It's great to see Eunbi in tons of festivals but I hope she doesn't overwork herself. Especially when she has a comeback in a month or so
Jiggles aside, I think this is one of the few times her stylists chose to accentuate her curves in other places 😗
Eunbi in 👖 stonks!
Good luck with the second half of this year (her comeback + waterbomb in multiple stops 😛)
Catching up on IZ Days of Christmas, I'm still amazed you have the same drive and even more creativity even you've been here for a pretty long time now. Can't wait for you next update!
Hearts of encouragement for IZ ❤❣💕💞💓💗💖💝
Her festivals are a treat to watch! Some of my favorite looks:
Yeah, I have a thing for girls in skirts...
But those jeans—imagine coming up behind her and squeezing that ass and she giggles and tells you "Daaaaddy not here!" I'm going insane and i need help.
Can't wait for her comeback! Let's hope it's even more successful!
Thanks for the kind words! I really, really enjoy writing here. I hope that can be seen through the quality of the fics and my creativity. Thank you so much!

3, 4, 14, and 37 for dean and seamus
my darling boys! 🥹 dean and seamus, off we gooooo. thank you @valfromcall!
3. Obscure headcanon
obscure headcanon 1 - dean thomas was born may 10th 1980, the day west ham won the FA cup. that west ham have never won the cup since remains a source of great regret for east london's golden boy. unfortunately may 10th also happened to be the day in 1997 when gryffindor won the house cup and harry potter scooped his ex from right from under his nose - a bad birthday for the ages. seamus tried to cheer him up by reminding him that may 10th is also the birthday of a proud son of ireland (bono from U2), which dean said was 'not helping'
obscure headcanon 2 - this is dean and seamus' son:
also this isn't obscure but their first kiss was 100% in the finnigan tent at the quidditch world cup after ireland's stonking victory over bulgaria
4. Favorite line
for seamus, it's probably when they're all in the dormitory in GoF and dobby rocks up and seamus nonchalantly goes 'someone attacking you, Harry?' aka mr finnigan giving precisely zero shits about whatever main character moment harry is having and thereby failing his audition for inclusion in the golden trio. bonus special mention to the world's worst pep talk in PS/SS:
“Harry, you need your strength,” said Seamus Finnigan. “Seekers are always the ones who get clobbered by the other team.” “Thanks, Seamus,” said Harry, watching Seamus pile ketchup on his sausages.
can't a man enjoy a condiment anymore smh
for dean, it's either "send him off, ref! red card!' from PS/SS or this from OotP:
"Well, [Moody] turned out to be a maniac, didn’t he?" said Dean Thomas hotly. "Mind you, we still learned loads."
14. Most heroic moment
seamus 'harry's a liar' finnigan getting beaten to a pulp and unrecognisably disfigured by the carrows. king shit
dean is being the biggest bravest boy in the world all on his own on the run leaving his mum and sisters behind and not being able to have a cuddle when he's lost and alone and scared and hungry all through DH :(
37. What they really think about themselves
i think, as teenagers, seamus was the one with a lot of insecurities and self-loathing: struggling with the knowledge that he was gay and a bit in love with his best mate and not really knowing what to do with it, in conflict with his mum and wrestling with who he was going to be in this big war that seemed to be looming, not the cleverest or the sportiest or the anything-est and generally a bit aggy and restless. dean was the much more relaxed one of the two. he had a strong sense of right and wrong, was sure the goodies would prevail before anything got too out of hand, was content with his kind of chill blokey vibe and got a fit girlfriend that meant he could park any of the slightly confusing feelings he was feeling for shay.
after the war, though, they swap roles. seamus has quite a settled sense of self after his school years - like, he got his fuck up out of the way (not believing voldemort was back, having his big sulk), but then redeemed himself, was on some real hero shit and really became close with the other DA lot, getting a lot out of the prestige of being an auror for a bit, no longer felt like he had much to prove, and felt loved and confident enough to come out. dean, however, really struggled with the impact of the war, feeling an intense sense of isolation and distance from the other's wartime experiences, and both envying seamus' confidence to come out but struggling to accept that he might also not be straight, like it was just another thing that would mark him out as Other. i basically think seamus and dean were hooking up a lot immediately after school and in their early twenties, but always in secret, while dean kept dating muggle girls and playing out this big tension he feels in his own identity, between the muggle and wizarding worlds, as well as over his own sexuality and internalised homophobia. i reckon seamus was the one to (eventually) recognise this was self-destructive and breaking his heart, and ended it. cue the wilderness years!
they obviously get back together eventually, though, hence west ham son (yes i'm obsessed with this child), although seamus threatened to break up with him when dean argued he should be allowed to put the imperius curse on declan rice to stop him moving to arsenal and betraying his beloved hammers in summer 2023
#these boys! break my heart everytime#i knew following UK football by osmosis would come in handy#deamus#dean thomas#seamus finnigan#headcanons#ask game

Oshi No Ko Chapter 145 - My Thoughts/Analysis
I have plenty of mixed feelings about this chapter, so I suppose I’ll just get on with it. Spoilers for Oshi No Ko Ch145 below.
We open up with…Crow Girl?? Her pretending to be Ruby for the movie is so adorable that I just want to pinch her cheek. And Ruby cringing at her performance despite it being completely accurate is such a mood. I bet if most people saw their child selves do something embarrassing they would internally cringe at the sight.
And Crow Girl basically serving the fact that she’s been watching Ruby and Aqua since they were kids to the reader on a silver platter. I’d wondered exactly when she took an interest in the twins, but to know that she was watching even then…Then again, she’d already appeared in the Spica novel for Goro, so I suppose I shouldn’t have been surprised.
Crow Girl narration?? Finally some internality from possibly one of the most mysterious characters in the series. I’d pay good money to see what she thinks for so much of the series in general. I can only imagine what she was thinking of the events that happened just a few chapters ago…
“She doesn’t have the slightest feelings of awe.” To be fair, she was reincarnated into her idol’s child, speedrun Aqua’s revenge arc because you led her on that road, and then found out that the doctor she’d fallen in love with also got reincarnated as her brother. I think Crow Girl needs to wow Ruby more with something a bit more overtly magical if she wants that kind of reaction. Or just, y’know. Stop talking so vaguely all the time and say what she actually means to say clearly. Then again, that’s par for the course with this manga, so I can’t be too critical about it.
And then this page… Crow Girl not seeing Ruby as Ai but instead seeing Sarina. And then her reactions after that…the implications…
We cut to the next day, and yet another timeskip. I don’t understand why they just couldn’t have said that these scenes all take place one after another during the same day. Once again I have to wave the flag that the movie arc should’ve been segregated into the background of multiple other arcs instead of dumping it down our throats all at once.
Now this is a familiar callback of one of the first chapters of the manga! Crow Girl as Aqua looks so fucking smug. That cheek pulling impulse returns with a vengeance.
Kana and Ruby’s reactions to Crow Girl as Aqua are also interesting. Kana is definitely looking at the past with rose colored glasses. More mysterious and cute? I don’t recall any of that when she first interacted with the twins at all. If anything, she was quite dismissive of the two and only respected Aqua because she got humbled by his “acting”. Really, the only reason that Kana’s saying this stuff in the first place is because of her ego and because she still holds a torch for Aqua. I doubt she'd care about the quality of the actor if Crow Girl was only playing Ruby herself.
“But you’re nothing compared to me when I was a child actor.” This is a very normal thing to say to what she thinks is a literal child. How insecure do you have to be to be threatened by the acting skills of a literal child? Of course, Crow Girl isn’t a child at all, but again, Kana doesn’t know that. Kana’s behavior when she was a child was shitty, but now that she’s an adult that is absolutely no way to act. And because she’s just supposed to be a “gag character” she’ll receive no consequences for this whatsoever. Get this bitch off my screen, this isn’t a bloody romcom.
Ruby fangirling over Crow Girl as baby Aqua is very precious. People tend to forget but she was just as much as a brocon toward Aqua as Aqua was a siscon over her.
Aqua appearance! And he has his white star eye!!! Pack it up, shippers, it’s so Oshi no Over. I’ll be cashing out my AquaRuby stonks to live off the rest of the manga in the Bahamas.
Memes aside, it’s good to see Aqua with a single white star eye again. With how Aqua was when he’d gained his dual black star eyes, it’s refreshing to see him freer than he has been during the start of the arc. The dual black star eyes Aqua wouldn’t be this open or be cracking these jokes. Side note: Him echoing the “child prodigy” line is incredibly funny. We were so robbed in the earlier manga for twins doing cute twin things. Would it have killed the manga to have a small mini arc for the twins as they were growing up to see their dynamic better?
Crow Girl flashback??????? WHAT IS GOING ON.
Sarina???? Crow Girl is an actual crow, who could’ve known. And Goro???? Oh, Goro fixed up the Crow and that’s why she’s watching them both now! I don’t know why but the panels of the crow watching them both are very cute, especially the image where it’s standing out of Sarina’s window with a leaf in its beak.
Oh. It was there when-–when Sarina died. That is—well. I think it’s become very clear by reading between the lines that the entire reason that Aqua reincarnated in the first place is because of Sarina’s wish. He wasn’t brought back for revenge, but rather for the girl that loved him so much that she wanted to see him in another life.
In hindsight, Aqua’s purpose in his new life not being vengeance also makes sense when one thinks about the circumstances of Ai’s death logically. All that stood between Hoshino Ai’s death was a single door chain. If that hadn’t happened, then the trajectory of his life would’ve completely changed and he wouldn’t have pursued revenge at all. If Ai was a bit more distracted that day and didn’t notice the doorbell ringing, if Aqua or Ruby were more clingy to Ai, if Ai had remembered the door chain, if Ichigo and Miyako had arrived early, if Ai didn’t mention her address to Hikaru, so many ifs. Ai’s death wasn’t absolute in the slightest. Him being reborn alongside Rubysarina was. The game was rigged from the start, so they say.
“To me, you guys have always been cheeky and cute children, after all.” Crow Girl = Ai real??? Much as I’d like to jump on that theory train, I doubt that it’s true considering we saw Crow Girl active while Ai was alive. But with magical beings thrown into the mix, causality’s more of a suggestion than an absolute rule, so what do I know.
Still, for someone that’s been watching them since they were born, it’s a very cute viewpoint on the twins. She’s almost like their guardian angel, though the comparison doesn’t quite work culturally since they’re Japanese.
This chapter gave me mixed feelings, if I’m behind honest. On one hand why oh why couldn’t this chapter be foreshadowed better? The Private Arc could’ve basically set this entire thing up so it didn’t feel like it came out of left field. Ditto with showing Crowl Girl more earlier in the manga—the Private arc’s pretty deep in the manga anyway, and Aqua and Crow Girl’s first meeting is bloody offscreen. Not exactly the best way to seed out crumbs for the supernatural so late in the game.
I did like this chapter because of what it implies, though. With Aqua’s white star eyes being present—and I suspect they’ll be present for the foreseeable future until he gets traumatized by something—as well as the fact that Crow Girl was present to hear Sarina’s final words…more and more ammunition for the shipping side of the fandom. I personally thought it was already set in stone even before the events of the previous chapters, but some people refuse to be convinced, even after the latest chapters.
But aside from shipping, it’s curious that this is the second chapter in a row we’re getting some more information on the supernatural side of things. It’s one of the few parts of Oshi No Ko that I think’s been very underutilized since the twins got reincarnated, which is a shame because I find that aspect so interesting. While I do think this chapter was kind of a cop out in giving us an explanation as to why they were reincarnated, it do believe it would’ve been better inserted within an earlier arc. Perhaps Ruby reminiscing about Goro’s kindness during the Private arc, or even earlier than that. We were so robbed of Ruby screentime so much during the earlier parts of the manga.
One final note: Now that it’s pretty established that Crow Girl was once, well, a crow, I find it strange that she now has a physical body. Her deal with her vessel being born, as well as the mention of a mother of all things…that’s going to be relevant, because why else mention a mother if it’s not going to be relevant at all—especially after we’re already giving spotlight to the supernatural bits of the series during this arc.

The submitted version of Smile Force that landed me and @flannagus , as well as two other friends, 5th place for a national competition!!
This initial cut was rather rushed and unfortunately doesn’t contain audio (the song we originally intended to use would have violated the copyright rules and none of use wanted to be disqualified so we ditched it and hoped for the best)
A simple summary of the plot: In a world where three spirits run around wrecking havoc a group of mascots come in to save the day! The villains target adults and through putting them in a bad mood upset the children. Smile Force, consisting of Qubchee (cheese porcupine drummer), Oliver S. Stonks (account bird sax player), Roland Buck (horse plumber guitarist), and Vickey Buck (horse plumber keytarist), make it their sole mission to combat the forces of evil using their musical based powers and bring back the much needed good mood.
Behind the scenes stuff: The prompt we were given was superheroes but figured going with typical powers/appearance would blend in with other submissions. So instead we took inspiration from Twrp and Japanese mascots cause why not. I had already competed to some degree before and humor seems to go a long way so any silly idea was a good idea. Japanese mascots are what inspired the character designs, it helped with standing out as they wouldn’t be human, the silliness came from the fact that often Japanese mascots have rather odd combinations/roles.
A major influence was Nyango Starr, who is an apple possessed by a dead cat who plays heavy metal drums. That seemed absurd enough for a character and had the added bonus of inspiring us to give the characters music based powers. (there’s also this one futon song Nyango Starr plays that inspired the initial idea of lullaby rock song. The thought of Dragon Force music centered for kids is what made us name the hero gang Smile Force: Guardians of Laughter. The look on my friends faces when I told them the other half of the team name is a Twrp reference🤣)
Twrp lore inspired the whole fighting off dastardly haters (sworn enemies of the fun who are bent on hatering them and ungroovifying the world at large). Since the heroes would be fighting for the happiness of the children of the world we initially thought of the villains to be adults kids normally wouldn’t like. A mean teacher, a dentist, your mom. We later came to realize three random people wouldn’t really have that much of an impact on a what is in universe a global scale. So the villains then evolved into The Specters who go by Yo-kai Watch logic, basically they consist of three emotions, Anger, Sadness, and Disappointment, and by slapping a mask onto an adult pass on that negative emotion.
Back to the heroes them being mascots is rather funny to me if this were to be expanded. In universe everyone thinks it’s just some guy in costume but no that is a literal cartoon horse with a magic keytar. Anyway Qubchee came to be because flannagus suggested a porcupine while I was eating an absurd amount of cheese. The character was given the drums just cause(?) not much to it. We had a list of instruments and animals we wanted to use and one of them was a triangle. It would have originally been given to a horse mascot and be beyond overpowered (the scene I had in my head was basically with a single strike destroy a universe levels of power). The reason behind any of this was because of that one dummer that plays the buckets in the bathtub with a horse head on (horse percussionist) we already had a percussionist so we let go of the idea. I did want a pair of sorts because of Chiitan and Shinjo-kun (it’s so funny to me seeing Chiitan on the blue bird app after all this) going with otters seemed to much of a direct inspiration so instead we went back to horses. An early suggestion from a teacher was giving them everyday jobs since you know, they’re mascots, so that’s how the horse twin plumbers came to be (later people would point out ‘like Mario and Luigi?’ and while no I did think it’d be funny if they stared at the camera while fixing a sink) for the instrument by now we had 1 standard instrument and 1 not as much (the saxophone). To keep it even we gave Roland Buck (the brother) a guitar and Vickey Buck (the sister) a keytar
(the twrp references are always there)
btw Roland got his name from the Roland Ax-Synth (what inspired the design of Vickey’s keytar +the Casio AZ-1) while Vickey got her name from what inspired Roland’s guitar (the Flying V). Lastly there’s Oliver S. Stonks who was created while I was storyboarding. We had thought of making one of the members have a saxophone and I really wanted to have a bird character. The same teacher who had suggested plumber also brought up an office worker. With that my 10pm brain thought it’d be funny to make Oliver a tired accountant (because of my aunt). I had given them the tired look but a friend drew they’re version of Oliver with the swirl glasses and so we went with their everyday appearance having the glasses and then taking them off when fighting.
Visual development: Once we had the story and characters we had to figure out how the heck this was going to look like. I struggled with this a lot pushing it back till the very end (and unfortunately doing the entire production phase two weeks before the deadline. note to self never do that again). Trying to tie it all together and prioritizing our main goal of this being a childlike wonder, I landed on making it appear as though a kid had made this. That at home feel was created by using cheap material (literally every physically drawn background is crayola to some degree) some were more simple and was a plan scrap book paper sheet. A lot of notebook paper was used as well. Shots with what was meant to be comic panels were cut out black card stock. My favorite background(s) was the colorful ones used for the transformation scene. It was a bunch of cut out transparent sticky notes
I bit of a node to the album cover(?) of the song we didn’t end up using (Get A Ban Ban, the Japanese opening to one of the Pokémon XY seasons)
The entire mixed media idea came by complete accident/exploration. It was winter break, I was still finishing up the storyboard, I had a single page outline, and unfortunately got the good ol’ art block. Watching Evangelion got me in the mood to animate traditionally and one Strive animation wip later I decided the initial first cut would be done on paper (had my light pad underneath and a text book with a nice pattern)
Early on I had planned the last shot to close like a book Spider-Verse style and after viewing this whole thing as something a kid did for fun I finished off the short exactly like that. The fade into a physical object that was stop motioned to give that whole ‘we’ve just left the imaginary world’ and the pages that flip through the end are a panel for panel retelling of the events in the short. To add to it ‘Guardians’ was totally misspelled to seem like a kid wrote it (and definitely not because I was speed writing at 2am ._.) Anyway it is now currently 2am and I shall continue may rambles at another time (I do however have a little bonus)
Random stuff: Qubchee is the only one without a proper transformation, instead of a different outfit they’re sudden expressiveness contrasts they’re usually blank face so much everyone is like ‘yeah that’s totally someone else’. It wasn’t till getting ready for the national event that we brought up the fact I had never really given any of them genders(?) The only one I had confirmed in my head was Vickey being a girl and that’s about it. Roland I see as a guy and honestly Oliver gives me non binary vibes. To quote my friend ‘well they are colorful’ (they are all queer your honor) Qubchee I genuinely don’t know that’s just a lil blorbo (pats them on the head) Their names came about through a conversation with my siblings while on a car ride back home. It was fun :] Vickey has infinite pocket space and uses her tools (typically the wrench) and moves it around with her music (inspired by the brooms/mops that move around in Fantasia) expanding on her naming coming from that of the Flying V I figured she’d also have that as a nickname as I see her doing this one trick from the Daicon IV film (but with a wrench instead of a sword)
We had planned as part of the booth during the national showcase to have a cereal box prop to give the whole Saturday morning cartoon vibe (Oliver eats all the cereal in the comic on the back) and we were going to make a whole physical copy of the short, burn it on a dvd with a menu and everything, but umm… the digital nightmare struck
I will most definitely continue this project to some degree (and touch up the short and release what I guess you could call the directors cut) if your still reading thank you :] (lemme know what you think about it cause I still got loads to say👀)
(also sorry for any spelling mistakes/straight up not making sense cause again its 2am)
#smile force#animation#artists on tumblr#my art#this has my blood sweat and tears#In all honesty tho I jinxed the prompt cause the year before I thought ‘huh it’d be nice if next year was super heroes#there’s so much you can do with that but deep down I just wanted to animate Twrp in a funky comic style🤣#being the director meant I got to get my friends more into Twrp >:)#Nyango Starr showing up in my recommendations to give us inspiration worth gold#The other contestants submitted some good stuff too :0 there was one in particular but I don’t think they’ve uploaded it anywhere#oh well#ok fr this time I’ll cut off the post here

Random thoughts -that no one wants to know- while watching Impel down/Marine Ford for the first time.
ep 474 Oz is still alive? How? Ugh I know he'll probably die and stay dead, but for now it's a small relief. I also don't know yet what Luffys plan is, but at least he got behind the wall. That's a win in my book.
ep 475 Crocodile saving Ace last second!? What!? Why?! He's so cool rn! Crocodile stonks went up! Doflamingo and Crocodile talking like a couple who recently broke up, nice. I feel so sorry for Garp, ughh.
ep 476 Whitebeard casually catching Luffy. An episode that tugs on your heartstrings. Poor Garp.
ep 477 I'm glad Buggy is fine. I really need him because this war is so dark and I want to keep myself from crying. We've established that Luffy shortened his life, should be around 30 years, yea? If I recall is correctly he should have gotten the hormones to keep going three times. I don't know, these episodes are just getting to me. It's depressing.
ep 478 Coby against Luffy. Outcome was obvious from the start. But at least he tried. Luffy getting saved by Hancock again. She's such a simp :) Whitebeard is such a beast. I really want to see him in his prime. I can't wait to see Luffy being able to control his Haki.
ep 479 Everyone being impressed with Luffys Haki and Whitebeard ordering his men to help Luffy in any possible way. Lovely. Crocodile getting in between Mihawk and Luffy, saving Luffy, makes me feel things I didn't think I would be feeling. ;) Buggy saying "Buggy" as he connects his upper body with his lower body again is so darn precious.
ep 480 Garp looks quite hot in the flashbacks with Luffy. See? This is why I currently prefer Kizaru over Akainu. Kizaru fights Whitebeard, Luffy is running towards Ace, Whitebeards like "Just watch" and Kizaru stops fighting for a moment and watches and they talk like an old couple watching TV until they resume their fight. Wonderful. Mr 3 being one of the guards to kill Ace was lucky. But also my dude was comitted to killing Ace there... Then again Mr 3 being touched by Bon chans last words and his last wish is melting my heart and even though he was swinging that sword at Aces neck a few minutes ago I can't keep myself from thinking that he is a hero.
ep 481 I know the outcome of this arc, yet I still feel happy for at least this moment that Ace is free. Epic fight where Luffy and Ace fight together like they never did anything else. Buggy is scheming again. Whitebeard declaring the new era with the flashback of old foes and allies with his flag waving in the background made me cry a little.
#mr 3 galdino#one piece#buggy the clown#marine ford#vice admiral garp#one piece luffy#portgas d ace#whitebeard one piece

Brief considerations on finishing The Great:
The conspiracy theory hill I'm dying on that it was cancelled because execs mistakenly believed Nicholas Hoult was the star, when really he was just as excellent at scene-stealing as his character needed him to be.
I'll not forgive them for Orlo's arc. How did our ace king get sidelined into a relationship and then killed off without any attempt to give him the growth given to all the others? (I say growth, though really it's just as often regression that I mean. Anyway Archie, Grigor, Marial, even George to a degree! etc etc all change while still being themselves and still finding a place in the story. I don't know why that couldn't be done for Orlo). I'm not doing a headcount, but it does feel like the main cast and surrounding recurring characters were notably less diverse by the end of S3 - and now we don't even get to see whether Arkady gets a chance to grow from his brief flirtation with power.
NEVERTHELESS though that primed me to hate season 3 it was amazing. Holy SHIT the script on this baby. Utterly florid and absurd and vulgar and punching you in the solar plexus repeatedly about grief and love and loyalty and being human!!! Every time Elizabeth in particular opens her mouth I'm like 'this is bonkers but it's beautiful and it works so well!' Jenny-Slate-screaming-meme.png
Marial never did anything wrong ever. No this has nothing to do with Phoebe Fox's big brown eyes and sarcastic little smirk and stonking cleavage. (I am In Love).
ACTING. The whole cast is incredible, but Elle Fanning, babe, take it away! The range, darling! The emotion in an eye twitch, the scale of grief and depression measured in the angle of her pout, the mix of love and frustration that you wholly believe in, and her stompy, resolutely unladylike walk. And that dance to AC/DC right at the end. ;_;
Not to Marial stan on main again, but she was RIGHT, finally we were going to see an independent Catherine and those fuckers cancelled it!!
Everyone. I love everyone in this bar. They're all awful scheming fuckheads and I love them all.
Every time Grigor has an emotional breakdown it gives me life.
So many different women with sometimes complex, sometimes excruciatingly simple and/or dumb reasons for doing what they do, even the ones that hate each other find connection in surprising moments and then go back to hating each other, finding so many ways to be political and sexual and clever and so fucking stupid. Did I mention that I love them all especially Marial?
I still think it would be funny if I became a Bond villain billionaire and bought the rights to all of Georgia's TV channels and just constantly broadcast Archie's scenes without context. Hypocritical fucked up horny patriarch is here to help you re-evaluate your morals!
Small things like how Catherine doesn't really care about Paul <333 like yes ok she's wracked by grief for a bunch of the season, but even before, it's not like she's going round having a crisis about how to spend time with her child while ruling the country. The country is her priority.
I for one am glad Velementov isn't dying, and it's tragic that we won't get to see the arc where he sobers up and gives Agnes the ride of her life.
Watching this show is actually hugely frustrating a lot of the time and you might find yourself getting impatient with some of the characters when they're dithering about what to do. This is Good, Actually, because it gives room for that incredible script to breathe, and it reinforces the frustration and slow progress inherent to what the character of Catherine is trying to achieve.
I don't care about the 'occasionally true' bits of the story, as a vehicle for exploring what it's like to be a woman in power, as a way of looking at contemporary issues through a sumptuous, over-the-top pseudo-historical setting, it's an absolute banger.
---
ETA: I was right to post this before tag-diving!! Absolutely screaming at the hate for my bb girl who did nothing wrong ever. Honestly so glad I have no desire to get into fandom for this show at all.
#i meant to do this when i finished some of the others shows i watched this year like mrs maisel#but made the mistake of tag-diving first and getting dismayed at what i found#so i'm just plonking this here#because i found this show a slog and i don't know that i would rewatch it#but i am SO glad i did watch it and fucking angrier than ever about the cancellation#idk what the fandom is like on here and i'm not really making this post for the fandom so not tagging#and not making rebloggable#but for posterity: i enjoyed this tv show and i am saying so on my blog. so there.#jo enthusiing about media#the great spoilers#the great season 3 spoilers

Green time :D I’m watching Jojo
Pregame
Gosh, she’s so pretty. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest
I know green got some bad luck but I’m hoping the energy survives and thrives, I’m ready for vibes!!
Jojo stays on the grind, she’s insane /pos
I know Kara would’ve said if it was H, but I like to imagine that it was H who just showed up and offered her bacon without warning
“Maybe there are kind people in this world” Jojo going through it, don’t mind her
Pete and Jojo are so freaking funny together. They’re both so deadpan it’s amazing, I’m dying
Haha who who have past MCC teams memorized, that’s so whack hahahah (it wasn’t intentional, okay? It just happens when you run two 64-spot team brackets ;-;)
Seriously though, no one can be expected to remember MCC teams from more than one event ago, if that, including (and dare I say especially) content creators. Those are your pals and you’re at work, why would you be expected to remember who you were with on a specific day??
“Oh you’re in MCC? Name every team you’ve ever been on” so true Pete
“I could probably name every single team I’ve been in” “Weird flex but okay” “Ok, I’ll go for it, here we go” Jojo really said bet
*EEEEI* “Wait, was that wrong?” “No, I just wanted to make a buzzer sound” Pete is so real for that, honestly
“Fuck vod reviewing, all my homies hate vod reviewing” Pete only has banger opinions, sot is the only vod review you need in life
Jojo’s skin is so cute!!
Pete and Jojo saying they’re excited for Michael’s ace race
Hi Hannah!!!
I love this team’s energy
Pete saying he wanted Jesus to take the wheel and Kara appeared from the heavens
“Pinged in real life” 😂
Them making plans to go to a concert together, content creators doing actual irl friend things together makes me so parasocial
Me when I have a resting tremor and my doctor has no idea why
THEYRE THE ONES THAT STARTED THE PUNCHING??? That’s so funny oh my goodness
The best reactions to the intros ever 😂
Grid Runners
This team is so go with the flow, I love them
OH MY GOD THIS STRAT
“For team morale, any time we fail a game we need at least one person on the team that can take the fall, whether it was their fault or not. Grid runners is mine, so if we fail I’m the asshole” this is so iconic I can’t
“That was the hottest thing I’ve ever seen” so true Pete
Grid goes so quickly because it’s! the best! game!!!

Rip Kara, it’s okay, it’s crazy easy to flop when the pressure gets that bad, no worries queen <333
Aw Michael was so close too :((
“As per the law, this is my fault […] I threw- oh, I’m top 5!!” Y’all don’t understand how I’m love I am with this gimmick, green30’s blame game my beloved
I love how parkour warrior isn’t just about parkour skills, it also really emphasizes time management. It makes it more variable and interesting because it’s not just gonna be the same three people winning every time because there’s no single right way to do it. It’s now a strategy game and I’m so down for that, you don’t understand
Sands of Time
“You guys suck! I’m taking about the other teams” “That’s fine” “We suck too”

Ayyyyy halftime show!!!!! Get it ladies!!!
This is a phone flashlight moment right here
I JUST STARTED CLAPPING IRL!??!??!! MY PARENTS HAVE PEOPLE OVER 😭😭😭
Meltdown
“Here’s the plan: uh, follow me” so true Jojo
Gosh, I love this team. No stress, no rage, just “okay, here’s what we change”
OH MY GOSH
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS ROOM????
THAT WAS INSANE!!!
Kara 😭😂😂😂 the sass, my goodness
“I don’t care” Kara is so real for this, I strive to be that self-assured
“Everybody pause. Shut up now. Who?” “Where the fuck is Mumbo Jumbo?” Funniest part is that I don’t know if any of these people actually know Mumbo
Battle Box
“Everyone’s looking at me!! Oh, everyone fell. Oh my god, everyone died” 😂
Mmmm yes, tight corners my beloved /s
Prison my beloathed
WHEN DID THE GAME START???? DID I ACCIDENTALLY SKIP FORWARD AND NOT NOTICED OR WAS I JUST THAT SPACED OUT???
I like battle box, I do, I just feel like I’m never paying enough attention ;-;
Winning against red was huge, they had such good comms too
We love finding a good groove :))
Gosh the vibes are immaculate, you expect them to be super sweaty but they’re just comming in gibberish

Kara hyping up Michael’s kill :))
Rip, unfortunate spawn, happens to everyone
Pete’s tone when he said Michael’s name after he died 😂
“They need to give the chicken swap to two people and enable pvp” Pete is a genius
Hole in the Wall
The absolute sass, I love them
��It’s all your fucking fault” thank you Michael
I didn’t even realize they weren’t calling colors 😭
THOSE are the lyrics??? I thought it was “I believe” not “if I was green” lmao
Jojo flipped a switch in her brain and called the most supreme hitw comms of all time
“100- I mean, red” real
“Hey, guys? I’ll take the blame on this one” “Don’t.” “King, I’ll steal the blame from you” “I will too, I messed up” this is violating the spirit of the blame game /s
Pete and Jojo holding hands on the leaderboard my beloved!!!
Dodgebolt
“I would’ve appreciated if we would’ve like, said beforehand ‘oh hey, I’m gonna throw now’ so like, I would’ve been able to be emotionally prepared”
Maybe the real treasure was the parkour tag we skipped along the way
“Man, I even took my performance-enhancing drugs” KARA 😭😭😭
Cheering when Firecracker came and joined their screenshot, then keeping the energy when Fruit, Illumina, and 5up joined in too
Them all being so excited to team together :((
THAT SOT WAS LEGENDARY!!!! GREEN30 YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS!!!!!
They’re such bad listeners /aff
“You guys don’t listen to each other, yet you listen to me when I make calls in skybattle? What the fuck?” Pete 😂
“When was the last time we saw numbers like that in sands of time?” The answer is never, Jojo!! Y’all made history!!!
Michael stop being self-deprecating, I swear, a good sand keeper is an absolute necessity and you killed it king
GREEN30 PLATE UP!!!! I don’t know it that well but it’s such fun chaos
I’ve missed these little post-mcc chats where a bunch of people join a random channel and just talk, it’s giving season one vibes :))

While watching The Good Place clips on Youtube I feel like I gained some insight about Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Not necessarily new thoughts, but more... clarification of why we have those thoughts/feelings.
So, many people, more every day, are bored with New Horizons. Many got bored very fast. And outside of those who are just really into decorating, most people find themselves falling into unfulfilling routines that make their island feel more like a chore than a place to relax and have fun. And I think, in the case of New Horizons, this scene is insightful. (we are all Michael)
youtube
I think one of new Horizon’s fatal flaws, and this is going to sound a little weird... is that it prioritizes the player’s wants too much. Now I know, I know, “How is doing what the player wants a bad thing???” My thought process is as follows:
- We never have to experience the heartbreak of our best friend on the island moving away while not being able to do anything about it. They only go when you let them.
- We never have to experience the awkwardness or sorrow of accidentally upsetting a villager and having them not want to talk to us for a while. No one will ever get so upset that they turn you away, never being rejected.
- Everyone treats you like their best friend in the world from the moment you meet them. No one will ever be cold or distant or awkward toward you, they will always love you unconditionally.
- Money is ridiculously easy to make, whatever amount you need you can probably churn it out in a matter of days, tops, with a little effort. Or, you know, stonks.
- Progression in general is very fast, even when you’re like me and deliberately play in a slow, easy-going manner, you can very quickly fill out collections and upgrade buildings in very little time.
- You control almost the entire layout of the island. No building (except resident resources), no object, will ever be where you don’t want it to be, even the path of the river is in your control.
And again, you might look at it and go “That all sounds great!” and maybe for some people it legitimately is. But I think for a lot of us, it makes everything... “flat”. A line with no variation of ups and downs is just flat. And that’s how New Horizons feels. Without the inevitable heartbreak of your favorite villager leaving of their own volition, you take their presence for granted. Without that awkward start of a new relationship you can’t really appreciate growing closer to someone. Without the occasional sour interaction you can’t really appreciate the good ones, cause again they’re taken for granted, guaranteed. If there’s very little struggle to progress, how can you appreciate it when you do? And when you control everything, you never get to appreciate the contributions of others.
Here are some of the memories from the old games that have stuck with me over the years that sort of inform this opinion of mine:
- When Chief, a cranky villager, first moved to my town we did not get along. He was a mean old cuss who wanted nothing to do with me, and I hated him. But over time doing errands for him (cause back then that was one of the main ways to get things especially early game) he warmed up to me, and I in turn warmed up to him. And I became very fond of him, he was my wise old man friend who offered me life advice.
- When Monique moved in to my town, despite being snooty I instantly liked her. Why? Because I got stung by bees that day, and as you might know, the villagers on the gamecube could be quite mean, Even the nicer ones were making fun of my face or else acting scared of it, and yes, that did hurt my young child feelings. But then I went to greet the new neighbor, Monique. And she didn’t say a goddamn word about my face, and was comparatively polite to me. I know now that this had to do with her first meeting interaction cancelling out the bee sting reaction. But in that moment I was just happy she didn’t make fun of me like everyone else had, so I quickly developed an emotional bond with her. On top of that, in her first errand she paid me by giving me her grape shirt, which at the time was a Gracie Grace item, something I had yet to ever obtain. So of course little me was proudly strutting around my town showing off my rare High Fashion item. I also got to delight in Gracie herself acknowledging my Fashion Sense the next time she was in town, compared to her usual insults.
- In my original Wild World town Chevre was my next door neighbor and best friend. And of course, she did eventually move away. And yes, it did hurt. Probably the one that hurt the most. But you know what? I think that’s why I remember her above the others. I couldn’t tell you who else I had in that old village, but I remember Chevre, and how much I loved her, and how it broke my heart when she left. I look back on that hurt fondly, because it reminds me how happy I was having her as a friend at a time when I didn’t have a lot of friends, or good things in general.
- My favorite festival in Wild World was the flower contest, where you got I think a week to decorate around your house with flowers. And everyone did it, and the whole town was filled with flowers, and villagers were creating their own hybrids, and I was stealing them to replant around my own house like the gremlin that I am. You’d never get that in New Horizons because that requires the villagers to contribute something to the island: Flowers. The best they can do now is water the flowers you grow, because god forbid the other residents of the island try to change any detail of your perfectly planned picturesque island, right?
If Chief had been super friendly right from the start I wouldn’t have gotten to appreciate that slow warm up to each other. If everyone had simply been kind and sympathetic toward my bee sting face I wouldn’t have appreciated Monique’s relative politeness (and may have even disliked her for being snooty). If it wasn’t so dang hard to get Gracie Grace items I wouldn’t have appreciated that grape shirt nearly as much. If I hadn’t experienced the heartbreak of Chevre moving away she probably would have faded into my memory like everyone else in that town, and I wouldn’t have such fond feelings toward her. The lows made the highs feel all that higher. And the flower festival was just fun seeing what flowers the villagers would plant and then stealing the best ones for my own garden =w=
Come to think of it, similar things have been said about The Sims 4 (on top of it also just being painfully broken). It’s super easy to make money, to progress, to keep your sims happy and healthy. People have to fall back on self-imposed challenges, mods, and making up their own drama in order to have any kind of challenge or depth to the game because it’s essentially a utopia simulator, and that doesn’t make for very interesting storytelling. Great game for builders though! Hm, I’m seeing a pattern...
So yeah, that’s my take on the matter. Most of us, whether we consciously realize it or not, crave those highs and lows. And without the lows, the highs feel flat. It’s sort of like that quote from Angel...
“The wheel keeps turning. You can’t stop it. Sometimes things get worse, sometimes they get better. It’s like a song. Now, I can hold a note for a long time... actually, I can hold a note forever... but eventually, that’s just noise. It’s the change we’re listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That’s what makes it music.”
#really long rambly post that I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with#but it's been occupying my brain today

Once upon a time, this dude lived in this town called Durpington-Trollop, a really cool old place with, like, lots of those roofs made of grass and rocks on the roads and shit. He lived on Stonking Topperhat Avenue, which had no trees because they had all been bombed in World War II or something, he wasn't sure 'cause history is boring and he had to watch stupid busloads of stupid American tourists wandering around downtown gawking at some old castle or some shit, maybe it was actually a country club, who cares, it's old and ugly and all he wanted was a brand-new rowhouse that had its own bitchin' backyard.
"Hey, what's up, dawg?" he said to his friend, Oliver Crimplesnoot, who was a really, really rich guy, a mayor or something, and had twelve cars in his garage, and eight bathrooms in his big ol' mansion, and ate only well done steaks with mashed pea-tatoes every day.
"Well, I say!" Oliver said, putting one leather-gloved, delicate hand over his well-chapsticked mouth. "Whatever does that mean? You sound quite like a Yank, Bertie old chap, old mate, and I am feeling quite cumberbatched!" It was the way he talked, because he was very, very rich. He said "posh," but Bertie didn't know that word because he was a stupid, stupid American. He only knew words like "McDonalds" and "gas station" and "bodega" and "chicken nuggets with fries." He didn't even like vinegar on his fries, which had almost gotten him kicked out of the chip shop, until he threatened to come back with his 312 guns and his pet eagle, Sam, to sue them, because Americans can go everywhere. Also, his name wasn't Bertie, that was a stupid name. His name was Brixtonleigh Colt 45 Cowboy Jr., but he had a fake name because he was wanted by the FBI for being too cool for school. He was friends with Oliver in case he needed to steal one of Oliver's twelve cars. He'd never notice it was gone. He thought Jeeps were called 4x4s! It was hilarious.
"I don't sound American, you stupid - uh..." He had to think - how would they think he was actually British if he called someone "dumbass?" British people didn't know "ass!" "Stupid dumbarse," he said quickly, before Oliver could jump on his horse and ride off to inform the redcoats of his deception. "Stupid dumbarse cuntwipe," he added, remembering what one of the guys on the bus had said to him when he wouldn't get his feet off the seat. He was American, he could put his feet where he wanted!
There were zombies coming out of the alley. "What ho!" Oliver said, aghast. "I do think those chaps are the walking dead! I say, sirs, you cannot invade Durpington-Trollop without a proper permit and a TV license! I shall report you to the council at once!"
"Fuck that," said not-Bertie, then realized he'd been American again. Quick! "Uh - wait." He put his hand up, so the zombies would know he needed a sec. "Arse that? No... crap. What's the word? Sod? Sod that?"
"Sod it all, Bertie!" Oliver corrected, as a zombie began to gnaw at his arm. "Why, I do believe I have been infected. What a bother! I shall call on the shire reeve and the commissioner of the bobbies! They have no guns, but perhaps we can ring the Yanks for some! Oh, bother again, this is rather uncomfortable and not a bit tickety-boo!"
"Bugger that!" He had finally remembered the stupid words. Why couldn't the English speak English, like real Americans??? Maybe they were depressed because all their bald eagles, flags, and guns had been taken away by the king or something. "I'll be back!"
He went and jumped in his Hummer, and mashed all the zombies like British peas were (for some reason), then bought himself 85 Big Macs, 12 deep-dish pizzas with extra pineapple, 64 bags of potato chips (he kind of liked those round ones you could put on your fingers, but he refused to trust British potato chips after he'd accidentally eaten one that was prawn flavored, which he was pretty sure was a war crime and he planned to sue every person in the UK about it as soon as he'd finished being GI Joe and killing all the zombies), a can of cream of mushroom soup, a pineapple upside-down cake, and six gallons of banana pudding. Americans had big appetites, because they were all secretly, in their own heads, giant buff dudes who liked to wrestle. And go mudding. And tip cows. Shit like that.
He stood on top of his Hummer and shouted - in a deep, manly, American voice - "ASK NOT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY, ASK WHAT AN AMERICAN CAN DO FOR YOU!" Then he ate a Union Jack to show dominance.
"Are you sure he's meant to have left the grounds, doctor?" The nurse shook her head, her starched skirt rustling smartly and her curls straight from a society still unsure if their Empire had crumbled. "I thought they said -"
"Shhhh," Dr. Dimpleshmutt-Biffering said. "It keeps him quiet if he can finish his wee games. As long as he remains away from the ring-around-the-rosey road and the A-666, he should be quite sporting by tea time, and he shall enjoy his crumpet and Marmite without bother."
"I suppose..." the nurse said, pursing her lips. She did rather wish that at least once, the doctor would pretend to be the lad's imaginary friend Oliver, or a zombie, or a Nazi, or a "wild Indian," or a rabid dog, or any of the other things he felt necessary to show his dominance against. "I do hope you're right."
"I am British, old bird," the doctor said, in a very British way. "And I have a penis, and went to Oxbridge St. Pustulence, and therefore I am smarter than Americans and you."
She sniffed, but spoke no more. Really, she had rummaged rubbish from the tip that was smarter than Americans. It was rather insulting. Unfortunately, she lived in a place with no social safety net like the gloried halls of America, with private healthcare and detached houses and a chicken in every pot and trial lawyers, and so could never change jobs, because if she did, she'd have to go on the dole and live in a terraced slum with the chavs and eat only mince pies and underboiled vegetables and off-brand digestives.
The Yank raised his arms and poured root beer all over his wifebeater and basketball shorts. "MURICA!" he shouted. "FUCK YEAH!"
And all the zombies were dead, thanks to Americans, who had also singlehandedly won two World Wars, and we don't talk about any conflicts they'd been involved in after 1945, because it made Ronald Reagan sad.
The end!
#i was stuck being MARRIED to a dude from southeast england#i have earned the right to mock#but don't worry i'm equal opportunity#i'll mock MAH FELLOW AMERICANS as well#and gods save me from ever having to live south of yorkshire ever again...

JJK Men and their 🍃 dealer
Characters: Gojo, Getou, Nanami, Shoko, Toji, Choso, Sukuna and Naoya
Word Count: 1910 words
Content/Warnings: smoking mary jane, suggestive, mostly joke
a/n: vaped too much so I thought I would write some cheeky 420 head cannons
Gojo Satoru
Used to buy your weed, but now is just your friend who mooches
He brings snacks and movies tho!!
He really likes candy normally but gets overstimulated when high so he only really brings the candy for you
but then it works as back up candy when he’s more sober.
Definitely talks too much
To the point where his voice becomes low and gravelly
So you give him a pass for being annoying, cause at least he sounds hot when doing it
Definitely is the plug for his friends for a long time, partly cause he’s a troll so he hikes up the price (stonks) and he doesn’t want them to meet you.
He can’t handle not being your favourite
Eventually Getou out smarts him tho cause he doesn’t trust Gojo’s measurements
Gojo started visiting more cause of this
No being too friendly to his cute plug
The day his students grow up and eventually buy from you is the day he squares up
it quickly becomes high movie marathons with everyone tho
You're just happy cause you barely need to pay rent now, you have a dedicated consumer base right there
He would be horny high if he actually kept any braincells when smoking
He tried many times to make a move on you
but every time you start brushing his hair with your fingers, he melts and is paralysed
Jumping to anime timeline
He visits less cause his paranoia really shoots up here
So he feels he can’t let his guard down
And he doesn’t wanna drag you into anything if he were to be followed
But if you come to his place
or even better you were also a sorcerer
He would feel less on edge
Your safety is his priority
Now that he’s older, this is where he can actually use his horny high
He just feels so lonely that he needs the touch, and it helps more than his normal womaniser ways, cause he feels the connection with you
Thus he is also very romantic and soft
He will act no further than this unless you work to build the relationship
The power is in your high ass hands
Getou Suguru
150% stoner
always was, always will be
so he is your top client
Gojo might always try to be around but he’s always not buying, Getou however always does and pays in full, sometimes more
Not to say he’s efficient about it, he’s also over all the time too now
So its just you trapped between the two watching movies
They try to act like they wanna watch horror, but they prefer romcoms tbh
His tolerance is so high so he has much respect for you supplying everyone and feels the need to pay it forward
Weirdly it still doesn’t feel transactional tho, he would make ways to create a day out or even be really domestic like getting groceries and making dinner
He is defo high the whole time tho, for him its like cigarettes to shoko
But not that you notice, no one really could tell the difference between high or sober Getou
Every time you think maybe you’ve just always been dating? When did you stumble into a 4 year relationship?
Until he sends in that money and leaves with a tap to your butt/hip/thigh
Its hard not to be heart broken
He however knows what he’s doing
Not that he likes it
at all
He smokes to help with his depression, it quells his thoughts
So he keeps a weird boundary as he feels you deserve much better
he really cares about you
Still smokes after betrayal
He also cuts down visits cause this tho
but buys a shit tonne when he is there
And when he’s there he just feels like a husband
Treats you very well
If you aren’t a sorcerer, then you’d be the only one he respects, no calling the plug a monkey
His assistant supplies the money the day before, so you always know when he’s coming
Spoiler!! Even kenjaku is still stuck getting weed, the body he has chosen it cannot function without it
You don’t get to see him anymore though, it was replaced by the patch face guy but quickly the girls he used to raise would be around a lot but sometimes disappear to deliver to imposter getou
The hasaba twins honestly get adopted by you
Kenjaku could not give less of a shit
But Getou is so grateful they are with you, even from beyond
Nanami Kento
super rare
He only really smoke for chronic pain
You just know mans has hurt his back and neck in his lifetime
definitely sued for workplace injury
So you help with his unofficial pain management treatment
He always bring a pastry with him :))
Another barely noticeable smoker
You can only really catch him if you do something sweet for him
Like make him cute edibles!
He’s so touched that he will let out a laugh
It melts your heart
absolutely would not let the students smoke until being of age
Doesn’t try to scare them from weed
Mans thinks cannabis propaganda is the worst
But still wants them to wait till there minds are more developed
Is the best tactic cause they agree and also don’t wanna let him down :,)
Never around when Gojo is there
Gojo must never know Nanami smokes
Low-key Gojo is the reason why he is so passionate about the students
Saw Gojo become the dumbass that he is from smoking with Getou in senior high :///
But also highly thinks Gojo was always destined for being childish
Will eventually start bring you a cute plant or flowers cause he likes how excited you get
Shoko Ieiri
I reckon her cigarettes are defo mixed, she is not just smoking tobacco all the time sheesh
Lowkey she actually helps you grow
So her pay for helping sm is legit just some of the green
Best business partner
Really is attached to you
She will reverse curse technique you all the time
She doesn’t want you getting hurt!!
Will always check on your lungs cause of that too
definitely kicks out Gojo
Everything she says is low-key flirting
She can’t help it
Sometimes will bring Utahime and have a girls night!
Helps Utahime destress a bunch
Toji Fushiguro
THIS MAN
THIS THIS THIS
THIS TIKTOK!!!
absolutely your dilf client
Is incredibly sweet in that older gentlemen kind of way
Will call you only nicknames, you start to think he doesn’t know your name until he tell you off for not getting enough sleep and calls you by your full name (dad mode sheesh)
Will gush about his kids
Even when he’s left them
It’s really the only place he lets himself talk about them
It doesn’t help ur dilf radar
He will absolutely help you with house stuff as a tip
Car needs oil? Plumbing need fixing? You wanna set up a on-wall spice rack?
He got you! And will take off his jacket that exposes his way too tight shirt!!
Suddenly you have a lot of house maintenance
It makes it incredibly cute tho! Dream house done
Lowkey hopes that you will see his kid in the future
He knows that he’s definitely lost a bunch of his life span after losing his wife
also lowkey knows it won’t be natural death
A reason why he’s very distant from you tho
He cares from afar
You don’t charge him as much
But he somehow pays over, saying something like he’s got enough and doesn’t need it
definitely only ever comes on his motorcycle, mans defo does not use his car if he even has one
Means that he sees ur car as his tho
He’s fixed it up sm might as well be
Left his jacket behind often
When he stops coming around of nowhere, you don’t clean out his cigarettes butts as well as always replace the cologne he left once and keep the jacket wrapped around the driver seat
You also always keep the zippo lighter he left
Its death penalty if any tries to take it
After a while you get what has happened, probably the only person left who cares and mourns
Choso
he gives always high but actually pretty sober
Doesn’t smoke rly
But does like edible teas
Keeps him mellow
Perhaps starts smoking after his brother’s pass tho
He mourns extremely deeply
It helps him not have panic attacks about it
He often talked to you about them
Wishes you could have met them
When he adopts Yuji, he always brings him
Lectures him about it tho
Lets Yuji bring a console
So its often all three of you versing in Mario kart
Doesn’t let Yuji make fun of your character choice
Absolutely roasts and destroys Yuji for his character choice tho
Is a king boo main
definitely lays on you when playing games
Tends to rub your legs then too
Is very oblivious to flirting
Thinks you are just super kind
Would marry u on the spot tho
especially when you make a hella good tea that helps him sleep so quick
Heals his insomniac heart
Ryomen Sukuna
never sober
NEVER
Will not be caught lacking like that
The world would not exist if he was sober, the destruction he would bring
Loves just always chilling with his pipe
In the golden age
He was kinda respectful ig
He hated the process of finding a new dealer so kept you around and treated you equally
Didn’t know he did that
He was just a sorcerer, people dubbed him king of curses before being a curse
You didn’t see much point in fearing him
It helped him decide you as a dealer
He did not like anything complicated and legit just wants a stable supply
so Its not his fault (yes it absolutely is) when he developed deeper feelings shush
You unbothered
Sukuna very bothered
Would question why you are different from all he other people he sees as below him
and that did infuriate him when the answer was not good enough
So mass havoc before hoes
Starts sending Uraume in his stead
Sometimes it would still be him
And you would not be able to spot a single difference, he seems the same as before
He is never generous, but never stingy
another thing he respects is
you aren’t unaware of the drama about him
but you also never react differently
Not surprised at all when 2 arms become 4 and one face becomes two
That only makes his stupid heart beat more sometimes
you aren’t running from the hills? not that he’s self conscious, he knows he’s hot
he’s just ahead of his time
people only run screaming from jealously, not cause of his murderer tendencies
When he is exorcised, the village also hunts you down
See’s you as complacent so you are killed off
Thus, reincarnation in the current era
He recognises you instantly
But he has yet to see some reincarnate perfectly like that so he’s quietly side eyeing
Can’t help to question if it was fate
Only human he’s nice to
Will try and do subtle things to test if you remember, or even just see if personality lines up
Cause it definitely feels exactly like your soul
Weirds him out
everyone else is weirded out for entirely different reasons
you weren’t apart of his localised story so
no clue why you are oh sis special to silence the Ryomen Sukuna
Makes Yuji suss of you until he makes you his bestie for making the nasty shut up
Your backstory is absolutely untraceable to anyone
So who knows if the villagers even were successfully in killing you, or maybe your curse technique allows you to bend time or maybe there’s absolutely nothing going on up there in that noggin of yours
Either way he’s intrigued
Naoya Zenin
the worst
Just don’t
Interaction with him is terrible = if he does smoke, let his maids deal with that for him
Not worth it

TWO AND A HALF DEVILS AU (part 1)
Time for a bit of a rundown for this au (read this post to get the full context). It ended up being quite long, so i will write out the main events of this au in few parts:
Astaroth the Supreme Time Devil is off his shits trying to find a way around the hellgate to get into the human world. This guy has not slept for the past 3 days and downed like 7 monster drinks or whatever the hell equivalent of those is. Megicula is the unwilling audience of his batshit crazy rants that sound borderline like conspiracy theories.
“So after I figure out how to rip my soul and my magic away from each other I should be able to pass through the hell gates easily. Now, I know what you’re gonna say. ‘Astaroth but what will you do in the human realm without any magic?’ and the answer to that is you know how humans contract us to use some of our magic? Right? What if I instigate a faux contract with MYSELF to summon my own magic which would’ve been left behind in the underworld? So then-”
Megicula meanwhile is looking at him like:
And then, because Astaroth is a master of bullshitting his way through things IT FUCKIN WORKS…to some extent. His ass is now physically manifested in the human world, but it’s relatively unstable. Man can barely access his own magic and cannot stay there indefinitely.
Enter Licita.
Licita accidentally stumbles upon this motherfucker in the forest and is not impressed. Their interaction looks a little like this:
“Do you know who I am, human? I am Astaroth the supreme time devil! You better learn to fear me!”
“Oh yeah? In that case Mr Time Devil, can you tell me what time it is?”
“Uhh…that’s not how my magic works”
“I dunno, sounds to me like you’re just bad at your job”
So my girl Licita ends up roasting this guy to hell and back and then she gives him a pocket watch, and tells him that he will most likely need it more than she does and then calls him “A devil of fuck-all”. Astaroth is smitten to say the least.
Unfortunately he is physically unable to stay in the human realm for long periods of time, so his ass does eventually ‘dissolve’ if you will and returns to the underworld. The watch that Licita gave him is now his most prized possession and he takes it with him.
Fast forward a bit and Astaroth has been consistently manifesting in the human realm to become a full time simp and try to get Licita’s attention. Hage deadass had to get used to the fact that there is a devil roaming around, who is constantly being chased away by Licita with a broom. As per original post Licita does end up giving in and sleeping with him, believing that he was only after one night stand, while Astaroth is already planning their wedding. Fast forward a little bit more and what do you know? Licita is pregnant and my man Astaroth has been blessed with them stonks. So not only do they have a shotgun wedding, but Astaroth also convinces Licita to go through a devil marriage contract, which essentially binds Astaroth to her forever and it also stabilizes his manifestation in the human realm (magic is still very limited, cause bitches really can't have it all).
So now you got Astaroth quitting his job as supreme devil in the underworld to be a full time househusband in the countryside. This man has successfully learnt how to knit and he is about to make it everyone’s problem. He is getting ready to have the best dressed baby in all of Hage.
When the baby is born it comes out looking entirely human to everyone’s surprise. Just a split image of Licita. She does end up taking pity on her simp of a husband and names the baby after him. (Yes, this does mean that Asta’s actual, legal name on his birth certificate is ‘Astaroth Staria Junior’ and it literally never gets mentioned by anyone. Yuno doesn't even know what Asta’s full name is until they register for the magic knights exam).
So my man Astaroth now has a baby that he dotes on and he constantly goes around the village telling anyone who will listen (as well as those who won’t) about how cute his baby is. So the village does end up getting harassed by a devil in a way, if you can count aggressive updates on a baby’s developmental milestones as such.

Howdy Senpai! How are you? I wanted to ask if you can write something simmilar to profesor Geto but with Gojo? Or at least some headcannons with him, bcs, damn, shit so spicyyy
I’ll do headcanons for himmmm :) and these are gender neutral
(taking these courses from a local university lol) Gojo would 100% teach medicine, maybe genome sciences, immunology or just some really complicated ass medical shit lol. Other courses include pharmaceutical bioengineering, speech and hearing sciences and some kind of business course because stonks📈
His courses are deceptively hard as fuck lol you think he’s gonna be an easy A but nope that man has you fucking grinding your ass off just to get above a 70% on some weekly homework
He explains things like they’re super fucking easy and everyone should know them and you have to just sit there and hope something sticks
He’s fun tho he lets you watch movies on Fridays because he gets lazy being such a big brain the other days out of the week
Is never in his office during his scheduled office hours you can literally never find him anywhere on campus except for when you don’t need to see him
The dean quite literally hates him and tells students not to take his classes but Gojo is on a fat fucking tenure there’s no getting rid of him
Plus he’s hot
Does not care about being ‘fair’ and if he has a favorite student(s) he’ll let that shit be known
It’s the worst kept secret on campus that Gojo regularly fucks his students(or anyone on campus that’s DTF really lol)
He typically goes for students that are gregarious, sociable with everyone and easily suck up any attention he gives them
Because while Gojo may be a chatter box, he never bothers to remember a students name, so when he calls you by your first name when you pass him in the hall with your friends, that’s all the sign you need to know you’re his new favorite
If he sees you struggling in class, he’ll slip you the answer key to the next big exam when he gives you homework back
If there’s a student chatting you up, they’re mysteriously moved to the other side of the room or better yet moved to a different timed class entirely
If he sees you drinking coffee he’ll whine and ask why you didn’t bring him one!
It’s painfully obvious he’s desperate to fuck when you actually find him in his office when he’s supposed to be there and not his TA
He's leaning against his desk, legs spread and arms crossed on top of his chest, just waiting for you to step closer so he can grab you
and he does, you willingly fall into his trap like a good little student :) he forces you to grind against his thigh, get you all flushed and hot and bothered while he holds your wrists tightly and kisses your neck
He just might make you cum from riding his thigh before actually taking any clothes off
Like a gentleman, Gojo keeps a small pillow in one of his desk drawers to put beneath your head while he fucks you on the desk😂
100% has you walking out of that room with your underwear stuffed into his back pocket and his cum dripping down your leg(but only after he’s fingered it back into you a few times)
This becomes a regular occurrence too, getting fucked on his desk, and if you’re really special he’ll take you to the apartment he has close to campus and fuck you there too
And you’ll pass his class with flying colors! Sure you might not have really learned anything because he’s put a remote control vibrator up your ass during a couple classes, and he’s given you the answer keys to literally every single assignment and exam he’s ever going to give, but that doesn’t matter! You got a 4.0 from the hardest classes on campus!
And you’ve probably fucked a few other professors as well - with Gojo present of course

yknow what screw it, cym jasper edition
except im super late lol
so!!!
(under cut bc i talk a lot)
CYM: FAVORITE MEMORIES
@im-shifting-to-the-moon - astronomy class last year. you seem just so cool and a vibe, kinda like my teacher. he was really really cool!
@lilytek - going to my grandmothers farm. she used to have this huge farm, and had a flower garden. she would take me to pick flowers and i always made sure to pick some of my faves, tiger lilies!! (even if i have seasonal allergies, lol)
@lil-shifting-shit - watching superhero movies with my family. we are a huge marvel family, and it was fun to watch and analyze and theorize with them! plus just,,, they look cool.
@chaos-bb - main memory im thinking of is watching the entirety of gravity falls in one sitting. it was so nostalgic and fun to rewatch it!
@shifting-lark - since i associate you in general with water, i would have to say my fishing trip with my grandpa and brother when i was very young and woke up at (iirc) 5:55 am?? i kept catching the same turtle it was very fun, would go again.
@poppythewitcher - talking with my sister in law about the witcher. she was so interested in how pretty it was, but couldnt get past the tutorial. bonus memory! my chemistry teacher making me listen to the witcher 3 (i think?) soundtrack in class bc i was listening to the red dead 2 soundtrack. chem teacher was so cool he was the best.
@gen-is-shifting - so idk why but??? catching every legendary pokemon in alpha sapphire with ultra balls only. also playing pokemon x and meeting xerneas,,, it was so cool??? serotonin levels said stonks
@shifting-soot - listening to mother mother in the rain. i cant explain it but. mother mother in the rain, whilst drawing. plus just,, anytime i watch dsmp bc the serotonin,,,,
@shifting-inspos - psych class this year! my teacher was so so cool, and i had so much fun with everything! most favorite part was getting to talk to this one girl about certain brain functions.
@shifty-bandit - okay this one needs an explanation. so i was hosting a dnd session, and my gf was playing a tabaxi rogue, my one friend was playing a dragon type, and my bf was playing a tiefling. my friends character was a bitch, so my npc was gonna try to poison them, but he used milk. so my gf, being a cat, takes it and drinks it. she then almost dies bc of her failing her 3 saving rolls. i let her live tho bc it had literally only been,,,, not even 30 minutes.
@peachshifting - after my grandfather died, my grandmother got remarried in 2012-ish, so like 8 years later. but then he died. but the second husband isnt important. my grandmother had moved in with him, and they had a cute lil peach tree in the side yard, and when she had too many, we would eat some then, and also bring them to her neighbors.
@romeshifting - buying phoenix wright for the ps4 to play with my bf, and then passing out before we even finished the first trial. in my defense, it was very late! but, it was fun! plus watching phoenix wright with my gf while mildly sleep deprived!
#not shifting#shiftblr mutuals#cym#i just wanted to revisit good memories lol#very self indulgent#please let me know if you wanna be untagged!

thank you for the tag @kuriousaboutuzumakis !!
Rules: List 10 things you are thankful/grateful for that happened in 2021:
1. This was my first full year out of school / a very rigorous exhausting program that left me with... 0 sense of self (WHOOPS). So I started watching TV again which sounds silly but I hadn’t watched full shows in their entirety for years! I forgot how nice it was to just curl up on the couch and become a potato.
2. In the same vein as being freshly out of school, this was the first year I had the bandwidth to do a lot of the Adult Things that I had procrastinated doing while in school! Finding a local dentist / primary care Dr / etc. I was a wreck in terms of my health and had previously just not done any routine checkups (lol) so this was Big for me!
3. More health stuff-- got blood panels done! I was miserable and had just assumed I was physically healthy bc I was running long distances each week and that all my misery was caused by mental health problems. Finally got nutritional blood panels done and it turns out I’m deficient in like everything related to mood! This tracks, bc I generally eat like an unmanaged 13 yr old boy, but in some ways it was a big relief to know part of my current condition is “fixable” via food and supplements when I had just assumed it was my baseline state.
4. Made a bunch of Fancy Adult purchases. Got myself a really nice mattress and a really nice bed. And bookshelf. And other unnecessary things to turn my apartment into something that resembles an adult habitat LMAO. It is very nice and light and airy and exactly my aesthetic which feels Good.
5. Started crocheting again! I’ve made a couple of things that I have given away. Working on a blanket for my grandma now.
6. Once I was vaccinated, I started hanging out with friends again! Board game nights and museum trips and lots and lots of boba. Went to a halloween party and slept on a friend’s floor bc we were too drunk to make it to the beds HAHAH. Embarrassing but also feels nice to have these early 20s experiences.
7. Started reading books! In school I took a bunch of lit courses but I had stopped reading books for pleasure rather than study (of course books for study can be pleasurable but not exactly in the same way). I read like a book a week this year which felt Utterly Luxurious given my previous lifestyle.
8. Started saying no to things when I knew they would impact my health! I used to be the kind of person who would work through the night (I still am, I did a bunch of those this year lol) but I’m getting better at looking at the time and saying, alright I need sleep more than I need to get this done. I am still working on this lol. Working on cutting work off once the weekend starts and keeping my work computer Shut through Saturday and Sunday.
9. Setting financial goals! I wish this was something that is discussed more but I understand why it isn’t-- it can be very stressful and private. But I built up a several month emergency fund for rent/food if I ever need it! Also contributed big chunks to multiple retirement accounts and got it invested and learned about stonks which was both Stressful and Empowering! As someone who doesn’t have a good relationship with my parents and who cannot rely on them as a safety net (bc honestly, we all will need safety nets at different points in our lives), it was very important that I do this for myself to feel safe!
10. I adopted my cat in 2020 but I spent this year relentlessly spoiling her. She is a brat and a tyrant and I couldn’t be prouder.
Tagging (im sorry if u have already done this, I haven’t been online in forever and might have missed it): @birkastan2018 @sleepyfoxfanworks @heyitswrenn @bl1ndbraavosi @gleafbb @x-cloud-x

a stupidly long list of oddly specific and irrelevant jared kleinman headcanons that Just Make Sense to me
SUCH a cat person. always gives cats shitty excellent names (such as Dog)
he unironically listens to bill wurtz’s music (the guy from the history of the entire world, i guess)
absolutely rages while playing any mildly competitive video game, to the point where evan has learned to just let him win if/when he gets to a place in between tears and insanity
is an active redditor, much like will roland! also has gotten into several fights with people on reddit over very random topics (which wrol hopefully has not done but it wouldn’t surprise me tbh)
hates cucumbers for some reason
remember that post on here about the couple that went on a date and watched the lobsters fight in the tank? yeah he does that with himself sometimes
thinks stonk memes are the PEAK of humor but also misses early 2000s memes (actually, the stonks one is just me projecting)
does finger guns way too much (me too)
played soccer when he was in first-second grade and literally has not willingly engaged in sports ever since
probably a slytherin?? idk I’m not sure actually I’ll get back to you later on that one
is lactose intolerant but still eats ice cream in small portions sometimes just to say “fuck you” to dairy
he puts noses in his emoticons :^D (shoutout to my favorite deh fanfic that I stole this hc from)
held a mock funeral when vine died
has stretch marks on his stomach and thighs and is super duper self conscious about it
cries at almost all pixar movies and only pixar movies
once shoplifted $40 worth of random shit he didn’t even need just to prove that the security was bad
really enjoys salt and vinegar potato chips and once ate a family sized bag of them in less than half an hour
has a blob shaped scar on his right leg that he claims was caused by shrapnel from some weird freak accident involving a grenade but actually he accidentally set fire to his front lawn when he was eight and burnt himself
makes youtube videos of him going through old tech shit in his garage or something (this is based off a video on the deh yt channel whoops)
is either ridiculously good at baking or completely dreadful at it; I’m conflicted on which one suits him best
perhaps the most controversial: novel!jared is probably straight (might have questioned his sexuality in high school though), previews!jared is gay as FUCK and has a crush on evan (listen to the fucking DC script and tell me he wasn’t crushing I dare you), and bway!jared is,,,, actually who knows what’s going on with him
this post got kinda long my bad
#I didn't know where I should put these so here they are#when you're a jared kin he takes up a lot of your brain what can I say#I'm sure I have more but these are all I can think of rn#help me#jared kleinman#dear evan hansen#dear evan hansen memes#deh memes#will roland#sky lakota lynch#jared goldsmith#evan hansen#I typed this on my computer and I’m just realizing it looks weird on my phone whoops my bad
