#i didn't actually write the song

[dreadark]

I always thought it was interesting how, despite "love" being such a huge theme in ALNST, the only song that actually uses the word directly is Till's

now...I see...

(translation source)

Till was loved from the very beginning... born of love so how could he not express his own love...

queerplatonic narumitsu so good and important thank YOU

Thank YOU! My account is just me reaching frantically out into the void trying to find my fellow qpr enthusiasts, I am always happy to find more! Such a coincidence you sent an ask because I actually drew this kinda queerplatonic coded narumitsu after reading your fanfic, which maybe wasn't intended to be queerplatonic but it filled that niche for me! (everybody go read right it right now!!!) . It's not directly based on any of the scenes, just the emotions and vibes that you captured.

This drawing was also inspired by "Breathless on DVD" by Antarctigo Vespucci which is about two people missing different versions of eachother and only having an old version in their head to miss, someone please scream about these lyrics with me

I haven't seen you in a long time. Are you still 27 and mad at me?

You haven't seen me in a long time But I'm still 23 and worrying everyone I love is just pretending

pairing: narumi gen x gn!reader (no prns)

summary: he's always thought that anyone would do if he just wanted to find love but he realizes you're the one he wishes for, inspired by pop song by yonezu kenshi

warnings: some profanities from narumi

wc: 1300

Narumi Gen hated a lot of things, but one of his least favourites of all time was "true love". He despised when people would describe their love for another as "true love". It couldn't possibly be that serious. Just say you loved your partner. That was probably the extent feelings got to anyways— you just so happened to like each other at the same time. To him that was plenty of a feat alone, why would you have to make it sound like more than it is? For the sake of love? Ridiculous.

To him, that was truly all love was. If there was someone who liked him when he happened to like them too, that was enough. No need for years of pining, no need to get attached to some unrequited love. All that noise about love and destiny surely wasn't all that necessary.

Now, this wasn't to say that he didn't wish to find love— because he did. Like any other person, he truly wished to be loved. It was just that what he had in mind wasn't some deep pure love that'd last forever, nor was it a promise for eternity. He just wished for a light-hearted "I love you" here and there with someone he found special.

And for that, anyone would do. He'd find someone who fancied him along the way, and hopefully he'd like them back. That was all there was to it.

This meant his plan for finding his partner was sitting around and waiting. As horribly lame as that sounded, because he was Narumi Gen, this wasn't that hopeless of a plan. So, that's what he did. He'd go around saving people and doing his duties (to the absolute bare minimum) while making sure he was constantly trending, hoping that one day, someone would like him.

Today he was standing around for a solid five extra minutes after he defeated the honju with ease, hoping the media would snap some nice pictures of him, or he'd finally charm someone this time.

"Captain, you ought to stop that," you said. "It's rather embarrassing, you look desperate now."

"Oh, would you shut up," he said. "You're ruining my good name!"

You snorted. "What good name," you scoffed.

"I'm starting to think its your fault I'm not charming anyone. Perhaps if you didn't stop me every time, someone would have found me by now," he said.

"Yeah, right. Captain Ashiro seems to be having no issues charming people and I've never seen her try to," you said.

"You little shit," he said.

"Besides they're going to be utterly disappointed if they think this is what you're like and then they find out what you're… actually like," you said, and he was starting to think you wanted him to fire you. "It's okay. Someone will see how you're actually lovely at times soon."

"What?" he asked, shocked by what you said.

"What?" you replied, confused.

"You— you said lovely," he said quietly. Suddenly he felt flustered.

"Oh," you said, looking away and avoiding eye contact. It wasn't like you didn't mean to say that, but you didn't think it was that big of a deal. Rather, how flustered he sounded took you by surprise. “Well, you’re a little lame but you’re a good guy. Like you pretend you only do it for the media, but I know you’re always checking the alleyways that don’t have as much surveillance just in case, and checking alleyways isn’t something a captain has to do. And we both know the media isn’t writing about anything you do there. Things like that.”

“You never know!” he said, and you snorted.

“Alright then,” you said. “You do you, Captain.”

“I will!” he said back, trying to sound proud.

A week had passed and here he was, doing what he always did after arriving fashionably late to the scene and taking all the kaiju out in a matter of minutes: standing around trying to look good. Because he wanted love, and anyone would do. Anyone who liked him was supposed to do.

...

And yet he wished for you.

He wished that when he woke up, the first thing he would see was you. He wished that you'd smile at him everyday with love and genuine joy the way you did to others, and he wished that you’d smile that way to him alone. He wished that after a long day, he was the one you came home to. He wished from the bottom of his heart that you would always be safe and no harm would ever come your way. He wished that your days were filled with laughter and smiles and he knew he would risk his life to protect that.

It was so unlike him in a way he absolutely hated. True love was supposed to be nonsense and someone being ‘the one’ was supposed to be some dramatic line in a movie. It upset him, that he was so utterly fond of you. Yet, no matter how much it upset him, it didn't change the fact that he was, and he couldn't deny it anymore after trying to ignore it for the full week.

So here he was, acting stupid again, hoping that you’d scold him again or tell him he’s embarrassing himself, because that’s what it’s come down to. He just wanted another reason to talk to you.

But you wouldn’t come to stop him after 10 whole minutes.

“Why aren’t you stopping me?” he asked, irritated.

“Pardon?” you asked, utterly confused.

“Why aren’t you telling me to stop?” he asked again. He was aware how silly he sounded, but he was pissed off that you meant so much to him so he had to take it out on you.

“Because you told me to stop last time??” you replied. “I thought you were going to keep this up until you found yourself a partner.”

“You’re the one who told me to find someone that saw how I was…. lovely…. at times,” he said, but said the lovely very quietly. Remembering that you had described him as lovely made his cheeks burn and he’d rather die than let you see that.

“I mean, yeah. I do think you should,” you said.

“Don’t you notice, though?” he asked quietly, avoiding eye contact. There was a moment of silence.

“I do,” you said, and immediately he looked up to face you. You had a grin on your face and you looked so proud— you looked like you had won a game. Oh, how he hated you.

“You’re so annoying,” he said, and you raised an eyebrow.

“Rich coming from you,” you said.

“So, do you—,” he started to yell before cutting himself off. Carefully, he tried again. “Would you please… uh… be mine…?”

Oh, this is so embarrassing, he thought. Perhaps you’d laugh at him, but he wanted to do this properly, or at the very least try to. He’d be far more than just stupid to mess this up now. He was finally in love.

But your laughter never came. When he looked up your eyes were wide and you looked so flustered, but soon you had the most beautiful smile on your face.

“I would absolutely love to,” you said.

So he kissed you right then and there, because there was nothing he wanted to do more at the moment.

He laughed a little.

“What’s wrong?” you asked.

“No, nothing,” he said.

There was no way just anyone would do— it had to be you.

You're still standing off to the side. Somehow, center stage has shifted from under your feet without you realizing, and you're standing in the wings, performing to no one.

Sad asf - death

Poolverine where they have Laura and Ellie (Wade's child in the comics). Logan is destined to die before Wade in every universe whether they find each other or not, whether they date or not, whether they start a family or not.

They moved to the countryside - as in hours from another house countryside - after Althea died. Ellie and Laura were taught many different things such as gun safety, how to hunt safely and efficiently, that it's okay to show your emotions, that being a mutant or even just different from the 'norm' wasn't bad and that everything would be okay.

Laura would come visit fairly often but the time away slowly increased. Ellie also left to try different things and like Laura, her visits became shorter and less often. It wasn't until Logan was on his deathbed that they came to visit for the first time in two and a half years.

Laura has flashbacks of her other Logan dying and has regrets of not visiting more, not staying to help him. He didn't think it would happen so soon but she was wrong and she is going to forever regret it. Ellie had heard of the stories of their world's Wolverine off her sister and the remaining X-Men; they seemed so similar yet so different, she doesn't know how to explain it.

Logan and Wade expected this. They knew it was coming - that's why they moved to the countryside, to live our their days together and away from anything that would try and stop it. They didn't know how much time they had left together but they knew it wasn't long with the way Logan's claws would lock up, his joints becoming stiff and clicky, growing tired quickly from hunting trips or chopping down trees for their fires.

They made the most of everything and loved each other more than anything.

The day of the funeral, everyone was there. The remaining X-Men, the new recruits, those who fought by his side on few missions, Vanessa, Peter, Dopinder, Ellie, Laura and Wade. The whole family was together again and those up above reunited with one another.

Logan got to see his X-Men, the ones he failed, the ones who still cared and forgave him. He also met this world's X-Men and was welcomed with open arms. Wade held his two children close to him throughout the service.

One by one, everyone said their goodbyes. Ellie went, then Laura and then Wade. They hung back to let everyone else say it first, knowing they would take the longest. Ellie thought about the times she spent with her dad, gaining the confidence to become who she is. Laura was stuck thinking about her first Logan and how she didn't know what to do now that her second dad was dead. The one who raised her to never be ashamed of her claws.

Wade thought about how he was originally annoyed and upset that he never got to meet this world's Logan but he's happy he didn't. Otherwise, he would never have met his Logan. He stared at his face in the casket, holding his hand which displayed his claws, showing that he is The Wolverine, The X-Men and is not afraid of who he is.

The Merc ran fingers through his hair, whispering, "I'll take care of them, Kitty.. Logan. They'll be safe. I'll probably be a while but still. I'll see you soon." Logan watched down as the three walked away together, feeling his heart break for them, "I know you will, Bub. I'll see you when you're ready," Wolverine said back to him.

He felt hands on his shoulders - it was Scott's. Both of them. A small smile appeared on his face and he turned away to face his friends. His family. Laura's first Logan gave him a small nod with a hint of a smile. It signalled that he was proud of him, of Laura, of what she has become because of this Logan. It helped ease a weird tension in his gut. Logan and the two Scott's walked back to the group, ready to be one large family.

A totally random compilation

("Knockout" can mean an extremely attractive person for those who don't get it)

(Honestly, just pretend I uploaded the entire segment the following screencap is from):

(For context, in the segment where the screenshot below is from, Nickelwise is trying to scare Dot by using her vanity against her, claiming that "cuteness fades"):

(Like with The Cutening, pretend I uploaded this entire segment):

(She literally says "Alright Dot, kill her with cuteness" here):

(And this is a direct reference to the Animaniacs Sega Genesis game where she uses her cuteness/heart projectiles as an attack):

GUESS WHAT CAME TODAYYYYY!!!

Ugh I'm absolutely in love with this (and the album art book!!). I originally wanted to try and get a blue viynl, but I got impatient with HMV literally never restocking and Amazon selling out before I even know they're back on sale.

Did I maybe pay a little bit too much and indulge myself? Yes. But is it now among one of my favourite vinyl?? Definitely! Vessel's voice works so well on vinyl as well.

***p3 spoilers***

no but,NO BUT, I just wrote on in my tags about it but isn't "Full Moon Full Life" basically a duet?? I'm sure the lotus juice part's written from the protagonist's point of view, but the parts where Azumi Takahashi(the lead singer) sings, it seems like the lyric's being sung from someone who's been watching the protagonist rather than the protag himself. This person seems to be cheering him on, aware of all of his journeys and acknowledges it all

They are the one who is aware of the eventual outcome.

No matter how far (No matter how far!) How you'll go (How you'll go, how you'll go) How long it may last

When there’s a beginning There's an ending too

and they are "with" the protagonist, they refer to them as "we".

Only from the high will reach us to the sky Ups and downs, we put these hands up and enjoy the ride

Only time will tell the magnitude of this No longer we were made to be this way to keep

and they give protagonist life advice

As you go (As you go) Believe in (Believe in) The faith in yourself

Choices were made, reflect hope and fear Be brave, enduring the pain

They also talk about something that "goes away" but will remain

The pictures fade away But it will remain the same

in which the protagonist responds to as:

Heavy, low fates are riding like the trill Abide by the rules, but I'll shine and prove it to you

I think this should be ryoji. I think this song's sung from ryoji's perspective. Him and the protagonist are singing together because they work like metaphors of life and death, they're pretty much inseparable and were essentially in a single body for a long period of time. To live life to the fullest, you have to acknowledge death too. So I think they're singing together this time for the remake Carpe Diem and all

you know how in burn my dread the protag "grapples down the god of fear and throws him into hell's fire?" I love that so much btw, I think it's a powerful take on living life head-on

but Full Moon Full Life might be making this "god of fear" and the protagonist make peace and sing together in harmony.

and it's death now that tells life:

It's your life, burn your dread

If that's the case, I think that's so beautiful and displays another way to embrace life
