All us anons have mentioned that you are indeed a lovely lady, and I gotta say, it's the freckles for me personally. It's scientific fact that freckles increase an individual's attractiveness by approximately 30% regardless of gender

Oh...th-thank you, hehehe...

They really are cute.

Thank you, Makoto-kun...

We should probably get going, huh?

Right, yeah!

*The two head off for their date, hand-in-hand*

Have fun, you two~

Everyone saying goodbye to Sam & Adar on Sam’s instagram just made this all too real for me now. It’s fully sunken in that there’s no more to come for Adar. Something I really wish I didn’t have to see. At least not so soon. Fuck.

i am right there with you feeling the pain, anon.

he is gone from the show, and we all have to mourn that and accept it.

but my one wild hope is that the Adar fandom continues!!!

i'm trying to look at the lingering questions the show left open about his identity as a gift to us. we have the contours, we know the outline of the story, but the details are ours to fill in now. we can keep speculating, we can keep theorizing, we can keep creating work based on this character. we can keep putting the dark side of Tolkien's legendarium under the microscope and challenging the dichotomy of good and evil. i think the professor would approve of that.

and so in that way, i hope, adar's legacy will have a life far beyond episode 8.

Hi it’s me again, still updating on the DCA server for coaxing lonely people out of their shells (link to come later, just check the “DCA fan brigade chat” tag on my blog and it’ll be up there when it’s ready to go, currently working on it with @flinxypie now the work day is over):

1. So we’re definitely looking for mods in busy timezones who are active, please dm or reply if this sounds like you or something you might want to do :>

2. I’ve seen a few neat name suggestions for the server like DCA fan brigade, DCA quiet corner, Daycare quiet corner, Lil social awkward daycare corner, among others! What kind of name does everyone like best? Or should we choose something else altogether? Please reply or reblog with tags if you have any thoughts!

Random detail I thought was cute: Ryne calls Lola "big sister" when he first meets her in the manga

[whenimaunicorn]

So many words of smutty smut smut written today. Somehow wrote two different Adar fuck scenes at the same time today? Now I'm enjoying a scotch with my extra hour. It's been a good day

For anyone who doesn't know Runaways currently has a short (?) run going on over in Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic. It picks up right where the comic ended and is following Karolina, Xavin and the Light Brigad as they try to get Karolina a healer and restore her powers. It's a nice little story so far and it's funny watching Karolina swing the Staff of One around.

Tristan being so preoccupied with Maryam's wellbeing as to go bejind her back and make her angry just so that she sees the problem is one of the sweetest dynamics I've seen.

[review-anon]

An asoot question specifically, thoughts on hotel akane?

Its a very interesting harem as while the Cuddle Puddle was formed due to Hajime's desire to get his old loved ones back, Akane naturally didn't love anyone but Utsuro in the Tragedy Timeline and being the pansexual disaster she is, once Sora gave her the harem rights since she's okay with just being with Yoruko, I was wondering where this was gonna go.

Her first partner is Ayame which is a very unsurprising ship as its a very common pairing indeed, but what I like, compared with the Cuddle Puddle is that each member is added after they've spend enough time together and developed feelings naturally. Of course Akane was already horny for Ayame, so it was a case of Ayame realising she is into women as well and then kissing Akane when she was around to comfort her in The Puppetmaster.

Akane and Nikei is one that definitely formed during the blog as no way would these two get together in canon, unlike with Ayame and Akane which you could argue if Akane learns her attachment to Utsuro was unhealthy, she could end up with Ayame. The two obviously have the connection they are Divine Luck users but as I mentioned in Nikei's analysis, Akane is the exact kind of person Nikei needs in life; someone who is patient and understanding of him, but also isn't gonna be pushed around by him and will stand her ground. They definitely got off the wrong foot at first since Akane decked Nikei in the stomach and then Nikei threatened to blow Akane's brains out, fun times. But eventually they made it up and Akane has apologised to Nikei numourus times about that as she said its more her fault for listening to Sora at the time. It also takes a while to progress but eventually in The Puppetmaster, they do the Fire Emblem thing where they confess their feelings while destroying Maverick's robots, which is both heartwarming and one of my funniest moments because of the sheer adsurity of it.

Nikei and Ayame's connections are also good as they got off to a good start when Ayame's first act is to stop Nikei being beaten to death by a mob. They haven't had as many moments together as they have had with Akane, but we do see a different side to their interactions as Ayame's attitude towards the Tragedy Timeline makes Nikei feel better about himself due to how vile his Tragedy self was, something that has given him a lot of guilt, and he also makes Ayame feel better about her feminine side which is a deep insensitivity she harbours due to her background and Japanese social norms.

Yuki and Kizuna are officialy together due to the Puppetmaster and while Kizuna has recieved a bit of a glow up in personality as she's not a shallow gold digger, just someone who's scared of being taken advantage of by men and ran away to Sunny Days to see herself for who she is. Its there she meets Yuki, the one boy who doesn't seek to take advantage of her and its that kindness which touches Kizuna and makes her fall for him, despite the fact when they get off the island, they live far apart so its a long distance relationship. In Yuki's case, his main vice is that he wants to feel like he's wanted and special, so the fact he's Kizuna's special person, has given him the self-confidence that he requires to be his own person.

Granted Kizuna and Yuki haven't spend much time with the other Hotel Akane members, but they will in future arcs and eventually the harem will be finished. I like this harem as it doesn't have the common ship options in it and while I feel the Cuddle Puddle was very rushed in execution, Hotel Akane is more of a slow burner which I prefer greatly.

I also find it hillarious all the members of Hotel Akane tried to or have killed each other in the Tragedy Timeline. Kizuna tried to kill Akane, who was then killed by Ayame to protect Akane, and Yuki not had his mother slaughtered by Akane who kidnapped him so Utsuro could steal his idenitity, but later on he would be gaslight by Nikei to try and kill Shinji. This harem is the biggest proof that all the members involved are trying to be better people in A Student Out of Time, which is more then I can say for the other harems.

Congratulations Tamami! Not only do you have a chance with the one and only Makoto Naegi, but you also have a chance with two very lovely ladies as well! n.n

*A short while later*

...

*knock knock*

Alright, here we go...

*He opens the door*

Hi, Makoto-kun!

Hey! Good to see you made it!

So, uhh...what do you think we should do?

That's, uhh...I'm not sure. There's a lotta stuff we could do.

Hm, what did you and Iroha-chan do for your first date?

Well, we were going to Spaceland, but then the prison break happened and so we hid back home for a while.

O-Okay, bad example!

I just wanna make sure I'm doing this right. I've, umm...never been asked out before.

You haven't?

I'm not really great with people. When I'm alone with people I don't really know, it makes me kinda tense...

Animals help with that, though. Talking to them always helps me relax.

And, umm...I trust you, Makoto-kun.

I'm glad to hear that.

Hey! What if we go to the arcade?

That sounds really fun! I love games!

Alright, let's go then.

Also, since this is a date, do you wanna hold hands?

Oh! Sure!

*They take each others' hands*

...

...

We, uh...should probably go soon, huh?

Probably.

O-Oh, hang on. I got a text.

__________________________________________

Makoto told me what you guys are up to today. Sorry I can't be there, but please do keep him company while I'm gone, Tamami-chan! Hope you guys have fun!

P.S. I knew you liked Makoto, so please don't feel like you're intruding. You're super cute and sweet and Sayaka-chan and I trust you both. If you wanna keep seeing him, that's cool with us!

Happy Valentine's Day <3 &lt;3 <3

Here I am feeling sick again remembering our Adar is really lost forever 😭. The grief keeps coming & going in waves. I just want to get through my day without the pain, damn. Sometimes I almost wish his character was never created. The loss of anything that could have been hurts too much 🖤💔

Off to write some elegies for him 🖋️

oh my dear, sweet anon.

please accept the tightest of hugs from me, and know that you are not alone in the grief over Adar. 🫂🫂

I have never mourned for a fictional character the way I'm mourning for him right now. As insane as it sounds, and as much as other people might not get it, grieving the loss of a fictional character is VALID.

Not only do we know we won't get to see him on the show again, there's also a heavy finality in knowing exactly how the story ENDS.

Now, it by no means will stop us from writing AU work and fix-it fics, speculating wildly, and doing everything we can to keep giving life to this character. But it does color the creative process in a different way, I think. Creating new work for Adar feels bittersweet now, in a way that it didn't before.

But I think we should keep creating!!!

So please, share your elegies with us!! Share everything with us!! This character stays alive now because of US!!

The Baddydaddy Brigade is here for you, mellon! Hang in there

How about 1, 2, and 3 for the Big Bad Bazz Brigade members?

i got distracted watching Castlevania whoops😅😅

anyway, here are my hot takes on these 3 beauties

1. Canon I outright reject

Bazz - he can't be the the only one patrolling the domain. that man NEEDS SLEEP!! also, he's got paperwork to do.

Rivan - that he's Dunma's biological dad. it's not that i outright reject it, i just like to believe he found her as an egg when he was a teen. he's too good of a person, and too big of a nerd to have a biological child at the age he was when Dunma was born.

Gaddison - i don't know a lot about Gaddison canon, sooooo... 😅

2. A canon or headcanon hill I will die on

Bazz - he hates showing emotion around others unless it's someone he's VERY close to. he hates PDA. he wants his life to be as private as possible. hates gossip. if he's in a vulnerable state, he'll stay of of sight.

Rivan - just as sweet as Sidon. i love that he cares so much for his daughter, and that he's so nervous to be away from her in TotK. he deserves more attention. i firmly believe he was the most reckless out of the 3, though he is just a big nerd who loves his friends.

Gaddison - HATES the Prince Sidon Fan Club. thinks they're the worst people. played with bugs as a kid. she's claimed herself to be a bloodstained soldier, and i believe that. also, very gay.

3. Obscure headcanon

Bazz - Seggin scolded the hell out of him for literally anything: being to loud, not speaking up enough, not being the top of his class, showing off too much, etc etc. that's why he's only affectionate around those he's EXTREMELY close to

Rivan - was definitely scolded for bringing home a Zora egg. i mean... my parents probably would have done the same honestly.

Gaddison - had a lot of gender identity issues as a child because of her sexuality. definitely had a crush on Mipha when she was little.
