too much discourse in the inbox let's talk about mmj and vbs parallels
Minori- akito haruka- an airi- kohane shizuki- touya(character colors lol-> vbs and mmj have the exact same colors just in diff shades! Orange, blue(haruka even talks about wanting to see the 青 glowsticks and touya's last name has 青 lol) pink and teal
Minori and akito are both[severely abridged] very determined people who never give up ever, haruka and an are 1. Friends, and 2. They. They're similar they were both seen as like Perfect and the Ace(tho rhats more shizuku) and then haruka in the main story and an in singing in sync/bout for beside you start cracking and they're both the inspiration in the main story Airi and kohane- Idk enough about kohane to say anything definite(kohaneheads help me out please and thank you) However airi has always aspired to be an idol, but it's not where her natural talent lies and (she's really similar to ena!) Shizuku and touya. Okay so they're. I don't know enough about touya either shit. Touyaheads help.
SHIZUKU okay she's always been naturally talented but! This makes it so that 1 her hard work js never ever acknowledged ever. And 2 she feels pressured to Always be Perfect lest she disappoint someone and she's been in this mask *always* (sxcept for with airi) until mmj main story but after she's still stressed! That she will disappoint! She's so afraid that her own real self isn't enough and by contrast I also like touya but I like him because I like characters who think in PowerPoint presentations lol(not that shizuku doesn't she's so stupid ♡)

HELLOOO CAN I JOIN THE MATCH UP THING????
As for fandom Blue Lock please 😋🙏
My pronouns are she/her and i like it when people call me Casey its my favorite nickname (casey was my fav from tmnt)
Tbh i dont mind anyone. But it would be better with mfs who survived from second selection? Also expect that monk guy i dont even remember his name 👿🙏
-> I LOOOVE JAPANESE ROCK. i am a big ass nerd for it 🤓 i am also an artist i love putting my emotions to my creatures (mostly rage and sadness lmao) i love reading mangas mostly psychological or horror stuff to lose my sanity. I also love watching animations! I still watch Cars idk what everyone thinks its still my favorite movie series of all time (Cars 2 solos) as for dislikes, basic mfs. But not every basic mf tho. The mfs who goes "eww what are you wearing?" And they wearing the most basic shit you could imagine. I respect everyone's fashion sense but if you make fun of others' style you are just meh. For short, karens? I hate karens. I also love yapping fr you could also realise it i cant shut up :D also tbh i dont have any idea bout my mbti. I have done a few tests and i always got esfp or entp. So lets say i am an extrovert 🙏🙏
As for love language, physical touch, quality time. I am an clingy person lol
I AM SHORT AF LMAOO 5'1-5'2 dont remember. But i am pround to say i have a hourglass-pear body 😈🙏😋🔥 i also have dark brown wavy hair which reaches to my shoulders. My friend said that i have doe eyes. And i am really pround of my long eyelashes tho :> my eye color is also dark brown but i am cursed with thick eyebrows 😞 as for aesthetic, it changes? But i am a gyaru. I just change my gyaru style everyday (sometimes stuff like agejo or hime, sometimes goshikku and rokku. You can search them up on google if you dont know them!)
Thats all i guess. Take your time no need to rush and also take care of yourself!!!!!!! Thanks again :>
I think you'd look good with...
Shidou Ryusei!
-> Right off the bat, idk you just seem like somebody who would get along with Shidou so well. It's a feeling- But anyway, you're both very extroverted and you both seem to like Japanese rock style music! -> Would be so down to just sit around and watch really anything with you, he would comment on basically everything so be ready for that, and be ready to tell him to shut up at parts of whatever your watching. Though sometimes his commentary is actually kinda funny, but still (Also the fact that you like cars, Icon. I love it so much as well<3) -> Have you seen this man? As far away from basic as like anything. You'll never have to worry about him thinking about how what you're wearing is 'ew'. He just seems like the type of guy to absolutely love the gyaru fashion aesthetic, no matter which way you do it! -> You also work so well together because you also appreciate horror stuff and things like that, and this mans favorite animal is a velociraptor.. because they looked cute eating people. Speaks for itself there. And the fact his favorite movie is 'A Clockwork Orange' which also falls under the category of 'Psychologically disturbing' . -> Will let you talk his ear off. He doesn't particularly mind, I mean as long as you're okay with his weird comments sometimes, and him constantly wanting to fight people if you say anything bad about them -> Also a very clingy person, and will have a hand or two on you at all possible times, no matter what. He loves being near you and loves it even more when he can hold your waist or your hand when walking basically anywhere! -> Will go on dates where you guys just go around shopping and he'll go into every store he thinks that you'll like and will find things that match with your aesthetic and any sort of accessory he thinks that will match your outfits and he'll get it for you, no questions asked.
Other potential Matchups - Bachira Meguru and Karasu Tabito

Sona info :33
i uh
Basically a rundown on my LMK sona feel free to not read this is self indulgent
also please do tell me if I'm disrespecting Chinese culture in any way advice (not hate) is appreciated-
Name : Storm
Storm is a nickname like MK-
Main Colors : Dark Teal, Teal, Dark Green, Black, Some Yellow/Orange.
The green hair is dyed, all else is natural.
Both Storm and Mei are dragon-related, tho idk if they'd be related-
(Mei is related to the Dragon of the East n Storm is related to Pu Lao, the third of the nine dragon sons)
Lil fun things about Storm-
Both their and Mei's families are proud of their ancestry, though Storm's family also takes great pride in their loud roars/cries.
Their dragon, though still big, is smaller than Mei's (would reach bout to Mei's dragon's stomach(?))
Like mentioned before, Storm and their family have pretty loud screeches. It can be used to sort of disorient an opponent, but not for long.
Mei n Storm are childhood friends
Storms an introvert, who has basically only made more friends because she hung out with Mei.
The youngest of the group.(I hc MK + Mei to be in their twenties, and as the rest of the good dudes are either immortal or in their forties.)
More of a long distance fighter, or just doesn't go in the offense at all.
Storm uses smoke bombs similar to how to demon brothers do, though the smoke that comes out is a dark teal, to make it look like some poisonous gas.
If they have to fight, they prefer staying far away from the enemy and using a bow and arrow (that most certainly wasn't gifted by an auntie ha ha)
They do NOT know how to work arcade games- just ain't their thing-
Instead they do writing commissions.
That's it good byeee

ive been rereading homestuck, and, i Of Course remembered about the buckets, but i also. forgot anout the buckets? anyway, i got to the parts where vriska and terezi and kanaya get sudddenly flustered and embarrassed about john and dave and rose interacting with or just Having buckets, innocuously, on the viewports where the trolls coukd see them, and then later that evening i suddenly realized how many buckets i own (i think i have approximately 8 buckets visible rn) and that my bedroom would probably be considered OBSCENE to a troll and its like days later now but im still amused by this.
i have so many fucking buckets and i forgot that its not a normal amount of buckets to own. 8 visible, 1 is downstairs, 2 are under my big tank. (Edit i definitely have even more than that but im done counting lol.) do other ppl just not have this many buckets??? how do you live your lives
#toy txt post#homestuck#i only bought like. 6 of them#bc i constantly needed buckets for fish stuff and i just constantly needed new buckets?? and my dad keot scolding me for stealing his#after offering his for use so i got tired of it and over some years ive now acquired 6 bright orange 5gal home depot buckets#lets do this#FUXBCUSHF i just remembered actually i have a bucket with more buckets inside that i wasnt counting. 1 sec#ok i think just have 1 bucket in that bucket. possibly 2 but theres too much fish shit on top of it all that i dont feel like relocating.#but wait actually now. there might be other smaller buckets inside of other bigger buckets..idk#the point is i have a Ridiculous number of buckets in my bedroom and i forget that most regular humans do not have this many buckets#possibly not even this many buckets in their house??? the small ones are all vaguely stolen from dad. its fine#and thats just counting proper buckets tho. i know terezi maybe got embarrassed by things that werent buckets but were containers of liquid?#like kool aid man and also soup/hot tub for dave or smth. is my corner bowfront 90gal.a bucket? how bout the plant pots?#plastic jack o lantern with a handle? i just remembered i have a tiny pink toy metal bucket in my closet#anyway a friend hilariously suggested and homestuck fan kid oc thats an aquarist with a ridiculous number of buckets#that would be very funny

Monthly word count - October
TOTAL: 5 601 words. better than last month but that's not saying much. bluhh. POSTED : nothin! IN PROGRESS -Bleach: suburban ot4 (531 words, all of which was discarded and rewritten two days ago because Not Quite Right.) -Naruto: madatobiizu Cherry Wine chapter idk, five, probably? six? no clue (1 472 words, some just tweaks to existing stuff and an unfinished scene that wasn't planned but cracked me up.) -Bleach: Grimmichi+fraccion ABO (1 125 words, mostly porn.) -Naruto: tobirama breaks the timeline to get his brothers back (335 words) -Bleach: chapter idk 4 of superheroes AU grimmichi (1 517 words that i forgot i'd written haha where did it come from) -Bleach: bloodsport (grimmichi in space) (385 words) -Bleach: psychic wolves AU (236 words) Also posted : Cherry Wine chapter 4 (madara/tobirama/izuna fraternal poly ABO) This was the month of vague "i miss grimmichi but idk what fic i want tho" urges, and serious, SERIOUS "whoops was excited and then brain skipped town between this sentence and the next and now it's three hours later and i've lost all the ideas i had". but apart from that i don't have adhd. >_> -- teasers!
cherry wine ABO -- "If he corners you, he dies." He had no idea where to start untangling that one. Izuna was obsessed with beating him. Not -- not that. They were polite at court, where all violence would be swiftly punished, but should they meet again anywhere else and Tobirama offer to... Izuna would say yes with a smile, move into his arms with eager grace, and then knife him between the ribs. He would not pass up on such an occasion to neutralize one of the biggest dangers to his clan to slake a bout of lust, that was ridiculous. Hashirama grinned harder. "And if Tobirama corners him?" Tobirama delivered a swift kick to his hamstring. His brother yelped, knee hitting the table hard enough to make the tea cups bounce. ((--)) rolled her eyes, mouth still hidden behind her sleeve, as if they didn't know she was smirking at them. "Then his tastes will officially be half as appalling as your own." Hashirama spluttered. "There is nothing tasteless about my fiancés! They're princely! They're smart! They have gorgeous hair! They have enough stamina and teamwork to hold their own against me--" "Hashi-chan, we both know you don't mean 'in combat' there." Tobirama closed his eyes and turned his face away, shoulders bowed in despair. -- Bleach ABO (IT'S PORN) -- "So your sword spirits--" "Mm-hm--" "Which you have two of, for undisclosed reasons--" "No, it's because-- mrph." Legs trembling, teeth bared, Grimmjow tightens his hold on a fistful of orange hair. "Shawlong, you need to be shutting the fuck up now." Oh god. Satan. Soul King, who the fuck ever presides over impossible shit, maybe it's the King of Hell for all he knows and fuck, shit, how can Kurosaki even be paying attention to the room right now?! How can he see or hear or even smell anyone else, remember anything else exists. Grimmjow isn't the one buried face-first in anyone's crotch and he barely can. He's gonna die, he's gonna die from wet soft slick lapping tongue and tickling raking things he doesn't want to remember are teeth. Except he can't ignore it because Kurosaki is on his knees between his feet and when Grimmjow pulls on his hair his mouth starts digging into his cunt in a way Grimmjow can't word in another way than hungry. 'Can't stay here but can't leave right now but can't be tied together when we need to move either', fuck this, who cares. Kurosaki went on his knees for him, let Grimmjow hold his head so he could break his neck if he wanted, and then just -- leaned in. Grimmjow fists his other hand in Kurosaki's hair; needs both of them to hold on, not fall, knees shaking. Kurosaki slides a hand down from under the curve of his ass to the back of his knee and guides it over his shoulder and now he needs the support even more. Kurosaki growls against him; it rattles through defenseless flesh, makes his cunt and his belly quiver with a rush of helplessly wanting heat. He wants fucked, he wants fucked so bad but Kurosaki won't, he can't knot him now and his soft little tongue isn't going to work to get him -- oh, oh, fuck. One of his hands slaps against the wall and then sinks all five claws through the cement knuckle-deep. His other leg folds under him and then Kurosaki catches him, pins him there with Grimmjow's legs around his head, strong hands gripping his ass and holding up his weight and, and -- When he comes his thighs clench so hard that for a moment he's afraid that he's gonna crush Kurosaki's skull without even knowing. It doesn't manage to sour it even a little bit. -- Tobirama fucks with the timeline -- "There." He dropped his satchel beside Tobirama's knees. Three red-eyed pairs of eyes followed Tobirama's hand as he moved to pick it up. He knew the process by then and could do it without really thinking about it. "Kawarama, go place the markers," he said quietly, pushing them into his brother's reluctant hands. "Niichan--" "It's okay. Place the markers. You know you won't be hurt, don't you? They'll take you where Itama is. You'll keep an eye on him until Anija can see to him, won't you?" "Niichan, please--" "Go put that one over there. You'll be fine." "You won't," Kawarama choked out, barely breathing so as not to be overheard. Tobirama blinked sightlessly at his own hands, down on his lap with the shortcut scroll half-unrolled. "I'll be fine. Madara needs me. It's fine." "Tobi-nii, I--" "I gave you an order. Go." -- Grimmichi superheroes -- Grimmjow did not enjoy the cold little metal disk or even being shirtless with a fever; he sat on the urge to growl, though. Let the guy take his temperature and listen to his heart and lungs and wrap a cuff around his arm and all that jazz. Let him loom as Grimmjow leaned back, on orders, as Grimmjow cautiously unwrapped his healing wounds. "This is five days old?" "Mm." "Welp, you're fucked." Curtains snorted. Grimmjow's eye twitched. "--What." "Just saying..." The man leaned in, poked around the edges of the biggest wound. "Some inflammation here but it should be a lot farther along than it is... And the muscles weren't cut through when you got here or you couldn't have climbed into my son's window like a disreputable suitor, but you have barely any core strength left right now... Hmm." "Hmm what, you cryptic asshole." Karin was craning her neck to look over her dad's shoulder without turning around; she gave up on hiding that a second later though. "Wow, yeah, I've seen Shiro-nii heal holes like that in about five minutes. You don't get enough vitamins in your diet or what?" "Fuck off." He knew, alright? He knew something was wrong. He tried not to swallow too obviously, not to tense. He didn't want to look afraid when Engetsu looked like it was all a fine joke. "Bad news, it's neurotoxin!" He caught Grimmjow's arm and flopped his hand around. Grimmjow swiped at his wrist with his claws, and missed by a hair's breadth. Engetsu dropped his hand, and kept talking like he hadn't noticed. "Good news, if you were going to have your lungs shut down on you, they would have already." "... Great." Fuck. Fuck -- "Even better news, you're a hollow, so every nerve that's been chewed through will grow back--" "--Son of a bitch--" "--and most of them will even grow back properly! You might end up with a few patches where they healed too enthusiastically and you now have a new erogenous zone." He grinned. Grimmjow started looking around for something heavy to chuck at his head.

'The Art of Conveyance and Round-Trippery' Liveblog!
Sorry this is a few days late!! I moved across the country this weekend, we drove like 13 hours within 2 days and we did a lot of heavy lifting. I'm exhausted, but the boxes are slowly emptying and I've been wanting to watch this episode so gd bad, so LESGO
Over halfway through the season!!!! That's absolutely surreal
1:11 oooh they're getting their royal fitting
1:22 LMAOO WTF 😂😂 Princess Diaries vibes
1:42 ✨CONFIDENCE✨
1:52 Alfonse is a perfect name for that guy HAHA
2:05 Nathaniel, my guy, you've made some points
2:11 "do you feel your power?" POWER RANGERS, GO
2:24 no no hesitation just prolly thinkin bout how he was caught cheatin
2:39 "can you not allow yourselves luxury?" okay fr I feel that I get Nice Things Guilt(tm) too easily
2:52 dayummmm let's talk about Sticky being a hat stall between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, mans is brave as fuck under extreme pressure and loyal to the point of putting himself on the line
3:15 bro Sticky getting some recognition. Love to see it, he deserves it
3:19 "is that a coincidence? Or written in the stars?" IS DR. CURTAIN CATCHING ON THAT THEY KNEW EACH OTHER BEFORE OR LIKEEEE
3:49 WHAT WORD AROUND CAMPUS 😭😭😭 MY BOYS ARE NOT A MISTAKE HOW DARE YOU
4:09 why doess the action of Dr. Curtain putting the sash on them seem so nefarious
4:36 I dont really understand the whole pastel yellow, blue, and pink palette of the school but the boys both look pretty okay in their vest-sash getup
4:42 THE OPENINGGGGG. This shit slaps.
5:41 Kate and Constance look so fucking cute in that shot, dont ask me why but hnnggggg
5:54 sash rope 😂😭 kate, honey, that's a reach
6:09 it might feel buttery, but, my guy, it also looks buttery. It's literally the color of butter. Get yourself some crisco
6:24 I find it kinda interesting that they made up new riddles for the show, I'm almost positive that that one wasn't in the book. Correct me if I'm wrong though
7:03 "I'm not gonna apologize for knowing things" the sass. the ✨confidence✨. living for it
7:03 If they build on that it sets Sticky up really nicely for the arc in the second book where he starts to show off a little
7:15 tiny Constance who is constantly dressed in pink with cute little braids is the perfect medium for the most morbid comments 😂😂
7:55 Martina's hot in her uniform. Can't prove me wrong.
8:15 why does that make me sad 🥺 eat with your friendssss. iirc they only talked about eating at the Messenger table in the books
8:26 dipshits forgot their lunches. Seems Constance is holding the communal braincell atm
8:50 anyone have Guiness on speed dial? Reynie and Sticky have a submission for them
9:25 oh hello this was alluded to in the preview!!! Morse code is compromised, rip
10:05 so are Jackson and Jillson stuck with night guard duty all the time?? They've been outside at night a lot
10:18 ahhhhhh the little blinkie light, stopppp
10:25 MILLIGANNNNN!!!
10:25 so is this the point where he starts staying on the island with them????
10:39 so are they just like "fuck it we'll do it right before sundown" ???? Like Jackson and Jillson are still gonna be on the lookout, they aren't gonna chill just because it's not fully dark
10:50 did the kids.....just not tell them that Mr. Bloom was on the island 😂 nice oversight guys
11:05 MADGE TIME MADGE TIME
11:05 remind me to tell you guys a story about Madge, I may or may not have done something irl a few years ago that would make y'all proud 😂😂😂
11:16 idk why but it makes me so happy that they kept Madge as a peregrine falcon
11:37 Rhonda, my love, you have my heart in your hands
11:46 roll credits
12:05 THE HEAD SHAKE HAHAHAH
12:06 Awww man, I was so excited for Milligan to be on the island .-. He must have been scoping out the inlet
12:07 "they're quite regal" A. I read the subtitles as "legal" the first time and that's somehow really in character for him, and B. IS MILLIGAN GOING TO NAME HER???!? HER MAJESTY???? PLEASE I WOULD LOVE THAT SO MUCH
12:15 his grimace KILLS ME
12:17 the hard cut from Nicholas in a brown setting and brown suit to Nathaniel in a blue setting and blue suit was lowkey striking
12:36 are they looking up Morse code 😳 can you imagine if they wrote down the message and are now decoding it
12:41 omfg all that for a HAT 🙃 I feel stupid
12:51 two things: 1. Those walls are atrocious, and 2. Yeah, talk about Morse code in a louder voice Connie girl, you're just in a public hallway
13:03 I'm sorry but those orange pillar things are not the vibe
13:03 the golden gate bridge called, they want their arches back
13:10 please let Kate climb the tower before the end of season 1. please.
13:22 y'all are about to be flying something else 😎
13:33 cleansing breaths
13:47 OH HELLO MESSENGER DUTY ALREADY??
14:06 what the heck is that teal pole for 😭😭
14:12 blindfold timeeee
I'm so sorry but I'm exhausted, it's 11:30 pm on Sunday night right now, I'll finish this episode tomorrow morning after I get some sleepies
~~
Good morningggg lesgetatit
14:50 "vomit of metal" ashhdjdjd
15:16 a wild Martina appears!
15:36 and if you folks look to your left, you'll see a wild Constance being the voice of reason once again
15:57 "lose the bucket" "I'm not gonna do that" HELL YEAH KATE
16:07 I get not having the bucket on the court lolol, I thought Martina was telling Kate to lose the bucket in general. Like, yeah, good luck convincing her to so that
16:35 show!Kate is much angrier than book!Kate and I'm still deciding how I feel about that. The Kate we've known from the books is a sunshine baby with looots of repressed trauma.
17:03 ......what is that. why is that.
17:11 WAIT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE REYNIE AHEHDJDJD
17:15 HI MADGE
17:41 the grand swell in the music makes me think it's going to go comically wrong
17:51 she's majestic because she's a queen 🥺
18:03 LMAO CALLED IT
18:14 Rhonda and Number Two getting at each other is such a sisterly thing to do 😂😂😂
18:37 ohhhhh? Someone's approaching? Miss Perumal perhaps????
18:45 YEAHHHHH BABY
18:50 PROTECTIVE MOM COMIN IN HOT!!!
19:22 THEYRE SO PRECIOUS 😭😭😭😭 I feel like I've been subconsciously starved for her and Mr. Benedict's interactions
19:36 died at that line in the one trailer
20:00 so Miss Perumal pulled a Sherlock Holmes. Love that for her
20:20 Cheri Tupintown??? Of all the aliases they could pick, Cheri Tupintown???
20:33 "Power in Truth Inc" that HAS to be something Rhonda came up with
21:01 you can literally watch Mr. Benedict realize that this is a woman not to be fucked with and he is CORRECT
21:23 "he's fine. Perfectly fine." At this, Mr. Benedict's pants caught aflame.
21:52 something about Constance sitting in on practice!!! It scratches an itch!!!!
22:19 "incorporate the helix. Live in the helix." Lord Helix is pleased with this offering.
22:26 so what I'm hearing is Kate is going to blow up on Constance for messing with the bucket
23:13 unrelated but Jillson'a shoes are cute
23:29 why does this room give off Johnny Depp's willy wonka vibes
24:13 that looks like a chair from a doctor's office waiting room 😭
25:29 they do be egg heads tho
26:02 baby girl, I have no idea why you're crying at weird art but let me dry your tears 🥺🥺
26:50 SHE FOUND ITTTT
27:27 okay Indiana Jones, go off
27:46 why did that kinda sound like Miss Perumal
28:43 the return of everyone's favorite, "enjoyable"
29:05 not that I'm not loving the ice breaker questions and the one-sided conversation, but I'm not loving it
29:22 oh so we're getting right into it aren't we
29:54 his eyes being open again makes this infinitely creepier
30:36 "where's your proof?" Miss Perumal doesnt fuck around!!!
31:29 you're telling me Constance has been there all day?? And Kate went to find her???? 🥺
31:58 oh so we're getting right to it then?? Kate addressing her independence and trust issues arc????
33:29 NEWS!!!!
33:49 CONSTANCE RIDING PIGGYBACK!!!!!!
34:04 okay, so they opened the murder hole, what are they gonna do now
34:59 Italian? 🤨 m'sir that is so fancy
34:59 fun story I learned Italian diction in college, so I know a little bit
35:16 "take your time" the whisperer says, immediately repeating the prompt to get the answer sooner
35:31 theeeeere it is
35:46 SOMETHING ABOUT THE WHISPERER SAYING "YOU ARE HOME" 😭😭😭 the show really played up the cult shit!!
36:02 Kate being protective of Constance 🥺
36:20 ohhh shit is it time for Connie girl to have double Reynie? Double Sticky?
36:36 STICKY
36:52 "what kind of nonsense?" HAVE THEY NOT ASKED THAT BEFORE THIS?????
37:14 "and your tiny brain can somehow pick it up!!" KATE STOP 😂😂😂
37:16 "I knew you had to be special in some way." WE DONT HAVE TIME TO UNPACK ALL OF THAT
37:51 she's right, this is disregard for their safety. The show made Mr. Benedict and his team a lot more back-alley and dishonest, and Miss Perumal has every reason to be pissed
38:30 oh good they finally remembered he has narcolepsy
39:38 and the best mom award goes to:
40:38 I was gonna say that this hallway is how I imagined the KEEP in riddle of ages but then I remembered that (spoilers) the Institute is the KEEP
40:46 oh, hello propoganda
41:10 that's the other person Rhonda couldn't contact, along with Mr. Bloom. This has to be the brainsweeping process
41:22 yeppppp
41:44 this dark doctor's office theme gives me horror movie vibes
42:22 ohhhh, so that's how they replaced that scene where the four of them jump in a crate to hide and Sticky drops his glasses in the open
42:47 and so we've come to the part of the story where Sticky and Reynie become infinitely more conflicted
42:47 and since we've reached that point..... can we have the white knight scene? Pretty please? Please Disney I'm begging you-
43:12 so Reynie just figured that out without Constance? :/
44:03 love the manipulation
44:31 I'm sorry, the farm?
44:35 farm and forest????
45:16 "the Emergency has served its purpose" 😳 well okay then murder man
45:39 "one thought, one purpose" the hive mind rises once more
45:48 LOVE THE MANIPULATION
46:07 "what have you done to earn anyone's trust?" VALID
46:26 "please do!" WHY AM I EMOTIONAL
47:06 "we still have the falcon" that you do 😂
47:19 AYYY HERE WE GO!!! Time for Milligan to stay on the island??
47:49 ohhhh Constance, casual telepath strikes again
48:16 "stop it, Kate!" OOOOHHHHH
48:53 that line ("it would be nice to be unburdened") would be funny as shit if not for the fact that Constance is a telepath unbeknownst to herself and can both subconsciously perceive people's thoughts and hear the subliminal messages
49:20 HI MRS. PERUMAL!!!
49:25 wow, she's really going through with it 😳 not that I doubted her, but still, that's dedication
49:39 OH SHIT
50:17 oh, so he's an asshole to SQ too. Got it. Torches and pitchforks? Ready to kick his ass?
50:40 "for the moment, anyway" FUCKIN WHAT
This episode was really good!!! They covered a LOT. I hope Miss Perumal comes back to the group and talks about her findings, I hope Milligan goes to get the kids and they tell him no, and I hope they get that classic 4-person Society brainstorming and binding time that hits that sweet spot

if you take a shower and you dry off with a towel, is the towel dirty or not??? cause you just got all clean but you are still using the towel so,,,,,??? 👀👀👀👀
do you think the people in our dreams are only people weve seen before? or people we make up in our heads? cause my theory is that everyone in our dreams (like the random “filler” people if you know what i mean) is someone that youve seen at least ONCE, maybe passing by on the street, a grocery store, the mall, seeing on an advertisement, etc. and your brain stores them away to be used in your dreams later. or do you think we just make up people on our own?
how do we know the colors were seeing are the colors people are describing? like how do we know that [this] is supposed to be purple, did people just come together and decide “yeah, thats purple” cause what if someone saw [this] instead but still agreed that its purple?? 🤔🤔🤔
did you know that apparently years and years ago people thought that eating the dead would have healing/healthy benefits? i forget the details so sorry bout that but it was in one of these books i had to read for my forensic anthropology class about different things people did to dead bodies and apparently there was a group of people whod douse their dead in honey and soak and preserve them for like 100 years and then just *chomp chomp* yummy 😋
lol i hope this clusterfuck of random thoughts and questions gave you some sort of entertainment (im curious to see what your opinions on these things are tho 👀)
gonna answer this under the cut bc its gonna be a bit long maybe
if you take a shower and you dry off with a towel, is the towel dirty or not??? cause you just got all clean but you are still using the towel so,,,,,??? 👀👀👀👀
i would say dirty, because when you decide to get a new towel it’s because the old one is dirty?
do you think the people in our dreams are only people weve seen before? or people we make up in our heads? cause my theory is that everyone in our dreams (like the random “filler” people if you know what i mean) is someone that youve seen at least ONCE, maybe passing by on the street, a grocery store, the mall, seeing on an advertisement, etc. and your brain stores them away to be used in your dreams later. or do you think we just make up people on our own?
i remember reading smth about this and i’m pretty sure our brain is somewhat incapable to dreaming up their own people? cant remmeber if science backed this up or not lol but yeah everyone you see in your dream is someone you’ve seen before. although, there is an exception with the “have you seen this man” guy (i personally get a lil creeped out by the picture they have of him). if you don’t already know, it’s this face that many people all over the world have seen in their dreams, but no one knows who he is and their’s a sketch/generated picture of the face and a whole website for the guy but no one in the entire world knows who he is? also, i just did a google bc i just remembered reading smth recently about him and nvm its a hoax AHHAHAHAHA but yeah that’s always creeped me out.
how do we know the colors were seeing are the colors people are describing? like how do we know that [this] is supposed to be purple, did people just come together and decide “yeah, thats purple” cause what if someone saw [this] instead but still agreed that its purple?? 🤔🤔🤔
OHHHHH I LOVE THINKING ABOUT THIS SO MUCHHHHHH and then you consider the fact that lobsters or shrimp or smth see more colours than we do and its so cool!!! like !!!!! there is so much out there that we don’t know or see or hear because humans just arent able to process the stuff and thats so funky cool! but the reason we all unanimously agree a colour is a colour despite everyone viewing it differently is becasue we just.. like... thats what we’ve been told and that’s how we see it? every inidivdual understands “purple” to be one thing, so if i told you that this cup is purple, you would also see purple even if the purple you see if not the purple i see; you’ve jsut always associated that colour with the word “purple” and i could tell you that if you mixed blue and red together you’ll get purple and you would agree because your understanding of colours is consistent within your own little brain and my understanding is consistent in my own little brain and so we just match up the parts that are similar (the word) and it makes sense to our own inidivudla selves? as kids we’re told that the colour we percieve is called X, and soo i guess it’s passed down what we call certain colours.
Hypothetically, then, if eveyrone in this generation and the next few generations told their kids that what we perceieve as purple was orange, eventually would what we know to be purple be called orange in the future?
idk if any of the above makes sense HAHA
Fun fact newborns see in black and white?? how funky is that?
did you know that apparently years and years ago people thought that eating the dead would have healing/healthy benefits? i forget the details so sorry bout that but it was in one of these books i had to read for my forensic anthropology class about different things people did to dead bodies and apparently there was a group of people whod douse their dead in honey and soak and preserve them for like 100 years and then just *chomp chomp* yummy 😋
OMG YOU DO FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGYYYYY tbh idk what that actually means but i kinda understand the words separately and they both interest me so i’m assuming a cool word/study + a cool word/study = a super cool word/study.
thats pretty interesting?? honeys a really good preservative so !!! but damn 100 years,,, but yeah i’ve heard of that happening in a few cultures!!
lol i hope this clusterfuck of random thoughts and questions gave you some sort of entertainment (im curious to see what your opinions on these things are tho 👀)
hehe ty this was very fun to read through and answer/share my thoughts etc!! i love having these type of convos where we (me and whoever im voncersing w) can just go batshit crazy and hypothesise and think about stuff!!! tyvm for sending this innnnnnnnn <3 mwah

OKAY CAN SOMEONE TELL WHO THIS WEIRD RADOI LADY IS AND WHY SHE KEEPS SHOWING UP AT THE END OF THE EPISODE
Episode 3:
(That one part in the intro) Step-yellow sillouette, what you doing😳
For real tho Hanako looks pretty scared during that part of the intro why are they biting his ear(maybe Hanako was a victim of s3xu@l assault?)
Wait isn't Hanako the 7th of the 7 Wonders

Okay but for real WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE YELLOW SILHOUETTE AND HANAKO IN THE INTRO?!?!?!
Wait I just noticed that in the part with the yellow silhouette, Hanako is tied up with rope😳
Okay here's my theory:
When Hanako was alive, he was a student at the school. He was s3xu@lly a$$aulted in the bathroom, and muđəred his attacker out of anger/mental instability, therefore cursing him to the bathroom he was assaulted in. He became a ghost to make up for his sins.
Idk I could be totally off-base

Idk maybe I'm just too obsessed with that theory
I see Hanako differently after the Library too, but in a different way.
What why the donuts?
He's totally lying. I bet he's gonna make some for Hanako🥺
Okay but Kou is actually pretty sweet
I mean, if he DID murder someone who bullied him, they had it coming for touching my precious Hanako😤

WAIT SO THERE'S THE ONES CHANGING THE RUMORS?
OKAY WHO IS THIS BITCH

WAIT SO SAKURA IS THE ONE DOING THE RADIO THING?!?!?!
WAIT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

I have a feeling that that is probably jsut a random student😅

KOU IS NOT A M0ŁƏ$TER
Wait that was the whole episode?
Episode 8:
Okay the person @ssaulting(maybe even $exua||y @$$aulting idk I think I'm just obsessed with that theory) in the intro is definitely his brother
Mitsuba is kinda weird and annoying, but also funny at the same time
Excuse me Traffic safety is no joke😐

catch me, won’t you?
Part 6 of Know-It-All a.k.a the modern AU snippet series that no one asked for. To find other parts of the series, follow the know-it-all tag.
shijimeikme#1231 — direct message with nenehime#1113
nenehime AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
shijimeikme what is it I’m studying
nenehime are you really studying??? (¯―¯٥)
shijimeikme fair
shijimeikme what is it
nenehime I’m coming over
shijimeikme okay??? but the screaming ( ¬_¬)
nenehime i messed up
shijimeikme bad enough that you gotta scream???
shijimeikme did you text aoi???
nenehime no not yet she’ll do the thing
shijimeikme the protective best friend thing where she defers to murder first?
nenehime it’s almost scary that you know that
shijimeikme been hanging out with u guys long enough
shijimeikme alright ima clean up, tell me what happened
Nene was hard pressed to stay where she was while waiting for Amane to wake up. The sides of her phone case pressing uncomfortably into her palms as she gripped it tight enough that she could hear the plastic cracking. A slight fumble to keep from breaking it resulting in her phone smacking against her face and only Amane’s soft huff reminding her not to groan in pain. The throbbing on her forehead reminding her of the contrast, his lips soft as they brushed against her skin, leaving a kiss that was quickly drowned out as he sang the last line.
Looking her in the eye.
Just like —
She wanted to scream or kick out her legs or do something. Staring out the window as the evening sunlight slanted through, lightening the dark blue curtains and running over the carpet to the edge of Amane’s bed. His arm loosened its grip around her waist and Nene could move a bit easier but she stayed where she was. As much as she wanted to rant and rage, she found herself just laying there. Looking around the room and memorizing every inch of it.
His telescope in the corner.
A number of books on his shelf, rearranged in sequence, with a soccer ball propped up beside them. The dust collecting on the trophy hidden behind it. Posters of his heroes on dark blue walls, a mosaic painting of the Apollo 11 moon landing, the light catching and making the moon shine. The glare catching on the dark screen of his television, a shelf beneath it with books and games organized on either side, his system tucked away in the cabinet.
How many hours did she spend here playing games with him when they should be studying?
His slight grin when she won and rubbed it in his face only to start up another game while she wasn’t looking.
Would that all change because she knew now?
Looking down at him, her breath hitched when he started to shift and his eyes slowly opened. His cheek brushing against her chest as he raised his head, resting his chin against her chest and staring up at her with sleep-glazed sunset eyes.
“Yashiro,” he called, voice husky with sleep. “What time is it?”
Nene’s eyes widened and she fumbled for her phone, pressing the home button to see the time and another message from Mei.
“About five,” she said, shifting from beneath him as carefully as she could as he rolled to the side. “I should start heading home.”
She chose to wisely ignore the way that his voice made the back of her neck warm or twist her stomach in knots when he looked her way. His eyes were oranger than gold, or was it golder than orange? If she got a better look. Zipping her bag shut with more force than necessary, she downed the thought before it could grow any further. There was no way she could do that. Being that close to him —
Standing up abruptly, her knees almost buckled but she forced herself upright, picking up her phone from where it laid beside him. Amane lying on his side and peering up at her with a soft grumble, his fingers curled in the sheets.
Why.
She pressed her phone to her chest, holding it tightly, trying to slow the racing of her heart. He looked so vulnerable, small as he curled up in a ball, his eyes squinting to avoid being blinded by the light. Wide eyes that looked up at her with trust and fondness, faint dark circles beneath them showing he could use a bit more sleep, and his smile. It wasn’t teasing or cat-like but wide and warm, crinkling his eyes at the corners and stealing her breath away.
Oh no, she couldn’t do this.
“See you tomorrow, Amane,” she blurted out, gripping the strap of her bag and hurrying downstairs.
Tsuchigomori raised his hands as she flew past him, peering at her curiously. “Where’s the fire..?”
“I just have to head home, parents… y’know.”
Lying to him was so difficult. Not only because he was a teacher but he always seemed to just know. His hum was judgmental and she could feel his gaze on her back, analyzing her with a scrutiny that might have made her crack if she looked back at him. Tugging her shoes on, she stood and bowed deeply.
“Bye!”
Throwing open the doors, she looked down at her phone, squinting against the glare from the light.
shijimeikme#1231 — direct message with nenehime#1113
nenehime I came over to amane’s to hangout and he was so tired so I tried to cheer him up then we were singing and it was all nice and he kissed my forehead and said he loved me
shijimeikme …. Just like that
nenehime well… yes… and no…and kinda??? It was part of the song
shijimeikme but he kissed you
nenehime my forehead
shijimeikme which is a part of you
nenehime hnnnnnn I knooooooow meeeeeeei
shijimeikme are you still there???
nenehime no I’m leaving
shijimeikme did you talk to him before you left
nenehime does saying see you tomorrow count
shijimeikme baby no
shijimeikme hurry up and get over here
nenehime AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
shijimeikme see now the screaming makes sense
Throwing her phone into her bag, she hurried off as quickly as her legs could carry her. Amane’s voice repeating like a song she couldn’t get out of her head.

hanako GOOD NIGHT KOU
koulest oH FINALLY
Amane’s phone screen went dark, reflecting his own flustered face, and he grimaced at the sight. Dropping his phone to his chest and burying his fingers in his hair as he squinted at the ceiling. It’d long since gotten dark and Tsuchigomori ordered takeout, Yako coming over, and their usual bickering distracted him from his thoughts. Insisting that he’d be heading off to bed when he was only paying partial attention to one of their arguments that he’d been drawn into. Weighty sharp gazes following him and their voices were hushed as he disappeared from sight, no doubt trying to glean the meaning for his behavior.
How was he supposed to tell them that he might have scared off the girl that he liked because she was trying to make him feel better? Hell, how was he supposed to justify it to himself. The heels of his hands pressed against his eyelids, making the stars on his ceiling blurry and his eyes water. Deep down, he almost wanted to cry.
It took him a full six minutes to register Nene’s hasty goodbye and another two to hurry after her with the insistence of walking her home. She didn’t hear him, tapping away at her phone, her shoulders hunched and steps brisk — reminding him of that day. A muffled curse behind his hand as the memory came to mind.
The day was perfect. Like a scene out of her favorite movie, and her eyes were so warm and trusting. She believed every word that came out of his mouth. And that was it. He meant it, meant that he liked her, perhaps not love but he did like her and —
He hurt her.
Ruby eyes glistening with unshed tears, the ones that managed to slip free in silver streaks down her cheeks were quickly wiped away as she jerked away from him. The dull ache in his head from her headbutt was nothing compared to the sharp pain in his chest. Seeing her walking away from him, rubbing her eyes from tears he caused, all because his intentions were good but his method wasn’t.
What more could he do but apologize to her?
Could he really expect her to believe him when he lied before?
His phone slid off his chest as he shifted onto his side, pressing his cheek against his pillow, the smell of earth and something sweet filling his nose.
Nene.
It could only be her. And he mentally kicked himself, burying his face against the pillow and clutching it tightly.

nenehime … oh
kannoaoi oh (✿◠‿◠)
Flower emojis were supposed to be cute but somehow Aoi could make them both that and absolutely threatening. Locking her phone screen, Nene stared at her own reddened faced worried her bottom lip between her teeth. Black Canyon rolled across her pillow, colliding with her cheek and she closed her eyes with a sigh. Letting her phone fall to the side, her hands cupping around the mischievous hamster as she sat up and tucked her knees in close.
The contents of her bag spilled out over the shag carpet, her books face down and obscuring the heart shaped design from view. Her gaze drifting to the ceiling then her curtains, the stuffed animals and movie posters barely discernible in the low lighting. Her teal hair falling in her face as she rested her head against her knees, nuzzling against Black Canyon’s fur. Honey and brown sugar from the shampoo that she used bathe him still fresh. Pressing a kiss to his head, she set him on the floor and let him run around, pushing the ball that he’d come to claim as his own.
Black and white, checkered just like the one in Amane’s room, bumping against her dresser and the walls. Sitting back with her head against the wall, she almost wished for the glow in the dark stars on her ceiling. Checking to make sure that Black Canyon wasn’t nearby as she toed off her bed, bending down to pick up the objects from her bag. Her books heavy in her hands, thumbs running over the embossed titles.
What was she going to do come tomorrow?
It wasn’t as if she could just hide in her room or avoid him. No one was at fault but the knots twisting in her stomach and the fear of having dashed hopes meant something. Pressing her lips to the spine of her book, she tried to remember the warmth of his hand and the gentle press of his lips against her forehead. That wide smile, soft and all for her.
I just wanted them to stop making fun of you.
Was it really that bad?
If he liked her and she liked him, did anyone else really matter?
And even then — why would anyone tease for her liking him when he was so…
Draping her bag on her chair, she tip toed over to the window and pulled the soft cherry pink curtains, opening her window slightly to let the cool air come in. Her arms crossed on the window sill and chin resting atop of them as she looked out at the cityscape. Thousands of lights wavering in the distance, dancing as her eyelids fell and she sighed. The moon wasn’t out tonight and she wondered if he was dismayed by it.
He kept track of the moon phases on his calendars so she doubted he didn’t know but she wanted to check anyway.
Though with the way she left, would it be alright to text him?
Was he offended because they didn’t talk?
Or should she just do it anyway?
They were still friends.
Black Canyon’s soft squeaks made her smile and she rested her cheek against her arms, watching him as he bumped the ball against the wall, trying to get it to change directions. Scurrying after it with all of the speed that his tiny legs could afford him.
Sometimes, she thought it must have been a lot easier to be an animal.
Like a hamster or a fish.
Lingering by the window for a moment longer, she sighed and drifted back to her bed, picking up her phone. The light shining in her eyes were momentarily blinding and scrolling through the recent messages, she found the thread with Amane and her finger hovered over it.
Yashiro, I love you! Please go out with me.
I love you.
hanako#0724 — direct message with nenehime#1113
nenehime no stargazing tonight I guess
nenehime amane
nenehime about earlier can we talk?
nenehime …please
Nene had never been one for flippant use of prayer. In fact, she tried not to pray for things that were selfish if she could help it. But right now, she really needed this. Even if it went wrong and something happened that couldn’t be taken back — it was better than this.
A gentle chime and a notification popped up on her screen. She pressed her phone to her forehead with a ragged sigh, sagging down to the floor. Black Canyon’s ball tapping her side as the hamster squeaked at her.

oh! can I still send you a title? at your leisure of course, but maybe Orange Juice and Butterfly Pins. idk I just was thinking bout butterflies and drank some juice but I think it could be kinda sweet or kinda creepy which is basically right up your alley, yeah?
Kinda sweet or kinda creepy is the exact vibe I wanna throw, bless ❤️This one definitely came out on the sweet side tho lmao.
So Peter comes back from the dead and basically immediately fucks off. Not totally- he’s still there when Derek demands it in a crisis. But usually he’s just not around.
Stiles is suspicious.
Sure, he says he’s better now, but what if he’s lying? What if he wants them off his back so he can plan? It’s what Stiles would do, after all.
So Stiles takes the next natural step and breaks into his apartment (okay, maybe that’s only the next natural step in Stiles’ mind). He expects to find Something™. Something incriminating. Something that will give him a clue as to why Peter is pretending to be so calm now.
What he finds is... furniture. Some fruit. A set of really nice kitchen knives. A shit load of paperback historical romance novels. Stiles is pretty underwhelmed. But then! He sees it: a pile of tiny pins, and a sinister tupperware container filled with dead butterflies and a wet paper towel.
...Okay it’s still more weird than indicative of evil, but Stiles is kind of grasping at straws here. After all, he went to the trouble of surveilling Peter’s schedule and then disarming his security system-
“Find anything interesting?”
Stiles just about jumps out of his skin and spins around in time to see Peter close the front door.
��Uh-”
“Relax, I’m not going to eat you. Not yet anyway.” He flashes a grin at Stiles, and Stiles narrows his eyes at him.
“I don’t trust you,” he says, making it sound like a threat.
“Probably wise,” Peter continues, tossing his keys and wallet into a bowl next to the door, “considering I’ve shown a history of murder. But then, I did respect your no, didn’t I?”
He brings it up so casually, as if Stiles hasn’t replayed that moment over and over again since it happened, unable to explain to himself why Peter let him go. He wants to know, but refuses to ask, because it frustrates him that the reasoning of a mad man should matter to him at all.
Instead, he points at the pile of pins.
“What are these for, huh? Voo-doo dolls? Is that what you’re doing? Sticking us with voo-doo pins?”
Peter gestures to the container of butterflies.
“They’re for those.”
“Yeah, about that. What the hell, man?”
Peter just chuckles.
“It’s a hobby I had before. I’m a little rusty, and I had to buy all new supplies, but I’m getting back into it.”
“You go around murdering butterflies for your hobby?” Stiles demands to know, the accusation weak even to his own ears. Peter raises an eyebrow.
“I spend a lot of time in the preserve, Stiles. Butterflies live and die there like any other insect. When I’m running, sometimes I see a fallen one, and it’s too beautiful to leave to rot on the ground. I bring them home to pin them instead, so that I can continue to enjoy the art of their wings. They’re already dead by the time I find them, Stiles.”
Stiles still eyes him suspiciously. Peter sighs.
“Look, I don’t actually care whether or not I have your trust, but if it’ll keep you from breaking into my apartment and calling me away from my errands, then by all means drop by whenever you’d like. You clearly know my schedule, so can do your best to catch me unaware. You’re definitely not going to discover me doing anything sinister when I’m not even home, though.”
So Stiles does that.
For months, he does it. Dropping in at the most surprising of times, trying to catch Peter out. Instead, he finds Peter cooking, or vacuuming, or, very often, pinning butterflies.
Slowly, dropping in on Peter becomes less about trying to discover his evil plans, and more about having a place to rest between threats to his life. It’s not that Peter’s place is void of the supernatural; he has a magic alarm system (how Stiles got caught the first day) and he casually allows his wolfier characteristics to show when he’s comfortable at home.
No, it’s more that Peter’s apartment is free of expectations. No one is chasing after him there. No one is demanding that he research how to handle the monster of the week. No one shoves him into walls. The most important question Peter’s ever asked him here is whether he thought a fourth bookcase would look nice against the north wall.
Eventually, Stiles doesn’t want to leave. He doesn’t want to go back to the pack that he’s beginning to suspect will eventually get him killed.
“Why don’t you try harder to be included?” Stiles asks while Peter carefully arranges a monarch beneath sheer wax paper. “Why did you decide to just...” He lets the sentence drift off, unsure of how to phrase what he really wants to know.
Peter pauses his work to give Stiles his full attention, something that makes Stiles want to squirm for too many reasons.
“Derek is never going to fully accept me again,” he says bluntly. “I can prostrate myself at his feet, let myself become the pack punching bag, terminate every threat that comes into Beacon Hills; none of it will be enough to overcome Laura’s murder. And what would the benefit be even if I could? Pack politics? Engaging in even more violence? Despite how I behaved after waking from a six year coma to find the killers of my family still running free to kill more, I don’t actually relish in pain, Stiles. Neither do you, I think.”
Stiles has to look away at that.
Peter continues, in a quieter voice, “I have no qualms about directly disposing a threat, but you might be surprised how few threats there are when your main focus is just... finding the beauty in life and preserving it.”
Stiles’ throat is tight now, and he’s sniffling a little.
“Must be getting a cold,” he mumbles, fully aware that Peter will hear the lie.
“I have some orange juice in the fridge,” Peter responds lightly, going back to his butterfly. “A good dose of vitamin C can make the duration of a cold shorter.”
And maybe it’s that that finally decides Stiles. Peter has once again respected his no, and allowed the lie to pass. Stiles stops spending time with the pack, stops putting his life on the line to help those who wouldn’t and haven’t returned the favor.
Instead, he goes to Peter’s apartment and enjoys the beautiful things there.
#the basis of this is that one tweet that says something like#'someday you too will get bored of public vulnerability and become interested solely in making your apartment nicer'#ask#ask game#this blog needs a tag for my bullshit#bookwormcheerleader

january reading
why was this january at least 3 months long
unequal affections, lara s. ormiston (audio) this is jane austen fanfiction about an alternate version of the story where lizzy does accept darcy’s first proposal - their ensuing engagement, which (because lizzy doesn’t go off about how she feels about darc in this one) is full of unspoken conflicts and tensions & hella awks. the initial premise needed some suspension of disbelief but once i got over that i found it super enjoyable, pretty believable in terms of character interactions and interiority (darcy is a dick), funny & sweet. i don’t think i will necessarily start getting into JAFF now (tho goodreads rly thinks i should), but this was just. nice. wholesome. also now i want to reread p&p..... 3/5
lincoln in the bardo, george saunders (uni) ya know what i really liked this. this is about abraham lincoln mourning his young son willie during the civil war, not exactly a topic i’m particularly (at all) interested in, but the execution is so cool - it’s told partly thru fragments from historical records, books, letters (both real and imagined) and partly thru the voices of the many ghosts stuck in a kind of limbo in the graveyard, who are trying to get willie to move on, while they themselves desperately try to stay in limbo, bitter about what went wrong in their lives and in denial about their state. & it’s done really well, the polyphony and contradiction of the historical record (one chapter has a bunch of quotes about how ugly lincoln was & then the last is like ‘idk i thought he was kinda handsome’), and the ghosts are so sad & bitter & desperate & hopeful. 4/5
the steppe & other stories, anton chekhov (tr. from russian) bunch of short stories from 1880-1890s russia. to be honest, i found most of them pretty boring, although ‘the duel’ is pretty good, an interesting look at how sticking too closely to your worldview/ideology/morality will probably either make you a useless disaster person or a eugenicist douchebag. some of the other stories were okay as well, but overall: 2/5, i’mma stick with his plays
perfectly preventable deaths, deirdre sullivan teenage ocd witch book! this is a pretty good YA witchy horror book about twins who move into their new stepdad’s castle (yeah he has a castle) in a weird irish village where girls have been going missing for decades. creepy magical-ish things start happening (of course) & our narrator isn’t sure whether her sister’s new age-inappropriate boyfriend is just creepy, or creepy. i love the concept of ocd witchery & the atmosphere is really good as well, but the pacing is off, with slow build-up & a climax that happens way too quickly. also like can someone please say the word ocd it’s not gonna kill ya. 3/5
the priory of the orange tree, samantha shannon gonna be controversial here & say... yeah this should have been a duology. give the world some room to breathe, give the characters some room to breathe (give me another book w/ a cover this spectacular). anyway, this is a bigass book about eastern vs western dragon lore, a holy queendom (go sabran of inys!!), dragonriders, lesbian sword mages, how religion & historiography marginalises women, and magical trees. & like, okay, i wrote a lil thing right after finishing it about how i had some quibbles with it but enjoyed it overall but you know what? the more i think about it/let it sit the more complaints i have and the more annoyed/disappointed i get. 1) i liked all the characters fine, but none of them feel like they have any depth - i feel like i could sum all of the main characters up in like 3-4 words, and while i was rooting for ead/sabran, even this, the most central relationship of the book felt... surface-level. like, there were some big emotional moments but generally all i felt was like ‘good for her’ or ‘that sucks i guess’, 2) this world & its mythology is very much inspired by eastern vs western dragonlore so i understand the need to ground the fantasy world with real-world parallels but the extent to which some of the countries are literally just fantasy versions of real countries was... frustrating? irritating?? this is especially grating as, while inys is very clearly fantasy!britain, there is a lot of cool world-building (religion, aristocracy, history/myth) to make it more than that, while fantasy!japan and fantasy!china are literally just ... ‘what if japan but with dragons’. i did like fantasy!netherlands because at least you don’t see that a lot. 3) so much of the plot is just people travelling to different locations to get and transport different items but most of the travelling is cut short by some magical animal/being turning up and just transporting them in a cutscene.. 4) considering that this is all about dragonlore the dragons sure aren’t as important in the end as the three macguffins of power. 5) i loved so much about kalyba but not where it led, that said i want a kalyba-hawthorn-nurtha backstory. okay that’s it for now but like. idk. this had a lot of potential but the execution was just severely flawed. 2/5
trust exercise, susan choi this was super hyped, especially for a game-changing twist of some kind, but has a rather low rating on goodreads (3.18!) so y’all know i was intrigued. i’m not going to give away the twist because it is genuinely really cool if not really all that original, but this is a really clever & cool book about theatre kids, teenage dramatics, constructing your own narrative and what that excludes, elides, changes, and most of all consent & abuse (some very triggering depictions of sex/sexual abuse here). i really liked this, and am considering buying a copy so i can reread it. 4/5
soldiers of salamis, javier cercas (tr. from spanish by anne mclean) very meta novel about a writer called javier cercas writing a book (tentatively called soldiers of salamis) about a (real) falangist poet who escaped a mass execution & survived in the forest for a while with a group of republican deserters. ‘cercas’ researches, speculates, despairs, talks to roberto bolano (who compliments his previous books lol), and finally tracks down the man who he believes/imagines/hopes to be the soldier who let said fascist poet go, leading him to consider who really should be remembered & written about. made me think about that one poem about reading ezra pount that ends w/ a veteran saying ‘if i knew a fascist was a great poet, i’d shoot him anyway.’ interesting book altho i far prefer his book anatomy of a moment, one of the weirdest & most fascinating nonfic books i’ve read. 3/5
the stopping places, damian le bas (audio) damian le bas comes from a settled british romani family and, feeling somewhat unsure about his place in & connection to the community, he decided to go on a roadtrip through britain (+france) in a van to seek out the atchin tans or stopping places, starting with the ones his great-grandmother remembers from her childhood before the family became settled. he combines the travelogue with insights into romani culture(s) (mainly british) and history, as well as his own family history. it’s really interesting & engaging (the history&culture more so than the travelogue) and le bas narrates the audiobook himself & sounds like a cool dude. 3.5/5
confessions of a bookseller, shaun bythell bythell records a year of working as a second-hand bookseller, with an entry for every day. he talks about the impact of amazon, rude & weird customers (but also nice customers), his weird staff, and some of the books he’s reading. the look into bookselling in the age of amazon is pretty interesting but much of this is banal & repetitive, & if it wasn’t the perfect thing to read in little bits while at work i probably would have dnf’d it. 2/5
giacomo joyce, james..... joyce super short story by my man jamesy joyce that never made it out of manuscript (literal). not much to say about this - it’s interesting to see jj play around with themes while still working on portrait & thinking bout ulysses & the prose is nice, but the whole english tutor feels attracted to his student is a bit... eh. 3/5

mh questionnaire by @cryptoriascollectiblog !!!
I'm on mobile so I can't do a read more sorry
1) Introduce yourself and tell us how long you’ve been collecting Monster High dolls!
call me blue! i got my first doll (gooliope jellington) in late december 2015, but i began really collecting in earnest starting in 2016, so call it about 3 years
2) How many MH dolls do you have?
very definitely over 200 probably at this point..... most of them are on display, but a few thrifted and boxed dolls are hidden away
3) Is Monster High your favorite doll line? Why or why not?
that.... is really hard to answer. it’s definitely the doll line i enioy collecting the most, and i can pretty much say ‘yes, it IS my favorite!’ but there’s that little voice at the back of my head that’s saying ‘but you owe your love of dolls to barbie...’
4) Who’s your favorite MH ghoul?
ohhhh man i love howleen. i love her so much she’s so wonderful.
5) Favorite Manster?
mm..... hoodude? heath? or.... honestly i do have a huge soft spot in my heart for jackson (even tho he is. a lot. and many of the people i’ve seen who are fans of his are. even more. not everybody tho!!! just. a sad majority....)
6) Do you own any dolls of your favorite ghoul and/or manster? How many?
i own a version of every howleen doll (inlcuding the reboot doll), and it was definitely one of the proudest moments in my collecting, finally having one of each. i have also thrifted at least 3 i think? and i have 2+ repaints of her. i have one heath doll (he was my second/third doll), one jackson that was thrifted, and no hoodude since he was an sdcc exclusive :( but i don’t think hes a great looking doll anyway, like i wasnt expecting hard plastic obviously but i was hoping for more than just a stuffed doll ya feel?
7) Do you own any playsets? If so which one(s)? If not, is there a reason?
i own the school playset (my niece gave it to me when she didnt want it anymore), the catacombs playset (still in box bc i dont have room for it lol), the 13 wishes dj set i guess its called?? and 2 of the fdc playsets. also draculaura’s car and bed, both cleo and frankie’s vanities, and the cam design lab, but idk if any of those count lol
8) Of the original main ghouls (including Ghoulia, Spectra and Abbey) which is your favorite? Got any dolls of them?
ouch, okay, just make me choose then.... uhhhh i cant really rank them? i guess i would put frankie at the top but shes more default for me than anything else honestly. i dont really care for spectra tho so shes at the bottom whoopsie. also if operetta is also included (which it doesnt say she is but.) then i dont really care for her either tbqh anyway, yea i got several dolls of each lol
9) Favorite character with only one doll release?
off the top of my head im thinkin neighthan, but honestly all of the fusions are good and also all single release doll charas are good. OH i really like cupid too tho and also finnegan
10) Character with too many dolls (in your opinion?)
spectra. idk i just!!! really dont like her i mean she has nice dolls but i can not make myself care about her.
11) Any character you would’ve liked to see in a doll line that didn’t make it? (i.e. Lagoona in Sweet Screams or Draculaura in Power Ghouls, etc)
ok. i HATE gil. but i think his design was super good in gsr and i would have loved to see him as a doll.
12) Any ideas you would’ve liked to see in a doll line?
oh worm ive been thinkin on this for YEARS actually, but get this: “Boogie Fever” - a disco inspired doll line. obv has twyla in it. also what if a line where they were in famous movies - frankie and gooliope in ghostbusters, and then other classics like casablanca and breakfast at tiffanys (i actually hate that movie tbqh but it is a classic) etc
13) Is there a “grail” MH doll for you? If so do you own it?
mmmmmm pretty much all of the sdcc dolls, but i would love to have the home ick heath some day, since that’s the closest to a sig doll they have for him. i dont have him, but i do have one sdcc exclusive doll (the ghostbusters frankie)
14) Thoughts on the cancelled Ever After High crossover?
neutral. once upon a time i was excited about it, but honestly i could care less now. part of the problem is that i would want the crossover to go a very specifici way, and part of it is that the eah fans are rabid.
15) Thoughts on the 2016 reboot faces?
i mean. they are cute! super cute! but. they really arent the monster high i fell in love with, you know?
16) Thoughts on the 2016 “Monster Family” line?
weak. bad. the dolls are cute enough but the line is NOTHING. they didnt even make alivia look like her movie counterpart so like, what was the point.
17) How bout the SDCC exclusives? What was your favorite? Do you own any?
mmm i LOVE all of the sdcc exclusives but i think the deadfast ghoulia, valentine and whisp, and hexacaiah and robecca are all super good.
18) How about Amazon exclusives?
ADULT DRACULAURA!!!! god i love her so much she really is so fucking gorgeous and i regret every day that i didnt buy her for like $50 when i got the chance. i do have like 2 of the skelita amazon exclusives tho
19) Favorite Frankie Stein doll?
im gonna assume for all of these favorite doll questions that the sig look is out for the count bc i love the sigs so much lol. aaaanyway, her classroom look is SUPER cute. also sweet screams
20) Favorite Draculaura doll?
sweet screams, original dead tired (her pigtails!!! so cute!!!), forbitten love/school’s out, roadster playset, i heart shoes, die-ner, art class (any time she has yellow automatically makes it a good doll), sweet screams, draculocker, monster exchange, maul monsteristas, amazon collector, gsr..... she really has so many amazing dolls

36) Is Monster High the only doll line you collect? Why or why not?
no, but it was the line that got me into collecting in the first place! i collect barbies, eah, dcshg, lalaloopsy, and so many more. basically, if i see a doll i like, i get it (if i have the funds to obviously). honestly i buy/collect anything i like ya know?
37) Do you still collect Monster High dolls? (i.e. scour the internet and/or secondhand stores?)

38) There’s a lot of new Monster doll/toy lines out now: thoughts if any?
no real thoughts, because i cant think of any monster doll lines out rn? i mean, im sure there are some, i just cant think of them right now
39) And finally, what’s your favorite thing about Monster High? Can be past or present!
uhhhhh everywhere??? threir character designs, lore, the fact that in original preboot canon normies and monsters actually know about each other, the lore, the messages it put out about embracing your freaky flaws and all that. monster high is/was just. such a completely amazing and wonderful series.

i went to many schools before graduating but-
from kindergarten-4th grade, there was no free/reduced lunch, breakfast, after school meal. but we had a 'snack' (an orange/apple/grapes) almost every friday. or at least twice a month. when i was in kindergarten, i had lunch occasionally if a student shared.
fast forward to 5th-6th grade, i went to a different school. lunch cost more there, so i didn't eat (and by that point, the money wasn't coming in too much at home).
7th grade- that was one of the few schools in my town that did free food. (2014-2015 year) so i got to have lunch almost everyday if i felt like it.
8th grade (new school again)- that school was a 6th-8th grade school, so the lunch room was always full. so i never ate lunch. but sometimes if i walked to school early enough, i could get breakfast. even then, it was full of stuff i'm allergic to, but better than no food i suppose.
9th grade- there was free breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack. but yknow, i was in multiple sports/clubs, so i was always busy during lunch and after school. breakfast tho, not too bad. but once again, only had stuff i was allergic to.
in 10th grade i moved across the country and only did public school for a few months but- the cost was even more AND it included tax. so say it was a 5$ meal, you'd have to give like 9$ to get lunch. not fun.
now i'm in uni/college, my class is 1pm-9pm, so i don't know if lunch is available to buy/get from the main building. but yeah sure i'm an adult now and can get food for lunch, but it's been ingrained in me that you have to pay so much for 5-6 bites of food.
idk but k-12 here in the states is fucked when it comes to food. i mean, Alaska (or at least the Anchorage School District) is getting better about it, but here in the lower 48? not so much :/
and sorry bout the long post ;_;
