hello, i am happy that you're back and feeling better! ^^
er, i am a bit disappointed but since time had passed, i have realised it was the right move. that is sad but if both parties naturally drift apart, there is always a chance for it to rekindle later on even if it is years on in the future. but moving on does tend to be the less messer route despite it being hard.
i did that too for HSR, all players are probably guilty of that lol. i believe most fans prefer GI over HSR and there is a lot more GI contents on here. i've never played HI so i don't know the fight mechanics š
that sound like such a long system ;-; on my end, you could complete a five year degree (like medicine) and be finish before 24/25 or do a three years degree and a master on top before 23/24. at least you still have time to figure things out.
that is true and a part of koko probably died after the fire incident, he probably just needed mikey's approval to join though.
tbh, i just realised his colour palette (outfit/appearance) is really nice too and does contrast xiao's one. maybe, browse online for inspiration? or go to the hair salon and ask the staff? i did that for dying my hair, they said i need to bleach it 4 times where i went lmao.
but i've heard the anime/manga merchandise is pretty cheap in Japan? that is a nice start to your collection and i'm sure the tokrev dolls will be a nice finishing touch when you feel motivated enough. but don't force yourself. i think if she was a kpop fan, i would found it less shocking because they are something else lol. that is a sensible idea and others may mistake it for a bell's bike? if it jingles that loudly and you're walking behind them. i hope you are ready then, styling wigs does seem to be a craft of art in making.
have you found your birthday twin yet? or am i still the closest one? and i actually gave up on makima. the fanart is something else but you can't help but feel intrigued like you said. i dislike her for the same reason. that's great! have you tried taking it to a tailor and get the sleeves shortened? i did it for a blazer and it worked.
ah iām glad, me too! :) <3
i very much understand. it hurts, but sometimes the right thing to do just isnāt what initially makes you the happiest,, and itās still for the best.
hm, true. maybe one day lol. rn we see each other maybe twice a year, and go visit a museum together. itās nice, but certainly not how i pictured my life a few years ago haha. tho iām content with our relationship the way it is, i think.
understandable understandable lol. i think my pref for genshin does stem from me having played it for longest by far + it being the game that got me into gaming, which both ends in an obvious bias. but hsr has been v fun so far as well! honkai impact fight mechanics are more similar to genshin than to hsr, but the controls for the whole game donāt involve the mouse, only the a, s, d, w, i, j, k, and l keys (if i remember the keys correctly- the point is you only need a keyboard to play) lol. makes it easier to play it in class.....
okay tbh i did repeat/got pushed back more than once š most people here probably are finished with a five years degree at 24/25 too, but a bunch each year will be one/two years older bc they had to repeat. and iām gonna be one of those lol. but yeah, iām glad iāve still got time to decide on what to study bc thereās too many things iād like to do... omg i used to have a classmate whoās a kpop fan, and she pretty much made her locker at school into a kpop shrine plastered with photos and filled with merch lol. she also was the one to introduce me to kpop funnily enough.
true. iāll figure out how to make it make no sound before wearing it in public, then iāll be fine. bc i do think the earring looks funky even when silent hehe.
i have a (bad?) habit of thinking i can do anything i want to, so... wig styling canāt be that hard, now can it..... and thereās a first time to everything anyway.
no birthday twin for me, youāre still the closest. if i ever do find one, iāll make sure to tell you dw lol.
no, i havenāt been to a tailor yet, but i might try that once! i just hope it wouldnāt be too expensive afhjfdj

i had a dream with a decent amount of vaderdala/anidala content in it but most importantly it had me discovering amidala uses the same red pigment for her lips and nails, the pigment/mineral that makes vader's lightsaber red, that one. (such a long statement idk how to phrase it you get the idea)
and also it was all over his mask
So in padmƩ's empire instead of mining the kyber crystals for the death star, they're mining them just for PadmƩ's makeup? I would let her tbh, she looks good.
Considering that for makeup and lipstick sumerians pulverized gemstones it could happen. Except that the red kyber crystals are red specifically bc some dark-side stuff and they aren't found naturally red. Which means Vader gave her his own kyber crystal from his lightsaber...he would, he has zero self-respect.
[tip jar!]
More of this AU> first || prev || next
open for a funny bonus! ;))) (sliiiiiiiightly suggestive tho)

I like the idea that the Matrix was said to contain "The wisdom of the Primes" and while it kind of DOES, what he actually got was the ability to commune with the Primes, and while everyone expects them to be a well of wisdom they're kind of just normal people and tell Optimus that Megatron's a glitch.
He's basically just got 13 older annoying siblings.
some times collective wisdom means knowing how to build and lead an entire army while restructuring your entire society after decades of oppression.
others it means knowing that mixing the cybertronian equivalent of vodka and tequila is a Stupid Idea and you will definitely regret it oh my god-
and being the youngest of fourteen sometimes means knowing that and doing it anyway lmao
but yeah that's basically it! that's kinda the point of the au! yeah they were wise and intelligent and almost divine but they were still people! and the concept of wisdom can be very subjective when there's thirteen of you and you have thousands if not millions of years of Opinions⢠aklsjdlalds

Serious question.
Do you think weāll see the parents/family of each of the guys???
Like, Weāve been TEASED with Aceās brother, that Iām starting to think itās just a reference to that Alice in Wonderland park character in Japan and nothing elseā¦.
Jackās family, Ruggieās grandma, Falena, Maleficia, Ms.Rosehearts, Just now Vilās dad is in the picture which I am really happy but now Iām wondering about his mom, and so Deuceās mom.
I mean, some HAVE a silhouette!! It could mean they do have a design in the making/ready to show. They couldāve shown us Falena in the Tamashina (hope I said that correctly) event, but didnāt (prolly to make Leona not so Ļ(ā¼ā”ā¼ć”) and itās understandable)
Anyhow, any idea/headcannon about this? Who do you want to see first?
I'm wondering if everyone might eventually get a travel event? like they've now introduced with Vil's that it doesn't have to be specifically hometowns, so that opens things up a lot! (especially if they have to figure out how to do three separate Coral Sea visits) (how would that even work otherwise)
but yeah, I hope everyone gets a chance! there's a lot of backstory characters I would LOVE to meet. :D :D :D though I do think some of them don't really suit the more light-hearted tone of the events (pretty sure you're right about that being why Falena wasn't in Tamashina-Mina, that would've just been. too much for Leona.) so like...we're probably not ever going to meet the Rosehearts. or Maleficia (although I maintain that this would be THE funniest possible way to introduce her outside of the main story, and actually I would love this a lot, can we please Twst) (I need to see her to put Malleus in a froofy little outfit and tell him what a handsome boy he is). but they've sprung surprises like Kifaji on us, and honestly anyone who shows up and tells embarrassing stories about characters' childhoods is good in my book!
characters off the top of my head who I most want to meet: literally any of the Zigvolts, Azul's mom, Ace's brother, Che'nya's grandfather (<- I think he would be a good one for Riddle) (please just any non-terrible adult in his life), any member of Rook's family because I need to see how they managed to produce him, and...really just whoever they can come up with for Silver.
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#tapis rouge#tamashina mina#i think it's just those two#(i am very very sorry about how long it took to reply to this)#but yeah i don't know if everyone is actually doable! i just want to ~believe~#though silver would also have one of the zigvolts honestly#(they are the only reason lilia managed to actually raise him without silver like. falling through a manhole looney tunes style.)#so let's say he gets sebek's mom and sebek gets his dad. just because it would make sebek VERY annoyed.#god i want to meet azul's mom though. everything we know about her makes her sound AMAZING#i want her to feed me lunch and teach me how to take no shit#ANYWAY i do also wonder about vil's mom...#i had been thinking we might learn something about her during tapis rouge. but nope! not a mention.#i guess we did establish that vil either went with eric or was cared for by the house staff when he was traveling#so i dunno! it doesn't necessarily mean anything she might just be a busy lady doing busy things#i just wonder!

I agree with you about the ridiculous book titles but I don't think the ones you mention are so great. Like what's so good about themš
hiii šš» I apologize for this long answer. This is so serious for me lol I could talk about it for hours.
I think Giovanni's Room is a perfect title. As I said, it's short and evocative, and I think it's also mysterious but not that mysterious. You don't know what's up with the room in question but you can gather, for example, that this guy Giovanni is Italian, otherwise the name would be John or something, so for sure his Italian identity will be relevant. You have to assume thereās intention behind something as significant as a main characterās name. Also, and more importantly, there's no last name attached to Giovanni so it suggests intimacyābeing on a first name basis. It lets you know that whoever tells the story is close to Giovanni; for sure close enough to have been inside his room. Name and last name creates a sense of distance and formality, or it suggests the person is 'important' or special; preternatural like Dorian Gray, famous like that woman Evelyn Hugo (probably, I haven't read it). But just āØGiovanni⨠... you can tell it's going to be a first person account of the events by someone who knows Giovanni very intimately. But obviously Iāve already read it and my interpretation is biased. Nothing about the title guarantees it'll be a first person account. This is just what I mean by evocative; it makes me theorize and read into it...
Now, just Giovanni, like Emma or Carrie or Rebecca, wouldn't work becauseāand this you find out once you read the novel but the title is already telling youāthe room is the main character; it's the metaphor. But I wanted to mention those single name titles just to say I don't like them lol. I get them but I think they don't really work nowadays. A recent example I can think of is Eileen. Crickets, right? Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh. It's a good novel though.
And I also don't like "[Name] [Last Name]" titles very much:Ā - Anna KareninaĀ - Jane EyreĀ - David CopperfieldĀ - Oliver TwistĀ
As I said, full names give a sense of distance (imo!), BUT those I mentioned make sense because the novels span the lifetime of the character. Of course the title of a person's life should be their name, and at least it's not something like The Unbelievable Life of David Copperfield, which would be so silly. I think full name titles had their time too. Just Evelyn Hugo would be crickets but it doesn't mean its original title is any better lolĀ
Giovanni's Room is perfect because I think "[Name]ās [Noun]" is a good title formula: - Charlotteās Web - Enderās Game - Sophieās Choice
Adding an adjective to any of these would truly fuck them up. Imagine if it was Giovanni's Mysterious Room⦠flop! It was already mysterious. Or Giovanni's Peculiar Room, also a flop and an awful sounding adjective.Ā
You have to be very particular about the adjective to make "[Name]ās [Adjective] [Noun]" work.
Howl's Moving Castle is a perfect example of a good one because it could have been something like Howl's Magical Castle, right? But that sounds basic. The chosen adjective, Moving, couldn't be more perfect.
The other title I mentioned in my post is The Bell Jar. Just picture a bell jar; something so delicate that can trap or protect or display or contain. You can already tell the metaphor game is going to be strong.Ā Also, its formula is my favorite ever: "The [Noun]": - The Trial - The Metamorphosis - The Waves - The TunnelĀ - The Goldfinch
This formula is serious business for me. I think it's perfect. Short and so sure of itself. They demand to be taken seriously. I see them and I feel reassured that the author is confident and clear about their work.Ā
"The [Adjective] [Noun]" is good too but it really has to need that adjective:Ā - The Virgin SuicidesĀ - The Savage Detectives
I love "[Adjective] [Noun]" ā Short yet compelling. Just two words so you can have them tattooed on the back of you ankles or something: - White TeethĀ - Wuthering Heights - Sharp Objects - Invisible Monsters (Chuck Palahnuikās titles are always a hit with me. Short and straightforward; they come across as very cool and crude, Fight Club, Choke, Snuff, and then he delivers cool and crude. The 3 titles below are by authors with a similar vibe to Palahnuik, and look at those titles⦠chef's kiss) - Exquisite CorpseĀ - American Psycho - Mysterious Skin
I also love "[Noun] and [Noun]" ā To contrast, to compare, to complement each other, whatever it is it's always a hit. The alliteration in both Jane Austen's titles is more poetic than whatever long wordy title you can think of: - Pride and PrejudiceĀ - Sense and Sensibility - War and PeaceĀ - Sons and Lovers - Crime and PunishmentĀ
ā Now, the ones I consider flops no matter what. The long ācreativeā ones that come across as eager and insecure and make me roll my eyes.
Anything that tries to sound like The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Also these wretched formulas:
"The [Adjective] [Noun] of [Fuckass Name + Last Name]": - The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - The First Fifteen Lives of Harry AugustĀ - The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender (Two adjectives! Get out of here!)
"A [Noun] of [Noun] and [Noun]": - A Song of Ice and Fire - A Court of Thorns and Roses - A Book of Spirits and Thieves
"The [Personās Job/Occupation] [Relative]" ā The relative is usually a wife or a daughter: - The Surgeon's Daughter - The Time Traveler's WifeĀ - The Zookeeper's Wife - The Shopkeeper's Daughter
"All The + [Some Bullshit]": - All the Bright PlacesĀ - All the Light We Cannot See - All the Dangerous Things - All the Colors of the Dark
"Where the + [Some Bullshit]": - Where the Crawdads Sing - Where the Red Fern Grows - Where the Dead Sit Talking
"This Is How + [Some Bullshit]": - This Is How You Lose the Time War - This Is How It Always Is - This is How You Lose Her
"We Are All + [Some Bullshit]": - We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves - We Are All the Same in the Dark - We Are All Birds of Uganda - We Are All Made of Molecules
I also don't vibe with titles that instruct you to do something: - Go Tell the Bees That I Am GoneĀ - Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead (good novel though!) - Raise High the Roof Beam, Carpenters - Go Tell It on the Mountain (adding one by the author of my beloved Giovanni's Room so you know I'm serious about this lol)
š To finish my rant on a more positive note, there are always exceptions, and I do like some poetic titles: - Tender Is the Night
One of my favorites and I haven't read it, I just like how it sounds. That would be "[Adjective] is the [Noun]". I don't know if there are more like this. I like that it's taken from a poem but it's not too wordy.Ā
And the following are all by John Steinbeck. His title game was insane! And they are all references, which shows it can be done with grace and measure: - East of Eden ā biblical reference - The Grapes of Wrath ā lyrics from hymn which references a bible passage - In Dubious Battle ā from Paradise Lost - Of Mice and Men ā this one could go in the [Noun] and [Noun] category but the preposition adds a little something imo, and it's also taken from a poem by Robert Burns.
Anyway, I hope this wasn't a bore! š

Hi! What are some of your favorite things about bison?? Your pinned post says ask at your own risk and I'm very happily doing so
oughhh ok!! firstly, i think they just look really cool. i mean, look at them....
secondly (and for this i am referring solely to american bison, i don't know very much about the history of european bison) they are very historically and culturally significant. the native americans who lived on the great plains relied a lot on the bison for food, but also to make clothes, tipis, weapons, and bison were also a part of their religion. in the 19th century white settlers killed most of the plains bison. this was sponsored by the us government as a method of cultural genocide, by removing the lifeline of the native americans in the area and forcing them onto reservations
in the 20th and 21st centuries, bison have been reintroduced to national parks and indigenous land across america and their population has increased, although there will never be as many as there were before because there's just, you know, not enough room for them.
look at him.... very important creature
#sorry it took me so long to reply#i might add more later so keep tuned. if i think of anything else to add i can @ you#dee rambles#asks#creature of all time

Hey, in your Age Swap Au, who is in the throne right now? Abigail? I imagine she would do the same thing with Wendy, that Charlie does with Maxwell in Encore. And this would totally break Wendy's heart.
Abby is in the throne
Do I have more explanation? ...no But IF Wendy is Maxwell, Abby HAS to be Charlie (and William and Jack's mother (so weird)). Makes sense... Right????????
Anyway, I might change her design (at least use the dark hair) but for now this is the Queen
#dst abigail#dst webber#dst swap au#don't starve together#don't starve#dst adult webber#the less you think of this Au. the less weird it gets#chafi replies#I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply but I always say that so doesn't really mean anything anymore Sorry

āIf you ever need me, call my name. I will be there.ā
That was Xiaoās promise. You werenāt the only person heād offered it to, far from the first or last, but you were the only one who had it whispered against their lips, in between stolen kisses that lingered on your skin long after heād vanished into the moonlight.
āAlways. For whatever reason.ā
You hadnāt had much need for it prior, beyond the occasional sticky situation or sudden bout of loneliness, but the reassurance was always there. One word was all it took, and he would be at your side. Always with a spear in his hands, and a serious expression, scanning you up and down to check for injuries. Only when he was satisfied you were in one piece, unharmed, heād speak.
āWhat do you need?ā He asks, putting down his weapon once he realized there was nothing to vanquish. With his free hand, he grasps your chin, turning your face to the left, then to the right. āYou arenāt hurt. There arenāt any demons around, yet you called me anyway. Why?ā
āIsnāt it obvious?ā You blink, nudging something with your foot. He looks down, frowning at the sight of⦠a picnic blanket. There were pastries, and fresh fruit, and a box of almond tofu laid out across the ground. When he looks up again, youāre grinning. āI thought you could use a break.ā
āA⦠break?ā He says slowly, tasting the words like they were unfamiliar. You roll your eyes, giving his hand a gentle tug and pulling him down to a sitting position.
āYes, a break. Youāve been working non-stop. This is long overdue.ā
Xiao continues to stare at the lavish spread of food, not saying a word. The picnic is carefully arranged, each item selected to match his tastes perfectly. Even the locationāa quiet, shady spot underneath the shelter of a treeāwas thoughtfully chosen; not too far from Liyue Harbour, but far enough that there was no one around to disturb them. Youād thought through everything, that was obvious enough.
āYouā¦ā He swallows, the words caught up in his throat. Thereās a dull ache in his chest, but somehow, the feeling isnāt unpleasant. āThank you. Truly.ā
You smile at him, offering him the box of tofu. āNo problem. Eat up.ā
The pair of you eat in silence, interspersed with the occasional observation about the weather, or your day, or what Xiao has been doing during his absence. Itās quiet, itās mellow; nothing like what he was faced with before you called on him. He spares you the details, keeping it to a simple āI was purging evil, as usual.ā He knows to omit the most brutal parts of his life, keeping them held close to his chest, so as to not worry you even more than you do.
āYou look tired.ā You hum. āDo you want to take a nap?ā
Your suggestion is met with protest of course, but he never could resist your whims for long. Somehow, despite his objections, he finds himself with his head laid in your lap anyway, the tree branches above casting shade over his face, and you smiling down at him.
Xiao canāt even bring himself to feel displeased with the situation. Your hands in his hair is heavenly, a soft, comforting feeling that has his eyes sliding shut, and all of the tension in his shoulders melting away. He doesnāt know how you manage it, unravelling him with the slightest touch, but he voices no complaints. Any reservations or doubts are swept away as your nails gently rake across his scalp, brushing his hair out of his eyes.
āSleep,ā You murmur, kissing his forehead. Itās an odd reversal of your positions; typically, he is the one standing guard as you slumber, but he strangely doesnāt mind as much as he typically would. Perhaps it is because it is you that is caring for him, treating him so tenderly like heās something worth cherishing. You, who remains the only one he will let see his guard fall completely, the one who has seen his shadows, and his regrets, and loved him through all.
When he wakes, he will return to his role as guardian, but as he sleeps, he is content to have you watching over him.

I always love your posts about THK and your recently pinned post and another one about Style yearning for skinship are just *chef's kiss*. So thank you for your analysis!
I saw some comments on tumblr that Style was acting as if he's sad and playing Fadel and I just could NOT agree, so I was glad to see your post. My opinion on Style's crying scene is I don't think Style meant to cry at first, but his emotions sort of overwhelmed him while he was talking. I think he definitely uses his cheerful disassocation with reality to deal with fear and he was just going to tell his message to his dad just in case, perhaps in a more lighthearted way, but he remembered about his mom and the reality of potential death hit him fully because his mother's death must be the closest death he'd experienced in his life. And when Fadel asked him if he was crying he just said Duh and wasn't fully crying, but after Fadel told him to stop the sob story, he turned back and the tears really started flowing. When I saw that I could really relate to him because that's how I usually act too- act nonchalant to hide my real feelings. Style wasn't planning to get emotional and then got mocked for it - and he was also denied his s*xual advances/skinship earlier too- that must've felt really hurtful to him.
As much as the scene hurts, I'm glad to see this was not cut because even cheerful, positive people like Style really gets down sometimes and people don't really understand this, even in real life! I was kind of like this when younger and had some people tell me they can't imagine me feeling sad or nervous. So seeing Style's rare serious and emotional side in the story is really made me kind of acknowledged? When I started watching this show, I didn't think I would get this attached to this character. He's like a ray of sunshine, very pure in his beliefs and quite fiercely loyal too (might be weird to say when he was complicit but he is actually loyal to both Kant and Fadel to the best of his ablities IMO) and the actor/Dunk is absolutely killing this role! Not just the crying scene in this episode, but Dunk's comedic timing in delivering the one liners is SO GOOD he manages to make me laugh every single episode so far.
Lovely anon, oh thank you for sharing so vulnerably about how you related to Style in that scene. I really agree with you that Style wasn't putting on an act to fool Fadel. I'm very surprised to hear that anyone still thinks Style is playing Fadel at this point?? O_O I don't think anything he does this episode is an act anymore -- even when he propositions Fadel with a shirt tossed into his face, there's clear and genuine intent behind it:
There's so much going on in this look. The gentle fondness as he gazes back at Fadel, the way the look seeks to communicate affection even as Fadel is glaring back in anger and frustration. But there's acceptance too, like he understands why Fadel is keeping his walls up, he understands why Fadel feels he deserves some of this harshness and he will let Fadel take the time he needs to come to whatever conclusions he wants to as long as Fadel does so with the understanding that Style's love for him is genuine.
Because at the end of the day the only thing Style really doesn't want is for Fadel to make his choice (to forgive or to cut Style off) thinking that Style's feelings are still a lie. I think that's the crux of the problem between them now: Fadel is pushing Style away because he is certain Styleās feelings arenāt true, and have never been true, but Style knows his own heart and understands the fundamental shift inside him that occurred over the course of their relationship.
Which is why I think Style is genuine in everything heās showing Fadel now. Even if he didnāt mean to cry, I think his worry for his dad is very real. And I think the reason why he brings it up with Fadel is that Style is done hiding anything from him now. Itās not about manipulation, nor is it an attempt to make Fadel feel guilty. But he's taking everything Fadel is giving to him incredibly seriously and part of that is facing the possibility that Fadel may decide to kill him at the end after all. And that's... scary; hell its terrifying and heartbreaking and Style has understandable guilt related to how losing him after losing his mother is going to affect his dad.
And actually what you're saying about "cheerful and positive people like Style" also sometimes feeling down is such an important aspect of understanding Style's character. Because we can only really understand the weight of Styleās love for Fadel if we see him in all his multifaceted complexity: Style has suffered, Style understands the pain of loss but has learned to find joy in his life in the process of dealing with his motherās passing. Styles cheerfulness and positively is not a sign of his immaturity or lack of complexity but rather evidence of a inner strength and determination to find meaning in life beyond the sadness. After my dad passed, it took me nearly 4 years to even get to a point where I began to want to want to find pockets of happiness. There was so much about me at the time time bound up in my feelings of loss and sadness and the ache of missing my dad, the unfairness of it all. Style is-- Style is so very precious to me.
And something I found really poignant is how Fadel and Style have such opposing methods of dealing with grief and fear. Fadel hides from it, runs from it, builds up walls and remains ever vigilante so he'll never be vulnerable again, while Style faces his grief and his fear head on. Style takes his fear out and holds it in the palm of his hand and in the process - like you said - maybe found himself more overwhelmed then he expected, but he allows himself the space to cry because he also sees that its important in the moment. And he invites Fadel into that vulnerability with him. That's insane to me -- Style's love for Fadel means that even when Fadel has a gun to his head and is the source of his fear, Fadel is always orientated on the INSIDE to Style.
To extend the allegory, the difference between them is that Fadel's love made him invite Style inside his walls as an outsider, but Style's love makes Fadel already part of him. Fadel doesn't need an invitation because at no point in episode 8 did Style ever treat Fadel as anything but an extension of his own heart.
So yeah, I'm so with you about being grateful for the scene. I think it maybe could have been shot differently (for instance, I kind of wish they'd just let Dunk do his thing and sell the moment without having that background music 180 degree shift), but I adore it for what it shows us about Style and the way he thinks and feels, and most of all the way Fadel is oriented in his heart.

if thereās inspiration or anything, is it possible to have a LH āIn another life, I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you." Art š
Hi anon! Iām sorry I didnāt know if this meant showing them desiring that life w/ each other, or if you wanted to see them actually living it but! since itās Hangeās birthday I went with the latter bc they deserve it and breakfast in bed is a far better present than the one Isayama gave to them :')
