I was really enjoying my silly lighthearted Oliver Twist sequel with fun surgery case-of-the-week drama. Did I accidently press a button or something, did I change the settings? Because suddenly I'm watching Grey's Anatony but everyone is in period dress? What happened this is so dramatic??

Yooo tv level family drama anon. I got a small yet huge update. Bring the wine out for this one. Lord knows i need some rn
Okay so, me and my sister met up for dinner yesterday with my two boyfriends and her platonic partner to kinda recap everything and stuff. During the meal my sis got a call from aunt bitch of all people. My sis's partner held the phone up to her (sis) ear while she signed to us what aunt bitch was saying.
To keep this from being longer then my last ask, heres the short version. Aunt bitch is not only divorcing her current husband but shes planning on marrying an rich old dude she met YESTERDAY
Now its no secret thats shes low key a gold digger but daaammmnn we didnt know she would do this.
And you wanna know why the dude agreed to it? (Btw we learned this through aunt bitchs soon to be ex husband #8 i think literally like 5mins after aunt bitch hung up) He has multiple kinks that he only wants satisfied with younger women. To give an idea of what those kinks are please read this very small list.
Armpits
School girl uniforms
Feet
And so so much more that i know no one wants to hear (soon to be ex husband #8 owes us all money after that conversation)
Oh also my other aunt, lets call her aunt nurse cuz she well a nurse, called me only a few minutes later to tell me thats theres a new family rumor that aunt bitch is a drug dealer on the side. And she gives one of 'her' kids heroin often
Thats not confirmed yet but aunt nurse is 90% sure that the second thing is true and is why one of my cousins is not doing too well lately.
Basically, tldr
Aunt bitch is getting divorced again and is planning to marry a kinky old rich guy.
Aunt nurse thinks that aint bitch is giving one of her kids hard drugs, specifically heroin.
Also theres a rumor in the family that aunt bitch is a drug dealer on the side.
In not weird and crazy news, my sis is getting married to her platonic partner (i forgot the better term sorry). Apparently they've been engaged since before the halloween get together but didnt say anything cuz we were all too busy gossiping about aunt bitch.
I'll see yall in like a few days with the good good stuff

more ds9 time bc heat make brain jelly. s2e7
fascinating that dax is down her playing dabo with quark. tongo. whatever.
ah. ferengi misogyny. i do enjoy that dax is very... unthreatened? shes basically just using it as an opportunity for banter. thats kinda fun.
ah, plot. lets go baby.
i feel like every time the nagus shows up im going to have to re-remember hes the one guy from the princess bride. in my defence have not SEEN that movie still but by reputation i am aware of the man.
okay so i have, for lack of word, clocked that that specific ferengi is being played by a female actress, so thats. hm. whats going on here. ah i see thats a plot point, i promise i noticed that before the scene where she returned to her room.
okay so dax genuinely is just like 'yea theyre shitheads but theyre funny' incredible? incredible.
we love a lady knight scenario, dont we folks. love a good ol' fashioned uhhhhhh alanna situation. yknow i always use alanna as my go to reference for a 'woman pretends to be a man' fiction and ive literally never read it or known anyone who has. niche, i guess.
so this is all the start of the ongoing ferengi women plotline, iirc. i know quarks mother (mothers?) shows up in later plots about ferengi politics, but i didnt realise we were gonna jump in with it. neat!
is dax's job now just advising other women on their romantic situations. its what she was doing in melora. like thats two eps in a row her primary role seems to be 'provide advice to a woman in love' whats the go.
i dont like the nagus but at least in universe i think thats the position of the majority of the people around him
make! out! like i dont really give a shit but like just go for it folks
thank you for your contribution to the plot, mr odo sir, very excellent work inciting a crime
now my thing is i dont actually like 'pretends to be a man' plots bc, yknow, ~transgender~, its a vibes based situation. anyway i skipped the scene but ive got the transcript, ive got the gist. im good. it seems fun. that said the way quark physically reacted to being kissed, and how hes reacting in every dialogue line afterwards, is uh. very dramatic? not sure where this is gonna go bc the signs point to Poorly for the both of them
but also "dont you want to know why i kissed you?" is the sort of shit i would say if i was trying to come out worse than i actually had. like "dont you want to know why i started shortening my name" level shit.
oh that was an excellent in the background there
this romance is doing Nothing for me lads
that said like, quark is still quite compelling as part of it. and the fact he defends Pel is sweet. but i also find it so difficult to take ferengi drama seriously because like, the nagus is RIGHT THERE, and he's a pure comic character. its pure comic. and that just sorta sucks drama out of it for me. whereas i think quark has the right balance of comedic greed and genuine pathos that he can carry dramatic story lines. pel isnt quiiite working for me in that respect but i already flagged my lack of interest in this specific kind of plotline earlier so its not her fault.
dax just vibing in the background of most of this episode was kinda fun though. i do like that.
okay so my verdict - ? two romance episodes back to back kinda sucks for me since i didnt really feel invested in either romance as a thing in itself, though maybe part of that is the foreknowledge that neither go anywhere, right. as an episode on its own i think its alright, but will probably be better as part of the overarching Ferengi plotlines later, i guess? idk. its not quite my thing. i did enjoy dax here though so she's starting to win me over after a rocky start

I like you have some dami hc (Dami-13 Jon-12)
(Also first crush jondami after the goon covno/purple)
Okay i can totally see Damian asking awkward questions to get out of talking with their family
You know like seggs related stuff and puberty shiz
They always loved that look of embarrassment and just awkwardness in the air
Well they were never awkward when someone told them “ask Bruce” or “um is someone calling me” they found it hilarious
Thats untill they tryed that with Dick
Dick perpeared a slide show a fucking slide show
And through everything they just covered their face and blushed from embarrassment you could mistake them for a tomato
Jason walked in and he said “taste of your own medicine brat” and Damian flipped him off
In my hc Damian stutters their fast thinking
I can so see new villain thinking a 13 year old thats stuttering means that their new but oh boy they’re wrong
Some goons have made a level of how much Damians stuttering and how afraid you should be
Goon(g): oh and we have the robin stuttering levels
New goon(n):the what?
G:oh yea robin has a stutter and we made a level of how fucked you are
N:alright?
G:since we’re one of the one dangerous villan goons we’re basing it off of that
G:if they barely stutter they’ve already planned 20 different ways to kill you
N:huh?!?!
G:yea and if they stutter like a normal amount for them you will most likely survive and just be left with a few broken bones or a coma
N:Say what now? How old is he?
G:they use they/them pronouns we might be a serial killers henchmen but we’re not transphobic here and they’re thirteen
N:THIRTEEN WTF?!??
G:culture shock?
N:THATS NORMAL
Damian and Jon were rivals for about a month (although they exaggerate that part a lot) and slowly became closer and closer
Thats until the older realized they might’ve liked the younger after six months of knowing him
They of course hid it very well
Or they thought they did
Everyone noticed how more bubbly the ex-assassin became and how just being on their phone typing could make them smile the slightest smile and a hint of red tinted on their face
(Damian was trying to keep a poker face they’ve gotten better at controlling their blush)
So the Protect Dami ClubTM held a meeting and declared it a code baby pink-first crush
They of course became nosy but failed and asked Cass for help but lucky she respects her siblings privacy
Of course Damian noticed and made sure they didnt reveal any secrets
It even helped them with acting in the drama club they were in
Thats until the Kents visitied the Waynes
Thats when it all went down hill for Damian keep up their poker face
They mentally cursed the butterflies in their stomach
Both the children were just oblivious to the blush of the other
The Protect Dami ClubTM hover (most of them) werent
Steph:wait have you guys seen how Damian and Jon acted around each other?
Tim:what?
Jason:yea the demon spawn has been hanging around Jon a lot
Dick:like we arent family
Duke:Steph do you think its what i think it is
Steph:yea i probably do
Cass *signing*: finally thought you guys will never notice

mingyu college au
other college aus; jun wonu
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You had heard your best friend ramble on and on about this boy named kim mingyu and how he's the heartthrob of the entire university,,,
he's the captain of the volleyball team,,, he's a biology major with environmental studies as a minor and he's also in like the japanese club and he speaks japanese super fluently,,, and everyone is like wow sIMP!!!!
but,,,, you don't even know the dude cause your department is on the other side!!! culinary majors have their own little bubble,, and even with business as a minor,, you had never even seen this kim mingyu,,
and today,,, you were running towards your building,,, your alarm had betrayed you,,, making you late for your very important ‘making a dish from scratch’ exam
And you most definitely needed to score well
but!!!! before you even knew it
you bumped in to someone's chest and fell back on your butt,,,, your samurai steel knife box went flying in the air
“can't you watch where you're going?” the person you bumped into, hissed. “or are you so short that you can't see?”
you looked up to see a melanin skinned, brown haired boy, a playful smile on his face,,,
“aren’t you going to help me up? Or are all tall people brain dead?” you retorted,, causing him to snicker, as he offered his hand,,,
“who are you and why have I never seen you here?” the boy asked, handing you the box.
“i–” just as you were about to introduce yourself, you came to the sudden realization, “my exam!” and you sped off, without saying another word
The boy, or otherwise known as Mingyu, smiled to himself, on the way back to volleyball practice.
almost a week later, you were assigned with collecting signups for this annual cooking competition that your department was holding
you wanted to collect plenty of signups because those that did would have a good name in the department and you def wanted it
you turned around to grab something
and iT HAPPENED AGAIN,,,,,,
you bumped into someone's chest bUT
instead of falling back, they caught you in their arms??
and you looked up to see the same melanin skinned tall boy
the same guy that you had previously bumped into and oh boy, the grin on his face
“so are all midgets blind?” he teased
“i might be blind but at least my height isn't my only personality trait–” you snapped, as he removed his arms from around you.
“alright kiddo, whatever helps you sleep at night,” he ruffled your hair.
and you were just like
KIDDO? THE FUCK YOU MEAN?
“why are you here?” you asked
“I'm actually here to sign up for the cooking competition–” he smiled. “my friends have been forcing me to take part in it, so I am.”
“you? And cooking?” you let out a laugh. “sounds like a joke.”
“i bet that I can beat you, a culinary major–” he responded.
“yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night,” you repeated the same sentence he used, a grin on your face.
“bet?”
“oh you're on,” you replied. “what does the winner get?”
“all the glory and the loser has to be their servant.”
“get ready to lose,,,,,, um– wait what's your name?”
“kim mingyu, the one and only,” he winked as he walked away
aND BOI WHERE YOU SHOCKED because you always expected mingyu to be different but he was like ,,,,,,, this
not that you were complaining though
the entire next week, you kept on seeing mingyu at campus and he'd have a teasing smile on his face that basically just said, ‘get ready to lose’
he also sneaked up from behind and hid your knife box, putting it where you couldn't reach
and you were just like, “that bastard is so lucky I don't stab him”
soon it was time for the competition and you were super excited because you were sure kim mingyu would lose bec clearly you were a culinary major this was nothing for you
and almost half the uni was there ,,,,, because everyone found out that you two didn't get along and had a bet going oN
wHICH WAS DRAMA FOR THEM
and mingyu's fanclub wAS ALSO THERE AND YOUR BEST FRIEND WAS LEADING IT SMH
You, mingyu and nine other contestants were going to have a cook off and you had almost 130 minutes to make éclairs with different fillings
and you were like,,, this is a piece of c a k e for me
mingyu's station was behind yours
the timer started etc
and you started getting on with making the choux pastry and everything was cool
till you realized that something was wrong with your dough ,,,,,, like it didn't have the consistency it was supposed to have
and yOU PANICKED BEC CLEARLY THERE WAS A LOT ON THE LINE
and you took a peak at mingyu's station and his dough looked ,,,,,, PERFECT
and you on the other hand were about to have a mental breakdown bec if you lost,,,,,, your department would make so much fun of you like you were a culinary major for fucks sake
and mingyu noticed that you were having a breakdown but he didn't say anything
eventually you somehow managed to get it together but your dough was still pretty bad and it wasn't fluffy at all
the different fillings turned out great though
the timer rang
you turned around to look at mingyu's dish and it looked fucking brilliant and you were just so ready to be embarrassed you couldn't even look him in the eyes
so you just tried to hold your tears in as you presented your dish to the judges which were senior culinary majors
and they pointed out that the consistency of the dough wasn't good but like aside from that your dish was pretty awesome
and mingyu
they couldn't even taste his dish
becAUSE IT WAS TOO SALTY
apparently he added salt instead of sugar
and so he walked off with a sheepish smile on his face and yOU WERE SO HAPPY BEC EVEN IF YOU DIDNT WIN YOU TECHNICALLY BEAT HIM
buT SURPRISE YOU DID ACTUALLY GET 2ND PLACE
While mingyu got last
but the more you thought about it,,,, something was off
mingyu had the perfect dough, he wouldn't be that stupid to add salt instead of sugar right??
after the clean up and everything, you saw mingyu and you went up ahead to talk to him
“hey you won the bet! Great,” he smiled. “so ma'am,, what may I do for you?” he bowed, jokingly
but you were annoyed
“tell me the truth, mingyu,” you demanded, sternly. “i know you aren't that stupid to add salt instead of sugar.”
“no,,, I actually am,,, that stupid” he joked,,
“mingyu, please tell me honestly.”
He sighed, “i just saw you holding your tears back in and that's when I knew this meant more to you than it did to me, so I just did what I had to do,” he admitted.
“mingyu,,,,, that's just–” you were shocked to say the least. I mean, you knew he was nice but this was just, over the top for you
“look– you still won the bet,” he reminded. “and besides, I couldn't beat you even if I tried, you're a culinary major,,,,,, a pretty short one at that too.”
“did you just,,, insult me again?”
“how's it going down there, shortie?” he teased, a playful smile on his face
“why don't you look out for that aeroplane you tall freak,” you replied, a smile finding it's way to your lips.
mingyu chuckled.
“in all seriousness though, thank you mingyu, it means a lot,” you told him, truthfully. “besides, betting is stupid anyway.”
“really?” he asked. “because i can bet that i can make you fall in love with me in two weeks,” he replied, a smug expression on his face.
“dream on,” you hissed.
“what– scared you're gonna lose?” he taunted.
“oh you're on, kim mingyu,” you shook hands
and in the moment, mingyu pulled you closer, and bent down to your level
“but just so you know– I won't lose this time,” he whispered, that damned grin on his face.

Hi, I have always read your furuba reviews and I'm very curious about which are your favorite characters and why?
HI!
Thank you for reading my posts<3. I know I've been slow lately, but I'm not in a right emotional place right now, but I'll be back to posting soon. Actually talking abt furuba & story-telling here in tumblr is such a peaceful outlet that I'm thankful for.
While I love 97% of furuba characters, my faves kept changing while I watched the anime. I decided to have 5 top characters as faves & number one kept changing as the anime progressed.
Since I'm all abt story-telling, I think I need to separate the anime from the manga cuz no way in the anime that tohru would be on my top 5, heck not even top 10! I really don't like how her character was reduced to yuki's mommy-tohru, then angel-tohru, then villain-fixer tohru. The real individual tohru with her own personal story is just two eps long, so meh~. Also, while yuki is in my top 5 in the anime, I don't like how he's too perfect & prince in the anime while his own theme is the imperfect non-prince. Kyo's, too in my top 5 but I dont like how his own story is intentionally messed up by the anime with the stupid "I forgot" that contradicts the anime's own canon plot...
So, I'll tell you my top 5 fave character in the manga so fat with no particular order.
Tohru, while I'm yet to uncover her own plot in the manga, so far she has way more character exploration & depth!! She really feels like a different character from the anime! I'm shocked! The facial expressions, the occasional doubtful self-talk, even the "fake-smile"mask she puts is so expressive. She is treated as a character with a personal plot , regardless of being the protagonist. Her own plot is not reliant on being yuki's mommy, or the sohma's shrink, or a fixer. Her own plot line is abt grief & being lonely. It's the most common struggle that we all share regardless of our gender, race, financial status. Death is the ultimate fact & we'll face loosing a loved one & feeling lonely is not related to social skills nor being loved. I'll forever hate the anime for passing on such unique universal theme in favor of emphasizing the most popular shonen-themed coming of age story ( a boy becoming a man) "yuki" or the over-exaggerated drama in "kyo's". Like I dont want them to pass any of the 3 characters plotlines, but the anime made a choice & forever cemented anime tohru as the most "fixer"character in anime history like 98765678 of other female protagonists.
Yuki has way more character & realness in the manga. He doesnt come off as narrator-y as he does in the anime simply cuz the anime only chose the parts where yuki narrates as a voice-over & told us how to feel & dropped all the parts where he's interacting & actually talking to other characters not just the audience. His own personal story is abt "observing, learning & having the guts to make a move & embracing his own imperfection". I love this! Anime yuki is not imperfect. no. he's the icon of perfect prince, he even initiates a set of fanclub girls into the world that they float! He's so perfect, he "heals" a girl simply by talking to her once. That's all it takes him to fall in love & find his soulmate. While in the manga, I'm starting to see yuki display signs of "kind jerk" in the making, that's refreshing!
I admit that I didn't include kyo into my top 5 until se02. Don't get me wrong, he's so endearing since ep1, but didnt seem to be complex nor refreshing as the others. but se02, ep 9 was the first glimpse into his own character depth & I got hooked! I'm so in love with the theme of "repeated mistakes & guilt". it's such a mature theme & speaks to a much wider audience. The more we repeat the same mistakes, the more we self-sabotage our lives. Also, I love the love isn't a magic healing element in his story. He's the most loved character by tohru, yet her love only hurt him more due to his guilt. Moreover, the romantic element itself wasnt a cliche "love at 1st sight, nor lovers since childhood, nor girl fixes a guy, nor guy protects the girl from danger". Not at all. It was "love blooming subtly, little by little by mundane daily life". I cant express how much I applaud Takaya-san for such complex writing. In the anime, kyo only comes when it's his ep, other than that, he's absent or characterless. I hated that. So far in the manga, kyo has an existence even in other plotlines & has different aspects of his character. Also, I'm shocked at how much inner dialogue he has! like no too much that it involves other character nor too little that you dont understand him. It's just the right amount.
Momiji. He's the most balanced character. He isnt fixed by tohru, but isnt perfectly fine either. He's the definition of the right amount of kindness. He doesn sell himself to make other happy like tohru or kureno, nor puts himself in danger to save others like haru. He does help others but also helps himself. He helped his mom forget him cuz honestly that wasnt even his choice. it's the dad's. He participated willingly tho in avoiding her, but he didnt dwell in self pity & locked himself emotionally. He let go of loving tohru & encouraged kyo, but while he genuinely loved kyo, he didnt just back off cuz he's kind & a sacrificial angel. He stood like a man & challenged kyo for tohru's heart, but let go when he realized the choice is tohru's. not them. They can love her aromatically, but she's the one who decides who to be with. I love the theme of "not competing for love". it's not a competition really. never was. Still, as love sick & heart-broken as he was, momiji didnt dwell in self-pity & after allowing himself to heal, he bounced back & smiled. Momiji is no foolish traveler.
The spot is reserved to a certain character that I want the manga to prove their worth. I dont want them to be as shallow as the anime made them to be. I want to see depth. I dont know if the manga writes them better, but once I finish the manga, I'll know.
I wanted to add shigure but no. Despite all the complexity & the unique roles he has & despite how much I love characters with big giant flaws & ugly characteristics, shigre fell from my top 5 long ago. Look, this seems petty but I can't get over the fact that he slept with akito's mom. ewwwww. It makes me wanna puke! so disgusting. yuck yuck yuck! I dont mind that he "cheated"or wanted to "hurt akito by sleeping with ANOTHER woman". As a matter of fact, such acts create drama, ugly feelings & emotional struggle. I love such things in fiction. but he did it with the mother. He actually laid with both mom & daughter in his life. ewwwwww! This level of eww is so revolting to me! Some ppl are disgusted by bugs & worms that they want to puke, me.. when ppl sleep with both parent/off spring, or both siblings. Yuck! & it's even more yuck that it didnt stop their "love" from being real/ happy/ perfect/ passionate! & that it worked in making akito "want him more & be a "woman" for him"... ew!
lol, so yeah~here's my super long answer to ur super short qs. but I dont be "papers"if I didnt write till my fingers hurt, now would I? XD. I enjoyed ur question so much! thanks<3.
Anon, Don't get offended ny my shigure-rant! XD. its petty, I know. if u read this, tell me who's ur fave?

@bonknanab here's your taeho reading💕💖💕💖💕 get ready to be emotional
This is so long rip
P1harmony:
Theo🤝Keeho
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sun
Theo: Cancer, uwu. Protective sweethearts. That mom energy. But can be v protective of themselves too. That's the kind of the hard exterior you could see A Lot when he was first in camera, and the shy aurora even tho he's an extrovert. He's just trying to protect his soft self from the world. They really like to feel safe (kinda like taurus) they like to have a home that's secure so they tend to resist change. They can be pretty sentimental. They're guided by their emotions. They're pretty vulnerable and have a deep capacity for love. Very sensitive, can get hurt easily. Can be touchy, dependable and caring
Keeho: libra, air. Very sociable, just really love being with people. Very approachable. They really like balance but they can unintentionally cause problems because they spread themselves too thin. They really have good intentions but they could 100% lie to not create waves. Theyll kind of do anything to keep the peace. They can be pretty indirect/ hate confrontation, which can drive some people mad (🙋🏼‍♀️its me😂)Real masterful at avoiding things. They have high expectations and tend to compare things.
Moons
Theo- scorpio: I love this boy so much wow😭
He's and emotional boyyy. So he really likes emotional intensity. He feels things really deeply. They can really see through to the soul of a person. They unconsciously get uneasy when things are too calm/ easy and might seek emotional excitement/ drama. All or nothing. They dont want flings, they dont start things unless they'll finish them. Ok so they love commitment, they seek it ok, but they're also super cautious and suspicious of everyone. They tend to unintentionally test the people in their lives for loyalty...But after theyve committed they're incredibly loyal and protective😭Some people can be intimidated by them but others are drawn to them. They seem to just know things, crazy good intuition.
Keeho-Aqua, air. Unique, used to being different, shy kids. They're kind of detached and like to observe and try to understand others. So he has pretty strong barriers. They're pretty sociable but still have the heart of a loner☹. They really love letting other people know they're different and possibly shocking them. They brag about their loved ones uwu. General kindness towards others. Can be willful. The need a certain amount of freedom, and are pretty independent, at least emotionally.
Mercury
Theo- gemini, air. Scattered, eclectic interests. They have a basic knowledge of a lot of things. Quick learners, take in a lot from their environments. Can become restless. They can be very logical (but his water definitely adds the emotion and intuition) Very adaptable, not very attached to their ideals. Smooth talkers, possible deceptive humor (like poking at someones weakness, but lightheartedly) Good communicators and decision makers.
Keeho- libra....this boy is all air wtf. These people irk me because if you take a stance they automatically take the opposite "so it's equal"
Anyway they strive for that equality and diplomacy. Very pleasing communicators. They might be focused on trying to sound smart they forget to listen to the other person😂 They're gentle and adapt to others comfort levels. They are always looking for compromise, they hate absolutes in opinion. Great mediators (wow great leader) They can get lost in indecision because they weigh the good and bad almost endlessly. HELP it's hard for them to give a compliment without adding something 😂BOY. They try to make everyone happy. They tend to need other people to make a decision....but when they give input this mf will probably choose the other option💆🏼‍♀️
Venus
Theo- taurus- I want to give this boy a hugggg😭
So they need to be comfy. They need dependability in their relationships. Can be possessive in love. They're very touchy in their affection. They do hate change but they are incredibly dependable. To win them over you need to show your loyalty and show how much they mean to you. They can take a while to warm up but that's just because they're a slow/ cautious earth sign. Dont push them, but get comfy with them, do cozy things together. " Harmony and peace are important factors in the art and music they are attracted to." They really said harmony💖
Keeho- virgo, earth. Not flirty👀👀 pffft ok. Tries to win someone over with devotion and showing them a ton of attention. Cautious, slowly makes his way into their heart. Sensitive and insecure in love😭 They need to know feelings are mutual before they make a move..... Can childishly tease their crush💆🏼‍♀️ But they have good intentions. They arent attracted to show offs, they like understated, unnoticed people. These people love quietly helping and doing the little things. You'll win them over if you recognize their efforts, they just want to be appreciated.
Mars
Theo- sagittarius, fire.
When they feel attacked or threatened they have the need to run and just go do something else. Then they come back. It's really go for these people to be physically active, they need a healthy outlet. Can be pretty scattered, they just do what they want to in that moment which can mean leaving a ton of projects unfinished. Optimistic, fun loving. Love a good debate, but with his gem mercury I highly doubt it would get as heated as with a less flexible sign (like me). Passionate, open-minded, but can be blunt. Lol they can be confusing because they go from fun loving to intense. They need space and freedom, probably not a ton cuz he is a cancer, but like freedom to express himself. They have grand and idealistic ideas.
Skip S*x mentions: ok so doesnt have a lot of patience for anything too complex. Loves to have fun and laugh. Lowkey selfish. Can be very direct but almost innocently? Not a fan of people playing hard to get. They dont care for anything to serious in the bedroom (idk this might not be so true with his other placements, but the emotions probably come right after.
Keeho- cap, earth: this boy is v interesting.
Lowkey energy LOL. Very determined. Very goal oriented and focused. They like to be on top of everything. They have a lot of self control. They like to be in control. Really reliable, great leader.
*Straightforward and simple. Will want to keep it v private. They like when they're with someone who's experienced and powerful.
Messy thoughts
Ok but keeho would love theos mercury because hes unlikely to have extreme opinions and they're both very adaptable, I can imagine them getting into any serious arguments at all. I know keeho would annoy me so much but theo is probably totally fine. K- want to go to A ot B for dinner? T- B,  K- ok but what if we go to A. T- ya that's fine. Like wow🤝
Earth venuses😭😭😭😭 they're actually perfect dont touch me. Needs dependability/ wins you over with dependability. Perfection. They both play the long game, slow burn. Keeho literally is attracted to wall flowers goodbye. Just say theo is your soulmate and leave. Keeho called theo his love for a reasonnnn also theo fr didnt say anything cuz yes we are each others love.
They both need their own space
Ok so I think theo would really appreciate keeho non-confrontational self because theos pretty sensitive 😭
It's really looking like theo is the type of person to get lost in their emotions and keeho could really help pull him out of that and help him just chill? Have fun?
Ok sooooo their moons are not the bestttt. Cuz scorp is super emotional and deep and aqua is like... detached. Their emotional selves are very different. But also they could be so intrigued by each other, like trying to understand wtf is going on in their heads.
Ok but theo can 100% see passed keehos emotional barriers and like See him. And I feel like keeho might not have ever felt that before and😭😭😭 idk they could be really really close.
Keeho sounds so sweet and perfect for theo. Always making sure hes comfy😭
(They really both said keep it simple in the bedroom. Like damn ok, keep being a perfect match)

The Freedom of Expression Ep 3 - Michelin Star related suicide.
K: Hi, this is Dir en grey's Kaoru, getting started with the third episode of The Freedom of Expression.
J, T: Yep.
K: Joe Yokomizu san and Tasai san are here again. So, how are we doing, after the second time?
Kami:*interrupts*
J: Ah, He's cutting in early today.
Kami: Yes, yes, yes. Im thinking a lot about my timing.
J: You're entering from every possible angle?
Kami: Yes, thats it.
K: What do you think after the first two episodes? We are on our third today, but does it seem interesting?
K: As a god, im kinda out of things to say.
J: Really?
Kami: Yep
J: You would think a god would know about all sorts of things.
Kami: I don't know all that much. *K laughs* Im studying, Im working on it.
T: Last time, the suspicion arose that he was poverty stricken, didnt it?
J: Yes, he pointed out he was a poverty stricken god.
Kami: I told you not to say that! *K laughs*
T: Sorry..
Kami: Its a problem.
K: After we finished last time, we ended up talking a lot about money, didn't we?
J: Yes, we did. *everyone laughing*
Kami: Yep, yep.
J: After the recording, Kami spoke non stop about money, didn't he? He is really attached to it..for a god. You'd think he'd be the one least interested in that, but he turns out to be the one most interested.
Kami: It wasn't that bad until then. It wasn't like that back on the radio show. It really has become a problem recently.
J: Oh now?
T: I see.
Kami: Yes, now.
K: Right, well, our third episode...
J: Yes, the title is 'Suicide resulting from Michelin stars - In the lawsuit of a former 3 star Michelin star chef, the court rules that....'
This is concerning the Michelin guide which was even popularised in a TV drama last year. In its country of origin, France, there is so much pressure, the fear of losing a star can even lead to suicide. A Chef who lost his third star even filed a lawsuit against Michelin. As for the specific story, Marc Veyrat, who runs the famous restaurant 'La Maison des Bois' in the Alps, recieved the long awaited 3 star rating in 2018. Just one year later, this dropped to a 2 star rating. Veyrat responded angrily, 'The quality of my food hasn't changed at all. Its a mistake in the inspection', and brought the case against Michelin. As well as demading the inspector's qualifications and the report to be made public, as his demotion has led to him to  falling into a state of depression, he is suing Michelin for the sum of just 1 Euro, or in yen, 120 yen. He has been telling the media of his discontent that the inspectors could not recognize the cheese Reblochon, from the Savoy region, and probably mistook it for the widely produced cheddar cheese. Nanterre courthouse in the suburbs of Paris responded, that as well as the evaluation of the inspector coming down to freedom of expression, the plaintiff did not show good enough reason that  his reputation had been marred. The famous chef was defeated, but the agony of chefs over the star rating is becoming a problem in society. By the way, simply put, the standard for the inspection, or the standard for the stars, is the food only. Not the restaurant interior, or the service. The food is assessed on the following five criteria. 1) The quality of the ingrediants. 2) The level of skill and amount of seasoning. 3) Originality. 4) Cost performance. 5) The consistency of the presented dishes on the whole. This is the same all over the world. As for the meaning of the stars, this is as follows. One star = Food that is particularly delicious within its category. Two stars = Spectacular food that is worth making a detour to have it. Three stars = Excellent food that is worth specifically traveling just to have it. The report is produced by a group consisting of the inspectors, the chief editor and all other responsible parties for the Michelin guide book. Every year they recieved around 45,000 emails and letters from thier readers, which they look through, and sometimes even do re-evaluations. ....Food!
K: Food...
J: Yep...I mean, reputation really controls which restaurants we go to.  Kaoru, what do you think?
K: Hmm, well, its an inspection isnt it?
J: Yes, its an inspection.
K: I was in Paris last year. There are loads of these aren't there? * the others laugh*
J: Well, yes. So, he didn't change anything about his food, but his rating still dropped, whats that all about?
K: Isn't it precisely because he didn't do anything new?
J: Oh, could it be that? If others are upping thier game, you will naturally drop.
K: There couldn't really be someone who mistook it for mass produced cheddar cheese.
J: You'd think, wouldn't you?
K: And then, maybe people are just different, no matter what it is. Even if its the same person..
J: Maybe they were feeling bad or something..
K: Hmm, an inspection is...Well, if it was sports or combat sport or something..the observers can easily judge the game, like..oh this one definitely won...But with music, or movies....appraisals of 'things', its different depending on the person isnt it.
J: Yes, you're right.
K: This type of guide is for people who want to expand thier knowledge, the Michelin guide ...For movies it would be the Academy Awards, and there are tv shows doing the same thing.  Its just to make things easier for people...so, in the end, it seems like it can't be helped really.
J: Well, thats it, yes. I dont know about Michelin, but Im in the position to do album reviews, so im in the place to award stars...and, its true, if its a genre you like, you just naturally like it, and are prone to jacking up the stars, but if its a genre you don't listen to, you feel unfamiliar and it takes a while to figure out whether its good or bad. So certainly, as for awarding stars.. asking people, well, im just repeating what you said Kaoru, its not objective information. You have to try and think about the aim. If the orgainisation drops a star from you it doesn't necessarily mean you are bad..
K: Its like a contest or that type of thing, you can still see who's winning the game..
J: Like 1-1, you can see whos winning in front of you, the circumstances are a little different from this though.
K: Eventually, won't it affect thier sales though?
J: I think so.
T: Don't you think diners also rely too much on this kind of guide?
K: You can check anything on your smartphone, you don't really know whats true.
J: You don't, there are these restaurant review sites where some people are paid to write good reviews, and some people are paid to write bad reviews, you know, to destroy thier rivals they will write bad stuff...So its difficult to know how far to trust that type of thing. By the way, Kaoru, do you refer to reviews in relation to food, or new music or anything like that?
K: Well, I do, yes. Guides and such...Usually, I  get information I want to know from all over the place. I ask people, like..'I want to eat this', or 'I wonder if that place is good' or something,  I ask people what they think.
T: But when you want to go to see a movie, do you ask someone who likes movies?
K: I'll read what someone has written about it, or I'll read what they've posted on social media.
J: The main thing is listening to people you can trust.
K: Yes, thats it.
J: Someone you are familiar with, or some well-informed person. Also someone you see eye to eye with.
T: Thats right.
J: If you go out for food with someone, and they say 'this is delicious', if you ask them what else they like, it will be the same kind of things that you like.
K: Really, I've never been to a two star or three star Michelin restaurant * the others laugh*.
J: Well, this internet age isn't going to end...
T: Right
J: Just how far will people trust this kind of assesment, or star rating?
T: Joe, have you ever been hassled by anyone because of this? By artists or such?
J: I havn't actually...I write what I didn't personally like, and sign my name with a star rating, then, 'this is what I think, but what do YOU think', to continue the conversation.
K: Our boss in our office, he was in a band a long time ago, and he got angry about something that was written in a magazine, so he stormed over to the magazine headquarters * the others laugh*  He might ????*1
J,T: Your boss, wow!
J: What was the magazine?
K: Oh, I don't remember..*laughing*
J: Which of them has the freedon of expression? *laughing*
K: They are both clashing with each other.
J: The moment their freedom clashed *laughs*
T: But, Ive heard that kind of story before...A hip hop artist or something, went to a magazine and tried to restrain or kidnap the editor. He took it that seriously.
J: Well, in a music magazine, if you write an article, its the same with interviews, you dont know whether the other party will see or hear it. For me, after editing, I think its good to show it to the artist once. Im only writing my ideas, and there are times where thats not the reality.
For interviews, you dont necessarily hand over the questions in advance, and if im just asking at random, the artist may feel on the spot and not be able to say what they really feel, so i think its good to show them once, to get the facts right.  With reviews too, i think showing them what i intend to write is important. But there are magazines where the boss doesnt get the content checked, 'you said it, so take responsibility', kind of thing. Thats a bit harsh, i think.
T: Well, yes. With interviews, I think its good to show the person. Protecting freedom should be kept independent.
J: Yes, yes, you are free to write what you think, but this is also keeping it real by checking if artists are holding responsibility for what they say. They decide whether they can really say that after checking it first.
K: There are times when you wish you'd used more words..
J: There are! Of course, its limited to the time and place of the interview, for example 1 hour, the time is squeezed. You have to get on with it, with little explanation..sometimes you need to supplement that.
T: Yes, you're right.
K: What do you think, Kami?
J: Kamiii?
Kami: *stifled laugh* Yes, what?
J: I don't know how to address him.
Kami: No no, don't worry about that, we are short on time.
K: Yes, our third installment is ending.
J: It felt quick today..somehow.
K: Originally, one episode was supposed to have two news items.
J: Yeah, i thought that.
K: But it didn't work that way, did it?
J: No, it didnt. What do the viewers think? Is one item enough? Or do they want two items at a faster pace?
K: If its too long, they won't be able to watch it.
J,T: Right.
T: A shorter video is better.
J: As for raising the number of views, right?
K: We talk about quite difficult stuff too, we should try to break into it as much as we can, make it interesting. Oh, and Kami, even his voice is interesting.
J: Its enough.
K: Well, that was the third installment, please tune in next time.
K, J, T: Thank you very much.
*1 I couldn't catch this.

This is a personal kinda critique/my thoughts w the show im in my phone in a hotel w my parents in boston and im just rly fucking crazy rn and i cant put a read more link my bad. tagging it just in case cos i have some technical thoughts too but i doubt ppl care. I may delete this. Why is ttumblr for iphone so vad where the eff is the read more jawn.......ANYWAY
my uncle died and it has taken an insane emotional toll on me more than i thought possible. spiraling me i to an episode. when the pandemic began, i remember i was watching 2gether and it gave me solace because i had nothing else. i lost two jobs—one very important for my career—my relationship with my parents is fraught, im 29, and i have to live with them. but when i look back on 2gether, since it was what i was doing a lot at the time bc we could do even less than now, i dont feel a connection i just watched it at the time.
blih may be like this, but my uncle died...the day before it aired. I guess i watched it the next day out of desperation. I just went to check and im crying now. Idk what memories ill have of the show and i hate marking periods of my life by such silly capitalist output but what choice do we have anyway? it was nice because i got to see something mild and sweet.
and i have to say, the mom cameo was really touching. so was director mai. having grief and having a really neglected childhood those two things made me cry. they got his mother’s reaction downpat to losing the love of her life and being a widow—it hit me like a ton of bricks to hear that talk then go to the memorial service snd take care of my cousins and be there for my aunt. Im no one and not a widow but that type of love for a partner and being able to celebrate him abd love him completely forever and not having the memory leave you. It is important to me to see that it is possible. This could lie the rub between BL just for BL sake or like actual shows that are dramas that happen to have different types of ppl and not ignoring their way of life or possibility (“querrness means possibility” - a famous thai auteur named joe)
love is a really beautifl and previous thing and people deserve happiness and respect and to be loved. theres a person who is with you and the people around you and one day they could leave. for whatever reason. should we not try? if not for the emotional buts i think the show would be something people care less avout but that was a draw. and for the first time in so long especially for a BL i thought, “wow, i feel something and i’m having fun.”
it’s hsrd to talk about and personal. i miss him more than life itself. Some days it is so bad. I want to exit the earth and dnot do it anymore. but theres little teeny thngs that make it a bit better to hold on. lol theres so much to do and to be happy with. and so much to fall into despair. id rather watch it go by but i dont want to miss a chance to feel what they feel or loving people around me and finding the love of my life and my calling.
it was nice to wait for something every week that was sort of like a friend and to see a lot of the same problems im facing too. pain of loss and moving on isnt running away i guess. im similar to jyz in the fact that id rather not do it at all to not lose what i never had. i wish i didnt know my uncle, because i wouldnt feel this way but if i never knew him bow could i have loved someone so much and known him? wouldnt that bee a loss? isnt giving up and closing yourself off to force people to come to you because youre scared just as slefish? Dunno.
The show made me think a lot ans it was just perfect timing i guess. it didnt help me run away from my demons but it quelled them for a time and reminded me i could be better too.
Now as an artist with insane abandonment issues i can safely say that production mistakes were a plenty and most egregiously i would NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER be able to handle the level of stress of having someone that fucking left me back. That would destroy me, when JYZ was upset around him i was and all the signs were about a relaly oppressive difficult person but they introduced him too late. but ironically i saw the patterns of abuse i went/go through w my parents and my distrust meter skyrocketed and because aaron lai is a good actor, it extra hurt. he acted like a small child—the same feelings i was having at that exact week and i felt the force of it. I feel like that was a missed opportunity and i get why but this is what i mean about the feelings they were able to get down. The actors did legwork from the script to their delivery but it alsk means the script wasnt totally atrocious. Ok now im talking in circles.
This is kinda like to my star, a nice show, tranqhil, and sorrowful but eventually just hopeful. Maybe it’s the hopefulness and peace idk. I just wish my life was calm like that but again escapism abd then they hit u with the rela shit and u cant take it
And the little prince....st exupery was an anti fascist so thats good but the whimsy of that book and the beauty of continuing or...the prince knew he was heading first into something he may not make it out of but he did it because why not? Why not go to the fullest? Nothing is set in stone. The prince didn’t understand adults but he didnt have to. He was going through life searching and encountered hardships but still took the chance. He didnt run away.

VALID OPINION. The epilogues were filled with such unnecessary levels of dread and having everyone be generally unhappy. Like I get the moral being “Immortality Kinda Sucks” but there couldn’t have been any other direction for the story to go?
THANK U... and yes like i totally get sometimes life sucks, and obviously the homestuck characters went thru so much shit and dont get me wrong i love seeing struggles and seeing characters get thru ‘em but i also like seeing them grow and be happy, but like... the epilogues just seem like?? everyone is unhappy forever?
literally what i imagined any homestuck epilogue to be when homestuck ended was... idk the kids slowly rebuilding their world as well as their own selves and relationships, whether platonic or not. and yes its valid if some characters do struggle way more (john for example, as we already seen him show signs of struggling and his depression), but i would’ve expected at the very least ONE person to cope better and improve despite the odds, still struggle but still work to improve, because that takes effort. it gives hope. but no.... the epilogues is just.... everyone is unhappy. its never-ending. no catharsis of seeing any improvement... its such a far cry from the great character development in the original comic??
it reminds me of how the animorphs series where everyone grew up and yeah most of them couldn’t cope and were unhappy but. there was ONE person who moved on, even after all the hell they went thru, but that one character got help and struggled but pushed forward... idk i really wanted that for homestuck! i didnt want a adult drama, the homestuck epilogues just feel like a certain type of fanfic catered to a specific type of adult fan smh
there were so many ways a homestuck epilogue couldve gone but... it just ruined itself. i really just prefer the way the original homestuck comic ended

IS THAT WHO I THINK IT IS 
Tumblr media
ITS MY BOY ENYU!!!! ON THE FRONT PAGE???? okay also a big deal for zhaohao and li hao too!!!
ok now into part 2 of the ep
interesting that they focused on junhao for everybody. can understand he probably has the most different and struggle experience so probably more interesting for dramas sake lol im surprised they dont spend more time on shengen, considering his popularity. 
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA JUNHAO FREAKING OUT over the fact that they only learned the dance for 40 mins. LOL thats the level of tyger + kou cong + shengen, i can imagine the struggle of the yang guang nan hai group in comparison AHAHA i just imagine him running down the hall freaking out like HOW DID THEY LEARN THE DANCE IN JUST ONE CLASS WHAT ARE THESE PEOPLE 
lollll “theyre all dachang boys” “theyre all zhang yixing’s students” HAHAHAH you know even though he is slightly struggling compared to the rest, he aint bad and theyre all taking it light hearted with laughter so seems like a good learning environment! and he’s confident he’ll get it LOL thats good! i think thats what makes him so amusing 
HAHAHA i love how lin mo just keeps giggling at junhao like he genuinely just finds him so amusing LOL yay for making new friends 
awww bc junhao’s always been a leader i feel like for him to finally feel like hes being taken care of is so nice. i have absolute confidence that this group will treat him kindly. AW HE CALLED HIM MOMO 
im still disappointed they have YET to show zhan yu’s funny/strange personality and this wouldve been a great opportunity bc hes surrounded by friends he’s comfortable with!! like his friendship with kou cong! or akey and lin mo! but sigh...
THEY PUT ZHAN YU IN THE FRONT FOR THE SEXUAL LINE HAHAHHA PERFECT BUT I SEE LIN MO BEING ONE OF THE ONLY ONES NOT SHOWING HIS ABS HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAA
wow the lyrics are so fitting for lin mo to scream LOL but also ay his vocals?! aw im glad they put in a little rap for shengen and akey! honestly was kinda hoping for more bc they havent had a proper stage together before and i feel like itd be awesome but also junhao and zhan yu vocalization at the end was on point!!
lol all the kids being like zhang pd’s words are so detailed and professional... sigh theyve been missing out until now 
im glad they really pointed out how each member of this team did well! they really all did a great job with each of their parts, and they each got a little part to shine, and when put together, it was a complete performance. im proud of them and happy for them!
aw.... i feel like we’ve been waiting so long to hear lin mo get complimented.... i feel like it’s been since qcyn namanana that we’ve been waiting for him to redeem himself and climb back up to the peak. ugh its been nearly a year and a half. im just so terrified of whats gonna happen next bc im way too skeptical at this point to expect this high to continue, esp with what happened after namanana last time......... but for now, im happy. relieved hes finally getting the recognition he deserves and im happy that hes happy. lol i was also half scared we were gonna get spirit of the knight-ed again with his pink hair (nightmare flashbacks to lin mo and changxi’s deletion from that perf) i dont think ill ever get over that :( i feel like as a lin mo stan, ive been trained to not keep my hopes up and to prepare for the worst bc hes the type of person who just always gets the short end of the stick, it feels like. 
aw the part when they go back to the waiting room and jin fan is waiting for them with an encouraging smile and the whole exchange of "帥的真的帥的" "哇~可以吧" "我沒想到" "那必須的" our leader did them proud :’) 
ugh the part where luo jie calls them and tells them he can’t come back........ heart breaking. i can see why lin ran and xikan would be really affected. lin ran has been luo jie’s go-to since he left and knowing how their usual friendship involves making fun of one another and jokingly complaining about each other, it hits hard when lin ran says he cried his eyes out. it hurts that they didnt get to share the stage again before he left. xikan may not have shared the stage with luo jie during ip, but hes known him since then and has been with him through both rounds here. it interesting bc i feel like the namanana perf was very light hearted on qcyn but i cant see that happening here, esp with their outfits? 
aw shiwei and chaowen taking charge to raise their spirits :’) 
lin ran’s voice fits so well with this song wow! i really like his lines! also lol i didnt know xikan would have abs but okay and tbh im always hesitant about dances with props bc it always is so easy to look messy..... like every slight difference in angle in the way you hold your arms is immediately magnified 
and like sxl’s fan is obviously broken and having performed fan dances myself i know that that’s like the most annoying thing to happen on stage, and can be really difficult to deal with, even tho it happens ALL THE TIME with those types of fans ugh :( 
i mean its super kind of them to leave luo jie’s space empty for him, but its kinda weird to have parts of the audio missing sadly :( and also chaowen’s voice did something weird in the middle there, like its sounds weirdly weak 
wait didnt yixing tell them to close the fan? but they didnt? 
xikan’s facial expressions are perfecttt, good for him! wish they gave more screen time to shiwei during shiwei’s lines lol... but also i cant help but hear lin mo’s voice during that part LOL ugh speaking of which i miss that team dynamic namanana team a on qcyn HAHAHAH hwx being a brat and fjj running around wild and lin mo giving up on them all just laughing like idiots for hours on end while bo yuan just judges them from a corner LOL i love the beginning of the wenxuan and lin mo friendship good times :’)  
HAHAH ENYU AGAIN WITH THE REALEST COMMENTS - i agree AHHAHAH i love these kids too but there was something off about this stage 
im surprised but also not surprised by what the judges are saying 
o didnt realize sxl was supposed to be center but i guess that explains the big puffy thing on his shoulder lol.......... agree with cx tho, even without his broken fan, i think the fans made them look worse bc it just looked messy 
well idk if we’re getting all the stages today but at least jin fan’s is also getting aired! TYGER HUG FOR JIN FAN YESS
jin fan teaching them dance? yes thank you for showing us he is a good dancer. oof jin fan’s just too nice :( hes trying to avoid conflict too much that it caused conflict smh......... lol oscar trying to talk to su er hes having such struggle i feel that bro LOL hes doing really well though, tbh being relatively young, hes really trying his best and is being reasonable. 
LOL HE CALLED HIM JIN FAN GE i forgot jin fan is considered old lol..... jin fan really taking the higher road here and im glad they sat together and talked it out a bit
THE JIN FAN VOICE YESSSS hahahhaha kou cong holding the tyger sign!!
oo is that some of his bel canto-style singing coming through LOL 
AY NICE for hong weihao and oscar to put in some rap 
some of those high notes were a bit questionable at the end but okay jin fan is really claiming that vocal + dance teacher role i see.... interesting 
but agree with yixing that he doesnt need to force himself to do high notes bc his voice is so nice regardless!! yay for oscar getting recognition! im still waiting for jin fan to do a cool dance performance sigh
wasnt expecting an enyu feature BUT ILL TAKE IT 
oof huang enyu saying hes really trying to put himself out there by going for leader and the realest comment that he hasnt considered getting to debut he just wants to pass this round oof and he feels like his opportunities may be cut short bc hes getting old oof
enyu and chenxu crying watching the movie 
AW THEIR HAHA VIDEOS ARE THE CUTEST THING I LOVE THESE KIDSSS so sad that so many of them are at risk of elimination :(  im glad these vocals made their own friend group! I hope itll be a memory they carry forward. they do all have shared experiences as vocals on this show. 
this reaction to junrong’s voice
Tumblr media
same tho :’) but actually all of their voices are so so nice like actually these 5 are all people whose voices ive really listened for on this show, but wow renyu’s voice in particular like really ugh just sounds so pure 
also enyu looks really nice in this performance but thats a side note okay moving on
i mean literally these reactions
Tumblr media
and li hao crying while singing and so many kids in the waiting room crying while watching OOF this perf has got me emotional 
HAHAHHAHA THEIR INTROS HAHAHHA
UGH ENYU his plea just.... the way he yelled it bc it mustve taken courage and it mustve been a frustration on his mind for a while now and bc maybe he wouldve broken down if he hadnt yelled it out but im really crying now.... and its so out of character for him that you know he really really is feeling desperate and feels the need to speak out
lol wait gjm posted on weibo about him? is that why hes getting more attention lol..........
i really hope the vocals win :( 
no tygers in the next ep preview? hmmMMMMMmm okay 
well also interesting that they put the other 4 perfs with the elims...... seems sketch but at least most of my kids got to go this week ahhhhhh i feel bad for the other groups already. esp the ones with the kids who arent as popular...

Beneath (Ch. 10) https://duointherain.tumblr.com/post/186326980629/beneath-10
They’d been under the lake. Not deep enough for any kind of pressure concerns, but Heero was absolutely sure he’d have felt some kind of repercussion from the approach, however slow, of such a large vessel. He wasn’t even sure a vessel of this size could have fit in the lake, but then, he admitted, he wasn’t sure that it had.  
From Duo’s bubble, Heero had stepped into what seemed like an airlock to him, but it was long, well lit, and clean on some kind of storybook-movie kind of level, like things just weren’t like that in real life.
@sevdrag​

Summary: “Yo,” Duo greeted him, breezing past into Heero’s apartment. “Figured you’d be as out-of-sorts as I am. Probably more, really, cause I’m not the kinda guy who’s not gonna enjoy a few days on the D-L, you know, so I figured I’d come help you out.”
Heero and Duo are assigned mandatory leave after a slew of missions. Duo decides Heero needs some guidance as to how to enjoy it. Heero decides he needs to do something about Duo.

Some hot takes i've been having on the Part 5 Gang: Giorno - Maid of Life (Aries, Prospit - Arsci - The Medic), Bruno - ??? of Doom (Libra, Derse - Limini - The Abider), Abbacchio - Knight of Blood (Aries, Prospit - Arcer - The Officer), Mista - Heir of Hope (Sagittarius, Prospit - Saginius - The Believer), Narancia - Page of Rage (Taurus, Prospit - Tauricorn - The Gratified), Fugo - ??? of Rage (???, Derse - Sign Unknown), Trish - ??? of ??? (Gemini, Prospit - Gem??) Yeah... Thoughts?
EDIT: i just got informed that you choose the signs based on their birthdays fdjbur sorry i didnt notice, remember that i made this post thinking they were based on their personality
Oooo nice more jojostuck.. so first of all i have never thought about the gang as trolls so my ideas about their blood colours are kinda baseless lmao i may think about them more in the future
Giorno: Maid of life 10/10 agree hehe (even though i can also see him as a maid of hope i think life fits him better) As for prospit, I also agree with that. I think id see giorno more as a Blue sign though and thats because "They have the potential to do the most good, but also cause the worse harm." As we see, Giorno's goal is to take control of Passione to make the most good. His ideals are noble but he isnt afraid to lie or cause harm (ESPECIALLY during Cioccolata's fight). Also i think that "They are magnetic and adaptive, able to adjust how they present themselves in any situation." and "They are powerful and successful, but they also tend toward jealousy. They often resent those they see as more well-positioned than they are." fits him a lot especially about his position in the mafia. The Rust sign description says "This dynamism makes them great leaders, but it can also make them foolhardy." which fits him too but i think that "Rust Signs make great friends and traveling companions, but they also can be selfish and quick to anger. If what they deem to be an acceptable level of "excitement" isn't happening around them, they have a tendency to try to stir some up. They love the drama" isnt too much of Giorno hdjs but feel free to tell me more about this!!
Bruno: oh you know he IS a Teal sign.. the description fits him perfectly "Right and wrong are very obvious to a Teal Sign, and it can frustrate them that others don't see the world the same way they do. Their idealism can make them strong defenders of justice, but it can also result in them being incredibly let down." O god thats him!!! I see him more as a Prospit dreamer though because i think he is more focused on the present than on the past/future and because i believe hes more of a "i do as i feel" person than "i do as i think" (for ex: deciding to protect Trish and becoming a traitor, protecting Abba even though it would cause harm in the Zucchero fight) Lastly, idk about doom! "The Doom-bound won't fix you; they aren't healers. They are commiserators, aware that sometimes the only thing you can do for a person is let them know that they are not alone in their suffering." I think Bruno tries to fix the others' problems, for ex just giving them a new life in Passione or helping them get off the streets/prison. I also see him as a sylph because i believe he is the one who "creates" for others. Creating them hope, a new chance, an opportunity to become another better person. So yea!
Ok um getting tired of writing a deep analysis for them all so sshdh yea id really like to know why you choose Hope for Mista and Rage for Nara... i can see why you chose Heir and Page but id love to hear more about their aspects! As for their blood, Indigo fits Mista a lot, i can also see him as Olive but i cant choose. For Narancia i think Bronze is very fitting!
Abbas classpect makes lots of sense.. i kinda see him as a Purple Blood but im not sure so idk
You can see my takes in the jojostuck tag on my blog ifjs but i think Fugo could be a Gold Blood and Trish could be Lime but im not sure.
Your takes are very interesting dude 🤔🤔 i really like them! Thank you for sharing with me
