#i ramble too much!

I've got Sam's New Years Sale on the mind and I am now subjecting you to my wild card theories.

Sale Take 1:

Sale Take 2:

Sale Take 3:

A few things I want to preface this partial prediction with. Based on the trends, I think every boy is getting a New Year's Attire. Yes, even your fave. They started with 2 cards (Kalim and Deuce) and since then have released 4 each year. If this trend continues, I would expect 3 more New Years Sale events with 4 cards each, 2 SSRs and 2 SRs. The only thing that throws me off is... him (glances over to Leona). This is a lottery students sign up for. He would NEVER sign up for it willingly, but let's assume the stars align and the man is forced to be here. There's also King of the Introverts Idia Shroud, but I'm sure there's something he'd get out of it that makes him set out on the service worker quest. He and Sam have a bit of an understanding, I'm sure there's a valid reason he can make an appearance as a card in the event.

Now as for who is getting paired up and who is appearing this year, I have a theory. Looking back at the combinations of the past 3 events in terms of dorms, the first was Heartslaybul (H) and Scarabia (Sc). The second was Savanaclaw (Sa), Diasomnia (D), H, and Pomefiore (P). The third was H, P, Ignihyde (I), and Octavinelle (O). So far, no combination has had two members of the same dorm at once. Therefore, I think in each event, the 4 will all be from different dorms (that also makes it more fun when the dorms come into the shop if only one of them is a worker). So if you think of the next groups as breakdowns of 4, that means two of the three will have an H boy (Ace and Riddle), and all of the upcoming events have a D boy (Silver, Malleus, Lilia). So that would like

H D

H D

D

Not in that particular order, but you get the idea. Now as for who will be in this next event specifically, I have another theory. So far, we have had an Sc, Sa, D, H, and P SSR. The fact they don't repeat a dorm is this order is something I find interesting. Based on this trend, I believe in this next event, the SSRs will be an I and an O. Because Ortho is already in an event, I think this year we are getting an SSR New Year's Attire Idia (or at the very least at some point, fair is fair, every dorm should get at least on SSR), which would make this a stacked year for Idia as he already has Tsum SSR but I still think this is right. And folks. IDIA IN CUSTOMER SERVICE! THINK OF THE VIGNETTE. As for O, it could go for either Floyd or Azul. Both are spectacular candidates for that vignette and I'm not really leaning towards any, but mark my words one of them is getting an SSR.

"But didn't Ortho and Jade JUST appear last year" yes they did. But I don't think that'll be an issue because in event 2, Cater and Vil appeared as SRs and the following year Trey and Rook appeared as SSRs. O and I for this event should still work.

And if we go with my previous prediction, that puts a D boy in there as well. Which of the three still available it will be, I'm not so sure. Probably depends on who would Duo the best with those I predicted (and based on my prediction I know EXACTLY which one many people are going to manifest). As for the fourth person, I actually don't know. We could be in the set that either includes an H or doesn't. There's a 2/3 chance of one appearing, but that would be 4 H boys in a row. I don't know if they are pumping them all out as quickly as possible or if they'll stop and put another dorm in. That fourth person could literally be almost any other dorm (P (Epel), Sc (Jamil), Sa (Leona or Jack)) Also, there's nothing against two dorms appearing together in two events (case: H and P both appearing in two events). This is probably another case of the Duo logic, except Duo predictions don't tend to make sense to me especially since they can repeat, so I don't even try to make sense of them. They turn me into that one dude with the whiteboard meme (Actually that image matches most of the nonsensical theories I spout).

At the very least, based on my model an O and an Sa should appear with an H and D, either in the same event or different ones. In the one with Sa, D, and H, the 4th just won't be Epel because that's just event 2 in another font.

So that also leaves 4 other SSRs to wildly speculate about. Now, this becomes less of a theory and enters more personal desire territory. I want Jack to be one of them. BREAK HIM OUT OF R JAIL, HE DESERVES A WIN, GIVE HIM ANOTHER SSR YOU COWARDS! Um, yeah hopefully Jack gets one, man is long overdue. I REALLY want Silver or Malleus to get another one, they both only have, well, one. Actually, Malleus is getting another one with Tsum, so Silver is more so lacking. And Silver is my boy, so of course I want it to be him. But, just IMAGINE the Malleus in customer service vignette. It's too tantalizing to not want. I doubt both could get one because Sebek has one, so it has to be one or the other (watch it be Peepaw, coming in with a steel chair to steal the SSR from his sons). Throwing it out there: Diasomnia SSR is after this one. Based on the conspiracy theory I have I won't elaborate on. Ok now as for the other two, I'm going to say NOT Jamil. Funny enough, I predicted him getting the SR in Tsumsted 3 and he was an R wildly enough (a true win for One SR Trey), so I don't have a good track record predicting Jamil cards (Tapis Rouge baffled me). Anyway, this is based on the fact Kalim already has one and if the whole dorm has one it'd be giving favoritism. Also, I have no idea where a vignette could go from there. (Gosh, I don't know WHY they don't give the SRs vignettes anymore, Deuce got one and I love it). Using that same logic for Leona. The favoritism thing, not the vignette. That vignette would be hysterical. Man, customer service Leona is going to be so funny. It's just if I bank on Jack, then Leona should be an SR to keep the peace (Please let it be Jack, LEONA HAS ENOUGH (no hate to Leona btw)). That leaves me with 2 more SSRs and 4 contenders. I think Heartslabyul can spare another since there's just Trey so far, so there's a good chance Ace or Riddle could get an SSR. Perks of being the biggest dorm. So I guess that leaves an O boy and Epel. Since I think one O boy is getting it this year, that means the other is in competition with Epel to snag two SSRs for their dorm. That'll be interesting to see.

Ok, now watch me be completely wrong.

Currently thinking about how much Ford tries to hide his hands a lot when he can…behind his back with this stance. Due to how often he’s been bullied for it.

And also, how Mabel is one of the ones who Ford feels happy about showing his hands to because she thought they were cool looking upon first shaking his hand, instead of him being judged for his six fingers.

[ID: Gravity Falls screenshots. The first three are of Ford with his hands crossed behind his back. The last two are of him shaking hands with Mabel, and letting her paint a turkey on his hand. He's smiling in both. End ID.]

not caring too much about a fandom’s favourite guy is the worst. you’ll think “oh i’ll look into the tag see if anything new and cool’s there” and it’s just that fucking guy again

[hanizmiyu]

Twst artist i beg you to PLEASE draw ur oc and Idia with this pose😩🙏

[oobbbear]

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

[bitter-hibiscus]

There's not a single thing you could say to convince me that Bruce and Tim are gothamites. Look at this fucking map

Bristol is so far removed from the heart of Gotham that there's quite literally no way it shares many, if any, cultural traits with Gotham. That's not even counting the insane wealth disparity that makes the ways of life (and therefore culture and habits and dialects and food) completely incomparable. Tim and Bruce aren't gothamites, they're Bristol brats, and I fully believe nobody in Gotham would accept them calling themselves gothamites. Especially with the size of the Wayne Estate.

Edit bc a lot of you are reblogging this base post instead of the additions in the notes: Turns out I am a victim of fanon and Tim only moved to Bristol after Bruce took him in. Tim can call himself a gothamite. Bruce cannot

I made this AAAAGES ago and forgot to post it and now I'm annoyed by how it's rotting away on my phone so here. Bratty teen Thancred being a menace to Fourchenault (and a bad influence on Urianger lol)

[starry-bi-sky]

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.

i'm in one of those phases where i really wish i believed in manifesting and spellcasting and things like that bc you know when you want something so bad you're literally praying for the universe to let it happen

[vellichorsdesire]

f/o who doesn’t know they’re touchstarved until they meet you.

the heavy want grows in their chest and is absolutely undeniably there whenever you two even just briefly touch. when you’re so close that they’re so desperate have you closer, wanting to feel their body pressed against yours in a tight embrace, that the thought of your hand in theirs is barely enough. when you two finally hug, or whenever you do, they sink into your embrace almost immediately, a deep sigh of content heard as they wrap their arms around you to return the tender hug. it’s a little hard to get their arms off you afterward, with those small mumbles of “just a little longer” and “i don’t want to let go yet.”

maybe they’re super embarrassed about feeling so at first and are so glad whenever you indulge in their desire to have you, to feel your warmth. or they’re incredibly stubborn about it but their actions always say otherwise, finding every little chance to have their skin touch yours, to quietly tug on your sleeve or any other sign that you immediately know what they want with it.

eitherway they’re forever thankful that you’re so understanding. with the little touches you guys end up doing like from simply pushing a strand of hair behind an ear or running fingers through each other’s hair, they’re absolutely addicted. smitten, even, so incredibly much that they can’t put their love for this, for you into words.

It’s been clear that the Tanizakis aren’t siblings from the very beginning

here’s some evidence now that it’s been confirmed canon…

everyone who’s read irl Tanizaki’s book knew that Junichiro & Naomi weren’t siblings as soon as they introduced themselves

BUT just because the Tanizakis aren’t siblings doesn’t mean you can’t feel uncomfortable about them. if you feel uncomfortable, GOOD. that’s exactly what they want

the Tanizakis, Mori— they all use these disturbing ruses to disarm or distract people in order to protect themselves, or to accomplish their goals. this is a writing device that asagiri commonly employs as a way to parallel the irl literature (it’s actually ingenious)

there are 4 main indicators that have always made it clear to me that Junichiro & Naomi are not siblings:

1. most obviously— their character designs. Harukawa is extremely intentional with character designs, & she very intentionally made Naomi & Junichiro look nothing alike

their eye shapes are purposely different

their color palettes are contrasting

even their differing styles of clothing have meaning

this was all done so that the audience could PLAINLY see that they’re not related— so that WE know that they’re lying when they say they ARE related

2. how the people around them respond to their act.

the general reaction is “don’t question it”— which is exactly what they want. “be distracted by how uncomfortable you feel so that you look away from what we’re hiding” (this is likely a protective measure)

3. most importantly, this is meant to parallel irl Tanizaki’s book “Naomi,” where the main character Joji picks up Naomi to raise her into his ideal woman, but since she's so young (& a minor) they call each other cousins (Joji makes no sexual advances on young Naomi btw)

however, his plan backfires because when Naomi gets older & they get married, she flips the script on him & manipulates HIM so that he's under her thumb (which is why bsd Tanizaki is at a domineering Naomi's mercy). Joji let her have her way because of his masochistic tendencies

4. lastly is the emphasis that Asagiri and the Tanizakis themselves put on calling each other siblings.

over & over, it’s “my brother this” & “my sister that”

like they’re desperately trying to convince us that it’s true (“don’t let your lying eyes deceive you”)

here are just a few of many examples from the light novels…

again, if you’ve read “Naomi” you knew that Junichiro & Naomi weren’t siblings as soon as they introduced themselves

just like if you’ve read irl Mori’s works, it’s clear that bsd Mori isn’t a pedophile

just like if you’ve read No Longer Human you know that Dazai’s an unreliable narrator. he makes you think he’s a bad person bc he believes he’s a bad person, but those around him see him differently (btw this doesn’t mean he’s never done anything “bad,” though bsd isn’t about morality— but that’s another discussion)

anyway, i’m so excited for the Tanizakis backstory to be revealed so that we can better understand why they use this defense!!

also let this be a reminder to READ THE LITERATURE if you’re able to!! even reading synopses & analyses of the coordinating books makes bsd make much more sense 🥹

reminder that this how you’re supposed to react while reading bsd:

also, if you’re interested in a post explaining how Mori isn’t a pedo, i wrote this analysis on twt. OR you can read this document that one of my moots sent me (remember: analyzing a character does NOT mean you condone any actions they may or may not commit!)
