henlo the juice in that mh separation au sounds BANGING and if you feel like it i would love to press X for more dialogue 👀👀👀💕

(it took a bit for me to loop back around to this BUT let’s goooo!! Thanks for showing interest beloved 💕)

The mh separation/reunion AU (do I have a name outside of the song that first inspired it? It could be like the “something blue” AU for like. Wedding reasons. ANYWAY) is fun largely because it’s a chance to explore how Haru isolating himself or running long-term could’ve affected the Tachibanas, but I’ve been lingering a little more lately on the Haru details of those years spent apart. In this universe, it’s not as if Haru and Makoto dramatically never talk again after the fireworks fight, but something… shifts. This time, Haru doesn’t have that quick turnaround on what he wants to do with his future, especially in a way that has him (still confused and cagey) ready to uproot and choose Tokyo. So, he watches his friends get ready to transition into their hopeful futures, chase after their dreams, and tries to fade into the background. Out of everything he feels, the two he learns to put a name to are “unremarkable” and “untethered.” This is what he said he wanted once, right? To be “ordinary,” to be “free?” He doesn’t let anyone close enough to tell him otherwise and uses those two emotions as his reason to recede further into himself and away from the people who (he convinces himself) are ready to let him go in pursuit of the future. He doesn’t repeat his blow-ups with Rin or Makoto, but he resigns himself to both of them leaving as an inevitability, and he plans to do exactly what he did as a scared kid every other time somebody decided to leave: throw himself into the familiarity of routine and creature comforts for as long as possible until he feels safe enough to take another step.

I don’t have the clearest idea of Haru’s entire timeline between one of the last times the Tachibanas see Haru (right before Makoto plans on moving to his apartment) and when Ran finds him at his uncle’s bakery, but I’ve been think about how those years might look to him in retrospect, specifically in the context of Ran reintroducing the possibility of Haru seeing Makoto again after so long. He was recruited by extended family over into their business and their lives at his lowest/bleakest (practically unreachable to all of his friends and almost hiding away in his house from the town he thought he wanted to cling to), and his time with them led to inevitable changes and a life forming for him, whether he intended it or not. As much as he wants to say these years are divorced from his friends and life before, that’d be a lie and a disservice to all of the memories that shaped him.

For all of the ways he tries to avoid thinking about Makoto… some nights, man. I think I said it before, but it’s like trying to forget the feeling of hunger until one mundane trigger makes you realize you’re starving. Of course his best friend’s influence is woven into many of the ways he relearns and knows how to care for the world (build himself a present, if not a future, piece by piece), and every little bit that he notices is a reminder of how much Haru misses him. Whether it’s all platonic, romantic, or something else entirely, Haru only knows that it’s heavy and haunting. He misses having him in any form beyond a memory.

But, Haru left first. He’s the one that stretched the distance between them until he couldn’t hear Makoto call out his name anymore. What was he supposed to do, chase him belatedly? Try and covet that big bright spirit for himself after being the one to push it away in all of his fear? There were so many nights here and there where he thought about reaching out, but he didn’t know what would hurt worse: seeing how Makoto moved on and didn’t need or want Haru back in his life, or being welcomed back hastily just to disappoint him again. Time stretched on, the yearning/reminiscence came in as sporadic pangs, and Haru could never bring himself to reach out (out of fear, out of shame, out of… a lot of things, really). “The one that got away” and “right person, wrong time,” so it goes.

Those old resignations all get called into question as soon as Ran has anything to say about it, though. She is going to have those idiots face each other one way or another, because the few meetings she spends back around Haru again makes clear something she has maintained the whole time: Haru didn’t stop caring about them, not really. Soooo, why not make planning her special day a chance to scheme a little bit, just to see what happens?

whump awakening

oh man, this is embarrassing, but i have memories as early as like 8 or 9, staying up in bed trying to sleep and imagining little people hurting each other. whips were frequently involved, or poison, or dying for somebody just after confessing your love, or dying in order to confess love...i was born a freak basically

[honeydots]

12, 15, 20!!!! whenever you can, please take your time my dear friend!!! 💕🥰

HI KAT!!! its still.... january.... ringing in the new year with the wrapped game..... (<- girl who is a month late)

12. How Many WIPs do you have in your docs for next year?

oh my god. OODLES of wips. i have 30+ items in my xnlw wip folder alone and those are just the ones i wrote down. as far as ones i really plan to WRITE in 2024.... 5? or at least, im feeling confident that i'll write them. i.... HOPE.... i will write them.....

15. What WIP are you taking into next year with you?

the most obvious answers are probably my longfics, and then my xnlw midwinter fics that'll be out next week tee hee. but i think the BIGGEST one is gonna be the next longfic i do after i finish stigmata!! i've been on the fence over which longfic idea i wanna to do next, but if im being honest my og plan (yet another single parents fic bc this is the way i am) needs revamping. so im doing a different one instead, and i'm very excited for it. so once some of my overall fic stuff slows down, that's the main wip im gonna pick up again!

20. Which work of yours have you reread the most?

if i'm being like. so real. it's PROBABLY my persona chatfic from eons ago bc i reread that thing a lot while i was writing it!! i like rereading my work but i dont think i've ever reread something as much as i did that one. my silly billy chatfic

hi catherine!!!! i went to the zoo today and we have one (1) polar bear; i had to take a picture so you could see!!

he sploot!!

Kat I’m SOBBING he’s so PRECIOUS !!!!!!! I hope that baby is getting the best care <3 I’m pretty sure the zoo near me has one polar bear still and ever since they updated the exhibit a few years back (did a revamp and made it temp-controlled like the penguin house) it’s been fun to see. Haven’t been in years now, but they’re just sooo lovely to watch (especially when they have the resources/environment to be doing alright)

WOW the sploot. The large lad. I want to pet I want to pet I want to pet I want to—

[caffernnn]

thanks for tagging me @celesteeal !!! 🫶🏻✨ (gotta jump on this before I forget oops)

favorite color: greeeeen 🫒🐊🌿 love me a good green. also partial to the other cool colors and browns, although deep oranges and ochre/honeyed yellows have been calling out to me lately!

last song: “all i know” by nightlife 🕺🏻

last movie: family wanted to watch the matrix trilogy recently, so I’d say the first matrix was my last movie iirc!! (It’s hard to actually sit and watch anything with my family, so I caught some of the second and third movies while they started them ~without me~)

currently reading: a few different things!! The library has a summer reading challenge going, so I’m trying to get back into the swing of things 😅 out of the library books I have checked out, the ones I’d say I’m actively reading through rn are “Beloved” by Toni Morrison and “Care Work” by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. I also have perpetual holds on “Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price and “In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love” by Joy James that loop back around to me every other month, so hopefully I get a few essays or chapters farther in those before my holds lapse again 🏃🏻‍♀️ OOH AND MANGA STUFF: I’m almost at the end of my library’s physical collection of Blue Exorcist (they stop at v13, so we’ll see how far we get into the Illuminati arc), and I check on new chapters of Sakamoto Days as translations become available.

currently watching: sibling bonding time is anime time, and we’ve been watching dunmeshi and demon slayer. Recently we finished bocchi the rock as well. Uhh, otherwise? I watched Tale of the Nine-Tailed and The Victim’s Game (first seasons) pretty recently. Idk, I’m inconsistent with keeping up with shows, even though my list of watch-laters keeps getting longer

currently craving: I keep seeing tteokbokki pop up (previously mentioned kdrama, random youtube shorts, “I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki” memoir) and I just want to tryyyyy iiiiit. So I’d say that or some good yakitori or something 😩

tea or coffee: I don’t drink either with any real regularity, so I’m kinda open to either at this point. Maybe tea? I got to try some cajun stuff this week (jambalaya and cornbread my beloved) and had sweet tea with that, if that counts for anything!

[caffernnn]

(thank you for the taaaag @reikunrei 💙)

💫✨ people I’d like to get to know better ✨💫

last song i listened to: and if I told y’all The Wiggles dropped a rave remix album? (before that was “Violent Bounce” by I See Stars)

favorite color: greeeeeen!!! Love a muted olive, love a moss green, love a hunter green, love a deep forest green or emerald tone right on the verge of becoming teal. Bright-ass roswell green and chartreuse (the neon brothers) are my problem children on thin ice, but still make me 🙄💕

currently watching: i’m a bit behind on Dungeon Meshi (you know how it is when you wait to watch shows with other people) BUT I’ve been skipping around on a rewatch of The Untamed and working through the newest Quinton Reviews video!

spicy/savory/sweet: usually savory, although I’ve been on a sweet kick lately

relationship status: y’all I’m just hanging out lmao

current obsession(s): hard to pin this one down tbh!! This month has been full of returning to poetry, and also watching videos of how others craft and create things (prop makers, watercolor artists, charcoal artists, art journalists, etc etc etc). I think it’d be fair to throw Dead Poets Society into the mix as far as media goes (beyond the usual cycles of shows/stories I talk about on here every other day lmaooo)

no pressure tags for @roses-and-nightingales @shenyaanigans @ahobbitincamelot @tonfea @sage-nebula @celesteeal @criticalgay and whoever else would like to share!!! 💚

got tagged by @onyxedskies to do a self-rec for my fics~ thank you for the tag!! (and here's his!)

See Me, See You

recent xanlow fic of mine i was really pleased with! a piece where laslow is badly wounded, and an argument ensues over how injuries like this are meant to be dealt with and avoided.

Simple Triple

my first published xanlow piece which im still really fond of, based on a meme that went around a while ago!! a short story about xander asking laslow to dance at a nohrian ball, then getting only a little carried away.

Citrus

one of my fave leokumi oneshots! im a sucker for meeting-at-a-wedding tropes, but they also make (and chase around) a little friend...!
