#i think i will cry during the reunion tho

[fivefeetfangirl]

just how can you read this in front of your family i was crying sm during the last chapters

there is unfortunately a thing called family vacation, one room and its raining outside. so not much choice lol

[amozon28]

ok while i do think the game version of the reunion hits harder, and ive listened to the podcast and totally understand why they did change it, and ive already addressed that in previous post, here i want to make a post where i talk about the aspects of the scene that i really really do like because they are different.

-the way the ellie just screams in absolute terror when Joel grabs her, she has reached her limit, she has relied on her anger to keep her focused during this entire episode and here after what happened with David she is completely shaken and she just cant, so she screams and screams in fear and its heartbreaking

- how because of the brightly lit scene and how the camera focuses on both ellie and joel you see how the moment ellie starts screaming joels face changes, everything happens a bit fast so i missed it on the first watch but on the second watch you can see pedros face go from relief to terror because he knows something’s wrong as she screams for him to get off her.

-gosh how incredible GENTLE joels voice is, its quiet and soft and so so so comforting, how as soon and he gets her to turn around he gently gently gently cups her face, ugh.

-Craig and Neil said this and i agree the stark contrast of the pure white snow against ellies 14 yearold child face absolutely covered in blood thats not hers, just cementing her innocence being ripped from her.

-how ellie cant even string a sentence together, how she doesnt even cry into joels shoulder, how instead of crying she whimpers, how you can almost feel her shaking in his arms? im devastated

-how joel immediately gives her his coat

-how after the hug ellie she doesnt cry in relief instead she looks completely shell shocked, her stare is blank and distant, after fighting and fighting and fighting to stay alive she doesnt have to anymore and so she shuts down because everything she just went through is too much.

while the game version actually makes me tear up and i do wish the show version had let the hug go on a little longer i do really like a lot about this scene, it is beautiful and amazing but it doesnt make me cry. its still incredibly beautiful in its own right tho

[oh-no-its-bird]

Wait, if Houhua was a manga reader does he even know who Izumi is?

She was anime only from what I remember.

Also I think in the anime there were Uchiha outside the compound during the massacre. Obito was at the police force while Itachi was at the compound.

Oh my god great point actually, he does NOT know shit ab Izumi (tho tbf do we even get told much about her? I've never seen the anime myself)

Everything he knows about his "character" he knows from the systems vague character description— which is to say basically nothing other than the fact that he's supposed to be """close""" with Itachi

Wich. Also actually brings up a question if Houhua realizes he's supposed to be Itachi's childhood crush / vice vera. Actually.

That's so funny actually oh my god, Houhua has a full pass on simply never realizing Itachi might have a baby crush on him when they're kids, it just never occurs to him. He finally realizes and has an entire fucking heart attack about it for all sorts of reasons, starting with "oh my god a fucking maniac has a crush on me" (Houhua never read up to the Itachi reveal) and ending somewhere around "oh my god this antisocial toddler is into me"

Just had a revalation: Is Itachi Houhua's type?

In SVSSS, we're literally directly told that SQH created Mobei Jun based off his "ideal man" and. Like. I mean.

I'm kind of looking between MBJ (antisocial ice prince trope with tsundere/yandere tendencies, serious communication issues, and a distinct elegant air to him) and Itachi (antisocial ice prince trope (when younger) with tsundere/yandere tendencies, swrious communication issues and a distinct elegant air to him)

Guys.

Guys I think Itachi might be like textbook example of Houhua's type.

I've seen a lot of interpretations of how MBJ looks, but if u go with the relatively popular really pale skin and black hair interpretation, does that mean that's also a color pallet that Houhua's attracted to? I'm gonna fucking cry, actually

I suddenly need Houhua to realize all of the above, probably after some dramatic reunion post-massacre or smthn, and have a mental breakdown ab it

He continues to have the worst taste !!!

Sasuke realizes Houhua finds his brother hot and has an even bigger, louder and messier mental breakdown about it. Thanks Houhua!

[minijenn]

Getting a lot of asks about my apparent plans for UF2 based on the old chapter list, so I went through and wrote out everything I could remember for these chapters based on only their titles and the very sparse handful of notes I still have on hand. Enjoy!

Arc 1: A Wheel in the Woods

Prologue: Welcome to the Universe: Idk, establishing a bunch of behinds the scene shit particularly with Homeworld I guess

Chapter 1: Back to the Falls: Reunion, everyone coming back to Gravity Falls and meeting up again

Chapter 2: Journal 4: Dipper starts writing his own journal (Ford probs gives him a blank one) ala what the end of Journal 3 implies

Chapter 3: Prior Engagement: Soos and Melody get engaged?? I think?

Chapter 4: Gravity Falls Noir: A Noir mystery story idk about what tho, mostly for fun

Chapter 5: Film Festival: Everyone teams up to make short films for a film festival

Chapter 10: A Wheel in the Woods: The gang fucking discovers that goddamn triangle's statue and they're all fuckin scared

Chapter 10: Trust No One: Idk Bill gets freed somehow but he's not as powerful as he used to be

Arc 2: That Will Be All

Chapter 11: Fusion Foretold: This one was gonna be fun! So a group of magical creatures, pixies I think, saw Stonipbel fighting during Weirdmageddon the previous summer and believe them to be a prophecised hero, without knowing they're just four kids in a tall trenchcoat. Hijinks ensue

Chapter 12: Back Into the Bunker: Return to the bunker, this time with Ford and Fiddleford, basically a flashback on how Rose and the Gems helped them build it

Chapter 13: Summer Snowfall: Fuckin snows in Gravity Falls, its basically just swinter iidk winter hijinks

Chapter 14: Monster Shack: Return of the Monster Falls designs idk how I just wanted to see them again, would have probs featured Monster Stevonnie, Maven, and Stepper bc im obsessed

Chapter 15: Revenge Tour: Stan and Amethyst up to illegal hijinks again, this time roping Wendy and mabel Lapis in?

Chapter 16: A Shoulder to Cry On: Steven/Pacifica fusion, Connie and Dipper are jealous little shits

Chapter 17: A Pines Bros Mystery: Flashback chapter adapting the chapter of the same name from Lost Legends focusing on the young Stan Twins

Chapter 18: Steven's Dream: Same as the show, the gang goes to fucking Korea I guess (said gang including all four of the Pines)

Chapter 19: Adventures in Light Distortion: More or less the same as canon

Chapter 20: Gem Heist: Hinjinks in the zoo, the zoomans also think stan and ford are hot along with greg imo deadass they're right

Chapter 20: That Will Be All: same as canon this time featuring Stonemason foreshadowing

Arc 3: Wanted

Chapter 21: The New Crystal Gems (temp): would have had a name change, same as the ep but featuring Pacifica, Wendy, Soos, and Fiddleford filling in for the Pines, hijinks ensue

Chapter 22: Room for Ruby: Fuckin little shit comes to earth, only Stan and Lapis are able to tell she's sus as fuck

Chapter 23: Tie the Knot: I think this was when Soos and Melody were gonna get married???? Yeah UF2 was gonna have 2 weddings lol

Chapter 24: Alternate Ending: Same as the ep, Steven imagining what it would be like if he did have a sister bc he's a lil jealous of Dipper and Mabel's dynamic

Chapter 25: Alone in the Woods: Something Dipper and Lapis related??? idk

Chapter 26: Doug Out: Same as the show more or less, Aquamarine and Topaz fuckiin around

Chapter 27: Brotherly Shove: Stan and Ford focused, probs would have resulted in them both getting captured by Aqua and Topz

Chapter 28: Are You My Dad: Same as the show, more GF characters captured alongside the SU characters

Chapter 29: I Am My Mom: Same as canon, but with Dipper and Mabel getting taken to Homeworld with Steven and Lars, would have also included Stuck Together

Chapter 30: The Trial: Same as canon, more implications of Rose being a Shady Bitch who worked with Bill in the past; ends with Dipper pulling a self sacrifice essentially so Steven and Mabel can escape, thus officially kickstarting the Stonemason arc

Chapter 30: Wanted: Mabel and Steven desperately trying to find a way to save Dipper, Lars fucking dies, Maven maybe shows up? The kiddos go home and break the bad news that they're now one short oop

Arc 4: Stonemason Unmasked

Chapter 31: Within Without: Aftermath of the Wanted arc, Pines family is a fucking mess, not even knowing if Dipper is still fucking alive; Steven is a guilt ridden disaster

Chapter 32: Gemcation: The gems take everyone on a trip to try and both cool down and strategize; Stan and Ford get into a fight bc they're stressed, everything is bad

Chapter 33: Kevin Party: More or less same but Kevin wants Stevonnie, Maven, and Stepper at his party (lol kinda impossible for that last one atm imo); Mabel runs into Gabe Bensen at the party and tells him to fuck off, feeling guilt once again for the events of Sock Opera especially now that Dipper is gone

Chapter 34: Shipping and Handling: I think this was gonna focus on Pacifica's feelings about Dipper being missing? Was probs gonna be sad as fuck tbh this entire arc was

Chapter 35: Lars of the Stars: Same but with Mabel trying to convince Lars and the Off Colors to take them back to Homeworld so they can look for Dipper; they don't get far before Emerald attacks tho

Chapter 36: Jungle Moon: Same as before but this time it has a subplot with Mabel being lost on her own on the Jungle Moon, and her first encounter with Stonemason (she doesn't realize who he is yet)

Chapter 36: Sweater Sewing: Gang is back on earth, more focused on Mabel's huge well of emotions about missing Dipper, writing him letters so she can fill him in on everything once they find him/her doubting if they will

Chapter 37: Mindless Education: All our remaining MK have Angst for days and fusion aint gonna help them work through it this time, basically, the MK aren't complete with Dipper ahahah

Chapter 38: The Assassin: Stonemason officially arrives in Gravity Falls and fights the Gems (they still dont know who he is yet)

Chapter 39: The Mask: Second encounter with Stonemason, ends with the dramatic face reveal ahahaha

Chapter 40: Stonemason Unmasked (p1 and p2): deadass just retelling how Dipper wound up as Stonemason in full, introduces Amber and shows how he lost his arm, was conditioned/brainwashed, etc. Was gonna be told as a series of vingette scenes

Arc 5: Break the Chain

Chapter 41: Show Yourself: Reactions to Stonemason's real identity, failed attempts from the Pines and the Gems to basically break Dipper out of the brainwashing I guess

Chapter 42: Deep Cut: Outright fucking war between the Stans and the Gems basically with the Stans blaming the Gems for what's happened to Dipper and Steven and Mabel trying their best to get them to reconcile and work together

Chapter 42: Lullaby: Probs Stonemason focused, showing that Dipper is still in there and is trying to break free but cant bc of YD's conditioning

Chapter 43: Puppet Strings: Bill fuckin returns after like 40 chapters, absolutely taking advantage of this fucked up situation to try and broker a deal with Steven. it doesn't work. Yet

Chapter 44: Crash and Burn: Stonemason attacks Gravity Falls directly, without the mask which will have huge repercussions later

Chapter 45: Forever Together: Maven focused; they go off on their own to try and track down Stonemason, probably having an emotional breakdown or two along the way

Chapter 46: Don't Let Go: Possibly Lapis focused??? How the whole Stonemason thing is impacting her (not well)

Chapter 47: Burnout: Everyone fucking just hits rock bottom unsure of what the fuck to do

Chapter 48: A Final Farewell: Essentially that oneshot I wrote that one time, Amber sending the Gems and Pines a message from Dipper that encourages them to keep going

Chapter 49: Hide and Seek: The gang finally captures Stonemason and restrains him but they have no fucking idea how to help him

Chapter 50: Find the Key: Potentially calls back to both Dreamscaperers and RMD, with Steven and Mabel going inside Stonemason's mind to save Dipper

Chapter 50: Break the Chain: They fight Stonemason in there, break Dipper free, and he's back yay! but he's a lil fucked up actually lol

Arc 6: Rise and Fall and Rise Again

Chapter 51: Yes, My Diamond: Aftermath of Dipper struggling to fully break out of the conditioning ahaha angst city babyes

Chapter 52: The Golden Rule: I have no fucking clue something Stonemason related I guess, maybe the reveal that he's still runnin around inside of Dipper's mind and isnt actually gone like everyone thinks he is

Chapter 53: Blackout: Also don't know about this one, I guess its like emotional reconcilation from other characters?

Chapter 54: Your Mother and Mine: Finally getting back to SU eps, learning about how Rose started the war

Chapter 55: Pool Hopping: Garnet has even more angst bc boy howdy she did not see any of this Stonemason shit happening and she is hella guilty about it but at least she adopts a cat imo

Chapter 56: Raising the Barn: Lapis wants to leave now that Dipper is back, Dipper begs her to take him with her so YD won't find him and control him again; she says she's going to but doesn't imo fuckin ruins her relationship with her son nice going idiot

Chapter 57: Legend of the Dragowl: Dipper sad about his mom leaving, basically finds a cool dragon/owl hybrid in the woods and its basically HTTYD from there as that becomes his pet (names her Luna, she's cool)

Chapter 58: Save the Light: Adaptation of the SU game, Hessonite (who was involved in the Stonemason process) comes to earth and wooo boy everyone wants to beat her shit in

Chapter 59: Knock, Knock: Something something Bill I think? I have no fucking idea

Chapter 60: Rise and Fall: Imma level with yall i Have no fucking idea what this arc ender was gonna be; probs more Dipper angst? That sounds about right.

Chapter 60: And Rise Again: ^^^ Ditto

Arc 7: Dimensional Duel

Chapter 61: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: Stepper, my sweet fusion son, returns after being away for so long as Steven tries helping Dipper recover emotionally but oh boy it doesnt work

Chapter 62: Alone Forever: Something else having to do with Stepper, idk what

Chapter 63: Rifts and Memories: More Stepper bc we can never get enough, probs plenty of RMD callbacks

Chapter 64: Open the Door: Ok yeah this one was def Bill making his full comeback, possibly using Steven as a pawn

Chapter 65: Twinning: This was an AU chapter but I honestly couldnt fucking tell you which one imo

Chapter 66: The Home in Homeworld: This was supposed to be the Crystal Falls AU chapter but then I swapped it over to UF itself and then also never wrote it so this is just redundant

Chapter 67: Mother Knows Best: Water Mom AU! Makes Dipper feel even worse about his Lapis being a fucking negligent runaway!

Chapter 68: The New Mystery Kids: Time travel into the MK2 future, old MK meets new MK its very cute and wholesome

Chapter 69: The One Who Watches: Axolotl introduction, idk what else besides that

Chapter 70: Portholes: AUs collide, basically a bunch of various AU characters from all the AUs we've seen fuckin Interacting

Chapter 70: Dimensional Duel: More of that ^^^ But there's fighting involved??? They all beat the shit out of Bill???

Arc 8: Change Your Mind

Chapter 71: Can't Go Back: They find Lapis on the moon, her and Dipper fight bc what else are they gonna do; Lapis still doesn't go home oop deadbeat mom over here

Chapter 72: A Single Pale Rose: Pink Diamond reveal and also the reveal of the deal Rose made with Bill during the war for her Gem

Chapter 73: Now We're Only Falling Apart: Reactions to the reveal; basically the same as canon as we learn more about Pink becoming Rose

Chapter 74: Reconnect the Chain: Stonemason (who's still in Dipper's head) and Dipper decide to reconcile their differences bc they're mad as fuck that they went through all this bullshit for nothing and decide they're gonna allign to a mutal goal: shatter all the remaining diamonds (except steven for obvious reasons)

Chapter 75: The Question: Rupphire engagement, cutie pies

Chapter 76: Made of Honor: Bismuth angst, fully bringing her back into the CGs (remember she gets unbubbled during Weirdmageddon but she keeps her distance from the CGs out of shame)

Chapter 77: Reunited: Rupphire wedding; Blue and Yellow come to Earth, big fuckin battle and they discover who Steven is

Chapter 78: Legs from Here to Homeworld: Shit awkward as fuck bc the Pines wanna fucking mutally murder Yellow for obvious reasons lol otherwise same as canon

Chapter 78: Familiar: Steven angst with a side of Dipper and Stonemason angst ahaha

Chapter 79: Together Alone: Stonipbel at the party, cute until it isn't; fucking blaze through Escapsim bc that episode sucks

Chapter 80: Battle of Heart and Mind: Dipper/Stonemason try and spectacularly fail to shatter Yellow, the others find out about his plans and are mix of semi supportive (the rest of his family) and not supportive at all (Steven bc he wants to heal the corrupted gems and that cant happen without Yellow) (so basically we get a fight between Dipper and Steven hahaha oh no where have we seen that before)

Chapter 80: Change Your Mind: Confrontation against White, even more dramatic than the actual episode if you can believe it

Arc 9: Ursa Major

Chapter 81: Back Then: Basically adjustment to the post CYM status quo, corrupted Gems are being healed and the MK all finally feel somewhat emotionally OK but there's still an arc left of this shit sooo

Chapter 82: Meet the Pines: Pines parents arrive in Gravity Falls for a surprise visit and are shocked to see what utter hell their kids have gone through; they ultimately decide to let them stay though when they realize just how happy their kids are here despite everything

Chapter 83: The Call: Bill fuckin around one more time, plotting to fuckin just destroy everything out of sheer rage alone; something something Axolotl

Chapter 84: The Unknown: I dont fucking know msot of my plans for UF2's final arc are very hazy

Chapter 85: Without Within: Dipper trying to find a way to make Stonemason his own person bc they've become friends?

Chapter 86: Glow Gem: Something to do with Steven idk what though

Chapter 87: Encore: I dont fucking know

Chapter 88: Sixty Degrees Come in Threes: Was gonna be Bill's backstory until Book of Bill came along and made me look stupid

Chapter 89: The Axolotl's Chosen: So in the Adventures in the Multiverse chapters of UF, the oracle tells Ford that the Axolotl has a "chosen one" that'll take Bill out once and for all and impliies it to be him but it aint lol its Dipper bc this kid hasnt been through enough already fuck

Chapter 90: Ursa Minor: Something something remnant trauma Dipper has not just from the Stonemason thing but shit Bill did to him like RMD and Sock Opera but still deciding to fucking end that motherfucker anyway

Chapter 90: Ursa Major: MK vs. Bill you know how it goes

Chapter 90: Polaris: That stupid motherfucking triangle finally dies for good

Epilogue 1: Mystery and Magic: Cool down from the climax, lots of cute interactions and character moments

Epilogue 2: Of Pines and Gems: Peaceful final resolution, conclusions, foreshadowing to the Movie probs with a scene hinting at Spinel idk

[theintrovertbean]

Because yeah, I saw it. Am I traumatized? Slightly. Did I feel grossed out? Absolutely, but only because I hate slurping sounds. Do I still think about it? Yeah. Yeah, I do. But I've probably read books worse than this (for educational purposes, unwillingly.)

Please don't take this seriously.

The Arcana Main 6 watching Saltburn

Asra - The only reason they started watching is because they heard Murder on the Dancefloor somewhere. Shook when they realize that it's not a cute movie about gay romance. Still kinda fascinated by it. Dances along to Murder on the Dancefloor at the end.

Nadia - Genuinely concerned because this woman is the definition of a rich girl. What if someone tried to hurt her or her family? Sneaks out at some point to give her family a call and ask if they're okay. This is the first time they've spoken in years btw. They have an entire family reunion during that call that lasts three hours.

Julian - Keeps asking questions during the entire movie and makes comments about why fucking a grave is bad for one's health, how unsanitary it is to slurp someone's cum flavored bathwater, etc. Gags audibly and covers his eyes, then he peeks through his fingers, squeals, and then covers his eyes again.

Muriel - Just wants to leave. It's a wonder that he even showed up. He might leave if it ever becomes too much for him, tho. When it's over, he asks if he can go home.

Portia - With one hand she's covering Pepi's eyes during the inappropriate scenes. With the other, she's covering her own. The next day she keeps thinking about the movie while baking a pie.

Lucio - Screams "eat the rich" throughout the entire movie. Doesn't realize that he also counts as rich. When Portia tells him, he starts crying. Three minutes later, he's back to screaming "eat the rich." Makes suggestions about how they could've made the movie more disturbing. Asra might dance along at the end, but Lucio is the most likely to do it naked.

[descendantofthesparrow]

Hi I'm sorry hope I'm not bothering but what are those Aus u were talking about they seem really interesting hope I'm not bothering u can ignore ofc

OH YOU AINT BOTHERING ME AT ALL, i did ask in the tags for someone to come ask me cuz i need to talk about it BUT HERE WE GO

so! the poyw invitation au! now you may think its an "oh a (y/n) from our world goes to that universe and ends up in the storyline somehow~" NOPE ahahaha!!!!!! its a full descendants poyw au! either taking from the og storyline or the rewrite AU, (y/n)/rose gets sent home one day(after she married Harry). Either, her key stops working, or shes now home again with no way back to the descendants world, right back where she started(though she does keep the items shes gained, like her rings, necklace, n maybe a sword idk). Still, around-lets say....idk at most 10 years later, after doing a DNA thing for funsies, she finds she suddenly has a family from England, and her newly discovered cousin Oliver has reached out~!! like Evie, she goes to meet him and he talks about the Devilles and that big ol wedding, (y/n)/rose mentions knowing a Deville once but his name was spelled Devil but pronounced De'vil (ahaha yes funny funny). Oliver is just like...okay cool(and slightly sus he don't know why tho) and invites her to the wedding for an Alexander family reunion

(y/n)/rose agrees, cuz something tugs at her ear to tell her to go(sounding a lot like that one goddess who pulled way too many strings to make Harry/rose possible) and eventually ends up at the new carfax abbey, soon seeing *drumroll* Walter~ who looks exactly like her fucking boy Harry Hook, and boy does he look-actually surprised to see her.

some high-jinks ensue with (y/n)/rose snooping around trying to figure out why this dude looks exactly like Harry/Thomas Doherty and ends up finding a hall that has Walter's family portraits on them. two of them include two very familiar faces, Cj and Harriet hook.

(y/n)/rose figures shit out quickly and makes a quick comment on one of their old friends during the cocktail party thing and Walter corrects her about something (pulling a lil abu trick like Jasmin did) and winces as (y/n)/rose gasps about catching him right in a lie! cuz holy shit Walter's Harry fucking Hook!!!!

after a long explanation,(with crying from Harry cuz he's dramatic/extra) its revealed Harry got sent to (y/n)/rose's world with her, but ended up way back in time due to a mix up, thanks to a technicality due to when Harry should've actually been born if the whole neverland/Auradon necromancy thing didn't happen, so he's way back in time before anything Disney has even been imagined, and makes a deal with some witches for immortality, becoming a vamp.

Harry now thinks (y/n)/rose will be scared of him, he's a monster now, one without a soul, but (y/n)/rose is that bitch and has killed for Harry too many times to count now and is just "dude, i killed ur dad for you, and his entire crew-plus some random ass fucks who threatened you. you really think some blood drinking gonna scare me off?" Harry just laughs as (y/n)/rose takes his face and kisses him stupid, the two soul mates finally reunited after so long.

anyways, at this point-it separates from canon and just has the two having a time as if they were never apart-Walter/Harry tells the families/the brides some of the truth and that (y/n)/rose happily accepted his proposal(even tho the two were already married n (y/n)/rose still wears her rings) Viktoria is...Viktoria, Lucy is Lucy, and (y/n)/rose is still that bitch; her and Harry soon starting to try to figure out how to get back to their world, getting even closer than before in the process(if that was even possible)

dead ass-this last bit is-fully stolen/borrowed from @sessediz's version of the invitation, but after (y/n)/rose n Harry/Walter take their vows(again) and (y/n)/rose takes his blood, Viktoria attempts a coup but uh-girly wasn't expecting the fucking balls (y/n)/rose has(being one to even make Gaston shake in the knees at the sight of her, girlies fucking THAT BITCH) and (y/n)/rose, either with her new vamp stretch or her skills(rewrite /rose is immune to magic, which in turn would make her immune to the blood pact thing so-she stays human but completes her end of the deal) takes Viktoria down with-too much ease(i think i made (y/n)/rose a bit of a mary sue but i do what it want plus, for real, Viktoria prob doesn't know how to actually fight, if it came down to skill, Viktoria would be a goner-did you see how her and lucy fought? those two have never actually fought someone in their life)

after being asked why Viktoria attempted such a coup like this, she tried to justify herself with how (y/n)/rose made Walter soft, how weak he's become over the years. Harry just laughs, his eyes gleaming red with the remaining madness curse that never truly left. "I'm a villain kid darlin'" his accent comes back out at this point, dark and rough like the child of hook he really is "this is all jus' childs play, got boring after a while-ye know?"

anyways-of course Viktoria is taken out due to her treacherous act, and while (y/n)/rose n Harry still figure out how the fuck to get home, they take care of business (like firing the racist ass butler and taking up different prey than the servant class cuz like the fuck?) and (y/n)/rose is implemented into the house, either as a vampire or a human that was unaffected by the pact(magic immunity has its perks) so-how this would end, would either be them going home, or them staying in (y/n)/rose's world as the Deville's

also-yes (y/n)/rose bullies Harry over his new last name SO FUCKING MUCH

"YOU STOLE CARLOS LAST NAEM YOU DOLT"

"NO I FUCKING DIDN' IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE"

"YEAH FUCKING RIGHT"

anyways there would be so much more to this au than i said here and if i did ever write it-it would be a lot better than what i explained and make more sense but-ye

OH and totally the reason why (y/n)/rose is suddenly an Alexander is so because of Persephone pulling strings, she just cannot let her otp be separated for longer 

[therhythmafterthesummer]

Hello my dearest rhythm, I am back with my (still messy) thoughts on FPS part 2 🥹

First of all, i had to reread it cuz the first time that i saw it was after a day (or days) of hectic training when i just wanted to shut off my brain but i saw that u updated and my whole world sTOPPED, i swear i held my breath and thought i was hallucinating the new part 😭 i’ve been waiting for it for so long and it’s definitely worth it 🥹😭

I might babble a lot about it so if anyone hasn’t read it, pls don’t read this cuz it will have spoilers 😭

I WAS NOT PREPARED TO EXPERIENCE THE CONFLICT IN HIS HEAD WHEN THE REVEAL HAPPENED 😭😭😭😭😭 literally, i was holding my breath,, i wanted to cry too 🥹 MY BABIES, why should the world make them meet like that 😭 they just wanted to love and be loved huhu i hate u (i love u so much pls i know it hurt u too). Knowing everything that was going on in his head, gosh, I’m so crushed. I want to hold him and tell him it’s okay because he didn’t know it was her 😭 akshjsdjjdskbsjsjx

“The fact that you wouldn’t take his life puzzled him. How could you not want him dead? After all that had transpired, why wouldn’t you?” ——BECAUSE I LOVE YOU GOD DAMMIT 😭🤕🥹 

“and if you’d been fine with it, he wanted to ask you to move in with him.” —nO WAIT STOP PLS,😭 i’m beyond wrecked and i haven’t even gone thru half of the story yet.

The flashback to their first date 🥺🥺🥺 i wanna scream. Knowing how both of their lives were filled with chaos, them being able to find peace and comfort with each other is just sooooo wholesome. WHICH HURTS EVEN MORE WHEN I REALIZE ITS JUST A FLASHBACK——brb gonna go sob in a corner. “If I tried to kiss you… would you let me?”——😭😭😭😭😭i love love love how they get so spontaneous and relaxed with each other. I love how you wrote about it between the lines of their stressfully calculated and rigid line of work 🥹

3 freakin’ months of no contact 😭 i wonder what happened to MC then. Although you did write a bit about her forfeiting her mission and also, technically, her spot in the Guild, I wonder what she was thinking after everything. Three months is a (kind of) long time, and I guess like Chris, she would’ve been wondering all of her what-if’s. Did she ever think about contacting him too? Did she ever considered his side of the story? idk i’m just hurting with them at this point.

—i’m gonna skip the reunion but just know that i screamed and held my breath and punched the wall and banged my head on the desk and— yeah

The honesty and vulnerability between them is just so pure. The way they both pined for normalcy with each other is just *chef’s kiss* 🤍 i love them so much, it hurts how much shit they went thru even before they met 🥺 i’m not gonna spoil much about the rest of the story but i just want you to know that i loooove how you wrote them. Their stories feel so real to me and their emotions were very well conveyed. I love how the story went and, to be honest, i don’t think i mind the ending being open as much as I initially thought. (tho i wouldn’t complain if ur brain lizard decides otherwise— 👀)

Aaaahck my babies 🤍🖤 thank you for publishing this new part!! I hope you have a really nice day :> hugs!!

~🍓

plssss this is so detailed kjfhsdjfshfdkijsjikd

that whole first scene recounting the reveal from his POV hurt me more than you can imagine. every time i sat down to write this story i felt like my heart was being squeezed (which was exactly what i was looking for sdjfhskdfh). Chris really just wanted to have that bit of peace he had with his girlfriend and it was ripped away from him ))):

as for what happened on the MC's side during those three months... i'm sure she almost called him several times, but, just like Chris, i don't think she was ready to face him. she had hurt him and tried to kill him (before she knew it was him, ofc), so she probably had to process all that, plus the fact that she couldn't finish her mission at all (which i'm sure was a whole different problem in itself). essentially, both her heart and her pride was hurt, and, honestly, if she hadn't heard those people talking about picking up her failed mission, i feel like she wouldn't have reached out at all (or at least not that "soon").

everything that happened at Chris' flat after they met again was very therapeutic to write for some reason??? idk, i feel like i was able to let a lot of feelings out writing this story in general, so i'm glad some of those feelings were conveyed well.

i really wanted to leave the ending a bit open so the reader could interpret what could happen next. they could run away together, one of them could retire, Chris could try to get the Kims to pardon her, or (for those that want a bit more angst) maybe you can even imagine she is deceiving him still, trying to fulfil her goal and that's why she came back... the possibilities are endless atp haha. all i know for sure is that i wanted to end this story with them together, so i did!

thank you for reading this, and for your thorough feedback. i'm glad you liked it💜💜💜

I am back with reports for 2x01! I really apologize for how insanely long this is but he took me for a ride. We started off strong with him walking in, sitting down with a soda opening it and cheering to the sky and going ‘let’s fucking go!!!!!’ Hits play, sees the opening where Mikey pops up, hits pause, looks at me and goes ‘where the fuck is the boy?! I want the boy! This is bullshit’ when it showed Brian he went ‘ahh there’s one of the boys..oh no he’s not good. This is bad. Where’s the boy? I need him’ Then the Britin in the hospital scene popped up, he literally paused it, hands up in the air screamed ‘THE BOY!!! HE LIVES!! HES ALIVE! OH THANK GOD I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU YOU BEAUTIFUL FUCKER! HELL YEAH. And brian is there!!! LETS GOOOO! HE VISITS EVERY? EVERY WHAT? TELL ME! Why not? Brian why do you hate me’ Immediate next reaction to Mel,Linds and Deb where they talk shit was ‘man fuck yall, he was just there! I saw him with my own two eyes! I may be a little high but i know what i saw! I only took the light shit so far!’ NOW THE SCARF! THE GASP HE LET OUT! first he did say ‘stop being creepy’ to Mikey. And then THE GASP! ‘HES FUCKIN WEARING IT UNDER?! HES BEING BLOWN IN THE CLUB WHILE THE BLOODY SCARF IS ON HIM? OH HE IS NOT OKAY! HE IS ALSO IN LOVE! OR SOMETHING! I mean i know its love but he’s clearly still in denial’ The Britin reunion? First of he was so sad about Brian being drunk, kept saying why tf doesnt Mikey realize how bad it is? My favorite quote was ‘I know hes not okay and ive known him for 23 episodes, how can YOU not MICHAEL?! Hm?’ And then the reunion? ‘FUCK YEAH AGAIN BABY! I AM WINNING WITH THIS EPISODE!!’ He was so fucking sad during the loft scene. Oh the joy of having my brother scream for the second time ‘HE DID SEE YOU!! EVERY SOMETHING, THE LADY DIDNT FINISH THE SENTENCE! BUT HE SAW YOU EVERY SOMETHING! I SAW HIM MYSELF! WITH MY OWN TWO EYES!!’ ‘He doesn’t remember the prom?! HE DOESNT REMEMBER THE DANCE?! THE JEEP PART?! GONE?! GONE BC OF THAT LIL BITCH WITH A BAT?! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE OKAY IF HE DOESNT REMEMBER BEING KISSED BY A GUY IN HIS SCHOOL WHERE THEY ALL BULLIED HIM FOR IT?! HOW?!’ And then Brian shared his memories and when I tell you my brother paused the ep and walked away. Came back, sat down and went ‘i no longer think i can ‘lets fucking goooooo’ this, this isn’t fun anymore’ Worthy mentions afterwards: ‘no more david??! Yeah! fuck you and your bone cracking business’ ‘oh he’s gonna see him again!! I take it back what i said before: LETS FUCKING GOOOO AGAIN BABAY! I AM HAPPY! THEY ARE BACK!!! *makes claw like hands and shakes them* THEY!’ ‘okay i dont like her but girl, how can you be shocked she doesnt wanna marry you? That was embarrassing for all three of us! Why did you make me witness it?’ ‘Brian showed up in court! See! If he didnt care he wouldn’t show up to stupid court! I should know i tried to get out of jury duty once….i failed tho’ ‘he got his ass glued to the toilet..you know what? Good for Brian, he deserves this’

The end scene was my favorite thing he said, it actually made me giggle bc it was so accurate. So it was them tossing the ball and Jen pulls up and he pauses it and goes ‘oh no, this doesn’t have the right vibesssss. Brian is here. And Justin is here. And they’re being cute. So this means that whatever is about to happen with them is probably going to hurt me. *looks at me in shock* why am i saying probably? Oh God, this is gonna fucking hurt’ Jen delievers her lines and my brother goes ‘EVERY NIGHT! EVERY NIGHT! WHY ARENT WE TELLING JUSTIN THIS?!…JEN! Girl! That was not chill at all! You are ruining my vibes jen. Why would you say that to him while he looks like that?’ And then in a high pitch almost cry sound goes ‘but he caresssssssssss about him Jen! Jenny! Jenny jen! He cares! Cmonnnn I’m sure we can come to an agreement all three of us together! Cmon jenny jen! I know you saw how he had to swallow to say he cares! IT WASNT HIS FAULT IT WAS THAT DUDES! He’s sad and pretty and you’re gonna be mean to him? In front of me? NOT CHILL JEN! NOT CHILL AT ALL! You ruined the vibes, whatever the fuck they were..oh fuck, i need my meds!’ And when Brian drove away, he went ‘SIR! If you don’t make a U-turn right this fucking second! HOW DARE YOU NOT MAKE A U-TURN! YOU careeeeee! I care! He cares! We all careeee, so why do i have to suffer bc of a woman in a blazer’ that was followed by a pause and him getting up, taking a pain killer looking at me and going ‘this is going to be a bumpy fucking ride, now excuse me I have to go outside for no particular reason’ he then went to the front door (he had me worried there ngl bc he is only days after very serious surgery), opened it up and just stared out. Now i do have a neighbor and i heard her say ‘hey __, you okay?’ And he went ‘do I look okay to you? I am having a horrible time’ and then he closed the door, went back inside and called our mom again. Like I said, rollercoaster. Except they give you acid before getting on the ride.

Oh my god. Dear sweet anon, you are doing the lord’s work. Thank you for this detailed report. I think the evidence points to “straight cis men: not so different” because maybe he uses different words “let’s fucking go baby!” but his reaction is all of us. Whether it’s cringefail marriage proposal to hating David to his devastation at Justin not remembering prom to SCREAMING AT JEN to noticing the SWALLOW (and the look up oh god he looks to the sky and it is everything) before Brian says that he cares about Justin to screaming at Brian for sacrificing himself for what he believes is in the best interest of Justin.

His point about Brian showing up to court and trying to get out of jury duty and how this means he cares takes the damn cake.

I love your poor neighbor and what is she to think with “do I look okay to you?” and your mom who is getting these phone calls from her fully adult son beside himself about two fictional characters from 20 years ago.

Brother Anon, welcome to the fandom.

[zhongrin]

OKAY MY GOD HELLO I'M BACK FROM REPLAYING THE P5 VN I NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT DETAILS SO I GUESS I SHOULD PUT A SPOILER WARNING??? FOR THOSE WHO DECIDE TO PLAY??? IDK HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE YOU RELEASED THE GAME BC I FOUND OUT YESTERDAY LMAO

//spoiler warning for the P5, P5R and fanmade visual novel//

I'm still a bit giddy so forgive me for my crappy attempt of explaining my feelings properly lol (but then again, it's kind of your fault for making such an amazing game 🥹)

First things first, thank you so much for your GOD-SENT walkthrough 🙌

There were so many parts that I had to pull up the settings menu just to recompose myself LMAO I didn't even have to touch my cheeks to know they were about to go up in flames from Ren's smooth flirty lines 🙈

That scene???? That we go to the post cultural event??? I LITERALLY HAD TO GET UP AND GO TO THE BATHROOM TO SPLASH MY FACE WITH WATER BC I WAS LOSING MY DAMN MIND OVER HAND HOLDING???? AND REN'S BLUSHING HAPPY FACE AFTER WE TIGHTEN THE HOLD OF HIS HAND???? I READ SO MANY NASTY NSFW FICS AND YET I'VE NEVER FELT SO EMBARRASSED OVER HAND HOLDING 🙈🙈🙈

DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT SCENE WHICH REN KISSES OUR HAND AHSYYDUEHSBBS I FELT SMOKE COMING OUT OF MY EARS 😩

AND THEN IT SHOWED HIM SAYING "You're going to be the death of me" 🫠🫠🫠 I'M SO WEAK AT SMOOTH FLIRTY GUYS LOSING THEIR COOL BC OF HIS CRUSH 😩😩😩

AND THE FACT THAT THIS GAME ISN'T EVEN VOICED AND YET HE HAD SUCH AN EFFECT ON ME?? THE POWER OF YOUR WRITING JESUS CHRIST

During the time of his disappearance, even though I knew Ren was gonna come back this time , I still cried like I did in the bad ending 🥲 and during their first reunion as well 🤧

I absolutely loved the affection heart thingy (I forgot the name lol) and how each day the description changed! When it showed "You're down bad for him. So bad." I related to that in my soul 😆

Playing your game was quite a ride bc I've never played Persona 5/P5R, only watched some gameplays (and not even of the full game since atlus has that weird rule 🤡), so many things at the end were a big surprise for me (like that whole alternative dimension thing and the red haired girl). That didn't affect my enjoyment tho! On the contrary, it's making me consider buying the P5R now that it's released on switch 😆

Throughout my gameplay today, each day that passed and scene that happened, I kept thinking "please don't end here, I want more 🥺". Don't get me wrong, the ending was so cute and sweet 🤧 I'm just really addicted to this vn and don't want to leave RenRen 😆 I can't wait to play the GE2 tomorrow!

i am sobbing. crying. laying on the floor. i wanted to hoard this ask so bad but that wouldn't be fair to you. ironically, even as a writer, i can't express this feeling in words. so have all these instead:

Sleep With Me Live Blogging

My first Filipino show. I would’ve thought it would be Gaya Sa Pelikula since it’s held in such high regard and I’ve had it in my To Watch for so long but idk, I wanna try this one.

Ep 1 (Sept 3)

wow I don’t have this downloaded but am using my data to watch it during lunch because of upgraded phone plan data. such luxury

[Linguistics] Interesting language experience tbh. I’m not fluent in any of the EA/SEA languages of the shows I watch but I have some understanding of Korean and I’ve watched enough shows in Thai, Japanese, and Mandarin that I have a grasp of the cadence as well as some nuances/honorifics/some basic words etc. However, I have no experience with Tagalog (I assume that’s what they’re speaking) so I don’t know any words/honorifics/cadence etc BUT they’re only speaking that like half the time. The other half is English which I’m fluent in. So it’s a strange experience where in Korean I might be understanding 30-40% of what Im hearing based on my level of Korean and my inferencing skills but here, I’m understanding 30-40% completely clearly (English) but not at alllll of anything else. Also spanish? but idk any of that either

This is really good so far, I’m engaged in the story and curious about what’s gonna happen. This ep was mostly about Luna and her sleep problems/break up with ex/being emotionally available and apparently not a good friend

Ep 2 (Sept 3)

Harry is gonna look through her ex’s stuff in her free time for free?!

so are they siblings? or just roommate-friends

lmfaoo bitchy girls are your type, dumb boys are your type. i love you gay lesbian friendships

rip the guy’s gf treating Harry like a little zoo attraction

okay, Kai is indeed Harry’s brother. glad his crush likes him lol

ahh cute cute cute I was on the bus while watching but my feet were like tapping bc i couldn’t react otherwise (and i was smiling big, that’s an advantage of masking fr)

This ep focused more on Harry, I was indeed hoping that we’d alternatingly focus on the girls

Ep 3 (Sep 3)

kinda losing my mind at how Cute their endearing their awkward and fumbling interaction is. why does it feel so real omg

ahh Luna’s situation of being told to exert herself more when she’s already trying hard and has a sleep condition is so frustrating

Wendy’s so cute doing her homework on the shelf

ahhh Belle being at the restaurant and revealing that Harry actually hated the place before omg esp bc it’s not PWD-friendly

ooh kiss! even tho it’s very chaste

Ep 4 (Sep 4)

omg it’s starting with sex scene but I can’t see shit bc of the sun in this bus and also I don’t want other people to see my screen lol

lol the pants scene

ahhh bringing down panties is crazy

Oh, is Luna noticing the ways that Kai helps Harry + Belle has in the past helped Harry and wondering what she can do/how she can measure up

ahh, Luna so cute with accidentally saying i love you and then rolling on bed + Harry teasing her a bit about it the next day

this time Harry wipes Luna’s mouth

Ep 5 (Sep 4)

the penultimate episode angst and breakup nooooo but they set it up well so that we could see the points where they are struggling to meet in the middle/places of tensions/situations that went wrong etc

the breakup scene was sad af

Ep 6 (Sep 4)

plsssss I love Luna crying about the breakup to Wendy while drinking and Wendy laughing at her

ah, they're going on with their lives separately and with new/old friends (Wendy-Luna is sooo fun).

cute little reunion and circling back with the giggly convo at the same restaurant + "wanna go on a date with me?"

I think it’s so interesting how Luna has mentioned a few times caring for Harry or not being able to and Harry is like wtf don’t think of me that way because she’s averse to being seen as a charity case/burden/dependant who is fragile but Luna has followed it up with we all need care/need someone to worry about us.

Overall:

A great introduction to Filipino media for me! It's short (like 2 hours total probably) but didn't feel cramped, the girls were fleshed out individual characters and I enjoyed seeing them come together. I also liked their relationships with other people like Luna's fun friendship with Wendy + Harry's dynamic with her brother. They were both disabled in different ways and we saw how it affected their lives both with the outside world but also with each other. Very cute and endearing, felt very natural.

Rating: 6.5/10

 🔥- What first drew you to Rengoku Kyojuro/Tanjiro?:

I think it was the iconic sleepy scene on the train for me. I didn’t read the manga previous to watch the movie, so that moment caught me off guard the first time like: ”h-he..he’s rlly sleeping on his shoulder? that peacefully?? omg??!!11″ After how awful was the Hashira reunion with Tanjiro, and then he is sleeping like this on his shoulder, Kyojuro being also so relaxed with him like didn’t bothered him at all. What can I say, I’m weak for sleeping scenes between characters, couldn’t stop myself to not ship them instantly ♥

☀️ - How did you watch Mugen train for the first time? (In theaters, at home…):

I watched it at home. Now I regret soo much not going to watch the movie in theaters back then. I was kinda overwhelmed with KNY while everyone else was all the day putting big spoilers of each chapter, so I watched the series 2 years later I think, when people stopped with the spoilers & relaxed a bit.  I saw the summary of Mugen Train in theaters with the Season 3 first episode now! Maybe it’s not the same but I was so happy n crying while watching him on the big screen. I also buy the DVD on christmas so I could rewatch it again in European Spanish (? 

⚔️ - More importantly, did you cry when Rengoku… yknow… died lol:

I knew the spoilers. I knew what was coming.  But I was crying like no end. Seriously, I got devastated. The last moments my eyes were so wet with tears, my vision was blurred

❄️ - what are your feelings about Akaza? Was he an effective villain in the story? Do you like him in AUs?:

Okay, I need to be very honest with this. I despised him. A lot. 

I was bitter towards him, because I was so angry that he killed him like that, I hated the killing donut style like in Jojo is very common. I also was mad as hell because I think is just, so unfair. He was about to win actually, but because Kyojuro was previously drained from saving TWO HOUNDRED PASSENGERS & having to use lots of his stamina while the train derailed. If it wasn’t for this, he would have been more than ready to kill Akaza. 

I keep being bitter about it when I readed n heard ppl telling me things like “he was so weak lol” “Akaza contained himself during his fight with Rengoku (Not true)” “He’s the weakest Hashira” bla bla bla. 

But, well, yes, everyone who told me about Akaza’s backstory were right. In the end, I couldn’t stop being so sad about him. I found him the Upper Moon with the most tragic, cruel and saddest story, very logical to turn him a demon. Rewatching his scenes after the fight with Tanjiro & Giyuu, it made more sense about his vision of the weak and why he was that amazed with Kyojuro’s fight spirit. I think he is the only Upper Moon who was inconsciously more related with his human past, like how his combat style was the same, his names attacks & even the snowflake were called after fireworks because his memories of his fiance. And his decision of not eat or fight women, every detail of Hakuji is still on him, that’s what I love the most and I find it very interesting. Thanks to that, now I can finally say he’s my favorite Upper Moon but not forgive him for what he did to my beloved Kyo. He even spend his fight with Tanjiro talking all the time about Kyojuro. Boy, he was THAT horny on main for this man. Can’t blame him tho. He’s more of a Rengoku simp than me. I like when he’s the same as obssesed with Kyojuro in AU’s, wish they could write him being jealous over Tanjiro’s crush on Kyo or viceversa more often </3

💤 - what are your feelings about Enmu? Was he an effective villain in the story? Do you like him in AUs?:

I like him! He’s one of the low ranked demons I think I like the most. He could have been very powerful if he had eaten that many people, the fusion idea with the train was good actually. But he did the villain stupidest thing: sent random minions do his dirty job. Don’t see him that much in Au’s but is hilarious on Kimetsu Gakuen as a pervert guy with a weird fetish with trains LMAO

❤️ - what are your favorite kind of RenTan stories? (Canon, Rengoku lives, modern… etc):

-I love the Rengoku Kyojuro Lives tag, best thing ever that keeps me giving serotonin. ❤️ -I like canon divergences where they can interact while the canon story progress and Tanjiro living in the Rengoku state as he’s training with Kyojuro as his tsugoku. If the story makes them have slow burn, sexual desires, first time, love confessions, and hopefully a happy ending is my favorite thing.  -To be honest I’m very picky with Modern Au’s, specially with Rengoku-sensei. I don’t like when is a college AU but not like Kimetsu Gakuen, when I read Rengoku as an American history teacher is...weird. Can’t read any fic like that sorry (?  What I like in modern Au’s is Baker Tanjiro + Teacher Kyojuro and/or Rentan Childhood friends! And Hikomomo implied as well

🥵 - what are your thoughts about their rank difference? Did you want Tanjiro to study under Kyojuro?:

Is so hot n spicy to think of Tan training hard along Kyojuro. He would have been an amazing teacher for sure. I like to think that Tanjiro, in the very middle of puberty, would be having much trouble of concentration because his master looks so attractive while he talks about flame breathing with a high ponytail n sweaty bare chest. Tanjiro feeling so nervous & embarrased, how can he feel aroused with Rengoku-san, oh such impure thoughts for an elder son & tsugoku hng 

💭 - In a world where the train ride lasted longer, what do Rengoku and Tanjiro dream of?:

I want to think that Kyojuro would had more childhood memories with his family. Happiest moments before his mother died. And times when he was with his father and Senjuro as a kid. Mundane things, but so tender that would be engraved in his heart forever. Deep down, he would like to turn back to this moments again. I’m sure he would dream about the days his mother was pregnant with his little brother, wanting to protect both of them while his father was in a mission as a Hashira. Touching his mom belly n getting so excited to meet his baby brother, putting his head to hear the heartbeat n talking ( too loud unfortunately) about how he wants to play with his little brother and be his best friend & love him so much already 😭 For Tanjiro, I think the same, but dreaming more about his dad as well with his family like he does in the movie

🍠 - what are your opinions on the Rengoku family, and how Kyojuro was raised?: 

Oh god. Where do I start I love the Rengoku family so deeply. I felt his family so human n also hits close home to me. In the series, most of the characters also has tragic pasts with their families, but I find the Rengoku fam more closed to mine. Watching a wonderful and wholesome family got broken with their mother’s death, the consecuences of depression, such as ending with alcoholism, emotional distance and parental abandonment. Seeing Kyojuro, the elder son, having to repress his sadness for the sake of his little brother, being a father figure both of them doesn’t have anymore, and Senjuro feeling lonely in the house, a failure for not having enough skills as his brother & father to be a demon slayer. Both brothers needed his father appreciation, but they coulnd’t do anything about it. Just supporting each other thru their sadness, grief and loneliness.  That’s...so real. So accurated and realistic.  I feel like Senjuro so much as I’m the youngest sibling with my sister, who’s my support as well.  I love everything about the Rengoku family so much  😭 😭

🪨 - what are your opinions on the Kamado family, and how Tanjiro was raised?:

I also love his family! They were so adorable and tender, Tanjiro is a wonderful, cute big brother with each one of his brothers n sisters. Their ending is truly painful, is impossible not to cry or feel sad about them. They deserved more, that’s why I love when in any AU they’re all alive n happy with their bakery (Even Tanjiro’s father, poor man, he’s mostly dead all the time. Give this guy some interaction pls)

🗑️ - just tell us everything you love about Shinjuro: 

Hnng the Dilf of the Rengoku’s. What a hot angry daddy ❤️‍🔥 Yes, he deserved the headbutt. But, contrary to what many thinks about him, he’s written so well. He’s a very good and hurtful realistic representation of what having an alcoholic dad looks like. What dealing with grief for the loss of a loved one and how someone can’t really get over it looks like. It doesn’t mean it condones all his actions towards his sons, but saddly that’s how it is. This man did loved his family, he was so in love with his wife, that reading his resentiment towards the demon later Kyojuro would fight before become a Hashira, saying why he has to forgive an evil creature like this, but his beloved wife, a good person, had to suffer an illness and die. God, it broked my heart to pieces.  Not to mention how he was drowing himself in more alcohol than before with his eldest son’s death, as a way to forget the pain. The way he cried for Kyojuro, is the answer to know if he did loved his son. He does. He cried as he realised he still loved him and cared about him, even if he didn’t deserved it for all the hateful comments. The way in the end he’s walking grabbing Senjuro’s hand is the most beautiful moment in the manga. PS: Requiem of a Redemption is a Masterpiece of a fanfiction. The best way to explore Shinjuro’s character *chef kiss* 

🎴 - do you ship Tanjiro with anyone else? If yes, who? If no, why not?: Actually I only can ship him with another Rengoku. With Senjuro.  I can see them as a friends to lovers, penpals lovers, first love, or even with angst with Tanjiro loving Sen as a way to keep remembering Kyojuro 

❤️‍🔥 - do you ship Kyojuro with anyone else? If yes, who? If no, why not?:

Yes, ironically I can ship Kyojuro with more. He’s a himbo everyone would need in their lives. I ship him with Tengen and now I’m falling more and more for AkaRen.  

💣 - share your most controversial RenTan take. Set your thoughts ablaze!! I hate  when they draw Tanjiro extremelly girly & delicate. Like, come on, he may be a teenager boy, but he trains like crazy. His body ended to be a tiny muscled body but with a baby face w round cheeks. Also, he was born in the mountains and worked hard, even when he was dressed as a girl, his cute baby face couldn’t hide the shape as a young man.  My other take is that Tanjiro isn’t always “softie uwu”. He can be so mad, he says more swearing when he’s really angry in the manga, did we forget how he screamed back at Shinjuro? Well, if Kyojuro tells him something that could be very mean or just disagree with him, Tanjiro would reply back for sure, even if he could be very ashamed of himself later, he can’t stand injustice and can be brave enought to tell his master, a damn Flame Hashira, to shut their mouths up.

RenTan ask game!

Grit your teeth and join the fun.

mcr was amazing last night. like 13 year old me wouldn’t believe it.

[owo--bot]

There was a dialogue tag in chapter 30 that went: 'he scolded, though a lethargic tone said his heart just wasn't in it.'

Full disclosure, this mf was haunting me as I wrote that line.

Pretending to care about Matt, pretending he did this to Kenny for them, playing at being concerned and compassionate

Matt is clearly distraught, he’s tearful in the post-match comments and later when the BTE guys gather in a backroom you can see him rocking back and forth trying to sooth himself while Cody goes on a tirade

[ID: the BTE guys sitting in a room. Cody is standing and speaking and gesturing. Matt is rocking back and forth and not looking at Cody. End ID]

but in spite of all Cody’s hard work, in spite of the horrible accident in the ring, the elite have not given up on each other

that night Kenny shows up at the Bucks’ hotel room, and he brings Kota with him.

[ID: four gifs. Kenny stands in front of the bucks’ hotel room door. Kota comes up beside him. Kota has like a scarf? he looks great. Then the bucks standing in their doorway, they move inviting the GLs into the room and Kenny and Kota enter. End ID]

they’re trying

(shout out to Kevin Kelly in the post Sapporo recap, saying the lovers’ relationship “certainly goes deeper and beyond friendship”)

during early February 2018 there’s kind of a holding pattern [BTE eps LINK and LINK], Cody is living his best, villainous life, feeling that all his dreams are now almost within his grasp. but he doesn’t let up on his manipulation, he knows that the bucks haven’t really given up on Kenny.

he starts pressuring them to move up to the NJPW heavyweight division (something that would put them in direct competition with the Golden Lovers) because they are “the best tag team in the world.”

[ID: picture of Cody with his arms around the bucks, saying “Think of the dream matches.” End ID]

all the other non-Cody members of BTE are conflicted and in pain, and Matt is wearing his divided loyalties on his sleeves

[ID: pictures of nick and hangman crying, and then matt looking unhappy. Matt’s shirt changes from Kenny’s BC shirt to Cody’s BC shirt. End ID]

but enough about those guys

February 2 Tokyo Sports interviews Kota Ibushi about the Golden Lovers reunion [LINK]. He clarifies that he is not part of the bullet club and will not be joining them, even tho they are now legally his stable-in-laws. When asked why he saved Kenny he answers simply, “because he’s my friend.”

“It ended once. So this isn't us picking up where we left off, it's a completely new start. I'm excited to see what we can do as a team, now both of us [are] heavyweight. I can't imagine a better tag team than us. At the same time, we spent this time apart, and did completely different things in those years. How we'll do together after that time, how well we'll gel, that's another part of it. [...] We've taken such different routes. But I think there are New Japan fans that sense a difference (in level) between us. I'm the only one that really hasn't made a mark or gotten results in New Japan. I'm not looking to Kenny for help in that regard. That's on me to rectify. Of course, I want to team with him. But I'm still a singles wrestler. I want to make my mark as a singles wrestler. As a tag [team], I'm excited to see what happens, and no doubt, cool things will happen. 2018 just got really interesting."

-Kota Ibushi, Chris Charlton translation [LINK]

just like Kenny, he’s not quite sure how this will go, but he’s committed to making it work

we get another update (Feb 13, 2018) when NJPW releases The Golden Comeback, a documentary on the GL reunion [NJPW LINK, Youtube LINK - please note that the youtube version is 15 minutes shorter and does not include most of the interview]

(Cody RTs the video and calls the GLs a “publicity stunt” saying “[Kenny’s] too selfish to love anybody” [LINK] (both bumping the docu and calling attention to the fact that the GLs are in love))

this same day Kenny likes this tweet calling Kota “that one beautiful man Kenny Omega loves unconditionally”

anyway this documentary is 30 entire minutes, and there’s just so much in it

first off, Kota makes clear before Kenny shows up that he sees this space, the private wrestling gym that he uses for practice (and has used for 10 years), as his home

[ID: picture of Kota in his personal gym. The NJPW interviewer asks “What does this place mean to you?” and Kota say “This is basically my home.” End ID]

what we’re going to witness here is a homecoming

hilariously Kota hasn’t told the NJPW film crew that Kenny is coming so they’re very surprised and confused when someone knocks on the door

[ID: gif of Kota in the doorway to his gym. He says “You’re late. Late.” Kenny laughs and replies “Sorry.” End ID]

(no big deal, just the first words we’ve heard them speak to each other in years. ‘you’re late.’ he had to wait for so long ;-; )

even more hilariously, Kota didn’t tell Kenny the film crew would be there

[ID: gif of Kenny looking around and then back to Kota and down, and he says “I thought this would be a private practice but um here we are. We have the camera crews here. [switches to Japanese] But I don't mind.” End ID]

I always wonder about this, whether he just didn’t think to tell him, or maybe he was going to if Kenny hadn’t been late, or whether it was a test, wanting to see if Kenny would still be Kenny to him in front of an audience...

but regardless of why the njpw people are there, Kenny is still Kota’s Kenny on camera. there’s a little awkwardness here and there, both of them sort of figuring out how to fall into this again, but the whole video is just filled with their soft joy and sweet giddiness at being together

[ID: gif of Kenny and Kota giggling together. End ID]

Kenny, who spent years trying to surpass Kota, switches so easily from “I” to “we,” already thinking about their future and successes as shared

one of my favorite moments is when Kenny pulls out one of Kota’s t-shirts

It’s the cutest thing in the world, the way he pulls it out, SEES WHATS IN HIS HAND and clearly gets nervous????? AND LIKE TRIES TO DROP IT ALL CASUAL???

And Kota notices immediately???? 

[ID: gif of Kenny looking in his bag, Kota says “Kenny...” Kenny looks up and says “Yes?” And Kota points at the shirt “Where did you get that?” End ID]

[ID: two gifs. Kenny picks up the shirt and goes “This?” Kota says “this shirt” and Kenny unfolds it and holds it up. “I brought it myself. For practice.” Kota looks at his own shirt and says “It’s my shirt!” and Kenny tells him “I wanted to dress as a team.” End ID

the “I wanted to dress as a team” and how delighted Kota is about it???? 

[ID: two gifs, Kenny is giggling and Kota asks “Did someone give it to you?” and Kenny tells him “I won it in an online auction.” they both crack up. End ID]

KENNY SAYING HE WON IT IN AN AUCTION AND THEM BOTH BREAKING DOWN LAUGHING???? it’s just the best

there’s all these little moments that show how much Kenny has been thinking about this, planning things out. he’s already brainstormed a new knee-based finisher, since their old finisher, the Golden Shower, is a bit more difficult now than it used to be and they need something they can do every match

(they do tease the Golden Shower during this docu and later, which makes me think they could still do it and were saving it for Something Special, but never got the chance)

and then the interview portion of the documentary begins. Kenny gives a brief account of his life and mindset since 2015, and it’s a little heartbreaking

"When Ibushi came to the ring, it was difficult at first to accept that he had noble intentions. For so long I felt so alone, that no one had the same idea of what wrestling should be. And maybe even to a degree that no one cared about me. I felt that it was just my job and my existence to give everything to wrestling. My health, my body, my soul. [...] didn't matter if I was broken."

[ID: gif of Kenny saying “And in the end to feel that someone maybe cared for me more than that...how could I turn that away?” End ID]

Kenny had just accepted that as his lot in life and then here was Kota, loving him when he had lost everything. seeing and loving Kenny the person, not The Cleaner or the Best Bout Machine

and in the face of that love Kenny couldn’t turn away forever

Kota gets asked about why he came out to help Kenny, and you can feel the years of pining in his answer, and just how badly Cody played himself by pushing Kenny into revealing how much he still cares for Kota

“Through all these years, I've always watched his matches backstage. I was watching that day. [...] Kenny did the same for me at New Years Dash. I tried to play dumb [referring to his post-match comments at NYD], but I knew what he did. Kenny...was looking out for me. It felt like the GL weren't done yet. That's what I felt that day. I was compelled to help him.”

the interviewer then asks about the choice to extend his hand after saving Kenny

[ID: the GLs sitting side by side. Kota says “It was a big deal for me. But he didn’t take my hand, at first. So, I thought maybe that it wouldn’t work out. But I didn’t want to give up so easily. I wanted to force him to acknowledge me.” End ID]

he says that he thought they could reunite "because we're the golden lovers" like it was just that simple

the way the lovers talk about each other now that they’re reunited is really something. Kenny tries to put into words what Kota is to him

"The Golden Lovers was always more than just the wrestling. That was real life. And if he just wanted to tag then that was something we would discuss in private [and then talk about to njpw] or I could make a big shpeal of it, make a big scene, give Ibushi a Bullet Club shirt, and it would be a business decision. But to me this was- this was something that had nothing to do with business. This was unrelated to Bullet Club, this was unrelated to the Elite. This was someone that I had cared about for 10 years. Someone that had helped me survive when I was in DDT. Someone that inspired me before I came to Japan.”

[ID: gif of Kenny saying “Someone who became a friend. Someone who became more than that. Sometimes in wrestling you say "business first" but this was a case when personal life was just too important to ignore.” End ID]

Kenny says that trying to change the wrestling world has been a lonely journey, "and there's not many people who can keep the pace. But Ibushi's one of them. [...] Same with the Young Bucks and that's actually why we formed the Elite. And in a way Ibushi is very much an Elite athlete, an Elite professional wrestler and I'm just happy that he's by my side.”

When asked about visiting the young bucks' hotel room, Kota says he’s “not trying to divide” Kenny and his friends. Kenny says that while Kota and the bucks might not be friends, they’re not enemies either, and that he wants badly to make things right

“I value my relationships. I don't have many real friends, but the real friends that I do have I want to cherish…we came to the room as a peace offering, and right now it's complicated, and I hope that with time we can fix that relationship.”

[PART 17] [ALL PARTS]

[casswithmywholeheart]

You know in your art showing Sasha's thoughts during Reunion when forcing Anne to not go to her parents' party for her birthday, I find it even sadder she doesn't even consider trying to hang out with Marcy without Anne, as in Sasha deep down thinking Anne's what holds her and Marcy together.

Yep. But mostly, in my opinion, it's because of the very significance that Anne as a person holds to Sasha, apart from other matters like her relationship with marcy. It is true that anne links them altogether but more than that, Anne just simply means so much to Sasha to the point where hanging out with marcy rather than with anne could never be an option.

When Anne is not available, Marcy would of course be her next option to spend time with, and i actually do believe those two would have hung out together a plenty of times without anne in such cases, but the reason i didnt make them hang out was because I wanted to focus solely on sashanne and sasha's character.

As much as i ship S and M, it's a huge key component of sasha's character that she has an extra strong emotional bond with Anne incomparable to anybody. Marcy is also a special one who sasha cares for and loves but i say the emotional depth Sasha has towards Anne is fundamentally different from the root. As in the comic, she NEEDS anne just like we need air and the fish need water. She needs her to stick around with her all the time, she needs her to accompany her, and she needs anne to always be by her side no matter what - which is, the most basic but the most immature form of love in my opinion. But pre-amph sasha didnt know how to express love in a proper way nor did know how to ask someone for love. In order to have Anne always stick around with her, she had to control her. She had to control every single situation when she was with anne and control everything about her as charismatically and strongly as she could; or else anne wouldn't be with her. Or else I can't make anne stay with me- that's what she thought. She needed anne so much but was afraid she didn't know how to make Anne stay with her, and the only way young sasha coud think of that would work was coercing and forcing and therefore controlling her friend's actions. Possibily the only thing she ever experienced in her household.

So all the forcings and controllings and End Of Discussions in Reunion, all those words and actions, one by one, felt like a desperate cry for help to me. All I could hear from those scenes were, help, i am lonely. I need you, Anne. Please stay with me, Anne. I need you more than anything. Don't leave me, please. I don't know how to communicate these feelings to you and i don't know how im supposed to keep you by my side if I'm not controlling and forcing. So please help me, would you? I need you so much.

I don't know how I should make you love me, so all I can do is controlling you so you can always be with me.

It just felt like pure desperation. (Which I love in a character.) That was how i interpreted what, like, 90% of her character was. She was literally a personification of craving for love. These impressions were where i got the idea for this comic back in hiatus when i first finished watching the show until true colors. (took a damn long time to put it into action tho)

Sasha is really a character whose essence is full of insecurity and love. I say roughly 99% of sashas character is composed of gay yearning for Anne (lol) or mostly, just Anne. To sasha, anne is her life; her reason, her motivation, her everything. Throughout the journey she learns how to properly express her love in a healthy way, learning that she herself can be loved and is someone worth of loving even when she's not controlling. As we can see, her whole character arc, from being obsessed with controlling out of insecurity to growing into someone who loves herself enough to know that she doesn't need to control, starts with Anne and is finished with Anne.

So, yes. Marcy is special to her, of course, and she loves her friend Marcy, but the depth of emotions is clearly different with Anne.
