Hiiihiiii! So happy to see a new enstars writer in the scene! 🙌 if it’s okay, could I request Kanata with a gn reader thats (for lack of better words 💀) sexually shy and he’s sexually forward? If that makes sense lmao. Love your works! Can’t wait to see what else you have in store (๑>◡<๑)

desperate times

pairing — kanata shinkai x gn ! reader

sypnosis — you and kanata haven't seen each other in a while, so he, being the good boyfriend he is, wants to make up for it.

warnings — nsfw !! oral (kanata giving), a little rough kind of, cute aftercare at the end to make up for it though, kind of short swry..

authors note — i am so sorry this took me so long to get out !! my life has been pretty hectic lately, but im back and i hope you enjoy !!

word count — 569

The image in front of you would surely be engraved into your mind for the next couple weeks. 

Kanata, your usually kind and easy-going boyfriend, nearly bending you in half and eating you out. 

You’re sure that if you tried any harder, your knees would be touching your shoulders. I guess after being an idol yourself, you get pretty flexible after a while. 

You and Kanata haven't seen each other in a while. With your schedules clashing often, there weren't many opportunities to see each other, let alone do other things.

Kanata was mercilessly burying his tongue deep inside your hole, thrusting it in and out over and over again until you were practically seeing stars. A certain action of his had you rushing you cover your mouth to drown out your sounds. 

“K-kanataa..~” you whine out, dragging out his name at the end. This certain action draws a chuckle out of him, the vibrations making your legs shake even more. You use this as an opportunity to bury your hands into his light blue locks, the action earning a small moan from the man. He takes his mouth off of your heat to look up at you and smirks. You take this moment to fully sink into the situation and immediately get embarrassed. 

You move your hands out of his hair to cover your blushing face. Before they can even rest on your face though, he uses his own hand to grab both of your wrists in one hand. The gesture surprises you, seeing as you’ve never seen him act like this. You look into his green lust-driven eyes.

“Don’t cover your face. I wanna see all of you.” He whispers. You barely catch it, considering the distance between you too. Before you can utter a complaint, he dives back into your heat.

Though it may not look it, Kanata is a really strong guy, so when he has a good grip on both of your wrists, even if it’s only with one hand, you have no chance of overpowering him. His other arm is wrapped around your leg, keeping you in the position you were in originally. 

“You taste so good [name] .. we should do this more often.” Kanata says with a slight giggle at the end. The thought of doing this again adds to your arousal more than you thought it would. 

“K-kanata! Im- ngh- close!” You whimper out, thrusting your hips into his mouth. Kanata knew that his jaw was going to hurt afterwards, but he didn’t mind, especially not in the moment. 

“Let it out for me [name]”

You practically scream out, the vibrations from his spoken words threw you over the edge. Your legs shake and you cum all over his face, which you would normally be embarrassed about, but quite frankly, didn’t care about it in the moment. 

He slowly got up from in between your legs and lays down next to you. You were absolutely exhausted and he could tell too. You roll over and look at him with an evident blush on your face.

“Thank you Kanata.” You whisper out with a small yawn at the end.

Kanata silently giggles to himself, but before he can ask you what you’re thankful for, he sees your sleeping figure. He takes a mental picture of the sight and pulls the covers over you both before drifting off into dreamland alongside you.

Finding My True Strength

I wanted touch upon Shion's inner feelings during her training to become a swordswoman in Unsheathe the Inner Thunder for a while and recently found the motivation to write this following Noel Hayase's recent illness which she has since recovered from. So have some Shion angst with some KaeShi fluff at the end.

Warnings: Spoilers for Saber up to episode 26, angst, and self-doubt issues.

"That's not right."

Daishinji grabbed Shion's arm and adjusted her position again. "From one." He said.

Shion swallowed hard, feeling the pressure starting to build. She swung the wooden blade forward for what felt like the hundredth time that day. "One."

The swordsmith didn't say anything. She swung again. "Two." And again. "Three."

Daishinji-san hasn't stopped me yet. I must be doing better. I could do this… She thought to herself before she swung again. "Four."

"No." Daishinji knocked her blade with his own. "You didn't swing far enough. Start again from one."

Tears welded up in Shion's eyes and she blinked them away. She was exhausted, it felt like every movement she made was criticized. Daishinji had taken forever just forcing her to hold a good stance, reprimanding her every time she fidgeted or adjusted which even Naoto thought was a little harsh.

Now the goal was to get to ten basic strikes without a mistake. Shion got back into position and steeled herself.

She did four successful swings like before. Her hands shook, but Daishinji didn't say anything. Naoto noticed and gave Shion a soft smile of encouragement.

The room they were in was cold. There was a small window and Shion could see the snow blowing around outside.

"Don't shift your grip." Daishinji said as he grabbed her wrist. He adjusted her fingers until he was satisfied. "From the beginning."

Naoto could tell Shion wanted a break. She wasn't even moving around that much, but she felt physically drained.

"Don't you think you're being a little hard on her, Tetsuo?" She asked her chosen warrior. "Why don't we switch to another exercise?"

"I know, but this is what all new swordsmen go through." He sighed. "We'll move on as soon as she finishes this. Every lesson builds on the last. The next move is a variation on this. If she doesn't have the base down, she'll only get worse not better."

"I can still hear you two you know." Shion said through gritted teeth as she swung. She needed to focus. Don't let my grip slip. Keep my feet planted firm. Eyes forward. Look at the target.

She had gotten in six successful swings when the clock in the corner chimed loudly. She turned to look at it and Daishinji's sword bounced off her forehead lightly.

"Don't let yourself get distracted." He said.

"What time is it?" Shion asked as she squinted at the clock while rubbing her forehead. "How long have we've been training for?"

"It's eight. We've been training for an hour."

"Only an hour? It felt like it was longer that." Shion checked her watch, its hands on eight and twelve. "I'm starting to get why only one in hundred who can hear the swords make through training."

Daishinji decided to give her a break from the technical training by letting her read some important manuals that can help her with the training. It wasn't going to be fun, but it would be a nice break from repeating the same move over and over again.

Despite knowing that the books she had to read weren't going to be as engaging as the romantic stories she's read, Shion found herself stuck on the first chapter. The point was processing the information, but she'd lost her place on the page she was on. She scanned down the page again finding where she'd left off.

The farther she read, the more obvious it became that Daishinji had been quoting the book. But she quickly realized that she can't afford to skip over anything even as she flipped back to the previous page to figure out something about stance.

"How many chapters did you get through?"

She jumped as Daishinji appeared behind her without warning. She wished she could lie, but he was already leaning over to check for himself.

"I got to page ten." She said quietly. The first chapter was twenty pages. She knew because she'd checked several times as she slogged through the first couple pages.

"I'd hoped you'd have gotten farther." Daishinji sighed. "I don't see much purpose in moving forward if you haven't gotten to chapter two yet. There's a lot of important information there."

Shion looked down as tears built in her eyes again. I can't do anything right, can I? She thought to herself. I'd expected the training to be physically difficult, but I can't even get to the strenuous part. Maybe everyone was right, and I should give up…

"I'm heading home, I'll prove myself by tomorrow." She said, trying to keep her voice from shaking. "I have to go to work too."

"That's fine." Daishinji assured. "Juggling your regular obligations with training is important. Take the book and get through the first three chapters before tomorrow morning. Ryo will do his trials then."

She looked up at him. "So, you do want me to come back?"

"If you're willing to put in the work, you can continue." The swordsmith responded before turning and exiting the room.

Shion stood and reached for the heavy tome, but Naoto picked it up for her. "Don't worry, I'll help you carry this."

"Thanks, Naoto." Shion sighed in relief.

Later at her and Kaede's apartment that night, Shion focused on reading the book, clearing up the confusion she had earlier and carefully reading the first chapter. As she began reading the second chapter, she noticed Kaede turning on the music box that was on the nightstand by her bed. The soft music it played touched her heart.

"Do you think I can become a swordswoman?" She asked.

Kaede turned to look at her. "Of course I do. You have the potential, I know it."

Shion looked down at the floor, feeling her tears begin to fall. "But no one else seems to think I can. Even Daishinji-san has doubts since I couldn't live up to his expectations during training today."

She sobbed softly as her tears plopped onto her hands. Kaede looked at her with a sympathetic smile as she walked up to her and sat down next to her on the couch. She held her roommate's hand gently, brushing tears off of it as she did.

"I believe in you though, Shion-chan." She said with a soft tone. "As long as you keep a strong wish in your heart, you can do it."

Shion gazed into her soft brown eyes. "Even if I can't transform like you did?"

"Aw, don't say that… I'm sure you'll be able to one day." Kaede gently brushed her hand across her face, wiping away her tears. "Then we can fight together, wouldn't that be amazing?"

Shion nodded as she smiled. "Yeah, it would. You're right about all of this, Kae-chan. I shouldn't be doubting myself like this."

Her roommate simply returned the smile before the two of them embraced each other in a soft, warm hug. Outside the window of their apartment, a shooting star soared by. Shion watched it from her spot on the couch, her smile growing brighter.

"I wish I can always be by your side forever." She whispered.

Kaede hugged her tighter yet gently. "Me too. We'll make that wish come true together."

hey can I request 🏖️ with Kanata? ^^

Of course! I actually really love this idea!

Waves - Kanata Shinkai

AFAB!readerxKanataShinkai

Warnings: Sexual tension, beach sex, fluff, strong language, Cute sex moments, Slow and Sensual segsy time, I love Shinkai so much oml

Synopsis: It's your first time having a beach date with Shinkai and it quickly makes a spicy turn

"Puka Puka~☆" Kanata waited outside your dorm room door as you grabbed a few things before you two headed on a date. You suggested it, and he loved the idea so much that he wanted to go immediately. So here you are, getting ready to go to the beach.

You finally opened the door, wearing matching shorts and a top set that was Shinkai's favorite color and a bikini underneath. Shinkai had already been ready for the beach, so you both left. 

Once you arrived at the beach, you immediately ran onto the sand, "Let's go to the water after we get things settled!" You yelled.

Shinaki smiles and joins you onto the sand, "The sun is out today, so the water may be warmer than usual~☆"

You opened up your bag and put a towel onto the ground, then sat on it. Shinkai sat next to you while looking out into the tranquil water.

Then, after a few minutes of fumbling with your bag, you pulled out the sunscreen from it and started to rub it onto your arms and legs. Shinkai, still spacing out, doesn't notice and hums to himself quietly.

"You need some to Shinkai." You say holding out the sunscreen. 

Shinkai looks back at you and smiles with his usual grin. "That's okay Y/N, I don't need any. The water is already my sunscreen~☆"

You looked at him in shock, "How? That doesn't make any sense"

"Fufu~☆ I can show you when we're in the ocean~☆" he softly laughed.

You just let out a long, exhausted sigh and went back to putting on sunscreen, then your face suddenly lit up with an idea. "We should get some ice cream!"

Shinkai nodded, "Ice cream sounds nice~☆"

Both of you got up and hurried over to the ice cream stand nearby. You both then walked over to the cart together and placed your order. You had gotten a cone of your favorite flavored ice cream and Kanata had gotten a popsicle.

You both then walked down the coast, eating ice cream, as you excitedly discussed what you would build together. "After this, we can make sand castles together" you exclaimed.

Shinkai nodded happily, eating his popsicle, "When do we get to swim?~☆"

You turned to look at him, but before you could reply, your ice cream falls onto your shirt, "Oh shit." You say this while looking at the ice cream on your shirt.

Shinkai then looks at you with a reassuring look on his face "We can wash it off in the water~☆" 

You agree and you both walk back to wear your stuff‌. "Since we are getting in the water, I guess I should take this off." You say as you start to take off your outer layer of clothes.

Shinaki stared at you, blushing while you stripped to your bikini. His heart started to race as he stood there with a flustered look on his face. You quickly took notice and smiled, "I can't swim in shorts and a shirt you know"

"Would you like to try something with me?~" Shinkai's voice tone turned serious, and you started to gain curiosity. "What is it?" you asked.

Shinkai walked up to you and whispered close to your ear, "Do you want to have some fun?~☆" You looked back at him blushing, "Right here? but-"

Kanata softly giggled, then took your hand. "I know a place where we can go Y/N~☆" He then walked over to a different part of the beach before I could say anything else.

We stopped at an area that was surrounded by rocks. There was no one around and you two were completely alone.

"Y/N...are you ready?~" Shinkai asked. "Of course my love" You smiled back at him.

Shinkai's lips were soft and warm as he pulled you in for a kiss. His hands were gentle as they went up to the side of your face, cupping your cheeks. You melted into the kiss, pulling him closer.

He then pulled away and looked at you with a smile "Do you want to go for a swim?~" he asked. You nodded your head in agreement. He held your hand and you both ran in together.

You both went in, shoulders deep into the water. Shinkai smiled once more before pulling you into a kiss once more, only this time it was passionate.

Your lips intertwined with his as he deepened the kiss; the quiet waves surrounded the both of you.

He started to kiss down your neck and your breath began to become heavier. The tension built up so much to the point where you couldn't take it anymore. You just wanted him on top of you.

His hands traveled down to your waist, gripping it tightly and pulling you in closer, making you quietly gasp. Kanata took notice and he pulled away once more, "Can I take some more off?~" He asked in his usual tone of voice.

You nodded, and without hesitation, he pulled off your bikini top and threw it out of the water and into the sand. He lifted you up and you wrapped your legs around him as he made eye contact with you, pure love and admiration in his eyes.

"You're so beautiful Y/N~" He softly whispered. You smiled at him warmly, and without warning, he started to kiss your neck once more, before he kissed down to your chest.

"Kanata-" You moaned faintly. He smiled against your chest from hearing your noises.

After a few minutes, he pulled away and put you back down into the water, "We can go to the fun part now~" He smiled. I softly laughed back at him.

He then took off his swimming shorts and your bikini bottoms, then threw them onto the sand. He then picked you back up and slowly lowered you onto his cock.

"Hng-" He gently moaned, burying his face in your chest from embarrassment. He then looks up at you, a pink tint in his face, "I'm going to move now~"

He then holds onto your waist and starts to grind into you slowly. You cupped his face and pulled him into a heated and sensual kiss.

You moaned softly when he hit your sensitive spots, and every time you do Kanata makes note of where it makes you feel good the most.

His soft grunts and moans were all muffled against your lips and your skin. "Y...Ah~...N....You feel so good~" He whined.

His movements all started to get faster and sloppier as he felt himself getting closer to his release, making you know how much he needed you.

All you could hear was water sloshing, soft gasps, and the sounds of kissing. "You look so pretty like this~" Shinkai praised. You looked down at him, giving him a smile before you gave him a peck on the nose, making him blush. Although he was already balls deep into you, he still felt embarrassed by the little things that you would do.

Shinkai's grip on your waist began to become tighter when he suddenly picked up the pace, getting rougher with you. "Ah~...Kanata!...Yes!~" You whined out, throwing your head back.

"I-I" Shinkai stuttered then buried his face into your chest once more "I'm...ah~...I'm gonna!~" Before he could finish his sentence he bucked his hips into you, letting out a loud moan. "Ah~...Y/N I'm cumming~"

Once he finally came out of his high, he looked up at you with a slight blush on his face, "Do you want to go for round two?~" He said breathing heavily.

NOTES: Hi everyone! Sorry it's so short and not as detailed as I wanted it to be. I'm writing this at like 3 am so my brain is fried :(

[reisakumaproducer]

One common criticism of newer Enstars writing is its reliance on shock value, which is a valid criticism, and I often find people bringing up the Shinkai Cult as a rebuttal against these claims. Claiming that old Enstars writing was also equally as shocking, as there was a cult in that game. Enstars has always been a game with absurd and dark plot elements, but I think the Shinkai Cult is more than just shock value.

Yes it is shocking that an idol game has a cult, but the whole point of the Oddballs is they are supposed to feel like superb beings. Even before they were villainized, they were placed on pedestals as really talented idols. Having backstories that feel very out there adds to this. The Three Oddballs aren’t supposed to feel human. They are beings that provide to humanity. Wataru provided happiness through his tricks, Rei provided help to those who sought him in the graveyard, and Kanata provided wishes through his cult.

The Enstars war explores the dangers of putting these talented or special beings on a pedestal. It explores the relationship between the hardworking idols and the naturally talented ones. Leo finds out the people in Chess prefer his songs over him. Rei is treated like some all knowing figure, who Keito tries to use to reform Yumenosaki. We see the negative repercussions of these characters being placed on these pedestals.

This theme is also heavily explored in Meteor Impact through the dynamic between Chiaki and Kanata. Chiaki is a hardworking boy, who gets socially excluded from his former unitmates and has dreams of becoming a hero despite how childish they may seem. Meanwhile Kanata is a living god who can grant any wish. There are times where Chiaki puts himself down regards to Kanata too. Referring to himself as an “ordinary person” and from “different worlds” when he first meets Kanata

It creates this dynamic of a normal guy interacting with someone who doesn’t seem human, and Kanata being a living god in the Shinkai cult is what makes him feel nonhuman at first. Once again, we see the negative repercussions of Kanata being placed on a pedestal of a “special existence”. He doesn’t have much understanding of the outside world due to his cult. He is exposed as a fake and is bullied by the rest of Yumenosaki even though he is a victim of the Shinaki Cult putting him in this position. An important element of Kanata and Chiaki’s relationship in this story is that Chiaki is able to bring Kanata to humanity. He brings Kanata down from that pedestal by affirming to him that he is human, not a god.

So yeah, Kanata being a living god and seeming nonhuman at first IS the point. Yes it is a heavy topic in an idol game, not disputing that in the slightest, but it plays a role in the story beyond “shock value”. Despite the fact that Kanata is put into a position where he acts as a god, he is still human. To paraphrase Rei from Aquarium, the Three Oddballs are indeed human, but they have been removed from the fabric of humanity and yearn to connect with others. Wataru, Rei and Kanata have absurd backstories because they are removed from humanity due to being treated as special existences. Sometimes that special existence just takes the form of being a living god in a cult. Because it is the connections that the Three Oddballs make that turn them from god-like existences to human beings.

[kawaiilizzie]

My self-indulgent project Kamen Rider Lobera, a Kamen Rider AU based on Saber which follows the sweet and kind Kaede Shinaki, a college student and aspiring singer played by Yui Sakurai who inherits her deceased older sister's legacy as a swordswoman and transforms into the Swordswoman of Ice and Snow Kamen Rider Lobera to try to put an end to the war between the Sword of Logos and the Megid. Other original characters I created include Kaede’s closest friend Shion Akamatsu (Noel Hayase) who has feelings for her, Arch Seirei Artemis (Amane Tsukiashi) the princess of the Seirei (Magical angel-like beings associated with the Seiken), Yumeko (Suzuka Chinzei) a former huntress for Artemis whose strong desire to prove herself as the strongest leads her to transform into the Swordswoman of Dreams Kamen Rider Nimcha, Sound Seirei Naoto (Luna Nakagawa) the Seirei of the Onjuuken Suzune and partner to Daishinji who she holds a relationship deeper than most other Seirei (Who are mostly played by various Rider alumni), and Lennox (Mana Manaka) the beautiful princess of the Megid and their only female general who is also a Seirei turned evil by anger and remorse in the aftermath of an accidental murder of a rouge swordsman she and Tassel were trying to save and the mastermind behind the Megid’s whole plot and the manipulation of Isaac and Storious.

There’s more, but I don’t want to ramble too much, this just proves how self-indulgent this project is for me. Tagging @melting-morning-blues​, @stickers-on-a-laptop, @thehistorynut19​, and @meganechan05​. Feel like they deserve this kind of love.

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other creators to do the same 💕

Happy Birthday Shion!

I’ve been discussing birthdays for my characters with Tale of @tokuteasings​ and settled on today being Shion’s birthday. So, in honor of her, have some short and sweet fluff centering on her celebrating with Kaede and everyone else.

Warnings: None really aside from implied spoilers for Saber up to episode 35.

Mother’s Day didn’t seem like a big deal to Shion. Except for helping her friends at college pick out gifts for their own moms. She knew she would really feel the love when she becomes a mother herself, so she wasn’t really bothered by it.

However, the day to celebrate mothers also meant that her birthday, just three days after Mother’s Day, was around the corner. Shion considered herself lucky it was only one week after the birthday of her beloved princess Kaede on the ninth of May.

The last few days have been insane. She thought. I wonder if Kae-chan and the others had time to prepare for my birthday after what the Sword of Logos’ deluded leader tried to pull off if at all.

Luckily for her, any concerns she had disappeared when she entered the Northern Base and was greeted with party poppers going off around her, covering her in confetti and streamers.

“Happy birthday Shion!” Everyone shouted together, clapping their hands and cheering.

“Y-You guys remembered!” She laughed, removing confetti and streamers off herself.

“Of course we did, Shion-chan.” Kaede said with a smile, putting a silver tiara on her head. “We would never forget.”

“Here you go Shion! I had it made special just for you~” Mei said, holding out a delicious looking cake, a single candle glowing on top of it, and decorated with large pink roses made of icing and a chocolate plague reading Happy birthday Shion!

“Now, blow out your candle and make a wish!” Touma told her, holding out his phone along with Kaede to take a picture of the moment. Shion nodded, and blew out the candle, Homura and Naoto cheering and everyone else clapping when she did.

“Congratulations, Espada.” Sophia said with a gentle smile.

Shion returned the smile. “Thank you, Sophia.”

“Here, let me take this before something happens to it and we can’t eat any of it.” Tetsuo offered, taking the cake away with Naoto following him cheerfully.

Kaede walked up to Shion, holding out a bouquet of flowers consisting of red and pink roses, white lilies, and sunflowers. “Here, I picked out the flowers myself.”

“Thanks, Kae-chan.” Shion said, taking the bouquet from her. “The Shindais are on Rider duty to keep an eye on Master Logos, right?”

“Yeah. Should he make a move, they’ll let us know.” Kaede confirmed. “For now, your happiness is essential.”

Shion blushed pink at being acknowledged as important by her roommate. This felt a lot like the fairytales she loved as a child. She imagined Kaede looking at her lovingly, dressed in a beautiful white and pink dress fit for a princess, herself in a similar fairytale dress. She has been planning to confess her feelings for a while now, and she intends to tell Kaede soon.

“Kaede, everyone is waiting for you and the birthday girl.” Yukina called out, snapping Shion out of her thoughts.

“We’ll share the photos with Kento and Yamina later.” Raito added. “Hopefully seeing you guys happy will convince them that there is hope.”

“Alright, come on Shion-chan, time to cut your cake!” Kaede told her, holding out a hand to Shion.

Shion accepted her hand and held it tightly as the two went to join the others for a celebratory toast and food.

Hunza Valley – All You Need to Know Before Travel

In the Gilgit Baltistan region of Pakistan, there lays a mountainous vale known as Hunza Valley. In the northern part of Gilgit, it is present at the bank of the river passing by. The elevation of this vale is approximately 2,438 meters. When it comes to its geography, the area consists of three regions: Upper (Gojal), Central, and Lower (Shinaki) Hunza. In this article, I will cover all aspects of this vale and what you need to do if you plan a trip here.

History

The main religion of the area was formerly Buddhism. For more than 900 years, it remained an independent region. However, between 1889 and 1892, the British Empire gained control over this dale and Nagar. At that time, the Mir Safdar Ali Khan of the capital went to China Kashghar and pursued political asylum. From then, the ruling family of Ayesha (heavenly) formed on this place. John Biddulph in his book Tribes of the Hindoo Koosh write about it as; “The ruling family of Hunza is formerly called Ayesha (heavenly). The two states of Hunza and Nagar were formerly one, ruled by a branch of the Shahreis, the ruling family of Gilgit, whose seat of government was Nagar. First Muslim came to Hunza-Nagar Valley some 1000 years (At the time of Imam Islam Shah 30th Imam Ismaili Muslims). After the introduction of Islam to Gilgit, married a daughter of Trakhan of Gilgit, who bore him twin sons, named Moghlot and Girkis. From the former, the present ruling family of Nager’s descended. The twins are said to have shown hostility to one another from birth. Thereupon their father, unable to settle the question of succession, divided his state between them, giving Girkis the north/west, and to Moghlot the south/east bank of the river.”

BOLLYWOOD LIFE & TIMES (& PRACTICES) BEFORE 1975-77 !

(Repost from June 2022, from previous id, to further h/l how strict public broadcasting norms were till 1975, & how post-Emergency times cut PM's hands off & gave rise to the free-for-all (in every way) we know over past half decade)

Few incidents from film related history, contemplating on the 'art imitating life or the vice versa' tussle. 1952 & it's film 'Shin Shinaki Boobla Boo' is among the first few times, we know of, the independent Indian Govt exercised it's given powers to censor entertainment content in society. (Though we know of more than a handful such incidents during British Indian times, starting from 1920, but for non-moral anti-Govt reasons). For it being the first out-&-out 'revenge action drama', making the Govt reason how 'it glamorizes & endorses jungle-like inhumane non-Gandhian principles, that too at the hands of the protagonists'. And how 'it promotes negative tendencies in people, using the cinematic crutch of justification'. Another even finer & most famous example of such proposed Govt interference in mass art, being this song from 1957 released & Indie All-Time Top 5 'Pyaasa'! Where no less than India's premiere film voice then, Nargis, in semi-retirement & in the 2nd last year of her 15 yr long film career as leading lady, stood in Parliament, in her capacity as Rajya Sabha member, and demanded this Guru Dutt song to be outright banned! Reasoning how it seemed to be promoting prostitution in India, moreover manufacturing more discord & discontent in the nation in general, in the garb of bemoaning it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ta4BmumQKc&list=PLm1v8VeYLVlmERFjKGjgAcxJiwPLNfx54&index=2 Such high artistic & mass communication standards set by our predecessors, as compared to just 25 or so years later, when the same Govt, in continuing reign, by late 1970s, came to give a veritable open pass to anything & everything in the name of art. Perhaps, & we can only speculate, borne outta a post-emergency India, where the Central Govt, was so heavily scarred by the criticism to it's over-reaction in imposing Emergency rule in India, even if on account of frivolous & perhaps unbecoming Oppn tactics (in allegedly conniving to get it's leader Indira Gandhi banned from elections over a trifle matter)..that it veritably turned a blind eye to every entertainment related matter, the germ, leading to the infamous 'Bollywood mutation of the 1980s'..one that totally transformed a once thriving & highly hailed industry, to a cheap medieval-aged pittance in existence, in comparison. One can well take their own sides, as to the chronological art-leading to- life or life-leading to art debate, though whether mass mutation of a entire society, & 2nd largest ever society of world at that, is easier, or that of a set of few thousands in the field of drama, I leave open to the public to mull over.

Another most entertaining report, from columns of film writers of 1970s, all connected to the 'art imitating life or vice versa' debate: Further confirming the Indie theory that film censorship was well-enforced, to keep movie content as non-corrupting to the Indian masses, as grossly possible, till as late as 1975 atleast, ie till Emergency times (1975-77)! Didya know that 4 major changes/cuts were forced by the Film Censor Board, upon 'Sholay'(75), one of the biggest b.o. hits in the history of Hindi cinema, in Indies All Time Top 125 (& by eons the greatest gangster flick of Bollywood - a gangster flick, as hardcore fans of today esp might say, whose raw biting teeth were quietly removed by out-house docs before release) ?! 1. Film goers & film writers hailing from Calcutta testify to how, 'Sholay' in it's 1st week of release, showed Gabbar Singh as an ex-army man, who was convicted for the murder of his senior officer, & twas that conviction he ran outta jail from. (Army man turning civilian murderer, was ofcourse wrong, so swoosh swoosh) 2. The 2 protagonists, Jai & Veeru, whose biggest charm was how they turned their life from being recidivist crooks to saviors, were actually shown stealing the bike, that the famous "Ye dosti hum nahi todenge" was shot on, from a guy at a dhaba they had another needless altercation with! (Nope, not done. Cut) 3. The murder of Ahmad (played by Sachin Pilgaonkar) was infact shown quite graphically in the first cut, so graphic, that the entire scene was ordered to be deleted, to be replaced by the famous 'ant killing' scene. The joke that carried on thereafter was, that Censors replaced a monstrosity with outright devilry, by replacing a screen murder with an actual one-of the poor ant. *Rofl. Slap* 4. The climax of the film in 1st cut had Thakur (Sanjeev Kumar) incidentally murdering Gabbar in course of their final brawl. But Emergency times couldn't have had a police-officer, even a retd one, taking law into his own hands, so replaced with the proper done thing. Bravo, to everyone. That's how All-Time Blockbusters were & are/ought be made!

akiyama/shinada is adorable but imagining them trying to live together as a couple is so funny. not that I think they'd argue a lot in a domestic setting or whatever, but they would simply not function. they nap on the sofa together from 11am till 8pm. shinada mentions the laundry is piling up and akiyama tosses a roll of bank notes at him to just go buy new clothes. their entire house smells like axe and socks. they love each other so much. nobody is doing the dishes

[morninggloryworm]

Shinada should use his very kissable lips for their intended purpose more often

Close the door

I don't wanna let the cold in

Cause the night is getting older and I'm tired

Hold me close

And I won't let another soul in

Cause you are everything and all I need tonight

You have my heart

Yours for the keeping

You are the first thing I believed in

And now I'm yours and you are mine tonight

Lead the way

Cause I don't want to walk without you

You're my anchor and my lighthouse in the storm

Hold my hand

Cause I don't want to be without you

You're a the rose amongst a bitter world of thorns

You have my heart

Yours for the keeping

You are the first thing I believed in

And now I'm yours and you are mine tonight

My heart is yours

It's clean and healing

You've closed the wounds and stopped the bleeding

I'll give you all I am, give you my life

You have my heart

Yours for the keeping

You are the first thing I believed in

And now I'm yours and you are mine tonight

My heart is yours

It's clean and healing

You've closed the wounds and stopped the bleeding

I'll give you all I am, give you my life
