Since Fushimi can't skateboard to save his life, let's say, he instead studies the physics and "tech" in skateboard creation. He researches the best materials for the grip tape, deck, trucks, wheels, bearings, hardware, bushings, everything. He researches the aerodynamics and best shape for the deck. He even researches the best paint or designs for the decks that won't wear out. And he always then upgrades Yata's skateboard(s) for him as a way to say that he might not exactly enjoy the same hobby as his boyfriend but it's hobby-adjacent and is his best effort to be a good boyfriend himself.

This kinda reminds me of Sk8 except I’m not sure how Fushimi became the Reki to Yata’s Langa XD This would be cute though, Fushimi trying to find a way to support his boyfriend’s hobbies in his own fashion. Like imagine post-ROK and maybe Yata’s been doing competitions and such so he’s really into his skateboarding now, treating it as a possible career. He likes to spend time just skating around and of course he’s tried to get Fushimi into it too, like something else they can do together, but somehow despite being ridiculously talented in like everything else Fushimi cannot skateboard to save his life. Yata tells him it’s fine, you can just watch me and give encouragement (Fushimi clicks his tongue and Yata’s like ‘I mean…as much as you’re able to anyway’). 

Fushimi secretly feels a bit down about this though, like this is something Yata enjoys and Fushimi can’t really do anything but watch. One day Yata’s practicing on the roof and one of his boards breaks, he sets it next to the couch where Fushimi’s watching him and goes to get a new board, sighing like I wish I could afford a really cool board. Fushimi looks at Yata’s broken board and starts thinking, like imagine he’s not even paying attention to Yata at this point and Yata gets a little exasperated like what’s so interesting about a broken skateboard. Fushimi just keeps looking at it, spinning the wheels idly and Yata sighs all I’ll leave you two alone.

A week or so later Yata hasn’t seen Fushimi much at all lately and assumed he must have been super busy with work. He’s surprised and kinda concerned when he finds out that Fushimi actually unexpectedly took the week off, like is he being ignored or something. Fushimi sends Yata a text to meet at Yata’s apartment and Yata’s a little apprehensive, wondering if he’s being broken up with. When he gets there though imagine Fushimi looking a little disheveled but happy as he presents Yata with a new skateboard. It looks different from any board Yata’s had before and Yata wonders if it was super expensive. Imagine him trying it out and it’s the best skateboard he’s ever ridden, like it’s so smooth and sturdy and fast it’s amazing, seriously how much did you spend to buy this Saruhiko. Fushimi gives Yata the kind of confident smile that reminds Yata of when they were kids as he says he made it.

Yata’s just in awe, like Saruhiko you really are amazing. He loves the skateboard, it’s his absolute favorite but he didn’t know Fushimi could make skateboards. Fushimi shrugs like it’s a simple matter of studying the structure and aerodynamics and applying your knowledge, Yata has no idea what most of that means but it sounds smart. After this Fushimi basically becomes Yata’s unofficial ‘mechanic,’ he’s always upgrading Yata’s skateboards and testing out new styles and feeling all gratified when Yata smiles at him so widely and calls him amazing. Yata loves this not just because he’s getting awesome new skateboards but also because now it feels more like skateboarding is something they’re doing together, like even if Fushimi can’t skateboard alongside him Yata feels like Fushimi’s always there with him.

I have some questions about karaoke night, Alex Hirsch. Very Important Questions. Which I will happily scream at a poor hapless baby triangle who can have no answers for me, and possibly also does not have object permanence yet.

Follow-up that is I guess suggestive, but let's be real here, Bill's a fucking triangle:

Dude slipped right into his birthday suit, lmao

this is so stupid :D

Anyway, I don't care what anyone says, this brilliant individual knows what's up - Bill is absolutely way more of a monsterfucker than Ford could or ever will be, full stop.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

Genuinely, and I mean this kindly, but learning to recognize bait and not engaging with it will change your fandom experience.

Yes, people do need to take accountability for the partners they choose to date, at least to some extent. And no, this doesn't apply to abusive relationships, that situation is entirely different.

I'm talking about white people who date other white people who are openly racist. I'm talking about "allies" who date other people who are openly homophobic and transphobic. I'm talking about liberal women who date very conservative men. And seeing bigotry as nothing more than a "political issue."

Of course, it's different if your partner lies and actively hides their political views from you. But if your partner is openly voting for people like Trump, openly supporting conservative politicians, openly hating/harming minority groups, then you should leave them. And you should be held accountable if you to choose to stay with someone like that.

"Good" Acting

i have a theory that a lot of people say acting is "good" when they're emotionally moved by it, and a lot of cishet white people have a lifelong habit of not listening or empathising when minoritised people speak, so minority actors get called "bad" even when they display some pretty fucking amazing technical skill

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.
