#probably not but it’d be so funny to see his haters

[smurny]

When Will finally opens his magic closet door, I hope his magic turns out to be the gayest magic anyone has ever seen, like super sparkly, sunshine and rainbows, lovey dovey stuff so we can see the jaws drop 🦄 🌈 ✨

[bhnsby]

what are your thoughts on the potential dynamics between the roti cast members and owen, if he had been on all stars?

GOD I WISH.

Owen deserved it and should’ve been there instead of Sam or sierra. I don’t care he should’ve

I love Owen and he has great chemistry with like every character ever.

I think Jo and Owen could’ve been peak. Owen gets along with everyone. And half of Jos dynamics are her taking advantage of someone stupid or naive. Owen is both. He definitely would’ve become a little pawn for her. He’d be a mix of Cameron (his pushover-ness) and lightning (his idiocy) to her, so I can definitely see her wanting to use this to her benefit. And Owen just sees the best in everyone. It’d be like intentions al had with Owen mixed with heather and Duncan’s way they acted around Owen. I also think it would be funny if like, she genuinely starts to like him a bit since he just lets her be bossy and competitive and such. Like I can imagine her thinking he’s not too bad and definitely going easy on him. Also it could give her some development after roti, where she realises to appreciate people that give her respect, and that she doesn’t need to force it out of people and sometimes people will just give it to you or something idk I’m going too roti action Jo development fan fiction now.

I can also see him being friends with the friendship trio just because they’re all nice. I’d like to imagine Zoey being rather,,, confused by him. Since he was a season one finalist but just clearly does not fit the idea of what a finalist should be. She’d probably be really interested in him and same with Cameron. They both want to analyse him like a bug in a jar.

Uh Sam was just Owen in all stars so like. I don’t think anything interesting would come out of them.

Same with Scott and lightning I just can’t see anything fun or intriguing here.

I mainly just think Jo would have a good dynamic with him, which is very telling of the all stars writing because roti would be a very different story. But the writing for all stars sucks and they don’t do anything interesting with the characters or dynamics other than what they do with Jo.

Anyway Owen great not a bad season for him peak tdi stop being Owen haters

2012 april redeisgn cause no one gets her like i do esp the writers

i don’t actually have any big issues with her deisgn it’s just symbolic of how i’m rewriting her in my head because she was done so incredibly dirty

anywya. list of headcanon things slash things i’d change under the cut

it’s mentioned like once that she’s good at science maybe i think?? (i can’t actually remember if that happened LMAO) cool im taking that and RUNNING with it

she is good at science but likes focusing on outer space cause she feels a weird connection to it hm i wonder why!! she loses her MIND during the space arc she is having the time of her life nd taking notes and everything

so she focuses on astronomy and learning abt space :D she probably watches space hero’s w leo cause space but points out all the scientific inaccuracies

i kinda incorporated that into her design too, with the stars on her shirt and shorts (sewn in by mikey :) i think they deserve to be bffs)

instead of the stupid ass donnie centric intro in canon, BEFORE the turtles see her, we see her talking to her dad abt either his work or talking to him abt space or school or SOMETHING so we get her character before we see how the turtles (cough. donnie) view her cause what is that canon intro

i keep the love triangle HOWEVER. instead of the writers never giving her an actual response to it! she is uninterested in both of them and just doesn’t know how to tell either of them without hurting their feelings. eventually in like the farmhouse arc she does and it ends there. i tjink the bigfoot thing happens but when donnie talks to her she’s like oh it’s not bc you’re a mutant it’s cause i just see you as a friend and you lowk were being really weird abt it. can we be friends still girly and they are! i think casey notices donnie not pursuing her and asks one of them abt it and smth similar happens so they’re all FRIENDS. AS IT SHOULD BE!!

she is also a lesbian cause i’m a lesbian lolz but i think she doesn’t figure it out until later in the series

i think she and karai can be haters to eachother for awhile but eventually they should get to be friends. they meet up and beat the shit out of eachother (train together). shout out to girls who were intended for a greater purpose they had no say in with parental issues

she evaporates both donnie and casey and they stay dead (/j i love them so no. it’d be funny to me though)

Documentation of my comphet throughout the years 🧍‍♀️

Okay so I thought it’d be funny to talk abt my most intense male fixation eras as a lesbian (idk i’m just shitposting into the void again) judge me all u want (it is probably needed) but i need ppl to understand the real me 🙏

IT CROPPED HALF HIS FACE OUT but i just realised if you aren’t british ur gonna have no idea who he is anyone (he’s lachlan white from emmerdale) omg this was an ERA everyone around me thought i was going insane (i was) but like they just didn’t get it he slayed so hard at a level that will never be reached (literally) also tom atkinson on sex education was like a full circle moment for me omg but anyways i was like 11-12 here these were literally my formative years this changed me FOREVER don’t judge he slayed omg

THIS okay so u can’t even blame me for this one it’s just correct. yes he’s like walking masculinity stereotype BUT he also had depth and was interesting 😌 the fanfics were SO GOOD this is when i really got into fanfiction and accidentally read smut where someone get pregnant in the hunger games 🧍‍♀️i read this one fic that was like x reader AND THEY STRAIGHT UP BOTH DIED but anyways. i read fanfics abt literally everyone thg character (read abt women and convinced myself i was still straight lmfao) but he was the stand out for me. i recently revisited this era and the fics ppl write on ao3 r INSANE omg like what is wrong with u ppl ( i say this lovingly but also wtf )

OMGOMGOMG BEST ERA OF MY LIFE u actually don’t understand u just had to be there. a solid percentage of my brain even to this day is made up of this man. this is like the stupidest thing ever but when i was like 14 i would just mirror his personality (and tone down the arsehole part obvs) so that i could get more talkative AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED nobody in the whole world will ever understand how much he means to me (i don’t rly understand it myself tbh) and ik ppl literally fuckinf despise him but i will not tolerate the dandy mott slander bc he is literally part of my core identity atp i revisit him every few months just to fully reconnect with my inner being. did anyone read Companion? that shit was crazy also i wrote a fic abt him on wattpad and people actually READ IT so anyways best era of my life it truly never got better i rly hit me peak (i had 0 friends) the few friends i had literally told me i talked abt him too much and it made them like me less 💀

this was arguably my most chill era like yea i was pretty obsessive but with marvel it’s so normalised to be so intense abt everything i kinda just fit right in. there’s too much professor fanfiction r u ppl okay 🧍‍♀️ also more actor fanfiction than i have ever seen for any other man in my LIFE but the capitalism went hard during this era the fluff was so good. arguably my most comforting era? idk i can’t rly explain that one

okay so these two r kinda completely different but also (for obvious reasons) the exact same. gotham was my most openly gay era and for that i will forever be grateful HOWEVER the kristen kringle haters were doing WAY TOO MUCH like she’s already dead why u doing her like that constantly (u will see this sentiment echoed later abt someone else hmmm i wonder who) but yea and then YES i was a paul dano lesbian (literally wasn’t out as lesbian at this point lmao) honestly this is probably the era my friends hated the most they would either awkwardly pretend to agree/care abt the shit i was saying or straight up tell me i was delusional 💀 my friends even now still call it my worst era but i LOVED IT kinda solidified my position at the bottom of the hellish secondary school hierarchy but i still had a good time. the paul dani riddler fanfics r next level tho the way ppl would just post STALKER fics constantly with like zero warnings and it was never labelled as yandere 🧍‍♀️i also got in an argument with a writer on wattpad bc they made the riddler and the oc have like a 6 year age gap and they met when she was 10 and he was like 16 💀 other than that good vibes all round

tbh this era was pretty brief i can’t fully explain what happened here like the vibes were immaculate but also insane WHY IS THERE SM YANDERE FANFIC peter parker is so nice but then in fanfics it’s like 👹 but i rly like spider-man HOWEVER this then led me to my final destination on the comphet journey…

omg were finally at the final stop the peak of comphet ( i came out as lesbian within this era ) arguably not my finest hour bc i swore i would never watch criminal minds bc the number of seasons is WAY TOO MUCH but here we are i watched it bc i read too much fanfic abt this man. i have lots of criticism for the fandom but he in himself is acc a rly good character. this was supposed to be like my ethical era but he’s acc killed like a bunch of ppl and thomas gibson is MESSY (don’t cancel me pls i say that lovingly 🫶) the haley hotchner misogyny nearly killed me off i don’t think i’ve ever been so miserable in a fandom and the fanfics kinda take feminism back a few hundred years but pretty good besides that

anyways there is my brainrot i hope the two (at most) ppl who will read this enjoyed 🫶 LETS GO LESBIANS LETS GO im gonna say i posted this in honour of international lesbian day even tho that was several days ago

magnus archives! for the ask game

[ask game link] YAYYYYYYYYY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK this got horrifically long so under the cut!

Favorite character: i’d love to say basira but it’s probably melanie. or martin. oh little moth…

Least Favorite character: uhhhh i love all the characters as *characters* but i love to hate elias of course. what a fucking creep they did such a wonderful job with him. 106 and 117 live in my brain constantly & forever

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): FIVE? THERE AREN’T ENOUGH IN HERE FOR FIVE but it’d be what the girlfriends, jonmartin, daisira, basira/melanie, and. hm. hmmm. gertrudeagnes

— oh crap wait i keep forgetting platonic relationships are ships too, okay okay add jon & basira and jon & melanie and jon & georgie in there. not in any particular order but still

Character I find most attractive: im not even attracted to women but. daisy. i didn’t understand the fan reaction until i listened to her voice for the first time (i consumed this podcast almost entirely through transcripts) and went Oh I Get It Now

Character I would marry: georgie easily

Character I would be best friends with: jon or melanie because i love befriending haters you are all so fun

A random thought: i miss them so much. i kept expecting the transcripts to switch to “archive” for jon at some point but they never did which is probably for the best for accessibility reasons but can you imagine. i miss them so much. basira is funnier than people give her credit for. georgie is less funny than people give her credit for and i appreciate her so much for it (don’t be a Stranger!). i miss them so much

An unpopular opinion: hey did you know basira hussain is in the third most episodes total and actually has the second most scenes with jon (she had The Most, period, before martin dethroned her in s5)? did you know? anyway she should be in more stuff and i love her deeply. i also don’t think she actually had double standards for jon versus daisy per se, i think her problem was thinking that guilty people deserve punishment and therefore that daisy’s victims (criminals) were fine while jon’s victims (random people off the street) were not

— this is also why she stops daisy from killing jon in 091, because she’d met him before, he was a human being who cracked jokes, he *couldn’t* be guilty; rather than because killing people is bad

— i also think she knew deep down she was wrong for this considering how she says in the unknowing: i don’t want to hurt you. i don’t want to hurt anyone. and then in s5: of course i care! …that’s the problem

— she had to force down her compassion in order to function well as a police officer and forced herself to believe that it was the right thing to arrest people who did bad things

— reader she was incorrect

— have i mentioned i love her

My canon OTP: jonmartin and what the girlfriends

Non-canon OTP: you cannot tell me basira and melanie didn’t have something going on while jon was in his coma you simply can’t

— melanie was strong and violent and necessary and basira needed someone strong to rely on after daisy even though she could see how miserable melanie was. basira stuffed down all her emotions and became a stone figure and melanie feeling herself being overtaken by rage both aspired to that and hated her for it. they are anchors for each other but false because their usual anchors (daisy, georgie) aren’t here or wouldn’t get it. do you understand.

Most badass character: the admiral

Pairing I am not a fan of: sorry to jon.elias fans i do understand that exploring the Power Dynamics could be fun but i genuinely cannot see any romance in there whatsoever. can’t jon just hate a man in peace

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): hmmmmmmm. not anyone in particular? i think basira’s s5 arc was kind of rushed but i’m not super mad about it. also obviously the racist stereotypes in there (the haans. i mean the haans) but in terms of main cast i can’t think of anyone

Favourite friendship: tim & sasha because i haven’t mentioned them anywhere in this ask and that is a travesty. they’re fun i hope they are kayaking happily together somewhere

[kudzucataclysm]

OK SO. i’ve had a couple drinks and so i’m gonna expand upon certain se ships that i was asked abt a couple nights ago AAAAA

Vincent and Jack: THE FRIENDS TO ENEMIES TO LOVERS ANGLE!!! these two were all each other had for their respective childhoods and both fell apart cuz of time and space, both are forced onto opposite sides of conflict cuz of their jobs and circumstances…like the TENSION!!! of knowing that person you’re fighting against is like, someone u love ya know….

Thursday and Friday: honestly. honestly. i cannot expand upon this except… they r two very fcuked up individuals who love each other soooo so so much. like Friday keeping their true self hidden from Thurs out of fear not knowing that Thurs would like…fucking love them regardless. that no matter what Thurs loves them for everything they are and who they’ll be and and. oh my god. what the FU

Friday and Valentine: tbh there’s nothing here there’s just the DramaTM. Valentine being one of Azel’s partners but like having a weird crush on this human-aligned martian who’s trying to kidnap one of yur lovers kids like. wtf is going onnnnnnnn dude yur insane

Carson and Maya: AAAA CHILDHOOD…CHILDHOOD FRIENDS…TO ACADEMIC RIVALS TO LOVERS TO ENEMIES…both were students of Altena and Prometheus, working to better the world for future generations and as they both grew older they became disillusioned with that and grew apart….Maya becoming something that goes against the betterment of humanity and Carson willing to sacrifice entire generations/life including her own for a CHANCE that one day the world will be better…AND THEM BEING OPPOSING EACH OTHER…AAAAAAAAA

Carson, Maya, and Dmytro: same as above tbh…but Dmytro retreated from the world and from Prometheus as a whole, throwing themselves into their work but holy fuck like the POTENTIAL!!! IF ALL THREE OF THESE PEEPS WERE LIKE SANE AND FULLY EMBRACED THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER (dmytro loved cars and maya queerplatonically but wtv love is love-) like whoa. if only they weren’t fucked up ya know it’s the YEARNING

Carson and Hobbes: Hobbes is a weirdo android who like..provides that safety net that Cars needs. like yeah his function is to spy on her and make sure she doesn’t do anything too crazy but like the way this android who believes himself to not like experience anything human BECOMES human in one of the worst ways possible through interacting with Cars like. whoa. what the fuck

Maya and Miss Keystone: no explanation literally it’s just girlboss x girlboss, it’s for funsies. Keystone being a Martian supermodel and corporate agent and Maya being one of the richest people in the world like cmon. it’s just fun

Carmine and Grant: Grant used to have a crush on Carmine so it’s like. what if Carmine wasn’t RepressedTM ya know. again for fun it’s just two old gay criminal dudes who find comfort in each other…cmon now..

Hammond and Laima: these two r like the definition of Hater. HATERSSSS and they both hate Azelfafage and both use each other and work together…enemy of my enemy is a friend etc etc…once again for fun and cuz like if they were Normal it’d be like a very intense relationship i feel…

Hammond and Azel: sheer crack. all Azel wants is to like have sex with Hammond but can’t cuz Hammond will kill him (probably) so. i dunno i just find it funny is all…very one sided

Hammond and Lupe: THEY WERE FUCKING BESTIIIIIIES LITERALLYYYYYYU LIKE OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGG such a tragic fucking end. like oh my god i just can’t like just to see someone you love just fucking waste away and become a shell of her former self and so u put the world on your shoulders JUST because u think that’s what she wanted…go ahead and fucking kill me bro

Lupe and Veronika: gfs who were forced apart becuz of the world, and one of which sacrificed herself to give the world another chance. and Lupe remains to waste away and not be able to witness the fact that the world was in fact not better from that sacrifice. don’t fucking touch me

[bishop-percival]

@stuckinuniformdevelopment

(prev) “And quit my dream job to become your full-time assistant?” Teddy wasn’t able to hide his disgusted scowl. “No way.” He blankly watched Revenard Mike climb up while wondering if he hoped Freddy had used his telescope since he was last there or not. On one hand, it’d be funny. On the other… well… he was glad that he hadn’t bothered to taunt the Glornists recently. Teddy perked up when Revenard Mike mentioned getting down to business, then his eye narrowed when he realized what the first item on the agenda was. Did he pick up on their one-sided friendship too? “Do you honestly think I can help? Nowadays he only listens to Lord Hater himself half the time.” He stuffed his hands in his pockets as he slowly walked until he found the right angle to see his face. “Besides… that respect is waning thanks to my involvement with the Glornists.” Teddy looked Revenard Mike directly in the eye before saying, “Advocating for you would only hasten the process.”

Mike held his hands up a bit. "Fine, fine. All I'm saying is that between you or me, Squeakers would probably tolerate one better than the other."

He removed a pen from the notebook coil bind and tapped it on the paper. "But if you really would rather not, then," He sighed "I guess I won't make you."

Mike started writing something. "Besides... It's ultimately my responsibility to keep this church afloat. If I can't expect it's own bishop or members to help me with this, then I'm really not sure why I expected you would. So never mind."

He contemplated what he should talk about next.

[los-ninos-tortugas]

Alright now I have (mostly) coherent thoughts.

Shorter than I thought it was gonna be, I really was hoping for a bit of a longer story. Because of that I’m not sure if I love the sight gag of future Leo ending up in all the wrong places or not. Like maybe the joke goes on a little too long for the amount of panels the comic gets, but at the same time it gave us the Frida design and a couple of other interesting moments.

This is a personal nitpick thing for me but I also think that the dialogue kinda suffered a bit. Basically every line is exposition because there genuinely is so little time to get across everything that they wanted to. I understand why it is the way that it is and I’m not gonna count it against the comic itself it’s just something that bothers me because I don’t like super exposition-y dialogue.

The story itself is actually pretty ambitious for a short comic and I actually really loved the idea behind it. I love that we get to see a future in the now good timeline, there’s a lot of fun things implied with the expanded team, Draxum hanging out back at the lair, and probably most interesting, Leo’s personal space arc that he I guess undoes by the end of this? (Time travel is confusing)

There is something incredibly sweet about the fact that Mikey knows how much Splinter’s death has been weighing on Leo’s mind and devised a way for Leo to do something incredibly nice for himself. And I love that in a world where he isn’t pushed by an alien war Mikey is still able to reach his potential- and maybe even surpass the skill of his bad timeline counterpart- as a mystic warrior. He’s so badass that he can casually make a time gate without obliterating himself.

I think my favorite thing about this comic is that the crux of it is this outpouring of love that I think is a major theme of Rise. My favorite line is future Leo’s “this will help us both.” All jokes aside about Future Leo calling his past self annoying and being a hater (though it is funny), and there’s a lot to be said about fandom perceptions on Leo’s opinion of himself (but this isn’t the post to get into that) but the way Future Leo comes back to save his past self so that he gets the chance to say goodbye to splinter reads to me both as an act of love for his dad but also an incredible act of self love. Like a version of self love that is more earnest because it’s not really wrapped up in ego. It’s something that Leo recognizes that he needs, and that love is paid forward to his family, he gets to say goodbye and his brothers don’t have to lose him for months. Leo loves his family more than anything so I love getting to see the interplay of his relationship with himself directly feeding back to his relationship with his family in a positive way.

I think that’s all the thoughts I’m gonna have for now. I’m doubtful that it would ever happen but after reading this I’d really love if there were more rise comics after this. They already had the companion comic series while the show was running, and frankly I’m not holding my breath on a season 3 getting greenlit anytime soon. I guess it’d be hard to say if a new comic series would be considered canon (a la Buffy season 8 from Dark Horse) but a continuation comic would be an awesome way to get more rise content out into the world. But that’s just me wishing.

just read the rise 40th anniversary comic, and, uhhhh….

[ootahime]

Another one, sorry! I'm ashamed to admit it because apparently I didn't understand it Why is Gojo paying Mei Mei? I assumed it was to promote his students, since the panels are followed. Thank you so much!! Keep writing more GojoHime theories and content please

don’t apologize bby <3 i’ll gladly answer all the questions you have 

i always tag my posts under gojohime because i don’t want the haters to discover this account.......

Why is Gojo paying Mei Mei?

You know, I thought he was paying Mei to promote his students too.  But as time went on, I realized this most likely isn’t the case.  Of course, I could always be wrong.  Let me get into it!

Mei Mei is not affiliated with the Jujutsu High branches because she works on her own accord.  She is an independent sorceress.  In Gojo’s point of view, she’s an ideal person to hire because she only works for the money.  Mei doesn’t care about anyone or anything, as long as cash is flowing in her bank account at the end of the day, she will carry out the job.  This aspect of Mei guarantees secrecy for Gojo because she won’t spill the beans about the traitors.  

Remember when Gojo told Mei that he noticed discrepancies in Yuuji’s footage during the Kyoto event?  Mei makes the excuse that crows will always be animals so she can’t fully control where they choose to look.  Gojo obviously doesn’t fall for her lies so he asks her which side she’s on to which she replies with “The side with money, of course.”  It’s clear at this point that Gakuganji paid Mei to keep the crows away from Yuuji so Gojo wouldn’t notice that the Kyoto kids are trying to assassinate his student.

Mei lies to protect her employer, Gakuganji.  As long as Mei is working under someone, she will always keep the mission information under wraps.  She won’t even tell Gojo about Gakuganji’s scheme.  

This probably seems off-topic but what I’m trying to say here is that assigning Mei with the task to unearth the moles would be a good choice on Gojo’s behalf because she will always keep her private missions a secret, which is beneficial for Gojo and Utahime because they don’t want to let it be known that they are aware that someone is feeding intel to curses and curse users.

Okay, now let’s answer why I don’t think Mei was paid by Gojo to promote his students.  

Before he deposited the money into Mei’s bank account, he was on a call with Utahime.  He was bragging about how the three first-year students each defeated a special grade curse on their own--thanks to his spectacular teaching.  It’s clear that he’s referring to Megumi, Yuuji, and Nobara here.  

Then the two talk about Utahime’s progress with the investigation.  He ends the call thinking that it’s a hassle having to be careful because he doesn’t know who could be listening in on his conversations with Utahime.  This is where Mei could be useful!  He has to be extra cautious with Utahime because she’s a teacher that’s exposed to both the students and the Kyoto school staff.  It’d be hard for her to investigate because she could be close to the suspects.  In contrast, Mei is not associated with anyone so she would not have a problem snooping around.  Hiring Mei would be more convenient and much less of a risk for Gojo.  

After Mei receives the money and laughs, we are shown Mei and Todo recommending Panda, Maki, Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara for promotion.  

Mei recommends Panda and Maki while Todo recommends the trio.  Although Maki and Panda are close to Gojo, he is not their teacher anymore because he’s in charge of the first-years.  Atsuya Kusakabe is the one who’s in charge of the second-years.  If Gojo paid Mei to recommend his students then she should have said Yuuji, Megumi, and Nobara instead.  I firmly believe that Mei and Todo were impressed by the feats of those they recommended for promotion, therefore their actions are sincere.  Mei did acknowledge Maki’s abilities during the event, after all.  We also know that Todo is a genuine guy, he would not recommend anyone if he didn’t deem them to be worthy, even Yuuji.  

In my mind, it’s out of character for Gojo to consider promoting his students to Grade 1 in such an dishonest way.  Early in the story, Gojo reveals that his dream is to have strong allies that are willing to help him change the jujutsu system for the better.  As he is talking about his dream to Ijichi, there’s a panel of Gojo with his students standing alongside him to represent that him and his students are on equal terms.  They are as strong, if not even stronger than him in his dream.  He wants to foster the next generation of sorcerers to be exceptionally strong, yes, but he doesn’t want to take shortcuts.  

I’m sure everyone is aware that Gojo is a super childish guy.  I find it funny because when he was a little kid, he was so serious.  I think all of the responsibilities that come with being the strongest stripped him of a good childhood so he made up for it over the years by acting like a complete toddler.  The whole incident with Riko, Geto, and even Haibara, once again emphasized to him that being a sorcerer is no easy job.  At this point, he’s seen the death of so many innocent children because they’re unfortunate enough to be involved in a system that not only fails to protect them but exploits their efforts as well.  He absolutely hates the higher ups for making it this way.  He doesn’t want the students to suffer like him and his classmates did when they should be out having fun and doing what normal kids do.  

When you are a Grade 1 sorcerer, you are expected to adhere to the standards of perfection in jujutsu society.  You will have to make sacrifices you don’t want to make.  The death of those around you is inevitable.  Ultimately, being a Grade 1 sorcerer demands one to harden their heart.  In one of the light novels, Gojo follows Nanami to Hokkaido because Nanami was on a mission there and Gojo wanted to make a request.  I’m too lazy to go back and read it so I’ll just have to rely on my memory.  What I say is accurate but likely out of order.  Anyway, after they finished the job Nanami sought out to do, they have a conversation about sorcery.  Gojo basically admits that being a sorcerer never gets easier, even for him, because he, like many others, experiences traumatic events daily as a part of his job.  They then go to a bar and Gojo asks Nanami to take Yuuji under his wing because he believes Nanami has a lot to teach him.  I don’t remember much out of the conversation but I do remember Gojo saying something along the lines of, “I don’t want to see Yuuji’s smile fade--not even once.”  This statement suggests that he wants to preserve the innocence of such a pure boy like Yuuji.  Nanami thinks the same because he tells Yuuji that being a child is not a sin.  

Gojo wants to protect his students’ childhoods.  It is unlike him to pay Mei to promote his students to Grade 1 because he knows that would mean they would have to leave behind their youth to be another casualty in the cruelty that is jujutsu society.  He doesn’t want them to be exploited by the elders.  Like I said before, of course he wants them to be strong, but paying his way to his goal is not characteristic of Gojo Satoru.

> CHAPTER 11. History's Most Notorious Haters

Let’s see how effectively my perky new lowered-expectations attitude lets me enjoy this comic  *click*

wut

Oh.  so is this Dave drawing comics about current events or Regular Calliope doing so for our very first lanky look at her presumably-grown-up-more cherub form

> Knight: Keep it real.

HOLY SHIT IT���S DAVEBOT AND ARADIA

so we just get to SEE them?!  just like that???  no buildup or anything?  :D

Okay I’m marking out a little that’s a good sign.  Also what a nerdy cop-out to turn the roboteyes into glasses that’s barely passable which is perfect, the rest of his outfit looks pretty cool tho

DAVEBOT: and thats reason four hundred nineteen why despite my mans many accomplishments i will never acknowledge big skateboardings contrived message that tony hawk is the quintessential skater of our generation ARADIA: o_o DAVEBOT: not in these trying times

Good to see Ultimate Dave is being true to form with regards to the core of his personality

DAVEBOT: beep boop ARADIA: i have told you several times that i was a robot before and i know for a fact you dont have to say beep boop DAVEBOT: hm that sounds fake does not compute ARADIA: david DAVEBOT: mom

I was with this conversation until the last two lines what the fuck

(I’m reading into it aren’t I, Aradia was trying to be atypically proper -- even though she wouldn’t have the frame of reference to know without being specifically told that “Dave” was considered nickname shorthand for the human name David, and thus if she DID know there’s no reason she’d use it except to troll him -- and Dave’s just mocking her response.  Without any shame about his continued weirdness of calling people Mom, and by without any shame I mean he made the choice EXPLICITLY to intentionally evoke the awkwardness.  Wow I got a lot out of two lines.)

(Oh, also alt!Callie’s true Jade-body incarnation here probably prompted her to start using “David” by example.  There, various mysteries solved via a pile of assumptions probably to be disproven in the next couple lines I read.)

The Knight and the Maid stare at each other briefly, having exchanged enough meaningful glances over their time together to know when to drop it.

Would Time players have an easier time gelling this way, like this particular smoothness?  Dropping it just before it gets weird or excessively irritating?

(Overclasspecting)

ARADIA: i think we have exchanged enough meaningful glances over our time together to know when to drop this DAVEBOT: what i enjoy about our conversations is that you just say things like that

OKAY I SNRK’D AT THAT.  That was funny.

Initially.  And now I’m concerned whether Aradia is being controlled by the narrative-speak, or whether they’re both just humorously referencing the meta-text they can both see, or--

ARADIA: oh is that what you enjoy ARADIA: well we are both an infinite number of years old living countless lifetimes at once but thats no reason to waste any of our...

WHAT??!?  She’s an Ultimate Self too?!?

Um, okay!  Yeah!  So they’re BOTH just riffing on the narrative then.  But... why would Dave need a robot body to accommodate his Ultimate Psyche without getting sick but Rose not need it?  I can understand Dirk not needing it because the merging of the full breadth of his multiversal individuality gels well with him being a God of the aspect governing the power of his multiversal individuality, but Aradia?

Were the robot bodies not necessary after all, and the sickness Rose suffered and Obama thought Dave would have suffered some sort of ruse?  Are there shenanigans afoot?  (Or are we going with the “troll biology is better” cop-out?)

She knows how this will play out, having undoubtedly tried this joke on her friend in some timeline or another. Their rapport reflects a unique combination of their matching aspects but greatly differing classes. One a passive but powerful servant to time, the other wielding the aspect like a honed blade.

WH

WHAT????

PASSIVE SERVANT OF THE ASPECT?!? WHAT THE FUCK

Okay if that means anything like it sounds like I guess my class chart is finally blown up, sure, they only waited (*checks last edit date*) SEVEN AND A HALF YEARS TO BLOW THAT GUESS UP, SURE

Wow.  Okay, I feel some obligation to jump to conclusions and say the whole class chart is wrong, but let me stay strapped in to see if “passive” is as literal as one would expect alt!Callie to mean, or it just means “an active class passive compared to other classes”.  And, serving the aspect?  Oh dammit, now people are gonna come at me advocating a Maid / Page dichotomy about actively serving the aspect versus allowing the aspect to be served... or Page / Maid even, jesus

I wish I had enough energy to have those chats anymore.  I’d rather hold on and see the whole ridiculous chart scheme they have in mind... which is definitely (and hopefully) the one Andrew really drew up at the time and not made up by the staff, even if it throws away plenty of my old work...  I’ll just stop thinking about it and keep reading.

...

--no, I don’t think I can just stop thinking about it yet.  Dammit, brain.

So um.  Maids serving their aspect.  There was a whole “Maids serve” thing going on throughout the whole plot of Homestuck, but despite how prevalent it was, I wrote it off as the story riffing on the classical definition of Maid when the actual stuff Maids accomplished was something different and more specific, just like Knights constantly got riffed on for chivalry and the like.  Furthermore, service seemed like a really shitty class definition, when class definitions are the verbs one uses to interact with reality through Aspects to change the way reality unfolds, and “serving” isn’t really an action that results in change, implying a distinct deficit of agency that I wouldn’t have viewed as fair.  (Especially since you originally think “meant to serve others” and not “meant to serve the aspect”, implying even LESS agency.)  Furthermore, MOST passive classes from their descriptions seem to have a propensity to act “as if by the will of the aspect”, so even with the nuance of “serving the aspect”, devoting an entire class verb to service would just step on the territory of other active/passive class pairs’ passive sides, right?

But... IF we were to take this for granted as what it SEEMS... then concentrating on that angle of “serving the aspect” implies a whole lot more agency than a service class might sound on its surface.  The definition fits with the story better once you contextualize all the Maid-y references to service around Jane, for instance, with the additional idea of “serving Life” by baking prolifically and creating more of its symbols in food and--

--fuck.  “Serving”, like serving to others.  Serving the aspect as its attendant AND serving it out to others that need it.  Maybe this still IS part of the Additive class pair!  Whoa.  :O

Okay okay so, what I/we thought before was:

Create/Add - Maid / Sylph

Destroy/Reduce - Prince / Bard

But “additive” really isn’t an elegant verb compared to the “Destroyer” classes, so... could it be the “Servants” and the “Destroyers”?  Like Maids cleaning up and healing the broken wreckage strewn through the halls by a bratty Prince’s tantrum???

It’d certainly be weird... and it’d CERTAINLY be a wild twist where I was partially wrong in some fascinating ways but not entirely off base?

One a passive but powerful servant to time, the other wielding the aspect like a honed blade.

And yet, I can’t bet on this being the situation yet; not at all.  First, it relies on the idea that alt!Callie’s explicit narrative here is slightly misleading, which would be a pretty extreme thing to commit to, even for a technical truth like “she was saying it was passive relative to other classes even though it’s technically “active””.  Second... it would mean that Muses are even more wildly defined than the previous insinuation of hers, that the Sylph -- what we thought was the passive additive class -- was not enough like a Muse compared to a Witch.  Muses not being that Additive?  I could grudgingly understand that, but Muses not being anything like passive Servants?!  That would be EXTREMELY weird!

So... there’s not a whole lot of chance that I’m not dramatically wrong somewhere about these classes!  In a way that throws the entire chart into disarray!

I’m... oddly excited?  Huh.

That’s a pretty nice surprise that I actually feel that way.

:)

(Don’t hit me up all at once to discuss this Classpect development over Discord, I’ll still need a few days without talking about Homestuck to recharge as usual.  Like... maybe wait and come at me as a group chat? So I’m not talking about the latest developments separately with everyone?  No that wouldn’t work, how about... guh I dunno, look my outlook’s a little more positive right now but dealing with Homestuck still takes emotional energy okay?)

Okay the rest of this page...

ARADIA: ... DAVEBOT: time then make a weird face ARADIA: ........ DAVEBOT: waste time DAVEBOT: time ARADIA:............. DAVEBOT: i experience all points of time simultaneously please just say time and make a weird face

This is true.

ARADIA: .................. DAVEBOT: cmon megido youre killing me clocks ticking ARADIA: ... ARADIA: time o_o

The Maid casts a furtive glance around the empty crew quarters, as though to search for someone more sympathetic to her bit.

ARADIA: tough crowd

Dorks.

(Lazy fruit-throwing sword-training I won’t bother to screenshot but looks fun)

(I mean, really lazy looking, these people really don’t have Andrew’s knack for action composition that would make the same amount of gif-creation effort feel like a microcosm of the event they’re depicting, unfortunately.  Again, I don’t blame them; Andrew was just too good at it.)

DAVEBOT: ok heres one DAVEBOT: how old do you think you are ARADIA: emotionally? ARADIA: that is a pretty heavy topic DAVEBOT: you know damn well thats not what i meant ARADIA: you know I have been through a lot dave DAVEBOT: ok ARADIA: its just so kind of someone DAVEBOT: ok i get it ARADIA: to finally ask how i feel ARADIA: i am beside myself with emotions ARADIA: i want to open up DAVEBOT: jesus christ ARADIA: shall i open up about my past traumas to you ARADIA: would you enjoy that ARADIA: to think even a frog like me can work through their pain with a dear friend ARADIA: you have truly blessed me on this day dave strider

Is Aradia JUST trolling here or is her Ultimate Self grappling with a ton of real unresolved trauma too that she’s bullshitting around Dave-style?

DAVEBOT: times fun when youre having flies

Okay that’s a damned good frog pun.

Alright now Davebot’s rapping

DAVEBOT: lacking tact i stay stacked while i breach contract DAVEBOT: sacred vows disavowed got divorce fever DAVEBOT: i leave her DAVEBOT: dont look back dont perceive her ARADIA: do you want to talk about it :( DAVEBOT: about what ARADIA: would you say you are hung up on leaving your wife and friends behind

Goddamnit is DAVE’S ton of real unresolved trauma leaking into his raps unintentionally Dave-style??  I knew we had to address it when we cut to Davebot but how about LESS TRAGEDY IN THIS COMIC MAYBE

DAVEBOT: arent you even a little guilty about ditching your boyfriend ARADIA: what ARADIA: oh fuck

Wh

But she knew what she was doing when she did it she explicitly did it didn’t she?  Epilogues quote:

DAVEBOT: what about your boy DAVEBOT: eyepatches ARADIA: oh sollux is in one of his moods ARADIA: this was all getting to be a bit much for him ARADIA: if i go ill probably just cut him loose DAVEBOT: good move

And then they stepped through the sky hole more or less.  Did like, distracted Ultimate Aradia not realize exactly how long she was leaving Sollux for, ie forever?  Or did she “ascend” to Ultimate status later and hadn’t thought back to the full consequences of her actions within this timeline?  Or both?  From the looks of the link we’ll probably find out on the next pa--

--Wait.  Something else I just thought of, unrelated.

If Aradia is an Ultimate Self, that’s another coincidentally Ultimate version of someone hanging around that happens to be on the prospective list of Soul-Powered Jujus that might have their creation loops closed in the coming story.  Could those two things play into each other somehow?  Like instead of their souls getting stuffed into the items, their “Ultimateness” is?  Or as if that’s a necessary component, or...  no, I’m probably overthinking things.

> (Months in the past, but not many...)

Uh huh.  Is that flashing because he’s “watching” Aradia leave?  But I thought Aradia SAID she was leaving--

> (==>)

--and that black hole portal doesn’t look as cool as it sounded in the Epilogues.  But why was Aradia acting surprised, she said “I’ll probably just cut him loose” mere MOMENTS before entering the portal, did she mean “cut him loose” as in “I’m going to talk to him before leaving” and then just IMMEDIATELY forget that she didn’t say anything to him because she cared so little???

Wait.  Waaaait wait wait.  I think.  I think maybe I missed some subtext.  Lemme do some fuller quotes here:

ARADIA: oh sollux is in one of his moods ARADIA: this was all getting to be a bit much for him ARADIA: if i go ill probably just cut him loose DAVEBOT: good move

His gaze remains fixed on her. She blinks and looks away, unsure what to say next. He’s standing perfectly still, presumably waiting for her to say something. She met him... what was it? Once, twice before? She can’t remember. But she knows this is a very different Dave. Aside from the metal skin, he seems implacably confident. But then, people go through changes. She’s been through more than her share. She cocks an eyebrow, recalling her own stint with a metal body.

DAVEBOT: hey earth to whats your face ARADIA: oh ARADIA: its aradia

[...]

DAVEBOT: youre coming DAVEBOT: better decide quick i doubt that dank fuckin hell funnel is staying open for much longer ARADIA: yes i suppose so ARADIA: thats where all the action is right? DAVEBOT: all the action that matters yeah ARADIA: off we go then :) DAVEBOT: word

He holds out his hand. She looks around, and assumes he means for her to take it, so she does. She didn’t know someone could fly this fast. He nearly yanks her arm out of its socket. She considers reminding him that maybe this isn’t necessary, since she can fly too. But she doesn’t want to risk saying more embarrassing stuff around this outrageously cool dude. Besides, they’re through the wormhole before she can even finish the thought. It vanishes the moment they’ve crossed.

...this was a SHIPPING thing wasn’t it.  She’s impressed as hell with Striderbot, she SAID she’d cut things off with Sollux, and then she was so busy being swooped off her feet and into the portal that she forgot to actually say anything to him.  Is that what happened????

Ultimate Self Davebot x Ultimate Self Aradia.  Huh.  Didn’t see that coming.  (Though, again... they could make it SLIGHTLY clearer that this wasn’t just a blatant continuity error.)

Anyway, a rare-don’t-get-used-to-it [S] page...

> [S] (Gaze.)

...Okay that was kinda funny.

> (==>)

SOLLUX: h0w the fuck am i g0ing t0 get d0wn fr0m here.

HAH!  Okay, he’s taking it pretty well.  :)  --and THAT’s what she realized she forgot, giving him a flight down from the tower before leaving.

GOOD.  KEEP THINGS HUMOROUS EVEN WHEN LITERAL ABANDONMENT IS HAPPENING.  THAT’S the Homestuck I was missing.  :)  :)  :)

> Back to reality.

(Since the black hole is outside “canon” reality.)

Those are some cool poses-AHAH JESUS CHRIST ALT!JADE YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING XD

COULD YOU MAYBE HAVE CLEANED UP THE DRIED BLOOD AT SOME POINT OR IS SOME OF THAT FRESH FROM EATING MORE RAW MEAT

(Lord English’s blood leaving permanent timeless bloodstains would be a cool new thing to squeeze into canon i admit, i wouldn’t blame them for taking the excuse even if you could find small canon counterexamples I’m not sure of but dimly think might exist)

((ALSO SHE’S GONNA BE TINY NEXT TO THEM I DUNNO IF THAT MAKES IT MORE TERRIFYING OR LESS, PROBABLY MORE))

DAVEBOT: so youre telling me you dont even feel a little bad that you ditched him to be a weird death acolyte ARADIA: no i think he found my wiles both charming and irresistible DAVEBOT: not even an ounce of guilt or self doubt huh DAVEBOT: just like that DAVEBOT: no conversations about the greater good DAVEBOT: no revelations about your feelings

Is Aradia a jerk or weird?  Can’t decide.

ARADIA: do you often find your faith in yourself shaken like this or is it a new experience now that your mortal coil has been left behind DAVEBOT: what ARADIA: do you think now that all that is left of you is a literal ghost inside of a machine you are more or less likely to embrace finality DAVEBOT: oh dope more cult of one shit DAVEBOT: immortality changed you ARADIA: could it be that you are projecting your feelings onto my situation DAVEBOT: does not compute rose jr ARADIA: ... ARADIA: we dont have to talk about it DAVEBOT: thanks

Wow, I actually can’t follow this conversation at all.  Let me stare at it for a sec...

...okay, the first part she’s talking about DAVE’s faith in HIMself being shaken, not her own.  She’s not asking if he relates to HER experience, she’s contrasting it.

Then, asking if he’d be more likely to embrace death, or... Time?  Death.  Whether his self-worth has changed because he might view himself as “less real”, something Aradia doubtless struggled with when she was a robot who already had so many excuses to devalue herself at the time?  And then Dave talks about “cult of one” shit what does that even mean-...

OH.  Like she’s a death cult.  Gooot it.  Because Aradia’s of the position that death and ending should be celebrated, and Davebot understandably isn’t entirely bought in.  This is as hard to parse down as one would EXPECT conversations between two Ultimate Selves to be hard to parse down, unlike Rose and Dirk where their insane missions and glaring flaws shine bright enough through it all that you can follow their conversation flow easily.

JADE: They sit in each other's presence, the silence between them as meaningful as any words they could exchange. DAVEBOT: its always really cool to hear how meaningful my silences are DAVEBOT: especially while DAVEBOT: CALCULATING DAVEBOT: CALCULATING DAVEBOT: especially while i am attempting to experience them

Alt!Callie pulling a narrative-text AFTER a talk-identifier like “JADE:” is really hilarious in my opinion.

JADE: i do not need your approval. the story will continue how it must. DAVEBOT: beep boop hater detected ARADIA: wow is that true JADE: i am not a hater. DAVEBOT: classic hater line DAVEBOT: i know this because i am pouring through genuine actual quadrabytes of information on historys most notorious haters JADE: no, you aren’t.

Pffffff. This is pretty fun.

DAVEBOT: you are the exact opposite of a hater ARADIA: a liker DAVEBOT: ok DAVEBOT: perfect example your tolerance for whatever is going on with DAVEBOT: all this ARADIA: i think she looks quite lovely covered in the viscera of the all-powerful enemy she consumed ARADIA: floating lifelessly in our periphery ARADIA: observing our every action and noting its relevance :) DAVEBOT: uh huh thats what i mean

I was gonna note “liker” as additive for pointless classpect purposes, but really more quoting it just because I really enjoy this conversation.  I’m starting to get sold on the chemistry of these two a lot faster than I expected.

JADE: even though I understand that it must happen, i am growing frustrated with the direction of this conversation. DAVEBOT: do you want to talk about something else stinky JADE: what would you suggest?

How long has that dried fucking blood been on her

DAVEBOT: ok hear me out DAVEBOT: kanaya DAVEBOT: but like DAVEBOT: wearing huge jorts

That explains Homestuck’s twitter earlier

> Weeks in the future, relative to the original point of interest...

Wait wait which point of interest?  This time we were just viewing? *click*

I love what must be this shitty imagination-ship they’re using to cross the substrate of reality

> ==>

Whoaaaa.  So they DIDN’T stay in those outfits for long?  It showed them in a bunk bed earlier, it showed CallieJade still going around blood-covered afterward-- dammit, I’m having a hard time gauging exactly how much time is supposed to have passed between their entry into the black portal, their earlier conversation, and this moment.  And as likely as some are to call this poor scene composition, I can’t think it’s anything but intentional, given we’re dealing with a couple of Ultimate Time players bullshitting with each other.

Moments like these are not rare, and serve a valuable function to the story. They are able to show a passage of time with the bulk of the emotional labor of a lengthy bonding process happening off screen. How did we get here? What have they been through? These questions are often better left open to individual interpretation and can give the one interpreting a sense of ownership of the story.

See?  We’re being trolled is why.  (Even if the authors are pulling the trick Alt!Callie describes maybe a little too damn often, because a cut like this where we’re supposed to fill in the emotional gaps and intervening events ourselves as readers depends on readers’ faith that sensible events and decisions for these characters would OCCUPY the gaps, as if readers don’t have faith that what intervenes WOULD make sense to their understanding of the characters the way the authors are writing them... it just seems like an excuse to do whatever you want without adequately explaining yourself, when in reality if you’d spelled out the events that led to it we’d all cry foul at the mischaracterization.)

...okay, maybe I’m a BIT bitter.  Sorry.  Where were we?

JADE: As a point of curiosity- ARADIA: oh shit!!!!

The dead Cherub possessing the body of an equally deceased Goddess of Space pauses at the interruption.

She doesn’t talk much, then?  Too busy doing whatever talking you’d do as your other possessed Jade body?  Just how temporally related is you controlling THIS Jade compared to when you were controlling the other?  When that Jade pegged you as enjoying contact with friends, are these two just not enough for you, or did you “experience” the trips entirely separately?  I don’t THINK the alt!Callie possessing either Jade is a separate entity from the other, but...

Were she to voice her opinion, it would be that --actually-- it is not unusual for those whose primary concern is The Grander Scheme to have a passing curiosity about the insignificant. So when one really thinks about it, any annoyance with the attendant’s small mindedness is both understandable and warranted.

She pissed

...also, “the attendant”.  Even if “serve” is really the verb here, that phrasing really irks me as if she’s talking down to her.  Which, I mean, makes sense for alt!Callie’s character, but doesn’t make me feel better about this new definition being foisted on us.

ARADIA: :( JADE: as a point of order, you never answered dave’s question. ARADIA: which one he is very chatty JADE: you experience time in a way that is woefully unfamiliar to me and it has... piqued my curiosity enough to learn more. ARADIA: ?_? DAVEBOT: shes asking how old you are

Wait a minute, is Alt!Callie asking a question about a dropped topic from WEEKS ago?!  And is Davebot so in touch with Time and the meta ordering of topics that he actually CAUGHT ON that fast to what she was actually wondering about?????

This is getting more disorienting by the minute.

ARADIA: in this form our bodies stop aging once we reach maturity i think ARADIA: the god tier keeps our physical form locked in a state of undying ARADIA: even in death the bodies do not decay ARADIA: only lay dormant

THAT LAST PART IS FUCKING IMPORTANT.  It’s being brought up intentionally to tell us that JOHN’S DEAD BODY can still be in the wallet Terezi’s carrying around RIGHT NOW without having decayed over the past years.  I remember remarking in SOME previous HS^2 liveblog post of mine that I was alarmed by the decay that would have happened there (can’t find my remark on short notice and don’t really care to), so this explicitly dismisses it so we won’t be surprised by the fact that she could keep it in just-dead condition.

DAVEBOT: like how long have you been alive JADE: yes, that one.

[...]

ARADIA: oh maybe a few hundred years or so DAVEBOT: what JADE: what? ARADIA: well if i had known you were going to be so judgy about it DAVEBOT: when did this happen ARADIA: oh i spent some time in other doomed realities and timelines and came back before anybody could tell i was gone

Hm!

We knew she spent a LONG time in the dream bubbles, enough to talk to “pretty much all of the Nepetas”, but she was actually able to access a universe or universes and hop between them?  That’s not something any time traveller we’ve seen has been explicitly able to do intentionally before, quite like she’s describing.

DAVEBOT: oh just out for a bit of fun then DAVEBOT: just hopped on over to a different reality DAVEBOT: real casual like DAVEBOT: oh hello dont mind me just popping in to see if it really is as doomed as they say it is DAVEBOT: did not disappoint ARADIA: yes almost exactly like that :) DAVEBOT: who did you hang out with are they cooler than me ARADIA: it is complicated to explain DAVEBOT: oh ok nevermind then DAVEBOT: all clear

Yep, he’s kinda bewildered.  Is this Pesterquest stuff she’s referring to?  Did she stop by Pesterquest?

DAVEBOT: a whole alternate universe ripe with the coolest motherfuckers imaginable ARADIA: you were there too i threw your air conditioner into the sun DAVEBOT: wow thats fucked up DAVEBOT: thats not where that goes at all JADE: these events are not-canonical. ARADIA: rude

Ah!  Yeah, almost certainly Pesterquest.  (Still haven’t played that and have little inclination to now that I’m more sure we aren’t being gaslit with intentional continuity errors, just disappointed by actual continuity errors.)  Oh!  And that makes a bit more sense because I imagine that’s Black Hole territory, and that territory outside of Canon seems pretty rich and easy for time-travellers to hop between stories and timelines willy-nilly.  As they’re apt to in fanfics, which is the most appropriate way for things to be in that realm!

DAVEBOT: is that the trope of being hundreds of years old but looking young forever patently sucks ass DAVEBOT: a plot device an asshole would write ARADIA: :( JADE: that is not what i am trying to say at all. DAVEBOT: hmm wow yeah thatd really be a sort of pot/kettle situation i guess DAVEBOT: i cant believe im the only woke one here DAVEBOT: its hard being such a visionary AND such a fine metallic specimen DAVEBOT: but im an altruist first and fucking foremost ARADIA: so selfless JADE: yes, the greater narrative is truly blessed by your beneficent presence. DAVEBOT: oh so you got jokes now huh JADE: i have always had the ‘jokes’ of which you speak, but i have heretofore exercised restraint in laying you low. JADE: i possess knowledge of many of your iterations, as the scope of my powers allows me to exist in several narrative structures at once. DAVEBOT: but can she see why kids love the sweet cinnamon taste of cinnamon toast crunch JADE: i do not know, or care, what that means. ARADIA: neither do i :)

I’m actually really enjoying this conversation

JADE: its cultural significance to you as an earthling is wasted on the two of us entirely, as we have not conflated the misguided notion of clinging to nostalgic cereal advertisement trivia with socially relevant conversation.

Pff she literally checked her meta notes just now to learn what the cereal ads were after admitting she didn’t know what it meant and pretending not to care

Oh, closer look at Davebot.  Are those actual SHAPED shades over his robotic eye bulges?  Weird, I thought it was just a lazy line drawn between them with red sharpie at first, Sans style.  That would’ve been funny.

--oh, end of the update.  Guess that’s it for now!

...

Alright I know I’m A BIT BEHIND on covering the HS2 commentary,

But

I really would rather wait on that a bit longer if that’s alright.  Real busy and stressful week or two.  (Found out my hair is starting to thin noticeably at age 31!  Quite suddenly, too.  Blood test looks fine so it’s nothing serious... gonna see a doctor to check if anything can be safely done about that, it’s really hurting my self-esteem more than I thought it would.  Didn’t think it would hit my emotions that hard when it eventually happened, knew it was likely but not so SOON... really messing with my anxiety every time I accidentally touch my hair, now.  I’ll deal with it.)

If I sound really aimless in this post, I think it’s cause I am?  My mental and emotional energy’s REALLY drained.  I’m glad that June/July break in HS^2 happened when it did, and I’m definitely glad there’s apparently plenty in HS^2 I can really enjoy, if this update is anything to go by.  Maybe this comic can help lift me up instead of knocking me down.  :)

See y’all later!  More Patreon commentary blogging catchup after some other upd8.

[citruli]

Putting thoughts on TGWDLM AU here. Hidden under the cut for lots of text, TGWDLM spoilers, mentions of possession, and character death. it’s not nearly as dark as I make it sound though

It’d be Atsutodo centric, w Atsushi as Paul and Totty as Emma. They’re like the only characters that wouldn’t need a huge rewrite, maybe just make Atsushi a little more charming than Paul. I’d also make their relationship more established, they don’t have to already be a couple but definitely more friendly and crushing a lot more obviously.

Osototo could be Sam and Charlotte but not without a HUGE overhaul of their characters. Charlotte is too much of a coward to be a good fit for Totoko and I would just eliminate the fact that Sam/Osomatsu is a cop. Osomatsu is actually kinda tough because I don’t really like him in any other role so he’d end up being the one who’s most like their canon self. Like he’d just be A Guy that Totoko is dating and shows up later to try and kill her. The main draw of Osototo in these roles is the absolute powercouple-ness that comes after they both get possessed, as brief as it is before they die for real.

Nyaa-chan could be Ted but again with a big change of the role. Mostly I just think it’d be funny of Totoko was cheating on Osomatsu w her. She’d be a lot less of a sleazeball and more just concerned/crushing on Totoko. 

Ichimatsu as Alice started as a joke but then I thought about it for more than two seconds and OUCHIES! A secret longing to be loved and wanted by his family only to grow resentful when he feels like he’s being sidelined and ignored? And he doesn’t even get to have that before he gets possessed? Fucking ow! Debating if I’d still want him to be a teenager or an adult, but I would put Choromatsu in Bill’s place regardless and just change their relationship so they’re bothers instead of father/son. Theyd be the only two of the Matsus who are actually related in this AU.

Choromatsu as Bill probably wouldn’t need too much reworking? Just again they’re brothers and instead of an ex-wife he’s fighting with over Ichimatsu he’s just trying to get custody of him after their parents passed? Assuming I go the teen Ichimatsu route. But oooooohhh my god the ANGST the HURT of him blaming himself for Ichimatsu’s death. Being unable to shoot Ichimatsu himself and getting killed for it. Iro angst is OUT Nenchuu angst is IN.

Yes Yanagida is here. Yes he’s Deb. Choromatsu likes him a little more than Bill did Deb in the OG muscial.

And that leaves Karamatsu. The catalyst for this AU that now haunts me. Show Stopping Number is the most Karamatsu bullshit I’ve ever seen and there’s no fruitcake that could fit the role of Professor Hidgens like he would. Specifically thinking Lawyer Karamatsu for this to get that Hidgens level of bonkers. I forget if they ever established what Hidgens teaches but I guess for this AU I’d just make it … ethics or something I don’t actually know what law professors teach. But it’d need to be something most students take so Totty has a reason to be there and know him. 

Jyushimatsu.....I just don’t have a good spot for him. All that’s really left are background characters or to maybe rewrite it so he and Ichimatsu are twins but I don’t know. I cant figure out a good way to shoehorn him in. 

I’m talking as if I’m going to do anything with this AU but I don’t honestly know. A musical About musicals is probably the worst media to try and convert to any sort of fic or whatnot. But I don’t have the time or energy to make it a full comic, I have no ability to make this a real musical, so fic is the only feasible option.

I might just be a hater but I personally am not a fan of reading lyrics, if I see it in fics I usually just skip over it because it just ever has the same affect as hearing it for me. But maybe I'm wrong and people don’t mind it? The other option is to eliminate the fact that the aliens make people sing and just have it be regular possession etc, but then I feel it just becomes another zombie au and you miss out on a lot of great moments that come with the songs.

There’s a chance I might still write a fic for this once I figure out how to approach it. because who doesn’t like reading stories where everyone is dead at the end?

[khiphop-discussions]

It's official. Jay will retire after his last worldtour around end 2021. Dude is really going to do it. Idk whenever things don't go his way he is so "negative" about it. Because you know many Asian american still want him to be doing stuff in america. What happened to that? What happened to "this is for all the Asian" ..

He said he wanted to retire because he doesn't feel appreciated and only gets hate all the time. He acknowledged that he is more r&b and he is good at that.

But I just don't know why he would also open more business when he has such a long career a head of him. No wonder you would also want to retire from it.

He could just SING?!?!?! OMG just retire from rap and sing?!?!?! That might be what he’s actually planning on doing? IDK, you would know better than me. I learned of this from you lol.

Also, he gets SOOO much more love than hate. Like most people are more FANS of Jay or at least feel ok to indifferent about him than haters I feel like.

I see how the hate wears down on him after awhile and he’s probably tired of that so I understand but just SING! So many people who aren’t even fans would flip if he sang. I”m saying this because I’m actually REALLY interested in JAy’s singing song. Stuff like “Drive” or “Also I wanna do”, “My Last”? I LOVE those songs. I think it’d be a waste when korea i severely lacking R&B artists who can really do their thing. Jay is actually one of the best R&B people in Korea. Personally, I prefer him to Dean and Zion.T and pretty much everyone outside of....this is gonna be funny but....2PM (Their R&B songs are actually pretty fire..and I’m NOT big on 2PM outside of their R&B songs AT ALL) and Taeyang.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen him get dragged for his singing songs. Just his rapping.

Ship meme for Komamura

I think this ship, while a slight crackship for me, is a bit underrated. I understand not wanting to pair these two, Nagito and Seiko in case you didn’t know who I was talking about, but this is purely my opinion. I never really ship Komaeda with anyone usually, but this ship is a fun one to talk about because of how obscure it is. Anyway, let’s get into it. Just so you know, I picture them as a couple that are basically a pair of self-deprecating dimwits who work together to love themselves as well as each other.

Who confessed first?

Nagito did, but it was mainly because he was complimenting Seiko on her talent and stuff and Seiko took it the wrong way. Neither of them regret that misunderstanding though.

Who initiated the first kiss?

Nagito probably. It’d sort of be on instinct I think, and they’d both be really embarrassed afterwards. It would probably be cute if Seiko took off her mask for him.

Who asks the other out on dates?

Hard to say, but maybe Nagito, since Seiko would be a bit too skittish.

Who is the bigger cuddler?

Nagito likes cuddles, but is a little too nervous to do them. Seiko is also nervous, but whenever she suddenly holds Nagito close, he returns the love.

Who initiates holding hands more often?

Similarly to Mikan, Seiko will do it naturally. Nagito is filled with warmth whenever she does and sometimes refuses to let go.

Who remembers anniversaries?

Nagito for sure remembers them. He remembers any important date so long as it’s about her.

Who is more possessive?

Nagito is pretty willing to spend time with Seiko. Seiko also needs to keep an eye on Nagito to stop him doing anything weird when someone, usually Ruruka, says something about Seiko that he doesn’t agree with.

Who gets more jealous?

Definitely Nagito, but that’s the normal Nagito style “I’m envious of your talent, you’re such a great ultimate” jealousy. 

Who is the most protective?

While not really showing much care usually, he often stands up to Seiko’s haters/bullies whenever he finds them talking shit. Seiko is usually there to stop him doing something he’d regret though. 

Who initiates sexy time the most?

“Sexy time” is a bit much. Usually Seiko’s the one who initiates it though.

Who dislikes PDA (Public Display of Affection)?

Nagito can get a bit carried away at times, but neither he nor Seiko really care for it that much.

Who kills the spider?

Seiko isn’t scared of spiders, so she’ll take them outside. Nagito accidentally steps on it, or squishes it.

Who asks the other to marry them?

Honestly, I think Seiko would be the one to ask. Nagito would probably never have even considered getting married to Seiko, let alone dating her. I think it would take a bit of prompting from her friends to actually do it though. I see Ruruka, Sonosuke and maybe Yukizome being wingmen for her. Similarly, if the roles were reversed, I see Chiaki, Hajime and maybe Mikan trying to convince Nagito to do it first.

Who buys the other gifts?

I don’t think either of them are casual gift givers, but I picture Nagito going all out with gifts when it’s Seiko’s birthday. Even after it’s all over, he still gives her gifts, and Seiko’s like “My birthday was a few days ago though...” and Nagito’s like “I don’t care! I love you!”

Who would first bring up the idea of having kids?

This is a challenging one. I honestly don’t think either of them would plan to have a kid, and Seiko would just get pregnant naturally, you know? By that I mean they made a child without even realising it. However, I see Nagito welling up with tears of joy at the reveal, like, he’s not upset or disappointed at all, which Seiko wouldn’t really expect. I think they’d be good parents and the child would be born very healthy. Maybe this whole thing was a result of Ultimate Luck?

Who is more nervous to meet the others parents?

It’s hard to say what kind of people either of their parents are. I think Nagito’s parents passed away though, due to an accident that happened on a plane, but assuming their not gone in this non-despair AU of sorts, I’m gonna say that Seiko would be nervous to meet Nagito’s parents, because they’re apparently very wealthy and high-class people, and she’d be worried about meeting their standards.

Who sleeps on the sofa/couch when the other is angry?

I don’t think Seiko or Nagito would usually get angry at each other, but I think most arguments stem from Nagito’s unnecessary actions for the sake of hope. Seiko would get pretty mad and storm into the bedroom, and Nagito would probably stay on the couch, but not actually sleep.

Who tries to make up first after arguments?

It could go two ways. Nagito would apologise to Seiko whenever they get a moment together in privacy, and he’d pour his heart into his apology. He’s not the type of person who changes that easily, and most of his actions are instinctive, but he knows that’s no excuse and tells Seiko that he loves her and cares about her, not wanting to make any problems, and Seiko would usually forgive him. The other way, which relates to the first question, is that after realising Nagito isn’t getting any sleep on the couch, Seiko would go and lay with him, and they’d make up from there.

Who tells the other they love them more often?

I obviously think Nagito would.

Who accidentally pushes a door instead of pulling it or vice versa?

Nagito never knows when to push or pull a door, but whatever he does, it always works. Seiko does this.

Who doodles little hearts over the desk with their initials inside?

Nagito does it, but never remembers doing it. Someone will eventually call him out on it and show him, and he’ll be surprisingly embarrassed. 

Who starts the tickle fights?

Nagito will randomly find where Seiko is ticklish and things will escalate from their.

Who starts the pillow fights?

Similarly to what I said about Sayaka and Leon, Seiko usually pillow fights with Ruruka, and then Sonosuke and Nagito both get dragged in and involved.

Who is the last to fall asleep while watching the other with a warm smile?

Nagito.

Who kisses the other awake in the morning?

Seiko.

Who mistakes salt for sugar?

Seiko is naturally a bit more noticeable of this, since baking isn’t too dissimilar to when she adds things to her medicines. Nagito wouldn’t make the mistake, but would more than Seiko, that’s all I’m saying.

Who let’s the microwave play the loud beeping sound at 1am in the morning?

Nagito. Seiko usually turns it off.

Who comes up with the cheesy pickup lines?

Seiko. She tries a little too hard to be flirty sometimes. 

Who rearranges the books in Alphabetical Order?

Both of them.

Who licks the spoon when baking?

Seiko. Nagito sometimes does the same after, making an indirect kiss.

Who buys candles for dinner, even when there’s no special occasion?

Nagito, but neither of them really.

Who draws little tattoos on one another with a pen?

Seiko draws funny things on Nagito.

Who comes home with a souvenir/fridge magnet whenever they go on holiday?

Seiko probably.

Who convinces the other to fill out those couple surveys that you usually find on the back of magazines?

Seiko would probably ask, but read them herself first.

Who has the other as their phone background?

Nagito, amazingly enough.

Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror?

I see Nagito doing this for a bit of a joke.

Who asks if they can join the other in the shower?

I picture something pretty funny with this. With hus Ultimate Bullshit Luck power, I think Nagito would accidentally walk in on Seiko while she’s in the shower. I think she’d invite him in, or ask him to wash her back her. 

Who loudly proclaims their love while drunk?

Nagito has pretty high alcohol tolerance. Seiko isn’t loud drunk, but is grumpy drunk, so she’d proclaim their love furiously while drunk.

Some Angst with a fluffy ending

Warnings: mentions of fainting

—————————————————————————

It’s been six long months since you were invited to be in BTS as their 8th member.  When the idea was brought up that you’d be joining,  the boys were skeptical but Bang PD had given many good points in his arguments as to why you were exactly what the group needed.

You were to be put through a probationary period for a while to make sure that you’d be a good fit, before they announced it to the media. The longer you trained with BTS, dancing and singing along side of them, the more the thought of you truly having a place in the group really grew on them.

Aside from realizing you were exactly what they needed for their work, it had dawned on them that you were exactly what they needed in every part of their life.  Taehyung and Jungkook started to wake up every morning looking forward to the amusing conversations you’d share with them over breakfast. Jimin and Hobi loved helping you master each dance routine, switching from the frustrated criticisms they had given when you first started, to proud and overjoyed remarks at each step you perfected.

You’d even find yourself in Namjoon or Yoongi’s studio on some days getting asked to give feedback on some new lyrics or a new mix they were working on, and Jin had made it his goal to make you laugh at least once a day.  Yes, you were now a necessary part of their life.  But, that didn’t mean it wasn’t a surprise when all eight of you gathered alone in a room together one Friday night and they proposed the idea of dating, all of them... together... at once.  

You thought they were joking at first.  You had looked to Taehyung to see if his expression would crack and give away their prank, but it did no such thing, only seriousness and honesty graced his expressions.  

“I just don’t see how this would work?” You had said, still taken aback by the fact that this was an actual idea the other 7 members of your group had discussed before bringing it up to you.

Namjoon speaks up first, “It’d be just like how it is now” he smiled sincerely. “We’d see each other most every day, the only difference being that we’d be able to kiss you any time we wanted to” he smirked

“We’d obviously keep it a secret from the public, wouldn’t want people to think you were joining the group for anything but your talent” Yoongi added “because that’s the truth, but you know how the media can twist things”

“I really hope you say yes y/n! I want you to be mine!” Chirped Jimin, and a chorus of

“and mine” and “me too!” ‘s,  sounded out flirtatiously from each of the other boy’s lips.

“Why...me?” you stuttered “Each of you could literally have anyone you wanted, in the whole world” you added in “There’s seven of you...I can’t imagine that just one…well, one me, would be enough for you?”

Jungkook stepped forward and stood close to you with a gentle smile, “You’re so beautiful, and talented, and funny, and the only one that we want, you are more than enough for us”

After that day, you weren’t just an 8th member of BTS, you were their lover as well.

----------------------------------------------

When they finally debuted you to the public after putting you through a training period, the response wasn’t quite what they had expected.  They had warned you that there might be some hate, and to just ignore it and brush it off like they do.  But the responses were overwhelming in a way even they couldn’t have imagined.  

Everything from your dancing, your singing, your hair, your, body, to even the way you were caught eating funny on camera once, was ridiculed and harshly roasted by the fans.  Online petitions were made to try and plead Bighit to kick you out of the group.  Every video posted to Youtube that included you had the comments section bombarded with hate messages about how you were ruining everything.

You had worked so hard to get to this point, and now you felt like it was all for nothing, ruining not just your own reputation but all of BTS’s previous reputation they’d worked so hard to achieve.

The weeks following, you had barely left the dance studio, even when the rest of the group had gone home you’d stay late and give your everything to your work.  

You tried to brush off all the hate like they’d told you to, and put on a convincing smile in front of the boys, but it was eating you alive inside.  You channeled it all into your practicing and only shed an occasional tear when no one was looking.

The boys could tell something was up and would try and get you to talk with them, giving you advice about how it would get better and you just had to stick it out until it did, and that they weren’t going to kick you out of the group no matter how many petitions were signed.

You did appreciate them trying to make you feel better, but it didn’t stop you from pushing your body to its breaking point every day up until your first live performance with them.

You hadn’t told them, but as the days went on you’d been feeling more and more dizzy each time you got to the end of dancing through the set list.  You’d done a pretty good job at hiding it, up until the day of the rehearsal for the big comeback performance.  You had just nailed the last move in ‘Not today’ when suddenly the room started spinning, and before you could sit down or catch yourself, everything went black.

When you fluttered your eyes open, you were no longer on the practice stage but on a dressing room couch that one of the boy’s must’ve carried you to.

All seven of them were there, eyes clouded with worry and anxiety.  Jimin was holding your hand, and Taehyung was pacing back at forth in the room muttering to himself about how stupid he was for not noticing you were pushing yourself that hard.

They realized you had opened your eyes and all gasped in relief.  Jin quickly was at your side brushing his hand gently on your forehead and planting a small kiss on your cheek, “Thank god y/n, they said you’d be fine, but that didn’t stop me from nearly dying from worry”

Jungkook joined in beside Jin and nodded, “Same here, why didn’t you say anything? The doctor said it was exhaustion and that you’d probably been feeling your body slowly giving out on you for weeks if not over a month!”

Namjoon’s eyes were burning, wet with the tears he was trying so hard to hold back. “y/n you should’ve told us.”

Upon seeing Namjoon’s forming tears, you couldn’t stop your own from instantly pouring down your face, “I j-just, wanted it all to be perfect.” You brought your hands to your face, hiding yourself from them in embarrassment “Everyone hates me, everyone thinks you’d be better off without me. I-I just wanted to prove to them that they were wrong, and that I deserved to be a part of the amazing group I felt so lucky to be in.  But no matter what I did, everyone found a way to make fun of me somehow.”

Yoongi frowned at you from where he stood behind Jin and Jungkook.  “Y/N…” he paused “please, just stick it out, I swear it will get better and they will love you.  If they can’t see how amazing you are, that's on them. Please promise me you’ll never push yourself this hard again” He looked intensely into your eyes. “Especially, to impress haters” he spat.

You nodded somberly, wiping your eyes with the back of your hand, “okay...I promise”

Hoseok, who had been silent the whole time typing on his phone, finally spoke up excitedly with a large grin spreading across his face. “Y/N, Look!” he shoved his phone screen towards you.   “Your first fan page!” It was true, there was a site completely dedicated to you, called ‘Y/N Smiles’ filled with pictures someone must’ve taken at different points since you’d debuted.  Tears started forming again, this time from pure joy.  Jimin beamed at you holding your hand tight. “See, we told you! People will love you y/n. You’ve only seen the hate because its been louder than the love.  But there is love for you”

“And we love you” Taehyung added in.

“So never push yourself this hard again”

BTS as your best friends:

I’m kind of proud of this and it’s my first one so yeah. If you like it please like or reblog, it’d mean the world to me. Thank you! x

KIM SEOKJIN

okay hands down Jin would be such a good best friend

He’s very protective of you

10/10 would get triggered if someone hurt/upset you

comforts you by putting on a funny movie and chills with you on the sofa or tells you an endless supply of his dad jokes

If you go shopping with him, it’d be like a father and child moment

he keeps telling you to stop messing with stuff on the shelves

continuously jokes around and tells you to put things back

and will definitely ask you what you think he should eat next on EatJin

actually, when he does EatJin you’re usually behind the camera just lying around on his bed or whatever, keeping quiet and playing games on your phone

because I get the impression that Jin loves it when he’s got company and he’s in someone else’s presence

asjskjskjsjs does that even make sense

like he just wants you to be there

even if you ain’t doing anything together

you’re just doing your own thing while he does his

he loves that

also because he’s a Mario fan, and he can be extra af, I think if you guys couldn’t decide who got to choose, between the two of you, something like which takeaway you should order

then you are playing Mario Kart and the winner gets to choose

and boi boy does he get competitive at Mario Kart

if you do win though, expect to witness a spluttery loud-ass Jin

not that he genuinely cares that you get to choose the food

I mean, he loves food so whatever you choose he will eat anyway

but he gets chaotic because he knows you find it funny

he’ll do anything to make you laugh

believe me when I say Jin lives to see you happy

being your best friend, he’s seen you upset and at your worse

which upset him in return

so he makes it his mission to make you smile and laugh when you’re with him

MIN YOONGI

Lets you chill in his studio whenever you want

you even have the password

you just walk in most evenings, pass him some food and drinks, and try your best to help him with whatever he’s working on this time

he appreciates this so much

you still annoy him a lot but lets be honest he wouldn’t want it any other way

the other guys often say that you and Yoongi are like a couple

surprisingly Yoongi doesn’t really care that they call you guys a couple

matter of fact, it probably doesn’t help the situation that you and Yoongi are  a l w a y s  cuddling

Like if you are on the sofa watching a film with the guys, you best expect his head to be on your shoulder, face nuzzled into your neck, arms draped over your stomach, by the end of the night

he just finds you comfy

similarly, if you are with him in his studio and its really late

and you refuse to leave without him because you know he’s tired too

he’ll be all huffy for a bit, but neither of you end up leaving because you’re both so stubborn

instead you’ll end up on his lap, your face on his chest, while he continues to work

and when he’s finally done, if you look too exhausted he’ll just take you back to his place and let you stop there for the night

you always beg him to teach you the piano

“but Yoongi you’re the piano god”  “go away y/n”

he insults you everyday but only because he loves you and he knows you can handle it because you insult him right back

you balance each other out perfectly

he’s calm and collected

you’re more bubbly and giggly enthusiastic

both of you are equally savage though

normally all you do is either hang out at his place or his studio

if you do go out then it’ll be at night, where it is typically quieter

you’ll go get a coffee or some food and just drive around, talking for ages and listening to music, time running away with you

so much sass omg

JUNG HOSEOK

Takes you shopping and judges your fashion choices

when he comes back from tour, he’ll have lots of gifts for you even though you always tell him not to bring you anything back

also if you used to be scared of loud noises well,, lets just say you’re not anymore

you’re used to his happy outbursts and sound effects

but you also know the other side to him that the public doesn’t see

ofc he’s not always going to be the happy, bubbly jhope you see through the cameras

he can truly be himself when he’s around you and he can relax

but when he is acting loud and chirpy he sort of rubs off on you

like your enthusiasm is fed by his enthusiasm

so good luck to those around you because they basically have to handle jhope x2

you get on so well with his family, especially his sister

with his sister being into clothes and fashion too, when you visit her with hoseok, she always compliments your outfits

and hobi will be smirking in the corner because (like i said above) he takes you shopping

and trust me, he would not let you leave that shop with ugly clothes

have you seen that man

he’s the fashion icon

so he takes full credit for every one of your outfits

always gets you to dance with him

he enjoys teaching you new BTS choreography

you’re both easily scared so if there’s a bug for example, the situation would go down like this

“Hobi you get rid of it!”

“No why should it be me? I think you should do it”

“No, i’m scared! You do it!”

“Y/N you’re closer to it, just do it!”

This arguing back and forth lasts for a few minutes until the bug flies/crawls away and you both run off screaming that its gonna attack you

so yeah, literally never a dull moment when Hoseok is your best friend!

KIM NAMJOON

Lowkey wants you both to match outfits but he would never ask you

could either be goofy with you or he’ll go completely psychological on your ass

there’s no in-between with Joon

You sometimes have to remind him that hes only human and reassure him he’s a great leader because I feel like he’d sometimes get in his own head and let the haters get to him, yknow?

You just gotta keep telling him he’s doing a great job and help him not let the stress get the better of him

You’re always there for him, supporting him

and he’s always there for you too

listens to all your problems

he gives the best advice

he’s also very protective of you

yknow when he clenches his jaw? or he raises one of his eyebrows? omg please tell me you know what i’m talking about well he’d do that if some one hurt you and he’d get hella mad

your family love him

they say he’s a very positive influence on you

he gets you to help him write lyrics because you’re his “muse”

he always convinces bighit to let you come on tour

even if he has to pay for you himself, you are coming

always leaves his broken stuff in your room

recommends you books to read (regardless of whether you actually like to read or not)

he is also the reason why you’re dirty minded

like forget expensive girl, have you ever heard ‘trouble’??

you’ll be with the other guys and you two just accidentally end up speaking English and the other guys are like..um hELLO?

PARK JIMIN

okay so I can imagine Jimin buying him and his best friend matching necklaces or something?

hear me out

its christmas day and Jimin passes you a small black box

inside is a necklace with a small key on it and engraved onto the key is “PJM 1995″ 

and you’re like “why have you gotten me a necklace with YOUR initials and birth year”

and then he shows you his necklace and it has your initials and your birth year

like this idea is so cute it makes me so soft sjweufbewjfn

will flirt with you just to make you laugh or maybe because he loves you or wHaTeVeR

he gives the best hugs

like BTS have already confirmed this in an interview

if you’re feeling down and need a hug, Jimin is your man 

he is always with you

and if he isn’t, then he is texting you

you guys are inseparable

if he gets drunk around you then you’re gonna have this clingy, sappy, emotional, koala of a man wrapped around you for the night because he will not leave your side even for a second

its cute tho

but that also means he has a hard time during tour because you are usually not there with him

always drags you to his family parties and such 

you love to go, and he knows you do, but you always whine when he asks you just to make him laugh 

his mom loves you!!

not gonna lie she ships you both and when you go see her, Jimin has to beg her not to say anything about it to you

he loves to rest his head on your shoulder and you like to do the same

G I G G L E S

If you mention how short he is then good luck because he’s gonna chase you down and tickle you until he hears an apology

not that he really cares though

he just jumps at any chance to see a smile on your face

KIM TAEHYUNG

personal hype man

his camera roll is full of pictures of you

hates it when you’re sad

if you’re sad then just letting you know you’re in for a treat

he would organise a sleepover and would aim to cheer you up for the entire night

you always laugh at his pingu impression 

you’re like Yeontan’s mom 

yeontan l o v e s you

you’ll go to Tae’s house and as soon as you open the door, yeontan will run straight to you 

you walk yeontan together at night whilst you share headphones listening to whatever’s on tae’s playlist

recommends you music because hands down this boy has the best taste in music FITE ME

He’s a big fan of skinship so people actually mistake you guys for a couple sometimes

plays with your hair all the time

your parents love him and treat him like he’s part of the family

your parents would genuinely love it if you two dated 

Tae doesn’t mind it when they ask you questions like

“so are you two together yet?”

but you get annoyed purely because you find it so embarrassing

Tae just laughs it off and makes a joke out of it

“no i could never date y/n because her feet smell”

if you need a hug, he’s there

and he’ll sway you side to side and by the end of it you’re laughing so much because he’s hella goofy and you love it

JEON JUNGKOOK

Bullies you all day everyday (but you know he’s only joking)

sends you memes when you both should be asleep

he definitely has a crush on you or at least he has had one at some point in time

doesn’t stop teasing you

he’s so competitive and has to prove he’s better than you in everything

likes to hug you from behind

eats steals your food

you constantly steal his hoodies and he gets annoyed

but he can’t stay mad at you for too long though

he lives for your compliments

though it normally ends up with you playfully hitting his chest when his ego grows a little too big

he is never serious with you

always has his arm around you, it’s like a habit

always stares at you 

always bursts into your room to hang out and then ends up sleeping in your bed

when he’s feeling cocky, he takes his shirt off and tries to make you feel his muscles

when he’s all sweaty from either going to the gym or dance practice, he makes it his mission to find you and get you to hug him while you’re screaming that he’s all sweaty and “gross”

the guys are convinced you two are dating

and Guk lowkey wishes you were but you didn’t hear that from me ;)

he wants you to play with his hair 24/7

being best friends with him means that, if you weren’t already into video games, then you definitely are now

Status of shows that debuted in the 2010s

To set the record straight, I shall now identify shows from Cartoon Network and Disney Channel/XD and their status. Those marked orange are those of which I’ve only seen some episodes or a few. Those marked red I’ve never watched.

Sim-Bionic Titan - Canceled (Genndy Tartakovsky said 10 more episodes were planned out. The main antagonist has yet to be vanquished or eradicated. It’s on Netflix if you want to boost views.)

Adventure Time - Ended (I never watched a lot of it, but I know there is a batch of new special episodes coming to HBO Max.)

Regular Show - Ended (Last few episodes were as epic and amazing as can be, and the part where 25 years go by cements the fact that J.G. Quintel got to end it his way.)

The Amazing World of Gumball - Probably ended (Apart from the unique mixture of animated characters and realistic scenery, I’m not sure what the viewers and the executives see in this one.)

Fish Hooks - Ended (Fewer people seem to acknowledge this, but it got three seasons and a satisfying end, much to Noah Z. Jones’s relief.)

Gravity Falls - Ended (Seriously, if everything got wrapped up right, why in the heck is the fandom still thriving? Do you see a campaign anywhere called SaveGF? There’s no Christmas special to be found, either. Unless a third season was planned out, I suggest you let it go.)

Wander Over Yonder - CANCELED (Totally different from ended, I cannot stress this enough, especially with the space pod cliffhanger and Lord Hater not yet fully reformed. One more season or one TV movie is all we ask for.)

Uncle Grandpa - Ended, more or less (Pete Browngardt made a substantial number of episodes and did as much as he wanted.)

Steven Universe (+ Future) - Ended (I haven’t seen the movie or the Future season, but I assume Rebecca Sugar, or as she’s probably called now, Rebecca Jones-Quartey, got to tie all loose ends.)

Clarence - Ended (Like Fish Hooks, this seemingly underrated show about a rather naive, funny-sounding, earless boy from Arizona got three seasons and an actual ending - the last episode had the words “Thank you for watching.”)

The 7D - Partially Ended - (The last episode they showed apparently implied the Glooms have run out of options. It’d be nice if we could see what the 19 episodes that were cut from S2 were.)

Penn Zero: Part-Time Hero - Ended (It left no loose ends. Ever seen the Tangled series? This show is animated pretty much the same way. Still recommend checking it out if you haven’t already.)

Star vs. the Forces of Evil - Ended... I think (Although it has four seasons, which is more than what we expect nowadays (I mean, I stopped watching after two seasons), some fans are claiming the end was not particularly exemplary.)

Mighty Magiswords - I wanna say... stopped (While there’s no cliffhanger or any indication that more adventures are on the way, I saw somewhere that Kyle A. Carrozza planned to show some newer places and the Magiclamp, which was said to make Super Teamwork Combos permanent.)

Milo Murphy’s Law - Ended maybe? (Because my trust in the Disney television executives was dwindling, I lost interest after 13 half-hours. Guess what, though, Milo Murphy was said to make a cameo appearance in the Disney+-exclusive Phineas and Ferb movie: Candace Against the Universe.)

Tangled: the Series/Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventures - Ended (This sits between the film and the short wherein Rapunzel and Eugene get married. Stopped watching for same reason mentioned above.)

Billy Dilley’s Super Duper Subterranean Summer - Ended (I didn’t see any plans for another season, and that last episode played out as a true series finale. Besides, it takes place during one season.)

OK KO! Let’s Be Heroes - Ended (When Ian Jones-Quartey was notified of cancelation during production on S3, he was able to tie all loose ends and thankfully end it his way. The one thing the show ever did wrong was call a flask a beaker (twice).)

Still in production, as far as I know: Mickey Mouse shorts, DuckTales (2017) (only saw first 3 episodes), Big Hero 6: the Series, Big City Greens, Amphibia, We Bare Bears, Craig of the Creek (only saw first episode), Apple and Onion (I think, yet to see S2), Victor and Valentino (except the pilot), Infinity Train (except the pilot).

Goodness knows it isn’t as though I’m not open-minded. I’m willing to watch what I haven’t seen, but I’m too disappointed in the TV bosses and the majority of the viewers to do so.

Oh, and let’s not forget the Netflix-exclusive DreamWorks shows that definitely ended right, including, but not limited to, All Hail King Julien, Dragons: Race to the Edge, DinoTrux, Dawn of the Croods, and Trolls: The Beat Goes On!

Better think twice before you comment on cartoons and stuff.
