Average Drama Enjoyer observes some peak drama.

mmmm musical cultivator shen yuan again. Feng Xuanlu, the Wind Song. He has this well-loved wooden pipe he inherited from is adoptive father that he uses on occasion. When the traveling day gets slow and he doesn't feel like singing, when he's stressed, when night falls and he's sitting around a fire with his troupe and they've all had a little bit to drink.

His hair is long and black, always tied up into a ponytail or a braid of some sort. When he's in camp he loosens it up until its splayed messily over his shoulder. He has crows feet around his eyes that scrunch up when he smiles. His eyes are bamboo green and his hands are rough and callused from years of plucking strings and work. He has scars on his back that he won't explain the origins of.

His voice is low and warm like a fire, it gets raspy in the mornings or when he's been humming or singing for too long. He speaks like there's sunshine dripping off his tongue. He speaks soft, he speaks and his voice takes up the entire room. He's spent over a decade hearing his praises getting sung and he still gets shy over it sometimes.

Whenever he goes into town he has to have at least three other musicians with him at all times -- not his decision of course, but the unanimous choice of his companions. Shen Yuan gathers admirers everywhere he goes, and his companions have long since learned that their dear friend and leader is completely unaware of it. So they have to beat off these suitors with sticks.

you know i think derry girls is a case study in perfect world building. all these tiny details of cultural habits, from northern ireland in the 90s, to derry, to being 15/16/17 at this time, are shown in such natural and relatable ways that you just get immersed so effortlessly. like the whole fionnula episode?? a masterpiece

No, really it's fine, there's just some (literal) dust in my eye.

So, due to the many parallels between her and Akane, Narukami being involved, and the ages (kinda maybe, I dunno) lining up, would Nanako make an appearance in P5SI?

Also, I have nothing but love for the concept, I was just curious. Thank you, and have a nice day! ^^

nanako would maybe make an appearance over a call or something in narukami's s.link at most due to yknow. being in inaba, but i imagine narukami bringing her up a lot in s.link events! p5si takes place in the 2019-2020 school year, so nanako would be a 1st year at yasogami at this point in time. just a year behind akane

it fascinates me how often a choice of first or - gasp - second person storytelling can create so much derision and discourse. having preferences is fine obviously, and as a writing choice it Does matter, because all writing choices matter. i don't really... notice?? anymore??? or like, i DO notice, but more in a "what information will the narrative give me access to" kind of way.

i know second person especially can be jarring if you're not used to it, because it's "he would not fucking say that" but for yourself. but it's also like... so many song lyrics have "you" and "i" and to me they're just. a story that exists separate from me. (to the degree lyrics exist to me at all as something other than Sounds that are part of a music piece, but that's the audio processing disorder/'did not grow up with english as a first language and never bothered to decode lyrics' of it all speaking)

i suspect a lot of derision towards first person narratives comes from a derision towards the genres in which it is a staple, rather than that it's somehow uniquely bad. there's really not much difference between a first person perspective and limited third person perspective??

WELCOME BACK!

I'm so happy I got inspiration for this AU again honestly, brings back good memories

And I was honestly so surprised so many people are still interested??? Wow

I can't stop thinking about like. Post Batman vs the TMNT movie there's some sort of crisis in New York, so Batman sends some of his team to help, and tells them to meet up with his "contacts" in the area. Let's say Dick, Jason, Steph, and Tim, so it can be a Robin roadtrip and not include anyone who's met the turtles before. They keep calling them "the turtles" but no one ever actually explains what their deal is. Babs apparently chats with one of them online fairly frequently. Damian will only say that they were "surprisingly formidable" and reminds the travellers not to shame Father's name in front of their allies. Apparently someone named "Young Master Michaelangelo" is the one who gave Alfred that skateboard that's inexplicably been put on display. Bruce FINALLY explains that they're the last surviving members of the Hamato ninja clan, and thus the world's only practitioners of an ancient style of ninjutsu. Their "ways are rather strange," but Bruce found them to be "dedicated and trustworthy."

So the Robins roll up to New York expecting some stoic ninja masters, and instead end up in a sewer surrounded by chaos teens and a geriatric rat.

"Are you... meta humans?"

"Nope! We started out as normal turtles and got mutated by a toxic green ooze :D"

when eddie decides to dip his toe in the dating pool again can we Please get a scene where they’re at buck’s loft with maddie and chim eating takeout and eddie’s lamenting how awful modern dating is and retelling a string of failed dates while he and buck are very domestically like, sharing food and preparing each other’s plates. and eddie’s like ‘i just want someone i can feel comfortable with, you know? someone who’s good with chris. someone i can trust and just- build a life with” and buck is nodding along like, “tell me about it. you’re preaching to the choir, man.” meanwhile maddie and chimney are watching them in disbelief bc they are literally describing their own dynamic and then we get the flipped version of buck’s ‘seriously guys, you’re a couple’ speech from 2x08 but to buck and eddie instead and maybe they don’t get together right away but by the end of the ep they acknowledge that feelings might be there and maybe one day when they’re ready they’ll take that leap thus completing the madney/buddie parallels and bringing us full circle from ‘buck, actually’ because “maybe the greatest love stories aren’t the ones that end in tragedies, maybe they’re the ones that start with a second chance.”

[thethiefandtheairbender]

the moralization of love as a motivation and survival as justification in fiction will always be baffling to me, tbh. characters do terrible things in the name of genuine love all the time. characters do terrible, necessary things to survive all the time. that doesn't mean any of those things aren't traumatic. that doesn't mean any of those things aren't a tragedy. if you lean into that more encompassing headspace, you will get a more fleshed out book worldview and more interesting, nuanced characters, i promise.

Feels like the lads LIs each have a different part of the planet they're connected to and i love that. From the top to bottom, Xavier has the outer space and stars to him, Caleb has the air and atmosphere, zayne has the earth with it's mountains and all, rafayel has the seas and oceans, and sylus has the underground with magma all around.

I started sketching this as soon as I read this scene. like I actually backed out and opened medibang just to sketch it before continuing to read LOL

it's ok y/n, we're all deeply unwell for that stupid man. I want to chew on him and savor him like the juiciest slab of meat.
