#is this anything LOL im just rambling bcuz i was thinking about it

[br1ghtestlight]

i feel like when bob's mom died he was probably like eleven and it was traumatic for him and his dad (like imagine how gene would feel if linda died, and its implied that bob and his mom were close too) but big bob and probably bob too are just not people who express their emotions openly!!! in the flashback episode where bob is fourteen he raises his voice the tiniest bit and then apologizes for getting so excited like he just doesn't express his emotions openly and i relate to that LOL i get the feeling that big bob didn't really like talking or thinking about his wife after she died (i mean we know canonically he left her out of stories that he told to bob and avoided her in conversations) and both him and bob probably processed their grief and trauma surrounding her by going "we just won't think about it or talk about her let's pretend she never existed" and its probably also true that bob learned pretty quickly that if he talks about his mom it will make other people sad and feel bad for him, and he knows that talking about his mom makes his dad sad so he doesn't do it anymore and by fourteen he's pretty good at acting like she never existed (i never lost someone close to me and definitely not that young but i can't imagine moving on from losing your mother who you had a close relationship with in like two or three years at that age??? but he seems like he's doing okay in that episode) that could ask explain why he almost never talks about her or tells stories, and why he didn't visit her grave for literal decades (obviously bcuz he was busy with his family and stuff but i get the feeling that he didn't like thinking about it bcuz it made him feel bad) so that lead to an environment where bob couldn't talk about his mom with his dad, and he couldn't talk about her with anyone else bcuz it made them sad and he didn't really like thinking about her bcuz he got sad whenever he thought about her, but as he told big bob in that one episode he likes talking abt her and yeah it makes him sad but it also makes him happy, because they're remembering and talking about her :) imo it would've been traumatic for bob to lose his mom regardless of how she died bcuz she was young like she would've been in her 30s or 40s and people that age don't typically die of natural causes, she probably either got into a car accident and died suddenly or had cancer/another terminal illness and died in a hospital over a longer period of time (which would make sense bcuz bob hates hospitals i think??) but either way that would be very traumatic for bob as a tiny child to watch his mother die and go to her funeral ALSO it seems like big bob is more willing to talk abt his wife with people who never knew her like the kids vs bob because he didn't want to make bob sad by causing him to think about her, so i think big bob came from a good place of not wanting to upset bob or make him miss her or make him sad by reminding him of her but i dont think avoiding talking about someone is the best way to grieve and cope with their death tbh it was probably just traumatic for both of them

want to join the fandom cause it seems fun seeing fanarts and you and others interacting but I don't know how...and with the whole ai thing im scared...

my advice: just do it

really! sometimes all you really need is a leap of faith, and that was exactly how I dropped into the cod fandom. When I joined the ghoap discord server I talked to one of the artist I really like and respected from my lurking time (hi @bressynonym) aaaand the rest is history

I didnt know how to draw properly, nor digitally, all I did was scribbling on OneNote (yeah!) and rambled about cod characters, it is daunting and it is scary to interact but after a while? you may just be able to find someone to brainrot together with

start small, like commenting, reblogging, talking, chatting- doesn't have to be towards artist/writers, it could be the art/fic enjoyers!

you need to put yourself out there if you want something

as to if you want to start in the fandom as a creator, here's some more tips (which are all based on my experience, I am no pro at doing this, hell Im still learning myself, and I am by no means speaking these on behalf on others!)

establish a goal: what are you making? fandom based? original creations?

as with starting new, everything may take a while for stuff to happen, you'll feel like you're speaking to the void at times (esp with original arts, but do know that your stuff do get perceive by others as time goes, I would advise to draw fandom stuff as a beginning to get that boost going if you want! or else it's going to be quite hard to get things rolling)

imo this is hardest part of any new creator, you'll have to bear with it and try not to give up (but I understand how incredibly demotivating it could get, there were times when I stopped posting about Raven entirely, but eventually I post it anyway cuz surely someone out there will like them, it just takes a lot of patiences and perseverance)

btw, engagement can also vary from time to time, you may be booming for a bit, then suddenly you dont, it is a cycle that will bound to happen

take rest regularly, and I mean a break from social media because numbers, discourse and everything can get to you, very quickly (I cannot emphasise this enough)

the numbers are not worth it over your mental health (comes with practice to really solidify this thought)

study the algorithm (pain): see what other creators are doing to get where they are, what tags are they using in their post? what features/niche do people like?(this is, if you really want to grab some form of engagement, bcuz reminder in the end you are creating art for yourself first!)

example: I think posts would get more reach if you tag it with the ship name first, followed by the characters' name (doesn't work all the time tho)

that's the thing about algorithm, it is ever-changing, and you'll have to learn to adapt with it when it does!

expanding on that, studying algorithm could be about ships (for example, ghostsoap is most popular in the fandom), or really good rendered art/flashed out fic that leaves your jaw on the floor, or ships that gets lesser attention in general which puts you, who make content about them, easier to be brought into the light (like Faralex)

bUT, it can also be personality!

(again, not saying this is meant for everyone and strictly from my own experience + what I observe) for me, I made up the lack of my art by establishing a personality: a wild panda who yaps about price and their oc and also kinda everywhere in the place (just like this post LOL), OR you're the person who named themselves after Soap's ash particle number OR you're the one who likes bottom Ghost- literally anything goes, you want to make an impression in different ways, some more funny/goofier than others but it works (be mindful and stay respectful tho, dont wanna be the asshole in the fandom now do ya?)

efforts ≠ engagement (not all the time, but most time) and this is a fact. Sometimes, you can't expect a piece you did for 10+ hours to get thousands views and likes, especially in a fandom space. You need to understand algorithm is that wonky. (very disheartening, but again, you make the art for you and the few others who genuinely likes them, and those people can go a long way) be mentally prepared for such events, and try not to beat yourself up too much for it

ultimately tho, do it, do it scared but do it anyways and again, draw the things that bring you joy, I hope these could be helpful in some ways!

//imma be real here idk what im supposed to do atp

like ik there's a basic idea but im not sure how to.. start it.

things like this sorta keep happening so maaaybe i should just try getting more comfortable about like. reaching out and actually.. planning collaboration things with other ppl. so I stop getting stuck on (what I assume are) eventful things that are supposed to be getting resolved/continued. while i just blank out bcuz idk what I'm doing because I'm horrible at doing stuff alone

like even something small like.. knowing that I'm meant to be initiating an interaction or something would be a great help bcuz I just get stuck worrying abt whether or not it'd be what im "supposed to do" bcuz I don't wanna get in the way of other ppls plans or anything

but uhhh sorry for rambling lol i just think i needed to like. clarify. on whats taking me so long to do Anything.

[ribbitdeltarune]

the post like i said. its been 2 days later (maybe a bit more. im a bit late at this point..) But! 14 of november! My birthday !!! :p didnt do anything for myself but i did spend some (more like a ton) time with friends

so ahead will just be rambling . read if u want

Alriiight so. i am. Dead. i dont post very often . Thats bcuz i dont actually have a active online presence when it comes 2 posting lol this is sorta my first time . however i did post a few times on twitter before and got a decent following but that was basically never anyway . Thank you all for (checks notes) 19 followers! That. is a first actually

however i also kinda have 2 apologize since i dont post a lot which makes this account.. uh, semi-inactive? shrug. as i did mention before in a prev post i am holding back a lotta stuff that i havent posted yet . oops! i personally dont like posting irl photos because 1) i am actually dogwater at taking photos, 3) my camera quality sucks and 2) i dont actually draw on A4 paper very often or like notebook paper at all lol. (its this small one thats more like a notebook to write stuff down stuff you gotta remember, an agenda or whatever. not like i care i use it to draw anyway. it aint got lines its just full white paper (sometimes colored depending on the one i buy) so its for drawing in my view.) but the bad thing is most drawings i made of ribbit so far are... On Paper.

Now. I can just upload them as is but i dont like doing that . i can also just make them digital drawings but if you think im capable of doing that without immediately doing something else you may be wrong

Speaking of thats mostly why this acc is also semi-inactive . whenever i DO draw digitally im probably also doing another thing at the same time so i get distracted and then get stuck on doing something else completely and forget i have to draw!!! Oopsies. im also bad at executing things (''man im gonna draw ribbit right now'' (doesnt do it) (its also a 50/50 if i actually do it or not)) so thats part of it. do i Think posting and/or drawing ribbit stuff is a chore? Not really. i actually like drawing stuff 4 this fandom and im attached 2 the characters + the mod anyway so its not like im gonna stop This soon . not even a year in yet!

I also have a lot of ideas so i hop between 'em a lot (i have so many animations/animatics in mind but guess who cant animate and also drawing frames take longer than just drawing sighs)... thats why most posts on here is just doodles so far .

to be fair though i have been in a . Uh. I guess fine. Maybe a bit bad headspace as of a few weeks now so i havent really gotten the urge/want to post rn and who knows how long that'll take to go away anyway. thinking of trying 2 get sum stuff finished and then queueing a few posts just so i can get some brainworms out of ma head . and Who Knows if i'll really do that. Future Is Mystery!

Oh and to add i still need to finish or get to like maybe the 5th chapter for a fic im working on rn so theres that too. im still on chapter 4 (progress is fine. i think ill rewrite the dream segment?) and then i will Hopefully get 2 work on chapter 5. god bless being unable to execute things AND to spice it up focus on things (sarcasm)

i am however kinda busy these days. Schoolnstuff. I get in drawing moods a lot (literally everyday bro i dont get burnt out easily or get demotivated that much bc i just finish it eventually anyway) but i need to pass math to pass the year itself so maybe no art posts until thats done. i might post every now and then though. Speaking of posting! Did you know VeeReMia is actually a pun on viremia which is, ''a medical term for viruses present in the bloodstream''. vee came first as part of the instrumental theme, and then maxine added the other syllables. Fun isnt it (i cant stop thinking about it now)

Thanks for reading . I think thats all. Maybe. Shrug.

Also current pfp is placeholder i also need 2 make one BANGS FISTS ON TABLE REPEATEDLY

pokespe reread: red, green & blue chapter - closing thoughts! 🔴🟢🔵

im gonna do these for each chapter before i move onto the next one :D which means its time for RGB closing thoughts before i head onto yellow! i dont have as much to say as i did about ruby & sapphire, but that's just cuz there isn't any poorly handled parental abuse or gender nonconformity i feel the need to ramble about for 5 billion years LOL

anyways, thoughts under the cut!

(before i say anything, reminder that i call the boy green and the girl blue 👍)

ok first off, i wanna talk about just how cool the way team rocket is portrayed here. like i sort of take it for granted since ive been into pokespe for so long, but the thing of a lot of the gym leaders being a part of team rocket is SOOOOO cool.

not only does that by itself raise the stakes a lot compared to other depictions, but also these guys are RUTHLESS. like they have no qualms about straight up killing these kids and that makes every scene they're involved in so much more intense. like the scene where red and green are fighting against koga and he keeps forcing them to back down by threatening to literally DECAPITATE the other? that shit was genuinely so tense, it was really well done.

outside of the involvement of the gym leaders, they also do a really good job at making everything feel interconnected. like almost every conflict that isnt interpersonal can be traced back to team rocket, and even stuff that seems trivial at first, like collecting the gym badges, ends up having a greater significance. i did not remember that giovanni left red and green alone so they could collect the gym badges for them, that actually shocked me. really well done

moving onto specific characters, i just wanna talk about how much i love red rq bcuz i have an even deeper appreciation for him after this reread 😭 like he's just so pure hearted and cares about pokemon so much, and i really love how THAT'S what makes him strong.

like obviously that's a classic pokemon narrative at this point, but this was back in the days of the first game! yknow the one where trainers had whips and the bonds with your pokemon WASNT heavily emphasized? i just think it's cool that alongside his skills as a trainer, red's main heroic trait is his EMPATHY above all else. not trying to give too much credit here but i do think that's really cool, having the main male protagonist's strength come from his empathy and love.

and the way that that influences OTHERS to become better is something that i really love too. blaine talking about how seeing red's love for pokemon is what made him leave team rocket actually almost made me tear up :') and of course green also learns to treat his pokemon better because of red, which is something that i really really love (more on that in a second)

i also just wanna note how much i love red and poli :D the reoccurring thing with red being saved from drowning by it was really really sweet

moving onto green, i was surprised at how much... less of an asshole he was than i remembered? like dont get me wrong, he's definitely got a few moments where he's nasty to red for no reason in the beginning. but overall he's really moreso just Prickly, rather than being outwardly antagonistic. most of the time he's just brushing red off and underestimating him, rather than straight-up insulting him

this also plays into the fact that i realized upon this reread green very much reads as autistic to me. he's silent a lot of the time, focused on stats over feelings, and doesnt even attempt to mask when he doesnt like someone or something. he's very upfront with how he feels which comes across as cold/mean (and im not saying that's NOT what it is, but a lot of the time i think he's just reacting honestly without necessarily meaning to be rude. tho since he doesnt rlly like red and thats who he's usually interacting with, most of the time it IS probably meant to be rude lol)

also there's instances of him not rlly getting social cues/sarcasm. like literally this moment i put above, red goes "back to your old obnoxious self i see!" but green doesnt seem to even register that as a jab and just goes "that's right" like bro hes making fun of you 😭

but anyways yes, green was not as actively mean as i remembered him being, and him and red actually start to get along far quicker than i recalled as well! i thought that their enemies/rivals to friends dynamic was very well done, and i think this is best shown in the championship match, which was for sure one of my favorite moments of the whole arc

^ LIKE. OH MY GOD. the way that red and green have both learned from each other and grown bcuz of it by the end of the story. the way they've grown to respect each other and know each other so well. "they've incorporated the best traits of the other into themselves... and they know each other like the back of their own hands!" simon infizero found dead on the floor

i also liked how much the two smiled during the match :) they're having fun! they enjoy battling against each other!! i already talked about this in a separate post but this is a VERY different championship match than the one that occurs between these two in gameverse. and that's ok! even if i find gameverse's version more compelling, both are good and serve different purposes.

gameverse green's character development is jumpstarted BY losing the championship, while here pokespe green has ALREADY undergone character development and this match is used as a vessel for showing that development off. and i really really like it :D

now uh. for something about this climax that i DIDNT like

bro what the fuck was this 😭 professor oak intentionally triggering blue and airing out her trauma in front of thousands in order to "get back" at her for stealing squirtle was really fucking weird and strangely cruel. like listen man ive experienced many different interpretations of oak over the years some good, some very bad, most of them complicated, but even at his worst he would not fucking do this 😭 at least not in my opinion

i really wish that him confronting blue for stealing her starter and giving her the pokedex was under better circumstances..... like imo if they wanted to do this scene with all that and blue talking about her past, they could've easily just. had oak directly confront her about it. if we need to get blue broken down enough to talk about it, then have him start beating her in the battle really badly until she gets mad about it!

or hell, if that wouldnt be enough, have him confront her, she wont open up, so THEN he pulls out the spearow as sort of a last resort. she gets scared and rather than being all weirdly smug like "haha stupid traumatized girl i knew it was you" (ew) have him be GENTLE. have him be like "i know what you've been through blue. i was part of the team that tried to search for you etc etc. all i want is to know why you stole my squirtle" and then she breaks down and goes on her whole spiel.

that would be sooooo much better than what actually happened, and it would make the scene where he finally gives her her own pokedex and she breaks down into tears thanking him feel SO much more earned and actually impactful, rather than just feeling weird. this moment just felt so weirdly cruel and out of character for oak for no reason. and it sucks bcuz i DO like blue's breakdown about how she's from pallet too and wanted to go on her own journey, but the way we get there is just so weird that i cant fully appreciate it.

ok lastly just quick thing, i love how mewtwo is portrayed here :') it's how it should be portrayed!! it's not evil, it's just been through a lot and has a very understandable hatred for humans due to that. i love how red didnt even hesitate in immediately being empathetic to mewtwo and encouraging blaine to show mewtwo kindness and help it have a better life. made me very happy I LOVE YOU MEWTWO

and that's about it!! overall, i really love this first arc. it's definitely a little wacky when it comes to certain worldbuilding stuff, but that's to be expected from something made in the franchise's infancy. u could just do whatever u wanted back then man. and it doesnt even bother me cuz i mean. stuff like the legendary birds fusing into one pokemon is objectively cool as fuck

this arc is really well written when it comes to the overarching threat of team rocket, the characters and their development, everything! truly a delightful read :]

now, it's time for the kantet to finally be completed as i move onto the yellow chapter!!!! ^_^

[avpdgirlfriend]

🥘: also about ur tags i saw on ur answer to the recent ask i sent… yeah that’s pretty familiar to me😭😭😭 (even if it’s off topic) i remember dramatizing a bunch of stuff as a kid and making up the stories’ intensity just to get ppl’s reactions… and then i just Do Not thinks abt it bc i just go… Hm… perhaps I Will Not talk abt it. Maybe

(rambly here, feel free to delete if anything i say bothers u, don’t worry)

also also. it sucks there isn’t a lot of resources to even like talk abt this and my own experiences, bc at the surface it’s only for attention seeking!! but it’s not at all like that. like i desperately just. Want connection and also not for people to leave me, and that also has me like… change what im into / what i like… kind of often, and it just makes me want to punch myself so much; even putting the symptoms into easier terms makes it feels like… Ok Yeah I’m not normal!!!

i often feel like im faking things, but yknow? it just generally sucks bc i won’t be believed! even if im w/ ppl im comfy w/ and see them as friends, I feel like im just deceiving them and being a huuge imposter lol. while im trying to more or less accept that im… not really that great at the whole acceptance thing for myself, i think learning and seeing how much me and other ppl’s experiences overlap in some ways helps me out so so much lol!!! like!! I’m not alone in that sort of feeling if that makes any sense

anyways i hope however u r doing, hope ur doing ok :)!!! cheering u on

omg yeah yeah i mostly didn't realize i could make things up as a kid but i used to just like.. say something and then be like omg u will Never figure it out :3 n then no one cared so i would give clues or just say it so they would pay attention to me and i'd get a reaction..... but i wanted them to be so invested in me they would detective it :/ smh i had to do everything myself . actually i still do this EHEJKFMD & yeah i totally get all of that! :( it's really hard. i actually made this blog mostly to see if people would relate so i could have that connection & feel like i'm not alone... i rlly enjoy when people leave tags expressing in some way that they feel the same or they get it..! it's also bcuz you know like attention haha but the whole thing attention boils down to is wanting to feel valued and loved and connection w people anyways & thank you!!! i hope you're doing good too :-) ♡♡♡♡♡ may u have a day filled w happiness & warmth & people u love complimenting you

[oceanatydes]

hi it is me again . I heard you wanted soft zhongli hcs so hello - I literally just woke up though so these might be a bit scatterbrain MAVJHA not like the way I write is already naturally scatterbrain AHEM ANYWAYS-- I dont simp for zhongli so beaR WITH ME • ok so I see zhongli as more of a father figure to me so- so I like to imagine him holding my hands whenever were going through a crowded part in Liyue harbor because im as small as a 5th grader (I actually got mistaken for a 5th grader once its so sad) and I might get lost in the crowd but height doesn't have anything to do here bcuz im pretty sure most of us are shorter than him like —zhongli is literally a six footer or at least near six feet OKAY IM RAMBLING- I dont know, something about handholding with zhongli makes me melt,, • ZHONGLI IS A CAT PERSON IN MY BOOK, IM MIHOYO AND I SAY ITS CANON —ok but seriously, I feel like he'd go on a tangent about how cats look so elegant and fierce- I don't think he would own one? but he definitely feeds the stray cats around in liyue and I think cats would just naturally like him lmao - I am all over the place help • I hc zhongli to absolutely love telling you stories —like if you're sad he would ask you to sit on his table and offer you a cup of tea and then tell you a happy story or just a story in general to take your mind off of whatever problem you have,, he's so sweet im gonna crY AND AND if you're already in a relationship with him, he would love to hold you in his arms while he rambles, zhongli just loves holding you in general because he is probably really touch-starved and wants any kind of touch from you —please hug him too while you're cuddling, it makes him feel so loved and giddy and it makes him blush too cough cough- I feel like this ask is just me rambling— I dont have any good hcs for him bcuz I see him as a dad TT my friend a.k.a. the biggest zhongli simp I have ever seen cough cough- isn't awake yet so I have to come up with these all by myself, writing this just when I woke up was a bad idea now that I think about it HVSJH but enjoy whatever this is (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

HELLO DARLING I was hoping you’d pop by ☺️

totally understandable! he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but he’s most certainly a cutie to me 🥺

zhongli gently holding ur hand in his pls,, whether it’s platonic or romantic just feeling the calloused skin and the warmth of his hands

zhongli w cats is so cute and makes sense?? like I never thought of it but I agree. I feel like cats would just visit him wherever he’s staying like they just know lol

ZHONGLI HOLDING ME IN HIS ARMS WHILE HE TALKS PLS MY HEART IM 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 imagine just gently tracing his features and he stops talking and just leans into the touch bc he hasn’t been touched like that in eons PLS

these hcs were adorable and I don’t mind ur rambles at all so don’t worry! thank u so much for sending these in! they always brighten up my day

[kissesandcream]

this is like my second ask in your inbox, im writing this right after I requested Jean for your minigame LOL but anyways- have smiling kaeya with taroumaru!! :D Bro I miss the good ol' days when we were new players :(( The sole reason why I made my NA account is to witness the start of the game again but it doesn't feel the same anymore😔 but putting the nostalgia stuff aside, the soundtrack in the game is beautiful, one soundtrack that scares me though is when you get near Cuijue Slope and it sounds like a whistle - aaa cuijue slope is alrdy so creepy but that sound makes it worse😭 dang you have a lot of favorite characters, mine are diluc, kaeya, jean, thoma (tohma??), zhongli, yoimiya, hu tao and Bennett bb <33 You can say that I have a slight attraction to the color red hHHHhhH red is a pretty color (*. .)♡ ,,can I just ramble about Zhongli real quick. inhales. I WANT HIM TO BE MY DAD😭 he doesn't even need to be my dad, just a father figure will do TT no bcuz Zhongli would be such a good dad and it makes me happy, I take interest in learning about lore and history stuff and I really want to listen to Zhongli's rambles jsdvshf zhongli pls be my dad ;;; AND THE SAME GOES FOR BENNETT TOO, I want Bennett to be my little brother omg, I'll be in his adventure team,,, ;;

LOOK AT HIM 🥰 kaeya <333 i love him sm <333 he was the first character i built and is currently the only one at level 90 with a crowned talent <333 probably not a good thing at ar 55 and will probably get outbested by kokomi. but he can have it while it lasts <3

no same i have like three accounts made just to experience the opening scene 😭 i remember the osial boss fight and how it literally took me by surprise,,,,, i was really new to the game and didn't really follow it on social media or anything so it was so thrilling

idk if im talking about the same one as you are but the sountrack at wuwang hill is sO EERIE,, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT KJKKJH

i was grinding genshin past midnight one day and i literally had it on mute bc the noise was scaring me so much 😭

yeah i adore an unhealthy amount of people 😃 but HU TAO!! i didnt really feel anything for her when she came out mostly bc i was still salty about not getting xiao but i love her so much !! pls i feel u with the red thing all of the pyro characters are just <333

YES DADLI. I FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT HIM TOO JUST. he'd be the BEST at bed time stories and everyone knows bedtime stories are the number one father figure requirement

will they be peaceful bedtime stories? debatable. will they probably be about the numerous things he killed? possibly. bUT STILL

imagine him telling us stories about guizhong :,) bye ill cry if i think about it :,,,)

and bennett!! baby!! i really wanna be his friend, hanging out with him fischl and barbara sounds so fun bc it's fischl being dramatic, bennett getting hurt but not realizing it, and barbara trying to keep everyone alive 😭

[lovekatsukibakugo]

pt. 1 okay so i’m totally gonna geek out here for a second but i kinda have two very controversial ideas about who would basically adopt kikyo and be her bestie first, Jirou!! i can totally imagine them like maybe gaining mutual respect for each other’s similar music tastes and sometimes sharing an earbud during break while ignoring everyone else lol. or maybe like always noticing when the other needs a pencil and lending one to them, or switching lunch bcuz they both like the other’s better and

pt. 2 and it only requires like an eyebrow raise or something. Idk i really think they’d be those quiet but rock-hard friendships which everyone is aware of. ‘oh there goes kikyo and jirou again’ sorta thing. they don’t talk super lot but they just get each other’s facial expression and the whole class is low key jealous about how they can hold a conversation silently with just subtle hints because everyone is dying to know what they’re talking aboutpt. 3 my other completely opposite idea would be either mina or kaminari. i know they seem too bubbly for her personality but can you imagine like sero daring them to like make her laugh or something and the two idiots thinking it would be super easy but kikyo is just like ‘bruh wtf’. so mina and kaminari become obsessed with making her laugh and just kinda drag her everywhere with them cuz they waste no opportunity! im talking puns, dad jokes, stupid stories and ofc embarrassing themselvespt 4. and kikyo is just probably super done with them but kinda rolls with it after some time. you can decide if mina and kaminari succeed in the end or not, haha! sorry if i rambled I didn’t mean to i just thought these could be cute :3

I can see either of these two things happening because let’s be real, Kikyo doesn’t laugh. That’s just a thing that doesn’t happen and if someone can manage to get her to laugh, that would be a huge milestone, lol. 

I could also see Kikyo and Jiro being the type of friends or classmates that are close and who don’t have to say much. I really like the idea that they don’t have to say anything to understand one another, that would be so fun. And I think Kikyo wouldn’t mind Jiro being around.

Others agree too: 

As for Kaminari, I have thought about it and I think they would really balance each other out - maybe keep each other grounded (??) I don’t know, it was a thought! Hahaha! She would definitely get to the point where she is so done with him (and I can easily see Mina taking on a similar role to what I’ve explained here, haha). 

Of course, at the end of the day, Kikyo wouldn’t admit she has friends. Everyone is still her “idiot classmates” whom she still looks out for (and doesn’t admit it). 

what do you guys think? I would love to know! Thanks for the responses, guys, because these are great ideas.
