heyy!!!!!!! Ok so I promised acappella (did i? .... eh) so! I'm basically gonna take this as my chance to rant about my group and my friends <3333 (if this does end up being too annoying, genuinely i'm sorry, i just get excited abt it too much and i like talking abt it l o l )

ok so BASICALLY i am in this acappella group at my school, and we have 13 different ones so some of them have different themes so my group does music from movies, tv series, video games, and musicals [AND!!!!!!! something i recently proposed----- podcasts hehehehehhee bc i have sooooooooo many podcast song suggestions for our rep] anyway there's like 18 of us and it's really fun and everyone is just so lovely and kind. (i promise i'm not gonna talk abt everybody, just the ppl i'm like closest with)

the person who's probably the closest friend i've made so far in college is also an alto, and i love her so much, she's so wonderful. she's sort of boisterous and really caring and a very good actor. she's super nice just to chill with, and at the same time it's always so much fun talking to her. once at rehearsal during an audition i was having a tic attack and she noticed what was going on and said that she could help me out if i needed it, which was so weird but nice bc most of the time when i'm having tics, ppl aren't mean exactly but they definitely don't really know what's going on. she also has an AMAZING singing voice, and she did a killer solo on I'm Still Standing our first semester there. she's just so beautiful and the kind of person that you feel comfortable around just by the way she is

when i was running for music director, there was another freshman that was running for the job as well, which was stressful but also-- really so cool, bc she's so smart and talented and experienced, and so vibrant like just as a person too. she also has a killer singing voice (ofccccc) and the most expressive, commanding performance energy. when the rest of the group was discussing who they wanted to vote for (our group in particular amongst the thirteen is infamous for discussions) we were both super nervous!! and hanging out in the hallway talking about our goals for the group, and we both have so many of the same ideas about stuff like vowels and dynamics and like general technique, it's just been so exhilerating to get to talk to her and know her! i really hope that in the next election she runs again so we can work together officially!!! she's also an artist and her art is so good :DDD

ok last person i'm gonna go in detail abt---- my co-md, who i actually did not really like when i joined the group. just sort of like did not vibe with him initially, but getting to spend more time with him i actually really do enjoy talking to him and hanging around, esp now that we're working together! it's been a stressful semester acappella-wise due to a sudden and weird resignation from our former long term md, but me and him preparing to take over now that our remaining md graduated, it's honestly just been so fun. he's so smart at music theory, and i feel like our different strengths just work really well together when we're leading. one of the things i was most stressed abt in becoming md was having to take charge, esp as an underclassman leading upperclassmen, but he's been so open to all my thoughts and suggestions, and whenever i'm feeling anxious abt getting people's attention or being too pushy, he makes sure everyone is on the same page, which i think is really nice. we had group karaoke once and we sang teenagers by mcr together lol

anyway so now i'm going into my first official semester as co-md with a killer new rep selection, with one song that i'm co arranging which is so exciting!!!!! i just really love everyone i've met in acappella and every bit of music we've put together.

why did tim dismiss his suspicions on dr connor like that in chapter 12 ?

this is a REALLY good question so I started yapping!! spoilers for Red Robin and for LoF under the cut :3

for those not familiar with Batfam Lore (which is perfectly alright!!), Bruce went missing in "the timestream" last year (in LoF). He was believed to be dead and during that time, Tim was the only Bat that believed he was alive. (this is a very nuanced subject because everyone's perspective during that time isn't inherently wrong.) Tim was not believed and it caused a huge fight between Tim and Dick, mostly because Dick gave the mantle of Robin to Damian and told Tim that he wanted to "be his equal"

in my opinion, Dick had a good sentiment but with the wrong timing and handling of it. Tim doesn't do "equals" very well, and he was mourning the man he considers his father, at the time. he thought that Dick and he were going to be Batman and Robin together, and the expectation was thrown away. Then, when Tim suggested that Bruce was still alive, Dick became very worried that Tim was going off the deep end. Which is also a valid concern because Tim was isolating himself from everyone at that time. Steph had faked her death and not told Tim, Kon and Bart had both died. He was NOT doing so well.

That's why he had the fight with Dick and he left Gotham. He went across the world, searching for evidence that Bruce was alive in the timestream. Tim has a tendency to keep things close to his chest (tendency is a loose term, because at his core, this is what Tim is) and from what I can tell, this incident did not fix things.

In LoF (because here, we care about character development), when Bruce came back, the dynamic shifted in the family. Everything was different, Tim wasn't his Robin anymore, he didn't get to see Damian grow into a great Robin, Dick had to be Batman, etc. They have actually talked things out and the family is doing better than before, and have been in a long time. But Tim still keeps things to his chest.

Like how he discovered that Peter was from an alternate dimension. Tim admits in (chapter 9? I think? maybe chapter 10) that it wasn't because of Damian's smug attitude about figuring out he's Spider-Man, but mostly because he wanted to collect evidence and get his theory laid perfectly out. That way the others would believe him. Tim struggles with this even though he knows that his family is trying.

So when Peter says something that appears very contradictory (they have no reason to believe that Dr. Connors isn't Mysterio), Tim says that he believes him. Even if Tim is doubtful and will be creating contingency plans and theories about Dr. Connors anyway, he chooses to believe Peter. He saw that it was distressing Peter and wanted him to know they were on his side. So even if Peter turns out to be wrong about Dr. Connors, he had someone in his corner

anyone else think about these two and get really really really sad

cw about ponyboy and his suicidal thoughts/ideation under the cut re: deaths at my door/throwing in the towel staging and my lil opinions!!!!

tonight i am thinking about how the staging & connotations of deaths at my door vaguely implies pony contemplating suicide/having suicidal thoughts (or. idk that’s how i read it anyway) particularly provoked by the lines like “i swear that [death] it’s following me / death’s shadow is long and it grows all around me ” “you should move on / you’d be better off without me” etc and how he fiddles and stares down with his open switchblade the entire song, held tight in his hand till the end when johnny convinces him to close the blade and finally hand it over, finalized by johnny holding pony’s hand/shoulder and grounding him

this is Particularly insane to me because not five minutes later, the next time we see pony, it’s him still upstage singing the final verse to throwing in the towel with darry and soda, the highest harmony, which reads like “this is the darkest hour of the darkest night / looking overhead, you don’t see no light / […] there ain’t no letting go” and “that’s what love is all about […] / there ain’t no throwing in the towel”.

pony’s night of contemplating suicide in deaths at my door is his literal self-proclaimed “darkest hour of the darkest night” but it’s his brothers and family — johnny who talks him down, and soda & darry’s spirit he can still feel within him — that save him and convince him not to “throw in the towel”. which, of course, is directly paralleling soda talking darry down from doing the same damn thing (i could talk for Ages about how parallel of characters pony and darry are, but that’s. an entirely different Thing).

idk i just think it’s SO interesting that they have pony sing this verse with both of them right after DAMD bc that literally quite WAS his “darkest hour of the darkest night”, in fact it very well could’ve been his final hour of his final night, but he was talked down and convinced by family and love and brotherhood that he fuckin needs to be here still. that he’s got people who love him, people who need him, and he can’t give up on them and leave them alone because they never gave up on him, not even when things got unimaginably hard or when they felt like “giving out” with their “heads full of doubt” etc. yk. idk sorry this is probably sooo incoherent but. idk i just have so many thoughts about ponyboy ughhh

I genuinely cannot wait to see these two respectively have horrible mental/emotional meltdowns somehow

How Demons Sleep ~ 

Right to Left: 

Oni Eiko - Murmur Tsumuru - Garp Goemon - Agares Picero - Furfur - Crocell Kerori - Leviathan Leiji - Balam Shichiro - Balse Robin - Ifrit Djinn Eito - Vine Garson

My Rough Translation:

- STANDARD:

Caps to protect horns. 

There are some devils who use earmuffs and covers to protect parts of their face. The bed and pillows are generally large, as the wings, tail, and body may get deformed due to different sleeping positions.

- HAMMOCK:

Popular because of its floating feeling. Recommended for uninhibited demons. Many demons lay out their favorite things in it. There are holes through which feathers and tails can pass. 

- Garp's Face Cover:

Handmade face cover used so as not to accidentally flip the face hair.

- Agares's Shisho Bed:

A blissful fluffy bed that only the Agares family is allowed to have.

- Tail-wrapping Type:

Wraps his/her tail around the whole body. Excellent sense of security.

(This is Sergeant Furfur)

- Water Tank (Reiji):

For demons that live in the water. High-end products.

Commonly used for sleeping in oceans and rivers, but often used for sleeping on land. Reiji's is a fully-equipped, ultra-luxury water tank.

- Ice Beds:

(Kerori and Chima)

A cool bed in the Crocell family. Handmade by the mother. Made of ice that never melts.

- Burning Cradle (Ifrit):

Sleeps in a fire that burns all night long.

An excellent product that can be used many times by simply re-lighting it.

- Nest Faction (Balam):

Made of tree branches and dead grass. Sleeps by wrapping himself with his own feathers. Basic cross-legged posture.

- Robin:

Sleeps on flowers and grass.

Sleeps in trees.

- Crucible Faction (Vine):

Poison jar. No.1 in attack resistance (meaning it is difficult for anyone to attack Vine when he is in the jar.) Favored by demon clans that are resistant to poisons. Some clans sleep in poison swamps.

it’s very likely that atsushi’s parents didn’t even name him. he was abandoned at the orphanage as a baby, supposedly in awful condition, (according to the headmaster, “this hardly counts as abuse compared to what your parents did to you in your infancy”) and during his years in the orphanage he was referred to as “number 78” because no one knew what his name was, or if he even had one. they didn’t bother to name him or anything, he was just a number, and a child that was locked in a cage so he couldn’t kill the livestock kept in the orphanage, and bullied by all the other kids. the orphanage did everything possible to dehumanize atsushi up until they threw him out at 18.

we can’t even be sure his name is atsushi. it’s highly unlikely anyone from the orphanage named him, so did he pick it himself? if so, when, and how? i know the meta reason is he’s named after the author of the same name, but i can’t stop thinking about him. like what the hell.

beloved besties, please rb and tell me in the tags which dndads character from each generation you relate to the most (that is, which of the S1 dads, which of the kiddads, and which of the teens) 💜

[vaugarde]

imagine if instead of having vic mignogna keldeo, we got an iris movie about her relationship with kyurem

[todayisafridaynight]

everyday i constantly think of masato's wheelchair and if that's his only one/main one no wonder he's so pissed at everyone

[zukkaoru]

nikolai and teruko for the hc ask game..?

nikolai

Sexuality Headcanon: i don't think he labels his sexuality bc he doesn't seem like the sort to like labels sfdgfhk the hc i have written down for him in my doc is "silly & fruity" which. is probably about what his answer would be if you asked him his sexuality

Gender Headcanon: same as above; i don't think he labels it beyond "not cis" + along with that, any pronouns nikolai is something that has been rotating in my mind recently

A ship I have with said character: (fyo)nikonathan. thanks to nikonathan ceo louie <3

A BROTP I have with said character: i mean. nikolai and kenji. i did write 22k words about them. also nikolai & sigma! and nikolai & dazai can be so fun as well (emergency number laizai is sooo wonderful omg i love them)

A NOTP I have with said character: i don't think i have any? at least not any that are popular ships lol

A random headcanon: he likes embroidery,, i don't have any real reason for this; it just showed up in my nikolai & kenji fic and i was like. yeah. so true op

General Opinion over said character: he is SO fascinating. i want to study him like a bug i want to dissect his brain i want to put him in a jar and shake him around i want to peel back all of his layers like an onion until his raw core is on display and i want to poke it until he breaks

teruko

Sexuality Headcanon: bi maybe? alloaro perhaps? but probably actually it's "i'm too busy with my job to think about that rn" <- has been saying that for 30+ years

Gender Headcanon: i don't really have one for her

A ship I have with said character: also don't really have any ships for her,, i think she probably had some feelings for fukuchi but i don't Ship them

A BROTP I have with said character: all of the hunting dogs but especially tachihara!! also i think about teruko & sigma in last train home a lot. ALSO also i think she and elise should meet. i want to lock them in a room together just to see what happens

A NOTP I have with said character: all of them? idk like i said i don't really ship her with anyone but also i've only seen maybe one teruko ship so there aren't any popular ones that i actively dislike either

A random headcanon: she gives surprisingly good and wise advice, but only to people she cares about. tachihara is the most frequent recipient of it, but tecchou and jouno and even fukuchi have all found themselves looking to her for help when they need it. however, she usually has to (lovingly) bully them before she says anything helpful

General Opinion over said character: she's a queen. an icon. she probably gets unfounded hate bc she's a female character which means i have to love her even more out of spite. "annoying" female characters i still love you even when the fandom doesn't <333

[raining-its-pouring]

Rereading Moon’s pearl dialogue and it’s all so good. I genuinely don’t get how people think she’s boring she’s so expressive in them.

[gifti3]

Im in such an obey me mood today haha

other than "pls dont tell asmo about that",,,, i have questions about these freaking vegetables (im putting under the cut since im talking about food and bad eating habits/diet related stuff)

im assuming they would have to be mixed with other regular ingredients to prevent the hunger but it sounds like ppl would use them as the main component in a dish or just eat them by themselves

So does all of it get digested? No leftovers (waste) comes out the other end im guessing? is it like a magic type thing?? it has to be right? Cause if not...ur body will take the calories needed to replace the ones burnt, take the nutrients, and the rest will just get tossed out

And since it doesnt make you full, like wouldnt it be way too easy to overeat this type of thing? so you could accidentally end up making urself go to the restroom more often :/

Ig if it gives u the nutrients u need that itll be useful then. So maybe its a 'heres ur macros for the day' type dealo? but u still have to go eat an actual meal or make sure u mix it with other stuff tho

hands you 🔥

THANK YOU DARLING i will use this opportunity to talk about the black family bc i find that whole situation very strange in this fandom.

people like to use sirius' running away as proof that walburga and orion were abusive parents but has anyone stopped to consider the fact that he ran away bc he simply disagreed with this family's ideals and didn't want to become the heir to a house full of pureblooded supremacist maniacs??? sirius has obvious distain for his parents but kreacher also mentions that walburga was heartbroken when sirius left. heartbroken. what a strange adjective to use for someone who fandom views as a heartless abuser. kreacher didn't say walburga was disappointed or angry that she had lost an heir, she was heartbroken over losing a son. a child. her own flesh and blood. if walburga and orion were actual heartless monsters don't you think they would've disowned sirius the moment he was sorted into gryffindor, among the blood traitors? but they didn't. sirius only gets disowned when he runs away from his duties to his family, which his parents would obviously consider the ultimate betrayal because family is everything to them.

to be clear i don't think the black family was healthy or loving but i don't think it was abusive in the way most fics show. they definitely didn't physically abuse their children or use literal curses to discipline them. if there was abuse it was definitely more emotional, manipulative. the black family kept their children isolated from the wizarding world until they couldn't anymore bc they had to be sent to a boarding school. they taught their children everything at home in their most formative years so that they could indoctrinate them into believing their fairytales. you're of superior blood because you bare our last name and you look like our forefathers. everyone else is beneath you and you aren't to associate with filth that doesn't acknowledge our superiority over them. that kind of thing that permanently damages a child's view of the world and their relationships to those outside their family (bc as we're well aware, the blacks were very much into keeping it in the family).

i'll mostly talk about the main black family here because i still have conflicting thoughts about the black sisters and their parents but i think walburga genuinely loved her children. especially sirius who was by all means the perfect heir (up until his years at hogwarts), he was sociable, talented, smart, powerful and above all confident and so so full of himself. he embodies the traits that make what the black family superior to others. regulus more or less is the opposite of his brother so there's room for more conflicting thoughts there. he isn't mentioned as particularly good in school or popular or liked at all. sirius calls him naive for believing their parents' stories and blood mania but that naïveté probably extended to other areas as well. he had a literal shrine on his wall devoted to voldemort (it you needed any more proof of how much of a loser he canonically is shsjsj). orion seems to be pretty detached (which is completely normal for the time like we're talking about 60s/70s parenting. fathers were mostly absent), he was likely more of a mentor for sirius if anything. teaching him how to handle the black family fortune and all that. i think walburga played a bigger role in their upbringing considering that was what was expected of her as a woman. she was likely their tutor before they started school, i doubt the black family would let anyone else teach their children.

i have a Lot more thoughts about them. i've talked about why i actually like walburga and how different i see the black brothers dynamic being from what we usually see in fanon in other posts. i don't think i can ever actually explain well enough how i imagine them though </3
