#like it’s in chapter 1

[whatevermakesyoubreak]

so i was watching hell’s paradise & i realized that these two are lowkey lira and illumi in a parallel universe, holy shit. like… the way senta loves and admires yuzuriha bc of her sense of freedom & admires her vivacious and carefree ways & the fact that she doesn’t lie to herself, takes no shame in her bloody, deception riddled career, and openly admits her selfishness. all while he’s doing the exact fucking opposite and forcing himself into a mold he doesn’t really fit in order to meet clan/family obligations?? ahhhh. it’s foreign, but also fascinating and admirable to him, his hands are just as soaked in blood as hers (well, kinda) but while the two women can manage to keep their smiles and their senses of selves despite the gruesome horrors they’re faced with, the men are cowardly at first glance and hidden behind layers and layers of masks (senta), or detached and disassociated from his emotions, but brutally efficient (illumi), both slowly but surely forgetting what it feels like to be human, let alone themselves, and they’re reminding the two men how to essentially live with themselves. not in an, “i can fix him!!” way, but LITERALLY by being their unfiltered and playful selves (even though these badass ladies both have real darkness underneath, but that’s besides the point) around them, and influencing them by literal proximity, essentially. but anyway, like— senta literally loves and admires yuzuriha to the point of envy due to her being everything he’s always needed to be??

THAT IS LIRA AND ILLUMI HELLOOOO???

(ok not obviously, because i clearly did not write hell’s paradise, but we’re just making fun comparisons here.)

my version of illumi and senta aren’t similar in the least, on the outside that is, but as i said, both have constantly lied to themselves, denied their true natures, and forced themselves into positions that are unnatural. senta had to become an executioner, while illumi quite literally had to gaslight himself into being a perfect assassin, the perfect son, etc. and convince himself that he had zero desires for his entire life, until that was quickly proven wrong in like, chapter 2. lol. my illumi has a sense of humor, genuine emotion, thoughts of his own, and a fucking attitude problem— but, it’s all covered up by a perfect mask of stoicism, the initial, almost reflexive spurning and avoidance of anything which might distract himself from that stoicism, and truly ignite his personal desires, as well as blind devotion to his duties. he split himself open and hollowed himself out long ago, but! he never, ever perfected the process, let alone completed it (i mean seriously, just look at all the zoldyck children, like?? NONE of them are ‘perfect,’ assassins by their OWN standards)— and frankly? i don’t think he wants to (in my story, at least). like— this man felt a whisper of connection/care with an equal/someone on his level that was (somewhat, given lira’s personality) genuine ONE TIME, and proceeded to absolutely FOLD, because he realizes that he is human (actually, the one who truly believes themselves to be an, ‘other,’ ‘subhuman,’ or, ‘inhuman,’ is actually lira, lmaooo narcissism go brrrr), that he does have needs and desires, and ultimately, illumi understands this, but he also knows he will immediately, instinctually reject any potential growth between them if he allows himself to dwell on these feelings, and he doesn’t want that. he wants them to stay just as they are and he is terrified to fuck it up— or, well, as terrified as illumi zoldyck could be, lol. instead, he ignores his feelings, or at least, keeps these thoughts buried deep within himself, constantly calling his relationship with lira a, “business relationship,” “partnership,” or, “companionship,” as opposed to what it actually is (while there is physical attraction there, illumi wants her and her abilities, and lira longs for a family, or just a place to call home— but they’re also acutely aware of this within eachother and they’re okay with it, as a relationship this twisted is genuinely the healthiest option for the two of them). however, despite them fully using each other, there is real connection and love there. illumi has already stated he admires how lira seems to have held on to a semblance of warmth, or something else intangible that he can’t quite put his finger on, despite her career, and yes, he is jealous of her, though he isn’t really aware of it. i believe that my version of him is surprisingly emotionally aware, but he still can’t quite understand that jealousy is the emotion he’s feeling— if that makes sense. especially since it’s not a poisonous, toxic jealousy, but more of, “omg i wish i was you so bad, you’re everything i’ve ever wanted to be, so i’m gonna do the next best thing and stalk u forever because i’m disgustingly obsessed with your entire existence and it’s better to bask in your light even if it makes me uncomfortable, than to ever be without you, bc that’s so much worse, and also have i mentioned that i literally want to cut you open and live inside your skin and become you yet? bc i do,” type shit. idk. i’m just rambling rn. idk if this even makes sense. go read sic infit on ao3 if this shit sounds fun to u. it’s linked in my pinned post.

ok bye. 🧍‍♀️

As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made

Excerpt from my new Steddie wip

Read full fic here

“Since you’re Grammy nominated artists now, I think We all know that’s going to open you up to a lot more people. Any celebrity crushes you’re hoping to meet?”

The guys all shot pointed looks at Eddie, Jeff being the first to say “Eddie has a huge crush on this one NHL goalie.”

Eddie felt his face slide into a pleased grin as he nodded. “Steve Harrington. Toronto Maple Leafs.”

The interviewers eyebrow crooked. “Oh yeah? You a big hockey fan.”

His mouth opened but Gareth beat him to it “No, you don’t understand. He had never watched a full game before this in his whole life. The only things he knows about hockey is what has to do with Steve.”

“Eddie, what’s a breakaway?” Jeff asks

Eddie shrugged. “No clue, dude.” Genuinely having no ideas what that meant.

“How many shutouts did Steve have last season?”

With no hesitation, “Five.”

i just threw out the love of my dreams

[shima-draws]

I’m not caught up yet but it still blows my entire mind that at the very end of BNHA—the last panel (in BOTH “final” chapters)—Shouto is looking directly at Izuku like he’s hung the fucking moon. Like he’s Everything. Like he’s ready to follow him to the ends of the earth. I don’t care WHAT y’all have to say about Izuku’s feelings but you cannot look at this and tell me there’s not something going on there, even if it’s one-sided

As a Tododeku stan I will take these crumbs and run with them. For miles. FOREVER

I’m gonna explode someone actually

Imagine Shen Yuan getting crammed not into Shen Qingqiu's body, but Shang Qinghua's. And the only reason he doesn't get noticed isn't because he's a good actor or manager/peak lord, but because literally no one gives enough of a shit about Shang Qinghua to even know how he usually acts in the first place.

They don't even bat an eye when he tries poaching a Qing Jing student for An Ding, because maybe Shang Qinghua's trying to outsource, y'know? Luo Binghe doesn't seem all that fond of his own shizun, anyway. Shen Yuan-as-SQH is still a "spy" for Mobei-jun, who sees him as a weird little guy but not the kind he's attracted to. (Though everyone else is now having the confusing, baffling discovery that they're lowkey into aforementioned weird little guy. He's suddenly... weirdly attractive???)

Meanwhile, Airplane-Shen Qingqiu largely gets away with not being discovered because he's A) a sneaky little rat bastard (affectionate), and B) the author of the series, and even if he doesn't remember every detail, he definitely remembers the goddamn main villain's backstory and behavior, thank you very much, Shen Yuan.

He is also too busy wondering how he could possibly catch Mobei-jun's eye now that he's not a spy to notice someone trying to abscond with his disciple-son.

That is to say, the chances of them all dying before the Abyss event even takes place is like. 99%.

I love how the fandom collectively agrees that Cho sam is either a wholesome bean that must be protected at all cost, or a normal dude with no(?) personality whatsoever outside of being normal. ( Maybe he's more of a troublemaker idk, but atleast he's less worse than chung myung heh-)

And whether you think he's confident or not, You just know he'll be scared shitless of what ever the fuck is going on in Mount Hua Sect.

Anyhow, no matter what cho sam's interpretation in your mind, I need more fics, and art of him- PLEASSE🙏🙏🙏
