A personal favorite highlight from a conversation we had tonight:
Them: "(speaking of constellations) would it surprise you to know that I have the Big Dipper tattooed somewhere on my body?"
Me: "So we have (a sword) on your thigh and the big dipper....somewhere? Any other tattoos I have yet to find out about? 😂"
Them: "I think you get to discover those for yourself 😉"
Me: "Good to know 😳😂. I'm definitely looking forward to discovering more about you 😘"

Crazy to me hiw timeskip Ignatz is suddenly... Like That. Bro is saying "no mercy" and "I wasn't about to let you go" like what happened to the guy who had a crit line apologizing to the enemy for what he was about to do??? Not saying it's bad or anything though, it's actually really interesting and I'd love to explore it in a fic sometime.
It's kind of fucked up if you really think about it? Like he's taught himself to stop seeing enemies as human (also haha that joke about that one Three Hopes expedition conversation where he doesn't like you saying human lives are important lmao) and while that's expected for someone who was always going to be fighting he was not supposed to be doing this. He started training to be a knight (and thus got roped into the war thing) because of his parents and he experienced shit he wasn't meant to experience and changed parts of himself to be completely at odds with how he is naturally.
Obviously this is a thing that happens all the time in war but I think what makes his case specifically stick out to me is that 1) he wasn't cut out for this life and shouldn't have even had to change that part of himself in the first place and 2) it's such a dramatic transition from how he was before. Like even, like, Bernadetta, who becomes (marginally) more confident over timeskip, has her voice lines more morph into stuff expressing newfound confidence rather than expressing... newfound lack of empathy for enemies.
Also shout out to his VA? (Unless he did something problematic I haven't kept up with that sort of thing in a while) More than any other character, his pre and post timeskip lines sound very different.
Actually it was hearing his timeskip voice that made me become a fan of the character because holy shit holy fuck man. Sorry this is now a #character thirst ask as well as a serious analysis as well, I guess. Hoooooly fucking shit. "I wasn't about to just let you go" sends shivers down my spine in more ways than one like oh my goddddd mannnn!!! I want him so bad you guys will never get it.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. TL;DR Ignatz's timeskip transformation has some really sad implications but it also makes him 10x hotter I want him so bad bro I'm on my knees I literally need this man so badly you don't understand me nobody understands me

I DID I DID I DID. I WAS LITERALLY SO MORTIFIED. I SAT THERE WITH MY HAND STILL LIKE HALF-SPLAYED NEAR THE SIDE OF ALL THAT BOOBAGE AND I WAS FUCKING HYPNOTIZED BRO. THAT SHIT HAD JIGGLE EFFECTS TOGGLED BC HOLY SHIT.
(also, say hi to your cat for me... i luv cats. biggest cat person right here. psppspspspspspspsps)
okay so we're alone. and immediately he asks me about the titty slap. and i get a lil defensive here, saying i meant to hit his shoulder and that he kept squirming so my hand slipped and blah blah blah
and the entire time i'm trying to plead my case, he's like . inching closer. and i Notice. oh BOY do i notice. and i say nothing until he's literally crouched over me and hoooooly fucking shit my heart is like POUNDING at this point
and it's tense for what feels like literally forever. i'm there frozen. starstruck. gazing into those stupid honey-brown eyes behind those stupid glasses and trying to ignore that stupid cocky smile
and he literally. he tenses up, looks away, and this is how our conversation goes:
"i'm- i'm sorry."
"...wh- sorry for what?"
"i just- i know this is like. going super fast, and we only properly met a few days ago, and you're- you're amazing, you're so fucking amazing and wonderful and just- you...and- and you deserve more than this, and-"
"sar, what-"
"-and i don't know if i can give you what you deserve because right now, all i want to do is kiss you. really hard."
more to come...........
STOP SOTP TIR AJ N AVAKAOSHVW NO. BAIA C BA
NOR RUW GLASSES. THE GLASSES. INCHING CLOSER.... HOVERONG OVE R YOU..... NO. BO WAY. IM GOING TO HIT MY HEAD AGAONSY THE WALL I LOVE THAG SHIT. STOP IT
AND THE SMILE..... OHHH I HATE IT. KISS THAT SMILE OFF HIS FACE. DAMMIT.
ANNDDD being worried that he's moving too fast????. that he can't give you what you deserve????? but still wanting you???? AHHHB STOP THIS IS MY JAM STOP IT THATS SO SWEET. IM CRYING. I LOCE THIS FOR YOU
#ykw. you reminded me.#i had this exact convo with my ex#bc i almost kissed him at school during recess but i didnt bc i was chicken n then his sibling walked in like 0.2 secs after i chickened ou#n then i apologized to him over textater bc i almost kissed him (HE DIDNT EVEN FUCKING KNOW WHAT I WANTED TO DO BUT I APOLOGIZED ANYWAY)#sigh.#my heart is full#✧ naeomi chats

one thing i’m worried about is mavs perimeter defense, but when you think about the fact that the celtics had a generationally mickey mouse run to the playoffs this year and realistically haven’t play real basketball in like a month, i’m not worried
meanwhile, the west was the fucking hunger games bro like luka and kai walked through fire. clippers, okc, and a wolves team that had just beaten the nuggets like hoooooly shit
if nothing, the mavs are for more prepared for this finals series than the celtics
I’ve only ever followed the WNBA and only started watching the NBA this season so i’m still tryna catch up on stuff… why does everyone hate the Boston Celtics 😭
what a QUESTION!
me? i’m a hating ass bitch
well first of all celtics fans are just wrong. audacity to call themselves a dynasty when their last ring was in 2008. both the other franchises that call themselves dynasties (lakers and warriors) have both won consistently in the past and won a ring in the last four years.
also the majority of celtics fans (not nivi and not my anon) are some of the most awful fucking ppl ever. they are racist, sexist, homophobic, all the shit. FUCK celtics fans bro

do you ever have that one fic you’ve read that none of your mutuals have ever read before and you just NEED to talk to someone about it because it occupies 97% of your headspace. it’s driving me bonkers!!!
that fic for me isn’t even mcyt related, it’s over the garden wall. but it’s SOOSOSO good like.. oh my god. this fic functions as a sequel to the tv series and by GOD does it do it justice. it’s one of the only completely non-romantic fics for otgw out there (just two brothers fixing their broken relationship in a return to the unknown). and. hoooooly shit. it’s practically an actual novel. it’s written so well and i’ve been obsessed with it for months. since april. and!! the wirt and greg dynamic!!! it’s so good!!! it reminds me of crimeboys ue ue ue
wirt goes to college and greg has to cope and as an older sibling what happens is actually just so well portrayed because yeah!! as the eldest child i DO see myself in wirt here. he is intelligent and cares for his brother but a little blind to the obvious at some points. that’s me!! that’s!!!
i just. O(-(
i’ll never get over this fic. i’ve read it 3 times all the way through. bro. the plot twist. it wrecked me. it came at me with the steel chair. it tore my heart out and then mended it back together. the hurt/ comfort. bro.
here’s the link, in case anyone actually read all that and is interested, but this was mostly just a tangent to get this weight off my chest haha. you don’t have to read it... unless 👀. /j /j. i jest.
but anyways yeah this fic is a fucking banger and probably in my top 3 favorite fics ever.
#rambles#no one has to read it i'm just ranting haha#to all my crimeboys dynamic enjoyers you would LOVE the wirt and greg brothers dynamic this fic has#long post#fic discussion#if for some ungodly reason someone DOES read it please come talk to me ufguhudru#im pretty sure im the sole occupant of people who still are tracking down otgw fics and are also invested in mcyt#its like that one meme#with the venn diagram#yknow?

Yo Hajime talk abt ur kin mems
since there were no specifications on which ones i am going to start from the beginning and go where my brain takes me from there. they're all gonna be for hajime bc i physically cannot think about my other memories anymore jsyk
also! this ended up being so long i had to put a cut. i will not be apologizing because i feel no remorse.
so first the basic stuff, i remember having a med skin tone and a FUCK ton of freckles like those motherfuckers were everywhere i had skin. also i was 5'7 i think?? or 5'6. i still can't remember exactly but it's something like that. i was also alloaro, some form of mlm, unfortunately cis, and autistic and probably had some other stuff like adhd or depression or whatever but i forgot. also i was kinda muscle-y but also chubby at the same time. and i had light green eyes. basically i was fanon hajime JSJSKDJDKS
and i was going over the wiki recently and my personality was EXACTLY how they described it like i'm genuinely surprised they got it so accurate
i don't remember much pre-game and post game, most of my memories are in game but i do remember pre game chiaki really well, honestly i rly miss her :( she would always reassure me that i didn't need a talent and i never even cared when she beat me in games cus just simply playing them with her was so fun .,.,,;:,,...,,!:&:&:jsjdjskskck</3
anyways. in game. ok. i'm gonna skip over memories where i just know feelings and not specific things like strong feelings or ppl saying stuff or else this would be so long. also obvious sdr2 spoilers
so i remember the party & blackout in the beginning of the game pretty clearly. i was mostly just standing alone in the corner and watching everyone have fun, but it was really freeing to see the others able to enjoy themselves in such pressing circumstances. then the blackout-- it was kinda like all that happiness going away and the dread and denial immediately setting in .
anyways i remember like panicking and wanting to cry when i lifted the table cloth cus i really liked twogami. i'm p sure i did end up crying cus i really liked them for their realism and leadership skills, and the realization that one of us killed them and that the killing game was actually real etc etc
anyway i don't remember much from the investigation or trial besides being really freaked out when nagito basically admitted to being the killer n stuff, and pretty much all the body discoveries after that (besides ch 5) we're just like "ah shit here we go again" but i do remember mikans trial really freaking me out when she just straight up shifted completely, and i also remember being really proud of fuyuhiko for putting his walls down a bit and deciding to help everyone out while the despair disease was going around
anyway enough of the boring stuff, i spent basically all my free time with komaeda, chiaki and mikan (in order of frequency) and with mikan i mostly listened to her talk about medical stuff and i comforted her when she needed to vent, but i didn't hang out with her much because the constant apologizing n stuff started to bother me since i really liked seeing her happy. chiaki i would mostly play games with and we wouldn't talk much, but she gave me a really strong sense of familiarity like when we played games together it gave me a shit ton of deja vu
AND i've already talked a lot about komaeda but idc i'm doing it again. so we started talking cus of him waking me up on the beach obvs and i was pretty attached right off the bat, but i stopped talking to him for awhile because the way he acted in the first trial REALLY scared me so i just got a pit in my stomach even being around him
but he was the one who started approaching me first, i'm guessing since he couldn't rly sense anything was wrong he just kinda picked things up where they left off and started talking w me at breakfast n stuff and it was pretty weird at first, but i wanted to give him a chance and didn't wanna be rude so i accepted offers to hang out in his cottage n stuff
i remember he has surgery scars tho and i'm rly mad ppl don't draw him with any!! i think he had about 5 and i don't remember all of them but i know one was a skin graft on his leg and the one on his side/stomach that i touched wassssss for appendix removal maybe???? mmmm i'm not too sure about that one tho
also !!!! his death. hoooooly shit. ok so yunno the despair that junko always talks about ?????? yeah <3!! i remember like once i saw his body and took the reality in i just. straight up could NOT stand i like fell to my knees and jsut . cried. like i had no thoughts my head was so full that it was empty i just kinda sat there and silent cried while chiaki stood next to me it was so awful dude
later while investigating n stuff i felt really bad ab how i treated him and thought about him, and i thought a lot about our last interaction. it was the first time i had ever approached him myself cus usually he'd come to me. i was gonna hang out with chiaki but i wanted to check up on him first, so i did and he told me to go hang out with the others and i just. knew something terrible was about to happen.
OH AND THE FUNHOUSE OMG ok i literally. i usually didn't mind being around komaeda like he was chill most of the time when he wasn't ranting about hope but when he was acting like such a bitch in the funhouse i wanted to punch his stupid twink ass so bad like...... what BUSINESS does this dude have being such an asshole. he doesn't even know what face wash is. what the fuck. which is another fun fact! komaeda did shower every so often which is why he didn't smell that bad but his skin was always so dry cus he didn't know how to actually wash right and do proper skincare so he just washed his face w soap and left it like that
also he didn't need to cut his nails cus they were so brittle they would just break off on their own <3 plus he had a nail biting habit so they just never grew ever
OH AND THIS IS THE SADDEST THING i remember feeling so bad for this man bc i would like put my hand on his shoulder and he would lean into it. i mean i'd tap his shoulder for a SECOND and girl when i let go hed be lowkey so sad i could just sense it like??????dude he needed a hug SSO BAD like when i hugged him in my cuddling memory he was like holding on for dear life but also was like "u dOnT hAvE tO tOuCh TrAsH LiKe mE hAjImE" like dude it was the saddest shit. i want to hug him forever. like what the fuck what the fuck!!!!!!!!!
also a thing hed do when he started ranting ab hope n shit like he would just go on and on and yunno that one sprite where he's hugging himself yeah he literally did that shit. also sometimes hed just stare dead at me and start backing me into a corner ((ish-- we were usually sitting somewhere but he mostly just got super close to me) and it was the scariest shit i. bro if i saw him like that on the streets i'd return him to the mental hospital like i can remember it somewhat vividly and that shit was TERRIFYING i mean obvs after i shoved him away and told him to cool it he'd apologize and go back to the way he was but jeez dude ....
also a little fun fact the only reason i really kept hanging out with him (i had a few ofc but this was the most prominent) is cus he was hot in my stupid monkey brain. yes that's it. like that's literally pretty much it. i hate admitting it but this post is SO fucking long i doubt anyone's gonna read it anyway so i'm admitting it now lol
anyway i hope u enjoyed :) i'm glad u asked btw! i'm sure you regret it though!
#do not fucking underestimate me#i feel like i'm not allowed to talk about myself in conversation so when i'm asked like this you're NOT hearing the end of it#kinblr#fictionkin#hajime hinata kin#nagito komaeda kin#putting this in tags bc theres so much and. i dunno ajdjdjsjdk#kin talk#ask#bestie neko 💕

Binge-Watching: Akudama Drive, Episodes 7-9
In which we find out what’s the deal with these kids, the world starts cracking under the pressure, and Swindler Gets. Shit. DONE.
Test Tube Children
With the Akudama’s mission coming to a close, it’s finally time to learn about the backstory behind Brother and Sister. And in typical Akudama Drive fashion, it’s utterly goddamn insane. Evidently, Kanto is hungry to unravel the secret to eternal life, and Brother was their first success, with Sister following shortly after. These kids were genetically bred from a test pool of thousands of subjects, cross-breeding specific genes until they resulted in a human with true immortality. One small problem, though; this process required the scientists behind it to splice thousands of different test subjects together until they found their match. So Brother isn’t just one immortal boy; he’s an amalgam of countless other kids who were sacrificed to make up his specific genetic chemistry. Is that in any way plausible? Probably not, but this is a show where bombs can create eternal storms miles across, so realistic science isn’t exactly what we’re looking for here. Hell, this is pretty much just Kamui’s backstory from Psycho-Pass 2, but in the kind of story where it actually belongs. There’s a fantastic visual when he learns this horrifying truth, and the bodies of his “siblings” who will eventually be amalgamed into Sister swirl beneath his feet like a whirlpool. It’s like the tank of Rei clones from Evangelion, driving home how disposable these empty shells are to the people who use them. Brother and Sister aren’t just escaping for themselves; they’re escaping for the countless siblings that live within them. And they’ll stop at nothing to get away where Kanto’s clutches can never find them.
World on Fire
Unfortunately, their plan to take a rocket ship up to the moon and survive in the cold vacuum of space runs into a little snag; there’s a traitor in their midst! Doctor’s sold them out to the Executioners, and in the resulting struggle, everyone is scattered to the four winds. What little bond was holding the Akudama together vanished the moment the bomb collars fell off, and their strong personalities proceeded to carry them in a million different directions. Looking back, it’s really impressive how this show’s embraced everyone’s chaotic motivations and let the characters follow their own paths. Hacker left the group early to try and reach Kanto, Brawler went down in a blaze of glory like he always wanted, Hoodlum’s so heartbroken by losing his Bro-friend For Life that he lets Doctor sweep him up in her schemes, Courier resolves to see this job through to the end and help the kids escape, and Cutthroat, cut loose from anything holding him back, descends into full madman territory and pursues Swindler like a vengeful stalker hell-bent on destroying the woman he covets. Honestly, the only character who’s confusing me at the moment is Doctor. She tells Hoodlum that her desire is to have control over everything, even death, and she sees the kids as her best opportunity to understand how to master death yet. But if that’s the case, why did she sell them out to the Executioners? Does she expect them to keep her involved in their experiments? Is that the kind of deal they made? I feel like I’m missing a critical piece of information that would help me understand how and why their goals aligned.
But it looks like that question might not get answered anytime soon. Because if you thought this show was chaotic before, then hoooooly shit you ain’t seen nothing yet. The moment the characters start down their separate paths, what little sense of stability this world had quickly starts falling apart. There’s an angry mob trying to overturn the justice system and executing perceived criminals left and right, Swindler is officially tagged as an Akudama and forced to go on the run, and it turns out even the freaking moon has been destroyed all along, another casualty of the war that was hidden by... magic light barriers in space, I think? Yeah, shit is getting absolutely buckwild. Even the TV mascot characters seem like they’re starting to fight their programming and trying to warn the people watching of the crimes committed by those in power. It’s like the very fabric of the world is coming undone at the seams, and everything is racing recklessly forward toward an ignition point that’s gonna burn everything down. Akudama Drive’s always been a wildly careening train, but now it’s starting to look like it’s actually gonna go off the rails. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad things, I don’t know. But it’s sure gonna be entertaining to watch.
The Talented Ms. Ripley
Still, if there’s one thing I can count on in this increasingly chaotic world, it’s Swindler herself. I mentioned last time that she was the heart of the group, holding fast to hope and sincerity even as she was surrounded by jaded assholes. But now that the group’s fractured and she’s been forced on the run with Sister, she’s lost in a world she no longer understands. She used to hate Akudama just as much as any good citizen, but after forming such close bonds with them and being branded as one herself- not to mention witnessing the brutality of the Executioners who supposedly protect the people- she doesn’t know what to believe anymore. All she knows is that these kids don’t deserve the hell they’ve been put through, and if there’s a chance she can still get them to safety, that’s a chance worth taking. Which means it’s time for her to roll up her sleeves, cut her hair to a stylish pixie cut, and step up to be the badass capable of thwarting Kanto’s plans.
It’s time for the good girl who never swore before to go full Mama Bear Action Hero.
And sweet buttery muffins in a hot tub, it is awesome. Watching Swindler embrace her inner Ellen Ripley made me root for her harder than I’ve ever rooted for her before. She’s wasting shitheads left and right! She gets in visceral, bare-knuckle fights and caps motherfuckers in the face! She stirs up a revolution to break into Executioner headquarters and revels in the rush of power it gives her! She goes head to head with an unhinged Cutthroat, punches straight through her own paralyzing terror and makes him burst into a shower of his beloved red! Holy shit, her entire fight with Cutthroat was insane. From the freaky shaded lighting to the mountain of bodies he laid out for her, from his Here’s Johnny moment in the bathroom to Swindler getting the drop on him at last (”I was lying!” “Go figure.”), she absolutely fucking earned that win. But turning into a badass doesn’t destroy her positive attitude either; if anything, it only makes her optimism stronger. She’s risen to the challenge before her and refused to give up on doing the right thing, no matter how rough the road ahead might seem, And I love the banter she forms with Sister as they learn to trust each other (”Big sis isn’t full of shit!”) Thanks to Swindler, Sister’s learning how to be human, to cry when she feels sad and ache when she feels pain, to value her needs as more than just cargo. And I swear to god, that moment where Sister imitates Swindler burping after a meal was so fucking adorable I think I god diabetes. This is the shit I live for in big stupid action spectacles; the moments of heart and humanity that suck you in beyond the flashing lights. However Akudama Drive ends, I can’t wait to see how Swindler perseveres to the finish line. Something tells me she’s not done surprising me yet.
Odds and Ends
-So this is a city from Old Kansai that was specifically built to survive the war so new generations could learn about their culture from it. Neat.
-”What’s with that faded red?” “Normally we call that orange.” pfft
-Man, this world is so broken we’ve even forgotten about amusement parks and space travel. That’s wild.
-This headmaster is like a glittering HAL 9000 and I don’t know how to feel about that.
-”That’s what they get for giving an AI compassion.” So the cat robot was their overseer? And he gave himself over to Brother? Huh.
-”It’s better to die when you’re killed.” Cutthroat and Shirou would get along.
-”There’s always the one guy who comes back late from lunch break.” akjdhskjdhasd fucking hell Doctor
-oh my fucking god that raspberry was such a Kumiko noise
-Ooh, they changed Swindler’s hair in the intro! Neat.
-”It tastes like shit.” “Hey, we’re eating here.” aklsasdkjas
One more session to go. See you next time for the grand finale of Akudama Drive!
