#i wish i could give her a stronger opinion on Kanae

[calywitsune]

What does Azumi think of Aoi, the triplets, and Kanae (in an AU where she's still alive)?

Aoi: Azumi considers her a friend! They've had conversations many times wherein Azumi has expressed her personal beliefs regarding what strength is. Strength is not just physical, and just because Aoi passed her final selection only to go into the butterfly mansion doesn't mean she's any less strong than those who are on the front lines. Just a different kind of strong. Azumi also loves her cooking and will often partake in it just visiting the mansion for non-recovery purposes.

Aoi's puppy crush on Azumi went completely over her head :'D Not that Aoi really pursued anything; it was a puppy crush for a reason! Infatuation based on Azumi's encouragement and genuine optimism

The triplets: She thinks they're the cutest and sweetest beans ever!! So caring and adorable. She absolutely takes on a big sister role; the big tuff sister that will protect them from all harm!! I definitely imagine them dogpiling her when she visits (given shes not injured!!) and they cling to her as she goes about her business.

Kanae: If she were still alive, Azumi would have a lot of respect for her being so steadfast in her desire to see demons and humans live alongside one another. She does in canon, but through stories heard from the other Hashira.

You say that Shigure's love of Akito from that dream wasn't unfounded and out of nowhere but if that's the case why was he the only one to be affected by it in that way compared to the other boys? Even in chapter 111 he wishes he could have dreamed of Tohru, implying that that dream could've been about anyone and he would have fallen for them? I don't know, it doesn't really seem like he loves Akito for herself you know?

hi anon and thanks for the ask!

(idk if you happen to be the same anon who originally asked for my take on shigure but since you mentioned the manga i’ll assume you’re ok with spoilers!)

um so my attention span is terrible so i’m just going to break down your ask really fast, i see one direct question and two points.

1. why was shigure the only one to fall in love with akito compared to hatori and ayame?

2. the counterpoint that shigure said he wished he could have dreamed of tohru instead

3. the main point which is that shigure doesn’t seem to truly love akito

so as for the dream...

it wasn’t the dream itself that made shigure fall in love with akito. the dream itself was a sign that the emperor had reincarnated once more in the form of akito in her mother’s womb and at the time, the older sohmas (shigure, hatori, and ayame), were the only ones around to respond to the call. the dream they had reinforced their zodiac spirit’s promised loyalty to her and inspired the bond that originally existed between the animals and the emperor (or god, i’m just used to thinking of it as “emperor” since that’s the original mythology). this resonated with the young boys, and overwhelmed them to the point where they all cried (and we know that the same rush of emotions applies to all other sohmas upon seeing the emperor for the first time). 

shigure described those feelings as a sort of sweet affection. now we’ve all felt that sort of way at some point haven’t we? maybe not as poetically as shigure put it, but that sort of soothing fulfillment when you’re with someone you care about, whether that’s a friend who makes you endlessly laugh or someone you trust whenever you need to vent. the translation of this feeling differs depending on the individual and their circumstances.

that applies to how the dream affected the mabudachi trio too.

this trio of kids (they were like 6 years old?) all got hit with the same dose of longing and adoration, but it resounded with them differently. hatori and ayame saw that affection to be familial, and took on brotherly roles as akito grew up. adult hatori probably felt even stronger brotherly affection since he was the one to look after akito’s health and mental well-being in her older years alongside shigure--remember how he never really lashed out at akito for what happened with kana? it reminds me kind of the dynamic between a spoiled younger sibling and a weary older brother who doesn’t want to cause trouble, but i digress (i tend to tangent a lot, sorry!)

that’s just how the dream affected those two though, as we see in the series that different sohmas have different views of akito.

so for little shigure, he also thought those emotions were something beautiful, and as time passed, he felt something more, beyond the attachment that hatori and ayame felt. he ended up falling in love with akito, hard and true, and this went on for years--to the point where his oldest friends figured that he would do whatever he could to see his end goal happen (make akito his). 

and as for why the dream couldn’t have been about anyone...

i think the first part of the answer addresses this a bit too, but it wasn’t the dream that caused him to fall in love with akito. sorry if my other furuba ask didn’t make that clear--the dream was the catalyst for their relationship in general (as zodiac and emperor), but the emotions inspired from the dream are what motivated a young shigure to make akito “his”.

also i could be so off on this since i read the manga a while ago but i vaguely remember the chapter you mentioned and i interpreted shigure’s meaning differently? i thought him wishing that it was tohru he dreamed of instead was him saying “i wish it could have been a person like you” rather than tohru explicitly. that is, that he wishes he could have fallen for. i don’t think he literally meant “dreamed about”, but that someone like her had been in his dream in the first place. i think that in that moment shigure was taking a step back from his obsession and he was seeing his unpleasant dynamic for what it was and he was having a “hmmm what if i had fallen in love with a person who was kind and giving and could fill the hole in my warped heart because i’m the kind of person who needs that” moment. (notice i didn’t use the words unhealthy or toxic which are my go-to for the akito/shigure relationship--shigure has probably definitely realized over the years that his pattern of hate and manipulation with akito isn’t great but i highly doubt he would ever admit that they would be that bad for each other bc the man is obsessed)

tl;dr: rather than that scene implying that shigure could have dreamed about whoever and he would have fallen head-over-heels like he did with akito, i think the meaning of that interaction was to show a small hint of regret over where his life turned. it was a human moment for him, for the scheming manipulative dog to step back and ponder “what if”. it was also a way to show how tohru was changing the sohma’s views on themselves. shigure has always been accepting of the gritty road ahead, believing that a trash person like him (not my opinion i’m just saying he doesn’t think he’s good either) deserves a stained fate since he’s willing to do whatever underhanded thing to get what he wants. tohru’s kindness makes him wonder what it would be like to have someone as wholesome as that to soothe the darker parts of him.

i feel like i addressed your second point throughout this response but i fully understand where you were coming from. 

ultimately shigure does love akito fully, all her faults and flaws aside.

that DEFINITELY doesn’t mean this love is perfect though. 

// more thoughts under the fold but since i addressed all your immediate questions + if you want to be free from my godforsaken rambling then feel free to scroll past this post lol //

shigure’s love isn’t unfound. we the readers were given a clear backstory on what initially inspired his feelings and we are shown the extent of his love throughout the series as he embarks on his quest to destroy the curse in order to obtain akito.

your point that shigure doesn’t seem to love akito for herself is totally valid in my opinion and i agree because the way their relationship is portrayed in the manga makes it hard to see what he loves about akito other than her, if that makes sense.

we’re continually reminded that shigure loves akito an incredible amount. an obsessive amount. a toxic, overwhelming, and suffocating amount.

and good lord other than shigure saying that he loves akito (which he did say several times) i cannot name a logical reason for his love. and yes love isn’t logical but i’m referring to concrete points about her that make him want to smother her in his devotion so much. this is one of the things that i didn’t like about the manga in retrospect once i let the plot sit with me for a bit. i disagree with some opinions that shigure and akito were a forced couple because i feel like their story have a lot of potential (i have a huge soft spot for redemption character arcs) but their love just felt so flawed and twisted.

there are lots of lopsided relationships in shoujo manga in general but idk for me it was hard to take in all the emotional hits (kureno and ren oy vey) they flung at each other and then not see resolution. :/

i’m going to shut up since this is def beyond what you asked but basically shigure does love shigure for herself but only on the mangaka’s word/face value from what we are shown with him going “i love akito”. there wasn’t enough character development/plot reveal to reinforce his love for her. we can understand why he fell in love with her in the first place but we’re never given context besides that, the story just explains how they’ve been dancing around each other for years (not in an unrequited love way but in a hostile way).

*deep breath* oh god it felt good to write that out but if my long mess of thoughts confused you anon always feel free to send in another ask!

[naruto-oc-critiques]

Thank you for reopening!! So, I wanna make an au where sasusaku doesn't happen. I wanna pair him with my oc, and I'm just wondering what to look out for? This is post manga pre baruto. I think Imma make her a civilian.

Ok well before throwing out suggestions for your OC how about we look at some of post-Manga AND pre-Boruto Sasuke’s personality.

Personality

Reclusive

When he leaves Konoha once again, this time for less power seeking reasons and more of the redeeming my past sins reasons, he tries to minimize his contact with people to the bare minimum. However he is more than willing to help if there are problems the villages’ have difficulties addressing, but if it within said villages expertise he more than likely turned down their request for help. In addition you’ll be more likely to find him helping from the shadows than in the heat of events.

Sense of Humor?

His self searching journeys are important for his development back into a healthy being before the Uchiha Massacre. You’ll find he’s showing a kinder side and shows a sense of humor, but you won’t find him actively admitting it. In his marriage with Sakura he’ll decline showing her affection to tease her. He continues to insult folks as an adult but it’s meant to be humorous and not cold hearted.

Protective

His self-proclaimed duties of protecting Konoha from the shadows stems from Itachi’s wish for Sasuke to live and protect Konoha, however he might take it a little too seriously to the point he didn’t recognize his own daughter Sarada from lack of interaction. In the end though he does take his role as a shinobi and father VERY seriously since he does spends most of Sarada’s childhood investigating potential threats, greater than Kaguya, to the village and his family. Even in his fault as a parent he shows strong parental skills, he believes in his daughter’s abilities and dreams and even tries to prevent her from making the same mistakes he did as a young shinobi. On a side note even though his presence is lacking, when he is around for Sarada he does his best as a loving and doting father to make her happy and to prevent her from being sad.

Loyal

I’m not so much saying he’s loyal, since he switched affiliations so much in his youth but I’m more so saying loyalty is important to him even as a younger shinobi. The reason Sasuke came back to Konoha from his self-searching and new threat be gone journeys was the fact that Sakura had stayed faithful to him in their long distance relationship still had faith in him even after their slow burn, long distance relationship.  

How it could work?

Now here comes your oc, how it all rolls out to be in the end depends on you. One thing that I’m going to say is that reclusive trait of his may be a problem, you are going to need a reason for Sasuke to meet your OC and continue to run into your oc to build a relationship. However I think your civilian OC should not be a citizen from Konoha, especially since Pre-Boruto he’s having one big redemption journey. So here are some possible jobs/roles your OC could play:

OC works at an establishment (food, inn, entertainment, etc) that Sasuke favors when visiting x place (maybe a place that’s good for intel?), even though he visits once in a blue moon she enjoys every one of them and even knows his favorite dish (omusubi with okaka and tomatoes). Twist, she aspires to runs a sweets shop. 

Sasuke has got to stock up supplies somewhere on his journeys, maybe she can be part of a weaponry shop that specializes ninja tools, however lacks the proper training to wield them but geeks out over their make. Maybe have a cheesy plotline where oc gets in trouble because of some “LEGENDARY EPIC BLADE OF AWESOMENESS” that’s she’s rumored to have possession of and blamo got yourself a mini adventure that might give her some opportunity for growth as a character. 

In my opinion your oc whether she’s civilian (which would be cool) or not should be loyal, have a strength in mind or heart but not actual physical strength (Sasuke values power but doesn’t like people being stronger than him), shouldn’t like him for JUST his looks (remember his academy days? He hated his fangirls and had a strong dislike for Sakura for a while because she was so annoying about her approaches), and when the time comes for their relationship she might have to be the instigator I’m pretty sure Sasuke wouldn’t openly confess anything or be affectionate. 

Just because you don’t want the Sasusaku to not happen doesn’t mean you have to completely destroy all interactions between the two (I honestly don’t like Sasusaku). In most OC x married schmucks fanfics people tend to kill off, in this case Sakura, or have some kind of event like an affair that breaks of the relationship or rewrite the whole fact that there had been some kind of relationship. You do not have to do that. Especially the last one, not everyone ends up with their first partner. You shouldn’t have to worry about messing with Sakura too much since your target time period is before Sasuke uber realized that both Sakura and Konoha were his home.  

And remember Naruto was always about believing that you have the power to shape your own destiny. If you want to explore 12 different self growth lessons from Naruto check this out: Believe it!

Hopefully this will help you get started.

Hoshoku Fukuro ( 捕者 梟 ) is a first-year student at Yuuei, training to become a Professional Hero. He became interested in becoming a hero after moving to Japan when he found out that his Uncle became a Villian.

Appearance

   Fukuro is very short in stature and is quite skinny which aids in flight. He has straight short mahogany bobbed hair that goes to his shoulders and gets longer in the front, he also has feather tufts at the top of his head with patterns on them. His eyes are large, expressive, and orange in colour. He has a dark chestnut type VI skin tone and has a beauty mark under his right eye. His fingernails (talons) are black and curve down to a point—they're sharp. He always has a pair of feather earrings on and colourful braided bracelets. All in all, he looks very exotic.

Personality

- | Patient | Kind | Cheerful | Accepting | Flexible | Meticulous | Daring | Stubborn | Mischievous | Keen | Socially-Awkward | Greedy | Facetious | Forgetful | -

   Fukuro usually appears to look calm and indifferent, but when eye contact is made, he always makes sure to smile back—if a bit nervously. He's nice, but awkward in first-time social situations and it takes a while for him to warm up to people. He's a cheerful person and even when alone, he'll usually have a little skip in his step. When warmed up to, his darker humour tends to come out and surprise those who don't expect such vulgar things to come out from his mouth.

   Fukuro does not like voicing his opinion because he doesn't like to offend people, but he will voice what he thinks needs to be said on occasion. Despite his initial soca awkwardness, he can take initiative in a conversation and keep it on track. He is very accepting of people and is a great listener. He doesn't care about people's appearance, gender, or sexual orientation. Because he's a good listener, people turn to him when they want to talk about something, or to tell a secret. He's good at keeping secrets because he usually forgets them a day later.

—W.I.P—

Good: Accepting, appreciative, cheerful, daring, flexible, meticulous, non-judgemental, patient, tolerant, witty

Bad: Assertive, deceptive, dark humour, facetious, forgetful, greedy, keen, mischievous, obsessive, socially-awkward, stubborn

Quirk:

Owl-Body

   His quirk gives him the abilities of an Owl! His wings have feathers that make him able to fly silently and hover in place. He has enhanced perception with his sight, hearing and can feel disturbances in the air with his feather tufts, making him quite observant and hard to sneak up on. Like a bird, he can projectile vomit to ward off threats—but he avoids it because it burns his throat. He has hybrid humin-bird feet that are just as dexterous as his hands—his nails are black talons. He can imitate noises and voices like a Mockingbird and his screech can disorient people. He also has a flexible neck and can turn his head up to 270°.

Quirk type: Mutant

Quirk rage: Close-Mid

Fighting style: Physical and Tactical.

+ Advantages:

+ Manoeuvrability in the air

+ Stealthy since flight is silent

+ Can confuse the enemy by imitating sounds and voices

+ Could safely transport severely injured individuals

+ Superior perceptual and Visual and Spatial Processing

+ Good for reconnaissance and stealth missions

+ Can vomit on a villain to make them easier to track

+ Can shoot arrows while flying

+ Eyes can adjust to differences in light very quickly

- Disadvantages:

- Severe disadvantage in tight enclosed spaces—cant fly in buildings

- Can't fly in the rain

- Wings can weigh him down when wet

- Other than his legs and talons, he doesn't have a lot for a close quarter fight

- Loud noises can hurt his hearing

- Can have information overload if too much is going on

- His wings and tail make it difficult to sit down

- Can unintentionally hurt allies with his talons

Conclusion:

His quirk is very strong in open areas and he can distract and stall targets by pecking away at them. However, he cannot fight well against groups in close quarters. His enhanced senses are both a blessing and a curse.

Techniques:

Swoop: Coming down from a high altitude, he hits and knocks the target back with a strong kick. His talons can also incapacitate.

Advantage: Has much more power than he can normally throw out.

Disadvantage: Easy to block if predicted, difficult to change course after hitting top speed. Too long of a build up to use other than a surprise attack.

Limit of the range: Close range.

Gust: From either on the ground or in the air, Fukuro can kick up winds to blow back projectiles and people.

Advantage: Versatile and can be used Offensively and Defensively. Can be used to kick up dust clouds for cover, it can be good set up for stealth procedures.

Disadvantage: Not that strong and could only slow down larger and stronger people, and even with his sight, it would be hard for him to navigate in the cloud. If used on the ground, he wouldn't be able to fly away—he'd blow the cloud he made away.

Limit of the range: Close to Mid-range.

Feather Duster: Fukuro tickles his opponent or makes them sneeze with his wing or a feather of his.

Advantage: Creates an opening for a team member to attack. Can be used to taunt and aggravate opponent.

Disadvantage: If the opponents not ticklish, or doesn't react, he's open to a counter attack—and he'd look stupid.

Limit of the range: Close range.

Rain of Down: Fukuro can flap his wings and shoot out feathers at a target. 

Advantage: Can cover a wide area.

Disadvantage: Hard to aim with precision. When overused, it makes it harder to fly. If used too much, he won't be able to fly until the feathers are grown back.

Limit of the range: Mid-range.

Screech: Fukuro raises his voice and emits a painful sounding screech. Can damage hearing and be used to intimidate.

Advantage: Temporarily stuns targets, or startles them. If used close enough, it can cause hearing damage. Can be used for crowd control of riots, protests, and villain groups.

Disadvantage: Hurts his throat if used a lot—will eventually lose voice. Can hurt allies hearing.

Limit of the range: Close to Mid-range.

—W.I.P—

Combined or difficult techniques:

Dive Bomb: A more difficult version of Swoop. He descends straight down from above.

Advantage: Much more power than Swoop and is faster.

Disadvantage: If he misses, there's a high chance of him hurting himself. It's much harder to control with the speeds he gets up to.

Limit of the range: Close range.

Fire Whirl: He kicks up winds and enhances somebody's fire quirk, creating fire whirls that are hard to predict.

Advantage: Can be used as crowd control depending on size and control of flames by the fire quirk user. Covers wide areas.

Disadvantage: If not careful, he can set fire to his feathers. The fire quirk user has to be able to control the flames.

Limit of the range: Mid to long range.

Family:

✖️💙💥 Hoshoku Taka: Father (Otou-sama || Musuko)

• Relationship status: He respects him because he's his father and taught him all he knows about hunting and archery, but he started to hurt his mother when they moved to Japan. He's cautiously defiant of him and refuses to be alone in the same room at the same time. Trying to distance himself.

💙💛 Hoshoku Tsubame: Mother (Kaa-san || Hosho-kun—she calls him that because it sounds cute)

• Relationship status: She's the one who taught him his life skills, how to converse properly with people—even if he's still awkward with it. She supports him in all that he does—even his odd quirk of collecting shiny things. No one else in the family seems to have it, ironically. He respects her for standing strong against his father despite being much, much smaller.

💛💚 Hoshoku Kanaria: Sister (Kana-chan || Onii-san)

• Relationship status: He adores his little sister. She's paraplegic and wishes she had wings so she could move around freely—he takes her flying at least once a week. He's had to chase off her bullies.

⚪💙 Hoshoku Kujaku : Grandfather (Sofu-sama—he's scary and demands respect || Magomusuko—formal form of grandson)

• Relationship status: The old man's strict, but means well. He's kind and scary, but teaches the harsh lessons Tsubame can't teach. Fukuro isn't as close to the man as his sister is.

💛💥 Hoshoku Hikuidori: Grandmother (Fukaba—it means hatchlings || Oba-chan)

• Relationship status: Fukuro seems to get his mischievous gene from this crazy old bird because they pull pranks and jokes on each other frequently. The only reason their relationship's problematic is because they occasionally get other family members caught in their little wars—they've gotten in trouble numerous of times. She's the lady that taught him how to have fun and take things in stride.

Trivia

Hoshoku (捕食) means "Predator", though because of it having a different kanji, it's often confused for Torimono (捕者) which means "captor" or "kidnapper". Fukuro (梟) literally means "Owl".

His canine teeth are longer to aid in picking apart and tearing into meat—his tongue is also black.

He used to live in a third world country before eventually moving to Japan.

His family all have the same types of quirks, though to varying degrees. His grandmother and little sister have bird features, but no wings.

If he's hungry and there's no food around, he'll hunt for small rodents, squirrels, or bugs.

He gets confused when his mother calls for his grandmother. Ofukuro means mother in Japanese.

Bathing is an inconvenience because his wings get really heavy with the water—they're not water repellent like other birds wings.

He likes to cause harmless mischief by imitating noises or peoples voices.

He's good at first person shooter arcade games.

Loves metal-cast disassembly puzzles and wooden interlocking puzzles—he finds Rubix cubes boring.

He has an unnatural obsession with colourful and sparkly things like rocks, jewels and feathers. He has a corner of shelves to showcase them on—his puzzles too—and always carries a small string cloth bag to put things he finds in.

When startled, angry, or scared, his hair fluffs up to make him look bigger

His whole family are named after birds.

Well, at least it hasn’t been confirmed yet, only heavily implied (honestly Mutsurie has been implied since the Auction arc)…sad thing is that back when Mutsuki was likable I used to kind of ship it. But now…

Ishida, bring Saiko back.

Urie deserves to love someone who truly cares for him and could actually give him a happy, stable life/relationship (because Saiko is totally filling the ‘Sasaki’ role for the Q squad now that Ken’s gone).

Not this murderous angsty yandere who’s very much obsessed with somebody else.

Also, I’m getting a bit tired of Kaneki making everybody’s relationships difficult. First it was Kanae loves Tsukiyama but Tsukiyama loves Kaneki but Kaneki loves Touka, and then Kanae DIED, and now Ishida’s going to replace that with Urie loves Mutsuki but Mutsuki loves Kaneki but Kaneki loves Touka? No.

The only thing worse than that would be Saiko loves Urie but Urie loves Mutsuki but Mutsuki loves Kaneki and so on and so forth… I seriously hope Ishida won’t do that. Not only would it be terrible for my feels, it would also be kind of ridiculous.

Though that freaking centipede was hands down the worst part of this chapter tbh

I’m really, really happy Yoriko’s alive, but this isn’t 100% fluff either because there are three questions I have now:

Since Yoriko appears to have both of her hands, whose hand did Mutsuki show Touka? (I just remembered that Torso cut off Mutsuki’s hands and put a wedding/engagement ring on one of them…ew. This is getting creepy)

Who was it that called Yoriko while she was out shopping?

Do the other two questions have anything to do with how somber Yoriko looks at the wedding, or is that just because of nerves (she does smile later on when throwing her bouquet, but…)?

(And yeah, Urie has known Mutsuki is biologically female since the auction arc: I got confused about this too because of weird translations, but apparently he smelled their blood and realized it was from menstruation and not an injury. For them, Mutuski being AFAB is an ‘I know you know I know’ kind of situation)

(Aww that’s so sweet! Tysm <3 Wish I had a Shuu irl…I got diagnosed with SA earlier this week so things are difficult over here ;-;

Once we got close, though, Shuu’s dramatic behavior might start to trigger my sarcastic/teasing side…like,

“Ah, so you’re using watercolors? How lovely! What are you painting? Is it me? Well, of course it’s me, your one true-”

“Actually, it’s Yomo. I’m kinda into the strong, silent types.”

“…What are you implying, love…?”)

Luna/Urie (Lurie? Uruna?) HCs:

-Urie’s attitude around you is a bit like this:

Urie around other people: (Total scum. I can feel myself getting stupider whenever I talk to you) Of course, sir. You are truly setting a great example.

Urie around you: (I was going to work more but then I remembered I haven’t spent much time with you this week…ugh, this is like those cheesy games Yonebayashi likes to play) Be quiet, I’m trying to exercise. I suggest you do the same (oh ***** wrong answer)- just to clarify, it’s not because of your looks, it’s because you have to get stronger.

-He’s super organized and has a great memory so you can just text him when you’ve lost/can’t remember something (‘Urie, where’s my notebook?’ 'second drawer in ur desk’).

-Though he’s more comfortable with texting, he occasionally leaves short sticky notes for you when he’s busy. Usually it’s serious but maybe not quite flattering stuff like 'there are bags under your eyes. The average human of your age requires at least 7.5 hours of sleep per night' but there’s also the rare, awkwardly sweet note- 'I’ll try to be back soon’,'stay safe’,'Your hair looks nice’ (when you cut it when he was at work and he came home when you were already asleep)

-Cookie’s actually nervous about making this relationship work and the sticky notes were inspired by advice from the internet.

-when it comes to school and studying, he’s extremely impressed with how many things you’re managing to do at once.Though he usually doesn’t express this openly he definitely lets you know when he’s proud of you.

-He helps you with Japanese when you need it.

-in social situations like parties, you usually stick together and don’t talk much to anybody else unless you’re with the other Q squad members (I think I remember you mentioning you’re an introvert?). Though it might not look like it, there’s a lot of banter in these situations and you almost always have fun together.

-Urie secretly likes your 'weird, slightly pervy’ jokes

-He probably has a secret sketchbook with dozens of pictures of you in it. His face when you somehow find it is priceless.

-At some point you turn him into Hamiltrash. When you try to tease him by asking him to rap Guns and Ships, he disappoints you by rapping the whole song perfectly. He also relates to 'The Room Where it Happens’ on a personal level.

-He doesn’t understand your manga/anime obsession. Especially when it comes to Love Live- one day you get him to watch the anime with you and he remains poker-faced the whole time (honestly he looks more interested in playing with your hair than watching the show). In the end, you agree to disagree.

Until a week later, when you discover Urie’s been secretly listening to 'Storm in Lover’.

(I’ll stop rambling now…I admit that a lot of these were slightly crack-y, though I did try my best to throw in some fluff and serious HCs as well ^^;; I hope you like it! :D)

Again, thank you so much for being so nice and supportive <333 (I say that a lot, don’t I XD) I actually tried out the watercolors yesterday, and though I messed up my picture by adding too much water (I’ve never actually learned to use watercolors and I started painting with them this month), the paper is actually pretty good! I was right when I guessed it wasn’t really watercolor paper, but it wrinkles much less than my other sketchbooks :D

but wait, 'Huge airhead with the memory of a goldfish’? Are you sure you aren’t talking about me? I don’t really have a bad memory, but I only seem to remember the things I WANT to remember LOL for example, I remember almost everything about my various fandoms, but sometimes I find that I have no idea where I put my glasses when I took them off barely a minute ago (plot twist: they were on the shelf in front of me the whole time and I couldn’t see them because of my terrible eyesight. Yes, this has happened before. Several times, in fact).

Burr would later be unable to look Lee in the eye lol. Seriously though, I ship this a lot. Burr is way too shippable ;-; Remember when I said I ship him with Eliza? The fic 'True and Earnest’ on ao3 is what really made me ship them but still (I totally recommend that fic you get the chance to read it because it’s just perfect. So sweet and beautiful <3 plus, there’s some implied Angelica/Alex at the end so everybody gets to be happy! :D)

btw, just found some fanart of Burr titled 'Aaron Burr has strong opinions’

Burr in the picture: 'Personally, I love things…

…AND stuff.’

And they call Jefferson a francophile. At least we know he knows where France is.

Last note of this ridiculously disorganized message:

I just wanted to ask, are you into the MCU fandom? Because I’m very deep into it…I haven’t watched the Iron Man trilogy or the Guardians of the Galaxy movies yet (though I have the latter on my computer and am planning to watch it soon) but I’ve watched almost all of the Captain America movies and all of the Thor and Avengers movies.

Honestly I have 0 problems shipping Cookie with anyone as long as they’re mentally stable. Hell, I’ll even ship him with Shuu as long as it means Urie would be happy. The amount of suffering in TG is starting to be too much. There is a fine line between ‘a little angst to keep the plot moving’ and ‘bucketful of angst because everyone shall suffer for no particular reason’. 

I read the new chapter myself (I always seem to do after you update me on the happenings hahah) and I am screaming. It’s like Ishida put a huge ‘No happiness allowed’ sign on his desk and looks at it every time he’s thinking of how to advance the plot. Sigh.

Honestly, it’s so heavily implied, I consider it canon. ‘I wasn’t going to come, but then I heard you’d be here’? Come on, Urie would never say that unless he really liked someone. 

Oh, what if Sasaki/Kaneki is Urie’s true love! I mean Saiko=Sasaki and he wanted to see Mutsuki since they might know about Kaneki’s whereabouts… Don’t mind me, I’m just trying to think of something, anything that doesn’t involve Mutsuki/Urie because that has become my ultimate NOTP.  But Saiko/Urie is very attractive…

Everyone loves Kaneki. Ishida lied to us, this is actually some sort of twisted harem/reverse harem manga that’s only full of suffering for the lols. When the end of the manga comes, it’ll turn out this is a stage play/movie/dream and that everyone is Kaneki’s classmates who have a crush on him, but he loves Touka, whilst she doesn’t give two shits about him. Yeah, that’d be a nice end.  Waaait a minute. That implies Urie will die ;-; Nooooooo, come one, the cookie deserves happiness, his life is a big enough shitstain already. 

The love relationships form a centipede. It’s like this a→b→c→d→e→f→g→h→i→j→k→l→m→n→o→Kaneki. 

I was studying biology this morning, and passed the Chilopoda unit. GUESS WHICH BUG WAS THERE. I WAS THIS CLOSE TO SCREAMING OUT LOUD BECAUSE FUCK CENTIPEDES.

Oh, those are good questions! Here are my thoughts:

a) Maybe it was Mutsuki’s hand? But the hand looked…. fresh, in lack of better expression. Who knows, maybe Mutsuki just chopped off a random person’s hand to use as bait. Honestly, it wouldn’t surprise me. 

b) I checked the panel, and Yoriko didn’t look alarmed or confused when she turned around, so maybe it was a random person she knew? Or someone from the CCG she met before? (what would they be doing in a wedding dress  shop, tho?)

c) I’ll choose to believe it was simply wedding nerves, because if it wasn’t the nervous, it was something else more sinister and there’s already enough suffering.

Oh, right! Now that you mention it, I remember! Thanks for reminding me ^^

That can’t be easy for you… If you ever want to talk, I’m here ^^ And I’m very sure Shuu would be persistent in getting to know you, yet he’d be careful not to trigger anything. Once he’d realise you have that teasing side, I’m sure he’d be a lot happier, because ‘HOLY SHIT EVANS OPENED UP TO ME HELL YEAAAAAAAAAAH’. He’d get a bit pouty if you’d tease him, tho. Of course, that’d make it even funnier. 

MY HEART! A critical hit. You really know how to pull those off.

Here’s an accurate representation of me while reading them:

Urie perfectly rapping Guns and Ships is now my favourite thing, especially considering he��d do it with a perfectly straight face. Like ‘oh this? this is nothing’ while everyone stares at him like -_-

I’m pretty sure that Storm in Lover came from my ‘the names can be weird af’, but you chose the one which is sung by the girl that I’m sure would be his absolute favourite.  whoops, my idol trash side is showing again.

Thank you so much for this ;-; It’ll serve as motivation for me to survive next week which is the last one this school year with exams (and they’re the hardest ones, whooo). THEN I’M DONE AND CAN WATCH TONS OF ANIME AND REDA MANGA AND WRITE AND SLEEP AND RELAX IN GENERAL BECAUSE NO MORE SCHOOL FUCKING FINALLY.

We all make mistakes when trying something for the first time, so it’s completely normal that you added too much water ^^ Now you know how much you should(n’t) add the next time you draw :p  Ah, that’s great to hear! Now you have somewhere to draw where it won’t be as bad as if you painted on normal paper.

We used to paint a lot with watercolours and temperas in elementary school, and my drawing always ended up being disfigured blobs of colour. So I’m sure yours are perfect ^^

The useless things I usually end up remembering are usually animal facts (and, for some ??? reason, heights and blood types of characters. don’t question it). Here are my proudest goldfish moments: Search for glasses for 15-20 minutes only to realise they were on top of my head all the time. Thinking I lost my ID only for it to be buried deep inside my bad. Finding a fork in my bed (I’m not joking, I somehow managed to leave a fork there for some twisted reason). And my favourite: Being late and looking for my shoe for around 5 mins to realise I already put it on. Yeah, I’m not very smart. 

Yes, Burr is very shippable. Musical Burr, at least. I ship him with Angelica, Eliza, Ham (to some degree) and Lee. Man, that’s a lot of Burr ships. 

Ask him a question: it glances off, he obfuscates, he dances

Honestly, no so much ^^;; I mean, I’ve watched the Iron Man (and went through the obligatory Robert Downey Jr. fangirl phase, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America (1st part) and Ant Man, but that’s it ^^;; However, I was planning on having a marathon during the summer, because I like superhero movies (that probably explains my obsession with BnHA which is a superhero manga.)
