💘boy talk all say about stevie!!! Can we do a sfw and nsfw on how he would be in a relationship?? What are your thoughts? 

hi love!! hehe thank you again for sending this in <3 but eek steve in a relationship:

so i think we all know steve is a lovesick little loverboy but, i think that would make him a little bit apprehensive especially at the beginning of a new relationship so i think it would be a lot of him needing reassurance (which i mean cmon who doesn’t every now and then) but with steve it’s more like he needs to be reminded that he is capable of being loved, especially so by you.

he would be sickly sweet on you, always making sure you’ve got what you need whether that be more of the blanket during movie nights on the couch, or if you need him to come pick you up after a late shift at work because your car won’t start he'd do anything for you, big or small.

you would never have to go without kisses or cuddles because as soon as he senses that you want to be loved on he knows just what you need. his entire being is so casually dominant that it is so easy to just let steve take care of you.

he is 100% daddy material

he has a monster c***

he eats pussy for his pleasure

also just the fact that he’d basically worship the ground you walk on is so sexy

def would be like “happy 1 month and three weeks baby love” <3

✏️ pope heyward

pope wants to travel the world one day. he's never been outside the outer banks, let alone the state or country, so traveling the world either solo or with the pogues is a dream of his. just him and his best friends, seeing and trying new things and experiencing other cultures seems like it would be amazing!

pope is a huge star wars nerd! i can't remember if this is canon or even mentioned in the show at all but i think he's such a big nerd about the movies. he watched them with his dad when he was a kid and they've held a special place in his heart ever since. he dressed up as some sort of star wars character for halloween every year and he makes it a habit to rewatch the movies at least once a year too. and if he gets the chance to go to disneyland he's definitely building his own custom lightsaber.

pope is a great artist. sketching is a way for him to relax and unwind, and he has books upon books full of drawings he's done of anything and everything that gave him a bit of inspiration. on slow days at heyward's seafood, he'll sit behind the counter and sketch the hours away til his dad pulls him away to do a delivery.

join the celebration!

i feel like for funsies on the rare occurrence of saturday night not including a date night, steve would honestly just head on down to the park and play some basketball. just to get out of his head a lil bit and have fun like he used to. i think he would sometimes invite lucas and just have some bonding time with him playing some pickup games against randos. (also u and max would def be right there on the sideline cheering them on)

oh my god yes you have such top tier big brain ideas kait <3!!! this opened pandora’s box in my brain bro, i wanna be his gf who comes picks him up from his late night court sessions so bad!!! (i read this more as he just goes and chills at a community court to clear his head but ur so right he challenges randoms left and right when he can hehe)

steve doesn’t like doing it too much :( in his brain, saturday is the day for you! he always spends it with you when he can :) but when there’s nothing good on at the movies you guys wanna see and you’re not up for getting all dolled up to go out, you encourage him to go spend the evening shooting hoops. you know that he loves it, getting the adrenaline out, working up a sweat, and getting things off his mind

u also know how it’s healthy for him— you adore how he comes back from the court and always just sleeps like the dead that night, no nightmares, no nothing. and yeah, you’ll also admit that you also love that he goes out wearing those tiny green shorts and a crop-top hehehe

half the time, he goes alone and half the time he goes with lucas. you always like when it’s him and lucas, as you prefer knowing there’s someone else out there, someone who’s smart enuf to work thru the moods and funks he gets himself into. plus, if you’re early and they’re not quite done, you’ll have max to talk (and gossip hehe) to

but either way, your favourite part of those saturday nights is when rock up to pick him up and stroll out onto the court to meet him. he’ll still keep playing, dribbling the ball lazily — and he always breaks into a full on grin when you hold up your hands and say ‘pass it, harrington’ even tho you do it every time. you give your best attempt to dribble and steve goes easy on his defence, but the moment you try to sidestep him, he gives up and cheats, grabbing you around the waist and scooping you up, spinning you til you’re squealing at him to put! you! down!

the kiss is always a bit sweatier than you prefer but with his hair all mussed, his cheeks flushed pink, and that content glint in his hazel eyes, it’s definitely one of your favourites <3

It really seems that for some people it was very difficult to grasp the true message of Saeran's after ending. They were so confused that they assumed that Cheritz was again trying to impose forgiveness on the players as the only option to get a good ending (as happened with the after ending of V).

Geez, didn't they see that Saeyoung didn't choose to forgive anyone? MC never says they forgive anyone in AE (here we were allowed to be neutral and in the end it will be our choice to forgive or not to forgive but we are never forced to go towards an extreme we don't like), even RFA, they have their own feelings about it, they felt disappointed by V and Rika. They are not that explicit but they imply that their friendship with them is over.... and it's wrong if they don't forgive them? of course not! If that's how they feel and they find another way to be at peace without an apology in between that's fine! And if they choose to do otherwise that's also very well. It is their choice.

They are within their rights to choose how they feel and how they want to move forward. Saeran made his choice, Saeyoung made his choice, RFA made their choice.... You can make your choice too. No one here is wrong, the only thing that will always be very wrong is judging others because they made a different choice than you, man it doesn't affect you. what's the problem? You don't have to agree but remember to respect others choices just like your choices should also be respected.

I've said the same thing over and over again since the After Ending came out. I think the struggle for some people comes from the basic understanding of what it means to forgive. It seems like a lot of folks view this as a black-and-white situation wherein saying that you will forgive someone means that you're saying what happened to you is now water under the bridge and you're willing to open your life up to that person. But, that's only one kind of forgiveness and acceptance.

There are hundreds more and it depends on what feels right to you that changes that outcome. Everyone has to decide what they'll get out of a situation like this. Do you want an apology? Do you want to say you forgive them to find closure? Is forgiveness asking for a way to see them again? Do you want to hold onto your feelings? Do you want nothing to do with them ever again?

All of these and more are included in the realm of your feelings. You have to choose what feels right. For Saeran, forgiveness was a way to eventually forgive himself. Choosing to forgive his abusers gave him a pathway to forgive himself for what he did to the members of the RFA, and more importantly, his MC. He wants nothing to do with V, Rika, or his father. But, finding peace was seeing them one last time to finish that chapter.

Saeyoung isn't forgiving anyone. He will hate them until the day he dies and beyond. He holds grudges and it won't hinder him in any healing process to feel that way. He's not hurting himself and he isn't hurting anyone else by hating them for what they did. He's allowed to feel that way. Just like Saeran is allowed to feel his way.

The RFA has its own feelings, which are even more varied than Saeran and Saeyoung. That's what's beautiful about that ending. There are no more secrets and everyone has the choice to decide what they want to do going forward and nobody shames them for those feelings. Just as it should be. If you don't want to forgive Rika, V, or Saejoong, don't.

Don't forgive them.

But, don't shame anyone else who chose to do so. Saeran isn't stupid or wrong for choosing what he did. He did what felt to him and we're all entitled to do the same for ourselves. That's the beauty of free will and that's what he deserves. What we all deserve.

I had a caesar salad at dinner and am now sending you smoochies bc I thought of you 😚

[kaitsawamura]

hi kait!!! I’m here with much affection + to ask for a playlist, if that’s okay?🥺 my favorite fic that I’ve written (from bnha bc I don’t believe youve watched aot?) is you feel love in the sodium, which is pro-hero Bakugou x Reader, with trigger warnings for a depressive episode, suicidal ideation, and a mentioned suicide attempt. Please don’t read it if you would be uncomfortable, but I promise it’s actually really soft!! Either way, I love you and I hope you’re doing well, kiss kiss🥰

mutuals send me the link to your fave fic you've written and i'll compile a playlist!

. * -> you feel love in the sodium

the fic

the playlist

. * -> author's note

Oh boy, friends, this one's a doozy in the best possible way. Make sure to read the trigger warnings on this fic but if you know you can read it without any risks, please do.

Valk, I forgot how much I love this fic. I remember the first time I read it was actually before I even started this ask game; I think it might have even been one of the first few Bakugo fics I ever read. I identified with it at the time and I identify with it even more now. It just means a lot to me; thank you for writing it and for being "vulnerable" and open enough to post it.

I tried to make this playlist with a good balance of sad songs (sometimes you just gotta give in and cry) but also songs that give the vibe of "the horrors persist but so do I" because I think that's the real message within this fic. It's important to hold space for all our human emotions. Anyways, I hurt my own feelings with the music in a good way so I hope it fits your wonderful story <3

nuts reading trigun in japanese 6 - kaite's foreshadowing. plant synchronization's downside

remember in my part 3 and 5 i was talking about hierarchy? surprisingly, it continues past chapter 8 with kaite. and wolfwood. triangulating nyoom

(to be honest... ive been doing these read and analysis completely blind in a 1st JP read through. so its possible ill find new nuances, get things wrong as the context shifts and changes, so my stuff looks like its scattered all over the place. sorry about that.)

i think ill start explaining names and meanings. kaite's name in japanese is kaito. カイト. this can be a homonym with i think 怪盗 (kaitou) in this case, which means phantom thief. for trying to help Neon with stealing loot from the Stand Steamer.

left bubble next to neon: 道案内は的確だったかね！？ I trust your guide has been giving you clear instructions?

^the headaches with manga translations has always been to keep texts short and reasonable for flow and readability, so these simplifications can and sometimes must happen.

but, add dakutens, the " on 2 of those カイト katakanas and suddenly, kaito turns into. ガイド gaido. Guide.

so Kaite has been playing as a guide to lead vash to his death at the hands of Neon. this page is such a fucking whammy with the wordplay going on. if you just read this in japanese theres a moment of "oh shit, no way, Kaite, vash just told you to stop betraying people! what the hell!"

yet theres a level of trust going on already, so its not as bad as it seems

nightow really likes his worldplay. i really like this page.

kaite redeems himself by later charging into the boiler room and helps turn the valve to stop the sand steamer from running off cliff and killing everyone on board....

hm. a guide. and those sequences

we sure have a lot of guides here. one who appears in the manga later with a kansai dialect. and another in TriStamp, where he is younger than he appears.

when i spoke about hierarchy and the fact that vash is over 150, i was also kind of hinting that all of current humanity are akin to children in the system of JP hierarchy. that takes on extra meaning with a little change of context and language

wolfwood is filling in the shoes of kaito here in tristamp. and within trimax, kaito foreshadows him. incredible.

theres actually more going on with wolfwood and certain design/changes choices i wanna talk about with tristamp but ill save it for another day. maybe when i run into him in this read later

Plant Synchronization downside.

....so theres a bad downside to vash synchronizing with the plant that i didn't catch. which also answers what the fuck was going on in tristamp when that version of him hits the ground

nightow mentions this in an interview, link here posted and transcribed by xoxo-otome (thank you!) that he likes action flicks and has incorporated a lot of action into his work. and its true. there is so much action in the form of sound effects.

reading through the entire manga and paying attention to the sfx peppered around offers a lot more context to whats happening in half of the panels that seemingly doesnt make sense

like this one where the top panel has "DADADADADA" sfx. so they're stomping down the corridor with their guns crossed and facing each other. the "GO OH" in the bottom panel emphasizes the sudden burst into open air. unfortunately, anyone who values their life and sanity in this economy will not want to translate trigun's sfxs 100%.

i should have paid more attention when reading trigun in english. but i didn't so here i am. in the trigunbookclub tag now doing this.

why is it important? here. this. below. when vash does his plant thing with his sister:

see those heart panels? i tried searching real quick but nobody seems to have pointed this out. i havent seen this in EN fanfics. maybe i missed it. maybe im stupid:

thats Dokun, the sound effect of a heart thumping. as vash synchronizes, the heart panels with the same sound effect appear, but they gradually split apart further with ellipses "..." to signify his heart beat slowing down. and down. and down....

Dokun, do kun, do... kun....

then the wings comes out. and the panel below it:

sfx: PIIIIIIIIIII

breathes. a FLAT LINE.

aaaaaaAA?!

何かなんだかわかりません I'm not sure what's going on. とにかくプラントの動きは一切止まっています But the Plant's movement has completely stopped. 同時に男にも呼吸　心音ともに停止してます It's the same with that man. His breathing and heartbeat sounds like it's stopped with the plant too.

AAAAA?!!?! the も means vash is in the same state as the plant?

i.... um. um.,, ANYWAY-

AAAAAAAAAAAA?! HUH?! HUH??? HUH?!

is THIS why he has a metal grate over his heart? something happened and he an an operation on his heart???? by some engineer maybe? what? huh? am i reading this wrong? what? wait, hello? HEY!!!

what the fuck. okAY--?!

and then he just. pretends like nothing's happened. doesnt tell kaito anything. and he leaves the Sand Steamer.

and im going to have to sleep bc its 5 am now and pretend like i didnt just realize something this big right in front of my eyes during the first read.

—

It’s a relatively quiet evening in for the Harrington household. The soup you’re making for dinner is simmering on the stove while Steve keeps your toddler busy. You love Claire, she has you wrapped around her finger, but you’re so glad to have Steve; you’re not sure how you’d ever get anything done if it was just you. The last time you’d checked on your loves, they were both sitting at the coffee table in the living room, coloring diligently, and judging how quiet it is, you assume they’re still there.

Steve is, in fact, still sitting on the floor next to his little girl as she scribbles furiously on her paper, the entirety of her tiny hand wrapped around the purple crayon she’s using. Her eyebrows are furrowed, her nose is scrunched up, and her soft, wavy hair is falling into her face as she concentrates on getting her picture just right. Every little thing she does makes Steve’s heart burst, and this little moment is no exception. Reaching out toward her, Steve gently brushes her hair out of her face, tucking it back into the bow clip already in her hair, even though her hair will probably shake free again in a few moments. His voice is soft and filled with adoration as he asks, “What are you coloring, baby?”

It takes a moment, but Claire finally looks up with wide eyes and gives Steve a smile that is identical to yours. His heart bursts again.

Claire begins explaining her picture, pointing out each part as she does. She’s still learning how to talk, and though Steve can interpret her toddler gibberish better than anyone else, he only catches half the words. Still, he nods thoughtfully, as though he fully understands her, “Wow, lovey, you’re doing such a good job. It’s such a pretty picture.”

She beams at him again, and points at the paper on the table in front of Steve, crayon still in her hand, “Dada draw.”

“Oh, you want daddy to draw another picture?”

“Mhm,” she nods, jabbing her finger at the paper again, “Mama an’ Dada an’ Claire.”

“That’s what you want me to draw?” When she nods again, Steve can’t help but give in, even though his drawing skills aren’t great.

Once she sees that he’s drawing what she asked for, Claire turns back to her own paper with a green crayon this time, scribbling right over the purple. Steve’s a bit more careful as he draws three stick figures on the blank piece of paper, one with your hair, one with his hair and glasses, and a dress and pigtails on the smallest figure. Holding the picture up for her to see, he asks, “How’s this, lovey?”

“Good!”

“Do you think Mama will like our pictures?”

“Mhm!” she babbles on a little longer, saying something about the fridge, and Steve realizes that she wants her picture hung up on the fridge, next to the other three million pictures already there. Not that he would ever complain about her adorable drawings.

“I bet if you showed Mama your picture, she’d hang it up on the fridge, Claire bear,” Steve says, taking a different crayon to quickly write a small note on the paper he’d drawn on. Folding the paper in half, Steve hands it to his little girl and points to the kitchen, “Will you take this one to Mama, too, peanut?”

The unmistakable sound of clumsy toddler footsteps approach the kitchen and you turn away from the stove just in time to see Claire burst into the kitchen. She grins at the sight of you, throwing her arms in the air so you can pick her up, “Mama!”

“Hey, sweetheart!” you bend down to scoop her up into your arms, pulling her up to your hip, “Were you and Daddy coloring together?”

Instead of answering, she shoves her drawing into your face, eagerly awaiting your praise, which you quickly give to her after glancing at the mess of color, “Oh, it’s beautiful, baby! You’re so good at coloring.” You punctuate your sentence with a kiss to her cheek. “What’s the other paper you got there, baby?”

“Dada,” she says, holding the paper out for you to take before squirming in your arms.

You set her back on the floor before you can unfold the paper, and watch her dart back out to the living room. When she disappears from the kitchen, you hang up the drawing she’d given you, and unfold the one from your husband. Inside, next to the drawing he’d done is a small note written in crayon. Steve’s already messy handwriting is even harder to read in the thick crayon, but you manage to make out what it says.

It’s his cheesiest nickname for you, followed by an equally cheesy proclamation of love that ends with ‘I love our life together. Love you to the moon and back, honey. Steve’ He’d even drawn a messy heart next to his name.

His drawing and note goes on the fridge front and center right next to Claire’s.
