#im so confused rn but also thankful that i have a lot of options rn... if i was a bad student my parents would have married me off

[indiangp]

I could just enroll into this cheaper but okayish college's BCom program and prepare for ipmat again so that way it's an acceptable outcome either way but that would mean staying home at Jaipur for another year 😕

I wanna know if you have any thoughts on Valka and Sroicks parenting and how that affects hiccup? Because I'm loving so much of your content rn, especially your drawings!! But when I see stuff like Tgirl Hiccup while I think they would be supportive, I don't think they would be ... the best because their not really the best. Like ofc they tried even Val when she came back, but it doesn't and won't ever make up for everything else it's so complicated, and nuisanced would love to hear your thoughts!!

Im going to break this post into addressing stoick and valka separately because valka is such a non-entity in hiccup and stoick’s familial life. valka’s section will be underneath the ‘read more’

But I definitely agree! Unfortunately for Hiccup (and also not to project ijbol), it’s so hard because stoick’s best isn’t enough. Oh, stoick tries! He tries so hard — between the movies and the shows, he so clearly cares for his son. But he can never be just Hiccup’s dad; Stoick is the Chief of Berk before he’s Hiccup’s father, and both he and Hiccup know that. Hiccup grows up self sufficient and is used to a lonely home. The kind of free reign that he gets (and the resulting knee-jerk reaction he has to any kind of responsibility after 15 years of said free reign) doesn’t make for great conditions to cultivate a healthy, loving, traditional parental relationship

Still — i think stoick is more supportive than we give him credit for, at least going off the RoB/DoB characterizations. (Again, I haven’t finished watching RTTE, so Im not gonna speak for anything there.) When Hiccup makes moves for more freedom and responsibility, even as early as s01e01 “How to Start a Dragon Academy”, Stoick works with Hiccup to grant him that freedom. He makes attempts to connect to his son, albeit misguided and inevitably circling back to his own interests/role as the chief of Berk and not just Hiccup’s dad. For example, s01e07 “How to Pick your Dragon” shows Stoick ending up listening to Hiccup about getting a dragon, even though he mostly gets a dragon because it further suits his interests as a chief, which he realizes on the flight Toothless and Hiccup take him on. Which also leads to the core conflict of the episode! Because Stoick’s attempts to understand Hiccup are ultimately rooted in his own narrow perception of the world, that there is a Right way and Wrong way to do things, and Hiccup’s way is most definitely not the right way.

But Stoick listens. Over time, he picks up the signs when his child is frustrated and genuinely asks how he can help (s02e15 “A Tale of Two Dragons” 3 options talk). And after the events of the first movie, Stoick makes more attempts to involve Hiccup in his going-ons, such as the portrait of the chief’s family or contacting Johann to find a beloved childhood plushie. So i think stoick tries, and his best isn’t enough, so thank god hiccup isn’t dependent on only stoick and the both of them know this. And just because the both of them know this doesn’t mean that stoick doesn’t try to improve their relationship at all. In the end, he’s just really set in his own ways and his own traditions.

So in a world where Hiccup is trans, I do think Stoick is supportive no matter what direction Hiccup ends up going. Is he confused? Yes, always, because there isn’t a very established tradition even if Berk does have a history of trans folk. I think stoick has to try really really hard, and he messes up a lot in the beginning. Like, you know when your parents are trans affirming in a really weird and even insulting way? That happens a lot for Hiccup and Stoick. But they work together and Stoick works to try and get on Hiccup’s level, whether that means sending terror-mail to Johann to inquire about trans literature or gender-affirming clothes or dialing Gothi to move Hiccup’s t/e prescription to the front of the line.

……..argh, Valka.

Of course Valka tried when she came back, but the conscious decision to stay away for twenty years and miss some of the most important milestones in your child’s life says a lot, and I think Hiccup also knows that. Especially because of how similar they are, even though Valka would immediately accept and adore and absolutely love Hiccup and all his Hiccup-ness right off the bat… I think he’s aware of how different and better his life could’ve been with Valka’s understanding presence. In the end, one parent stayed and tried their best. And one didn’t really try at all, not until they reconnected again.

And like! I dont think Valka and Hiccup would ever be as close as Stoick and Hiccup were. Like it is one thing to idolize your parent in absentia and build up this idealistic wholesome perfect image of who they are, getting your characterization from their partner who never got over them even after 20 years. And it is another thing to meet that parent and realize… wow! They also don’t measure up to what I needed them to be as a child.

And so for all of Valka’s understanding, for all of the easiness it is for Valka to understand Hiccup, especially in a world where Hiccup is trans — it’s not Valka who had to deal with the bureaucracy of Hiccup’s gender change, nor aided in the social transition for people Hiccup has spent his entire life with. It’s not Valka who asked uncertain, blunt and somewhat invasive questions about Hiccup’s new identity, or found weird and strange ways to support it. It’s not Valka who would’ve gotten an entirely new wardrobe commissioned or talked to Gothi about medical transition.

Like, I think Valka tries, and it’s easy for her to understand the idea and support Hiccup. But i dont think she’d ever be Hiccup’s first choice when it comes to questions about who s/he is, not when there are people who stayed and tried much harder than her, and know far more about Hiccup than she ever did and maybe will.

How are you feeling rn? Exhausted/drained, confused, pressurised or any other way? If not this, and you’re happy, relaxed, etc. then also great😂obv😌 im not ‘hoping’ for you to feel that 1st way (if it came off like that😅). Just making assumptions… you can share n go into the details if u want to.. also, you don’t have to share, go into the details or respond, if u want to (or writing appreciation msgs in general lol, u write them a lot) You have both the options.

If you’ve enjoyed, had fun, made memories till now, don’t think sadly about it. Be positive & try to continue it all while you’re young & have the time. Adulthood is coming for us all❄️☠️You have no obligations, apart from whichever you think you have. Just felt like writing this. (I’m so jealous of other anons’ checking up msg😒 hehe :P)

-🐻

I am feeling alright, just a little tired. Thank you for the advice and for asking! Your line about making memories "while you're young" reminds me of a little old lady (I say this positively). It is funny: I reckon you cannot be much older than I, right? How have you been faring?

Why do you feel jealous of the other anons sending those kinds of messages? I don't want you to feel that you must change to be more similar for a superficial reason. You are valued just as you are, if my opinion holds any weight.

Hello! You mentioned looking for more info about labels and stuff, so, if you're interested, here are a few things we've personally learned from several years as a "Origins Are Weird And Confusing" system who has been in therapy for A While at this point, in case they're useful to you: - you deserve whatever support you need, regardless of origin or dx or anything else. Therapy, friends who listen to you and support you, academic or workplace accommodations, the right to be unhappy and having a shitty time--you don't have to prove anything to be allowed to want/have those things. - trauma is a subjective experience about how your brain processed something difficult--not about whether the events were 'objectively bad enough to count', because there is no externally defined threshold. (There are certain types of negative experiences that are statistically very likely to be traumatic to the average person, but that absolutely does not mean that only those types of experiences "count".) - if you are experiencing lasting negative impacts from something that happened to you, 1) there is nothing you need to prove in order to be 'allowed' to get support for it; 2) anyone telling you that it wasn't bad enough to affect you is wrong. (This is true even in contexts completely unrelated to syscourse, btw!) - DID in specific is predominantly associated with chronic trauma/adverse experiences during childhood. However, if you have struggles with mental health issues and feel like a system, your options are not just either "100% Definitely DID" or "You're Making It All Up". Whether the label that happens to fit you and your experiences best is DID or any other label (OSDD, MaDD, PTSD + system, "stuff is shitty rn" + system, "who even knows", etc.) is between yourselves and the people on your support team--it's not the business of internet discourse randos trying to tell you whether or not you're valid. (Besides, figuring out what labels fit you best often isn't actually easy or obvious right away, for any number of reasons--including the fact that sketchy and/or 'muted' memories of awful experiences is a big part of many CDDs--and that's okay. Really. You get to figure stuff out at your own pace.) - you are allowed to use/benefit from CDD management strategies and ways of thinking whether or not you have one. (People without ADHD can use bullet journals. DBT isn't just for people with BPD. Etc. If it helps you, the important part is that it helps you.) - don't let the haters get you down. (There are folks out there in syscourse with complex and nuanced opinions, legitimate critiques of communities, etc.! And also, there are sometimes people who just want to be 'allowed' to feel hateful towards someone, aren't in good faith, and aren't interested in listening. What those people think of you or say about you Does. Not. Matter. They are howling at the moon.)

Good luck out there <3

thank you so so so so so much for the kind words!! i preach all of the same things yet sometimes its hard to believe it for yourself, so i genuinely really appreciate the reassurance.

i am looking for a label as of currently because i dont really know whats what, yknow?? its hard for someone like me because despite preaching all of those things, i struggle to understand what defines trauma!

a lot of my headmates tend to agree we do have trauma, but those who dont tend to feel very strongly about not, so it kinda pushes that positivity away!

it really sucks to be both your own supporter and your own enemy at the same time (not calling my headmates enemies its just the best way i can describe it)!

the vents i post are usually when im feeling fired up or upset over things, and again, for that post/ rant i had earlier i spread misinfo, which i feel HORRIBLE about, but i will keep the post up because someone else made a point on it and had the patience to help educate me!

i am still learning and alla that, its hard to navigate this community because theres so many terms, and due to general amnesia, whether it be the fact im a system or due to my ADHD, its hard to get a grasp on all of those!

anyways, sorry for the ramble and thank you so much for the kind words! i hope you have an amazing day ❤️

[shwarmii]

uhhhhh wow that'a a lot of votes. i thought id be lucky to get 20 within the week. okay

(1) i wont out the youtuber bc they have a somewhat small following of under 1 million and, seeing how i severely underestimated this poll's turn-out, uhhhhhhhh, not going to even chance a comment-section deviation on their video. part of why i made this poll was because nobody had commented on the youtuber's pronounciation.... but they had said "Bob-o", i will admit that. i had said [redacted pronounciation] in my tags bc i didnt wanna sway shit but aT 3K+ VOTES IN 13 HOURS, I THINK I WON'T SWAY A GODDAMN ONE OF YOU, JFC, thanks for the sample size

(2) "Boo-boo" (like a ghost's "boo" ×2; or like a kid's ouchie) is very valid, i very much regret not thinking of it to include here

(2.5) i have never seen it spelled as "Booboo the fool" but i believe you; and if you said that's the og form of the meme, i can believe that too. ive just only seen "Bobo", personally, but, again, i believe you. im no expert on memes, hence, the poll of my ignorance. it is entirely possible i have been seeing off-shoot memes of "Booboo" shortened to "Bobo"

(2.5 edit ×2) ive now been shown "Booboo" memes and the meme wiki, so i have no explanation for why i have only seen the "Bobo" variations here on our hellish www.tumblr.com; but it def feels like ive been shown real Oreos after eating Fake/Healthy/Off Brand-Oreos all my life, wowza. i believed you guys before but now i too am confused why ive only see "Bobo" off-shoots. huh. wondered how that happened. regardless, then id expect "fourth pronounciation" to be higher than since "Boo-boo" (like a ghost's "boo" ×2; or a kid's ouchie) doesn't sound like "Bo-bo" (like "bow and arrow" with "bow" ×2) since as of rn (19 September 2023, 3:30 PM PST) "Bo-bo" is in the lead at 72% whereas "a fourth pronounciation" is at 18%... or is Booboo The Fool still pronounced like "Bo-bo" ("bow and arrow", "bow" ×2) and isnt pronounced phoentically like "Boo-boo" (ghost's "boo" ×2; or like a kid's ouchie) like i assumed?? idk. anything can change within a week and we aren't even 24 hours in yet

(3) i say "Bo-bo", but i think all ways are fine. "Boo-boo" is especially valid. i think its funnier if you can floor me into doing a spit-take like that youtuber with their "Bob-o the fool" pronounciation; keep at that shit, love that for you. but also i do admittingly feel really validated with "Bo-bo" being in the lead. idk how many of you are true "Bo-bo"s and how many of you are "Boo-boo"s doing the closest thing instead of picking "a fourth and secret option" (fair enough, they are def the sibling-pronounciations as opposed to the all the other variations), but i accept you into this camp anyway, hello, have a cupcake

(4) "Bow-bow" (kind of like a dog barking, but just the first half of "bow-wow") is fucking wild, i love it, hearing that would make me choke on my water for sure. wish i had thought to add you guys too, jfc

(5) the people saying "Boh-boh" need to give me an example to help me differentiate it from the "Bo-bo" (like "bow and arrow" but "bow" ×2) camp bc my ass can only see "Boh" pronounced like "Bo"

(5 edit) thank you, someone explained it was like "bowing" to someone which means it has a soft "h" and no hard "w". valid

(6 edit) i made a new, more inclusive poll variation if anybody prefers to vote over there instead lmao youre good to stay here if you want, or vote on both, idk, again, im not your parents lmao

(7 edit) thank you to the people correcting me this is not a meme (a meme is how it was popularized into breaching contianment; but it itself is not a meme), but is actually AAVE. i am non-Black (im a mixed Indigenous American of multiple tribes and am two-spirited; nonetheless, i am non-Black) and will work on removing and replacing this bit of appropriation out of my vocabulary so as to not alienate any of the irl Black people in my life with my lack of fluency in AAVE. also thank you to the people trying to uncover how the off-shoot of Bobo happened (the two main theories are (1) Bobo was a real-life clown up until the 70s, so its possible that it just a case of crossed wires from this game of telephone i was unknowingly a part of; and (2) the word "bobo" is Spanish and Portuguese and Filipino and some other languages term for "silly", "idiot", and/or "fool", depending, thus making Bobo The Fool into a bit of a Moon Moon which is by itself funny and likely also added to the game of telephone that created the off-shoot i kept experiencing instead of the og meme) obviously, i have no idea how the said off-shoot happened, so who is to say how it did. but your theories prove you are all very clever ♡ thank you all for the education ♡

i just heard one of my favorite youtubers say this meme out loud in a video and the pronounciation FLOORED ME so now i gotta know:

poll is just "which way do you say it"; tags is "which way is right", assuming your answer to "which way is right" is different to "which way do you say it". or i guess tags are also for uhhhhhh if your answer is complicated and if you wanna explain, if you have a diff way of pronouncing (pls tell meeeee), or whatever else you want, im not your parents, idk

[junipaca]

jotting my thoughts on pokemon rejuv so far since im just finished battling hazuki.

likes:

hell yeah more utilization of double battle scenarios. those are my jam and butter i have so much fun calculating who's gonna target who and what the fuck should i go for. I'd like to thank my cinccino and weavile. fakeout helping hand combos so well with my tanky or fast sweeper pokemon.

the field options and crest system are cool as hell. its gen rlly creative and i had to get used to it and use my brain, it throws a wrench in usual pokemon play and style. it also lifts some underutilized pokemon! its manageable though. and the boss battles were gen rlly cool! rift pokemon my beloved. rlly hard in the beginning but i learned to cheese it eventually (curse + leech seed + whirlpool + toxic with corrosion)

the difficulty i think is spiked p well, its good enough that you aren't out of options, almost never, but you got to use your head around certain teams and foes. EV training is a MUST, luckily there are EV training centers. i hate IV hunting so i used the password for full 31 IVs all the way . you also need some basis of pokemon competitive i'd say.

speaking of passwords those are gen rlly nice to use, saves some time. i got a remote pc with me and that saves like 50% of the handling when preparing for a boss battle.

the aevian forms are so cool. my fav has been probably chandelure and leavanny so far but i just caught a feebas so who knows. i also have a gastrodon who's so silly i love that design

god the characters are so nice. i love the individuality of each character presented to the player, and you kind of got to twist one part to get to the other and know why the first part was twisted. that being said, if you asked who my favs are its adam ren and talon. silly dudes. but i also know i would EAT this up in my younger years a lot more. but even now i still adore them. found family is dear and nice, especially well done for a large cast jesus fuck

also worldbuilding. i don't want to say more but woah. good job.

i adore [REDACTED] very dearly and i have to apologize every time i see them. i wish i got to know them more. hopefully more appearances later??????

iffy stuff:

i want to like venam and melia's relationship a lot more than i do now. i think its just uncertainty with their previous known age gap before the time skip? eh.

I'm. very confused about Risa's whole schtick. i don't want to say more than now because spoilers and all. but i think too much information got laid on with that arc that my brain exploded there. wish it was just a bit clarified or so . (also is she 18 or 21??????? the internet and the game confuse me. this matters because i have to know whether to sock dylan or not)

some of the sidequest lines are misleading. they say "go to [here]" and when i go there nothing happens. its only when i search up the issue online is when i find out that i have to do Something Else first. just wish it was more clarified or such? if that makes sense? its like someone told you to go to the field or smth but didn't say you had to talk to the lady at the building first.

honestly i think the story confusions i have now are going to wait until The End of this game because rn it isn't fully complete. i will wait as long as needed until everything releases before i can make a full assessment. like. this has so much work put into this game. for FREE. NOTHING OF COST. like holy shit i can wait forever and ever. i have 130+ hours into this game. i can't believe this is nothing of cost. so a positive note here in this category.

comments:

honestly ive seen a ton of critique towards this game, so i was sort of jumping around trying to assess how hard it was going to be and whether or not i would be actually interested. i'm delighted to say i am. key note: don't listen to reddit when they say "too edgy". i know my edgyness. i i also quite enjoy some of it. i think its a matter of taste.

if you try out this game do have. a lil handful of pokemon experience in terms of speed, sweeping, and tanks. i think some basic knowledge there would go a long way. then again i played normal mode, there is an easier mode if i remember. either way, get ready to strategize.

also rec me more games im almost caught up w everything pretty please i need something to occupy my brain.

[fr3aklike-me]

oh you're welcome!! omg i have the perfect movie for you, hopefully you haven't watched it yet, but watch dazed and confused!! it's about a bunch of teenagers enjoying the first day of summer while partying and smoking a lot of weed lmao, there's no plot just vibes, i loved it!! and it's set in the 70s if im not wrong. it's very good vibes, very hippie, the costumes are chefs kiss too, everything is just great <33 also, booksmart is very fun too!! you've probably already watched that one but yeah, very fun, coming of age, very gay, i loved it. and omg yes, lady bird really hits hard, specially when she called her mom in the end?? god, that part broke me into a million pieces and im still recovering from it 😭 that whole movie is just so real, i felt attacked the whole time. and yeah :(( i forgot how it feels like to be a student again and all that, but it's ok, im sure im gonna be fine!! and omg thank you so much :( have i ever told you that you're literally an angel?? <3 im always here if you wanna talk too!! and omg i still don't know for sure what my classes will be tbh, but i have an idea and if im right then im very excited, hehe. omg christmas is the best time!! i hope you and your family have a great one this year <3 and yes please send me as many kisses as you want!!

- 🫀

WAIT OMG THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT FILM FOR ME. I love films where not much happens, but it still carries themes of friendship, adventure, love, etc. like Before Sunrise! with the season, costumes and entire vibes of the film, it sounds like something I'd love omg. thank you so much! (also, would you be comfortable with me ever using terms of endearment or just any cute names with you? I almost just typed one but wanted to ask first before I did hehe). and same, the movie felt painfully accurate at times -- for me, it was the changing room scene that really struck home. but, the nuance in it is wonderful. and in regards to college, I am so confident you'll do great!! it's definitely an adjustment, but after a little while, you'll feel totally used to it. and asdfghjkl thank you so much, you're so cute and sweet omg. and oooh I'm so excited for you! the freedom of choosing classes is always so much fun bc there are so many good options. thank you so much, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too! giving you kisses on your forehead rn <3

Ask Answers: January 28th, 2021 (Part 1)

And we’re back with many more ask answers! Thank you for waiting.

Is lizzie/the main character tripping over a rock a random event in barbecue? or does it require certain choices? i picked the same choices in multiple different playthroughs but ended up with three different outcomes (1. nothing happens 2. liz trips 3. i trip)

Yep! It’s completely random. Just a little moment of life you don’t have control over, haha.

wait just double checking you stated that derek would be another romantic interest you can pursue in step 4 right??? im just asking cuz hes my fav character 

oh wait and btw i was the one that asked the question about derek being in the step 4 just now, and will you have to pay extra for like a dlc or something bc i play the free version rn and i just wanted to check!! 

Yeah, you will eventually be able to romance him, but unfortunately it is a paid DLC. Cove is the only love interest who’s entirely free-to-play. You can  follow our social media for when we giveaways for a chance to win a key for it, though.

i know that y’all said the step 3 dlc and step 4 will be released early 2021, is there any update to that? for example, a rough amount of days/weeks until release? no pressure at all, i’m super excited!! <3 

The Step 3 DLC will be about in maybe two-two and half months or so. Step 4, we’re not entirely sure. Maybe a few months after the Step 3. We don’t want to give set dates until we’re really close to the release since otherwise we wouldn’t be able to 100% guarantee them.

First off love the game. Second I'm a little confused on how the nsfw dlc is gonna work. Because based on some stuff you've said it sounds like a patreon only thing and others make me think it could be an itch/steam thing after the fact? Would you mind clarifying for me 😅. Also if it's a patreon only thing do you need to become one before it's released? 

It’s not going to be on Steam/Itch. The actual game of Our Life is safe for teens with no adult content. Any 18+ stuff we’re releasing is separate bonus content. Right now the only for sure plan is having it available through Patreon. If there’s another hosting site that’s not Steam or Itch that’d be easier for people than Patreon we might consider uploading it there too, but nothing else is set.

If you want the bonus Moment you’d have to join once it’s already out or sometime after the release. Joining now would get you our current rewards, but wouldn’t get you future content that’s coming later.

this is probably an awkward question and i apologize, feel free not to answer, but i just wanted to address the elephant in the room....will step 4 acknowledge covid/2020 world events?? i kind of hope not bc i'd like to just exist in a fictional version of the world where things are happy in this quaint seaside town and the world isn't falling apart, but i'd understand if there are some references to it. just thought i'd ask so i can Prepare if that makes sense

Step 4 isn’t going to include Covid or even reference it. When we set Step 4 in that year we definitely didn’t know there’d be a global pandemic during it. It’s too late to move the timeframe earlier or later, but we’re not going to make Step 4 stressful for anyone because the real world became so much more stressful. The universe of Our Life will just be an even more idealized place than it was before.

hiiiii! i'm really sorry if this is a bother. i was just curious if cove has a canon setting for each step, like is it canon that he stays candid the whole game and is super sporty for instance and the rest are variations? thank you for your time!

None of those settings are canon. They’re all equally valid.

I love the game and Cove so much that I ended up spending most of the holidays playing it. Definitely worth it! Idk if you're taking suggestions/criticisms, but I chose the peach skin tone and seeing it written as "my peach skin" in the game broke immersion for me because I kept thinking it was referring to the fruit instead of my skin color. I think that skin color is most commonly referred to as "fair" but "peachy" or "rosy" would work too if you're looking for a different word 

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’ll change it to “peachy” in the next update!

So I accidentally overwrote a save file with a different one, is there any way I can recover that save? 

Sadly, there isn’t. Not unless you had a backup of the actual save file files in a separate location you can get. I’m really sorry. You can try using the skip feature to quickly speed through the game and get back to where you were though.

Do you try to maintain the color scheme for the clothing throughout the years in Our Life? 

Yes, though in hindsight not as much as I wished I did, haha. It could’ve been a little more cohesive. It was a bit too broad in my opinion.

I noticed that Cliff mentions he wasn’t much older than Cove before finding out he was going to be a father when he finds MC in bed with Cove during Part 3 so doesn’t that Cliff and Kyra were teenage/young parents? 

Yeah, Cliff was nineteen and Kyra was eighteen when Cove was born. They were just a couple of kids.

Does Cove have a favourite holiday? 

It changes depending on the year. Around Step 1 he’s not a huge fan of a lot of holidays because he’s not together with his whole family for them. But once he’s older and Kyra comes around more, he starts appreciating major family holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas more than other holidays because he knows how it feels not to have that. Though summer vacation is of course his most favorite all the time, if that counts as a “holiday”.

I tried to join your patreon but I can’t seem to? The website keeps saying something went wrong and to try again. 

I’m sorry you’re having trouble! I think contacting Patreon support would probably be the best option if the joining process itself is having issues.

How much is it to become a part of your Patreon? I don’t have a lot of money currently but would love to help you out more than just buying the games and dlcs. 

Aw, I appreciate you wanting to support but the Patreon is really optional. You don’t need to push yourself to join if you don’t have extra funds for it. To still answer the question, the tiers are $1, $5, $10, $15, and $20 in USD. Each come with different perks.

I had this idea for a future daughter for the MC and Cove being named "Poppy", after the flowers on their hill~

That’s a really sweet idea! I’m sure Cove would be a fan.

So if you don't mind me asking, how do you get Cove to propose to you in Step 4 and not the other way around? 

I’m afraid that’d be too big of a spoiler to give away before the epilogue’s release, at least in terms of specifics. Generally you’ll just have to be patient and try not to propose first, haha.

will we get to move in with cove in step 4 😮?? or is that a secret 

You can be living together with Cove in Step 4! Though you wouldn’t get to see the place itself. That’s up to your imagination.

Is it bad that I'm completely in love with Cove's dad... What I gotta pay to romance Cliff 😭 (I don't mean as Jamie because that would be wack) 

That’ll cost one million 20 twenty dollar bills, haha. I’m really glad you like him, though sadly we aren’t able to make a separate game where you can romance Cliff. I wish we had enough time to make tons of new scenes/extra stories in the Our Life world, but it just takes too long. Maybe people will make fanworks about it.

in regards to what you pointed out a few posts ago, ngl one of my least favorite fandom things is when they make Kaminari the Har Har Stupid Joking ADHD Bi Playboy Who Is Never Serious Trope. like, he's very smart, 'worst in ___ area of a UA course' is very impressive and I don't remember if it even said that or just that he was studying with some other students, worried about his grades overall, calls himself stupid with implied insecurities about it, and didn't think he was very smart compared to the other people in the course. quirk overuse makes him loopy, incoherent, and think everything's funny. and yeah, he's a bit of a flirt and made a few perverted comments and actions that he clearly didn't think through that well. I'm pretty sure he's not ever stated to be bi in the manga because it was written by a coward, so I think people should think more about why they're associating and pairing together the idea of "hot flirty playboy who if legally able would sleep with everyone he meets" with emphasis or joke in the captions of whatever the content is on him being bi. I don't think this is inherently bad, even put together, but the execution feels kind of :/ and shallow. and I mainly just wish they'd pause to consider if there's any reason (subconscious or intentional) why one of those makes them think about the other, and at the very least lean back to see if they're blatantly making those traits centric around each other and tweak how they're showing them a little. Part of this is also because it's basically his fanon sexuality, but then they stick together "oh he's bi and everyone thinks that" and "he's made flirty or perverted comments and actions in canon at some point" and then mentally exaggerate and have this Canon Image of him as *waves hand at above* and I don't think that's happening consciously in most cases but. again. Cookiecutter Bi Party Playboy Who's Made a Date Offer to Everyone In The Building. not a flirty Person or a Playboy who is bi and flirts with more than one genders

I myself headcanon him as adhd and while the exact sexuality depends on my mood I think of/have him as bi in a lot of my content, but it's the same thing with why non adhd people see how he acts and label "adhd!" Especially about comprehension speed and derpy acting and intelligence and attention span jokes/tropes. Again, not bad in and of itself, but the specific parts of his behavior that make them think he's adhd, or that they start making jokes about or Ha Ha ADHD'ing, or that they think is why we project ADHD on him, (which they aren't necessarily wrong about, but like right in a really disrespectful look at how funny this is oh look squirrel way that's only funny when adhd people are doing it and it isn't all mocking like that) when they see other people calling him adhd, are the wrong ones, I think, and it shows in their characterization of him.

I'm not saying that any of those traits are bad in a character, but as a queer adhd girl with very high annual test scores and Gifted Kid Intelligence but extremely poor grades, focus, and brain damage (admittedly nothing like his, it was a longterm passive thing that mainly just made me have a Lot of Really Bad headaches, and closest thing it did to me was make me sluggish and emotional on bad days and also techincally have the potential kill my language bit if left untreated or the surgery messed up, which it didn't, and it won't be a problem again. but even after explaining that it wasn't cancer or any sort of tumor, and after seeing it do very little at all to affect my behavior outside of irritability and performance, because y'know, constant migraines, gone after the surgery but this was before that, Certain People I Was Vaguely Kind Of Acquaintances With started to treat my like I was a fragile glass thing going to to drop dead and revive myself speaking like a comic relief cartoon crazy person at any moment which was. patronizing.) I've since had surgery for, the way the fandom combines them into stereotypes and portrays them really just rubs me the wrong way- "Flirty Bi(tm) Playboy" "Har Har ADHD Can't Focus Or Get Things After They're Explained To Him, He's Still Confused And An Idiot" "Stupid Person With Brain Damage Who Can't Take Care Of Or Think For Themself And Acts Stupid And Funny For People To Laugh At" which tbh is super ableist even and especially when people irl do fit that description, and also reminds me of the Autistic Person Freaking Out And Being Dramatic sense of humor. And I know it's not helped by canon, because it done for comic relief and to limit his powers, but explored more I think it as a limitation could have been used way more interestingly than canon did and also call me biased but that quirk induced brain frying sounds at least as concerning as Izuku's quirk's backlash.

And it's a shame!! Because he's so much more interesting than that! Instead, the fandom gives me the Cookicutter Funny Bi ADHD Flirt Who's An Idiot and I am sad about it.

tbh it reminds me of what happened to percy jackson, esp with the ADHD Idiot Trope thing. which sucks because apparently it originated in the author making up stories around characters like his adhd and dyslexic kid inspired by Greek myths to tell him after running out of actual myths because it was his special interest and he wanted more. and then the series got kind of all over the place and the fandom processed that the adhd and dyslexic main character who does dumb things sometimes but is very combat smart and great at strategizing and leading gets bad grades and has trouble focusing and has, y'know, adhd, and made him the ADHD Idiot and erased his Gifted Kid girl friend's traits and ADHD and dyslexia into No Nonsense Calls Him an Idiot And Thinks He's Stupid And Has To Tell Him What To Do And Manage His Life For Him and honestly that just kind of sucks and it reminds me of what happened to fandom Kaminari. and now that I think of it people have jirou like that around him a lot too.

im fine with you answering this publicly if you want or have something to add but probably tag as ableism and maybe a biphobia mention content warning for people who don't have the energy to deal with thinking about those kinds of negative things rn because I kind of Went Off About It

I love this! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences 💚(and double thank you for tag suggestions)💚

I couldn’t agree more that a lot of fandom has messed up Kami’s character, which is why I’ve kinda been posting more about him cause he’s just stuck in my head.

I think a lot of fandoms have trouble with characters like this, people have a hard time with duality in characters and fast/fun posts are easier to make if you flatten a character down.

The did it to Kami, they did it to Percy, they did it to Ron Weasley, they do it to Thor, the list goes on. If being the Smart One ™️ isn’t your thing and you can be goofy than you get pigeonholed into the idiot trope.

I feel for Kami a lot(probably because I have adhd/brain damage too)

It sucks when you’re smart but it’s not the traditional, measurable kind of smart(even if by national comparison Kami technically is).

I got terrible grades growing up, and I pretty much got the absolute lowest gpa you can get and still graduate. But absolutely no one would have known if I didn’t tell them, because I’m not dumb.

(It’s okay if you are “dumb”, I love me a head empty just vibes friend. You’re 100% valid, stil worthy of joining discussions, and should be listened to and taken seriously. This just isn’t about that tho)

I joke sometimes that I’m clever and witty but not smart, because that’s exactly what it feels like.

I have lots of thoughts and ideas that I think I articulate pretty well, I am excellent at finding the humor in things and expressing it in a way that’s funny to others too, and there is almost zero problems I can’t find a work around. And the people in my life love it, and they love to use it.

But eventually everyone in my life finds out that I’m not smart. They see the way I have to pause to Google how to calculate a tip, that I don’t know the name of all 50 states or even where to find them on a map, or I legitimately just can not spell (if you ever see a post where it looks like I used a weird word choice it’s probably because I tried 4 times and autocorrect+Google couldn’t help me and voice to text wasn’t an option)

No one ever questions my intelligence until they find out about my adhd and/or catch me struggling with it. After the mask comes off it’s like they can’t even hear me anymore, nothing I say could be true or matter because I’m now just the goofy accident prone spacy girl. My family literally calls me Spacy

And ya know what sometimes I just let people think that because it’s easier, it’s easier than explaining that I’m dyslexic and that I didn’t have a single geography/history clas until 10th grade and shocker the capital of Iowa doesn’t come up much by then. And it’s easier for me to laugh off losing my keys again than dwell on the fact that sometimes it feels like I’m losing my marbles.

And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if after this post I get a lot more “fact checkers” and push back on anything else I post.(not talking about people who want to genuinely engage,y’all are always welcome, I’m talking those people who don’t wanna look it up themselves but no longer trust me to know what I’m talking about)

Kami is a sweet brilliant boy. He’s in a nationally high ranking school, he loves the weather channel, he’s careful about his quirk that could easily hurt his friends in combat, he has a very high emotional intelligence level, he wears dorky shirts with electricity puns on them, and he pays attention to his friends and remembers a lot of little things about them.

He wants to be a hero and he takes that seriously, and the series has tried time and time again to tell y’all that smiling and laughter are an important part of that. Kami excels at this part! So what if his history grades don’t rival the top of the class, the top 5 students would struggle hard to do what Kami does.

Iida can’t relax, Momos rather shy, Todo struggles with social cues, Midoriya is canonically not funny, and jfc where to even begin with Katsuki. I’m certain they’ll all grow up to be excellent heros in their own right, but none of them are going to bring the level of joy and camaraderie that Denki can. You can’t test that into someone.

Kami also just notices people differently and has any easy way of joining in with them, he doesn’t struggle approaching Katsuki or Shinso. Sure he doesn’t hit the the nail on the head the same way Deku does but he’s the only one who has the guts and skills to try. Also he’s not that kinda friend, he’s not looking to a save these guys but pal around with them

I think Kami 100% realizes what a special case and tough nut to crack Bakugo is, I don’t think he’s just careless or too dumb realize his life’s at stake or whatever.

I think he’s purposely testing Bakugos boundaries all while trying to not be a threat to Katsukis actual ego and calling Bakugo out when he needs it in a way that not to serious. Kami knows how to be just goofy enough that he’s approachable. He’s also keyed in that the way to Bakugo is through Deku, meanwhile everyone else is stuck believing the opposite.

Kami also realized how important music is to Jiro and saw an opportunity to let her display her skills and combin the two worlds she lives, and he wasn’t afraid to get some back lash from her for it.

Like Deku Kami isn’t afraid to be uncomfortable. You really can’t teach that level of social ease, you can teach the posture and feed people a couple of lines but it’ll never hit the same. Funny approachable people have spent a lifetime learning the craft, usually out of necessity.

It’s actually what gives me the biggest adhd vibes from him, because adhd is (speculated to be) a dopamine deficiency disorder. People with adhd are constantly trying to raise their dopamine levels, and that means looking for praise and reward and nothing makes the human brain light up faster than postative human connections.

Adhd children struggle a lot with connecting with peers and often find making people laugh a fast way into people’s circles and makes it more likely people will overlook being interrupted or spaced out on.

Also adhd people are pretty much forced by their own brain structures to be genuine in all they do, low dopamine levels make it very hard to do things you don’t enjoy because there no promise of dopamine from the activity and you don’t have enough to spare, plus impulsiveness makes it really hard to not show when you do or don’t enjoy something.

I agree that Kami is also painted as overly perverted at times, he’s a little flirty but in a fun casual way but it’s not the foundation of his personality and it’s really mellowed out over the course of the series.

And while I subscribe to the bi hc from his interactions with Jiro and Shinso, we should all be very mindful that we don’t lump these characteristics together. The are separate facets of his personality that are not dependent on each other in anyway.

Kami deserves all the respect and love, I can’t wait to see our electric king again 🖤⚡️🖤

Everybody: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JEFF. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

Jeff: *under his blanket and pillows* Guys. I’m old now. Let me sleeep.

Zane: Wakey wakey baby

Toddy & Zane: *throws the ice water on Jeff*

Jeff: WHHAT THE FUCK

*Everybody runs out of the room laughing*

Jeff: So now that I’m awake, are we all gonna snowboard today?

Y/n: I can’t, so I’m just gonna stay here.

Carly: Erin, Corinna and I will stay back with her.

Y/n: Great, people are feeling sorry for the pregnant girl.

Corinna: Not true. I also hate the cold and I don’t wanna fall down a hill.

Jeff: Okay cool. We’re gonna leave in 20 and y/n, call me if anything happens.

Night time

David: I know we already sung it this morning but-

Everybody: HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR JEFF. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.

Jeff: I just like to say thank you so much guys. I know that I’ve been such an asshole the past couple weeks but now that I’m 30 and we’re entering  a new decade in like two or so weeks, I want to make things right and also I’m going to be a father to two little girls. Y/n I know of personally apologize to you already but I just wanna say in front of everybody here. I am so sorry for everything I have done to you. I will admit, I am scared to become a dad, I will protect you and the girls with my life. And thanks to everybody that came here. This friend group has changed my life for the better.

Zane: Can we stop with this sappy shit and eat some caaake.

David: *vlogging* VARDON THROW THE CAKE

Jeff: wait what

Vardon: *throws the cake*

Jeff: *dodges the cake*

*little cake fight happens in the kitchen*

David: hey y/n, can I talk to you?

Y/n: Sure..

David: I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for how I acted yesterday. After hearing what Jeff said and the way you looked at him, I’m guessing you’re still probably in love w/ him.

Y/n: ummm…

David: I don’t blame you. He is the father of your kids and he most likely still has feelings for you too. Can we just move on and be friends again?

Y/n: I’d like that very much.

*after Jeff gets cleaned up*

Jeff: What did David say to you?

Y/n: that he wanted to move on and be friends again. So now, I’m officially single.

Jeff: So does that mean I can win you back?

Y/n: woah woah woah, slow down there Wittek. You're still on a trial run.

Jeff: Is there anything I can do on this trial run to make me a lifetime member?

Y/n: *getting horny* Maybe… I mean, technically you’re already a lifetime member. I’m pregnant w/ your kids.

Jeff: Sooo… I’m not crossing any lines if I do this? *pushes y/n down gently on the bed and hovers over her*

Y/n: Ummmm….. no.

Jeff: I bet your tits have gotten a lot bigger since I saw them last. I’ll only continue if you’re okay with this

Y/n: *smiling shyly* Oh gosh yes. Please continue

Jeff: *takes off y/n’s shirt* Wow, no bra? Were you planning this? *smirks*

Y/n: No but this better fucking happen because I’m gonna beat you if it doesn’t. My tits have gotten so sore since I got pregnant.

Jeff: *sucks of the right nipple and massages the left* Mmm, they taste sweeter from what I remember.

Y/n: *moans* Mmmm.. fuuuck. Daddy you can suck on my tits all you want.

Jeff: *laughs* Daddy? Someone’s got a daddy kink now?

Y/n: Oh shut up. Let’s be honest, you had a breeding kink before because you always loved cumming inside me before I got pregnant.

Jeff: touché… and I still will cum inside you at the end. I like to finish what I started babe *winks*

Y/n: You kinky whore.

*pulls Jeff in for a needy kiss*

Jeff: *takes off your leggings* Damn babe no underwear too? You were definitely planning this.

Y/n: *getting impatient* Jeff please eat me out.

Jeff: No problem. *kisses his way down to your pussy and his warm tongue licks from your entrance up to your clit.*

Y/n: Oh my god pleease don’t tease me Jeff.

Jeff: Anything for my queen *slowly circles his tongue around your clit* I love how you were always wet for me. *eats you out*

Y/n: *cries out in pleasure* I’m trying so hard not to cum so early.

Jeff: Cum anytime you want baby.

Y/n: Oh GOD I’M CUMMING.

Jeff: *fingers her and sucks on clit*

Y/n: *trembling* mmm I feel like I’m still cumming.

Jeff: You ready?

Y/n: *smirks* I’m always ready for you.

Jeff: You’re making it hard to be gentle w/ you cause I wanna fuck you so damn rough, but I don’t want to hurt you. And you also won’t be able to walk normally..

Y/n: And who says I want it gentle? *winks*

Jeff: You’re gonna be the death of me doll.    

Y/n: *gets on her knees & unzips his pants* I’ve missed your cock so much daddy. *You suck the pre-cum* It’s bigger than I remember.

Jeff: You’re daddy’s little pregnant whore aren’t you?

Y/n: I’ll always be your whore, cum slut, doll, you name it. *licks from the base of his cock to the tip* No one can suck like I can. *You hollow your cheeks so you can suck off as much as you can. His cock hits the back out your throat; you start to deepthroat Jeff*

Jeff: *grabs y/n’s hair & bucks his hips* Only daddy can fuck your mouth, cum inside you and get you pregnant, you got that?

Y/n: Of course. I’ll always take your cum.

Jeff: Get on the bed. On all fours.

Y/n: *Gets on the bed* Just fuck me rough daddy.

Jeff: *slams cock into y/n, gives her a bit to adjust* What’d say doll? *slams it into her again*

Y/n: Jesus fuck. I’ve missed you so much. No one can fuck me like you can.

Jeff: I remember you liked it when daddy fucked your ass doll. Remember?

Y/n: *trembling* Please fuck my ass and then my pussy*

Jeff: *slowly pushes cock into her* FUCK. Shit I almost feel like cumming rn.

Y/n: Fuuuuck me- too. SHIT oh MY UGH. I haven’t done anal in so long.

Jeff: *goes faster* oh fuckk… Your ass feels so amazing.

Y/n: *being a moaning mess* Cum inside my ass Jeff!

Jeff: Don’t worry doll. I’ll cum in both. *goes faster* Fucking SHIT. Sss-o ttight *cums inside y/n*

Y/n: *screams into pillow* SHIT SHIT SHIT IM CUMMING.

Jeff: *Quickly pulls out of ass and fucks her pussy* I’m still rock hard for you baby

Y/n: *Has 3rd orgasm right after the 2nd* Jefff!

Jeff: *cums inside her* Jesus.

*both are sweaty messes wrapped in the blanket*

Y/n: *cuddles with Jeff* Well that was-

Jeff: Kinky-er than usual. I didn’t think I liked to be called daddy.

Y/n: *laughing* Oh god don’t remind me.

Jeff: I’m gonna take a shower, wanna join?

Y/n: What, so you can make me cum for a 4th time tonight?

Jeff: No you little nasty. We’re sweaty and gross. We gotta wash off our sins.

Y/n: *gets out of bed and tries to stand up*

Jeff: I told you you won’t be able to walk.

Y/n: Oh shut up and help me.

The next morning

Y/n & Jeff: *wakes up at y/n’s phone ringing*

Y/n: It’s my doctor. *picks up the phone and puts it on speaker*

Doctor: Good morning y/n, how are you feeling?

Y/n: I’m feeling great.

Doctor: Well that’s good. Is there time for you and Jeff to come by my office today?

Y/n: *confused* Umm no. We’re out of town and won’t be home for another 2-3 days. Is there something wrong? You can just tell it to us over the phone.

Doctor: Well… Okay. The only thing that came up in both of your test results was that you and Jeff are carriers of a mutation of the GJB2 gene. Normally, that gene has a protein that plays an important role in the development of the cochlea, which is in our ears.

Jeff: Can you please get to the point.

Doctor: So because you both are carriers of the mutation of the gene, there’s a chance that one or both of your girls will be born partially or completely deaf.

Y/n: Wh-what?

Jeff: Is there no way in knowing if they are beforehand?

Doctor: The only way in knowing is doing a hearing test on both girls when they’re born. If one or both are born deaf, there’s options like the cochlear implant. I’ve seen this used on babies as young as 5-6 months old but that’s in the UK. Here in the states, babies would have to be at least a year old. Just remember that I’m saying there’s a CHANCE. I’m not saying that they will be born deaf.

Y/n: Ooo-kay. Th-thanks for calling. *Hangs up the phone* D-deaf? Our girls are gonna be born deaf?

Jeff: *holds y/n* Hey hey hey, she said there’s a chance. Since there’s a chance, we gotta be prepared. We gotta do our research and see what the best options are. We might also have to learn sign language and also teach them. Y/n I know you’re terrified and I am too but we have to look at the bright side.

Y/n: And that is?

Jeff: That we’re gonna have 2 beautiful baby girls.

Y/n: *smiles weakly* Should we tell the rest of them?

Jeff: Let’s wait a bit until we tell them.

Y/n: Okay.

Ummm… Yeah so that happened… Don’t say I didn’t warn y’all in the last chapter. Jeff is really stepping up after only a few days. What do y’all think of my little plot twist at the end? Also, Jeff still hasn’t told his parents! How do you think they’ll react.

[mychemicalraymance]

hey! i saw ur post about going to art school for painting and i was wondering if you maybe had any tips for applying/portfolios/etc? im planning on transferring over for illustration in a year/ 2 but basically all of the people I know who went to art school are instructors who went like... 15-20 years ago. i totally understand if you want to keep college/school stuff private though. (also btw I love your art! I've been in a rut and your stuff has really got me motivated to experiment more :) ✨

hey!! thank you <3 yes i love to tell people things. ok so it sounds like you know where you’re going but for the sake of posterity i will include a tip for looking for the right school; look at both the instructors and the students that they produce. if you don’t like both the work of the instructors youre going to be working with and the work of their students then it’s not gonna be a wise investment imo. the 2 most important pieces of picking a school are 1 what you’ll learn and 2 the resources you’ll have in order to learn. aside from like where you’ll need to be like geographically lol. OKAY. now for applying. 

when you’re building a portfolio - again look at the work of current students/teachers. don’t copy or like build your work off of theirs, but like try to seek out the type of vibe at the school and tailor your portfolio to the “taste” of the school if you can. that sounds evil but it’s how applications are successful tbh. (and when i say tailor i dont mean like make works that you are not passionate about in order to fit what they want, i mean include works that match the tone and cut works that dont). on the note of tailoring. a resume/cv or written work for the application - MAKE SURE that you are specific to the school!! and correct. check for grammar and correct names. if you’re applying to a school that has a big illustration department, write about values of yours that align with having a career in illustration, or show that you know about the school. (don’t lie, prioritize). if you have the wrong name of a school in your app for example, that is something people reviewing will notice and definitely not like. just pay extra care to individualizing every part of the app to the school if you can. 

more portfolio stuff: i would say go to national portfolio day but i doubt there will be one any time soon :( but if there is. go to it. npd is a big basically convention where representatives from schools will allow you to come and show your work and ask how to use it for applying to that school. basically doing the leg work when youre feeling out the “vibe” of the school. a question i had a lot was is this school looking for a portfolio with lots of mimetic (basically “”realistic”” ) pieces/studies? some yes, some no. it all just depends really. in place of this, see if you can set up a one on one meeting. i had a couple of those in person, which is a luxury tbh, but my parents helped me go on campus tours and once or twice the schools allowed me to meet with the admissions people and ask what they thought of my portfolio. rn is a time where you can have a zoom meeting and do that, so ask and see if that’s an option. 

when youre building a portfolio also, try and make it cohesive, even if a school asks for versatility/ studies. it shows a good graphic sense. and just try and consciously, ahead of time, build it in such a way. 

and since you are applying later on than freshman year, i assume, the standards will be higher than an incoming freshman. so i would say especially ask for feedback from admissions. an illustration portfolio should generally show versatility AND cohesiveness, and a GOOD GRAPHIC SENSE. but versatility for illustration is especially important. showing that you have good foundational drawing skills is good, but not as important i would say for a non-freshman. 

that’s all i can think about for now. you know, reply to emails. set up a voicemail box if you dont have one - that’s something young people dont do and it comes off as unprofessional, but it’s also important to do so you don’t miss any calls regarding applications. clean up or private social media; have a social media just for art that is public, with your name so they can look you up and see your other art, if they do so. sorry this is so long but like i’ve been applying to so much shit lately and also i had a confusing time applying to art school in the first place :)

A while back, I joked about rewriting the Frozen world from KH3. I’m excited to announce that I now have a full draft of the return notes I’d submit of someone gave me a concept write-up of the way that the world actually turned out. Draft under the cut

Outline

SDG arrive and immediately encounter Larxene

Sora: “Hm you’re not a vibe but I don’t know you” Larxene: “You’re a rude bitch for forgetting me like that” Sora: “Wait I do know you?” Larxene: “>:) do you >:)”

She’s like “anyways off to torment a princess of heart laterz” and Sora’s like “well obviously we have to go stop that from happening”

They run around for a bit and encounter Elsa who is fleeing Arendelle

Sora: “Hi we’re--” Elsa: “OH FUCK A DUDE” *ice labyrinth* SDG: “oh fuck an ice labyrinth”

Larxene shows up in the ice labyrinth like “HA suckers. Elsa’s gonna turn to darkness because of her fuckin anxiety and shit. We’re gonna get Nobody Elsa. Lexsa or some shit” and Sora’s like “she just needs a hug :(“ and Larxene’s like “are you fucking dense?? She doesn’t want a hug???” and then she leaves

SDG escape the ice labyrinth

Encounter: Anna

Anna: “hey have you seen my sister” Goofy: “whats she look like” Anna: “white hair--” Sora: “oh yeah we saw her. I think she needs a hug” Anna: “she TOTALLY needs a hug let’s go”

They go to Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post And Moogle Shop and get supplies

Kristoff shows up and homeboy is FLAT BROKE

Anna: “hm. What do yall make of that guy?” Sora: “I think we should help him out” Anna: “:0 you’re right let’s go” Donald and Goofy: “oh shit there’s two of them”

They buy him stuff

Kristoff: “Thanks” Anna: “can u take us up the mountain pls” Kristoff: “no” Sora: “ah but see. Youve failed to consider something” Kristoff: “?” Sora: “im baby” Kristoff: Sora: Kristoff: “FINE”

So theyre on their way (hooray!)

Larxene shows up again like “LOOK. whether or not she falls to darkness isnt even any of your business. just leave her be to figure her shit out” and Sora’s like “are YOU gonna leave her be?” and Larxene is like “this aint about me” and Anna’s like “it is now bitch” and Larxene leaves bc shes the only one allowed to swear

But she leaves them with a bunch of wolf heartless

Kristoff: “oh shit evil wolves” Anna: “not to be confused with regular wolves” Kristoff: “exactly”

Olaf time

Olaf: “Hi! My name is Olaf and I’m a representation of how much Elsa has missed Anna since she started repressing her powers and how much she still loves her and wants to spend time with her again” Goofy: “What?” Olaf: “I SAID my name is Olaf and I like warm hugs :)”

Some various shenanigans idk

Arrive at the ice castle

Anna: “Hi Elsa! :)” Elsa: “oh shit” Anna: “pls can u unfreeze Arendelle” Elsa: “would if i could. Get out of my house” Anna:

Sora: “hi again! :)” Elsa: “Please don’t be mad about the ice labyrinth and also please get out of my house” Sora: “im not mad dw i understand youre going through a lot rn which is. a BIG ol mood” Elsa: “.......” Sora: “do you wanna go home now?” Elsa: “i live here now” Sora and Anna: “Oh :(“ Elsa: “oh shit theres two of them”

Anna is very insistent about going home and Elsa accidentally freezes her heart and FREAKS. OUT.

The Gang Gets Banished

Olaf: “well that could have gone better” Anna: “you’re telling ME” Kristoff: “alright lets go visit my family they can fix this”

The trolls: “we cant fix this. get married” Anna: “WHAT ok” Kristoff: “i feel like there are other options” The trolls: “nope. Get married”

Kristoff: “Anna is engaged to someone else” Sora: “maybe they were talking about him then” The trolls: “we were no--” Kristoff: “good call. Let’s go”

They go back to Arendelle

They happen to arrive back at the same time as the ‘taking Elsa prisoner’ gang

Sora: “this is not conducive to her mental health” Donald: “since when do we know what mental health is?” Sora: “I’m gonna need so much therapy when the universe is not in constant danger :)”

Hans is like “I’ll take care of Anna you all can go home” and Sora is like “Cool we’re gonna help a snowman climb in through your window byeeee”

The plot twist of Frozen happens

Anna and Olaf are on their way to Kristoff

Hans tries to kill Elsa but she becomes a boss battle so SDG have to step in to keep everyone from dying out here

Anna gets in the way of Elsa’s limit break and freezes, shielding her newfound friends and preventing her sister from becoming a murderer in an act of true love and self sacrifice

Elsa reverts to regular mode and cries

Larxene shows up for boss fight two electric boogaloo

SDG beat her up

Anna gets better

yaaaaaay

how i edit my photos!!

ok so, i know this is maybe not the exact tutorial people were looking for, as i literally just changed my editing style and it might not be up to peoples tastes as much as my old editing styles. to add to that, i do plan on making lil tutorials for how i edited in the past. that is, if i remember what i used lmao.

so erm yea. this is gonna be tagged as #tutorial and #how i edit. it’ll also be linked on my blog in my resources/faq so im really gonna throw my shit @ the screen if i get anymore asks about it lollll but ye, here goes! 

note: everything that needs downloading is highlighted in bold + italic 

a) u wanna start off with a nice pose or camera position!! a lot of editing is through where your focus is in the picture, and how it’s positioned. messing with different angles in your editing can make for more interesting posts!! 

b) so here we are, all gross and without reshade. lets fix that:

yay! he’s already looking better right?? i use this reshade for my pictures right now! thanks to @fuchsiateasims for this beautiful preset honestly u r a god

c) so, from here, we use @ratboysims smart sharpen preset! you can create this preset by going to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen. here’s what it should look like

d) after this, you can, if u want to ofc, edit the curves by going to Adjustments > Curves. this is the easiest way to help brighten your image without whitewashing ur simmies!! imo, this pic didn’t need that soooo i didn’t bother

e) next i use this vintage-y preset by @wooldawn!! in this massive set of actions u’ll also find loads of sexy af presets that add mood to ur pics. tbh its a must have, no excuses 

(sorry 4 the bad previews, burn me at the stake ;w;) ta daaaa. now it’s looking a lot more colourful!! yay!!

f) next i use the au’natural preset that tbh i live by??? its just the best thing out there. it’s by the amazing @complicite

adds a lil bit of colour and brightness while also making the shadows POP (wig)

g) now, if ur feeling like u wanna add a lil extra something to ur pics, i add another layer and choose a colour like this:

h) and then continue to paint over areas of the picture that would naturally have extra light. we’re basically making our own light leak rn, wow!! (if you want ur picture to look earlier in the morning, try a lighter orange. if u want it to look like its during the day, try a whiter colour!)

i) after i think i’m done (also, heads up, my brush normally doesnt lay on this  thick?? so idk, just roll with it. urs might, urs might not. who knows), i double click the layer ive painted onto and choose these options!

j) so as u can see, i change the Blend Mode from Normal to either Overlay or Screen. its totally up to you for which one looks better! in this one, i choose screen because the colour was painted on thicker, but in my previous posts, i used overlay to conserve the colour more... confusing ;o; if i use Screen, i set the Opacity to between 10 - 50%. whatever looks good tbh!!

k) and here is what we’re left with!! the only extra editing i did was to use the “A Bit More Brightness??” bit from my own action that u can find here!

i errr hope this helped u guys that are curious about how i edit!! its just mostly staying within my comfort zone using the same skills but also just going with what looks good yano??? feel free to message me if you have any trouble!!

SnK S3E04 Poll Results (Manga Reader Version)

The poll closed with 407 responses. Thank you to everyone who participated!

Please note that this is the results of the manga reader poll. Anime only watchers are suggested not to read if you do not wish to be spoiled about certain events! Anime only viewers, click here to view your poll results!

Rate the episode

Overall, respondents gave the episode high ratings, with 90% total feeling that it was at least very good. The pollsters are very happy to see these ratings improve!

The episode felt short. I wanted more after watching it :)

The pacing of this episode was much better than the first two

We're only on episode 4 and about to enter the climax of the arc, not sure how I feel about this.

Very good. I hope that the skipped scenes appear in a later episode.

It was pretty neat. Sometimes stuff is a touch slow, but I know it’s all a lead up to what’s to come, and like, it’s important to have stuff that is slow sometimes so the big stuff feels even bigger.

This recent episode found a little boring to me. I feel like there's wasn't much action less Levi

Bruh I need the next episode like rn

Did you notice the subtle changes made to the animation in the OP this week?

Less than a quarter of respondents initially noticed that there was something different about the OP this week. However, just over half noticed them upon a second watch or seeing it pointed out by others.

I didn't notice the changes in the opening because I always skip it.

Which of the following scenes were your favorites?

Hange and Moblit taking out the MP’s won by a good margin. The runner up is Spider-Hange. Levi and Mikasa reacting to Kenny’s last name, Levi interrogating the Central MP and Jean testing Marlowe and Hitch were also very loved moments!

The moments between Jean and Marlowe is one of my favorites. That was really fantastic and Marlowe is going to be a wonderful SC member. Too bad he will die later. I was really upset about it while reading the manga. He was such promising and brave guy.

I enjoyed the moment when Erwin asked Nile about Marie. It felt like he still had some feelings to her. I wonder if they're going to go back to this topic later (in flashbacks). Probably not.

This episode was so fucking amazing after the exposition heavy episode 3! I have literally waited years to see Hange taking down that MP animated, shit, the way she just casually like ducks away from the bullet... I used to keep staring at the badassery in that manga panel and now I am watching it on repeat, Wit got that scene so perfectly right!!

My whole life has lead up to this moment with Hitch and Marlo!!! Bless WIT for doing so good by my precious MP!

It was hilarious when 3MPs ran on the ground to chase Flegel while they are equipping ODMG. It was even funnier when one of them cried for joy catching Flegel without using ODMG.

Faithful to the manga with a healthy combination of action and world-building. LOVED Flegel's "I'm the boss" scene.

Erwin’s VA was superb! I was close to tears during the scene when he and Nile were talking.

Who made the best face when ambushing the MP base?

Connie won by a landside! There was no contest here, folks. 

How bangable was Levi this episode on a scale of 1-5?

As expected, over half of respondents would love it if Levi totally wrecked them. Although there are still quite a few of you who would rather he not. 

LEVI DADDY PLEASE STEP ON ME!

Levi in the moonlight was everything I never knew I needed.

Levi cutie crazy ass bitch

Levi. Le-vi. LEVI.

On a scale of 1-5, how distressed were you to see Erwin beat up and chained?

More than half of respondents are anxious to see Commander Handsome out of chains and cleaned up! 

How Erwin can kneel before them on his own? When he knows how horrible they are that they made decisions that killed his father? How can he be like that? Oh just take my heart away already! It's not that I need it…

Also, seeing my husband all beat is tragic and seeing him hanging was far too distressing and I know what’s going to happen in this season, but I want to pretend it isn’t happening and that he might be happy when he reunites with Levi

Erwin also manages to look hot not matter how beat up he is, which isn't even fair.

I love Erwin and he deserves the world.  That is all.

Are you feeling better or worse about the season so far?

Most voters either felt great about the season from the beginning or have started to warm up to it a lot more! There is still a small percentage of those who are still unsure or unhappy, however. 

Feeling alright overall about it but disappointed about some parts being rushed/skipped

I did not like the first two episodes, but now that the pacing has slowed I’m starting to like the episodes better. Still salty about the first two though.

I knew I was going to love it just because it's AOT, but I won't know how much I love it until I've seen how they handle the RtS arc

I havent feel good, still dont feel good but its better than before, so a combo of the 2nd and 4th option

I'm loving the episodes, but I'm still unure about some of the removed scenes, specially the ones involving Historia and Levi COS i swear to dead Marco if they do not animate Levi's smile im gonna riot

I'll wait until this arc is over to cast any judgement. However, I do wish they would've expanded the Reeves' storyline. It kinda fell flat for me in the anime.

Was unsure at first with all the changes from the manga, but have come to accept that some things are gonna be different so I'm just gonna enjoy it as it is. At the end of the day, it's still Attack on Titan so I'll always enjoy it.

I’m just happy we’re getting this season at all

I never thought they could make the uprising arc funny and interesting

Instead of attacking the Centrap MP HQ, Squad Levi ambushed a small outpost on the outskirts of Trost instead. Did you like this change?

Nearly half of respondents were okay or even preferred this change. 36% are let down that there was no slicing and shooting though. Chin up guys, the cave is coming soon! 

I always thought it was a little confusing that squad Levi would go all the way out to the central base, so I think this made more sense because of how they're still on the run. The anime version feels a lot more like they could be caught at any second, which is great!

I was looking forward to the 104th's subtle distressed reactions after having done what they had to do. But I guess the anime is not for subtle.

I'm not sure if replacing the newfound edge from the SC by a lulzy moment was a right choice. I feel like we're losing the grim aspect of the SC not being good guys anymore.

I didn't even remember how the manga handled that, so I didn't notice the change.

I honestly like both situations

While i did want to see the gang cut up peoples legs,  the anime version made more sense and I'm down for any Springlestein.

While the cart charge was hilarious, I'm not sure why a small outpost would know anything about Eren and Historia's location.

I quite honestly didn't notice the difference, the real attraction was Levi fucking the old boy's shit up

While I hopedd they'd make it bigger, after watching the episode I grew to like it, it makes sense both geographically and in terms of the scale of the event.

Oh lol I totally expect them to go ahead and get the Central MP HQ next. I mean, didn't they also do that so that the MP's couldn't mobilise and come to Kenny/Rod's defense later on?

Were you expecting there to be more focus on the press?

Most respondents were expecting to get Hange’s talk with the press prior to exposing the Military Police. A few are certain it’s lost not, while a good 30% are hopeful that we’ll still get it in another way. 

By making the newspaper Trost local, their presence didn't need to be explained, and some aspects from their talk from 60 can be merged with the little moment from the Rookie from 61 after Erwin's trial so as to not be redundant.

The talk with Hange and the press will no doubt happen next episode.

Having a flashback would be good, but I don't have much faith in them doing it

Indifferent to it, doesn't make much difference to the overall plot.

we will get them though not in a flashback half the arc has been rearranged remember.

I NEED Hange brooding on a desk in the press office, it's an important part of my spiritual development

I hope we get more Peaure :(

Which scene from the PV are you most looking forward to next week?

At 41%, the largest group is most anticipating getting a flash of Frieda in the mirror. It’s about time we get to see her in anime form after all these years, right? The remaining three scenes are at an even split. 

Since we’re getting Frieda in the mirror, do you think there will be a flashback to the conversation about Eren’s experiments?

To build off of the previous question, over half of respondents are anticipating the potential for the bedside flashback to happen after all. 35% are optimistic that it will definitely happen, while 11% believe we’re getting Frieda flash in another way. 

I'm hoping the Frieda content doesn't come across as too rushed in the next few episodes. In the manga, almost a year passed between the first Frieda flashbacks and Rod's full story in the chapel underground, but it seems Frieda's anime debut will be only an episode or two before the story. Still looking forward to how it all plays out!

Where do you primarily discuss the series?

Additional thoughts on the episode?

*chanting* STICK! STICK! STICK! STICK!

the changes are fine, doesn't stray too far from the manga. Maybe also makes the anime less of a drag.

Connie had goofy hat. All my stanards has been pleased.

Finally the pacing slowed down to a human level. I'm happy to see so much of Erwin, but it still pains me how he is characterized.

HITCH WITH THE STICK HOLY HELL. Honestly that whole fight scene between Hitch, Marlowe and Jean exceeded my expectations (hopefully not sounding too much like a worshiper). I just love it (probably too much).

Hanji can punch me and I’ll thank her

I MISS EREN AND HISTORIA

I can't believe Flegel sat on the dude's face lol.

Why did Not!-Marco not look like Marco at all?

I don't have a great memory of manga events but I'm feeling shocked - as though the anime is really rushing through events, so I feel worried now!

I love it. The animation when Hanji and Moblit attacked the MP was spectacular. The animators have continuously outdone themselves this season so far.

I'm not sure about my feelings and impressions about this season so far. I got disappointed before with other mangas adaptations, and now, I don't feel like trusting WIT for the moment, until I see some logical modifications.

When it was announced that there would be changes made I was skeptical and thought that the manga was perfect the way it was. Oh boy was I wrong. While I am still angry about some scenes, others just make more sense. I think wit is doing a great job.

Only thing that makes me sad is that Armin's glorious gesumin expressions weren't animated till now.

Honestly so excited to 24 episodes this time not 12. But still proper sick episode.

I've mentioned it on Tumblr before, but while I like how things have been centralized around Trost in this version of Uprising, it does cause an issue. How did Erwin, his captors, and Nile all get from Trost to Mitras in the space of a single morning? They military police either has teleporting tech or an underground bullet train. Or Isayama really wants to replicate S7 of Game of Thrones with characters teleporting all over.

NEXT EPISODE WE’L GET OUR ACKERTALK!!!!!! Eeeeek!!!

No Kenny?! So what kind of episode was that?!

I enjoyed this chapter a lot. Can´t wait to see Eren again.

Well fuck. Manga readers, we know what happens at the reiss chapel

Thank you to everyone who participated! We’ll see you again on Monday!

Yamikumo

Really..

Ten

My breaking point

Katsuki

Since you're supposed to be the smart one, y'know!

Ten

no

Kaminari Denki

Katsuki, stop being an ass.

💛

Ten

I dont want to be

I didnt fucking choose to be

I was forced

Fuck you

Katsuki

Too bad hahaha that's what the universe wants apparently

Yamikumo

I don't get what you're trying to accomplish here

Katsuki

None of us have a choice here hahaha

Yamikumo

Any of you

We do have a fucking choice???

Ten

....

Kaminari Denki

Your destiny is your own

Katsuki

Nah

Nope!

Kaminari Denki

Don't be so dramatic

Katsuki

It's obviously not!

Kaminari Denki

Tenya isn't taking any of that from you Katsuki

Yamikumo

If our destinies were set we would be identical copies of our alternates

Ten

...

Kaminari Denki

And mikumo and Katsuki would be dating

Ten

We are called prototypes

We were the originals

Katsuki

LOL

Ten

But we werent good enough

Yamikumo

Shut up

Both of you

Katsuki

LMAO

Yamikumo

For two seconds

Kaminari Denki

And Momogou and that world's Midoriya...

Katsuki

HAHA

Ten

ITS FUCKING TRUE

Katsuki

ROFL

Yamikumo

You're both so blatantly spiraling

Ten

...

Kaminari Denki

Seriously, what is going ON with you people...

Ten

We are fucked up

Kaminari Denki

You're bringing the spiral extra hard

Katsuki

Nothing

Kaminari Denki

Today

Ten

What did you expect

Yamikumo

Iida-san. You can't control who you love, or why you love them. Just know that there is risks dating someone from a literal different universe 

 Katsu. I don't know what you're trying to accomplish, or what you need. But I want to help with it. You gotta talk to me..

Ten

I know the risks

Katsuki

...

Ten

God do i know them

You dont think

Katsuki

I am talking

Ten

I dont keep awake at night

Katsuki

I think he's an idiot.

Ten

and i think your a fuckinf dumbass who is angry that i seemed to be doing what you so unconsciously want

Katsuki

What about their Iida, huh? What's gonna happen to him?

Did you even think that through?

Kaminari Denki

You dorks are so stressed out...

Katsuki

Are you just gonna push him onto us?

Ten

...

Katsuki

Or are there just gonna be two IDENTICAL people just hanging around, oh-!

You can pretend you're twins! That'll work!

Yamikumo

Jesus

Katsuki

Or long lost cousins~...

Ten

.

Kaminari Denki

Okay, do you want to bang Tenya or something

Ten

KAMINARI

QS Bakugo

Bakugo is online

Katsuki

...

Kaminari Denki

You're acting like something is being taking from you

Ten

SHIT

Katsuki

I guess Ingenium can just die over here, right? Since no one'll be left to take HIS place either

QS Bakugo

...I'm..Sorry..?

Did I miss something?

Katsuki

Pffffffffffffffffff

Kaminari Denki

Momogou did nothing wrong

Ten

^Its me

QS Bakugo

Hold on, hold on.

Back track.

Yamikumo

No one did anything wrong besides shit talking one another

QS Bakugo

Who's banging my Tenya?

Kaminari Denki

Maybe, just maybe, Momogou gave Tenya something he didn't realize he'd been needing or longing for

Maybe they found each other by chance

Katsuki

Or maybe it's ~fate~ blahblah yeah I get it

I just want an answer to all my questions that's all

Kaminari Denki

But there's nothing wrong with finding comfort in someone else

Katsuki

Should we get a new class rep now??? Since you're fucking eloping or whatever

Kaminari Denki

Yeah and I wanna know what tf that villain is up to

But we can't always get what we want

Katsuki

Shut up about that now cool

QS Bakugo

Bakugo is busy

Yamikumo

Katsu has a point

If Iida-san leaves

What does that mean for our world?

Ten

...

Yamikumo

The impact he would have had

I think its great that he and Momogou are together

Before y'all turn on meBut its something you gotta consider

Ten

[Tenya is busy]

Yamikumo

...sigh

Katsuki

Fucking stupid idiot

Dumbass

Kaminari Denki

I get your point but also

Katsuki

HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE TOP OF OUR CLASS

IDIOT

Kaminari Denki

Y'all gotta sort out your emotions

Without turning on each other

Katsuki

HE'S THE ONE THAT TURNED ON US????

Yamikumo

I have no emotional value in this

I just want them to stop fighting

Katsuki

I need to fucking

hit something

Oh my god

Yamikumo

Hit me

Katsuki

No

Yamikumo

I also need to hit something

Kaminari Denki

Jesus fucking...

Yamikumo

It'll be equal hitting

Katsuki

No.

Kaminari Denki

There really are layovers from your universe into ours

If you really are prototypes

Yamikumo

What does that mean

Katsuki

Don't fucking call me that.

Kaminari Denki

I have no idea which universe is what

Or what it means

But the Bakugou I know, while very honest, is emotionally constipated like Yike

Katsuki

Who even fucking came up with that...

Yamikumo

I don't think we need the existential bullshit on top of all the fighting

I think everyone just..

..honestly I don't even know what

Katsuki

... No, that was on that fucking log about me

I don't wanna hear it.

Yamikumo

I dont know what you all need

Kaminari Denki

Huh?

Katsuki

I don't NEED anything???

Kaminari Denki

The mystery guys log?

Katsuki

... Yes.

Yamikumo

Shut up about the mystery guy jesus

Also you do fucking need something

Kaminari Denki

Fuck it 

 We gotta talk about shit

Katsuki

Kind of hard to shut up about something that is literally engraved in my skin but alright

Kaminari Denki

Wtf happened

It--the FUCK?

Yamikumo

Jesus christ

Kaminari Denki

Not your cheek...

Katsuki

No.

Kaminari Denki

Because Mamasuki has that

Katsuki

Yeah. It was mentioned.

In the log.

Yamikumo

You're the one like 'shut up about it' earlier I

Hff

What the fuck ever I'm not

Doing this

Katsuki

Then don't do it???

Yamikumo

[ Yamikumo has logged off ]

Kaminari Denki

You keep bottling thjngs up

You'll explode if you do that

Katsuki

Stop acting like you know me.

Yamikumo

[ Yamikumo is online ]

Kaminari Denki

I know one of you. And not like there's not similarities

Different universes, some things were bound to be constant

Can you really say I'm wrong? Thta you're not bottling anything up?

Yamikumo

Its true.

Kaminari Denki

We've all got fears, Katsuki.

Katsuki

Shut up...

No. Shut up.

Kaminari Denki

Just can't let them drive us

Or beat us

Katsuki

Shut. Up.

Do I look beaten to you????

Kaminari Denki

No.

To both

Yamikumo

Yes

Kaminari Denki

But you're scared. About something

Katsuki

Fuck you Yami

Kaminari Denki

You feel shaky about something

And if you ignore that it will not go away

Yamikumo

You can say that, but you can't say that I don't know you

That I don't have grounds to say it.

Katsuki

...

Yamikumo

People can only reach so far for you. You want people to think you're invincible but you're literally destroying yourself

If you can't let people in how the fuck can we help

How am I supposed to reach you if you keep slapping me away Katsuki

Katsuki

I don't... want... your help.

And how is this help?????

Both of you, ganging up on me and--

Fuck you

Yamikumo

You won't point out your own issues

You want to pretend they don't exist

Kaminari Denki

You say that like we're against you

Katsuki

BECAUSE YOU ARE

Kaminari Denki

No, I'm  not

Mikumo isn't

I'm trying to push you to be more honest

With yourself

Admit it to us, don't admit it to us

Whatever

Yamikumo

Katsu when have I

ever been against you

Katsuki

...

Kaminari Denki

But you're so... You're reluctant to even face your emotions

Even a simmering pot boils eventually

Last couple times I saw Kacchan boil over he was either in the hospital or fighting Midoriya SO

Yamikumo

That's what I don't get

II'm not trying to fucking be against you

I want to support you

That's always been my goal???

I don't understand how you don't understand that

Kaminari Denki

At least listen to Mikumo. He's smart. And he cares about you and your well-being.

Katsuki

...

Yamikumo

If I have to point out the things you want to ignore?

I will.

I'd do anything for you

Even if you don't think I would.

Kaminari Denki

Honestly, that Mikumo is willing and able to point those things out just goes to show he does care

You should value that

Yamikumo

I don't really have anything else to say. I doubt you're really paying attention anyways.

Kaminari Denki

He should be.

Yamikumo

I'm just. going to go. If you want to talk to me you can, but I'm not dragging this out further.

[ Yamikumo is offline ]

Kaminari Denki

I think youre right to say it

Katsuki

...Great

Awesome

Are you happy now?

Like, are you done?

Got all the preaching out of the way?

Kaminari Denki

Don't be defensive. Mikumo is right.

You should think about what he said more.

Katsuki

And you should get off your fucking pedestal and shut the fuck up.

Kaminari Denki

Why? Hit a nerve?

At least I can talk about my emotions...

Katsuki

I don't have to listen to this...
