Does anyone else think abt this or is my brain too rotted

[nebuladreamz]

The voices are loud and I am WEAK

[almayver]

Alma,,, you have inflicted in me the greatest pain. You cannot just say “hanahaki phumpeem” AND THATS IT

Like LIKE CUEHDJW I’m a SUCKER for that kind of unrequited but not really pining. The person enters such a deep mindset of “it’s over, i have no chance anymore they will never feel the same now.”

And Phum??? Phum would totally enter such a mindset when Kluen comes into picture. In such little time, so very powerful, his insecurities and his inner conflict were already pretty strong in canon IMAGINE. JUST IMAGINE FURTHER WITH ME.

He catches it at the beginning. It’s loose, it’s just some coughing at first. In the first day of camp. Some phantom feeling of something being caught in his chest, uncomfortable.

Then the “charming prince” goodnight kiss happens and he goes to sleep feeling a bit better (yet its all in his head because once hanahaki takes grip of you only acertain, irrevocable confession will kill it)

And now I just imagine the next day. The “phum hurts his finger” day. And I imagine his inner struggle in that scene, the distraction isn’t what makes him hurt himself. Now I imagine him spiraling in that scene where they clean up, and suddenly he’s overwhelmed with coughs. Such powerful coughs that the hammer slips and hits his finger and still hurts him, but now Fang and Peem and the others are rushing to his side because Phum can’t stop coughing and wheezing for breath.

No flowers yet, but he feels them in his throat and he’s so panicked. He grabs at Fang’s arm without even realizing and Fang is losing his goddamn mind, Beer is calling his name over and over again. And Peem? Peem is in such distress that his hands are trembling a bit.

It’s safe to say that in this version Fang doesn’t really leave Phum’s side. When Peem offers to take care he gently refuses it and takes Phum outside so he can calm down for real. And Peem respects it because Fang has that severe overprotectiveness all over his face, his posture.

Phum ends up on those stairs upside, non verbal while Fang dresses up the wound on his finger and gently asks him “What happened? Phum, please talk to me?”

But Phum can only shake his head and croak, “I don’t know.”

Fang cups his cheek and turns his head to check his breathing, then clicks his tongue in exasperation because he doesn’t have his phone with him and he needs to give his brother water. Phum’s throat sounds fcuked up.

So he says, “I’m going to run and grab a glass. Stay here, okay? I’m coming right back. In a second, okay?”

Phum nods, a bit unsure about being alone, but Fang all but bolts off the stairs so he knows his brother won’t take long.

Cue Peem, who couldn’t help but come out to check on Phum despite Tan’s reassurances that he’s in safe hands. When Phum spots him, his face crumbles in the most devastating way and his hushed, quivery “Peem.” makes Peem all but rush to his side, hands warm and steady as they also cup his cheek, his neck to check his breathing.

Peem wants to ask what happened, he wants to know if Phum ever had something like this happening to him again. He wants to ask so many fuccking things because Phum looked so in pain back there.

But he ends up just muttering, “You’re alright. You’re alright.”

He doesn’t know if it’s a reassurance for Phum, or for himself. But it makes Phum bury his face right against Peem’s collarbone, breaths starting to get shaky again, so he doesn’t care for who it is, he just continues to whisper you are alright until they both stop trembling.

Fang finds them like that, and he offers them a mellow expression of aching fondness.

God Alma i’m so abnormal about this. SO ABNORMAL.

I imagine the first time Phum starts actually coughing petals is after his argument with Peem the night of the campfire. When Phum foolishly brings up the deal and Peem tells him “just because i’m your slave doesn’t mean I can’t talk with other people” (paraphrased of course)

He leaves the room, sees Q wating for Peem outside, and quickens his pace. He barely makes it on the path towards the sleeping shed when the coughing starts, so aggressively that he falls on his knees, bloody petals spilling onto his quivering palms.

I don’t know if when he meets up with Beer in the sleeping shed he still has bloody hands and blood at the corners of his mouth, but I imagine that would give Beer the scare of his fucking life.

I feel like Beer would know about hanahaki for some reason. I feel like he would gently but morose that what he’s going through is named “hanahaki” and its… very hard to cure. And that he should talk to Peem. Immediately. Before it worsens. But Phum is so out of it about that— of course he gets sick the first time he feels so strongly for someone. Of course it’s for Peem.

Of course he’s coughing roses. Like the ones he bought for Peem the night he was drunk.

Phum is mostly concerned that he hurt Peem. He still asks Beer for advice on that. And Beer is exasperated, but he’s also so gentle as he gives Phum the exact same advice from the series. Apologize.

“But talk to him, after that.” Beer puts a hand on his shoulder, squeezing reassuringly. “You need to, Phum. This can be very dangerous for you.”

But when does this happen??? Well it could in many instances. I feel like Phum wouldn’t talk to him about it when he apologizes and almost ends the deal.

I feel like he would have another coughing fit in Peem’s room, actually. Because that scene is playful, and Phum looks teasing, he looks like he knows how Peem feels about him, maybe, but in that scene Peem also deflects a lot, even if it’s somewhat playful. And that could be a trigger for hanahaki for sure.

Damn. Phum pushing Peem on the bed, coy smirk still on his face. But then he’s overcome with coughing, right over Peem. And Peem startles so hard he ends up yanking Phum on the bed.

YEA I WILL LEAVE IT HERE THIS IS EATING AWAY AT ME LIKEEEEEE FUCCCCKKK

Cole you come back right here what do you mean you leave it there.

But on the other hand hey, how do you want me to deliver my fucking soul because it's yours after this. Yes! Yes to everything. You get it

OF COURSE IT WOULD BE ROSES. OF COURSE. HOW DIDNT I THINK ABOUT THAT DETAIL

And the fact that roses in hanahaki normally tend to be the ones you get when its particularly intense??

Imagine them being that deep blood red. Gods gods gods

And Beer. Beer being heartbroken. Beer being terrified. Beer remaining calm anyways. Beer the absolute love of my life. And imagine Fang finding out??? The terror he would feel? How he would feel guilty even, because he didn't protect him even though how do you protect someone from love. And I imagine he would want to storm towards Peem house and make him confess (because he knows Peem loves his brother. He knows it and he is going to be happy about it when all of this is over)

And Phum of course refuses. Makes him promise not to tell anyone. Not to even mention it to Tan. And he looks so much like the little desperate kid that left on that plane and made him promise not to forget him that Fang caves in and tells him that he'll keep it a secret but if it gets too bad he is stepping in.

And gods imagine Phum now avoiding Peem, half so he doesn't notice the petals half because being near him hurts even when it's his favorite thing in the world. And Peem of course it's going a little mad because the puppy that used to trail him around is not there anymore and whenever he actually sees him Phum looks so sad? So defeated? And Beer and Fang keep looking at him, also so sad but also hopeful but also desperate and he is so fucking confused and a little hurt and a lot scared.

Aaaaand I also have no idea where to go from there. How bad it would get. What the reveal and the confession would be like. How the rest of the group would be affected like Toey, Mick but also the rest of the group because they also care about Phum by now. AHHHHH.

Oh gods the image of him in his bed, thinking about Peem, holding Noi. And suddenly he starts coughing. And the plushie, his beloved plushie, covered in petals and blood. Someone help

Cole dear thank you for taking my random thought and running with it 🖤🖤🖤 I bring a bucket of sand and you make it the coolest sand castle every time

TMAGP and Power Imbalance

This maybe nothing but me conspiracy boarding again but does anyone else think that imbalance of power is a huge thing in TWO Externals now?

First Lady Mowbray, who is rich, a full aristocrat, and hires a catering company, automatically imbalancing the two in terms of social class and the customer holding power over the producers, and hunts them for sport, as well as watching them hunt each other: power between hunter/hunted and watcher/watched AS SEEN IN TMA.

And Ink5oul, who mentions at a few points feeling superior to the people they tattoo.

Exhibit A: 'So I lied and showed him a safer, tacky magic-shop design that he loved to get him on the table. After all, once he was face-down, I could put whatever I liked into his skin. Don’t forget: I’m the artist. He was just the canvas.' (TMAGP 20, Social Stigma)

Exhibit B: 'I know it was around the same time I started craving… “the look” more. Not the pleasure in a client’s eyes when they see their new skin, but the one I saw just before they went under: terror. Helplessness. And the certainty that they would wake up changed in a way they could not understand. It filled me up in a way… ' (From TMAGP 20, Social Stigma)

Often they refer to clients as 'the canvas' signifying a dehumanisation of their clients into objects for 'their' brilliance.

I may only be talking about this because it fits my theory that the Powers in this universe are linked to imbalance, in line with the alchemy theming of this show. But if I'm right it would be Fantastic.

Me: I'm normal

Also me: Lawali gifting a nude portrait ( probably a specific scene ) to his SO sometime after they've had sex ( im talking MONTHS later ) because he's spent the entire time worshipping and studying them to such a degree, that he truly knows each scar, each dimple, each curve, each line--each and every thing on their body by heart.

He knows it well enough to recall it from memory so he can show his SO exactly how he sees them, whether that be pressed against the sheets under them, holding themself above him, or pressed up against some surface that would offer them purchase. Appreciation practically vibrates through Lawali's entire being.

Me:

Me: anyway--

It's a beautiful day and I am a horrible goose.

So chapter 5 of ‘The People We Think We Know’ is almost done so don't worry, but I’ve had a brain worm for a one or two-shot Iruka x Reader that is the oblivious!Sunshine x infatuated!Grumpy trope, with the Reader being the Grumpy one of the two that goes something like this:

Reader is tall (like 6'4"/1.94m) and intimidating (with a heavy RBF)

To give you an idea of how they would seem intimidating with their height, most of the Konoha shinobi are about 5'10"/1.78m or shorter

(For ref: Iruka is 5'10"/1.78m, Kakashi is 5'11"/1.81m, Guy is 6'/1.84m)

Reader is seen as pretty desirable by other shinobi. There are a lot of people that have tried to woo them, but they have been generally uninterested

Reader hadn’t met Iruka yet since they primarily take a lot of high-ranking escort missions outside of Konoha

Meets Iruka for the first time at a large jounin/chuunin mixer at a bar:

Iruka: Hi, it’s lovely to meet you! *big, sweet smile* Reader (internally): Oh…I guess I need to go buy a ring now.

Reader shows some interest in him, chatting him up some and subtly asks him on a date

After Iruka leaves, Reader takes a nonchalant sip of their drink and just blankly says: I’m gonna fuck that man

Everyone loses it:

Anko is whooping and starts chugging everyone’s drinks Kurenai is shaking Asuma back and forth Asuma spat his drink all over the table Kakashi is mentally blue-screening Gai is…well being Gai Kotetsu and Izumo are screaming Genma nearly swallows his senbon toothpick

Then everyone is like why Iruka?:

Reader: ????? 1. Financially responsible 2. Stable job 3. Great with kids 4. Mentally and emotionally mature 5. Good moral compass 6. Didn’t try to woo me when we first met Ergo: perfect man

Reader starts to go on dates with Iruka, but Iruka thinks they are just hangouts:

Iruka (internally): Ah, there’s no way this successful, kickass, and amazing person would be interested in someone like me. Reader (with a wedding ring burning a hole in their pocket): No, no, you aren't boring me and I have nothing to do today (is absolutely shirking the thing they're supposed to be doing today). Please, tell me more about how you developed Konoha’s early development program for our child education system on your own.

If there is a parent or someone bothering Iruka, Reader will just come up from behind Iruka’s shoulder and glare at the person with an intimidating “is there something wrong here?”

Reader absolutely is the one to propose first:

Iruka: We haven’t even dated yet! Reader (still on one knee with the ring out): All of our hangouts have been dates. Iruka: ??? No they weren’t–…WAIT A MINUTE

Just overall, the Gomez and Morticia Addams dynamic, but Reader is Gomez and Iruka is Morticia
