currently living for it being kind of obvious whenever blamore is annoyed and/or angry with someone because his tail will just... flick out to the side aggressively, or swipe from side-to-side while it's hanging kind of low like a cat's whenever they're getting angry

vague DP x Noragami crossover time~

Hiyori is terrified of Danny; something about him rubs her so so wrong. She tries her best to be nice, but she is the equivalent of a shivering chihuahua puppy in his midst. Danny feels kinda bad about that, but he can't really turn it off without turning human so he tries to stay as calm as possible around her.

Yukine, on the other hand, loves him. He thinks Danny's so cool and keeps bugging him about stuff from America and trying to show off how much he knows about the culture (a very impressive amount actually), and goes nuts seeing all the things Danny can do with his ghost powers. Danny feels the same about Yukine, gushing about his Shinki abilities and urging him into telling stories about his adventures and Japanese culture. These two become good friends.

Yato is kind of indifferent, and then the tiniest bit jealous once Yukine starts looking up to Danny. After getting to know him a little more, Danny has a hard time believing someone like Yato is a real "god".

It doesn't take long for Yukine to start looking up to Danny, just seeing how easily Danny can take care of Ayakashi (named "Phantoms" in the anime, heh) impressed Yukine enough to ask for advice. Thus, Yato's "oh hey potentially a customer!" doesn't last more than a day or two.

Danny does accidentally hang out with Hiyori in human form, and she does not recognize him in the slightest. She also isn't afraid of him at all in human form.

Important note: Danny, to this trio, only know him as "Phantom"

Side idea: I,,, am gonna be honest, I dunno how the naming system would work realistically, but somehow with some word, Yato gets cut off from saying the whole word of something and Danny gets a funny feeling in his chest! By the time he feels two hands holding him tightly, he realizes that he is A) not in ghost form, B) not in human form, and C) he was-

"A Thermos?" Yato asked. "Bit of a random item, but- HOLD ON YOU'RE A SHINKI?!"

Danny did not, in fact, know he was a Shinki.

The idea is: Yato, being a "god of calamity" (if this isnt actually true, F to me), and Danny, being... whatever the hell amalgamation of ecto-energy and ghost shit and human being that he is- they both sort of? overlap? If that makes sense. And so, even though Yato did not intend to call a Shinki, nor did he know Danny was a Shinki (and that he had apparently bestowed a name at some point and completely forgotten about except- that's impossible what the fuck) he had none the less a new Shinki in his possession. One that turned into a thermos.

Idk how this would go plotwise, but Yato would immediately turn around and go "hey, Yukine, isn't this great? We can use Danny to keep food warm in the winter-!" and then he gets wrestled to the ground by Hiyori of all people, who was previously keeping a good distance between her and Danny and also panicking a little bit because it seemed like his smell completely disappeared what-

And Danny is just "what the fuck what the fuck what the fuck" and "did my parents sell me to the calamity god at some point???"

The answer he gets is no, but he's never totally sure and is always suspicious about it.

Some more notes:

-> He freaks out Hiyori because he smells like an Ayakashi

-> Yukine is a little bit drawn to him due to their similar (enough) circumstances.

-> Yato doesn't give much of a shit beyond the usual, at first, because he's used to the presence of death and Ayakashi near him. And Danny's existence isn't much of a surprise to him after hanging out with a sort-of Ayakashi (Hiyori) for so long.

-> After transforming into a Shinki for Yato, Danny can, in fact, blight him! When he changes back to his non-thermos self though, he does not blight Yato.

-> Danny offers to teach Yukine math one (1) time when Hiyori is unavailable and it ends with both of them getting repeat lessons. Danny thinks its a rip-off that he's not in school and yet he's still doing homework.

I have this feeling that I have unofficial beef with my neighbor...

[airenyah]

ok so today i had my first thai class after a really long christmas break and somehow andreas gabalier (an austrian folk singer) and his music came up. and i don't remember what exactly my teacher said but he made a comment along the lines of "andreas gabalier is considered a standard good looking dude here in austria, right?" (my teacher is from thailand, so he wasn't sure about austrian people's preferences)

and his question was met with complete silence, because the thing is... our class consists of 3 middle aged guys plus one more guy in his mid 30s. and then there's me. the only girl

and since no one answered the question about andreas gabalier's looks, our teacher then addressed me directly and following conversation ensued:

teacher: "[airenyah]?" me: (feeling slightly shy and embarrassed) ".....i don't know what andreas gabalier looks like 🙈" everyone: (breaks out in laughter) middle-aged classmate: (highly amused) "i suspect he's not your type..." (me: "oh 🙈") "you're not missing out on anything :D"

i really like my teacher but god, let me live. don't put me on the spot like that 😩😩😩

It's a quarter after midnight and I need to go to bed. Who wants to see an outtake from In Spite Of You? :D It's below the cut 💜

"Or did it take a reunion with your mother to finally drive that point home?"

Frey's silence answered him.

"You don't deserve Athia. You don't deserve me. You've rejected every offering, every gift, every hand extended, until you got what you wanted. Until you—and only you—got something out of it. And now you want more? Selfish."

"What the fuck did I get out of this?" Frey asked, her voice shaking and soft.

"Athia," Susurrus sneered, "bending the knee to you, its savior. Face it, Frey, you're selfish. Self-serving. Everything you do, everything you are, serves to benefit yourself and no one else. You say you wish to see Athia thriving, but we both know that's a lie. You don't care about Athia. You never have."

"And what do you get out of destroying it?"

"Nothing. I don't do this for power or glory or accolades. I seek to destroy Athia because it's what I was made to do. Just as you were made to defend it. To love it, I imagine. The difference between you and I, Frey, is that I have never rejected my calling. But you? You flee from it."

hello seb. whatever is happening in seb-land right now?

We're still on holiday and they are starting to take their effects in the way that I'm not more relaxed. The opposite actually because I need to study for biology I write the exam next Friday and let me tell you things are not looking great on that front. I also forgot how socially awkward I could get. Apparently I can get very socially awkward.

i get distracted so easily but i promise i'll get more done ! eventually aaaa 🫶🏼

I guess I was thinking of how SM became both a tool & a weapon to many celebrities. We can't fully step into their shoes. Integrity is something they guard- w/ privacy. Someone said how celebrities now are more exposed by SM- which takes a toll on mental health & their lifestyles- (and those who care about them). At times we only see what may be seen as "calculated"- a strategy- a vicious cycle- especially when people get cruel. Only the good (truth) die young, lies thrive (like weeds).

social media is such a nightmare and such a morass of cruelty and fabrication that if i had even the smallest level of fame, no one would ever hear from me again. i say this as someone who also cherishes sm because of it being my one outlet in the midst of illness, since it affords me my ability to connect with the world at all, and the blessing it provides me in the incredible friends i've made, and the help and comfort, knowledge and kindness, it has given me for many years as an invisible person in her room. the gulf between social media for us vs. for famous people is immense, and while they also have extraordinary privileges and wealth and resources we cannot access or even entirely calculate, which is a social imbalance, it comes with losses too. the celebrity vs. privacy, exploitation vs. art issue has always been unfortunate, if not outright tragic, since hollywood came into being. tabloids ruined lives and exposed confidentiality even back then, but now anyone with a cell phone and an imagination can snap a photo or send an anonymous tip in to a gossip account and the thought of that is terrifying. tbh we should only have to see the strategy - ie: the necessary press and marketing - and in return receive the art and accept it in an embracing and thoughtful way, but that's not the structure of the machine. we crave the personal, we seek the details, the pieces, we idolize or we tear apart based on very little. i'm guilty of this by nature of being here talking about it, you know? i enjoy learning about people and what their process is and what inspires them and what they carry and go through because that humanism reveals so much in the art and is a source of empathy and connection, but it's almost paradoxical that that's also the thing that can cause harm. they can't succeed at megawatt star levels without fans' love and interest, and yet that can turn hostile and damaging because the press and the negativity follows too. it's worn down people's mental health and well-being for decades because no one is built to live under and withstand such constant scrutiny and invasion, it's frankly a miracle anyone ever survives it and gets through somewhat intact. but that doesn't mean those who don't or can't were lacking. the testament to personal integrity and strength comes from many different individual facets. fans could help this by acting with more empathy as a whole, but sadly we see fandom devolve into fighting/bullying/intrusion consistently instead (and stan twt thrives on that mean-spiritedness for reasons beyond my comprehension), at which point the best we can do is to individually treat others with care, and approach the artists we admire with respect and compassion (and subjective boundaries) ourselves. we have to hope goodness and truth will rise to the top - and it doesn't always, but we can still try to champion it whenever possible.
