#some people not liking their sweet tea that sweet doesn't justify it

[themoodyestj]

your problem is that you are a fan of some dude you made up on your mind, and whenever the real Jensen steps out of your mold, you flip out.

you just don't like him, you don't like that he's a laid back dude who stays away from pointless conflicts, but runs right into a burning building if somebody needs help. you don't like that he's a sweet guy who is a fan of his wife and who relies on her for a lot of things, who treats her with respect and gives her credit for all the work she does as a family caretaker.

you don't like that he's a weirdo who loves the characters that he plays as if they were real. you don't like that he loves to dress up and have fun with his wife, or that he doesn't mind being affectionate with his male friends, because he's not afraid of being vulnerable and he's not so fucking insecure on his own sexuality that a fictional gay ship would make him uncomfortable.

If there is something that I really enjoy, is when delulus forgo all sense of safety and decorum and come to my inbox to tell me about my problems. Because then, I feel completely justified on being as shitty as I possibly can to tell them about their problems. So here's the tea.

Your problem, Anon, is that I live rentfree on your head. Your problem is that the things I write in my blog are based on things Jensen said himself, and you can't rebute them, except for the pathetic clutching of ears while you sing lalalalalalala. And because you cant rebute them, it stings. And you feel justified to come here and tell me about my problems. Big mistake. Big, huge mistake. Your problem is that your idols are rotten. You stan a vapid queen who never did much for herself, not even sit and look pretty when she was supposed to shut up. Her biggest accomplishments were to associate with someone who did bigger accomplishments. And all the things she does herself are surrounded by controversy and bad juju and never ever ever work. You stand a man who is the human equivalent of a weasel, coming into coops and basking on other one's eggs, because he has very little to show for. Your idols are a has-been and a never-was. And yes, Jensen. But since you love to associate him with those people, I would say you dont love him very much. Your problem is that, no matter how much projection you try to use here, Im not the one who flips... its you. I simply write my opinion, in a blog you are welcome to block. But no, I represent such an discomfort to you that ignoring me isnt enough, you need and try to control me, bully me, like you do with your fave. You are the one who needs to see him in a certain light and will harass anyone, including himself, to get your way. But your biggest problem, Anon, is that in the midst of all celebrity drama and other problems you have (who could probably use medical attention), you forgot that you do have a life outside of Tumblr, and that you should live it. And apparently, you also forgot the importance of values and a spine. I wish you an awesome weekend. Glad I made you squirm.

This episode. Hoooooooeeeeeeeeeey.

The service was very simple and very solemn. There were only ourselves and the servants there, one or two old friends of his from Exeter, his London agent, and a gentleman representing Sir John Paxton, the President of the Incorporated Law Society. 

Much like Lucy's funeral in a way, but not sparse for lack of inviting but a lack of people to invite. After all, Hawkins had no family left to him to leave anything to.

Jonathan was holding me by the arm, the way he used to in old days before I went to school. I felt it very improper, for you can't go on for some years teaching etiquette and decorum to other girls without the pedantry of it biting into yourself a bit; but it was Jonathan, and he was my husband, and we didn't know anybody who saw us—and we didn't care if they did—so on we walked.

Mina sounds a bit flustered at the faux pas they're engaging in but still overjoyed at the knowledge that Jonathan is her husband! However, she still needs to justify it: "well, no one will gossip because no one here knows us, so it is fine". Come now, dear, it's fine because it doesn't matter. But oh well, she's getting used to it.

Mina: *detailing Dracula's appearance* "You see, he did not pass the vibe check. His vibes were absolutely rancid."

She really describes Dracula as though she were describing an animal. It's kind of unsettling.

"I believe it is the Count, but he has grown young. My God, if this be so! Oh, my God! my God! If I only knew! if I only knew!"

Youuuu bastards, having Jonathan repeat the lines as Mina continues narrating aghgh.

"Why, Mina, have I been asleep! Oh, do forgive me for being so rude. Come, and we'll have a cup of tea somewhere." 

He's so cute!!! AAAA he is SO CUTE!!! My precious baby, I just want to hold him in my hands. He's so soft and cute and sounds so sweet and unsure, so bashful.

And then Mina begins the next section sounding like she has been crying. She mentions Arthur immediately, which is worth noting because she parallels him. She's lost a father figure and though she hasn't lost a lover, her lover is struggling to keep himself together while Arthur's lost the fight for her life already.

and then Jack comes in egregiously horny, and I just. What do you even have to say for yourself, sir? I think perhaps the way that he describes Quincey hints that he may not know Quincey as intimately as he knows Arthur? Nor as intimately as Arthur knows Quincey. Of course, part of this is just Bram fawning over American men because of his giant man crush on Walt Whitman. Jack's hero worship gives the impression that he's not close enough with Quincey to know his human flaws, at least. He sees him as a moral viking!!

Arthur was saying that he felt since then as if they two had been really married and that she was his wife in the sight of God. None of us said a word of the other operations, and none of us ever shall. 

Jack, are you really so stupid as to think that he doesn't know? Skipping ahead--

"Just so. Said he not that the transfusion of his blood to her veins had made her truly his bride?" "Yes, and it was a sweet and comforting idea for him." "Quite so. But there was a difficulty, friend John. If so that, then what about the others? Ho, ho! Then this so sweet maid is a polyandrist, and me, with my poor wife dead to me, but alive by Church's law, though no wits, all gone—even I, who am faithful husband to this now-no-wife, am bigamist." "I don't see where the joke comes in there either!" I said; and I did not feel particularly pleased with him for saying such things. 

Everyone raved over these lines before ("he confirmed the polycule!! they're all fucking!!"), and they probably still are raving tbh, so I appreciate Re: Dracula properly communicating VH's disdain for the idea and Jack's disdain for VH's disdain. It's more than an offensive joke, VH is bitter at Arthur's words because it would ironically make them all husbands of Lucy, and he morally objects to the idea of polyandry and betraying his wife though he considers her dead to him (comatose? out of her mind? either way, he can't/won't divorce her but still values the virtue of his faithfulness). Likewise, Jack doesn't appreciate VH's apparent derision towards Arthur and the insulting way he refers to Lucy as a polyandrist. But VH assures Jack that he's simply venting to Jack because Jack is his friend, and he dares not to express these harsh feelings to Arthur, who reminds him of his son.

"Friend John, forgive me if I pain. I showed not my feeling to others when it would wound, but only to you, my old friend, whom I can trust. If you could have looked into my very heart then when I want to laugh; if you could have done so when the laugh arrived; if you could do so now, when King Laugh have pack up his crown, and all that is to him—for he go far, far away from me, and for a long, long time—maybe you would perhaps pity me the most of all." I was touched by the tenderness of his tone, and asked why. "Because I know!"

See, this is why he will not tell Jack. Not because he's scared of him. Because he knows that to know is to suffer. He does not wish any suffering upon Jack, though he should realize that keeping secrets has been the cause of much suffering already.

[swallowedbyfandom]

My beloved son,

I must say the getaway you arranged for Portia was a splendid gift. She was extremely touched by your gesture. I would know, I was over for tea when your letter arrived. I was surprised you would go to such lengths to show your appreciation for your new mama as you have never done something so grand for your old mama.

I am sure you did not mean to slight me. You would never put me in the position of having the other mama's in the Ton gossip about how you fawn over your new mama. Of course not, you are too thoughtful a son to ignore the woman who gave you life. You would never disappoint me in such a manner.

I am sure you are arranging something equally as impressive for me. It must just be taking you a little longer to set up my surprise. Do not worry. I can be patient, so long as not too much time passes.

Expectantly,

Your mother

Mother,

How could you doubt me? I am your most charming son, of course I have something in the works for you. Please be at ease.

If you must know I just wanted to show my regard for Portia's struggles. I know she has been abrasive and cruel in the past. I am not justifying her behavior. However that cruelty, and the fearsome reputation she garnered kept them safe. She kept my wife safe from the less scrupulous men in society. Whom may have believed my tiny wife easy prey. Let us be honest Baron Featherington left his Ladies vulnerable even before his passing. That they managed as well as they did for as long as they did, can be attributed to how cut throat and manipulative Portia was.

Did you know shortly after my wife debuted, Lord Featherington meant to settle one of this many debts with her hand in marriage? Fortunately after he notified Portia of his decision he took a tumble down the stairs while intoxicated. He had an attack of conscience thereafter and promptly decided to leave the marital decisions up to Portia. I admire that, mama.

Also Mr. Finch, is the worst, I swear. He told on me! He ran off and snitched. He even sent a letter taunting me! He had the gall to claim he had stolen my title as Portia's favorite son. As if I could be displaced so easily. You know how competitive I can be. This is the perfect way to one up Albion and to allow Portia a chance to relax.

There is a code that gentleman must follow. A sacred part of that code is not repeating the tomfoolery that happens in a gentlemen's club. I must avenge my honor. I shall not be defeated by some cheese monger.

Yours always,

Col

Dearest Colin,

It is lovely to see you are bonding with your new brother. Do be careful not to overwhelm Mr. Finch. Most people(sane people) are not as competitive as you and your siblings. Do be careful that your freud with Mr. Finch doesn't get too out of hand. The last thing we need is sweet Penelope getting caught in the crossfire.

I shall be gracious and allow you to forego a grand gesture. In exchange you will send over my grand babies for the next four weekends. I need more cuddle time with my sweet darlings. You can use that time to pamper your wife.

Hugs and kisses,

Your mama

Husband,

I apologize for falling asleep midway through our conversation. I see you are out with your brothers and I will likely be sleeping again before you return. So here are my thoughts.

Colin you have 8 sisters, 2 mamas, 4 nieces, a wife, and a daughter and still you have much to learn about women. That is a trap. I repeat it is a trap. Do not walk into it. You cannot forego a gesture. You will purchase your mama an elegant cameo, with a disgustingly excessive floral arrangement. Then and only then, will you accept her offer for babysitting. It would not hurt to arrange an outing for just the two of you.

I can entertain my apprentice and Gregory while you both have a day out. It would be nice to plan an adventure for Gregory and Hyacinth before he goes off to Elton.

Yours always,

A sleepy wife

Bracket F Round 1

Poll 32

Tourniquet (@oatchi) vs. Brandon Coal (@anothersmoldragon)

383. Tourniquet (@oatchi)

he/him

If you're familiar with Transformers Animated, you may have asked yourself before: "Why doesn't the RULER OF CYBERTRON have a medic on his ship when visiting a potentially dangerous organic planet?" Tourniquet is my answer to this! He's sweet and kind, if not a bit overly anxious about all the pressure on him.

You may also have questions about his name, which I can gladly answer! It comes from his Energon control tubes. Stored in his hands are clear tubes made of thick material, with claw like endings on them. One in each finger! He uses these to plug into bots and do things like help patch up internal leaks, do Energon transfusions, and even cut off flow to open wounds! Hence the name.

He treats everyone with high levels of respect, regardless of status, which can lead some people to think he takes his job too seriously. Underneath that, however, is a highly energetic guy with a love for knowledge. He's gotten into a bit of hijinks before, searching out data he really shouldn't have access too, but now does as a member of the elite guard.

He's probably the only person to think of Ratchet as a super important historical figure, to Ratchet's mild confusion and annoyance. He comes around to him, though. It's hard not to when Tourniquet's so genuine about everything he does, including infodumping to you about your own not so great past.

While typically a bit meek until he opens up to you, one thing that's very apparent is that he is meticulous. When needing to convey information, he's known to go on long winded spiels. Whether it be trying to justify his work, or simply defending the honor of one of his superiors after someone disrespected them, he can talk. It can be annoying, even to those who like him. He tends to need to be almost literally physically shaken out of one, once he starts to pace while talking.

Tourniquet has had a bit of a mixed bag past, being a top of his class student due to his love to seek out knowledge, but you know what they say... Curiosity killed the cat. Overall, he's just a very silly, sweet guy who has been through a bit and taken over every thought in my mind.

A red and white Transformer who turns into a motorcycle. He's an Autobot Medic, and his symbol is adorned with Elite Guard stripes. He has two large vials of Energon on his back.

384. Brandon Coal (@anothersmoldragon)

He/Him

He's a twenty five year old comic book nerd who works a nine to five and fights scary creatures on the weekends with his childhood best friend. Loyal to a fault and trying to overcome his anxiety, he's constantly dragged into trouble against his better judgement. A vote for Brandon is a vote for tea enjoyers forced to ingest coffee to finally Get Some Rest.

He wears a brown cardigan over a grey hoodie with three green rectangles on the front as a design with black pants and dark grey sneakers with green highlights on the bottoms. He has fluffy dark brown hair that goes down to his shoulders, green eyes with deep bags underneath them, thick dark brown eyebrows, a tall nose and brown skin. He is also six foot five inches.

🍍 What kind of AUs do you like? Are there any AUs you hate or just generally have beef with?

i HATE swap aus. like 99 percent of swap aus in any fandom i hate. especially hero/villain swaps ("the good guys are now the bad guys and vice versa"), or backstory/"species" swaps, like. i'm sure it can be done well but i hate it almost every time, especially when it's used in increasingly infuriating ways and just. AGHGHGHH.

also see: dark aus, most of the time. just not my cup of tea. i don't mind dark fiction or like, stories about fucked up little dudes, but i don't tend to really like aus that make a character who is kind/good/etc into someone evil/cruel/etc. so like, watching, fucking. hannibal or something? sure. serial killer au for my sweet blorbo? less so, usually. i can be lenient on my enjoyment if it's well done and not an excuse to villainize a character i love but it just generally doesn't work for me. like, i go to dark stuff for dark stuff, i don't want to see a character i love for being good and kind-hearted be cruel and mean and kill people. it's a different mindset. (also, although this isn't all dark aus, some are just like "evil" aus that just sort of. two dimensionally make a "good" character "bad" instead of actually thinking about it in a complex/interesting way and that's even worse. it just feels like edgelord oooguhhh but what if the good guy.....was a MUUURRRDERERRRR OOOOUUUUHHHH and i dislike that. even more.)

as for aus i like... idk man, it depends! i love a good time travel fix-it but that's kind of suited to pretty specific kinds of fandom i think. uh, i like aus that add magic/fantastical elements to non-magical/fantastical settings. i admit i've got a fondness for a/b/o but only in like. extremely specific circumstances that a lot of fics don't meet, because i really like parts of it (and it's a convenient way to include a collection of certain tropes like without having to justify it or come up with worldbuilding from scratch or dedicate to a certain aesthetic) and really hate parts of it (god the insanely terrible and weird way some a/b/o aus get, esp in huge fandoms is. wow.) and it's just a toss-up on what you're going to get, so i end up avoiding reading them but sometimes writing them.

actually, come to think of it, my answer does kind of change based on if it's what aus do i like to read versus like to write. i tend to write weirdly specific aus based on other things/fusions of other things i enjoy or weird worldbuilding i came up with possibly to justify some really specific image or scene i came up with randomly. hmm

Can't a ghost have some peace?

...and mora wouldn't be bad either...

Soooooo...guys, granny was occupied with her exams this week and my freak out time also took some time off of my schedule, this mean: to the people who is somewhat interested in the lyneyxreader "I'm not nuts, okay?!", most of the second chapter is in the work, but its still not complete. That work will probably only be 3 chapters long.

Anyway, no one cares about this old granny that doesn't know how to work the internet quites right yet, lets just focus in my new brainrot!

Guys, do you remember Hu tao's quest?? The ghost boy and Hu tao's insistence in helping the passing, *cof**cof* such as chasing Qiqi *cof**cof*

So, you, my sweet summer child, reader, is a ghost!

The afterlife isn't that exciting, you dare say, you die and you keep having the same apparence, same place, same everything, EVEN same job! C'mon! You thought death was supposed to be about resting!

But nooooo!

You literally die from working way too much in the family hotel, get a silent funeral where your crazy uncle buries your old shell in the garden just for your soul to be unnerved enough by It to make you return. Seriously, you just wanted something a little more beautiful than just freaking dirt to lay for eternity, but still, he justifies that your body was meant to bring the earth back to it's glorious days with blooming flowers.

Anyway, with no more employees other than your deceased self and your employer, uncle Yan, running the place was simply a mess, alone in the path between Liyue to Sumeru with just travelers to keep human company for you two. You always thought this Bull crap of only employing family was dumb, the only thing keeping...that kept you, when alive, was the heck of a guilt trip your parents forced down your throat, hypocrites! Both of them, leaving you here while going on to explore Teyvat. "Adventurous hearts", They said, couldn't keep them locked down, but your poor uncle! How would he keep your great great great parents bussiness running If he was alone?!

Your uncle was fine, the second you reappeared in a ghostly form trying to get him scared enough to change your burial ground he simply sipped his tea, said you should change and eat your supper before before It gets cold, after that, to hurry to bed because, as he put It, "the early worm gets be safe from the bird". And there! Back to work.

It took you some time, but slowly you learnt how to keep your shape stable and still be able to interact with solid objects, even If everything was the same, being a completelly new being without a solid form to keep your soul grounded and in its shape was hard! Many doesn't know, but the soul is like a mollusc seeking for a home, its composition being maleable in such a way It shapes itself to the body that houses it, but, after losing its recipient, time also eats away the form It was holding previuosly and learning how to still be...you took you some valuable time.

Anyhow, everything happened, let bygone be bygones, hada hada hada, you wake to the rising sun, work and...stare in space or wander around the place as the sun set, till the Sun wakes to greet you once again. Though the 'not needing sleep' thing let you pick up and try multiple hobbies, flowers were finally blooming in the garden with the help of your ghostly hands and the books about gardening your uncle buys from some merchands that pass by, you perfected your abilities with bakering and started to try new recipes the casual guest speaks about here and there, you are trying to learn your uncle's way with tales but still, It seems theater is not in your genes. That dramatic man probably took ALL of It from the whole family in the gene pool.

So see, you are a pretty laid back and chill ghost, is almost as If you never died in the first place, so can that freaking child leave you alone?! Brunette, teenager, obsessed with passing, keep giving the guests creepy advices and trying to tie you up to force you to go be burried. You feel like you became way to good with the impression of a kind of solid body.

"Don't be to hasle, director, If they get too upset we will have another burnt day." - uncle's playful voice reaches your ears.

Multiple groans follows after, together with Yan's resounding laughter. Before...

"What's a burnt day?" - a child like voice echos in your ears, you bet this little pal didn't wish to sound like they are screeching, still...

"It's when the director pisses the lad so much, They burn each and every meal They make! Please! I will only stay for a week, i can't keep eating just burnt food, miss!" - pleads one of your guests.

"They need to find rest! Thats the cycle of li-", the annoying teen is cut off by a higher screech of the kid.

"THEY BURN ALL OF THEM?! THAT'S SUCH A WASTE!!"

Taking that as enough of a warning about the incoming usual ping pong discussion of 'let me bury you' and ' no's' you share with the brunette, you sneak away to the garden....what?

You hide away, walking to the farthest that is still inside the premises of the hotel so you won't listen to the girl's resoning once again in repeat, a place distant enough so your form will flicker and leave you looking like a shadow, but not enough to force It back to your resting body. It always gives you whiplash.

You sit by a tree, gazing the distance, head empty or so you wish to be, the pounding in It is so unfair, you don't even have a real head! And yet, your confusing feelings are quite too much for a soul to remember how to induce a headache.

Your irritation with the endless motivational talks about resting peacefully in death, with not being able to get there, with your uncle's calmness with this infernal situation, with your parents who left you and don't even know their guilt trip lead you to your demise, with your stupid broken self preservation and, on the other hand, after all the rage passes, you can only feel numb and frustrated. You sigh, trying to let all out in an exale of air, leave all the feelings in the place that haunts your spirit. Kinda of ironic If you do say so.

You look towards your burial ground, at least is as beautiful as you once...is that....is that blond girl...no, no, everyone gets warned about not...SHE FREAKING IS! SHE'S FREAKING TAKING YOUR FLOWERS! YOUR GODDAMNED BODY FLOWERS!

"HEY! HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" - You almost fall with how fast you jump up and run towards her, How dare she?! Your soul can't rest and now even your rotting shell has to be disturbed?! Nuh huh!

"You...you can interact with me? Is...this a cutscene?" - she whisper to herself.

You don't even get to have a sad, poetic moment for 5 minutes and now what? Is SHE confused about being a ghost?

"OF COURSE I CAN! LEAVE MY FLOWERS ALONE!"

"But...but i need to Farm...."

"...What?"

"I-i mean-", she coughs lightly as if she was simply trying to win some time to remember what she was saying, "-how...Hello, my name is Lumine.", she puts her hands in her waist, posing as a hero.

"....and?"

She looks at you like you were the weird one, "alright,see you later", she smiles and turn to continue picking the flowers, RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR STUNNED FACE! How can someone be so shamelles?!

"See you now, miss!", you step on her scarf, her beautiful, glowing scarf! If she wasn't picking your body eating flowers you would be on your knees pleading for forgiveness for dirting such gorgeous thing. She gags as her troath is struck by the scarf. "Don't pick on my body!"

She turns, annoyed, "Look who is talking?!"

"don't come with that on me! I'm not the one that's literally taking someone else's death tribute!"

"Who's death are you talking?!"

"Me! You are stepping in my FREAKING body! Taking my flowers! That i myself had to give for me!"

"wait, what?"

"i get It, no one fucking cares about my end other then what i should do now that i passed! But guess what?! I'm tired of working and working and working just to waste away, for what?! just want to rest in a beautiful place, ok?! Don't i deserve to pretend that someone cares for me at least?!", you huff, even without a troath you feel a horrible pain in your vocal chords, "i just.... can't i have some semblance of...being important?"

She looked, truly looked at you, not as just some nobody trying to catch her attention. Blank face, still her eyes held an understanding you haven't seen in a long while, she gently placed the flowers in her hands back. "You are the ghost."

"...If you try and spill that Bull crap about peace and leaving this earth, then pack it, i don't wanna hear It."

"you can't leave", she says as If realising a big secret.

You look at her, sighing before sitting beside It.

She is hesitant before sitting by you, looking at the flowers. "... that's How you died?"

"Working to the bone? Yeah, and look where It got me...."

"fighting a girl about flowers?" - she jests, almost silent.

You huff a laughter, "yeah, i guess."

You two share the silent for some time and thats How your friendship with Lumine starts. Maybe, afterlife can be exciting after all.

Thats It!

Guys, i simply LOVE the twins, i'm simply in love with them both! Lumine is such a princess and Aether is such a cutie!

Anyway, granny is a little bland i think, hehehe.

Geishin fanfic lovers, If you reach this point, know my little secret...

Granny loves y'all!!!

Drink water and don't forget to eat, lets forever share the brainrots together ;)

[lyannnar]

anyway.

cw: talking about rape in terms of loosely analysing a text

is saint daisy by blue jay walker about rape?

is that a valid interpretation of this song?

maybe abduction?

i'm thinking of something like Paulina from Death and the Maiden

"saint daisy was a sweet little thing" innocence, right? something we cherish?

"had a paper heart, you could sign your name" oh no. she doesn't know what people can do, does she?

"once the ink spilled, she was never the same." the ink has tainted her paper heart. ink being a man probably over her age or just some wanker. jack was his name if it's to be taken literally.

history of the jack-in-a-box on wikipedia says that a theory of where the idea comes from is from an old tale of a devil being sealed in a boot.

a devil. known for doing bad things

the french name for a jack-in-the-box is "diable-en-boite" literally devil in a box

"sweet tea summer and the eyes of greed, hands gettin' used to takin' what they need" jack is greedy. he's got complete power over saint daisy right? because in the next line:

"all the telephone polls started melting in the heat, now they don't call home no more" she can't call home.

adding onto the deflowering idea there's "i guess that pretty little flower was to blame, should've known the way the world likes to deal with a weed." daisy is the flower. and daisies can be considered a weed. sometimes. if you don't want them. it also plays into the narrative of oh they deserved it that is used by rapists or rapist-sympathisers to justify what they've done.

"had her number dialed and her wiles tamed til she couldn't even recognise the pain." stockholm syndrome? maybe just generally becoming numb to the pain over time?

later

"oh his spring got lose, started cuttin' free" did she escape?

"and daisy got caught where she shouldn't be."

"daisy came around 'cause her roots were strong" she got out! I hope.

... "she took his box and his spring and she left him his mind." she did something to jack. and it destroyed him. he received his retribution. power to her.

sounds like paulina salas right? exacting retribution on her captor/abuser?

[mcwentfandomtraveling]

OMG MY WIFI DIDN'T LET ME REPLY TO THE POST HOW RUDE OF IT ;-; sorry for the long reply it would seem my wifi is screwy

Anyways!

Arthur having flings was when him and Mc weren't exclusive, and when they became exclusive he stopped and would basically move heaven and earth for her! He loves her! A lot! And just because previous partners come up and talk to him and he responds with something along the lines of "It's nice to see you but I don't do that kind of thing anymore" he really doesn't! And I trust he doesn't! He used sleeping around and drinking at the bar with Theo as coping strategies for his trauma...

But I agree when I read Arthur's route for the first ever time...I hated him until mid-story...I didn't understand the biting in the beginning...I thought that was a jackass way of flirting...

But what I see now reading that scene...Arthur is internally panicking...he's having a trauma response...he sees a nice person and doesn't want them to end up dead like other nice people in his life that he cared about...he's not exactly acting rationally...it was his instinct response to trauma...which doesn't justify the action...

However...after he's had time to cool off...he gravely regrets his decision...like badly and thinks for days what's the best way to apologize...he's scared...and doesn't know what to do...and honestly he does apologize...from the heart...and he meant it...and person I forgive him and I can empathize that trauma is hard and trauma responses are hardly ever rational and it doesn't make biting Mc right but I forgive him...he does care...and he is sorry...he's a poor traumatized boi that isn't getting help for the trauma he has...

And as for taking no for an answer, after that one trauma episode for him in chapter 3...I think if you said no and meant it, he would respect that, he has seriously conversations with Mc and he doesn't flirt in thoes moments...or make any kind of comment...I really think he can read his partner's body language and has an understanding of "this is ok"...that's just Mc's personality and how Arthur and her relationship was written...

Let's say...there is no Mc...Mitsuki farewell...take a backseat...it's Kat's turn...

If You were in this game setting as yourself with your own thoughts, feelings, and mannerisms, body language, and everything...

Arthur and all the mansion residents would react differently...and I feel like...idk let's say your pursuing Arthur...and as yourself...not Mc Mitsuki...told him "no Arthur, I don't feel comfortable with X,Y, and Z" he'd listen to what you have to say and adapt to fit your needs...

Mc Mitsuki is just simply written to like and be chill with the way the two of them interact...I relate quite a bit with Mitsuki's personality and decisions (not always but most of the time) and level of comfort with the mansion residents and how they each act...

But you got me on the cockyness and smugness...personally I find it cute! But I see hoe that may clash with some people and it's not everyone's cup of tea! Fair enough! To all thier own!

As for in other routes, I think he's taking on this "occasional bad guy" thing by purposely flirting with them as a way to make the guy she does like look even better in her eyes...that's how I read into it honestly...he's not doing it with the intention to steal...he's doing it as a way to make the other one look better compared to him...he wants to purposely throw himself under the bus like that...

Anyways that's just how I read him!

And to be honest! I had the complete opposite feeling to you about Charles! I felt like Arthur was the more sweet and understanding one and Charles was clingy and possessive and couldn't be told no!

Haha! It's cool how we pick up on a different kind of subtext from eachother! We definitely think differently! It's interesting! It's cool to hear your perspective :D

Oh! And as for calling women "skirts" I think that just goes with the time period he grew up in which was just simply a normal term that didn't particularly offend so Arthur just doesn't know that it causes offense and thought it just gives them a laugh to be called as such, if he knew it would hurt someone...he would stop...Arthur cares and doesn't mean any harm...my man hung up his doctor's coat because he couldn't save a patient form a terminal illness...he just hates it when harm is caused...

If he causes any pain or hurt...he deeply and gravely regrets it...he cares...

Now with my opinion said!

COME ON KAT!!! TELL ME MORE ABOUT WHAT YOU LOVE ABOUT CHARLES AND WILL!!! I DON'T CARE IF IT'S RATIONAL I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE LOVE CHARACTERS!!!! TELL ME MORE!!! PLEEEEEASEEEE!!!

Hugs!!!

Kaaaaaat!!! Hello! It's Nori!!! I should totally be using my otome blog (Mcofthemansion) to talk about otome stuff but oh well!

KAT YOUR FICS ARE GREAT AND YOU HAVE A GREAT PORTRAYAL OF ARTHUR!!!

And I seriously won't be able to sleep at night unless I ask what is it about him specifically that you don't like???

Do you not like how flirty he is? 🤔

Is it the fear of potential cheating? Let me answer that one real quick! Because that's a passionate topic for me! 😅 So, I know before the events of the story of ikemen vampire Arthur slept with multiple women, HOWEVER! They all knew about eachother! Like in Arthur's route they even say "when will you come see us again" and stuff! It was a consensual fb situation! And once Arthur falls in love with Mc he doesn't go back to them and they are ok with that! I think Arthur is actually really loyal! Like in an abherrent incident he out of loyalty and not wanting to hurt Mc tries to wait out the bloodlust in the woods in a shack somewhere but Mc goes searching anyways!

Anyways, he's not a pick-up artist or a cheater!

So may I ask what things about him you dislike?

Is it the smugness when he wins games?

Does his backstory bother you?

I'm so sorry! I just genuinely really want to hear your opinion! If that's ok!

While I'm here, what particularly draws you to Charles and Will? I'd love to hear that as well! If you don't mind!!!

But please!!! I really wanna hear your thoughts!!!

Hope you're having a lovely day!!!

Everyone really harassing me with Arthur today. ITD FINE THO.

Also... I honestly LOVE writing Arthur... I feel like I write him well honestly

So like... I don't see Arthur being loyal. He has multiple flings at once. Multiple a week, sometimes even a day.

He doesn't take no as an answer. Being a flirt isn't the issue it's that he doesn't know when to stop. In the first chapter when he goes to bite you he doesn't take no for an answer, and Sebastian thinks he did it to distract me from running off, and he admits more than once that that isn't the reason.

Even when you clearly say that you want him to stop trying to bite you, and you are scared he doesn't stop.

His smugness would definitely piss me off if it was towards me, and his cockyness.

I just don't think he would realize his love for mc.in such a short time, while also having flings on the same time.

Even in other routes when he knows you like another guy he keeps being touchy and flirting with you, damn well knowing you don't want him. He just doesn't give up.

Calling all women "skirts" is a little off putting to me too. I get it's a nickname and I clearly have nothing wrong with hondje. But he's talking about all women in a degrading way.

I honestly don't remember much of his back story... We didn't get too much but we are getting more in his sequel, which I will be reading despite hating him.

~

Ppl will ask me why I like Charles and not Arthur...Charles understands no. He knows when to back off, he's upset about it, but he still backs down.

Charles is flirty and doesn't fully understand the meaning of love and thinks it's to just be wanted. Arthur has flings for the same reason he drinks.

Honestly I couldn't tell you what the hell I see in Will but I love him so much. He's so pretty and I want to kiss him.

(I apologize for the mistakes) Hello, sweet Eden~! How are you doing? You love cats, right (as far as I understand)? Do you want me to share with you my most favorite photos of my cat? (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)

Modsu, how are you doing? How is your health? Do you sleep, eat and drink enough water? Recently, there have been serious attacks on VN developers using yandere, so I want to remind you that we love and support you ❤

I'M HIJACKING THIS POST BECAUSE I WANT SO BADLY TO SEE CATS. AT ALL TIMES. PLEASE.

Also I'm okay! I've been spending a weekend out of state with my friends of many years, having a lot of fun! Because of that, I'm also unaware of what you mean? Attacks? Did something happen? If you mean run of the mill anon hate, I can handle that lol. I've been dealing with that for years and years.

I can't understand why harmless interest in a horror trope and indulgence through the safety of harmless fiction earns hate in some people's eyes. The only exception would be properties that write these tropes and mentalities as if they're healthy, or something you should desire in your real life. I'm certainly not the kind of person to go spouting that fiction doesn't affect reality, because the tone and intent of your project can make a world of difference in the message it puts across. But since all of the projects I know of and follow are tagged as horror, and the creators I've spoken to have been considerate, thoughtful and responsible, I would think that implies a level of self awareness that wouldn't suggest that anyone means to promote or justify toxic relationship dynamics like that. Nowhere is writing a dark story inherently equivalent to endorsing it. Even if there's porn in it. And anyone who enjoys it through the safe lens of fiction and fantasy, as long as they understand that fact, isn't hurting anyone. It's like reading a raunchy novel about having sex with a stranger, without all the dangers that come with doing that in the real world. That's part of the reason these accounts do not want minors interacting with their projects. A young and impressionable mind can wildly misinterpret these stories if distributed or consumed irresponsibly, and the results can be catastrophic. Nobody I know of in this community wants to endanger young audiences, and the bad actors that do are swiftly called out and cast out, plain and simple. As someone who's never been able to stomach keeping quiet about people pulling sick shit, I like it that way.

I wrote a thesis back in school about the dangers of romanticizing abusive and toxic relationships, so I feel like I know what I'm talking about; but even still I am always open to considering new opinions and concerns, of course. I'm also free to disagree with you. And in the first place, if you are uncomfortable with the subject matter, I urge you to not expose yourself to it in the first place! I don't mean that in a "Haha, I'm ✨problematic✨, dont like it? leave." type of way, either. Shutting out criticism entirely is never wise. What I mean is simply that you should never worsen your mood or mental state for something that's just not your cup of tea! Horror isn't for everyone! Erotica isn't for everyone! And that's perfectly fine! I don't want you here if you're not going to enjoy yourself! My main goal in all of this is to make something fun and creepy for others who like fun and creepy things to sink their teeth into, but I can't and won't do that unless I can do so responsibly and respectfully. I'm never justifying these behaviors, and I'm certainly NEVER trying to encourage anyone to seek relationships like these out. If anything, I'd hope the narrative I intend to weave with Parasocialite would portray the fear and the horrors of it realistically. I definitely don't want rose tinted glasses to be on for the experience.

Anyway, here's a silly picrew of Eden

Can companies that bottle/can “sweet” tea stop putting citric acid in them?  If I wanted my tea to taste like I had a lemon slice dunked in there, I’d get a lemon flavor, or I’d dunk a lemon slice in there.  When I get a sweet tea, I want a sweet tea and the citric acid really cuts back on the sweetness.

[detroitbecomeyandere]

So I just recently started watching You on Netflix (yeah I know, I am very late to the party) and I'm so into it. Beck is annoying as hell, her dialogue is clunky and she just brings down the scenes she's in but Joe is great. I love the way he is written and how we get to hear his inner obsession and I love it, it's everything I want in a yandere and more. I'm only about half way through season 1 and I can't wait to finish it. All that being said, bookstore clerk Connor falling for his regular customer. He is always recommending new books to you and after a few months of you coming in starts to bring you coffees or teas whenever you sit down for a read.

Thanks to his older brother he now has access to all your social medias and everything you have stored in the cloud, he checks obsessively, seeing everything you have planned and all the deep personal conversations you have. Everytime you complain about some stupid guy who never texted you back or stood you up all Connor can do is think about how he would never do that to you. With him you wouldn't have anything to complain about, you were perfect for each other.

He starts to use the cloud to his advantage, showing up to the same area you are in and every once in a while he "bumps" into you on accident. It really was easy to insert himself into your life, and you, sweet, lovely, naive you doesn't even realize how easy it was. You need him to keep you safe there are just so many awful people in this world and if he could get into your things so quickly then so could they.

His heart stops when he reads the texts about him, describing the cute bookshop employee, it was all falling into place. He'd ask you out the next time he sees you, you'll say yes of course because why wouldn't you? You and Connor were so obviously meant to be together, two peas in a pod, you completed each other. So when you walked in with some random man Connor was justifiably confused and upset, how could you do this? No it wasn't you, it had to be this man, this man who saw your kind nature and decided to pounce on it, and how dare he. This man, no beast was only going to use you and toss you away like trash, breaking your heart into a million pieces in the process leaving nothing behind but a hurt and broken person. He can't let that happen, he won't let that happen to you.

All it takes is a quick look into your gps history and a "last minute" appointment to find and follow the two of you for the rest of the day. He watches as he watches you go into your apartment, in the shadows, where he's always been protecting you. Connor follows the man to his home and soon enough his little problem is no more. He doesn't like to resort to violence, he hates it in fact, but for you he'd look past the unpleasantries, for you he'd look past everything

[genkaineotome]

Since im replaying amnesia after the switch release of amnesia and later x crowd. I figured I'd do a review of the routes like I usually do! I played the game before I started this blog. So it'll be a new experience.

Starring with my boy shin!

Man do I have some mixed feelings about this boy. He's genuinely sweet, means the best, bad at expressing his emotions. Can have that tsundere edge but is not as offensive as takeru who... just disrespects the fuck out of hoshino... also his story is absolutely amazing. I love the murder mystery aspect. It's probably the 2nd best plot line imo. You get to see a fair bit into Tomas character as well. It's a great opener into the game.

HOWEVER I explained my issues with him in a different post... he's extremely deceptive. And lies. And he doesn't even feel bad about it. If anything he justifies it constantly in the story. And if its challenged people are just like meh whatever... and HEROINE ALSO DOESNT BAT AN EYE AT IT. She has to be the most complacent MC of all time... I swear. Cause some of the other shit shin gets away with is worse. Cause -- can we talk about his predatory and non consent comments? Saying that you'll have your way with Mc and "I'm your boyfriend don't you know what will happen" and even FURTHER. her being like stop im not comfortable and then you making yourself the victim and saying "oh its fine you'll treat me like a friend anyways." Like ???? This is one example but it happens alot in the route that I never even noticed. They are easy to miss, but it sets off my red flag radars everytime.

You know where this is going but shin is not my cup of tea. Though I know he is many others. He is an extremely well written character and I find all the characters of amnesia to be unique and different compared to the others. What seems irredeemable for me might be a turn on for others! I am not here to judge your tastes. Honestly I'm glad if you can find a route you like, cause this game is amazing and should be well loved. Plus I have no place to talk, my fav LI of all time makes you do math.

Have fun and stay safe yall.

Ciao!

[atinycupofpositivitea]

Sometimes, when people stop talking to me, I get this terrifying feeling that I chased them off because I’m a bit excitable and talk a lot when I’m excited and I feel like I’m generally pretty annoying. I’m always afraid people won’t come back, even if we were getting along before they just disappeared. I’m always afraid I’ve done something wrong. Sometimes people come back and everything’s okay, sometimes they never speak to me again. It’s honestly made me very insecure over the years because I never know if it really WAS my fault, if it was something I said or did that made them quietly cut off contact with me. Am I justified in feeling this way? Am I just being paranoid? How do I stop this feeling?

Hey there Anon! ❤️

I'm truly sorry you are getting these negative feelings when people stop talking to you. It sounds hard for you to cope with it and I want you to know it's okay to feel what you feel.

First of all I want to say that, 99% of the time, your talking habits/personality/interests have nothing to do with why a person stops talking to you. It could be anything, they might have social anxiety, they might be too busy, they might be bad at keeping in contact, they might just not be engaged with texting and prefer face-to-face conversations.

Please do understand that said person might ALSO not like you and wants to stop talking to you, and it's valid for them to do so and it's valid for you to feel bad about it. People grow and find themselves changing often friends and connections and that's ultimately a personal choice. It doesn't mean something is wrong with you at all. It means you are sweet 🥭 mango juice and they found out they prefer 🍋 lemon juice. You just need to find more sweet fruits like you! ❤️

Unless you directly ask, you will never know the real reasons and it is no use thinking about whether it was your fault. You can ask people why they have been distant without implying it's your fault, that's totally okay and acceptable. If you immediately think something is wrong with you, that is an indication of an underlying past trauma and it would be best to talk about it with a licensed therapist who can help you get through it.

If you want to make a step forward, forgive yourself and try to tell yourself it's okay if some people stop talking to you. It doesn't mean you are less worthy. Your worth is not measured by how long and consistently friends talk to you, at all! Trust me, it's a game you can't win: some people will leave, some people won't, sometimes you will have to put more effort in friendships in order to not let good people leave (I have great friends who are bad at keeping in touch. Sometimes it's just personality!). Sometimes you will be the one leaving, maybe because you have a toxic friend, who knows. Just be honest to people and remind yourself you are worthy, always.

Sending many loving thoughts! Hope it gets better soon.

Love, Tea ✨

[jelixpo]

peach really keeps getting interrupted every time she's about to truly reflect on her culpability, huh? and then it just becomes all too easy to revert back to defensiveness. poor girl. wish she'd really take the time to look at the impact the trauma of running a kingdom that used to perpetually be in crisis has on her. you'd think she'd be better at treating people with empathy though, given her standing. but being pure of heart or etc doesnt always mean that, huh? (1/2)

"anyways i really like how you're writing toadsworth here! it'd be too easy to revert to his canonization of constantly worrying nonstop and being overbearing about it, but the man's been a steward for a long time! he's seen peach through infancy and raised her through ruling a country! surely the man has some sense, or he'd have been dismissed by now. love him, and im sure mario appreciated his presence, what with him probably not having anything to do with recent events in his mind. (2/2)"

There's a lot happening right now but Peach WILL get her moment of self-reflection, I assure you. As hard as it is to believe, her goals are pure despite the hostile route she takes to get to them. The end justifies the means in her eyes.

And Toadsworth is the father figure to everyone!! He's just a sweet old man who wants everyone to be happy but doesn't always know how to make it that way. His perception is very surface level, which makes his assistance very surface level. For Mario it works, since Mario requires the basic needs to survive just as a person. Toadsworth is able to physically SEE that Mario is exhausted and, therefore, needs rest and a nice cup of tea but for Peach it's different. Her emotions and her needs are very deeply rooted, purposfully so, and her need is an emotional one rather than a physical one. You're right in that Toadsworth has the sense to try and help Peach, but he unfortunately isn't capable of giving her the type of support that she needs because of who he is.

He does provide Mario with a great amount of relief tho.

Nie Mingjue & Jin Guangyao & Lan Huan for the ship ask!

HI SO

As i said, i have not finished the untamed yet, and i have been told there are some very very important revelations about these three in store, so I am going to answer this ask in two parts. I'll make my guesses now (ep 38, i think), and then once i'm done with the show i'll reblog and make the necessary amendments. No spoilers, please. Enjoy that sweet, sweet dramatic irony.

I do not really ship Moustache, Legolas and Hat, but here's how I see it working:

Legolas and Moustache are both, each in their own way, hyper-competent. This is what first brings them together; initially, for basically work reasons (clan reasons are work reasons for them, i guess), until one day one or both of them feel like having a fling and they decide it just seems sensible to do so with someone who knows what they're doing (*Knows What They're Doing* 😉) and who they respect and trust not to bring unnecessary drama into the whole thing. Except. Turns out Nie Mingjue's assertive-bordering-on-agressive attitude and Lan Huan's even, calm personality, balance each other remarkably well. And there is a reason why they thought of each other that way in the first place (namely that Lan Huan has a thing for tiny moustaches). And they are both carrying so much responsibility on their shoulders, that strategy conversations become emotional support conversations, become rare moments of vulnerability that they couldn't really have had with anyone else, because everyone around them is either under their care, or above them in the clan hierarchy, or a possible enemy...

Hat (who atm is secretly doing some messed up stuff, i suspect), takes longer to enter this dynamic, partially because he is younger than them. Nie Mingjue had a strong affection for him in the past, but now doesn't quite know what to do with him (to be fair, a number of things have happened which justify this). Lan Huan is initially won over by Jin Guangyao's dignified endurance of his circumstances, but puts him firmly in the "to be looked after" category... Until, against all expectations, Jin Guangyao reveals himself not only a clever, useful ally, but an emotional and intellectual equal.

This part of the relationship goes slow. I'm going to level with you, in the show as is, i see no romantic tension there (will i have to eat my words?) so the tension has to be built by making this painful.

Jin Guangyao starts off totally into it, but for the wrong reasons. NM and LH represent the stability and social standing he never had. The fact that NM had had a very dramatic falling out with him, but had once been ready to not entirely dismiss him out of prejudice only reinforces this idea.

As time goes on, however, NM and LH start opening up to him, amitting him itno the moments of vulnerability they have with one another. This is true equality and companionship of a kind JG did not expect. Maybe one day LH is tired enough that he breaks his vacant pleasant expression to rub his forehead and mess his headband, or NM lowers his guard for a second and actually looks softly at JG while serving him tea (for once, JG is not the one pouring and it feels strange and nice and strange, this man who has known him for so long and who has reason to mistrust him, and who is still offering him a warm fragrant cup)

Basically, what can do you do when the men you've admired for years and projected all of your issues onto turn out to be flawed and human, except fall head-over-heels in love?

This is all terrible, of course, because now JG wants to be close, actually close, but to do so, one must submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known which, even leaving aside the countless self-esteem issues that JG surely must have accumulated along years of unfair mistreatment, is a bit tricky for JG... Because, as established, i firmly believe he's up to Frowned-Upon Spirit Stuff.

Follows the slowest of slow burns, 2/3 people assuming the reserve they sense is the result of a lack of romantic interest (or, NM occasionally thinks at three am, the result of too much baggage), and the remaining party mentally screaming at all times without ever losing his dimple-y smile.

This could all have gone on forever except I think a conclusion is precipitated by a revelation of JG's secret activities. JG then tries to persuade the other two that what he's doing is acceptable, which is of course how we get into significant UST territory, but does not succeed. It is (horror) and infrangement of their wedding cooperation vow. Consequently, there is a Distancing.

To be honest, I expect it to end in tragedy, but *obviously* we're not gonna do that.

JG really, really has a point in holding a grudge to the clans, and the greed of the Jin clan, as well as the general shittiness of the whole system, is made evident by some Tyrannical Act.

This prompts Moustache, Legolas and Hat to join forces again... only as convenient allies, of course, no remanent of hurt romantic feelings here, no sir.

You know how it goes from here: intense battle, one or more of the three sacrifice themselves for the other two, and eventually the source of JG's Problematic Sorcery is at least partially destroyed.

All that's left is for our three heroes to decide to involve themselves in the process of political reconstruction in the aftermath, but once they're done they will retire somewhat from society. There are no more secrets between them, no more oppressive societal strictures that JG needs to measure himself against. It's time to disengage from all that, get a farm/school/school for goats, and happily be husbands forever.

Do they f***? Gentle reader, that's entirely up to you

[tsuki-sennin]

Y'know our Revice discussion yesterday might've been cancelled, but there's always time and more careful planning, more importantly, for Momo Monday~! Mugen matsuri da ze! Zenryoku Zenkai~!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Oh, no recap this time?

-OH GAIM HE STRAIGHT UP DECKED HER GSSHG

-Tsubasa time!

-Dog man's got parkour.

-Oh crap, he dropped the shades.

-I guess one of the policemen will pick 'em up and become a target for the Anoni?

-"Who is the bird man and the pupper?" Haruka Kito wonders.

-WHOA HEY DON'T GRAB HER LIKE THAT

-DUDE WHAT

-SHE'S 17 WHAT THE HELL MAN

-I know you're trying to bullshit your way out, but what the hell

-Ah, you need life experience, huh? Just like all the best manga authors.

-Seein' movies, drinkin' tea, shootin' guns... getting very justified looks, because c'mon, please drop this

-Oh, Tsuyoshi! My man! Please, make this less uncomfortable.

-"Hmmm... this weird, shifty guy dressed in leather seems kind of familiar..."

-Remember This Face

-HARUKA C'MON EVEN TSUYOSHI KNOWS THIS SHIT'S FUCKED

-Yes, that's a very good idea, call the police!

-...er uh, wait no don't, he's important!

-HARUKA WHAT

-HELLO LHJ:GLHJ????

-"This guy is a master fugitive who probably killed like fifty bajillion people and I'm a terrified bird man!"

-Doggy bought you a treat!

-Bread! Like Aozora City Premium Tropical Melon Bread? I've always wanted to eat this kind of fancy sweet stuff.

-...by itself, huh?

-RUN BIRD MAN

-Oh, we're free to go.

-HARUKA-

-YOU CRAZY

-It's pretty crazy how you ran into two infamous figures all in the same day, huh buddy?

-Both framed for crimes uncommitted...

-MOMOI-SAN!?

-I love how Taro's just like "Oh, it's you all. ...and this random dog-like leather guy I don't know.

-Oh, a purse snatcher! Aaaaaand a cop Hitotsu-Ki! Keisatsu-Ki! As the case may be.

-Monke Time

-YOU ATE SOMEONE'S DELIVERY YOU MONSTER

-Funny Peach Man is very angry.

-Well at least you're not in jail.

-It's funny because "mongrel" means "doge".

-Is Sayama our oni cop?

-Trapped between a rock and a hard place, huh Tsubasa?

-Sayama gives big

Sayama: "Hey, civvie, get back it's dangerous!" Shinichi: "No, allow me, please~!" Sayama: "The hell are you doing-!?" Shinichi: "This a message for the criminal dirt bag named Tsubasa Inuzuka! ...you can change, bestie, and I love you :)"

HARUKA NOOOOOOOOO PHAIJHKHJHJKHLKLLKJHJKLHKJLL

-I'm sorry, this episode.

-This episode is really fucking funny I stg

-Inoue, are you trying to kill me?

-"...oh hi, Haiku Man :)"

-The gang's all here! And exactly as chaotic together as they are apart, like any good group chat.

-Aw, he's also got a lady in her life.

-Like a stray dog. He's rough and wild on the surface, but he's a good boy at heart.

-He doesn't even understand his own happiness... :(

-Oh, happy birthday! ...happy... 3rd of the month.

-NOBODY EVEN CAME TO TARO'S BIRTHDAY WHAT THE HELL

-They're all having cake together :)

-Goddamn, this is actually really touching, what the hell, why do I love this cast so much.

-OH NO I FORGOT ABOUT THE COPS

-NOOOO TSUYOSHI

-DEATH PENALTY

-AHKAB. All Hitotsu-KI Are Bastards.

-OHHH HE GOT WARPED

-Wan-derful~!

-Awoooooo~!

-Saruhara, it's not haiku time!

-Lot of call backs to... the previous scene lol

-...oh yeah, there wasn't a Ryusoul Yellow. Ohhh, right, they can only become their respective colors. That makes a lot of sense, actually. Well, I guess that means Tsuyoshi's on some king shit forever and ever!

-Don Momotaro! ...since you're here, I have a question. If you were to use the Shinkenger Gear, could you like... pick between Takeru and Kaoru's looks? I mean, I know Toei would make you become Takeru regardless, but this question is important to me.

-PARTY TIME~!

-WITH THE GODDAMN AIRHORN

-He can do that?

-I mean, I guess there's nothing saying he couldn't! But just... doing that feels kinda weird.

-Oh Zyuran... how I miss you. But I promise I'm having a great time with these clowns too!

-Man, Donbura Cafe's like... exactly where Colorful is in Zenkaitopia.

-I see... so, Don Kaito's Sentai Gears become Avataro Gears as more and more Hitotsu-Ki are defeated. ...I realize this was probably shown in one of the previous episodes, but I swear, the way it was shot kinda led me to believe that they just spawn commanded in.

-Tasty Coffee :)

-Momoi Tarou's not a complete whackadoo! :)

-THE SONOS MURDERED THE MONA LISA

-Ohhhhhhhh, Tsuyoshi's fightin'!

-Go for it, Tsuyoshi! Do your wifey proud!

-Man, this series is awesome I can't wait to see more!
