Peri's no good terrible bad day just seems to get worse and worse!

Timmy's hoping his baby brother didn't hear the whole conversation. But with that expression on his face, Timmy suspects it may be a bit too late for him. Timmy's companion scurried away as soon as he noticed Poof. A Pixie can sense drama and conflict from miles away.

it's so brennan to make the villain of the season a dead rage god but also make sure to include themes about how rage is not always bad

stray homestuck2 thought: there's something about how jake likes blue ladies; and jane, who is coded blue, but chooses to wear red.

Hey boss heard you wanted danganronpa head cannons. Buckle up:

So when Makoto told the gang he wanted to save the Remnants of Despair. Byakuya was the first on board.

Not because he believes in Makoto's 'hope can cure them.' At least not entirely. I feel he saw it as a chance to show the might of the Togami. After the killing game Makoto probably was super famous for saving the world and that upset Byakuya.

So Byakuya sees this little naive man say 'let's rehabilitate the biggest global terrorists while also going against our allies.' He sees this as an impossible task. But nothing is impossible for a Togami... and also he feels if anyone could pull this off it would be Makoto.

oh yeah i definitely think he would be arrogant enough to be like Hm yes it appears someone like yourself isn't suited for this. I Suppose I Have To Step In.

of course he eventually starts believing in the cause because makoto always finds a way (and also byakuya is whipped). But yeah I think initially it'd be a combination of a pride thing and a growing feeling that he'd follow Makoto wherever he goes

YOU HAD TO PRACTICE DANCING TO COTTON EYE JOE AS YOUR BIG UNIT TEST. GYM CLASS HAD A CIRCUS UNIT!! YOU HAD A WHOLE DAILY CLASS ON IMPROV!!! YOU FOOL!! YOU ABSOLUTE IMBICILE!! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN A YOUTUBER!!! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE TWEENAGERS GETTING LOADED BY MAKING SHITTY YOUTUBE SHORTS IN 2008-14!! But noooOoooOOOoo little miss Noellie (who WANTED TO GO!! who worked SO HARD and sent in an application essay and did an INTERVIEW to get in!!) couldn't handle disruptive classmates or little scuffles and petty grudges and general Attitude of the other students and cried to mommy to put her back in public school. I am EATING MY HAIR over what Could Have Been. I COULD BE SOMEONE'S ANNOYING YOUTUBER!! I could be a DISGRACED DISNEY CHANNEL STAR!! I could be an America's Got Talent winner!

But no no no precious thin skinned baby me heard a few new cus words and watched a teacher get heckled and begged to give up The Dream in favor of?? Quiet math tests?? I am such a fucking quitter I quit everything the second it gets too hard I always take the out as soon as it's offered what's my fucking damage.....

even has much angst about many things but the two they do not have any issues with are 1) being a test tube baby until they were adult-sized and 2) the master having swapped out various organs. and bones. and limbs. for parts that work when theirs got damaged beyond repair. usually without their consent. sometimes without their prior knowledge that he could do so. to be fair, that’s mostly because these things tend to accompany a fair amount of blood loss and unconsciousness.

I havent really been into the current state of the JJK manga for a while, im at the point where its ending might hold some value for me as someone who was already invested in the characters but largely aside from seeing how a few things pan out I just really really couldn't care less. 

that being said I have to thank gege for every new chapter giving us more and more good looking Gojos. the more feral and covered in blood the better, and hoo boy am I getting that.

[discranola]

i think it’d be really cool (read: agonizing for jotaro) if after star platinum finally unlocked the ability to stop time it started looking more and more like the world over the years. like its still clearly star platinum but changing in tiny little ways to look more like the world to the point where jotaro barely uses his stand because just seeing star platinum is enough to fuck him up sometimes. and having such a negative reaction to seeing the manifestation of your own soul is predictably not good for him!

I should be studying right now, but… do you ever think about how Arakawa didn't have to die?

Not even in the meta sense that it's RGG "tradition" to take faceclaims/father figures/antagonists out of the picture and that traditions should sometimes be broken, or that Aoki would've changed his mind, or that Ishioda or Tendo could've been stopped. But because Jo is the captain (and later second patriarch) of an organization specifically stated to specialize in faking deaths. A practice that originated in the Bubble Era years after Jo had already joined, and that Jo was no doubt intimately familiar with.

Like, isn't that why Arakawa was able to take that risk shooting Ichi? It just feels like things could've gone so much differently had Jo "accepted" Aoki's orders and "confronted" Arakawa with some kind of escape. Perhaps the Ijincho homeless camp would be off-limits, having drawn too much attention recently, but an assassin would surely know how to lay low for a while.

And maybe Aoki, Ishioda, and Tendo would've been undone by their own ambition anyway. And Arakawa could've kept his word and ran the security company with the pillars of the Tojo and Omi, while Jo could've been the chairman of the Tokyo Omi Alliance; light and shadow, opposite to their respective sons. And so many more yakuza wouldn't have been left with nowhere to go.

And hell, maybe none of it would've worked out in the end, maybe it would've all folded like a house of cards, but wasn't it worth a shot? Perhaps it was Yokoyama he who didn't think of it (or couldn't/didn't pursue it even if he did), perhaps it was Jo. But there's something so tragic about being so fundamentally opposed to lifting a finger in violence towards your co-parent and patriarch that you decline the opportunity to save him.

I wonder if the thought has ever occurred to Jo.

I wonder how much he regrets it.

UGH RIGHT IT'S SOOOO....

Like of COURSE I'm upset about Arakawa's death in that we lost a wonderful character and father figure in the franchise, but also it's cause it's just... for all the scheming Arakawa and Jo have been doing behind Aoki's back this entire time, Jo folded on this opportunity to get Arakawa out of Aoki's radar for good this time- or for at least the time being.

It's a testament to the humanity he convinced himself he threw away, and that's why it especially makes me want to scream. From our understanding, Jo is supposed to be very pragmatic and tries to deal with matters as efficiently as possible and generally seems emotionally detached from his work (of course we know that's not the case, but just from a surface-level perspective that's how it appears). So the one time Jo does show an ounce of humanity, it has the greatest consequence.

Raine, what are your thoughts on the future child?

Having very clearly just woken up, Raine pauses in the act of making breakfast.

His hair is still tousled, clothes rumpled, expression tired. Evidently, whatever sleep he did get wasn’t great.

“It’s weird as shit,” Raine answers, then yawns.

Which is the truth! Daz and Aster have fought from the word go, evidently having been on less than awesome terms from the moment they first met.

Daz has confessed that he considered killing Aster at one point, before he learned that lives are infinite here. Aster has confessed that he was suspicious of Daz, and rightfully so, and it’s always pissed him off that nobody else caught on.

Predictably, being in the middle of them is an interesting experience.

Y’know, at one point, Raine would have rather died than ever interact with another Tommy. Yet now he’s not just close to two of them, he considers them his best friends.

More than that, they’re not just any Tommys. Both Daz and Aster, for the entire time Raine has known them, have been powerful. Aster’s power lies in his strength, fighting, and those who follow him; Daz’s power lies in his mind, questionable morality, admin spark, and social networking.

At any given point, either of them could have ruined him.

Yet, instead, Raine has become their closest confidant. They turn to him, over and over, in search of reassurance and friendship.

It’s as heartwarming and heady as it is surreal.

In a way, the idea of the two of them getting together isn’t the craziest thing in the world. Enemies to lovers is a trope for a reason, and the core reason why Daz picked so many fucking fights– his paranoid need to have a safety net in Aster being willing to kill him if he ever crossed the line– is gone.

But at the same time…it feels strange.

The idea that they’ll turn from him and seek solace in each other makes him feel weird. Maybe it’s a sense of jealousy, even if it’s not in a romantic sense. 

But if both of them are seeing the same thing, and agree on that being their future– and if Daz has spent the night with Aster (albeit probably not in a sexual way)...

Well, it’s probably already happening, right? And it’d be fucked up beyond reason to, what– say they shouldn’t get together?

Raine knows both of them better than anyone, arguably bar Innit. There isn’t a single person who comes close to understanding Daz, and Aster talks to him about some of the ugliest parts of his life.

There’s a beautifully carved wooden axe that hangs in Raine’s room. Delicate lines that seem closer to brush strokes form symbols that carry enough meaning that Raine sometimes gets overwhelmed just looking at it.

That’s another thing him and Aster have in common. He might not look it, but Aster has an artistic streak.

Not that Daz doesn’t, too. His clothing and sewing ability speak for themselves…and, probably, Raine will finally get to wear some of it.

The idea that Daz, despite how close he’s inched over the years, still kept that line between them not because he didn’t want to but because he was afraid that crossing it would kill Raine…

Fuck. That still makes his heart ache with grief for his closest friend.

Because, yes; despite how fucked up he can be, despite his pettiness and borderline sociopathy, despite Raine’s past–

Daz is his dearest friend.

There’s something awe-inspiring about how Daz looked at him and saw worthiness, saw something nobody else ever had. Daz plucked him from nothingness and, after making sure he was ready, revealed a hidden world to him.

The hidden world is something precious to him, now. The quiet power, the confidence of being on the inside for once in his fucking life– the secret fraternity of those with a common, albeit unhinged, goal.

If both Aster and Daz agree that that’s the future, and that they see a kid?

Then Raine believes them. He believes that they’re seeing their future daughter.

…Fuck, it’s so weird to think that, someday, they’ll get married and have a kid. A biological kid, by the sounds of it.

Knowing Daz, everything will be methodically planned and prepared for.

Azira will come into the world with arguably more power even than Lee. If admin sparks are genetic– which they might not be, nobody has any idea how they actually work– and the kid gets one because Daz is her bio dad…

Holy fuck, she’s gonna be untouchable.

Not only will Azira have her fanatically loyal dads, but from the sound of it, Day will be close enough to them that he’ll be like a grandparent.

Oh, and of course, Theo and Lee would be godparents. Raine too, probably, not that he counts for all that much. Aleph and Khons will likely be two more fixtures in her life.

All of that alone is a lot. But on top of that, if she is an admin…

Well. Admins are rare, and she’d be the first admin born in the server.

San would be a bit like a fairy godparent, bending the world to that kid’s whims. Probably– hopefully– nothing too crazy, but, well…San is apparently very fond of all existing admins.

An admin born on the server, related by blood to one of the existing admins, who is beloved by at least three of the aforementioned admins– and probably including Lucid, too?

That’s not a level of power you can reach without insane luck.

…Is it a little weird that Raine feels a vague sense of jealousy about that, too? That this kid will not just become the axis around his best friends’ lives, but be born into a life of love, luxury, and power?

Maybe something to figure out how to talk to his therapist about.

That odd feeling aside, though, he is genuinely happy for his friends. He’s glad that they’re finally burying their stupid fucking hatchet– something he’s championed for years now– and getting along.

He blinks and realizes that the Observers are still present and that he’s halfway through his breakfast.

“Was that not enough? Uh– so, it’s…weird, like I said. But not really in a bad way? I mean, I’m happy for them, obviously. I want them to get along, and I want them to be happy. Them having a kid will be surreal as fuck, but…if that’s what they do, that’s what they do. And that kid is gonna be spoiled rotten by literally everyone, so– she’ll have a good life.”

Feeling a streak of mischief, he adds, “In the meantime, though…maybe if they bang, Daz will be able to unwind for once. He’s wound tighter than a bow aimed at the moon, y’know? Sure, the idea is gross, but I don’t have to know anything about it.”

He pauses, and then tacks on, “Weird as it is to say, maybe they can both just– chill, once that’s a thing they’re doing.”

From how Daz taunted Aster in that surreal and upsetting meeting, it sounds like they do actually get up to…that.

Weird! Raine has never seen either of them show or express interest in literally anyone, beyond Daz mentioning a sort of clinical, aesthetic appreciation on very rare occasion.

He was under the impression that they were both aro/ace. Evidently, though, that’s not true…or, really, maybe they’re something close? Demi, or something.

It’d track if that’s what they’ve been all along, and their existing extreme feelings just kinda…flips to the other end of the spectrum and turns romantic.

Holy shit, actually– Raine cannot fathom a reality in which either of them cheat.

Both of them are loyal to the point of fanatic zealotry. Both of them hate the concept of traitors and betrayal.

If they do get together, and especially get married, and even have a kid…

Yeah, no. Once they decide on that path, there’s no going back. The two of them will probably do something stupidly stubborn like die in their sleep together rather than only one of them living.

…Will Aster move in here, or will Daz take it upon himself to redo Aster’s house and move in there?

Huh. Living alone would be…weird.

…Maybe it’ll be worth feeling out Innit, seeing if its cool or not. It definitely did fuck up, but as Aster pointed out– so did most of Sanctuary.

Plus the punishment was pretty damn extreme. And if Innit truly does just want to live in peace…

It might just need a friend.

I'm not saying that she's an asshole or abusive for making a cake that was what he asked for plus something he didn't, but it's also incredibly immature to respond to his disappointment (that she inquired about specifically) by saying he liked it before and should be grateful she did anything at all. People are going to have those feelings regardless of if you think that's the appropriate reaction to have about a cake filling (or any kind of gift that's not quite what you wanted), and it's not mature to respond by just saying they should be grateful you gave them anything at all and then refusing to communicate further.
