Messy knoraldo scribbles, I just think clingy gf Knorri has a tendency to jump onto him constantly. It caught Waldo off guard at first but he’s getting better at catching her !!!

[oysters-aint-for-me]

still thinking abt a post i saw a few days ago that was an old 2014 destiel post and it was you know all-caps enthusiastic (which is FINE) and it was comparing destiel to other “actual” tv bromances to show that destiel was NOT a bromance but a legit romance (which it WAS i know) but a couple of the example “bromances” were: troy and abed (community). turk and JD (scrubs). shawn and gus (psych). and i was like 🤔 ok…genre and ultimate canon outcomes aside…what ELSE do all three of those “bromances” have in common… 🤔🤔

I really did enjoy throne of glass. But there’s one thing that’s still genuinely baffling to me.

At the very end of the book, the main character sees and talks a little bit about this dude she was hired by. His name is Lord Urizen (??) hes such a background character hes not even mentioned on the wiki. Why the FUCK is he named Urizen.

[indieyuugure]

Are you able to give like a quick review of (almost)every injury Leo got in the invasion arc?

I love ur au btw

I am indeed!

Okay, so the most obvious ones are the ones on his shell, which he got from The Shredder. They’re actually one continuous slash from his carapace to the side of his plastron.

He didn’t have quite as much missing from his back, but after getting thrown through the window, he lost the strip running down the middle.

Basically, it used to look like the first picture, but now it looks like the second.

He also got shot by an arrow in his right knee, which shattered his patella(kneecap bone) and messed up a bunch of stuff. Thankfully though the arrow didn’t nick the artery in his leg when it went in or when he pulled it out.

He wears a brace on his knee the help relieve the pressure and strain when he’s out and about or fighting. It still hurts when it rains, and he can’t kick with that leg anymore, but for the most part it’s healed up.

His voice also gets pretty jacked up. You can see in this picture I made of Raph and him, he has a lot of bruises on his neck and throat. When he wakes up to he hates the way his voice sounds. Raph tries to hide his partial envy of Leo’s hardcore sounding voice, and also tries to help him like it too.

I’m still not 100% how I could convey that over text other than character’s commenting on it, or possibly changing his color to be a darker shade of blue, though I think I’ll just stick with the comments and in universe repercussions.

I hope this is what you meant, I wasn’t exactly sure which Leo you were talking about, but I figured it was probably this one :\

Good question! :]

I don’t care about gentiles anymore. I’m sorry. It’s cruel and I don’t want to be this way. It’s just that after all my family and I have been through since October 7th, I don’t have the time or energy to care about people who don’t even think about me. It’s for self preservation. I don’t wanna be hurt or betrayed again. I feel exhausted. The people devastated about what trump is doing cheered for crimes against jews. My heart keeps breaking and breaking. I can’t stop thinking about all the people being deported by trump. It’s so evil. I can’t stop thinking about all that has happened to me and my family and how no one cares. I can’t stop thinking about white privileged jews telling me this group and that group has it worse than me. As if everything in my life hasn’t gone to shit. Narrowly escaping hate crimes everyday. My family isn’t so lucky. Do you even know? Do you know the jewish kids can’t walk the street because people keep throwing bottles at them? Do you know? Do you care? Do you know that our schools keep being damaged in every way possible? When firebombing isn’t enough they find other methods because they thirst for our blood. Do you know how scared shitless our neighborhoods are? Do you even know what Mizrahi Jews have to go through? You can be so racist to us and then have the audacity to say “us jews don’t have it so bad”. Well that’s easy for your white ass to say. I am not white. You have no idea what it’s like to be a Moroccan Jew in France. It’s so easy to forget us. Do better. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/08/europe/antisemitic-graffiti-france-homes-businesses-intl-latam/index.html

Mizrahi Jews in France are most likely to be hardcore Zionist btw unless they are leftist in which they will make antisemitism worse for us by participating in it. have you never noticed how anti Zionist Jews are mainly white or mizrahi who call themselves “Arab” and Marxist and atheist????

Do you even know Ilan Halimi? Do you even know about the Toulouse and Montauban shootings?

Do you even know that nazi hunter serge klarsfeld backed NR over the left which is a huge deal considering how much he hates the right? People clowned him but I understand him. I really do.

[toomanywatchers]

Happy 5-year anniversary to Watcher Entertainment! And in loo of the anniversary, @watcherwiki has organized a lil event here on Tumblr for fans to list their top 5 Watcher shows.

Any who, here are my top 5 Watcher shows!

5.) Making Watcher

To some, they may think this is an insane pick to be in my top 5, BUT if you know me, I love documentaries. Literally, the comfort series I watch when I'm feeling down is The Imagineering Story on Disney+. I just love seeing the behind-the-scenes of how Watcher runs and kind of getting a look back at what happened that year- wait... I just realized we didn't get one this year... fuck... still love it though!

4.) Dish Granted

I was rewatching some of my favorite episodes and honestly this show is just so pure at heart. The amount of creative willpower that Steven puts himself through to perfectly craft the dream dish of the guest is just so wholesome. And it’s even better that he’s not a trained chef and instead a normal guy in the kitchen which leads to some fails, but also successes. I do miss this show dearly, but I also know it stresses the FUCK out of Steven so I get why it had to go… but can we get a Professor episode please?

3.) Puppet History

This show truly encapsulates what Watcher first set out to make their company about: Curiosity Meets Comedy. It’s witty, educational, lore-heavy, and is run by a little blue guy. I’m so excited for this upcoming season especially with that premiere episode on Watcher TV right now? Phenomenal!

2.) Travel Season

Before I was Watcher fan, I was a Worth It fan. Yes, this show came out during a bad time for Watcher and many folks did not give it a try because of everything, but this show is absolutely beautiful. The idea to travel to one place and experience everything about that one place with your best buds makes this show such a feel-good show. The vibes are like cuddling up on the couch with a blanket with the fire place on in fall. It is just sooooo homey. Also the intro? Hands down Watcher’s best intro.

and my number 1 is…

1.) Weird (and/or) Wonderful World

Of course WWW is my top favorite show. I wouldn’t be here or wouldn’t have made all my past memes and edits if it weren’t for WWW. This show’s wacky editing style along with the exploration of such odd yet charming places is just peak for me. This is the show that truly solidified me as a hardcore Watcher fan! And don’t even ask me how many times I’ve watched the whole series because it’s too many times. Also my favorite Watcher video ever is still the roller derby episode as it’s editing is peak and watching the boys attempt roller derby is fucking hilarious (also love Woe tbh she was the best teacher/coach).

And that’s my list!

(btw i stole this layout from @bergoop because i thought it looked nice but also i have never made gifs before so i apologize if they look like trash… i tried lol)

[ghost-bxrd]

Hi! I was wondering how Talon! Dick would react to Jason getting hurt during patrol or maybe getting sick and leaving him unable to talk, or when he does it's super raspy and quiet, and he can barely make his own noises too? 🦉

Okidoki let’s go with him being sick! (Cuz, you know, him being hurt and unable to talk… at all, is gonna happen in about… oh! Thirty days!) If it’s the first time it happens, Dick absolutely assumes Jason is dying and panics accordingly.

You know that stupid cold where you wake up one morning after feeling completely fine the day before but suddenly your throat feels like you swallows razors and any sound you try to make is like a crow on crack? Yeah. Like that.

Dick absolutely loses it and starts going straight into hardcore survival mode. Jason gets squirreled away into the most remote place in the manor with dozens of blankets and pillows. Food and water vanishes from the kitchens, along with whatever kind of first aid meds and utensils he can scrounge from the cave before Bruce comes back.

When Alfred and Bruce return from a gala… the manor is quiet. Too quiet. And Bruce immediately heads to Dick and Jason’s rooms only to find them both empty. Cue: Bruce and Alfred start panicking because the place looks like a tornado blew through it. The nests are gone, everything is in disarray, and the boys are nowhere in sight.

Conclusion: a kidnapping must have occurred.

So while Batman inspires the fear of god in every small time criminal and rogue on the streets by being MUCH MORE violent than usual (by the end of the night everyone knows to stay indoors if you’re crooked cuz the Bat’s gone crazy looking for his birds) and some of the more sensible rogues band together to find out who took Talon and Robin (nobody), Dick is still freaking out because he’s sure Jason is dying (he’s not, calm down Dickiebird).

Jason just lays back and allows the smothering (and is very happy when he finally manages to get Dick to bring him a pen and notepad for communication), Dick calms down considerably once they’ve established Jason is just a little sick (“Yes, cuddles actually help. No I’m not shitting you, they do! Btw get me some ibuprofen pls”) and not, in fact, dying. (Dick doesn’t fully believe it but Jason is still snarky so it can’t be too bad quite yet right?)

Alfred ends up finding them while Dick is down in the kitchens searching for the ibuprofen and very nearly starts yelling before thinking better of it (he was very worried okay cut him some slack).

Thirty minutes later Bruce is also back at the manor (after nearly causing several head on collisions) and hovering anxiously, torn between lecturing his kids and just— holding them and never letting go.

Why is it so fucking funny that Eddie scares Steve a lot on purpose and Steve scares Gareth just accidentally. Because now I’m imagining Eddie being frustrated because he can never scare Gareth and Steve does it without trying

Gareth’s parents are a stereotype of good parents from a small town. It’s as if you put all the good qualities of sitcom parents into a blender and poured them into two people.

They are supportive and kind. Gareth’s dad coached his little league baseball team (Steve was on this team too, btw) and never yelled at a kid once even when one kid ran the bases in the wrong direction. His mom was the Classroom Mother every year throughout elementary school. Hell, Gareth’s mother was the second adult that Eddie came out to.

Gareth’s parents are also hardcore horror fans.

Gareth has been going to haunted houses and cornfield mazes since he was a toddler, he grew up watching every horror movie they could get on tape, and Eddie could not scare him. It drove him crazy.

And it’s not that Eddie can’t make Gareth flinch. He can! If he raises his voice in the cafeteria or climbed on the table, if he sneered in the face of a bully and the bully hits back, if Eddie tsked at his D&D character’s next move – Gareth flinched.

But if Eddie jumped out to scare him? Nothing. Zilch. Nada.

It was infuriating. Even more so because Steve could jump scare him in his sleep.

It’s a case of bad luck, bad timing, or a terrible sleep schedule because Gareth is always the one awake when Harrington starts being weird on tour.

He woke up once and Steve was just staring at him with this blank empty look on his face. Gareth had the top bunk and slept with his back to the wall. Steve’s face was mere inches away from his when Gareth opened his eyes. He startled back so fast that his head hit the side of the bus hard enough to wake Jeff up.

 He went to the bathroom once in the middle of the night and when he opened the door, Steve was standing right there. He wasn’t even sleepwalking this time, just impatient about needing to piss.

Gareth couldn’t sleep one night when he heard Steve get out of bed. All he did was stand in the middle of the little sitting area of the bus, muttering something to himself. It didn’t seem like Eddie was going to wake up any time soon, so Gareth got out of bed and went to get him.

He grabbed Steve’s shoulder to put him back in bed when Steve swung at him, microphone stand in hand. Gareth stumbled back so fast, he tripped over his feet. He watched Steve with an eerily blank face raise the mic stand over his head, but never made contact when he swung down because there was a hand there suddenly.

Eddie’s hand was tight around the stand when Steve tried to pull it back and his eyes were uncharacteristically serious, but his tone was light, “Stevie, baby. It’s me. It’s Eddie. Where are you at in that big head of yours because we’re not there. The gate is closed. You’re on tour with me and Gareth. You’re safe. Everybody is safe.”

Once Gareth woke up, saw that Steve wasn’t with Eddie in the bunk below him and found him standing at the bus’ door. The bus that was currently going sixty miles per hour down the interstate. Gareth’s heart doesn’t stop pounding in his chest for hours after he convinced Steve to get back in bed.

I GOT WAR FLASHBACKS FROM THE REDDIT MENTION OMG-!!

Fuck Twilight reddit tbh. Twilight tik tok is right up there too but I at least encounter some team Jacob accounts that are popular and clap right back in the comments so thats at least smth 😭

istg there's so much coping and bending over backwards to defend their favorite white cullenizers lmfao 🥴🥴

"he's frozen at 17!!!" yeah but he's been 17 for DECADES. if he had time to get medical degrees then you'd think he'd know better than engage in creep behavior. Also, Jacob is 16 and unlike Edwin, has only been 16 for an ACTUAL while. But sure, keep defending the 100+ year old "17 yr old" vampire who had all that time to learn is supposedly soooo "mature" vs the 16 yr old who's an actual teenager.

"he learned from his behavior/prejudices!!" bitch WHERE?? even after he claims to Bella he's "learned", he STILL calls Jacob dog, mutt and mongrel even at BD, does NOTHING to stick up for Jacob/the pack when the visiting vampires look down or insult them. FUCK the cullens for that. If they were smart they'd get together literally ANYWHERE else, and NOT anywhere near where the tribe who's people are forced to shift when vampires are around. "B-but Alice's vision says they'll gather there! 🥺" Change the meet up, then!! It's not like the Volturi will leave you alone if you don't show up! Dumbasses.

"jacob assaulted bella and kept forcing himself to her when she wasn't interested!!!" this one makes me laugh the most tbh. They ALWAYS use the Eclipse KissTM as a gotcha every time someone even says they're Team Jacob or defends him. Also, so many of them revise history to where they act like it was Jacob who kept pursuing Bella in New Moon when really it was BELLA who went to him FIRST (with the intention of using him for the bikes to feed her Edward delulus), and it was BELLA who kept leading him on (btw, twilight reddit also copes about how she "didn't" 🙄) and didnt set firm boundaries. Then again, most Team Edweirdos skip New Moon and only read the "vampire parts" so it's not our fault they conflate Eclipse (where Jacob actually disrespects boundaries in some parts) and New Moon (where he's being an honest friend). Maybe don't make up events against Jacob if yall dont know what your talking about!! 🥴🥴

sdkjhkjrwiu sorry for the longish rant it's just,,,The mention of Twilight reddit opened the flood gates for me lolll

also, it's funny how a lot of hardcore Team Edward weirdos bend over backwards to defend Bella's bland ass characterization and Smeyer's writing. 🤓

CULLENIZERS!!!!! HOW HAVE I NEVER USED THIS TERM OMFG ckskdksk. Yeah it’s legit everywhere… on Instagram I commented on a Jake x Bella post saying something like “god I love them.” And just by saying that someone replies being like EWWWW WHAT??? BUT WHAT ABOUT ECLIPSE KISS TM

lmfsofksk I’m like so jaded by now idgaf

im so goddamn tired of Jacob being the only one in the saga who gets ripped on to this extent.

Everything you’re saying I’m just nodding along like yes, yes, yes TELL EM ANON!!

luckily I blocked so much out of BD cause to me my BD rewrite fic is actual canon so I forget so much of it. But When I’m reminded I’m like just disgusted… like the fact there’s like a million new 13 year old wolves or some shit bc of all the new vamps that came to visit??? Fuck off actually oh my god CAN YALL FUCK OFFFFF. Someone asked me why I don’t have Brady and Colin or whatever their names are in my fic im like cuz LET THEM BE CHILDREN I’m not entertaining this idc idc. The pack has gone through enough smh.

The cullens and bella actually have learned nothing throughout the story and nothing changed whatsoever. The only thing that changed was Bella became a vamp and Jake imprinted. Things that are both horrible tragedies imo. So it forces them to change who they are but it’s not like a natural character arc nor is it a development. It’s plot convenience that strips Jacob and Bella’s character completely.

completely agree lmfao legit they just hate Jacob cause he gets in the way. A lot of them admit to skipping new moon entirely or Jacob parts. And that’s fine they can do that but like don’t make weird ass shit like talking about BELLA NEVER LOVE JACOB LIKE THAT SHE LOVED HIM LIKE A BROTHER. Ummmm okay! You need to go back and reread some parts otherwise you’re lookin kinda weird cuz that was NOT no brother sister relationship lmao. Bella and Jacob are literally dating without the label starting New Moon. Be fucking serious like… they almost kiss, they’re always cuddling holding hands. She sees a future with him with kids and explicitly they both say they are IN LOVE with each other. Now listen yall gotta take it up with smeyer why the fuck she wrote them like that all for Bells to be his godmother 💀💀💀💀💀 why did she make Jake a love interest for Bella if she knew she was gonna do that the whole time.

Well, here’s what actually happened and why team Jacob even exists in the first place. There’s a clear split as to what this series is. There’s Twilight and Forever Dawn and then there’s New Moon and Eclipse. She wrote Jake cuz her publisher needed more and she ended up naturally writing the better love interest for Bella, became attached to his character and couldn’t stop writing him. But then she changed Nothing about forever Dawn… so that’s what BD is and why it doesn’t at all match up with the last two books. This is why it’s so easy for me to discard BD like it’s a rotten ass fruit…..

Like I love Jacob cause he’s flawed, nuanced and the only one with common sense in this damn series. He starts as a sweetie sun boy in new moon and then he turns into a dick and an asshole sometimes. I think this is an unpopular decision but I actually like this about Jacob lol. Could you imagine he was sunny boy Jake throughout the shit he’s put through? For what? For him to get even MORE walked on? Nah fuck that. He should be angry. It IS shitty that smeyer made it so that the wolves cant control their anger and are supposed to be hostile though cause this contributes to even more problematic shit. But I certainly understand Jake being an angsty dick when he is. Now, this makes him flawed. He is not perfect and I know that and that’s what I like about him.

He’s actually a fuckin idiot especially with the eclipse kiss and he shouldn’t have done that. I get called an assault apologist solely for being team Jake or whatever like it just makes me roll my eyes in the back of my head. Everyone seems to think that Jacob is just “trying to get some” with Bella. He’s not a fuckin rapist like they make him out to be idgaf. He did not force himself on Bella in new moon. They almost kissed but he didn’t force the kiss. He’s a stupid teenager that doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing, let’s be real. The eclipse kiss happened not because he was “trying to get some” but because he was trying to make Bella see she did have feelings for him. This is dumb but this was his thinking. Essentially trying to wake her up from the vampire thrall she’s under and maybe make her see she doesn’t have to die and stay human. I don’t believe he would’ve kissed her like this if Edward hadn’t come back in the picture and she tells him she’s going to die or WORSE become his enemy that he may have to KILL in only a few weeks. Jacob even says it didn’t matter she chose someone else over him, it wasn’t about that. It was because she was GOING TO DIE. This is just his perspective and it wasn’t RIGHT. He shouldn’t have done it. Smeyer also tried to make Edwin look better too and tried to make him look like the “mature” one and Jake to be the out of control one. Which again, problematic.

But yeah I’m just tired of the eclipse kiss being the only thing brought up lol. But the confederate and his shitty control freak wife are angels<333 they’re the good guys! Edward’s obsessive stalking a week into knowing Bella I feel is horrible and violating but ok go off! He legit watches her from the bushes at her house, snoops through her things, watches her in her sleep. She doesn’t consent to any of this. But this is “fine” because Bella had no reaction to it? Uh yeah cause she is a teenager who hates herself and is obsessed with edwin. and throughout the books he’s just overall manipulative, pretentious, condescending and controlling. But no, he’s the good guy okay lol. Like I’d prefer if they were just honest about it. Like can’t we agree they’re both morally grey… it just annoys me that they make it seem like Edward is a perfect angel?

The appeal of vampires in general is that they’re toxic and morally grey. I love a toxic vampire. It’s all about how a story is written tho. the issue is that the cullens pretend that they aren’t? This is what is annoying as fuck about them to me. They are made out to be perfect and innocent, especially in Bella’s pov. This is why I don’t like them. Bc they ARE toxic mostly in the non-hot ways (colonizers, racist, billionaires who treat bella like some doll) but try to mask this and it’s seen as good? This is also what makes Edwards stalking not hot.. he just seems like a fuckin pathetic creep LMFAO. Sitting outside her house thinking about meteors hitting it and shit 🙄🙄 like it’s all under the guise of protection. No. Just be a vampire freak. Be honest!!!! It’s not about protecting Bella lol you’re just goddamn obsessed. Edward pursued her cause her scent and he can’t read her mind. It really is that simple but I’m supposed to believe it’s love? And Bella fall for him because literally ANY human would fall for a vampire. It’s like in their design. Like just be honestttt. And then the edwinos wants to talk about shitty things Jacob does but thinks the stalking and shit is fine? Like it doesn’t make sense to me lmao. Just admit that Edward is a toxic freak and that’s why you love him. That is perfectly fine. But no… they see him as he can do no wrong. I prefer the volturi and nomads. Give me an evil little vampire who is honest about their intentions.

Also never apologize for screaming into the void that’s my inbox. It’s a safe space here <33333

A3! Main Story: Part 4 - Act 14: DREAM CATCHER - Episode 8: Encounter

Kumon: I’m looking forward to Sumi-san’s performance~

Izumi: The final day is soon, so I’m glad you get a chance to see it.

[Car hitting the brakes]

Kumon: A taxi…?

Tenma: Sorry, I got held up.

Kumon: Good work! There’s still some time until the show starts, so you’re fine.

Izumi: Is your job that busy, Tenma-kun?

Tenma: Nah, it wasn’t work…

Izumi: ?

Kumon: He bought triangle goodies! A store was having a Kyoto fair, so he bought lots of yatsuhashi~

Kumon: There’s red bean paste flavor, and cinnamon, and matcha, chocolate, strawberries, banana, curry–

Tenma: It’s too much! I didn’t even know curry flavor existed…

Izumi: What now? It’s a little early, but should we head to the theater?

Tenma: Since the final performance is soon, should we get him some flowers?

Kumon: I wonder if there’s triangle flowers?

Tenma: Of course not.

Izumi: Ah, there’s a good flower shop nearby.

-

Izumi: Hello.

Towa: Yeees– Woah, the Summer Troupe!?!?

Towa: Eh– Wh- Why are Tenma-kun and Kumon-kun from the Summer Troupe in our shop!?

Izumi: This shop is run by Towa-kun’s aunt. Towa-kun is the Spring Troupe fan we were talking about before.

Tenma: I see, so this is the infamous…

Kumon: Hello~!

Towa: H-HHHHello!

Kumon: So, we’re going to watch Sumi-san’s performance, and we wanted to buy him some flowers–

Towa: Ah! Misumi-san’s the triangle oshi, right!

Tenma: This conversation’s too fast to keep up with…

Towa: My aunt is out right now, so all that’s available is the ready-made bouquets, but if you’re fine with that…

Towa: With Misumi-san’s image in mind, I think this bouquet with lots of yellow dahlias might be good.

Kumon: Yuppers, this is good! It’s SO Sumi-san!

Tenma: Good eye.

Izumi: Let’s go with that, then.

Towa: Aaaand, tah-dah! A triangle paper bag!

Kumon: Wooow…!

Towa: It’s made like this so the bouquet doesn’t come undone, but I think it’s perfect for Misumi-san…!

Izumi: Thank you for the perfectly fitting choice, Towa-kun.

Towa: No, thank you very much! I’ll prepare it immediately!

Izumi: By the way, how’s your theater troupe coming? Have you gathered the members?

Towa: Well… I did ask my friends, but their responses were kinda…

Towa: Some turned me down because they’re not interested, and others have already joined another troupe…

Kumon: Since there are more troupes now, many people must’ve been recruited~

Towa: I feel like I totally missed the beat here.

Izumi: I see…

Izumi: (I’d like to help, but I don’t have anyone in mind…)

Ibuki: Heyaaa. I’m from Dozono Stoooore.

Izumi: Eh?

Kumon: Huh!? Ibukichi!?

Ibuki: We sure see each other a lot. Does MANKAI Company often appear around these parts?

Towa: That’s not it at all!!! It’s rare!!! You shouldn’t think you can meet them so easily!

Towa: I’m trying not to get used to this, too. I try not to forget how in middle school I was satisfied with just watching them through a screen.

Towa: I’ve been so lucky ever since I got here that it’s gotten easy to forget. But I need to not take it for granted because otherwise karma will hit me hard.

Izumi: You’re the same as always, Towa-kun.

Kumon: I get it! You’re a hardcore fan, right?

Ibuki: You’re sorta familiar. How’s your name written?

Towa: With the “To” from peach and the “wa” from peace…

Ibuki: Oh–

Towa: ?

Tenma: Also, what’s the Dozono Store?

Ibuki: Oh, we’re a grocery store. I’m here for a delivery. BTW, my IRL name is Ibuki Dozono.

Ibuki: Daddy’s been extra hard on Ibuki ‘cause he strained his back~

Kumon: Ibukichi’s family runs a grocery store...!?

Tenma: That’s a surprise…

Towa: U-Um, you’re Ibuki-kun? You know MANKAI Company, right?

Towa: D-Does that mean… You might be interested in theater…?

Ibuki: Eh? Not at all.

Towa: Bummer…

Izumi: Were you going to recruit them for your troupe?

Towa: Yes…

Tenma: This easygoing recruitment style reminds me of a certain someone.

Ibuki: Towa, if you could sign here~

Towa: Okay…

Ibuki: Well, I’ve still got deliveries to make, so see ya.

[Ibuki runs off]

Towa: *sigh*...

Izumi: (That reminds me, Ibuki-kun has no interest whatsoever in theater, yet they somehow knew about MANKAI Company…)

-

Ibuki: …

Iv has entered the chat Iv: found him shiki: who? Kar: must be a 10 yen coin Iv: you’ll be wrong no matter how many times you say that. I’ve just had some coincidence happen shiki: what happened? Iv: it’s p interesting, so i’ll keep it under wraps

I’ve been a hardcore “swiftie” (ugh) since 2008 and even I am so TIRED of her antics. The album is not even out but I’m already pissed at the angle she’s taking regarding her relationship with Joe. All these references to him not wanting her to shine, her having to give up her voice for him (??) are completely INSANE!! She didn’t have to give up SHIT for him!! If anything the privacy she had with him made her look more mature and classy and greatly contributed to the great public finally focusing on her music and considering her a “serious artist” in the folkmore era. And btw she’s the one who wanted Joe to give up things that are important to him (privacy, acting roles to spend more time with her, his decision to not marry her yet, etc) so this narrative she’s spinning of her being the poor victim when the power imbalance between them is and has always been HUGE is truly mental of her. Don’t even get me started on the whole NFL and Travis circus, these two attention whores deserve each other and Joe dodged a massive bullet, he did well to stand his ground and not get trapped in a marriage with her and I hope he stays thriving and moisturised like the clever gentleman with values that he is. I hate to realise after all this time that Calvin, Katy, etc were all right about her.

She needs therapy and better friends so bad.

It's good to see more people waking up to the real ts.

[bigbrothersleg]

dang you are getting hounded by anons 😭 but too bad I am here to pile on more xx

idc what anyone says— it was Never going to be little brother… like ever at all lmao

like when big brother is saying that he’ll be the one to “do it” I 100% believe that that is him deciding right there (and probably even before that tbh) that HE was going to die in LB’s place so that HE could live, he didn’t care about the others safety half as much as he cared about his. it would be mate or the captain before it was going to be LB if he weren’t so good hearted, but he was Always going to be the one, even if his brother would hate him for it (and he did for a little bit imo, the meat was bitter because his tongue was coated in unspoken curses on BB’s name, so full of love but so full of anger… #to#me)

I’m sure he didn’t like Want to die but if I take a lol around at anything we know about him… biggest of all being that he wanted nothing more than for his brother to be safe (and also ?? feeling like his parents don’t love him ??? we don’t talk about that enough lmao like his solo in MITC is so crazy actually… ouchie big brother ouchie… if he didn’t have his brother then he had nothing to return to but the farm and even then… help with the farm is the only reason he’s been kept around in his mind… erm… 😟🔫)

in my head he’s only like max 22-23 owwwwwwwww big brother I need to give you a kiss and a hug my poor sweetheart </3 rip to a king

tldr; big brother was never going to let little brother sacrifice himself it was always going to be him instead and his angst is insane and delicious

sigh.. maybe one day I’ll come off of anon and be a freak to your face (also I see that you also enjoy the outsiders… a person of Taste.. 🤝)

i can't express how i do a backflip every time i see i got a reply or anon message,, KEEP EM COMING

i think when im actively watching i refuse to accept a reality where BB was going to die (NOT THAT I WANT LB TO DIE INSTEAD!!! maybe this show is just too tragic for me.) i wouldn't claim him as suicidal just because he seems so motivated by looking out for LB and serving god, but i do believe there was never a moment of doubt when LB was chosen to die that he would go in his place. "if he weren't so good hearted" i love btw. his angst IS insane and delicious and like 60% of the reason i love this show so so much. stark sands my king. i'm 20 and not close with my older sister (22) but can only imagine the love i'd feel being chased onto a whaling ship and being told all they want out of the rest of their life is to take me by the hand and lead me home :(((( i might start crying in accounting class honest to god.

now a little about me! in response to you saying maybe you'll come off of anon and be a freak to my face (please do). i was just like you a mere week ago!! a hardcore tumblr lurker (especially for outsiders stuff) but never interacted with anyone or posted my own thoughts because i was shy. but then i fell in love with swept away and there was truly a depressing amount of stuff out there for me to consume about it, so i became the fandom blogger I needed. and bigbrothersleg was born!! so all that being said, do it!!!! there are so few of us and this blog has had such a warm reception that i'm so glad i made a place to 1. get all my thoughts out and 2. let other people read stuff about something they like too :))

tldr: ty for being here anon, i've loved making this little blog and being able to chit chat with people like you, even if you stay anon :,)

[reverie-starlight]

um not me realizing that I’ve never sent in a request 😭

ok so hear me out

Paper rings feels like such a Kuroo song like it’s just so fun and cute. but like particularly

“In the winter in the icy outdoor pool

When you jumped in first, i went in too

I’m with you even if it makes me blue”

bc it’s just so silly and makes me giggle

you can do whatever you please with this, but the thought has been plaguing my mind for days now😭

much love 💕

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS OMFG <333

AND YOU'RE SO RIGHT BECAUSE??? IT IS SO KUROO.

(forgive me for making this less of a formal fic and more of a fluffy ramble, I'm a bit over excited rn so this will definitely be all over the place but I hope you enjoy it anyway!!)

this is all under the pretense that it's university/pre-timeskip!kuroo but still timeskip!kuroo and gn!reader btw

(also just a disclaimer, please don't jump into a freezing pool if you have alcohol in your system, this is purely for entertainment purposes, okay thanks <3)

ANYWAY!!!

you're at a party with him sometime during your university days- just a house party, no one's really outside talking or blasting music for the neighborhood to hear, but the pool is still uncovered for some reason.

and let's be real, I don't think kuroo is much of a hardcore party person (he'll go to parties and have fun but he's not the type to go every weekend or whatever, maybe like one or two every few months) which the party is probably hosted by, like, bokuto or one of his old teammates.

so obviously that means you're sleeping over so you can let loose and have fun.

you both mostly keep to yourselves at the party, sipping your drinks and snickering at all the antics happening around you both. it's nice to just be with him and not have to worry about anything for a night.

but when the last people have gone and you guys are getting ready for bed in the guest room of the house? he stares out the window overlooking the backyard and proposes an idea that truly has you questioning his sanity.

"you want to what now?" you ask him incredulously.

he just grins at you and grabs your hand, sneaking you back downstairs as quietly as possible. you thank every higher power you could think of that the party host was a known heavy sleeper, especially when he's had a few, because your boyfriend is stumbling as he tries to guide you down the stairs in the dark, giggling the whole time. the alcohol was mostly out of his system by now, and yours, thanks to the water you both got down in between drinks.

honestly, you can't help but follow him outside when he strips his shirt and jumps into the pool.

"shit! it's cold!" he calls from the water.

you snort and shake your head fondly. "it's december, dumbass. the pool shouldn't even be open."

"come in with me!" he says, but you're already removing your sweater and jumping in to join him.

you squeal as the water hits your skin, and you can already see your nails turning a bit blue. "not for long though, okay? don't want us to get sick. plus you've had drinks tonight, we should move to the shallow end just in case."

he nods in agreement and follows you closer to where your feet could touch the bottom. he wraps his arms around your torso and rests his head on your forehead. you stay like that for a while and then decide that it's way too cold to stay in any longer, so you get out and head back inside.

"well, babe, was it worth it?"

he blushes and heads into the bathroom on the main floor, grabbing a clean towel to dry his hair, tossing you a second one. "alright, I'll admit- it wasn't my best plan, but hey, now we can say we've gone skinny dipping?"

"tetsu, my love, that was not skinny dipping," you snort, wrapping yourself in the towel and then slipping your sweater back on. it baffled you sometimes how he was clueless about some things but knowledgeable with others.

he looks confused as he follows you back up the stairs to the guest room. "then what's skinny dipping?"

you fully laugh while plugging in the electric heater and grabbing the extra blankets the host left on the dresser. "that'll be another night's adventure. right now let's focus on warming back up, baby."

he grumbles a little about how he could just look it up if you weren't going to tell him, but digressed and changed into a warmer set of sleep clothes. neither of you wanted to run the risk of freezing in the middle of the night, after all.

after all that, you still weren't really tired yet, so you sat on the bed in front of the heater and your boyfriend sat at the dresser, busying himself with some paper.

soon enough he was standing in front of you, holding a paper ring out to you with a proud, boyish grin on his face. "I made this for you," he stated.

you smiled and put your phone down, letting him slide his creation onto your ring finger. "hmm, so does this mean we're engaged now?" you teased.

he chuckled and scooted you both under the covers, laying down with you and caressing your cheek. you'd both agreed that you wanted to get married some day, but not until you were both done with your degrees. still, that didn't stop either of you from joking around about it... or faking proposals in restaurants for free dessert.

"not yet, babe, but soon. we'll finish school first, then maybe I'll tell you about the ring I've been eyeing for months now. I think you'll like it. just need to save up for it now."

you knocked your forehead against his and smiled softly. "you know I don't need a ring," you held up your hand. "hell, you could reuse this as my engagement ring later on and I'd still be ecstatic."

he kissed your nose before resting his face in the crook of your neck. "I know, sweetheart, and I appreciate that. but trust me- you're getting a ring. a damn nice one, too, exactly what you deserve." he leans in and leaves quick pecks all over your face. "and my baby deserves nothing but the best."

you giggle and try to push him away. "okay, okay, I get it!" he finally leaves you be and stares into your eyes for a minute.

"I love you."

"I love you too," you smile back at him and press a kiss against his lips.

satisfied, he turns around and shuts the lamp off, wishing you a goodnight and throwing an arm around your waist.

not even five minutes later, he shifts and groans out "it's so hot in here now!"

yeah, the pool definitely wasn't the best idea.

I'm sorry this took literally FOREVER, but I'm happy with how it turned out!! and I'm happy to finally have new writing out after a million years lol

if it's a bit choppy in some places, just note that I'm only just getting back into the swing of writing again, it's been weeks and I'm rusty.

[gojoest]

ok i am finally home and it’s STORYTIME WITH THE WAITER !! *rubs hands together* long post btw my thoughts are very hectic i am sleep deprived and hungover so excuse me t-t

so last night we went to this place with 2 of my coworkers (that are also close friends of mine) — it’s a club restaurant actually, the music is chill and not so loud until about 10-10:30pm so you can eat and chat with friends and then after that it’s showtime (hot men put on a show, they dance and strip, the latter is not that hardcore btw). turns out they organize different shows every night so it’s not always that. ANYWAY, we had a waitress assigned to our table but the place was so full and she was busy running around catering to everyone so instead of waiting i asked the waiter in question for the menu :3 so he brought us 3 and was like “sorry my coworker is very busy, if she can’t handle all her tables i will gladly take care of you tonight”. guys he is super cute i tell you, he’s got that big smile on his face all the time and a super positive energy flowing from him + he jokes around with ease and just seems to be so easygoing and friendly and i find that so attractive NOT TO MENTION he is very handsome and has a beard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sadly though he didn’t end up taking our table bc the waitress made it work somehow, she was super lovely btw <3 he was constantly passing by our table though and we both shamelessly stared at each other every time lmao

anyway as the night went on and we downed 4 bottles of wine and started dancing my mischievous coworkers invited him to our table for a bit and he did not decline even though he was working, he just casually sat down with us and behaved like we’ve always known each other ajksdskas. so we poured him a glass of wine, said cheers and then danced a bit AND THEN t-t my coworker took an empty water bottle and spun it on the floor (do you see where i am going) and it ended up pointing towards me and the waiter t-t and that same coworker was like “you have to kiss her now, these are the rules” and i was like :0 just standing there like :0 what :0 what :0 he then came to me and looked me in the eyes and put his hands on my cheeks but didn’t kiss me immediately, i think he was waiting for my reaction like i’m going give you 3 secs to push me away if you don’t want to but ofc I DID WANT TO KISS HIM so we in fact kissed.

after we were done kissing my coworker literally placed the bottle between us again, didn’t spin it this time just put it there between us like ok round 2 now, keep going KSJHDKSJSAA and he looked at me and was like “how about you kiss me this time” with a smug smile. part of me wanted to slap him but a bigger part of me wanted to keep kissing him so that’s that sigh we kissed again. HE IS SUCH A GOOD KISSER it’s not my fault :/

later we had some time to chat and exchange numbers etc.. and im glad we did bc i wanted to apologize to him for what my friends pulled with that orchestrated spin the bottle. and he was like “i am very content things turned out that way actually and i hope you don’t mind it either, and also — i hope you are single too” <- he looked so cute saying this that i ended up kissing him again help. then we talked some more and kissed some more. around 3:30am we had to leave bc we had work in like a few hours so i called a taxi and he waited with me outside even though he was still at work (i hope he did not get in trouble for that + spending a lot of time with us t-t) and then opened the car door for me and told me to text him when i get home t-t but i forgot bc i was a bit drunk and all i wanted to do was sleep right away so i just passed out. BUT HE CALLED ME and was like you home safe? and i was like yep yepp !! then i saw that he texted me a few times to check on me and maybe got worried that i did not reply so he called t-t

today he kept texting me all day casually updating me on how his day is going + asking questions about my day and etc. he sent me a selfie in the morning and was like “ok since you’re not drunk anymore can you please look at me and confirm that you still like me” LMAO he is so !! doki doki !! makes me laugh a lot but also i want to punch him sometimes bc he’s so smug but then again i can’t bc he’s also very cute and pretty t-t anyway i shall keep you updated on mr waiter v_v WAIT actually he’s also an engineer but works as a waiter too + he’s a foreigner but has been living here for a long time, knows the language fluently and has the cutest tiny accent when saying certain words IT’S SO CUTE anyway i need to take a shower now i am so tired t-t

[hallucinateonpaperspines]

Is anyone else really disturbed by Breakdown’s end? Like I can’t watch anything zombie adjacent now because of that shit. Like? I respect the hardcore aspect, and it was a deliciously ironic end that, in my opinion, emphasized that no one was a bad/good guy while humanizing the cons. But, mercy on my soul, I STILL can't watch that episode without going into a panic attack.

Doesn’t help that during my first viewing I was young enough that the whole death/torture/desecration concept hadn’t quite hit my little noggin… or the fact that I accidentally skipped a few REALLY important episodes. So I went from “BD is a little banged up, but he’s fine, he’s with his bestie KO” (because child me Sucked at subtexts) to “Why is Breaks strapped down to a table? … why are they looking at him like that? … why is Knocky smiling like that? WAIT- why is he asking Screamy for help? Why is- WHAT THE FICKETY, WHY IS HE VIBRATING AND LOOKING LIKE THIS AND MAKING THAT SOUND?” And noped right out of there as soon as the exorcism vibes kicked in.

Also did not help that this was late at night, I was by myself, and my parents were under the assumption I was sleeping.

I did not, in fact, sleep that night.

I love TFP, I’m still in the fandom, and I’ve done everything but watch the Human Factor and that nightmare of an episode. I've read the scripts, seen reactions, individual clips, literally EVERYTHING but actually sit down and watch it. I tried once, in full daylight, but I had such a visceral reaction that I couldn’t make it past the title card.

I’m not a squeamish person, I’ve seen actual horror movies (more slasher-oriented but the Alien franchise can get me anytime), crime shows, and my major, by default, exposed me to some pretty gnarly stuff for educational purposes.

BTW our bodies are amazingly wonderful things, but please take care of yourselves! Hydrate, take a stretch, take a deep breath.

I’m not squeamish, but that whole thing has made me incredibly sensitive to just this horribly specific vibe of horror. The desecration, sadistic torture, and self-righteous hubris. It makes my skin crawl and I have to physically leave the room. Reading Frankenstein for my English class was a pain until I could figure out a way to mentally compartmentalize it.

My rage at the Doctor may have been slightly biased as a result.

Does anyone else have this? Where a source of childhood comfort also contains one of the foundational pieces that formed your fears?
