[morphogenetic]

love how my two modes are apparently:

1. has no time for hobbies, is stressed

2. has way too much time for hobbies, is equally stressed bc the hobbies need to be done to perfection and so they do literally nothing instead

hi hi! hope your day is going well so far. how about 9 and 10 for the twst ask game! :)

hey! 💜 i'm doing all right, i hope you're having a great day as well. also, i'm going to have to try not to ramble too much on at least one of these haha.

9. what is your favorite outfit?

okay, when i first saw this i briefly thought "oh that's gonna be difficult, there's so many gorgeous outfits between all the different cards"... but then it hit me. instead of trying to look back at every outfit in twisted wonderland and overthink this, i'm just gonna name the one that's most blatantly my aesthetic: the starsending robes.

i just find them so pretty. stargazer gear ortho's groovy is my laptop background right now. but i also wanna give shoutouts also to summer riddle, pop music club lilia (which i especially have a soft spot for because i've cosplayed it), fairy gala ortho, rabbit wear deuce, masquerade idia... and, i'll stop here because like i said, twst has lots of gorgeous outfits and if i keep going i'll be listing way too many. but yeah, i love outerspace-themed things and i love the dark blue + gold color combo, so naturally i love the starsending robes.

10. what is your favorite special event?

it's glorious masquerade, without a doubt! i read glomas way back when i first got into twst, through a fan translation way before it had been released on EN (and also through your translations of some of the vignettes because i couldn't find them anywhere else at the time, so thank you for that!), and i was so excited to see it get localized because i just loved it--mainly because of how epic and plot driven it is compared to most other events, and because of what it does for idia's development since he's one of my favorite characters! the way that he tries his best to enjoy himself and talk with everyone during the trip because he wants to be able to tell ortho that he had a good time, even though he's still so anxious about it, and the way he was brave enough and had grown enough to be able to look at rollo and say "i understand you because i was a lot like you, so i know that what you're doing is wrong", made me so proud of him.

but also, it's just a really fun event story. i love the jamil & ruggie team-up, the interactions between riddle and epel, malleus being both badass and kind of adorable at different points in the story (in fact, his role in glomas made me appreciate him a lot more than i previously had!), idia's interactions with characters like silver and azul, getting to hear the SSR trio sing together, and just about everything in between. i thought it was so cool to see a hunchback of notre dame-inspired event and all the movie references (and a reference to the original book with rollo having a dead brother!) in it, too. a couple runner-ups that i love would be fairy gala remix and the phantom bride/ghost marriage event.

thank you for your ask! and i hope i didn't end up rambling on too much about question number 10 lol.

(for this ask game)

Fooled Around and Fell in Love (ao3) - Sissygirl321 gamora/peter T, 5k

Summary: Peter never could think things through before he did them. Most guys probably had the speech prepared beforehand. And the ring. He didn’t even have a ring. Why had he decided to do this again?

“Peter?” He blinks, looking back up at Gamora again. Oh, right. He was doing this because he loved her and they’d been through so much shit and dammit they deserved to be happy so why not? That’s why.

“Will you marry me?”

Or: The one in which questions are asked, plans are made, and knots are tied.

Las Vegas, October Two Thousand Nine (ao3) - endlesstwanted sharon/maria G, 100

Ring Pop (ao3) - LiviKate steve/bucky T, 2k

Summary: The first time Bucky hears about same-sex marriage, it's right after the Supreme Court decision, legalizing it for the whole nation. Funny, Steve never mentioned anything.

Summary: Kate wants to show Yelena a proper American Halloween, and what better way to do it than by taking her to the capital of American excess, Disney World? She's got big plans -- character cosplay, Halloween snacks, fireworks, parades, and of course trick-or-treating.

Yelena isn't sure exactly what the point of this holiday is, but she does know it makes Kate happy, and as far as she's concerned, that's the Prime Objective. But just to be sure...she's got a surprise for Kate at the stroke of midnight.

Tell me again (ao3) - Spidergwenstefani bucky/clint G, 4k

Summary: '‘Marry me,’ he signs, grinning, and Clint snorts, pressing his nose into Bucky’s chest. Bucky smells like detergent. Like aftershave and cologne. He smells like a functioning adult. Like a guy that comes home in his sensible SUV, gives a hello kiss to his wife and two-point-five kids. Clint smells like wet dog and smoke.

He should probably tell Bucky not to joke like that. That it’ll only make the sting worse when the clock runs out on how long they can keep this whole thing up. But Clint is a little selfish and a lot tired, so he just kisses the strange look off Bucky’s face instead.'

AKA Clint is slow sometimes, and stubborn always. Good thing Bucky's patient. This is for Anon who asked for hurt/comfort. I think I did alright on the comfort, at least.

the answer is always yes (ao3) - svgurl410 steve/tony T, 1k

The Good Knight and the Evil Fairy (ao3) - Dreamin darcy/steve T, 743

Summary: It's the Avengers Halloween party and Steven has a question for his lady.

The Match-making Bench (ao3) - lilyfarseer clint/phli T, 4k

Summary: Phil's favorite bench is gone from its spot. No big deal, it was just a bench, right? As he's walking through SHIELD, he overhears someone talk about how they had a bench magically appear in their favorite sitting spot. When the voice rounds the corner, Phil is faced with a fantastic ass on a hot guy, who loses his paperwork all over the floor. He meets the guy again when they and the Black Widow go on an op together that result in Agent Barton becoming injured. To keep Barton in the present, Phil askes him about his bench. Barton asks him to a coffee date instead. Well, sort of. More like Romanoff told Barton he had to take Phil on a coffee date before showing his 'special spot'. Phil is now intrigued. He hadn't really bargained for the rest of it.

The Wedding of Bucky Barnes (ao3) - stephrc79 steve/bucky T, 67k

Summary: This is the story of how an instagramming, trolling, pain in the ass got married to an equally annoying, artistic, bossy, stubborn blond oaf.

We're All Made of Stars (ao3) - MoreThanAFeeling (Daretodream66) steve/bucky T, 21k

[lordpopuko]

I don't know why your blog name is "Lordpopuko" but coupled with your profile pic I always picture you as a benevolent ruler of meme country, kinda like Yasmine from Aladdin but instead of a tiger with Snofle at your side, making sure that every citizen or visitor is cared for.

but why did you call yourself that? Is there a Lore behind it?

#ask.revival 2024

hoNESTLY thats a very real image of popuko i feel!

im currently matching both icon and username with @lordpipimi my irl bestie !! we both love LOVE love pop team epic, where pipimi and popuko is from! its a four panel manga that we've also cosplayed from together, and both have an altar for the characters in our homes LMAO!!!

the lord is just for fun, because the two characters exude that kind of energy. theyre incredibly chaotic and messy, and the humor is very much the two of us when we're together!

30-Day Anime Challenge: 8-Year Review

I'm re-looking at the 30-Day Anime Challenge that I did in Nov 2014 to see how my choices have progressed or stayed the same since then.

I'm not going to post one per day like before. Gonna lump everything in one post.

Day 1 - Very First Anime

Answer is obviously still the same.

---

Day 2 - Favourite Anime Couple

Still the same answer… I don't really ship characters so no favourite anime couple. I would still pick Chacha and Riiya as it's nostalgic.

---

Day 3 - Favourite Anime OP

Still don't have a single favourite pick, but if I were to pick a few more recent ones:

Hatanaka Tasuku - Dying Wish (Yuukoku no Moriarty/ Moriarty the Patriot) Official HIGE DANdism - Crybaby (Tokyo Revengers)

I still like the ones I picked back then but I haven't got to listen to Trigger bc iTunes was an arse years back.

(Rant ahead) Idk how but I had Apple Music activated. I never used it. At the end of the trial period that I didn't realise was active, iTunes deleted the music I had in my iTunes folder that weren't bought from the iTunes store, which means many of the songs from my physical CD collection were GONE. I haven't had the time or energy to dig the CDs out and rip them again. It would be very time-consuming to do it. A big chunk of my music collection is still missing. I don't use Spotify either so I haven't got to properly enjoy the music from the CDs I have. (Rant end)

---

Day 4 - Anime Characters You Would Like as Best Friend

I considered Free! characters back then, but tbh I don't really have much in common with them. I can't swim at all which is a major point of difference.

I would consider Amane Hikaru (David) from Prince of Tennis as he's funny and I would laugh even at the lamest puns he'd come up with. He's not a character I was into when I was in my early 10s, but if I were to have picked up the series later, I think Amane Hikaru would have become one of my favourites.

---

Day 5 - Anime You're Ashamed You Enjoy

Still the same answer-- why would I be ashamed? If I still had to pick, it would be an ero comedy series that I have only a vague memory of. Not ashamed per se, just that I wouldn't spontaneously bring ero anime up in regular conversation.

---

Day 6 - Anime Character You Would Like to Cosplay As

At the time of writing back then, I had stopped cosplaying for a couple of years. For the same reason that I wrote then (money), it has stayed that way.

If I were to cosplay again, one of my picks would be Juniper Woods (Ace Attorney) because I could wear her outfit as casual wear so it wouldn't be 'wasted' as a rarely worn outfit. But it's not from an anime tho.

So I guess my pick would be Popuko (Pop Team Epic) because my close friend recently asked me to be Popuko to her Pipimi.

---

Day 7 - What Anime Character Would be Your Workout Buddy?

Still similar answers. Can I just cheat and go with Doraemon?

---

Day 8 - What Crossover Would You Like to See?

Still the same answer which I'm copy-pasting here:

"Hoozuki no Reitetsu x Jigoku Sensei Nube

I believe it’ll be hilarious (◉ ౪ ◉)"

(new addition: Chainsaw Man x Fire Punch if we wanna get violent)

---

Day 9 - Your First Anime Crush

Still the same answer. Riiya, Nueno Meisuke, Hiwatari Kai.

---

Day 10 - Anime that Changed You

Still the same answer as back then for the same reason. Otherwise, nothing really life-changing.

---

Day 11 - Do You Like Yaoi/Yuri

Still the same answer. I'm ok with it. I wouldn't seek out yaoi/yuri-themed series the same way I wouldn't seek out any straight couple romance series unless the plot's interesting. I've just never been into the romance genre.

---

Day 12 - Favourite Music in an Anime

Still the same. Hard to pick. Still love my OST collection, but I haven't been able to enjoy them because (refer to the Day 3 rant).

---

Day 13 - Favourite VA/Seiyuu

Mostly the same answers (yes Saiga, yes Hosoya), but goodbye childhood memory of Sakurai Takahiro LOL.

There are many more I enjoy. One of my recent top favourites is Hayashi Yuu, whom I enjoy watching eat spicy food on his YT channel.

---

Day 14 - Anime Character You Hate

Still none really. There might be some off-putting characters but none as off-putting as real life ones.

---

Day 15 - Most Epic/Shocking Scene

There might be newer content that I can't immediately think of, but the most memorable is still the same answer as before: the moment when Shishio stabs through whatshernameiforgot in Rurouni Kenshin, which I watched when I was 8 years old.

---

Day 16 - Favorite Canon Couple

Still the same answer. I don't ship characters together, so I guess I'd still pick Sakura and Syaoran. Maybe add Loid and Yor to the list now too.

---

Day 17 - Who do you ship?

Same answer. I don't ship.

---

Day 18 - Favourite Anime ED

No top pick, but recent ones I enjoyed

Ohara Yuiko - Kaze to Iku Michi (Mushoku Tensei) Stereo Dive Foundation - Omega (Yuukoku no Moriarty / Moriarty the Patriot) TRD - Strangers (Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu/ The Vampire Dies in No Time)

I still like the ones I picked back then tho.

---

Day 19 - Girls, what(’s) your favorite shonen anime?

Still the same answers as before. I don't know orz. I would pick Jigoku Sensei Nube too on top of my previous answers, but I mainly enjoyed the manga rather than the anime when I was a kid. I didn't actually watch the anime til much later.

---

Day 20 - Favourite Tsundere

Still the same answer. I don't like tsundere :c

---

Day 21 - Favourite Harem/Reverse Harem

Same answer: idk.

---

Day 22 - Subs or Dubs?

Still subs, but sometimes on Netflix I'd switch between both for certain scenes to listen to how the same lines are portrayed in Japanese vs English.

---

Day 23 - Favourite Studio Ghibli work

Still no favourite pick at the moment.

---

Day 24 - Share any experiences where you’ve been bullied for liking anime

None. Anime is actually quite popular around me, that I remember at the start of the year long ago when we changed classes (new classmates assigned), the ones sitting to my left, front, and back all watched Prince of Tennis. The one to my right didn't but she liked Winnie the Pooh c: That year on my birthday I found an anonymous little gift box on (or under?) my desk and it was filled with handmade origami stars + laminated Prince of Tennis cards inside. I never figured out whom it was from. The complete opposite of what the question asked for, which I know I'm very fortunate for.

If I remember right, I had a schoolmate who declared his disdain for anime otaku, but some time later I lent him manga from my collection and he became just as much an avid ACG consumer as I am, and I kinda believed he became way more proficient than I was in Japanese back in high school?

---

Day 25 - Anime character you feel you are most like (or wish you were like)

Still kind of like the previous answer, but I would like to add a not-really-anime character. I saw the profiles of Tokimeki Memorial characters one day, and found a character whose profile details matched me a lot. Shirayuki Miho.

Really close for almost everything, completely matched in many aspects too. One of the traits that didn't match was club activity, which I actually did put in as one of my club activity choices irl, but I was in a very competitive school so I was rejected for the club activity, which I think was because I was a super quiet kid back then. I ended up in the same club as what's listed for Ijuin.

On a tangential note, one year when my form teacher was leaving the school she gave each of us a personalised teddy bear with her nickname for each student, and I was Snow White (shirayuki hime) because my skin was really fair compared to the other girls. I envied the girl she gave the 'anime princess' teddy bear to, but again I did try to keep my anime interests a bit low-key then.

---

Day 26 - An anime scene that made you cry

One question where I have a clear change in answer, though not 100% different in vibe from the previous answer. My picks were probably heavily influenced by my personal issues then.

I watched Orange during a tumultuously emotional period. I rewatched certain scenes over and over, never failing to cry each time because I related myself to the atmosphere of the scenes a lot.

During this period, I also watched a bit of Granblue Fantasy the Animation. It's not a plot scene, but the ending theme that played that would make me cry. Haruhi's Sora no Parade. It led me to her other melancholic songs.

---

Day 27 - Recommend one anime that most people may not have seen

If it gets picked up internationally it would have been something that's anticipated to be well-received so I wouldn't say 'most people may not have seen' it, but my recommendation that's not one of the most talked-about ones (from personal circles + amount of fan content) would be

Fumetsu no Anata e / To Your Eternity

It's still a very popular series tho.

---

Day 28 - Do you share your anime interests with anyone?

Same answer as before. A lot of people I'm still in contact with have similar interests. The most notable difference from my answer back then would be that some have changed in their expressions, especially those that have since become parents themselves. Some might not be as fervently into series that they might've enjoyed when they were younger, and my friend agreed it's sometimes hard to keep up with newer things. We becoming ol' fuddy-duddies.

---

Day 29 - Your favourite character

Still Shiraishi Kuranosuke, plus many other oshi.

---

Day 30 - What anime has your heart?

I'm still asking the same question in return-- what's the difference between this and favourite OTL

Prince of Tennis is still one of my most nostalgic choices, but it feels like it's continually being milked, the musical reboot for example, which isn't a bad thing since newer fans get to enjoy the feels + ensures that the fandom is still active, but the sentimentality of it personally feels diminished.

I still like Prince of Tennis, but the series that's the dearest (nostalgia + themes of the story) would I guess be Jigoku Sensei Nube.
