[inuitakumi]

mister clive final fantasy xvi....

[sukugo]

gonna elaborate bc this has been plaguing my brain for days and im having a lot of fun with it

the first and 2nd yrs join up to make the activity as there's... literally not enough students in this school what is this even

they decide on a (boys) maid cafe, where they boys are the ones who are the maids while the girls (literally just nobamaki lmao) cook

there was resistance at first. given yuuji is the best cook out of them so people thought it best to have him as chef

but then they realized that would mean no maid yuuji, so the idea was immediately discarded, thrown right into the fire.

so for the maids we have: yuuji, megumi, inumaki, okkotsu, and panda

and ofc. gojo

bc he wasn't gonna not join in on the action

as for the customers, girl idfk who they are or would be, i also do not care. i dont even know where this would be taking place. look i just want maids. the customers could be just random people, or sorcerers or just people that work in the school. plus we could bring in like the kyoto jujutsu high peeps to enjoy. whatever. there's customers. somehow.

anyways. yuuji is perfect. he is the perfect maid. not a single more perfect maid than that boy. he's sweet he's cute he's everything u could ever want

gojo SUCKS. he is the most atrocious maid to ever exist.

he does NOT know how to serve customers or the proper way to talk to them and keeps cursing at them. this man would not last a minute in any service job

but, while gojo may make for an atrocious waiter, unfortunately, he makes for a gorgeous maid, so they can't do anything about him

gojo's skirt may be a bit too short on him (he's too tall, legs too long 😔) but no one's complaining

OH, nanami joins the party (as a diner) and he is. suffering.

bc as soon as he goes in, he's greeted by gojo who seats him at a table and then proceeds to be. well. gojo

but, that's fine, he's used to it. what's not fine is YUUJI, as soon as he sees nanami, rushes to his table with the biggest grin on his face to take his order.

bc the boy has decided that he WILL be the one to serve nanami. and now, there's nothing wrong with that, he appreciates that yuuji is happy to see him and enjoys his presence

but kento does not think that a yuuji (not to mention a gojo too) in a maid outfit is good for his sanity (his dick)

alas, nanami simply has to live with the objects of his sexual desires in maid outfits serving him

yaga arrives with gakuganji. gojo immediately rushes to the door and pushes panda out the way to greet them personally. he seats them and takes their order, and refuses to let anyone else serve them. they're his.

both principals refuse eye contact throughout the entire meal.

gojo gets his skirt lifted by someone to reveal cute lil panties underneath, seen by Everyone in the room

gojo also gets his ass smacked

(was it a diner? was it megumi? who knows) (it was megumi, yuuji saw)

gojo gets his skirt lifted again.

and again.

and again.

and his ass grabbed. multiple times

gojo leans on yuuta and whines about all the sexual harassment poor lil him is receiving 😔 and yuuta just gives him a small nervous chuckle bc inside he's just thinking about how he wants to grab sensei's ass too...😔 (do it yuuta don't let ur dreams be dreams)

yuuji gets a small break, so he takes a seat on one of the tables. gojo passes by him and stands next to the table while he's busy doing something

but then gojo suddenly feels a hand under his skirt trailing along his thighs, squeezing along his ass, and pushing his underwear aside, so he takes a look back and that's when he realizes. sukuna has taken over yuuji.

and he's grinning. staring directly at gojo, his hands not leaving his ass as they keep fondling him, fingers reaching below his panties and pressing at his hole.

and oh. oh. gojo feels his body tingling. he's being challenged. a grin splits his own face.

"what? are you not gonna take my order? are you not supposed to serve me?" another squeeze.

gojo finally turns around and brings himself to stand in front of sukuna putting himself in the space between his legs. their eyes locked on each others', a burst of electricity runs between them.

everyone suddenly feels the entire room get hotter

needless to say, the two have to be separated before they start fucking right there on the table.

wish jujutsu high were.... well.. not like THAT and had more than 10 students so we could have the School Festival Episode in which every class does their lil stand/activity, where yuuji and the gang decide to do a maid café and all dress up as maids, and gojo, being gojo, joins the students as a maid. yes this is just because i want to see maid gojo get his skirt lifted and groped by random people

[millimononym]

Galactik football x Homestuck AU type thing

well, more like me troll-ificating the Snow Kids. I only drew headshots because i couldn't figure out the shirt designs as you'll see

explaining the important HS lore for this AU:

-in HS, there is an alien species called Trolls who live on a planet called Alternia. Alternia is a violent shithole where everyone is seperated with their place in society being decided by their blood color-there are 12 and they're based on zodiac signs

(Lowblood castes,the extinct limebloods who are considered a mutation now due to rarity, midbloods, highbloods and the 2nd highest blood caste is seadweller royalty, and the top blood caste only consisting of the queen),

-and the queen wants to take over as many worlds as possible to add to the empire

°for the purpose of this au, just like the GF novelization claims (it isn't canon but it's better than nothing) that the humans came to the Zaelion Galaxy out of nowhere and settled on Akillian, the same happened here but with a group of trolls. The bitch ass queen isn't a thing anymore(probably got defeated) because the Alternian empire would obviously want to take over the Zaelion Galaxy if she was alive.

°blood color also isn't as important anymore because well...obviously. let's assume that most of the trolls that somehow came to the Zaelion Galaxy were a progressive bunch. There's still a monarchy lead by a queen and vague aristocracy but that's about it.

-in HS depending on which caste they are, the troll may have a power. The bottom 3 lowbloods(rust,bronze and gold) all have psychic abilities, the extinct limebloods had something about them that had the queen wanting them dead, the olivebloods are generally lucky and the higher up you go on the spectrum, you don't have abilities but you do get a resistance to them. Unless you have a mutation that gives you psychic abilities

°this still applies in the AU, however it is not considered a flux. My reasoning for this is that only certain members of the species have it so it doesn't apply. And also some members of the flux society clearly have psychic powers but flux use is illegal sooo? And as well,i consider the flux to be like the bending from Avatar. It's not genetic,spiritual or physical but some secret 4th thing. The GF novelization even states that no one knows where flux comes from so they still get the breath of Akillian! (but not for long because WHOOPS there goes the glaciation!)

-in HS on Alternia, there are no adults. The baby grubs (because yes the trolls sre insects) are taken care of by animals called lusii until they are old enough to become the animals' caretaker themselves. Obviously traumatic and not very effective method of raising well adjusted members of a healthy society

°so in this AU they developed past the point of abandoning children to be taken care of by animals and the adults actually parent.

°the reason why all of the names in the pic are 6 letters is because all of the trolls in HS have 6 letter names. I couldn't bother with Tia so let's just say its a shortened nickname. Sinedd and Rocket are the only ones with valid troll names which once again proves they are the edgiest

DESIGN explanations:

-i picked the blood color/zodiac based purely on vibes because we don't know the SK birthdays and most of them are spot on in my opinion. Except Ahito and Thran who didn't really fit anywhere so i just picked indigo bc blue color. Also i wanted to make Rocket a goldblood(gemini) because of the whole duality aspect between s1 and 2 but since i was drawing on paper and so focused on the horns i forgot literally ALL OF THE GOLDBLOOD DESIGN ELEMENTS. so i changed him to a jadeblood and lo and behold it fits better as well

-the horns are based mostly on shirt designs and jersey numbers(rockets' is the netherball one) with the exception of Mei and Micro ice. I had no idea what to do with them so i just. Drew some shit

-i made Mei a purpleblood purely because they all wear clown makeup. Still makeup nonetheless

-all of the trolls have black hair so anyone here that doesn't dyes it

-all of the trolls wear their zodiac or extended zodiac symbol on their clothes, but i really, really could not be bothered to figure out which one all of these people are. So i just drew headshots. I thought of taking the extended zodiac quiz answering the questions as i think each of the characters would based on the color i chose for them but that would take WAAY too long. Feel free to do it urself if u want

-i thought it would be cool if the horns could be utilized more in the design, so i made a version where the characters painted their horns their football teams' color before a match! Could have picked the shadows colors better but whatever

i used a guide to touch up the designs after i already drew them on paper and the HS wiki to check out if my blood color takes were correct.

The sinedd and ugly mei up top were drawn in school

asdklasjdlsks maximum late trip update post bc i completely forgot about it in my drafts. 💀 i was too occupied with grinding mapes events for cosmetic items aha.

better late than never i guess??

anyway, here's my long-awaited post about my short 5D4N trip in taiwan with luwi and shoron!! i decided to condense all five days into one post this time bc i didn't take a lot of good pics. :/

DAY 1: TAIPEI

nanjichang night market (南機場夜市) - highly recommended!!!

sumikko gurashi themed 7-ELEVEN (角落小夥伴主題商店)

first thing we did when we landed was to run to a 7-ELEVEN to grab a small bite. i got a strawberry cream sandwich with a mixed fruit/vegetable juice and the sandwich was so tasty... nothing special but so homely. we also picked up an easycard so that we could ride the mrt and omg the designs were all so cute?? why can't we have cute transport passes in sg too!!

after checking into our hostel, we went to nanjichang night market for dinner. i was told that this was the night market that locals would go to, and to avoid shilin night market bc it was more of a tourist attraction/trap?? no regrets tho. the food was great and so affordable. i got deep fried squid (coated with some kind of peppery and salty seasoning powder and spoilers: pretty sure all the fried stuff i ate in taiwan had the same seasoning LOL), shrimp dumplings, and a fermented vegetable baked pepper bun. waaa,, even though i ordered a shrimp dumpling, there was meat in it!! and i cannot handle the taste of meat in taiwan. it's too strong...

i also got an osmanthus tea from one of the bbt stalls there and it was the best bbt i had in taiwan?? unfortunately i didn't catch the name of the stall but there was a catto sitting on the counter!!

ended our day with a trip to the sumikko gurashi 7-ELEVEN. the decor was so cute!! i was hoping there'd be some exclusive merch being sold but there weren't any. idk why but i was determined to find some merch and i kept going into every 7-ELEVEN that was in my sights LMAO spoilers i didn't find any exclusive merch in the end. disappoint :-(

thoughts about the accommodation:

we stayed at the beimen wow poshtel for most of the days. it was reasonably close to the taipei main station and super affordable (~$20 per night) but idk it was giving me major School Camp flashbacks. we got the top bunks so every time we forgot something on the bed, we had to climb up the ladder to get it. it was inconvenient and i found out that i'm terrible at going down ladders bc i just jump off from the highest rung of the ladder and i gave myself quite a few bruises from that.

the rooms were also very tiny. we couldn't all have our luggages open at the same time so we'd go down to the communal area in the basement every day just to move things around. i wouldn't say that this was a massive con bc we got used to this arrangement rly fast. the real bAD THING is that we can't leave our things lying around in the room without locking them up in the lockers (also very smol). i have to clean and dry all my toiletries every day before i go to bed and before i leave. one time i accidentally left my clean clothes bag out and i woke up to find a single dirty sock inside. >:/

but other than that it felt pretty safe?? and i did enjoy our nightly hangouts at the communal area for supper or to plan our next-day activities.

would like to try out a capsule hotel next time tho. like one of those space pod thingies.

.

DAY 2: SHIFEN AND JIUFEN

shifen old streets

shifen waterfall

jiufen old streets

zhang ji traditional fishballs

a gan yi taro ball - it's nice but nothing special?? if the queue is too long then don't bother with it

jioufen teahouse - the queue for the famous a-mei teahouse was insane so we decided to try another teahouse

we spent the second day at shifen and jiufen!! took a train to shifen in the morning. walked along the streets and got some street food for lunch. i got brown sugar mochi paw-shaped pancake pops from a stall and i personally wouldn't recommend that flavour bc it was so dry. we also ate some taiwanese-style takoyaki. i watched luwi and shoron make their sky lantern (i couldn't do it bc it's ghost month and my mum said no :/) and release it into the sky. luwi added some good wishes for chi. stay 白 uwu

after walking around for a bit, we ran out of things to do and still had plenty of time to spare so we decided to rent electric scooters to see the shifen waterfall. i was shooketh that they didn't require any license?? and the shop didn't provide any helmets or safety gear?? so sus... i didn't dare to ride one of my own so i pillion'ed behind luwi.

the waterfall was a distance away from the parking lot and so the rest of our journey had to be on foot. i was sweating so much and thought i was gonna hallucinate from the heat and strong sun rays. somehow we made it to the viewing deck. i was expecting to be a lot closer to the waterfall but eh the view was pretty nonetheless. got chi and cha out so they could take in the sights too!!

we went through another round of suffering to get back to the parking lot and i, after seeing shoron ride the scooter so breezily on the way there from the old streets, decided to try riding one for the funsies. despite having barely any bicycle experience. as you would expect, that was Not A Good Idea bc i didn't even move 3 metres when i lost control, panicked, revved the accelerator thinking it was the brake (both were on the handles so idk i'm not a driver), went up the curb and fell over. ok but i fell off on purpose bc i thought the scooter was moving on its own (and not bc i mixed up the brake and accelerator) and my only way of survival was to just get off the bike before i crash into something or something crashed into me. surprisingly the only injuries i sustained were some bruises on my upper thigh that i landed on, and pinpoint scratches on my hand that i got from breaking my fall. i was very lucky that nothing was broken or bleeding. well, that was An Experience...... that i wouldn't want to go through again. anyway i'm banned from driving after this~~~

↓ btw this photo was taken moments before the disaster. apparently a lot of foreigners who rented scooters there also crashed their bikes. now that i look at it, our scooter had a chunk of it broken off at the front. ummm,,, what is safety

our next stop was jiufen!! jiufen was sooo scenic and beautiful with all the lanterns and slopes but climbing up and down all those narrow and steep stairs just to get to the main street was just deaTH. 💀 i have no idea how the elderly can do it.

had an early dinner at the zhang ji traditional fishballs. got a mixed fishballs noodle soup and it was so tasty!! i actually like the handmade fishballs with meat inside. they were sweet.

when it got dark, we visited one of the teahouses there to have a tea experience. the staff taught us how to brew the tea and we did the rest ourselves after that. it was fun!! we also ordered an oolong tea cheesecake to share and it was definitely more cheesecake than oolong but i'm not complaining.

we stayed at the jiufen kite museum for a night and i was so glad to finally have a room to ourselves. it was a good thing we didn't bring our luggages with us bc there were no elevators there!! it was all just stairs.

.

.

.

DAY 3: JIUFEN AND BACK TO TAIPEI

jioufen breakfast restaurant

D+AF女鞋 南西旗艦店 - super nice and trendy shoes!!

kura sushi

ximending

the nighttime view in jiufen was amazing with all the lanterns lit up but bc it was so crowded and you absolutely could not get a shot without someone blocking the view, we decided to come back the next day at 6 am just to take pics. and also to eat a traditional taiwanese breakfast!! i love the soy milk and youtiao combination. 💕

when we were back at the taipei main station, i chanced upon this bakery (semeur 聖娜) that was holding a kanahei's small animals collab?? if you spend a certain amount, you can buy merch at a cheaper price. so ofc i picked out four breads just so i could get a cute cooler bag with usagi and piske on it~ kinda regretted not getting the handheld fan too. it would've been so useful bc it was sO HOT. btw i ended up bringing one bread back to singapore (take note of this info for later) bc i couldn't finish all of them LMAO. the breads were all tasty but i particularly liked the melon bun.

day 3 was our Buy The Things We Have To Buy day. luwi went to check out a motorcycle gear shop by herself while shoron and i explored the zhongshan area. i got the $370 wall clock that my colleague rly wanted from a department store there. we also went to this shoe shop that shoron wanted to check out and like,, i wasn't planning on buying any shoes but man,,, they were all so nice. you can call them clown shoes for all you like but i just rly like the wide, squarish toe box designs. i only bought a pair in the end but aaa i would've liked to get more if i didn't have space/weight concerns.

bought osmanthus oolong tea from yi pin tea (一品茶苑) and it was mid. very strong tea flavour tho.

we had kura sushi for lunch and it was amazing. the gacha system was fun and the food was great and i got to eat my beloved taiyaki for dessert. it was cheaper than any sushi place in sg too.

my stomach was acting up when we went to ximending in the evening so i didn't get anything to eat or drink there but i did try a bit of the vermicelli noodles from ay-chung flour-rice noodle and it was pretty good. peppery and kinda tastes like shark fin soup. aside from food, we didn't rly check out any of the shops there. i did go to a stationary store on my own and it was a feast for the eyes!!

.

DAY 4:

wei chuan pushin ranch - there were capybaras and alpacas!! first time seeing them in person

mazesoba restaurant (東京油組總本店 台北華山組)

1789 café pâtisserie

zhongxiao dunhua shopping district (Air Space, Le Gusta, The Ladywore)

kanahei's small animals themed 7-ELEVEN (卡娜赫拉主題商店)

li yuan dumpling restaurant

braved the scorching heat for the alpacas and sheep and capybaras!! i touched an alpaca and a capybara for the first time and i can confirm that the former was floofy like a cloud while the latter felt like bristles of a broom.

the pig race and sheep race were being held when we were there so we got to watch. the ones that i bet on didn't win.

bc the ranch was located in a more rural part of taipei and buses were infrequent, we only had two?? hours to look around. so we rented some kind of a buggy. shoron was the designated driver for this bUT i felt like i could drive it too cuz it was kinda slow yknow.

for lunch we had mazesoba!! super good but could do with less salt.

afterwards we went on a hunt for a cafe to chill at bc it was raining so hard. had to give matcha one a miss bc we didn't have a reservation and there were no tables for us (except the VIP rooms which were $$$). eventually we found this cafe called 1789 café pâtisserie that was relatively empty and hid there until the rain subsided. we shared two eclairs (salted caramel and mango passionfruit) and a raspberry rose st. honore (crispy mille feuille pastry topped with whipped cream and raspberry jam??). they gave us two macarons on the house, and one of them was wasabi-flavoured. the taste was... interesting.

when the rain stopped, we went to shop for clothes around the zhongxiao dunhua shopping district. there were a lot of blogshop-like clothing stores in that area. i got clothes from le gusta and the ladywore~

our last dinner was at a xiaolongbao restaurant. i was glad that they had prawn xiaolongbaos!! that didn't have surprise meat in them. they were not bad. also got a custard panda bun for dessert~

.

.

.

DAY 5:

luwi and shoron went out to dabao breakfast at yong he soy milk (永和豆漿) in ximending while i continued to laze around in bed~~~ they brought soy milk and youtiao back for me!! i miss the combination. the youtiao from yong he was so light and airy on the inside and so crisp on the outside aaaa the doughy and oily ones in sg can't compare.

after breakfast we packed up and left for the airport. i wanted to try the oden at 7-ELEVEN before i leave but we couldn't find one at the departure hall. maximum sadge. in the end, we settled for a fast-food chicken place after we checked in and i got a yoghurt green tea (which tasted like yakult btw) and sweet potato fries.

i wanted to be productive on the flight back home (and i wasn't rly that sleepy anyway) so i played 999 on my 3ds and watched a 2-hour movie. finally watched maquia and it made me cry lmao. tearjerkers are the best kinds of movies for a flight imo!!

oh oh i sat next to an elderly couple on the plane and they were so nice and friendly. the lady kept checking to see if i needed to use the toilet bc i got the window seat. 🥺 we also chatted a bit while waiting to get off the plane.

we were planning to have dinner at mos burg after we landed in sg but there was a luggage delay and by the time we all got our luggages, it was almost time for mos burg to close. aha but fortunately i still had one bread left. so that was my dinner, along with the milo and oreos that the staffs were handing out to apologise for the delay.

[silvertsundere]

Silver Talks AniManga (07/05/23)

jump is finally back baby let's go!!! next week marks the last week of this serialization round but very much looking forward to the tall girl

ended up not watching more anime like I said I would last week, there were still 4 more I wanted to check out, but currently watching 5 airing which I think is pretty good considering I hadn't watched anything in almost 4 years, plus all those other shows I wanted to check out are all manga adaptations so I'm putting no hope in them being fully adapted so I don't feel as bad putting them aside

I want to catch up on another manga next but, after that, I want to go through my "watching" list and clean it up of stuff that's been left hanging there for these years, and then make my way through stuff I wanted to see from seasons I missed in that time ANYWAY

blue - finale/completed green - new series/new to me

Anime

Uma Musume - Road to the Top Ep4 (Finale)

what can I say that I haven't already. I love it obviously. I rate things on my mal for personal enjoyment but I usually have a "real" rating for it (like I did for jigokuraku not that long ago), but I can't do it in this case, horses just got too much power over me. I think I teared up in all 4 episodes (maybe not 1 but). it's good, period. the art is good, the animation isn't that special most of the time, but it has a lot of little character acting moments that hit really good, and let's not forget that maenami cut I was gushing about. the music isn't memorable but it served it's purpose, and the voice acting was really good ofc, I especially loved tokui sora's performance as opera, it's nice to see her getting to flex her range instead of always being yazawa nico, but ofc ayabe and topro were really good too. anyway really good, left me really hungry for S3 coming later this year tho I still have to go and watch S2 and even finish S1 tehe

Megumin Ep5

honestly this ep felt a lot like a finale, tho there's still 7 more left anyway the explosion scene was pretty cool also megumin x yunyun is quite good, good to see they'll keep feeding me since they'll be goofing around together for a bit longer

Imas CG: U149 Ep5

good episode (ofc), was wondering where they'd take it with risa being such a daddy's girl but she surprised me also the insert song was beyond the starlight (deresute's 1st anni song) so I was losing my gourd as soond as I heard the first couple notes god bless

Mashle Ep5

decent episode, dot's explosion magic looked decent enough, tho speaking of him I didn't expect him to sound like this at ALL, I thought it was gonna be something more high pitched like bakugou. also they teased the lang baddies, which is when this starts shifting more into an action series with a sprinkle of comedy instead of the opposite, which is nice, even if they're all over the op lol

Pokemon Horizons Ep5

nice little ep, the roy scene before this pic was cute. next ep should be more exciting, including the appearance of a brand new mon, like riko's pendant turtle from before

Jigokuraku Ep6

good episode, was really nice to finally see sagiri's first time to shine, and now they're finally at the village, I forgot about the rokurouta fight so I thought they were getting here earlier tehe. it also ended on the gay sex scene so that was very nice I figured the village was gonna be the cliffhanger but that's a really good one too, they really went IN on animating the tongue-fu, anyway curious to see who'll voice mei, she's very cute

Manga

Do Retry Ch1

that line in the pic below is the title of the one shot for this btw anyway. nice first chapter, the art is really striking with it's thick outlines which makes sense since the author was an assistant to matsui too. it's also a period piece which would be funny if it was cause of matsui too. good solid first chap, no complaints for me, did it's job of setting up the story, the main character and his motivations without getting too distracted with other things. we haven't had a sports manga in a while (I don't count blue box as one) so we'll see how long it'll stay around, or how sportsy it'll be in the first place lol

Dandadan Ch104

the vamola backstory continues, I thought this was gonna be the last ch but I guess not. it's been decent tho it could've been shorter imo

Show-ha Shoten! Ch18

VERY good chap, one of the best so far tbh, it's nice to see azemichi making a stand for himself, even if he's stumbling a bit. next chap should be pretty exciting but waiting a whole month is painful

One Punch Man Ch181

just an aftermath chap of the saitama tatsu fight, not really much going on. however I did read the jp raws for the next chap and it has a buncha cute tatsumakis so that's very good

Pension Life Vampire Ch4 - 5

apparently I completely missed ch4 OOPS. anyway, cute chaps like usual, going even more in on the yuri cause of this new girl here. it's nice that eri's moving in, opens the door for a lot more Situations

Tokyo Underworld Ch39

ok chap tho not much happened, the action was p dece but that's about it. the ending cliffhanger is something tho

The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins Ch23

another eh... chap, they show him waking up but considering the previous pages it's gotta be not real right? anyway it needs to hurry up and end already, feels like it's just dragging on on purpose now

Fabricant 100 Ch20

the final battle is finally here, not much more left now, prob just enough to finish filling a vol

Witch Watch Ch107

GREAT chap, I didn't expect them to continue straight from the last one, much less to go this far right away, very excited to see what happens next week with that ending

Kill Blue Ch3

nice chap overall, not much to say, good to see we'll have some more action next week too

Blue Box Ch99

TAIKI MY BOY they grow up so fast 😢, I was already hyped for ch100 but with them dropping this right at the end I'm even more pogged up now holy

Cipher Academy Ch22

as much as I like cipher this felt a lot like a final chap, and it's been doing badly in ratings lately, so there's probably no hope of it making a comeback like medaka did back in the day it's sad that jump readers can't appreciate nisio's work and we get things like roboco running for a billion years instead sigh

Mashle Ch154

good chap, had that good balance of action and comedy that mashle is really good at, still gonna be a handful more chaps of the final boss

Tenmaku Cinema Ch4

nice chap, it's always nice to see someone's passion for something be apparent in their work like it has been in tenmaku

Undead Unluck Ch157

nice chap, like I said last time it's good that not everything is going according to fuuko's plan and seeing her struggle and overcome these unexpected situations is good. looking forward to the (possible) addition of a milf to the cast

Sakamoto Days Ch117

good to see them learning from sakamoto's example tho this being a flashback arc is annoying cause we know rion dies so every time something happens I'm just expecting it to be now argh

The Elusive Samurai Ch108

very good chap, good to see tokiyuki make up with yorishige after that argument a couple chaps ago and in such a meaningful way too also the colour page is beautiful but I'll put it on it's own post

Akane-banashi Ch60

good chap as usual, I've been waiting a long time for the dad to come back into the fray since he's such a big deal for akane's whole character, excited to see where this goes and her growth from it

Ayakashi Triangle Ch129

good chap, especially with those plot complications at the end making things not as simple as they seemed at first

[rarepears]

Gasp! The OnlyFans AU! I just had a thought! So, in a lot of fics, I see that YQY and SJ are basically SY's brothers in another life. So if we apply that here... if SJ was so startled to see someone crash land in his backyard, and somehow, forgot about his camera being on and he tried to check on LQG and flashed a side view of his face, would SY's brother start getting weird messages from randos or a freaked out visit from SY who ultimately doesn't say anything about this (SY is also YQY'S brother, so some bad habits are passed along) so when someone off the street or in a Serious Meeting suddenly blurts out a question that they obviously didn't mean to say to the Shen Family's Second Son about whether he has an OnlyFans streaming, not paying, account.

So now SJ has to try to tell everyone that he doesn't stream videos when his side profile /perfectly/ matches and maybe YQY takes a look to see why people keep insisting his little brother is an OnlyFans streamer. THAT IS HIS BROTHERS FACE WTF! And on some of the pics/vids, when his ankle is displayed, maybe he has a little beauty mark. Just. Like. His. Brother. Cue YQY losing his mind and desperately trying to find out if SJ somehow, with their insanely wealthy family, needs money. Even in another world, YQY assumes the worst. This time, SJ didn't even do anything! Nothing that could be misconstrued. Except for himself in another world, pandering to foot fetishists.

Meanwhile, in another world, SJ cannot get rid of this cultivator who insists on taking responsibility when HE'S the one who barged onto private property and started yelling about impropriety when he woke up before randomly proposing???

P.S. did tumblr eat my ask about Hibari being LXC's twin AU? Or did it not spark joy?

Omfg what a twist o.o

Hm, would Shen Yuan be able to recognize that face as his er-ge if the guy is wearing long hair and has more delicate facial features - lets say it's because of the lack of nutrients and insert some other bullshit xianxia explanations about being a Yin cultivator - coupled with the very different "personality" being shown? Maybe Shen Yuan might take rapid fire screenshots because the "girl" is so pretty" and then he accidentally sends the pics to the wrong number... ahaha I TOTALLY DID NOT MEAN TO SEND IT TO YOU DA-GE, IT'S SUPPOSED TO GO TO MEI MEI DELETE DELETE DELETE.

Too late. The messages already show "read" from da-ge. Damnit.

I guess the most reasonable explanation is that er-ge just has a look-alike. It's common enough -  scientists believe every person has roughly SIX doppelgangers out there. But it's still a fun thing to tease er-ge about.

However, now... if da-ge is feeling a little tired or he finds some free time... well... why not watch his didi's doppelganger having tea and being happy in a picturesque meadow on Onlyfans? Ahem, it's a bit awkward site to go to when his reasons for watching are perfect innocuous, but well, *insert shrug*.

More in the #shen jiu gets a thirsty onlyfans system so he never goes to cang qiong au

Thanks to that picture from random, I want a minific of Rintaro somehow walking around naked because he came from the bathroom and forgot to put a towel on

That pic was actually from a trailer of Beyond Generations... And Rintaro did have a towel on... he just accidentally dropped it. In front of Sophia.

Good grief Rintaro *shakes head* How do we expect him to get his shit together and confess to Mei when he can't even keep a towel around his waist

Rintaro sank into the warmth of the water, the tension in his back and shoulders relaxing after a long, gruelling day. He sighed in relief as the tight muscles started to loosen from the heat and the special powder that he'd put in with the bathwater.

Perhaps I shouldn't have been so eager in assisting Daishinji-san and Ryouga-san in the archives, he thought wryly. Being hunched over a bunch of books all day long did not do him any favors at all. No amount of stretching and self-massage afterward had helped, either.

He was so tired, his eyes strained from squinting at ancient texts and tomes that he felt himself starting to drift off. He yawned, his eyes slipping closed. I should stay up, Mei and Kento are getting home soon... But... Maybe a few minutes wouldn't hurt...

"IIIIIIIYAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

His lover's loud scream jolted Rintaro awake, and he scrambled out of the bath without mind to his body's complaints. He nearly ripped the bathroom door off its hinges and almost slipped on the floor in his haste to get to his beloved's side before harm could befall them.

"Touma! What is happening-"

He stopped in his tracks when he saw the six-foot-tall man standing on a chair, broom in hand, trying to smash down on a spider scuttling about with his eyes closed. "What's... going on...?" Rintaro asked, confused.

"I hate spiders!" Touma exclaimed, still blindly swatting at the thing. "They're so yucky! Save me, Rintaro!"

This man... A Kamen Rider, and yet so scared of such a little thing, he mused. Rintaro chuckled, crouching down to let the little bug crawl into his hand, before going to the window and letting it go into the planter hanging there before shutting it firmly. "There, it's gone, Touma. You can open your eyes now."

"Oh thank god, you're a real lifesaver Rin-" Touma said, then yelped, falling off the chair he was standing on.

"Touma! Are you alright?" Rintaro asked, going over to help him sit up. Why is he looking at me so oddly...?

"Am I- Rintaro, where the heck are your clothes?!"

"My clothes?" Rintaro wondered aloud. "I was taking a bath, why would I be clothed?"

"...Rintaro, you're not in the bath right now," Touma pointed out. "Didn't you grab a towel before you-"

"I'm hooooo-OH MY GOD." Mei's greeting turned into a surprised squeak at the sight of Rintaro.

"...Rintaro? Why are you naked in the middle of our living room?" Kento questioned.

"...It's a long story."

Hi!! Can you maybe do A black butler one of sebastian, grelle and undertaker (seperately) with a S/O who's like a ghoul (like from tokyo ghoul?)

Hey!~ Thanks for the request! I tried my best and to make it long but at the end I couldn‘t... I am so sorry ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡ The thing is... I read Tokyo Ghoul, but it is so long ago that I forgot everything like everything except for a few characters...? So I had to read through the tokyo ghoul wiki about ghouls a few times and i hope that I did it alright... I am so sorry, if it isn‘t good! Really! Forgive me! (´༎ຶོρ༎ຶོ`)

warning: cannibalism!

Requests: [still open~]

(I will edit it later for the pics...)

😈 You were a dream team and a power couple!

😈 At first Sebastian thought that you were a normal human being, until the day he saw you eating a human! He was surprised, but got interested in you.

😈 “Oh my… You are not a human, dear (y/n)? Might you be a ghoul?” And he was right.

😈 You figured it out too, that he was a demon. I mean… No body is perfect and Sebastian just seems like a perfect man. That’s soooo not normal!

😈 You two protect Ciel and each other all the time, for you are just a mere maid/butler to the young lord.

😈 Whenever you are getting hungry, Sebastian brings you something to eat!~ (humans and sometimes ghouls…)

😈 You two kill your Ciel’s enemies faster than light.

😈 The young lord is disgusted by ghouls, which is why you aren’t alone with him in a room, but whenever Sebastian is nearby, Ciel won’t get nervous. Who wouldn’t be nervous around somebody who might kill and eat you?

😈 The entire household thinks of you as a normal perfect human, just like Sebastian, which is why they ship you two so much! (Even Mey-Rin! Sure, she is a little jealous, but she sees you as her friend and knows, that you two belong together!)

😈 Unfortunately Grell is not so supportive of your relationship. He always tries to kill you, but Sebastian has your back, even though you can protect yourself!

😈 You two are just the greatest demon butler x ghoul maid/butler couple ever!

👠 How comes that Grell isn’t interested in Sebastian anymore…? Good question, my dear! Grell fell for you the first time the grim reaper had lied their eyes on you! You just looked so super strong, perfect and the kick he received from you, when Grell accidently surprised you, …. It was like a love confession for the grim reaper!

👠 “My deaaaar!~ Are you hungry?~” You hear behind you the voice of your beloved.

👠 Grell will always be there for you. Giving you the corpses Grell finds thanks of the redhead’s work.

👠 Some might think, that a grim reaper and a ghoul would never get along, because a ghoul might eat the human faster than the grim reaper could get its soul, but Grell is very happy to have you by their side!

👠 You even help him with his job, because of your great senses and nose. You always know whenever somebody is going to bleed out.

👠 Grell will always hug you, whenever you eat your food. It might be bloody, but Grell won’t care, as long as you are by Grell’s side. The poor long-haired Sutcliff needs to go to work every day and will always be super happy to see you!

⚰️ “Ohhh, don’t worry!~ They won’t take a look into the coffin! Feel free to eat!~”

⚰️ And that’s what you did! You always had something to eat at Undertaker’s place.

⚰️ Since you met the one and only Undertaker, you knew that you would never get hungry again.

⚰️ Surprise, surprise! He knew since day one, that you were a ghoul and got interested.

⚰️ The day you two became a couple, he asked you thousands of questions. “Are you really stronger than usual human beings?” “Why did you puke? Are my cookies really that bad?” “Mhh… So you guys don’t have to eat every day? Amazing!~ Tell me more!”

⚰️ You often hear him giggling, whenever you are around him or talk about other ghouls, who are hiding from humans.

⚰️ “Do you ghouls have any funny jokes? Tell me, tell me!~ Hihihihi”

texas smash babey

anyway can't believe it took me a week to post these but here are some Great™ pics from MHAcon texas smash last week special shoutout to @dabidevito the very incredible shiggy, baku to my kiri, and long todo (as well as the one doing all my eyeliner for me thank u so much), @/texas_fatgum/texasfatgum (on insta/tik tok) who saw me as kiri & screamed KIRISHIMA!!! super excitedly and then asked to take a pic, and the wonderful smol child named isabella who gave us the adorable mina drawing. honestly the most wholesome event I've attended. v v wholesome stories below the cut

on the literal first day, ten seconds after we arrived, a smol child ran up to us as kiri and baku and asked if they could take a pic with us it was very sweet

shoutout to the todo and dabi (katie and micah) who ran up to us and went KIRIBAKU then proceeded to chat with us for like half an hour

there was a panel with kurono and overhauls voice actors and they deadass were the funniest people and SO chaotic. kuronos voice actor was talking abt how he transitioned from the more gangster style voice to smth a little less Like That and his literal description for his thought once kurono takes off his mask was "he hot". overhauls va got all of the 8 bullets' vas in a twitter chat as soon as they were all announced and then they all got pizza. it was a q&a session and at one point a kid raised their hand, and kuronos va asked their name and the kid just rattled off their question instead and both of the guys were like THAT'S A REALLY LONG NAME at the exact same time, then high fived

a kiri (I think? I cant recall but they had red hair so probs either that or a todo) and a deku who just like. kept enthusiastically waving to me?????

the person who complimented my red contacts (as kiri) and said they really took the cosplay to the next level and they hadn’t seen anyone do that before (I literally turned to rose a minute later and was like.....okay so clearly they havent been on tik tok lmao)

the vendor person who caught my attention long enough to gesture at me, then their own shirt, then give me a thumbs up (cause I was wearing a red riot shirt)

on the second day I was hawks and rose was shiggy and as soon as we walked in someone was like "oh I love ur hawks". this happened several times (or some variation, like people just going HAWKS)

THE LOVELY PERSON WHO WALKED INTO THE BATHROOMS WHILE ROSE WAS FIXING HER HAIR, SAW ME, AND WENT "OHMYGOD YOU'RE HAWKS?????" then covered their mouth and was deadass speechless for several seconds

the dabi who said they liked my flower and vine tattoo :')

the person who not only came up to us and went SHIGAHAWKS? (to which I immediately responded I PREFER DABIHAWKS BUT YEAH) and then asked if rose was supposed to be texas shigaraki (yes. yes she was)

the person who came up and asked us to sign their wooden block that they had a ton of other cosplayers sign??? very wholesome

ONCE AGAIN ISABELLA WHO GAVE US THEIR MINA DRAWING AND SAID THEY THOUGHT WE MIGHT LIKE IT AND ALSO THEY LIKED OUR COSPLAYS

extremely special shoutout to the person who showed up in a SHIRTLESS HAWKS COSPLAY with some extendable/retractable FUCKIN MASSIVE WINGS that were probably a good 7ft across, u a real one my dude. they took pics for like 2hr with people, had their own music going, and the postmates driver who dropped off our food saw them from two stories down and asked us about them. also shoutout to the kid who was with their parent and, as they left the big-wing hawks and passed us (I was in hawks as well) said "normally he's not shirtless, he's wearing a shirt like that"

the todo cosplayer (we later found out this was katie, the todo cosplayer who found us a bit later) who asked the gran torino va if midoriya was all mights secret love child

the people who asked various vas if they believed the dabi=touya theory, and the amajiki va who deadass said "isn't that basically canon?"

shflshdkhskf I almost forgot the panel on bnha Theories hosted by pretty reckless (idr which social media they're on sorry rip) like we were hit with SO MANY theories all at once it was a challenge to really think through them all but it was a BLAST

seriously I cannot express how many amazing and adorable cosplays we saw. tons of dekus and todos and bakus, someone had this BOMBASS shinsou wig, another person had an incredible mei wig? someone made a full mei-during-sports-festival costume and it was awesome. there were so so so many amazing shoes like I cant even begin to say how many shoes rose and I pointed out to each other. the baku with red/yellow/orange camo jeans and a dope black hat??? the nejire in her hero costume? a ton of excellent dabis??? bonus points to the ones with red feathers in their hair. lots of togas in full costume. the smol child dressed in full amajiki hero costume??? the dope-ass tetsutetsu hero costume??? the tokoyami and dark shadow cosplayers??? that villain!todo. a fair few hero costume bakus (truly incredible those gauntlets are a Whole Thing and I applaud you) and a few hero costume kiris as well. literally so so many wonderful people they were all incredible

like. I've heard horror stories of bnha cosplayers, attending cons, etc. but every single person we interacted with was super kind and respectful and wholesome, I genuinely had such a lovely time and I'd absolutely do it again???

Goal is to finish by February so I can bring this to Katsucon!

We Built This Machine For Us

A look at the relationship between Midoriya, Shinso, and Hatsume. They may not function as smoothly as others, but their relationship works in it's own way.

[Midoriya x Shinso x Hatsume] [ShinDeku, IzuMei, ShinHatsume]

[Established Relationship, Polyamory, OT3, Developing Relationship, Humor, Character Study, Introspection]

There was a clatter as metal fall from the table and piled onto the floor. Mei didn't pay it any attention. She needed more space on the table and wasn't afraid to clear away anything not immediately in use. If her babies couldn't take a little wear and tear they weren't very good in the first place.

She paused long enough to flex her stiff fingers, absently cracking her neck. She was far too stiff. She'd been hunched over her work bench for a little too long, but there was no chance she would leave until her work was done. Everything was background noise compared to that. The grumbling in her stomach was no worse than the kink in her back, the grim on her flesh was no more than an itch, and the great thing about her quirk was that she could focus even when her eyes became blurry from lack of sleep.

The bang of the door opening only marginally got her attention. She turned to glance at the door, but her attention quickly went back to her work when she saw that it was only Shinso.

"It smells like a pig pen in here," Shinso announced as he crossed the room. "Would it kill you to air out the room every once in a while?"

He propped himself up on the work bench beside her latest project, but she didn't bother to look at him. She needed to focus and Shinso was a distraction.

The silence settled between them for a moment before he tapped on her project. "Tell me about this."

She didn't look up as she began to rattle off information, but found herself stopped halfway through.

"That's great, Mei! Look at me," Shinso ordered. There was a smile on his face, humor in his voice. "Do I even have to say it?" He asked, shaking his head at her. "Go back to your room, take a shower, sleep for eight hours, then call me."

There was no fight in her as she turned to follow his commands.

"Love you, Mei!" His voice followed her out of the room.

Shinso was with Midoriya when he got the call.

Hanging around both Midoriya and Hatsume had gotten him used to having a near constant stream of noise floating around in the background. Shinso didn't mind it so much. He could tune out if he wanted to and sometimes heard something interesting if he didn't, the only difference was subject matter. With Midoriya it was all quirks, and hero worship, and awkward stories that were way funnier than they had any right to be, even if Midoriya was too embarrassed to see how hilarious he was; and with Hatsume it was tech, and wild ideas, dropped conversations as she inspired herself mid speech. Sometimes the two talked to each other and the combined deluge of noise and ideas was as smooth as music, but he'd never admit to the investment he actually had in them talking.

"Midoriya, be quiet," Shinso commanded. He didn't use his quirk, he didn't have to. Midoriya was the sort of person that defaulted to listening to others anyway, so the chatter that had been going on was slowly halted. Shinso put the call on speaker. "Hi, Mei."

"You're a monster!" Those were the first words out of her mouth. It was something that could easily rub him the wrong way. Words like 'monster' were too close to villain for him to take in stride usually, but he'd learned to give Hatsume a bit more leeway.

Hatsume wouldn't know how to watch her words if she invented a machine to do it for her. She was careless in every sense of the words. The way she spoke, the way she interacted with others, the lack of care she gave herself... It had not taken many days of missed calls, delayed apologies, and forgotten meetups for Shinso to realize that Hatsume was a stable disaster that needed to be taken in stride.

He laughed, leaning back against the bed where he sat on the floor of Midoriya's room. Midoriya moved to sit on the edge of the bed, closer to him. "You sound well rested."

"I was almost done! I was so close."

"You went to see Hatsume?" Midoriya asked. He was smiling, Shinso could hear it.

"I needed to air her out," He explained.

Midoriya laughed, prompting Shinso's smile to become wider.

"I was three upgrades from finishing and you made me forget half of my plans!" She exclaimed. Listening Hatsume complain about having to take care of herself was honestly one of Shinso's secret pleasures.

"You should take better care of yourself, Hatsume," Midoriya told her in the sadly caring tone that made Shinso think he'd make a great hero. He'd perfected that 'I'm not mad, just disappointed voice.' "If you did, Shin would have to show up to make you all the time."

Shinso blushed at the nickname, slumping down in his seat to hide his embarrassment. "Y-yeah, stop being such a pig."

"I'm going to lock you out of my lab. You're banned, you here me!" Hatsume proclaimed.

"Ooh, I'm so scared. Pffft!"

"Hatsume, you know we care about you," Midoriya said, trying to soothe over Shinso's careless response. It made Shinso want to be more flippant, more belligerent, just to see how far Midoriya would go to be a buffer for him.

"If either of you cared about me, you'd let me work!"

She hung up.

Shinso dramatically blew out a long breath and let hid phone drop to the floor. He followed soon after, letting himself fall sideways onto the floor. "You ever wonder what it would be like to have a real girlfriend?" He asked. "One that worries about makeup and dates and dumb stuff like that?"

Midoriya shook his head. "I, uh, I don't think I'd know what to do with myself if Hatsume was someone like that." His face had gone red, like it always did when he talked about relationships, theirs or otherwise.

Shinso lifted his phone and took a picture while Midoriya wasn't looking, quickly gaining his attention from the flash and loud clicking sound. He had his setting perfectly set to embarrass Midoriya whenever he snapped a picture of him. It was swo satisfying to see the panic and red cheeks lighting up Midoriya's face that he took another picture. "Perfect."

There was a chance the Shinso's infactuation with Mei and Midoriya was entirely due to how easily he could troll them both. Shinso grinned.

"Shin, please!" Midoriya launched for the phone, but Shinso predicted that move and held it out of sight.

"Not that easy, Midoriya."

He attempted to get the phone from Shinso a few more times, extending himself further and further until he fell off of the bed and landed on top of Shinso.

"Oof! You trying to kill me, Mido?" Shinso asked.

Midoriya scrambled off quickly. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I r-r-really didn't mean to!" He was so flustered that he was getting tongue tied.

Shinso laughed as he sat up. "Yeah, I know." He lightly kissed Midoriya's cheek and laughed again as Midoriya's flush covered even more skin. He took another quick pic.

Midoriya groaned. "Shin, why?" He hid his face in his hands as he let himself fall to the floor and curl up in a ball.

Shinso moved over him to snap more pictures. "Hold that pose."

"Hatsume is right. You're a monster."

The tone was so light and playful that Shinso couldn't find himself upset about it. Hatsume could say it. Midoriya could say it. He knew what they meant, what they thought of it. They hadn't redefined the word, just rearranged his feelings about it a bit.

"Hatsume, is this your room?" Midoriya's jaw dropped as Hatsume held open a door.

She smiled brightly at him. "Yep. Do you like it?"

The room looked more like a junk yard than anything else. There were inventions and spare parts littering every surface he could see, along with a clutter of coffee cups and energy drinks. He found himself looking over at Shinso, who met his gaze with his own skeptical one.

"Do you even have a bed?" Shinso questioned.

Hatsume waved him off as if it was the most trivial thing he could have asked about. "It's in there somewhere. It's not a big deal."

"Is this why you don't sleep?" Shinso continued. "Because your room is a literal landfill?"

"Hey! Don't talk about my babies like they're trash," Hatsume scolded. She took a few careful steps into the room and placed her hand on one of her 'babies.' Something that closer inspection revealed to be a robot that was just slightly shorter than the doorway. "Besides, if I really need to, I can sleep here." She pat the arms which were curled into a craddle position, making Midoriya wonder if she'd been sleeping there the whole time.

Midoriya looked at her with horror. "Is that where you've been sleeping?"

"Midoriya, It's fine," She insisted.

"Nothing about this room is fine!"

"You worry too much."

"I'm not leaving here until this room is livable," He told her.

Shinso let out a breath and moved to lean against the wall across from her door, taking out his phone and sliding to the ground. "I refuse to participate in this."

"That's fine," MIdoriya said, rolling up his sleeves. "I spent a summer cleaning up a beach as quirk training, I can handle Hatsume's room."

"Midoriya, you don't need to do that," Hatsume told him.

"One of us has to and we both know that it won't be you."

"Just sit down and say out of the way," Shinso told her.

"It's my room," She replied, placing her hands on her hips.

"Not anymore it's not."

"Why did you even bring us here to study?" Midoriya asked. "You knew what this place was like."

"I just wanted to pick up something, but I forgot what it was," She admitted.

"You're a fucking disaster, Mei!" Shinso complained loudly.

"Shut up, Shins--"

"Help Midoriya clean your room," He ordered.

Immediately, Hatsume hunched over and began to gather up the empty coffee cups.

Midoriya looked over his shoulder to smile at Shinso. "Thanks."

Shinso gave a thumbs up but kept his eyes trained on his phone. This was going to be a long day and he was pretty sure that no studying was going to get done.

Hatsume wasn't good at taking care of people, caring about them, interacting with them, or remembering them. She spent long stretches of time locked up in a creative haze, forgetting to call or check on anyone and generally being reclusive until someone came to flush her out. She said the first thing that came to mind which had the effect of making people respond less than favorably to her sometimes.

In the beginning, Midoriya seemed to be hurt by her lack of contact. He'd come peaking into her lab with a sheepish expression and hunched shoulders, which she only noticed because she was so enthusiastic to create something for him that he got nearly all her attention when he showed up. Shinso was usually pissed and they'd ended up screaming at each other when he showed up to vent his rage at her neglect, evolving from indifference on her part to annoyance and anger when he started insulting her skills and abilities.

Eventually Midoriya figured out that she wasn't bothered by his presence and was just forgetful and Shinso stopped taking her long silences so personally. Even as friends Hatsume was a load on their relationship and she wasn't sure why Midoriya put up with her. No one else ever did. Usually after enough missed dates, unanswered calls, and silent visits ass he worked instead of interacting, people gave up on her.

Not Midoriya.

As soon as he realized that she wasn't ignoring him or opposed to his presence, he started showing up with more frequency. He had the patience of a saint. He came to ask her if she needed anything, he didn't stress her about missed appointments, and was actually pretty good company. It was only natural that eventually she'd notice that Shinso kept hanging around the lab, that food appeared on the table at her elbow, that she had pretty consistent friends and felt like a real heel for the way she treated them.

Hatsume knew very well that she sucked at people.

She had her own way of trying to take care of the people she cared about though. Like trying to offer MIdoriya things that could help him control his quirk. Like keeping a space clear floor Shinso when he wanted to show up, somewhere out of sight of the door so that no one else could find him if he didn't want to be found. Like looking up when the door opened so that she could acknowledge their presence.

She wasn't really sure that she was doing enough until Shinso confessed to her on Midoriya's behalf. Apparently, he'd told her that he liked her days earlier and she hadn't realized, so Shinso came into say the same thing in a more blunt manner. That was the dynamic that they shared, had been sharing, when they extended an invitation to include her whatever it was they shared.

Hatsume hadn't known they were... anything, if she were honest. She hadn't paid attention. She never paid attention to anyone, really, except them. She had been pretty sure she would say no up until the point where she'd said yes. Then Midoriya sneaking in to check on her turned into Shinso forcing her out of the lab to eat and sleep, turned into him and Midoriya double teaming the inventions she made to stall them, turned into Shinso using his quirk on her once he learned it was okay.

Hatsume was not good with people. That was why she talked to Shinso about their relationship before Midoriya. Midoriya was better at explaining things, but Shinso was better at actually talking. That was why she let Midoriya lure her out of her lab to hang out.

Hatsume was bad with people, but she could learn and she could be taught.

They were on the floor of Midoriya's room. It was where they ended up most often, since Hatsume's room was a dumpster fire and Shinso hated having people in his space most of the time despite being fine existing in theirs. He was laying on the floor scrolling through his phone, she was sitting against the wall tinkering with something in the palm of her hand, and Midoriya was sitting on his bed. There was a hum of chatter, but he wasn't sure which of them was doing the talking this time.

Shinso would admit to a lack of planning on his part when he dropped his phone and asked, "Are we ever gonna make out?"

Midoriya made a choking sound from the bed and looked at Shinso with wide, panicked eyes. Shinso had honestly just asked the question without thought, so he hadn't anticipated Midoriya's reaction despite the fact that it was completely obvious. "W-what?"

"Sure," Hatsume shrugged. Leave it to her to not even look up from her current project. "Could be an intriguing course of action."

Shinso rolled over so that he could watch Hatsume. "Are you even into kissing people or are you only attracted to science and robotics?"

Hatsume shrugged. "I've never kissed anyone before, so I don't know."

"W-what?" Midoriya repeated.

Shinso looked over at Midoriya, a grin slowly spreading over his lips at the look on Midoriya's face. "You've thought about it, right?"

"I-I-I.... y-you...." His words devolved into a groan and he buried his face in a pillow.

Hatsume actually looked up at this. "You okay, Midoriya?"

"Do you wanna go first?" Shinso added.

"How can you ask me that?" Midoriya yelled.

"Easily."

Midoriya made a strangled sound of embarrassment.

Shinso wasn't sure whether or not those sounds were meant to be words, but it got a chuckle out of him anyway. He moved into a sitting position. "I'll go first."

Midoriya's head popped up from where it was buried. He was completely red, expression utterly mortified, and yet his eyes were glued to both Shinso and Hatsume. Midoriya was so easy to read. Shinso winked at him just to see the embarrassment rise within him.

Hatsume put down her project and looked between them. She stretched her arms out over her head. "We doing this?"

"Yeah," Shinso said."I'm clearly the only one with any experience between us, so I'll take the lead for you hopeless youths."

"Have you k-kissed anyone before?" Midoriya asked.

"Nope," Shinso replied, popping the p and drawing the word out. "But I know more about it than either of you, obviously."

"Teach me, Shin," Hatsume said. She reached out to him, but didn't move, looking more curious than anything else. Shinso rolled to his feet and crawled over to Hatsume, taking her face into his hands. "Don't bite me or anything weird like that."

"Why do you expect me to do something weird?" She asked.

"Because yo always do," He told her. He leaned forward to press his lips to hers and Hatsume surged forward, knocking them both to the ground but keeping their lips connected the whole way. Once they hit the ground she started licking his lips, but more like she was tasting him than trying to do anything sexy. "What the hell, Mei?" He asked, pushing her face away to avoid being licked like she was a puppy.

"What? I didn't bite you?" Hatsume replied.

"No, you did something weird!"

"How was I supposed to know it was weird?"

"Do you usually go around licking people?"

"Well, not anymore," She said.

"The fuck, Hatsume?"

"Y-you... really don't know much about kissing, do you?" Midoriya spoke up quietly.

Hatsume shrugged. "I know the basics. Lips, tongue, and teeth in different arrangements."

"Oh my god, Hatsume," Shinso sighed. "Couldn't you have just followed my lead?"

"What would I learn by doing that?" She asked. "Experimentation is the only way to--"

"I'm not one of your inventions!" He groaned.

Hatsume shrugged. "I could--"

"Please don't say whatever it is that you're thinking. I know that I'm not going to like it." He pushed her away so that he could sit up. "Midoriya, please. I have to show this weirdo what she's supposed to do!"

"Uh.... I, um...."

"Midoriya, don't pass out on me. It's just a kiss." Shinso sighed, pulling his legs up and resting his head on his knees. "Why am i dating you two hopeless idiots."

"Beats me," Hatsume replied easily.

"I-I c-could... um, I could t-try..." Midoriya stammered.

"I'm not gonna peer pressure you into a kiss," Shinso told him.

"I-I didn't mean--"

"Midoriya, shut up." Shinso ordered. He used his quirk just to be on the safe side. He wanted to mope, not to guilt trip his partners. Midoriya didn't always see the distinction and it was better not to let him talk himself into doing things he didn't want to make other people happy.

There was a short, blessed silence and Shinso mourned when Hatsume broke it. "You should let me study your quirk some more."

Shinso let himself fall to the ground. "I'm gonna die a virgin."

It was probably a good thing that Midoriya couldn't react to that, because Shinso was certain that statement would have killed him.

Affection was a difficult thing to get used to between them. Midoriya himself wasn't exactly opposed to the idea, though intimacy made him nervous, once he had time to get used to each new stage in their relationship, he managed not to freak out as much about it. He had stammered for five minutes straight the first time Hatsume held his hand, only to realize that she hadn't meant it that way. It had startled him the first time Shinso hugged him only to later realize it was so that Shinso could flip off people that were staring at them without him being the wiser.

In a lot of ways, it was nice not to be dating people that wanted to be all over him all the time. In other ways, it was a little disappointing and frustrating.

Hatsume never initiated touching unless it was for the purpose of some experiment, wanting to study his quirk, or trying to get him to participate or help her with an invention.

Shinso was as likely to touch him as not. He wasn't big on public affection, but would get more touching if there were people around that he could annoy or piss off with it the action. He would put an arm around Midoriya to show him something on his phone or hold his hand on rare occasions, but most public affection was not initiated. Sometimes Shinso would lean against him when they were in Midoriya's room and that was nice, but it wasn't exactly what he wanted. He didn't know what he wanted or how to express the desire that nagged at him.

It was for this reason that Midoriya was totally surprised that the first kiss he shared in this relationship was with Hatsume.

"Hey, Midoriya, sit here." She cleared a space on her work bench and pat the area to indicate where she wanted him.

"What's this for?" He asked as he hopped into place.

"Shinso got me thinking and I feel like we should conduct our own experiment," She told him.

"What experiment?"

Hatsume took his face in her hands, staring at him intently and mumbling her observations out loud. She turned his head left and right, up and down, looked into his eyes and closely at his lips.

"Uh, Hatsume?"

"Shh. You'll interrupt my notes, Midoriya."

"Are you recording this!" He asked, eyes darting around to search for a watching camera.

"Audio only," She replied. "Now shh. Subject seems anxious, mostly likely due to the surprise of preservation rather than the soon to precede activities."

"What acti-"

She pressed her lips to his, soft and warm and nothing like what she'd done to Shinso weeks ago. He was blushing, a warmth spreading throughout his entire body when she pulled away. "H-Hatsume..."

"Pleasant. Receptive," She said clearly. "First experiment a success. Now to explore the variables."

"Wha-"

Her mouth closed down on his once more, except this kiss was nowhere near as simple and Midoriya had the sudden thought that she had much more experience than she had a few weeks ago.

Watching her boyfriends sparring was something that she never thought she would find as interesting as she did. On a surface level there was interest, of course. Having the chance to study Midoriya's quirk in action was always something she was interested in, and having a controlled environment to observe Shinso was something she constantly fought for. This was different though.

They didn't always or even most of the time, spar using their quirks. Most of the time it was Midoriya running through simple motions, demonstrating kicks and punches, and Shinso reluctantly trying to imitate the actions. Shinso liked to complain a lot about being 'forced to train' but she was almost certain he was the one that asked Midoriya for help and he tried to push himself in training like he never did anywhere else.

She wasn't always sure why she showed up to watch these training sessions. Sometimes she participated. She wasn't exactly trying to be a hero like they were, but staying in shape made some things easier for her. Watching them was oddly compelling. Studying the movement of their bodies, the subtle muscle spasms, watching the sweat drip down their skin.

"Oh!" Her exclamation caught both boys attention and paused mid movement to look at her. "I find you both attractive."

Shinso immediately began laughing, putting his hands on his knees to brace himself as his breathing was replaced with a constant stream of giggles.

Midoriya turned red, arms self consciously covering his body."Wh-what m-m-made you..."

"Hastu... Hatsume... Oh god," Shinso tried to speak between fits of laughter with little success at first. "Holy shit... Only you, Mei."

"Um..." Midoriya looked nervous, fidgeting in place and unsure of what to say.

Hatsume was pretty sure she knew how to smooth over this situation. She smiled at them. "Hey, Shinso? I think now would be a good time for that making out that you wanted to do before."

"Ha-Hatsume!" Midoriya yelled.

"This is isn't the first time we've kissed Midoriya, it's fine," She told him.

"B-but..."

"Unless you don't want to?" She questioned.

He blushed more and avoided her eyes, then Shinso's as Midoriya noticed him watching as well. "I... I do... want to," He admitted quietly.

"Then there's no problem," Shinso said. He reached out for Midoriya's hand, pulling him closer and smiling softly. "Let's go to my room, for once. Less interruptions."

Midoriya nodded shyly.

Hatsume stood up, dusting off her pants, and took Midoriya's other hand. She smiled at him enthusiastically. "I think this will go well. Don't be so nervous. I already studied this extensively--"

"That's probably not helping, Mei," Shinso told her.

"Does my excitement help?" She asked. "Because I think I'm fairly excited."

"That's a nice change," Shinso said. "I'm pretty excited too."

It was quiet for a while Midoriya added, "Y-yeah... so am I."

She and Shinso smiled at each other. It wasn't the smoothest relationship, but it seemed to work for them and they all enjoyed it, so she looked forward to gathering all the data about their habits and likes as she could.

Oh but it doesn't stop there, the moment Ed enters the palace unauthorized, the guards become alert and (try to) stop him (even though Ed can take them all out, alchemy or none), but of course Ling convinces them to stop fighting because he's known as the Boot Guy (yes, the time Ling and Ed got stuck in Gluttony, ate a boot together, lost their marbles, and escaped with Ed's help)

Oh Al and Mei? They just choose to go up the stairs to exercise. And not only that, when Al reaches the top wheezing, he's met with a dying of laughter Ed who's then challenged to a race up the stairs, and as we all know, Ed doesnt back down on a challenge

the stair shenanigans just never end, when Al is in the lead, Ed decides to have a lil bit of fun and pulls a dirty move and knocks Al over, but he forgot that Al still can use alchemy, so OFF GOES ED, flung into the air as revenge

while the two brothers are having the time of their life, Mei and Ling are spectating or rather, just watching shit go down like "Whats taking them so long" "I think theyre fighting", so they decide to cherish this moment by taking a pic of all the chaos thats ensuing on these Goddamn stairs with Ed in the Air, Al regretting his decision and trying to catch him and mei pulling a peace sign on the side and sending it as a postcard to winry with like smth written on it "me and the boys at Xing"

So me and my bros @spectra-bear and @echoelepaio were discussing a bit about Ling as the Xingese emperor. 

One of the things we discussed was how alkahestry has more connection to the dragon pulse of the earth, which could lead to Ling being able to create better transportation akin to earth-bending with earth lifts.

What made us lose it however was the idea that before the invention of earth lifts, we headcanoned that the palace was probably created on a huge ass mountain for defense purposes so it must have had a shitton of stairs. People had to walk up those damn stairs. All five-thousand of them.

When Ling became emperor he would always reserve earth lift guides to diplomats, visitors, etc cause he ain’t cruel. However, if he secretly doesn’t like you for any reason, he can definitely just not say a word about there being a required guide and just has you climb every. single. step.

A political figure who goes against wanting to do trade with Amestris? Climb the stairs.

Someone who disrespected Lan Fan? Climb the stairs.

Somebody who’s just being a general prick all together? Climb the stairs.

Edward? He doesn’t hate him but he likes being a little shit so UP THE STAIRS YOU GO!

If the Overwatch characters had blogs, what do you think they’d blog about? Who has the most followers? Who spends the most time on it?

i’ll put this under a cut cause i have the feeling it’ll get long

Ana - I don’t think she’d be the most active on her blog, but she would post every now and then. She gets featured on Fareeha’s and Gabe’s accounts more often than her own. When she does post, it always has some vague caption with it that makes her followers a little worried but still reassured that she’ll be fine. 

Bastion - don’t think so but if they did they’d have a lot of plants. they’re that one ‘uwu love my cactus’ kid.

D.Va - Streams more often than blogs - her blog is just a way for her to promote herself and any causes, as well as accidentally reblog stuff Lúcio tags her in with no comment.

Genji - no blog, goes out into the street and shouts everything he’s thinking instead.

Hanzo - see above.

Junkrat - Has a blog but does not know how to use it. Posts pictures of his thumb or a terrifying close up he took while trying to tear a scab. Sometimes uses it as google, resulting in multiple posts of ‘where’s the nearest gas station’ and ‘how much gas can I take from a gas station without having someone come over and get mad at me’

Lúcio - Lots of kickstarters and local news, as well as demos of his new music. He replies to every single ask in his inbox without fail, and is the first person to post an awareness post about something happening in the world. His icon is a frog and I think that’s all you need to know.

McCree - no blog, prints out memes and sends them to Genji in snail mail. Gabe says he tried to get him to stop it but Jesse wouldn’t listen.

Mei - Cutest pastel blog around, lots of plants reblogged from Bastion and awareness posts from Lúcio. She reblogs everyone’s promos and answers every nice ask with a long string of ‘thank you aaaaa’. Zarya is her number one mutual and they don’t know how to use IMs. Her personal posts tag is ‘a-mei-zing!’

Mercy - Started a blog but never got around to using it. Most of her posts are just descriptions of what happened in her day and which member of Overwatch had to come to medbay to get something taken out of their ass that day.

Pharah - Best blog. Posts the freshest memes and the best aesthetics. She has the most followers out of everyone and she calls all of them her best friends. Features her mom sometimes on her posts that gets everyone asking if they can follow her too. Gets memes in the mail from Jesse sometimes as well.

Reaper - Had a sick blog where he posted a bunch of pictures with Ana, Jack, Fareeha, and Jesse that got a lot of followers. His followers were mainly nice but if someone stepped out of line they never forgot it. Blog got deleted at some point unfortunately.

Reinhardt - Probably the same as Ana, except all his personal posts are in all caps and his followers refer to him as dad.

Roadhog - Has a blog but unfortunately his fingers are too big for the keyboard.

Soldier: 76 - don’t know, don’t care

Sombra - Neon purple #aesthetic. Doesn’t make any personal posts and sometimes goes offline for a long time only to come back months later like nothing’s wrong. Any attempts at finding out more about her have been unsuccessful.

Symmetra - Has a pretty nice blog, actually. Mei and Pharah are her best friends online and help her get started and understand anything confusing. Mainly pictures that she thinks are pretty.

Torbjorn - posts toes.

Tracer - I don’t think she’d use a blog that much, but when she does she uses it only to update on her personal life. Lots of training pics, post-workout selfies, old Overwatch crew group pics, and lots and lots of things related to Emily and how gay she is.

Widowmaker - no blog, but sometimes checks up on how everyone else’s is doing.

Winston - Adds a nice caption to every picture he reblogs, mentioning either who it reminds him of or a fun fact about whatever the picture is of. Doesn’t have a very big following but that’s okay, he still appreciates the few.

Zarya - Half fitspo and half gay. Her post-workout selfies got her the most followers, and she has a lot of body-posi stuff there as well. Her IMs with Mei go on forever, and she often reblogs stuff from Pharah with a caption on exactly how funny the meme is and if she can make a better one or not.

Zenyatta - Quiet blog, posts pictures that are nice and reblogs reference sheets and tips so he can keep them around. Follows Symmetra and sends her lots of pictures that he thinks she might like. Doesn’t have too many personal posts, but every time he does post his thoughts it gets liked by the entire Overwatch crew, including Genji borrowing someone’s phone.

LIVE

Three weeks ago, two good friends of mine passed away.

Zharmai was my first bestfriend in St. Scho. We were classmates from Grade 1-5 and we were inseparable during those times, almost literally. We were always together during break time, we were always next to each other in our lines. We had common clubs together. 

She lived in San Mateo and at that time, there weren’t any landlines yet in their area. When my dad had that ice shaver-looking cellphone, I always asked for his permission to use it so I can call Zhai. There were a few times when I got to go to their house, of course with my mom (I just can’t recall the occasion). Feeling ko kasi sobrang layo na ng bahay niya kaya paminsan-minsan lang ako makapunta. 

We kind of drifted apart in high school, probably because we didn’t belong to the same sections anymore (except in 4th year). We had different sets of friends/barkadas but we remained to be good friends. I do remember inviting her at my house when I celebrated my 14th birthday. She managed to mingle with my new barkada and we even had studio pics taken together. (We went to Robinsons Metro East after having our meal at home.) She was even the one who encouraged me to join the Glee Club on our last year (and fortunately, I was accepted, even got in the core group, represented the school in a competition, and won).

Zhai was like a perfect package of talent and wit. I can recall waiting for her in Gate 1 while she took her piano lessons across the street. She also had been associated with Glee Club ever since. And she won the graduation song writing contest (of course, we sang her song during our HS graduation). She managed to be always one of the top students in class. I remember we were 2 of the 5 students selected for a Math training or something when we were in Grade 4 or 5, haha. What the eff, nerds haha. And she was always elected as the president of her class when we were in HS. Fast forward, Zhai successfully became a lawyer and I heard she took high-profile cases. She had almost everything!

On top of that, she had been a great friend. I can’t recall a major fight that we had when we were young. We didn’t have like a pet name or something but when we grew older, we decided to call each other “poop”, I don’t know why, hahaha. Very classy, right? Hahaha. I also remember, she was our designated make-up artist in Glee Club when we were already doing the competition. And just recently, I was able to consult her for some legal stuff before she had her Euro trip.

After that trip, she got sick and eventually diagnosed with leukemia. Her doctor and family already came up with her treatment plan. Everything was like under control. She was still fine when she was confined until her throat got constricted; she had trouble breathing. She needed to be sedated so she can be intubated. She was transferred to the ICU. She had five cardiac arrests. Three days after knowing about her illness, Zhai died.

Mares was one of my kabarkadas in Kadacingko (yeah, we had that clingy phase, even naming our barkada haha.) (Kadacingko because our anniversary is November 5 hahaha, get it? We had a barkada name, a barkada notebook where we wrote to update each of us about our lives haha, and a barkada bag that each of us should use for a week). Our whole barkada was formed in our first year class (I - St. Rose of Lima). I don’t really remember the time when we just decided to hang out with each other, haha. But I do know we were all groupmates for a certain English play project. The portrayal of the life of San Lorenzo Ruiz was assigned to us and we had to have practices even on weekends. But the most memorable rehearsal we had was in Kish’s house (That was when I met my first boyfriend. Anywaaaaaayyyy...) Since then, we were always together. There’s this small mall across our school (We call it S’Mall, witty right?) and we go there just to hang out in Mcdo. Actually, we weren’t allowed to go there in our uniforms but we were badass like that. (Weird lang kasi oorder lang kami ng same food and just sit there. But that’s how we defined “tambay” that time.) 

I also remember making Mares as my “messenger”, hahahaha shet. She lived in the same village as my then-boyfriend and since we couldn’t see each other often (bawal pa kong magboyfriend that time, pasaway haha), we wrote letters to each other, what the fuck hahaha. And so I asked Mares the favor to hand my letters to him and v.v. Mares was so supportive, right? Hahaha.

Mares went to La Salle and I to ADMU in college. The whole barkada didn’t have time to see each other during these years but I do remember Mares teasing me in her Friendster testimonial that I will be her COO when she becomes the CEO/Chairman of her own company. We rarely talked to each other but she still managed to bully me hahaha (because we went to rival schools).

Mares and I weren’t really that close in the barkada. I mean, we were a lot in the group so you get to be closer to just at least one of them. Pero siya karamay ko sa mga kalokohan. I remember it was just the two of us who got ear bridge piercings but we had to remove them when we were in school because bawal. When we had our vacation in Pangasinan when Elaine went home from US, we drank liquor like it was water. We had fun caving adventures and cliff divings. She was like the epitome of YOLO x Young, Wild, and Free. She was really carefree at that time.

Then on the year of 2013, Mei, Mares, Wyn, and I went to Eastwood to hang out and have dinner. That was the time when Mares mentioned that she was feeling something bulging on her neck. We told her to have it checked. A few months after, Kish, Kish’s then-partner, Mares, and I went to have drinks. Mares was already wearing a scarf that time. The bulge became bigger and Kish (med student that time) said that it was inflammed. We didn’t think that it was a big of a deal. We were even planning our next Young, Wild, and Free session. Then she dropped the bomb a few days after. She messaged us on Twitter that she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. But she said that it’s the curable type so there’s nothing to be worried about.

Mares had this 180-degree turn in her life. She became more spiritually addicted. When I was suffering from depression in  2013-2014, she never “left” me. She was making me strong spiritually; she let me hold on to her and to God. That was when my friendship with Mares became deeper. She then invited me to join The Feast and that was when my life changed altogether. Even if she was sick, she managed to attend sessions with me, served in a couple of the ministries there. She was just too spiritually pumped up. In 2014 or early 2015, our prayers were answered; she had partial remission. 

November 2015, I was attending the Kerygma Conference and at that time, Mares just got home from her trip to Japan. She told me that she was coughing with blood. I told Kish (already a doctor at that time) about it and she said that wasn’t a good sign. It turned out that she had a relapse; her tumor became bigger, affecting her lungs. She went through chemo sessions but the tumor was really aggressive. I remember she was advised by the doctor to take another round of chemo with higher dosage of meds but she declined. She took alternative treatments; she just didn’t want to give up, she wanted to be well. Starting 2016, she was in and out of the hospital. She had several debridement operations for her chest wound. She always had difficulties in breathing. There was this time, I think that was August or September in 2017 when I visited her in the hospital with Wyn. I let her speak to Kish on the phone. Afterwards, I asked Kish about her thoughts and she gave Mares about two more months to live. She fought and stayed a bit more. That’s how strong and brave Mares was.

On the night of October 21, I got a call from Jyl, one of my Glee clubmates in HS. We haven’t talked to each other for a long time so I found it odd. She told me about Zhai and we agreed to visit her when Zhai’s condition becomes stable. After three hours, she called me again but since I was already sleeping, I missed her call. I got my phone and read a message from Mares’ ate saying that she passed away. I forgot to give a return call to Jyl because I was already grieving on Mares’ death but she messaged to tell me that Zhai also passed away. I felt like I was splashed with ice cold water on my face. I just didn’t know what to feel anymore at that time. What the fuck, really, I just lost two friends in one night?! I was like, “REALLY GOD?! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME?”

And maybe the message that God was trying to relay to me was: LIVE.

Take care of your body. I realized the value of healthy eating and exercise even more. I know I owe myself and my family good health. Everything sounds cliche but it pays to have that kind of discipline. I take so much effort to undergo IF and take regular runs and workouts. As much as possible, I resist taking sodas, sweets, instant food, and fastfood. I still wanna bear a child (if God permits) and have enough strength to carry him/her. I still wanna work for my family. I need to have that same level of energy as I take more loads of work (full time + part time combined). I don't want to be a burden to my family; I don't want them to incur so much costs if I acquire a major illness. I still wanna live longer.

Take care of your heart. What happened to Mares hit our whole barkada really hard. Most of my kabarkadas are doctors and nurses and it's really difficult for us to find time to meet. And while we don't get to see each other, we drifted apart even more. It was only Mares (and her condition) that was like binding us. Then Wyn left this message in our group chat, "Give time for each other no matter what." And I totally agree. It also hit me hard as an ate and daughter because I rarely make time for my family to like really bond. I usually go out or sleep, having less interaction with them. I would reason out that my work is too tiring and that I need some time off outside or some rest. But thinking about it, why am I not making time for the very reasons why I'm working my ass off? Everything will be completely nonsense. I usually make time for my friends but I must also make sure that I spend some of my time too with my family.

Take care of your mind and soul. I was really having a depressive mood that time. On that particular Sunday, I just stayed in, didn’t serve in Sunday school and didn’t hear mass. I didn’t have the energy to give my best at work that week. But then, I was like, what the fuck?! Mares and Zhai were both struggling to breathe and live a bit longer while I was sulking in thoughts resulted from too much negative thinking, making me more depressed. I was fucking wasting my days away. More bad stuff continued to rattle me after their death. I took time to absorb and cried over them. I know people said it's okay to not be okay sometimes but I think I had too much of that already. I needed to pick myself up. I have to be mentally tough or else I may not survive another day. I went back to God, said a major apology prayer for drifting so far away from Him. I didn't have Mares anymore to share my fears so I knew I had no choice but to turn to Him again. Even though I still feel sad, I can feel that my heart is at peace because I know I made better decisions now for myself.

As they say, life's fucking tough. But I've proven so many times that I'm tougher. I can't waste another day. I have to live.
