#idkidk I love them idk

[itsalwaysdark]

also its so dumb that one of the arguments ppl have against a sims 5 is that theyve already invested too much money into 4. like yes its fucking scummy that ea charges so much for dlc and its Ludicrous the amt sims 4 costs if you have all the dlc and its going to keep getting more and more expensive but . to be honest . why are you paying for sims packs. im sry

[shari-ya]

listen to me. i have craved a lot of things growing up. it’s still there, deep within me somewhere, head on its knees, feeble and alive. i have sushed it down the way they sushed me down when i was younger. you see, i have taught myself how to hold it all in, keep it all down. how to not ask for something i even have the slightest clue that i will not receive. because if i let that glimmer of hope glint through my eyes for once and if my assumptions come true, i'd break myself further and hurt my wounded heart more. listen to me. i grew up wanting and i ended up not wanting. i grew up hoping and i ended up not hoping. i grew up asking, demanding and i grew up shaking hands with disappointment. (she is my friend. we have been together for a very long time.) listen to me. no it did not made me stronger, it made me angrier. and i wish i turned out to be the other one. because when i'm angry, i cry and i hate it. tears all over my tee, i hate it. tears that always has been mistaken for my defeat instead of my fight. i hate it. listen to me. the more i think about it, the more it starts to make no sense. and i hate it because all my childhood, that is what i did. tried finding sense in their denial. made myself go crazy looking for their reasons of just-not-getting-it, not getting me. listen to me. i have got so much to tell them and a lot more to ask. but i am afraid that it too will be denied. that it too will make no sense. that it too will well my eyes up. that it too will wet my shirt. that it too will be considered as a defeat.

thinking about Kiryu so much today has given me the urge to finish some of my kazumaji fics + start 2 more. dont ask me how many are already sitting in my drafts <3

[tinukis]

i hate that im scared to write and i hate that im so picky with fics bc i have very specific needs to be fulfilled and it is hard to meet those needs...

i soooo bad desire zolusan, post wano specifically bc in my head thats when all three get together. wci is when sanji realizes his feelings for luffy– or rather accepts that he is in love with him (two years of pining im so sorry sanji) that and also finding difficulty in accepting his feelings for zoro too so basically: sanji being a mess

but idk zolusan mutual pining but they're all idiots. sanji has his own struggles, but imagine zoro's feelings or luffy's feelings. zoro keeping them internalized because it's not that important and wouldn't change a thing, yet he yearns. luffy... the guy is unpredictable imo. and i think that focusing on his perspective would be a lot of fun. he's already happy with what he has but he wants to be selfish and ask for more. idkidk words are hard but these three live rent free in my brain and they do not want to leave send help

(ALSO. imagine discussing the death pact and luffy finding out about it... unrelated to what i said but im talking about zolusan can u blame me... like. God!!!!!!!!!!! theres this one fanart where zoro does go through with it and luffy finds out and. Sighs.)

[head---ache]

Do you have any tips on how to make a good au I'm making one and I need tips and I love your au's so...

ouuuu let me see if i can put my thoughts into a somewhat coherent explanation lmao

Usually my au's start with just an idea for character design! I don't always feel like creating a whole character from scratch, tho, which is why I like designing outfits for already existing characters. I normally pick and aesthetic, grab a bunch of references i like of said aesthetic (and that is my first tip, grab references for ANYTHING you find, it can bring a lot of inspo even for the story!!), and put it all onto a character. This happened with the cowboys au, for example, which just started as me trying to draw a cowboy hat on Sonic lmao

It's during the process of the first character design that the story starts to develop! Because I usually like adding story into these designs. That was the case with L&L Sonic, in which I added a robotic prosthetic leg because I thought it would be cool, and that led me to start thinking of an explanation as to how this happened, and a story started developing from that! (Second tip being, the best character designs have purpose! Why does X character dress like this? Or why do they carry Y weapon?)

Now more story focused, since the story starts developing alongside the first character, the rest is a matter of giving each character a purpose for this story, and that makes it a whole plot. Going back to the cowboy au, I already knew I wanted Sonic and Shadow to be runaways, since I had already given them weapons and clothing to hide their faces, ect, so I just had to think who they were running from! And that eventually brought Blaze as sheriff, and that soon developed into a whole story, where by giving each character a purpose, the world building kind of came naturally (so third tip, give each character a purpose and that will help to move the story).

Those are just the general things I can think of right now! I hope this helps jskdbskd idk if i explained myself properly. Usually I don't really put this much thought into my au's! Its just like a flow??? I don't really think about??? Normally as soon as I'm done with the first character I already have a pretty good idea of what the au will be idkidk

If you have any more questions, maybe going into something more specific, feel free to ask!!:]

dybmn 7… wow. it’s 5:30 in the morning and i’m in complete awe. every thing about it was great. from reader not automatically giving in and communicating about her reservations to spencer, to spencer listening and reassuring her. them progressing in the bed and spencer acknowledging readers nerves and calming her down by talking to her and putting her at ease. (spencer calling reader jumpy was so cute to me idkidk!). spencer getting so lost in reader (literally pussy drunk) he kept going and reader desperately being like “baby.. spencer!” was so real of u. the intimacy of reader just wanting to lay with spencer after and then talking about when they first met.. i’m in love. ur writing is honestly so beautiful and i love u with everything ever!! also we have the same name!! #🐙anon

YAYYYY HIII ANONYMOUS SAM!!! sams win!!! wooooo!!!!!

im super glad you liked how they didn’t just immediately have sex, it was rlly important to me that it not be only about what specifically one of them wanted so like yes reader kept telling spence she wanted to have sex but he didn’t want to and then when he was ready it wasn’t just like oh well ig now that you want it we can just do whatever you want, i really wanted the dynamic to be very equal and fair and i wanted the relationship to be the center point and have the smut follow that. idk if that makes any sense but it was my thought process lol

and also i thought him calling her jumpy was very cute too😭😭 idk what it is but ugh he just loves her so much they care about each other so much! :( it makes me extremely happy that you guys appreciate their affection and care for each other just as much as the smut

[ghostofwriting]

I've been loving the Kildare split au so so unbelievably much! you are so talented!! it's so much fun to read and I'm so invested!

now the point of this was showing you the Angel album covers I made bc I was feeling inspired! idk if they're like super good but yeah! I also made a tracklist thingy idkidk I hope you enjoy them!! I'll stop rambling now😭😭

Oh my god!!!! I love these so much!!! You’re so talented. I really like 3 and 2 as a pair. Let me know if I can use them in the smau!

Thank you thank you thank you for this and for reading, you’re so incredibly sweet

[futurequibblerjournalist]

Hello hello again!!!! :3

I loveloveLOVE your Lucius/Viktor post!! Once again, you brighten my noggin w your thoughts (:

Umumumummmmmmmm so is there anyone else you want an excuse to yap about LOL Idkidk I just want to hear your thoughts about everyone and everything!!

Idk if you have any/many thoughts about them, but maybe we could hear about the Averys and Sinistras? Especially Edmund's unnamed fiancée !!!!

Ahhhhhh your brain is just so !!!! /Pos

- 🍃

Ahhhh I'm so glad you liked it,, it fully helped fuel my Xenophilius post!!

I think I might take this time to talk about some good old Pebill!! I saw this one tiktok a few days ago and I've been so obsessed since. Welcome to Pebill City, population ME!!!!

I am,, far too fond of giving ships fun little names so I bestow upon thee,,, ratseer lol

I specifically love these two in a band au. I'm gonna write one eventually and I'm gonna make them so happy and sappy and cute and just like the tiktok says they'll have a daughter called Rosemary. I'm just so in love with them. Peter who plays the second guitar in the band and like the occasional trumpet and sometimes he thinks it's kinda silly that he's in the band but also he's just so happy to be there. He saved all his money from his part time job to buy the most run-down Volkswagen T1 when the band started getting big enough to have to travel around for stuff and he shows up like "TADA!" all proud of himself cause he solved their problem. He meets Sybill at one of these travel gigs. They're playing at a wedding and maybe she's like the bride's sister or just a bridesmaid or something and she's wearing a really flowy dress and she's spinning around right in front of him having the time of her life and her thick curls are bouncing and you can just see Peter melt while he's on stage playing cause he misses a cord or something. And the guys notice and they insist that the has to talk to her and he's all nervous and shit but then Sybill comes to talk to him because she thinks he's really cute and they hit it off. They call at each stop they have and a few months in they go pick her up before moving onto a bigger gig and she just stays with them.

He wants to settle down at some point when Sybill ends up pregnant and he almost leaves the band but Sybill insists that she's fine travelling around with them because that's the life she loves and she wants their daughter to be born a free soul and she sees in her cards that she's supposed to be born a certain place and Peter is just like [scout's salute] "yes ma'am" and I just think they're so stinking cute vjnfgjbngjbngj

I need to figure out this band au at some point cause it's been rotting my brain lately, I just have so many long fics I wanna write I don't feel like I can start a new one now even if I want to vjfnbjgnbj

I have,,, far too many thoughts on both the Averys, the Sinistras but especially Edmund's fiancee!!!! I've been waiting for a chance to talk about her honestly,,,

Let's start with the Averys,,,,

Edmund Avery Senior, the only child of Herschel Avery and Miriam Avery, is Edmund's father, in case that wasn't clear from the name. Edmund Senior works as an archivist for the Ministry of Magic and he's got a spot in the Wizengamot along with his father Herschel. The two are not close and if you didn't know you wouldn't think they were father and son. During most of Edmund's Senior's childhood his mother was heavily sedated and he was more or less raised by the family house elf, Dotty (usually called Dot and Dorothy in muggle aus). Dot is also the house elf who helped raise Edmund Junior. Edmund Senior attended school with Tom Riddle and was sorted into Slytherin and was one of Tom's dorm mates. They were also just close friends (as close friends as Tom could have). Edmund Senior was part of the reason Tom managed to open the Chamber of Secrets as he showed him a book featuring hints of the Chambers being real. To sum Edmund Senior up he's an incredibly nerdy insecure man. He loves history and in a muggle au he collects model aeroplanes. He's got a good handful of childhood trauma, a difficult relationship with his family and most of his peers and the only thing he's really got going for him is that he's an incredibly devoted husband who's down bad for his wife. She's luckily incredibly wooed by what I can only describe as his autism rizz lmao (I hate that so much ew actually)

Edmund's mother and Edmund Senior's wife is Esther, a very attractive recovered alcoholic. Rumours fly around frequently about her being unfaithful to her husband though she could never dream of it. Most of what is known about her is fabricated, which is entirely intentional as she's hiding things about herself such as her country of birth. Esther lost her family during the Holocaust. She met Edmund while they were both in their mid-twenties and they got married a while later and eventually had their only son Edmund Avery Junior. Their son has inherited his father's looks save for his mother's hair colour and many beauty spots as well as her eating disorder.

Due to Esther's alcoholism and a slight strain on their relationship over the years due to Edmund Senior favouring his work too much, Edmund Junior had much more to do with Dot, their house elf, than what would be considered normal as she would have to step in where Esther sometimes lacked. Despite this Edmund was an incredible mummy's boy and still is, something Esther cherished immensely as she loved being both a mother and wife. He would cling to her at any given time, he'd rather have tea with her than play with other children, he'd come running to her crying at the smallest inconvenience, he was so proud of wearing fancy clothes like his father and getting a spray of his mother's perfume.

The Avery family is resembled by Barn Owls similar to how the Malfoys are represented by (albino?) peacocks. Edmund Senior gifted Esther a taxidermied rat when they first started dating, similar to how Barn Owls gift their mates prey and while others find it incredibly weird they now have a shared love for taxidermied animals and he will gift her more on their anniversaries/on Valentine's Days/etc. Edmund Senior and Esther seem like an incredibly unlikely pair to everyone else but Esther fell for him in part because he was one of the only men who could see her for her mind and her heart rather than just her looks (even if he's down bad for those too lol)

Idk where else to mention this but they're both pureblood wizards,,,

They're probably my favourite of the parents,,, which is why they're the only knights of walpurgis era characters that have their own pinterest collection for pictures,,,, I would have shared it but,,, I have used all my pictures up for one post T-T

Onto the Sinistras I have considerably less but I can fill you in a bit,,,

Aurora is the only daughter of Altair Aseel Sinistra and Nazareth Sinistra née Lubilanji. Nazareth is Sierra Leonean albeit has lived in England for her entire life. She's also a half-blood. She's one of seven siblings and when she attended Hogwarts she was sorted into Gryffindor. She is incredibly fond of cats and puzzles. During her time at Hogwarts, she was part of the Slug Club. Altair is a pureblood wizard and the second son of Aseel Najm Sinistra and Sidra Ahyam Sinistra and the younger brother of Tariq Aseel Sinistra. His family is Egyptian but they've lived in England for the past two or so generations I'm thinking?? Like his daughter, he was a Ravenclaw when he attended school and he became Prefect during his fifth year.

Taking a bit of a side step here since this ask was after all about all the Sinistras,,, Tariq marries Salma Al-Mashriq, a pureblood Hufflepuff and together they have three children; Rashid, Hisham and Samara who are all younger than Aurora (Rashid (Slytherin) and Hisham (Ravenclaw) are third and second years when Aurora is in her seventh year and Samara is not yet attending school). Salma was part of a handful of extracurricular activities such as being a School Paper Writer, a member of the Gobstones Club and the Orchestra. Tariq similarly had a lot of extracurricular activities as well. He was a Slug Club Member, Ravenclaw Quidditch Captain and Chaser and School Paper Manager.

I'm still playing around with this idea so it's going to get more polished at some point but I think Altair and Salma had a thing going on at some point but something happened,, Salma married Tariq and Altair who'd been friendly with Nazareth and already was fond of her for other reasons ended up marrying her. He was able to mostly push his feelings aside after Aurora was born. He would have loved at least one more child for him to dote on and focus on, but Aurora was not an easy child and while it not being the same obviously, they got have a cat, Moonbow, that both Altair and Nazareth love like she's their second child.

Now onto Priya,,, my beloved < 3

Edmund's fiancee is Lakshmipriya Mohanraj also known as Priya. She was born October 13, 1960, and she's the only daughter of Siddarth Mohanraj and Rajeshwariammal Mohanraj. She's got two brothers, Raja and Dhananjay, though both have sadly passed, one of them in a motorcycle accident they were both in and the other took his life about a month later.

She is a mean lesbian who doesn't quite know she's a lesbian yet. She's tired of Edmund's shit and having to deal with him and it's her mood like,, 85% of the time. Her family are all loyal Death Eaters which is part of the reason why they got engaged in the first place. The Mohanraj family was also just a nice connection and if there's one thing Edmund Senior values it's connections.

She ends up marrying Endmund Junior and after A LOT of trial and error, they have a son, Siddharth Avery and later a daughter, Esther Avery (Junior technically I suppose,, since she's named after Edmund's mother). It's very clear that Priya favours her son while Edmund somewhat hesitantly ends up favouring their daughter.

Little Siddharth thinks his dad is super cool and he thinks his dad's friend (Severus) is even cooler which Priya always finds incredibly annoying cause she cannot STAND Severus,,, like at all

Priya and Edmund have some moments of bonding together but for the most part, the two cannot stand each other. They come together to judge other people and oh boy do they do it well. They're big on their children having nice manners and not being a bother to others.

I am actually in love with Priya,, she serves so much cunt and still, she's stuck with her loser husband. She probably hoped he would get caught for being a Death Eater and get sent to Azkaban and she was so annoyed when he successfully convinced people he was under the Imperius curse,,,

This became,,, soooo long which is just becoming the norm at this point honestly lmao but I hope you enjoyed all of this!!! I'll definitely come back and talk more about both the Averys and the Sinistras cause I've got other asks about them vjfnbjgnb (at least the Sinistras I think,,, I can't remember if the Averys are in there ooop)

[beeholyshit]

1, 3, 5, 10 and 16 for magnolia 🫵 i know NOTHING about her it's time you tell me

OKIIIIEEE, I'm still thinking of Magnolia's lore and everything so hehe MAYBE I CHANGE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE

1. what are the basics of your self insert? name, date of birth, height, etc.?

Name: Magnolia Reséndez (let's see if one day she gets a maiden name)

Birthday: May 15. I usually make my oc's birthday the day I draw them for the first time but I thought it would fit more on May idk.

Height: 5'1-2

3. how do the other characters generally feel about your self insert?

She is usually very curious and supportive (she is just like that one auntie) so keep that in mind. Since she used to help Luchino with his research, people would see her as a figure of authority (even if she doesn't act like it). I was actually thinking that the people that doesn't treat her like that at all may be Luchino who treats her more like a close friend and doesn't act all that serious with her and maybe Andrew (I still want to adopt him but I haven't think about anything yet oops), maybe he is just a little too shy to talk with her but she really wants to make him feel a little less lonely.

In the other hand, I feel like after the evil reptilian thing Luchino would be more aggresive with her at first since he doesn't know she is the one tryint to hunt him down for research, but after he discovers she is the one trying to do so he is just kinda indecisive and confused about the idea of her wiwiwi.

5. does your self insert have any special powers or abilities?

Since she is a zookeeper she has developed the ability of being very perceptive, has a good eye and ear and is always aware of what is going on around her. I was thinking that if she was in-game she would be a contain/rescue hybrid type and she would have tranquilizer darts to contain the hunter hehe

10. how do the other characters feel about your self insert and f/o’s relationship?

I'M A LITTLE TROUBLED WITH THIS BECAUSE OOOOM... let's say that Luchino and Magnolia don't get together when he is still human, they liked each other but they were so used to each other they never really payed attention to it, THEY WERE JUST COMFORTABLE WITH HOW THINGS WERE SO... also Luchino being too focused on his research to think about those things. After the evil reptilian thing then it's when they just realize what was going on (on Magnolia's side thinking that Luchino was killed by the evil reptilian so she started a research on his name as an act of her love towards him and on Luchino's side: missing her and noticing how her absence is really hurting him, also the fact she is doing the research for him IDKIDK).

Soooo, I really haven't think how they get together but I think you can imagine how people view their relationship hehe. Maybe at the start people wonder if they are together or married since they almost act like old married couple but after evil reptilian eerrrmmm...

what da hell the woman doin/JJJ

16. freebie! name a fact about your self insert you want everyone to know.

FUN FACT: Magnolia would take Andrew to the zoo and show him the birds, maybe let him hold them on his arm HEHEEH

[pomsdoodlefort]

(For the evil art challenge)

Your art has lots of soft colors so use harsh colors/neons! (If you can of course like I understand bright colors can be a lot)

If not the colors than no soft lines, only harsh angles and sharp corners. >:3

No! Not my soft lines! They make my art so flufffyyyyy.

*Sigh* Fine fine if I *must*:

I've been meaning to finish this sketch of Goose for awhile so I figured this is a good opportunity. This was really fun to figure out, thank you so much for participating! I'm a late 80s early 90s baby so I do love me a neon, I just am not good at working with them. Partly because of eye weirdness and a bit of double vision with colours I get sometimes. So, I put a little bit of that into the final piece! Idk, does this still count at soft? Idkidk, I tried!

Sketches and standard lineart extras!

[ticklystuff]

:O for the team ask game! Kafka, Black Swan, Ruan Mei, and Luocha (I love women (I love twinks (I love women & twinks))) I can't tell if my team is good or bad honestly :'D

ask game is closed!

hello~ you are so valid lmao luocha is one of the girlies (also yes your team is quite good from a gameplay perspective)

also sorry i don't think i totally understand black swan's character yet so i might be a little inaccurate when it comes to her!

who’s the most ticklish character

i think it'd be ruan mei! she doesn't really mind, though, and i think she'd be interested in why she's so ticklish compared to her teammates or why people laugh when tickled. yeah tbh i think she'd find tickling fascinating because what is the evolutionary advantage of being born with a trait that can be so debilitating

who’s the character that most people would assume isn't ticklish, but actually is

black swan because she literally does not have a body lmao BUT you can still tickle her in dreams and such! it surprised her too when she first became a memokeeper and felt the light breeze tingle against her back in a dream like bruh what was even the point of giving up your body if you can still feel stuff asdlkfjs

who’s the character that everyone gangs up on and tickles

oh it's absolutely luocha because he's the only guy on the team and you cannot convince me that kafka doesn't get the others to tickle him to tears. she tells him that it could be ten times worse but they don't want to ruin his pretty face~ also they'd love to tease him to get him to reveal his true identity like "are u really a merchant? what's in that coffin of yours hm?"

who’s the character that somehow knows everyone else’s tickle spots and reveals them to others

oh it is absolutely black swan because she collects memories due to her memokeeper job, so she knows where everyone has been tickled and which spots are the best. she wouldn't go around spreading them so blatantly though but might subtly drop a spot like "ah luocha, i came across the cutest memory of your friends tickling you~ i think they were counting your ribs? absolutely heartwarming." also i've mentioned this before but ruan mei would be good at guessing just based on the vibes people give off

who's the character with one specific tickle spot that only one other person knows about

ok idk if you remember but during the recent story quest but there was a shot of black swan's back turned to the camera and there was a good view of the beauty mark on her back which i'm pretty sure they wanted to show off for whatever reason but ya kafka saw the beauty mark too and was like "you got a bit of dirt there, pretty lady" and gave her a poke and when black swan jumped she was just like "whoops~"

who’s the most likely to win gang tickle wars

i'm going to assume these tickle wars occur in a dream bc well black swan does not have a body and she has the ability to choose who gets to see her so you probably can't tickle her irl and that's just not fair lol but even in a dream it's still black swan! like have you seen her burst?? she summons those giant arms and they have claws too!! and she can make people forget things for a moment, so they're like what were we doing again?? but ya black swan is the tickle monster if black swan chooses to play fair, then it's kafka because kafka comes from a place where the people do not feel fear (her backstory makes her sound like some eldritch horror) so she will do absolutely anything to win. also she still has the ability to influence people's minds and can use that to turn the tables when things do start getting bad like "listen, you will tickle luocha"

which character has a kink for tickling

i feel like the easy answer here is kafka so maybe her? BUT i just have this feeling in my soul that would luocha would have a tickle kink too idkidk he's giving me "magikarp in the streets, gyarados in the sheets" vibes, like i just feel that he's into some shit more out there than just tickling, but also tickling is one of his kinks

which character didn’t even know they were ticklish until another character tickled them

kafka because no one has ever tried to tickle her before because of how turly frightening she is but black swan does not fear her and since she does not have any memories of kafka being tickled, she had to just create some for herself

which two characters have tickle fights all the time

i think ruan mei would have this one-sided interest in tickling black swan because how does being a memokeeper work? does she feel tickles the same way humans do? will she get tired when tickled for long periods of time or is her energy endless? these are all questions that black swan has answered for her already but ruan mei will still go out of her to try and tickle her from time to time i think kafka would also bully luocha because only one of them can be aloof and mysterious. she later finds out that luocha is actually a pretty skilled tickler too when he wants to be and she has to put a lot more effort into these things than initially expected

[velarisdusk]

elucien or elriel

great question 😃 next question 😃 (I'll answer but you can't send me death threats ok?)

listen i love both idk if that's allowed but i genuinely see the appeal of both and think either one would be cute. on one hand, i think it would be a little cliche for the 3 brothers to end up with the 3 sisters, and also elucien are mates.

BUT on the other i also think it would be nice to look at the 3 brothers/3 sisters thing in like a prophecy kind of way? like maybe the mother or the cauldron needed it that way so thats why it pushed rhys/cass/az together? to meet the archeron sisters?

but also i saw a spoiler for one of the CC books [EXTREMELY UNINFORMED SPOILER AHEAD IF YOU CARE] having to do with the cauldron being tampered with or something? i havent read any of CC so idkidk

i could see myself enjoying a story where the 3 brothers and sisters all join together to be an all-powerful, immoveable force to be reckoned with. HOWEVER, i could also see myself enjoying a story where elain gets closer to lucien (mostly bc i enjoy the idea of them getting into a heated fight bc lucien's got a witty fucking mouth and i see her clapping back unexpectedly and they get into it but then they start staring at each other's lips and boom they kiss).

in short, whichever one is endgame i'll be happy with, and i will quietly mourn the other one. but theres no sign of the next acotar book anytime soon so i will continue to enjoy both

[mihai-florescu]

Regarding the five star four star and 2 three stars for each unit thing they tend to do my biggest wish is for himeru/kohaku and tatsumi/mayoi centre. Idk how to explain it but hiiro and rinne were the focus of the main story and aira and niki felt like they got a bit of character from that too (more than their other 2 members at least) so this just kinda feels. Right? I've seen people theorise that they'll address kaname or that he'll wake up and I don't doubt that logic, I just hope if so kohaku and mayoi can be of some significance. I think kohaku and mayoi are decent to bring attention to because despite himeru trying to be distant at first I think he definitely is most fond of kohaku, and don't ask me about tatsumi and mayoi you're talking to a ttmy shipper I'll be here all day. Basically I just think if himeru and tatsumi were to go through the horrors their unit mates would be there for them but those two in particular somewhat understand them a bit better. Before anyone tells me these 4 were in the romantic date scout I know. I've simply decided to remove it from my memory because I could never hate a story more than that one.

I've just ranted about alkakurei to you now. It's good to be back I guess

Im hoping for niki to have a really big moment in the tour personally, as well as aira, in a different light than what we've seen so far. I just...wish i cared more for them than i really do. And I wish i could make myself care, but alas, i can live with it just fine actually. The card distribution, well, im trying to keep track of when they've had cards last already/who's still due. Tatsumi still needs a ts2 so im counting him out of the possible tour 5stars (could be a 4star), but everyone else i think is eligible from that perspective. Oh......ohhhh.....it just came to mind, but you know how they did the altered and graduation tours? Tatsumi's ts2 could totally be running during the alkakurei tour, and be related to the story in that manner. Im willing to bet on this actually, nevermind, he's definitely getting a tour 5star in the gacha. And kohaku getting his fs2 then as well would be so cruel...higgles. rip alkakureiPs. Himemayo tour 5stars sounds plausible. But so does amagi bros to parallel their main story 5stars, or any other combination... idkidk im going to stop speculating until we have more information. Um. Checkmate anime is coming out first and i will be focusing my attention and obsession there, sorry. My knightspilled checkmateholic eichip swag.

Im not sure if you meant you actually hate romantic date /srs or if it was said in a "omg i hate x thing its gonna be the only thing i think about for days" way. I feel like you meant it /srs but im personally a fan of the story poking fun at fandom behavior, giving into and critiquing at the same time, as well as the insights into himeru's psyche. The game with affinity points from the other characters is just in himeru's head and a manifestation of his subconscious, where he thinks no one's love for him can grow as he doesnt let them actually know Him, the person beyond the himeru persona. Only tatsumi who loves everyone could still love him. And thats also pissing him off.

They both approach and view things, relationships, motivation etc so differently, a lot of himeru's internal monologues are filled with "negative" feelings (jealousy, pride, paranoia etc. Even the earliest we know of him is that he ran away from home because his dad remarried and he couldnt accept it, he's been like this forever. And yet, these feelings arent fitting with the perfect ido persona, so he bottles them up, with the occasional slip ups. Himeru's presence and slow opening up in crazy:b of all units, the group driven by their feelings and desires, is so so important to me.) whereas tatsumi just...has so much love and acceptance (although as much as they're an important part of his character, it's just as important that he also has his own wishes and desires and he does act on them, moreso than himeru at least. Like his hobby of driving recklessly, which he doesnt do because he cant drive well, but because he wants to do it like that and to experience the fun even if it's unconventional or incomprehensible to others). And this gap in their mentalities and approaches to life is scary for himeru. It's a hundred times harder to love and save another than to hate or break someone down (paraphrasing from another enstars quote lmao), i can empathize with himeru having complicated feelings about tatsumi's character that he doesnt understand himself, so he defaults to calling him unpleasant rather than having to unpack it. Let aside that beyond the difference in approaches they also have a complicated past, it's easier to just blame tatsumi who can take it seemingly unscathed. I think romantic date is fun to read both before and after having experienced obbligato...especially moreso after, when youre aware of the foreshadowing and further developments (this has been my experience with most of akira's gacha stories he's written in es2 era)

Im not a tthm shipper in the traditional sense of "i want to see them date" cuz i think what they have going on is much more fascinating and nuanced than that and it'd do the relationship a disservice imo. I was gonna say it's also fun to put these characters who struggle with understanding each other and actual romance and love in general actually in every sense of the word together but thats kind of the entire cast. A lot of my favorite dynamics at least, that have had varying degrees of success and development. However, it is something i enjoy, obviously, so i will always remain fond of romantic date...wah i rambled about this for a very long time, i'll stop now!

I cant get over part two omg!!!! Art lashing out at the reader!! TASHI!! AHHH!! Patrick being so soft and sweet even though he cheated ugh i love them…. happy to be on my toxic island ngl i kinda love the way the reader goes from art to tashi to patrick - its interesting because it feels like she is actually important in their lives like she isn’t just a warm body (even though she is) she is that connection between them all,,, ahh idk! i just love reader and maybe a little more self worth would be good but honestly i kinda just want her and tashi to have a night together, maybe Tashi inspires the reader to have more say in the way her relationship dynamics work… idkidk all very rambly!!

I neeeeed to write Tashi and reader in depth for part 3 so so badly.

Good thing I know the perfect reason 😁
