princess and yellowfang

[prince-liest]

dr prince!

I was so busy waiting for the next update of once bitten that I didn't realize until yesterday that you'd posted something else! I just read lady's first and oh my god. oh my god holy shit oh my god.

I almost cried several times, and somehow, against god's will, you've caused me to develop a crush on your fem!alastor specifically. I just want to hug her so bad. your writing never fails to be funny, sexy, emotional, and thoughtful all at the same time; I love love loved reading your note at the end about alastor's relationship with gender. your portrayal was such a perfect balance of her still being alastor while also clearly being affected by a different upbringing/socialization. ugh, I love your writing so much.

I also think this and your 666 series has proven to me that I am SO here for alastor tentatively asking for friendship and vox not being an asshole about it. I love -- and I think this is what I find appealing about hazbin in general -- seeing the worst sinners in hell find something warm and happy together in the middle of all the bleakness. lady's first and I love her, I love her not are going to be tucked into a warm place in my heart for a while, I think. maybe forever.

Aaaaa, thank you so much! Yeah, Once Bitten is going to take a minute to update because I've been on a road trip and not written anything at all for over a week, haha. But Lady's First was my mental break foray into a softer radiostatic dynamic and also because I cannot seem to unhinge my jaw from the death grip it has on putting Alastor into compulsory heterosexuality situations and all the processing required to deal with them. Yes, there IS more coming. Sorry, blorbo, you are now here for me to work through the current concept I'm hyperfixated on.

I forget if I've mentioned elsewhere, but I actually expected a lot of people to give Lady's First a pass because it's M/F and because it's a genderbend, so it's genuinely really touching to me that what possessed me in the writing of it has resonated with many others as well! I'm especially glad that the characterization came through and made sense with the specific changes I made���and big handshake on wanting soft resolutions for these literal demons from hell, hahaha. Unpicking their humanity is my favorite part of this fandom!

Anyway, thank you so much! This ask made me really happy to receive, haha

[weebiecreep]

Finally done with this one!! It was so fun to do haha sorry for bad resolution…

Originally I wanted to use Boa ‘fool’ lyrics but I couldn’t find them and I think tv girl fits them too haha

love y’all, have a great day <33

[thousand-winters]

Dear pal!! For the ask how about Lilith and Micaiah! I would also love to hear Darius if you feel up to 3 because I'm not sure I've heard your very first impression before!

Hello there!!! 💖 Gladly haha

Lilith 🖤

First impression: "Oh, my gods, she's just like me fr fr" ahaha. I knew, I knew I would love her. It wasn't even funny how much I liked her right away, but given that she was introduced via her messy relationship with Eda and her being so composed and then losing it? Oh, she was so good right away and she did not disappoint one bit.

Impression now: LIGHT OF MY HEART. She's one of those characters that are so close to my heart and ironically I don't talk much about her. But gods, she's so good, I just love how much she's allowed to still make mistakes even after her "redemption" and everything. How much she's allowed to still need support, and to learn to have fun again and find her own way to live. It's SO good, she makes me so emotional.

Favorite moment: The "stay mad" punch is so iconic, 10/10, she should punch more people.

Idea for a story: Gods, there's so much fun to do with Lilith. Off the top of my head, I think something very interesting could be done with how she goes from most awkward failed mentorshop alive with Amity to giving her spinny hugs as greeting (SO much space for parallel guilt over their past actions and their resolution to do better), ooooor potentially her first years in the Coven + how she became Head of the Coven. I think a normal amount about her saying Philip was uncomfortably familiar for the praise and compliments and how he "said what you wanted to hear". Belos was really out there manipulating her as soon as he got her there, wasn't he...

Unpopular opinion: I don't think her switch up from s1 to s2 is out of character or weird. I think she's exactly the same as Hunter in that sense, and we even get a little more time with her to see her struggling to get rid of old ideologies and not even fully succeeding because yeah, of course it's well ingrained in her even months later, she was there for years. BUT she also has room now to breathe without the constant pressure to do better or else. Plus her biggest source of stress, Eda's curse, is... not gone, but she finally did something about it and came clean, which has to be a huge weight off her shoulders. It makes sense for her to be a little more goofy, even while she was still in the coven, she still had her moments with Eda, so it's not really odd that now that she gets the chance, she actually strengtens that connection and opens herself up for more, plus finally being unburdened enough to try and do what she's always wanted.

Favorite relationship: I want to say Hooty so bad but... it has to be Eda, because of course it's Eda. The sisters ever. It doesn't help that their whole deal sort of reminds me of my sister and I. They're just SO much. The love they have for each other, but also the jealousy Eda felt. Love mixed with envy is one of the most compelling things you can do for a fictional relationship. I do not recommend in real life lmao.

Favorite headcanon: I LOVE to think about her making it her goal to restore as much of the history of the Isles as possible, given that Belos DID cause quite a lot of damage there, concealing the real history and making his own version. Typical. Now, I think she would love it both as a last "fuck you" to Belos and because she simply loves history, it would be healing and recreational for her. She can switch that up with her museum duties <3

Micaiah! 🤍

First impression: I thought she was a bit corny. I'm so sorry, Micaiah, I love you. She just comes at you with the "savior of Daein" attitude already in her and it annoyed me a little bit at first haha. I did think her light magic was pretty cool though, it's so unusual to start with one of the main cast, let alone the main lord, as a light mage (Is she the only case, actually?).

Impression now: BELOVED. I recently read a meta about how her colors get drained by Yune's through the story and it made me so sad, she's such an interesting character because she really does start so hopeful, such a symbol of faith and then... well. War. The blood contract. It all gets to her and it's fascinating seeing her struggle with her own morality and her duty. She's SO good. I need her to be happy.

Favorite moment: I'm still replaying and I'm going to do a careful playthrough after my current whirlwind to get to the second playthrough but off the top of my head, her pulling off that one strategy against the Begnion pegasus knights. You know the one. And her holding on to her plan even as Sothe gets threatened but then being desperate to save him, it's SUCH a scene.

Idea for a story: I'm so curious about her years while Sothe and her get separated. Admittedly, I don't remember if they say what happened there or what she was doing, but if they don't, I would like to know. Alternatively, how she's faring as queen of Daein because oh, gods, she never wanted that and now she's stuck there 😭 Similar to Elincia's political troubles after getting the throne of Crimea, I assume there might be trouble ahead, especially with the issue with the branded not being over, it's gonna be obvious they have a ruler who doesn't age at a normal rate sooner or later.

Unpopular opinion: I do not like what she has going on with Sothe 💔 Which is unfortunate since it seems like what is intended. It's not even just that I don't like them in a romantic sense, they clash SO much in such petty ways during the story that it was sometimes like watching your parents who definitely need a divorce but won't admit it. Slightly too painful to bear.

Favorite relationship: I love her whole deal with Pelleas. I'm so biased. It might seem like whatever, and I don't remember enough just yet to hold a proper argument but I think they have a fun dynamic, especially with him being like "oh, you're so special the spirits picked you, haha, careful so they don't think you're one of those branded tho (:". Like oof. So much going on there. Also Pelleas being so adoring of her while she feels so compelled to help him. Both of them being trapped by their perceived duty and trapped in the image people have built of them. It's tasty.

Favorite headcanon: I like to think she ends up eventually going to Stefan's branded nation eventually. I think, as much as she cares for Daein and obviously loves the people around her, she still has a big degree of feeling like an outcast, as most people like her do which... in all fairness is a point Stefan himself makes. Even if she ends up preferring to be around the beorc and laguz instead of keeping herself to one nation with only people like her, I think it would be healing if she gets to experience that for a while. I don't think Stefan is planning to pull a Goldoa anyway, so they probably wouldn't be isolated, so it would be nice.

Darius 💜

First impression: It's so sad because I don't remember too well, but I know I thought he was SO cool. I thought his abomination transformation was scary as fuck and, for that, extremely cool. I'm not the most versed in sounds but is that a bell toiling whe he turns? Regardless of what it is, it's SUCH an ominous sound right before he does that. He looked so threatening and it was just so cool to me haha. I think I thought he was really fun before that, because oh my goodness, he's so silly ahaha "I was scheduled for some ✨ me time ✨ today, so hand yourselves over before things get nasty™️". The line delivery is perfect. His design pops up so much. He's so bitchy ahaha. Amazing introduction, frankly.

Impression now: LOVE OF MY LIFE, I MUST MARRY THIS MAN IMMEDIATELY. Genuinely I could count in one hand the amount of characters I have genuinely wanted to kiss and he's one of them ahaha. Which isn't only about his beauty, he's just such a cool character. He has so many layers and he's SO good. I'm so frustrated, the fandom does not get it, why do they want to take everything he does in the worst light (I know why. The racism, sigh). Not a day goes by in which I don't lament his cut screentime, the fact he gets so many ties to the main plot and he's such a foil TO BELOS OF ALL CHARACTERS??? Insane. This man has so many interesting things going on for a character that appears less than 15 minutes and I will forever be chewing on glass over it. SO much to explore with him.

Favorite moment: I cannot do this, all of his moments are exceptionally good ahaha. It's either gonna be his "ALRIGHT, NO MORE PLAYING AROUND" while he transforms (I gotta say, he's very hot for that) OR the iconic headchop. I think it's very amazing of him to go "actually, I was wrong" without any embarrassment or hesitation and immediately change his attitude and try to do better. People do not get how difficult that is because they're focused on seeing only the worst in him, Darius is just that good.

Idea for a story: SO MANY. Shoutout to my wips still not likely to see the light of day until I get my shit together but: Darius dealing with depression after the disappearance of his mentor and Darius dealing with depression after everything is over bc, oh, surprise, my man, your mental illness doesn't go away even if you ignore it until things are finally going well, you have some baggage to deal with and some healing to do. Also I want to bad to write him in his young years with the mentor, I'm swearing by my headcanon that- oh, wait, I can use this for that option down there, nevermind ahaha. Anyway, yeah, the second idea was him with his mentor learning to do the abom transformation to get his promotion to Head Witch.

Unpopular opinion: Liking him is an unpopular opinion :[ I think he'll be an excellent father to Hunter, actually. Yes, he has no experience, but which parent does before having their kids? Plus he has something the other previous options for parents don't have, which is he has the same background as Hunter, aka, he was in the Emperor's Coven as well, for YEARS. And he also used to be a loyal believer, given that he had his mentorship, he KNOWS what is like in the coven, he knows what is like to cope with your world crumbling when you realize everything you believed in is wrong, and he has dealt with the grief of losing someone important to you to Belos. Hitting the boxes for experience in a cult, religious guilt, and grief over a loved one lost specifically to Belos. Attitude wise he's already a very good fit for Hunter's needs, but combine that with his specific life experience? I think he's absolutely perfect (of course there'll be fumbles but please, you really think any of the others wouldn't have fumbles? Sounds weird to me you think only the black man would be a bad parent but whatever <- not directed at you, friend, obviously, I'm just speaking to the proverbial wall ahahaha).

Favorite relationship: You know me, it's absolutely Hunter and him ahahaha. Eber is SO good too, in all fairness, but all the possibilities with Hunter and Darius just get to me. I'm weak to family bonds, plus the trope of "I'm not getting attached to this kid... oh, fuck" just gets to me haha.

Favorite headcanon: This has bases on canon anyway, and I have talked about it before, but I think he's the kind of person who really thrives around other people, but specifically people he trusts, even though he can definitely handle a crowd. As a result, I think he does so, so badly when he has no support. Despite being such a confident man, I feel like his confidence plummets when he has no support around, which is why it probably took him a while to even decide to start the rebellion after his mentor was gone, because he had nobody around to help him pick up the pieces of himself and he just struggled to believe in himself. Basically, I think he needs more support than it could seem, he's not the kind of person who can easily thrive on his own, he's too softhearted for that, the coven just pushed him into difficult circumstances since he was aware that someone had to do something to help and there was nobody but him who stood a chance at the time.

Thanks for the question!!! From this ask game

[boxfullaturtles]

For the fake title ask game: "Laughing through your crocodile tears" (I'm picking random song lyrics lol)

Okay this one gave me some trouble.

Initially was thinking post-movie or post-S2 finale. Everyone saying they're fine, making excuses for odd behaviors, smiling and pretending everything's all right and they can go back to normal. But eventually the cracks start to show and it's just a matter of who falls apart first.

But then I had a really mean idea. Time to throw Leo under the bus again. Sorry Leo. Leo's a liar, right. He lies easily, not out of maliciousness, but more like because he's two steps down from a con artist sometimes. He might not be the most charismatic but he knows how to lay on the bullshit. So opposite of one those "cursed to only tell the truth" tropes. Leo can only answer in LIES. And as these things tend to go, it's not that big of a deal at first. "Leo, do you wanna play some video games?" "With you? No way." "Leo, do you want the last slice of pizza?" "Nah, I'm not hungry." And it's not hard to put together that something's wrong with Leo. Those boys are stupid sometimes but they're not that stupid. "Leo, are you cursed?" "Whhaaattt? Pfff, no! Me? Cursed? I would never be cursed." "Yeah, he's definitely cursed." "Am not! You can't prove it!" "Leo, do you like Jupiter Jim?" "Uhg, no! They're the worst movies ever!" "...bro, you're totally cursed."

It's all funny haha make Leo say stupid stuff. But then it gets...bad. Then it escalates, as these things tend to.

He can't communicate with his team during a fight. Everything he says is a lie, an opposite, a trick. It ends up getting them hurt. He ends up insulting Donnie's tech. Badly. And it's...it's really hurtful. And Donnie logically knows that Leo didn't mean it because it's the curse talking. But...hearing that from his brother? Logical doesn't really hold a candle to hurt feelings. Mikey tries to help and get Leo to talk about how he really feels. And it works. Kind of. Actually it backfires, in a way. Leo ends up screaming his insecurities and self-loathing for everyone to hear.

And then, because what he really wants to do is cry. He laughs instead. Because why not top everything off by his own body betraying him. He wants to run so he stays put. He wants to hide in his shell but he can't move. He's hungry but he can't eat. Tired but he can't sleep. And everything that spills out of him is a lie. And if he tries to lie, tries to do the opposite of what he wants to do, tries to trick the curse into working for him, nothing happens. He's lost complete control of everything that he is. And the lines start to blur. He starts questioning where the curse ends and where Leo begins. Is he still cursed? Is he still lying? What if he's telling the truth now? It's messing with his head and he can't sleep and he's starving and his body aches because he wants to rest, so he just keeps moving, pacing the lair until Raph grabs him and holds him close because Leo's feet have been worn bloody and he's gasping for air and trembling and scared. But he can only laugh and tell them he's fine, he doesn't need help, he'll be fine. They know it's a lie, but he's still saying it with the smarmy grin of his and it's so Leo of him to do that. But it's not Leo.

And now they have to find a way to break the curse before Leo's body completely gives out on him, before the curse ends up killing him.

I don't have a resolution, I just wanna put Leo through the ringer. :) Maybe the Mystic Library has the answer? Find the right book, perform the right ritual, that whole shebang. Maybe they gotta make a deal with Big Mama? But that's a whole other can of worms. Maybe Hypno's got the answer, that would be interesting to play with. There would be a happy ending, of course, I'm not going to let Leo die like that. But it would be a terrifying and harrowing experience for everyone.

Greetings, Teq. Honestly, I've been an avid follower of you since 2021, 2022 (?) after discovering your prologue for Delusion Puppets which involves DiluChi. Not much of a fan of the ship back then but I'm a sucker for Tartaglia's complex character and I learned to include your crafts in my preferences eventually. You know how to capture a certain sentiment with your arts—your techniques are very prominent, and your dialogues are remarkable despite not having English as your primary language. I'm saying, out of all the artists that I've been looking up to, you're my most anticipated one. You never fail to convey your ideas and they're greatly felt by your followers more than what you think. Your artworks are very compelling and I always find myself deeply drawn to it. I'm certain many have felt the same, hence, as to why I choose to send my message this way.

You've been a great inspiration. For years, I've been watching all the socials you might have—X, IG, FB, Tumblr, and even on BlueSky recently. And I am really glad you're still crafting actively. I would love to purchase your merches in the future but it'll definitely take long years as I am still in the last bits of my teenage years with crumbled bills of small amounts in my pocket, haha.

Moving on, I wish you'll continue to inspire many. There's just really something about your art that captivates me on a personal level. Or perhaps, it was the complete understanding of what you've wanted to express as I am also an artist of some sort, though I lean more to literature. But for the next year, one of my resolutions is to pick up my skills in art and to follow the same path as you. I want my love for art to translate in many languages as well. So it'll be a great honor to know how you've started your art journey. The key points to keep in mind, the discovery of one's own personal artstyle. I want to know how you managed to be where you are now.

Either way, I really love your works. And I am sorry if this has gotten lengthy, haha. Lovelots, I just really admire you as a unique artist. Have a great day ahead as I am always wishing you well. Please continue to feed us.

Hi! Thank you so much for the message. Reading it evoked so many thoughts in me, that I was overwhelmed with emotions. I had to think about what I should write back to because I wanted to give you my best answer, something that's worthwhile to read, just like yours.

Having known that you've watched my journey from the very beginning, I can share with you so many things that I could not do with others. I believe that life is about changing, whether it is a person's personality, or changing of an era, whether it's bad, or good. But within changes, there is something that remains the same. I've changed a lot from the beginning of this. There were up and down times, each period affected my work so evidently. The only thing that remained the same all this time was my desire to inspire and create. And I couldn't have done it without everyone's support. Every time that I started to doubt myself, someone would appear to tell me that my effort wasn't pointless, there's a meaning in what I do. I'm glad that this time it was you. :)

When I first started art, it was simply because I found them pretty. There was something underlying these pictures, but I couldn't notice it. Until a particular moment.

The painting was a historical piece, you can barely make out the image, but you can feel so many emotions within it. It was never just about the color and the ink, it was about the story behind it, the traces of humanity, and the mind of an artist. This painting greatly influenced my works and set the core element of my art which is the emotions and therefore encouraged my mind to create stories. My friend used to tell me, you are better off as a writer than an artist. If only I had studied more, maybe I could do both haha I have so many stories to tell! They just keep coming, and I'm not drawing fast enough! This is why most of my works are sketches xD Focusing on getting all the ideas out actually created a "stagnant" period in my life. You have known me within that time, somewhere between 2021 to 2022. I aimed to be an artist and to express myself better, I can't just only depend on the feeling.

"There are standards! Technique, composition, color, even subject. So, if you're suggesting that rotted side of meat is art, much less good art, then what are we going to learn?" _ Mona Lisa Smile (2003)

That is what I thought, but then again, 2022 was such a depressing time for me. That's why my works around this time have a sorrowful vibe and a rough feeling of pain and hopelessness. 2023 was when I stepped onto a better stage of my life, and I started to strive for changes and growth. I challenged myself with the first and only fully grayscale comic "Chromatic Aberration". A comic with the vibe of Mid-century paintings. I did so many environmental lighting and nature studies for this, just to capture the correct mood for each season depicted in the story. Clothing too, was a highlight of Chromatic Aberration. Then we come to Somnolence, my latest artbook for 2024. Somnolence focuses on the experience and the connection between the character's reality and the reader's reality. The highlight of the book is the cinematic artwork, which I've spent months preparing and honed my skills by taking commission works.

I'm happy to hear that you have decided to pick up art. ^^ I hope that it will be an eventful journey for you! What we do, creating foods for the soul is not always easy, but definitely worthwhile.

I have attached my work through the years below to show you how I have changed over time.

Thank you so much, I hope we can continue to walk this path together for as long as it lasts!

Hi, just being curious, what do you think is the greatest difficulty you’ve faced carrying out the storyline in your ask blogs (aside from potential burnout)?

Is there any time where the asks were not going towards the direction where you’d want them to go, and how did you steer the story back on track?

Do you have any techniques giving out clues or keeping the pace of the ask blog?

[sorry these are a lot. Of questions. It’s just, it’s amazing how you are able to run multiple successful askblogs, and I’m curious how you did it]

OOOH THESE ARE SOME INTERESTING QUESTIONS! really pickin at my old noggin here...

id say probably the most difficult part is like... ok through my tenure ive obviously had some physically taxing moments, moments of people being way too mean, people being way too NICE, people complaining that every single member of a giant ensemble cast doesnt get the exact same amount of screentime etc etc, but id honestly say the hardest part is just. making the medium Work. when i run an ask blog like this, im basically asking people to drive the story forward with no promise of whether their choices even like. Matter. if youre not tethered enough to your asks, it can feel like youre just asking people to put a coin in the slot and letting the story play for another page. you have to play this balancing act of wanting to tell the story you want to tell while also needing peoples' help to get there. thats why an engaging story and endearing characters are so important. i wound up telling people here on my main that y2k would end with a good ending specifically because i got people concerned i genuinely would end it with a Bad End, but still even knowing that people would tune in. so its like. i always have to make sure its Engaging enough. for people to be willing to play this game with me at all. the hardest part of fishing is getting the fish to bite yk.

2. YES ALL THE TIME LOLLLL a lot of the time i will end up either picking an ask from before the topic came up and answer that one, or plant my own decoy ask. basically jingling keys at people HJSSKHASGK. but sometimes even that doesnt work! benrey in y2k has a very touchy complex about his helmet specifically because I DIDNT HAVE SPRITES WITH HIS HAIR. and i thought that his hair was kinda boring compared to what people were probably expecting (its very short and simple i draw his hair like bootleg barney) so i ended up having to answer that little thread by having an explosion and then presenting my own resolution (gordon calm him down :)) i like to think ive gotten better at key jingling though haha. usually the two types of key jingling topics i find work best are either little plot teases or a 'now back to what we were doing' ask, but if you dont want things to advance quite yet, i usually use questions that will elaborate on a character trait or introduce a new character fact

3. dont be me. /j ok actually the thing about this specific medium is like. people will send me asks guessing my twists WAAAAY early on but the thing is i can just. choose not to answer them. hehe. id personally pay attention to how often people are guessing your twists though because like. its BOUND to happen if you lay out clues some people will pick up on them. if theres not a lot of people guessing, then you can lean more into the big sting reveals of like 'NOOOOBODY EXPECTED THIS' but when a lot of people have guessed the twist, i usually make sure to present it in a way that doesnt imply that there was nobody on the right trail or that people got bamboozled. as for the clues themselves. well im about to figure that out myself again! i have some clues i need to lay in bmfe!! dont get discouraged if people pick up on what you thought was really subtle, cos like. literal day 1 of episode 3 someone literally made a powerpoint saying 'LEADING LIGHT IS BACK' and i was like ok i was just on my first crumb DAMN. as for pacing, it doesnt matter if you get the blog done in one month or one year- what does matter is PLANNING. if you know what your goal is, what your landmarks and checkpoints are, youll be able to stagger stuff successfully no matter the length. some of the best-recieved parts of y2kvr were parts i went into the session going 'this is my goal for today' for. the goals dont even have to big, it could even be something as small as like 'get from place a to place b'

SORRY THIS GOT LONG but ty for the question! reflecting on my process is interesting :]

[rinelica]

i have really enjoyed your yuki and mai analysis but because tumblr likes to mess up image resolution a lot of the smaller text was quite hard or even impossible to read on much of it

id quite like to actually read all of it because i really enjoyed what i could read. all the art are very cute aswell. your work is really fantastic.

Thank you very much!! Ah, this really is what I was scared of... I'll drop here everything that might be hard to read, hope it'll help :

Original post :

ZUN's comment :

In case the pic still is unreadable, here's the link to the wiki page, use the search tool on this page by typing "Yuki" to find the ask faster :

Part I :

Shinki : "I am the god of Makai. Therefore, little Yumeko isn't a golem or anything like that, she's an ordinary Makai person."

PCB phantasm stage, Sakuya : "Hell is not as scary as Makai. Oni, compared to devils, are nothing at all."

IN profiles, Remilia : Devils, including vampires, are a race unconditionally hated by both humans and youkai. That's because all these girls are self-centered and selfish. (note : Reimu's MS ending confirms that)

MS, Marisa

Shinki : "Do you think bogus human magic can stand up to me?"

Marisa : "Isn't calling it "bogus" a loser excuse?"

Shinki : "Hmph, how impudent!! I'll show you real magic."

Marisa : "Oh, I'm so happy ♥"

UFO, Sanae B

Shou : "Makai is, with such a terrible demonic atmosphere, a world unsuitable for most living things. However, some youkai train there and humans can learn magic."

I wonder what Alice told to Akyuu (speculation) :

Akyuu : "So what kind of magician are you?"

Alice : "Oh I just learned magic as a kid."

Akyuu : "Ah, that makes you a human magician!"

Alice : "... Haha, yes..." Better not scare Gensokyo's humans off...

Part II/

Yuki : "You bastaaard! You bastard, how dare you!! I'm serious now!!"

Before fight :

Mai : ......?

Yuki : We'll be your opponents ♥

Yuuka : I see, two at once. Sounds fun ♥

Yuki : Whether it'll be fun depends of your skills ♥ Of course I want it to be fun.

Yuuka : Oh my ♥ Go on, give it a try.

After fight :

Yuuka : Thank you ♥ It was fun in its own way.

Yuki : Who exactly are you...

Yuuka : I ended up pretty far into Makai. I wonder how long the way still is.

Yuki : Right here is...

Left :

-> shows no care about your rampage or you reaching Shinki

-> simple bullets

*taunts*

->

just want to have "fun" (beat people up)

"the stronger the enemy is, the longer the fight will last, the funnier it'll be" mentality

as a result, she lacks seriousness

-only gets mad when she takes things personally (her ego or Mai hurted)->

Right :

-> impulsive, act before thinking

-> very passionate about what she cares

->

but is quick to forgive if showed some respect (Yuuka)

Part III

Mai : "... Not bad, you."

Protag : "!?"

Mai : "Now that the burden is gone, I can finally be serious. And this time, I'll definitely beat you bastard!!"

Marisa = magician. average in Makai.

Reimu = weird human on a flying turtle.

Yuuka = what???

Yuki : "Welcome, guest from another world ♥"

Mai : "......!"

Yuki : "I will guide you to a world where you shall rest for eternity ♥"

(totally a spirit who should in theory be able to deal some spiritual damages ->)

Mima : "Alas, that's the world I come from..."

Mai : "...!? I see, is that so..."

Mima : "Therefore, I will on the contrary be the one who'll take you there."

Mai : "Yuki, stop saying nonsense, I'll beat her..."

Mima : "You sure look eager to go."

Yuki : "How irritating! Mai, let's beat her!!"

Mai : "Understood... ♥"

Later...

Mima : "As promised, I'll guide you to the other world."

Yuki : "Mercyyy"

Mima : "But the other miss is waiting for youuu ♥"

(Yuki cries)

Mai's only sentence unique to Mima's scenario has nothing to do with death :

Mima : "Let's leave the weaklings alone."

Mai : "That's super frustratiiing!"

Left :

-> doesn't talk much

-> at least shows concern about you trying to reach Shinki (Reimu script)

->

lets Yuki do whatever she wants

cautious

somewhat analyses the situation

-"I can finally be serious"=> sounds like she, unlike Yuki, would rather be serious from the start->

Right :

-> can actually be pretty talkative

-> is salty when Yuki's plan backfires

->

sounds saltier toward you

is she only quiet against new foes?

Part IV

Speculation on why they weren't serious :

Mai : "It sounds serious... Maybe we should go all out this time."

Yuki : "Nooo, there's barely any intruder who manages to go this far!" It's been ages!

Mai : "...... fine."

I'm so sorry if you're tired of getting Keitor AU's, and if that's the case than you can simply ignore this one. But I had a thought and nobody to talk about it with, and I figured your blog would be an okay place to share it?

Neighbors AU where they're both pre-teens/teenagers, but Lotor has got maybe three years on Keith. Keith has the maddest, most obvious puppy crush on Lotor. Lotor finds it awfully cute, but Keith is just a little kid compared to him at this stage, so Lotor is very careful not to cross the line between being friendly and giving false hope.

When Lotor's home life starts getting worse, though, their relationship changes from pleasant but distant neighbors to actual friends. He leaves the house one day to escape the madness that hides behind his closed doors and realizes that Keith must have heard some of the shouting because he looks pretty upset over in his yard - and not embarrassed-upset but bad-flashbacks upset. Lotor knows the rumors about Keith, that he'd been in the foster system for a while and that's why he only just moved in with his mom (maybe Tex died when Krolia was serving time in prison or something, so when she got out it took her a while to track down her son).

Feeling bad about upsetting Keith, Lotor jumps the fence and makes his way over to Keith to apologize. Keith, of course, is blushing and tripping over his words and can barely meet Lotor's eye for more than three seconds, but eventually they start having an actual conversation about their own experiences. It's cathartic for Lotor to have someone to talk to about this stuff, since he keeps it under such tight wraps in public, and while the galra girls all have their own problems at home none of them have had to deal with actual abuse (not that either he or Keith use the word) and don't REALLY get it. Not the way Keith does.

They become friends after that, and eventually best friends as the years go by. As they grow older, graduating high school and attending college and stuff, the age gap becomes less and less significant, so Lotor has to suffer through the stages of "My best friend used to have a crush on me that's so awkward, haha" to "dang son that's a glow-up" to "I think I'm in love with my best friend but he's not in love with me anymore, did I miss my shot?" to of course a happy resolution for the boys.

I'll never be tired of getting keitor aus but I am //begging// the lot of you to actually write and post all these wonderful ideas you keep having because I have a mighty need 🙏

[crepuscularqueens]

marvel (mostly sambucky but i've played around with other pairings), the magicians (penntin, queliot, wickoff), ofmd, and one black sails fic (despite that being my main fandom i guess lmao, it's so hard to write for because i can't make it better. i just have to make it worse. and boy do i have plans to make it Worse.) (also i do have an rnm fic, almost forgot about that! i would love to write more i just need the inspiration and motivation to hit at the same time lmao)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

he kisses me softly to wake me up (by a wild amount, which i think was just luck of timing with that fandom blowing up overnight) flowers for the gentleman (first published sambucky fic. looking back on it it's like... cute but could be better. natasha is in it though) held by you (felled by you) (my fav of the ofmd fics i put up, personally) what you wanted (first of my tfatws series that accompanied the show. literally wrote each fic as the episodes came out, it was so fun and idk how tf i kept up with it) hear my name in your mouth and i'm done for (hahaha. yeah.)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

i love responding to comments hehehe! bc i love getting responses when i comment on other author's fics idk it just feels so fun! and when you notice the same people commenting on your fics idk it's just. holding hands with all of you love you sm <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

omg uhhhh jinx i think mine also be a samsteve one lol. stuck in the bed where we lie bc i love writing angst but i usually resolve it? but they're my favorite tragedy forever.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

hmmm i guess after it all calms down? resolution of my tfatws series

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not on anything that's still up teehee <3

it's mainly what i write haha oops

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

crossover is when there are characters from two separate medias in one fic right? not like taking characters from one universe and putting them in the other? if it's the first then... no not anymore. no further questions.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of (i'm not like... overly concerned by the idea)

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

someone once translated a teen wolf fic i wrote into russain

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

i am so so bad at picking favorites, but if you want to go by what i have the most fics and wips for it would be sambucky

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i want to finish shores begging for big moons so badly im so sorry to everyone because. it was so so fun to write! and i had this big grand plan and knew how it would all work out and then.... i hit a wall and now it's been years and i cry for her every day. i could save her! i could do it! but i also need to reread it bc i can't remember the details anymore lmao. it's a daunting task.

16. What are your writing strengths?

i think like... rhythm if that makes sense? like i get into a groove of this is what is happening, here are the beats, this is the action and this is the dialogue and it flows so nicely and has a good rhythm to it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

focusing. i get distracted soooo easily, what is that all about haha. ha.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i love seeing it in fic! i'm always scared to include it bc i don't want to mess anything up, so i usually have it from another character's POV and that they don't know what's being said. which is a cop out, i know. i should probably be better about looking into translations!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

harry potter (i know. there is no need to talk about it)

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

how do i choose! tbh it's a tie between i bit the fruit and holy water. don't read into that.

absolute no pressure tags for @dr-lizortecho @unwholesome-gay @verdanthoney @nymhciv !

[ghoulangerlee]

Ohhhhh my god I feel you on this whole bc shot thing. I've been on it for a little over two years because I'm trans and getting my period was so bad for my emotional wellbeing I had to do something. I didn't wand an IUD, and I forget to take my medication a lot so the pill wasn't ideal. I was told by two different obgyns that they wouldn't consider removing the uterus becsuse at the time I was only 21 and ""What if you chsnge your mind!!!"" 🙄🙄🙄🙄 so I really dint have a whole lot of options.

On one hand I like not having to worry about the whole thing for 10/11 weeks at a time but on the other hand I also really like not having feeble bones! I've been taking calcium supplements but the pills are huge and I worry it isn't covering the issue entirely. I don't get enough calcium to begin with becsuse I can't drink milk and stuff, so I worry that it's a bandage on a knife wound so to speak.

Last time I was at the clinic for my shot I raised the issue again and the doctor there was like "wait you're literally trans and have no plans for children why the hell don't we just get rid of it????" And I'm just sitting there like why the fuck did the last two people I see not give me this option!?

Anyways I need to discuss the idea more with her but oh oh to get this fucking thing out of me....oh to dream....

Sorry rambling in your asks but this sucks and I sure hope we both get the cool fun and fresh resolution :)

oh my god anon, i feel you. i've been on it for...almost 5 years now? I think around August 2019 is when I started it finally. It was unfortunately the only option we could find for me. I actually can't have any bc that has actual estrogen in it because of my high blood pressure and the family history of blood clots. And like, at first it was fine and dandy! I was okay with it because after 7 weeks of a heavy cycle I was so exhausted and just ready for it to be over. And it's been gone! pretty regularly for the last several years.

Sometimes if I'm incredibly stressed it will sneak up on me but it's like, leagues better than it was. Max 3 days and barely anything at all. So, very manageable for someone who y'know. had it much worse (to the point it would cause my iron to drop significantly all the time).

I hate obgyns who refuse to do things because "you might regret it later on" like, no actually I think I'll regret having this thing inside my body I don't intend to use and having to stay on the shot for the rest of my life. I'm in a same-sex relationship, I don't ever intend to physically carry a child, I just want the thing gone lmao. I've told obgyns that in the past and yet they still insisted on telling me that I might "regret" it.

So, my surgeon did mention that viactiv is a good supplement, which is apparently a chocolate calcium chew haha. My biggest concern is that I have osteoarthritis and being over 30 now, my bone density doesn't come back as fast as it does for someone in their 20s. My doctor is also concerned about it too. I mean like also the weight gain is terrible too, like holy shit it's been the worst (strong ass bc, strong ass side effects I GUESS)

THOUGH APPARENTLY there is a bone density therapy that they can do which will help with keeping your bones strong. I didn't know about it and no one ever thought to mention it to me when they started talking about my bone density lmao. Normal Calcium supplements make me extremely nauseous and I can't take them, so I just stopped lmao.

And I think from there, that's when I sort of decided I wanted to look into getting rid of my uterus for good. Like, I don't plan to have kids, I don't need it. Why should I continue this shot, why should I keep putting myself through this.

Also, idk if you've experienced it, or if its just because I been on it for so long or if it's something else entirely, but in place of the period I just get cramps :) really bad ones :) it's great and what I've always wanted from bc haha.

honestly that's a good doctor, why haven't they suggested it sooner? Literally the surgeon I'm seeing is, ironically, the first obgyn I saw when I switched insurances and go to where I go now, and from the beginning she was like "you're in a monogamous same-sex relationship whenever you want the surgery we can just take care of that" and idk I wasn't in the right place then, I think, to consider it.

yeah it's a long process from my understanding, we're building a case right now, as my surgeon called it, gonna have some imaging stuff done, a few more tests and then we'll set the date and just. remove it. thankfully, no early menopause for me (ironically the One Thing i was most worried about?? I don't know, I've got so much going on, I didn't want to even consider dealing with menopause bc guess what the treatment for that is-- the same damn shot I'm trying to escape lmao) ANON!!! I wish the best for both of us!!! Let me know how things go!! (if you're comfortable!!)

"Betrayal" - A Flash Fiction

Another post woooo!!!! Hope you guys will enjoy!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have never felt so betrayed in my life. It’s January 1, the beginning of a New Year and you decide to do this to me? I don’t understand you, but then again, I never understood you from the beginning even when we were so close. 

Haha…Making amends to everyone? Everyone but me? Don’t you find that heartless? I was the first person to make you feel something, the first person to comfort you and tell you that your feelings are valid, the first person to hear your problems until the end, the first person to check up on you, yet you don’t try and make amends with me? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!

‘New Year, New Me’, you probably thought, but I don’t think you’ll ever change if you continue to act like this around me, for me, I think ‘New year, New issues!’, I can practically smell the problems I have to face later on in this year. We used to be so close but now…you act like I’m a complete stranger as if you didn’t tell me all your worries every night, as if you didn’t tell me how your day went, as if we’ve never laughed together, as if we never spent hours talking together, as if we never had something. 

Good for you that you’re trying to fulfill your New Year’s resolution but I still see you the same way, the same heartless person who left me without a proper goodbye. I tried to fix that, to fix what we lost,  to fix our friendship, but then you just wouldn’t let me and left me alone, again. Did you even care about me the same way I cared about you?

I probably sound jealous, bitter, or even resentful but I don’t care. I know I deserve an explanation on why you chose to act like this after everything I did for you. I deserve a proper explanation as to why you chose to act like we never had history. I deserved better.

I’m glad my friends told me all about what you did, I’ve never felt so upset before. It’s the first day of the year and you brought me this, thank you! Gee, this might just be another eventful year for me. I feel so betrayed that you did this to me. I don’t blame you if you dislike me, I admit that I have acted immaturely in the past and I’m sorry for that, but I don’t understand why you did this even when we were still on good terms, it doesn’t make any sense at all.

Are you happy with where you stand in life right now? I know I am, I have been so much better, so much happier without you but I still care about you because I still think of you as a good friend. Are you happy with a new year without me? I still remember when you were terrified of the future, terrified of what may or may not happen but look at you now, on bad terms with probably the only person who would comfort you and side with you.

Gosh, what did I do to make you treat me like this? Did I hurt you and I didn’t know? Do your friends dislike me? I don’t care what reason you may bring up, I don’t care if it will hurt me a lot, but I deserve an explanation. I deserve to know why you betrayed me like this.

I should stop thinking about this, it’s the first day of the new year and I don’t want or like this negative energy you’re giving me. I should move on and ignore you the same way you ignore me. After all, you did betray me. Who knows what you might do next.

[cookinguptales]

hi! could i have a relationship/compatibility reading? any deck ❤️🐉

Sure thing! I used what's probably my favorite deck, The Floriography Tarot. I backed the Kickstarter a thousand years ago (so I paid... considerably less than what they go for now) and it's become a method of tarot acquisition that I really love haha.

(Seven of Cups, Four of Wands, Two of Swords)

I'll have to admit, I laughed a little bit looking at this spread.

This spread is, to put it very bluntly, telling you to shit or get off the pot. There's almost something slightly frustrated about it. But I do think that the outlook here is ultimately good.

To start with, we have the Seven of Cups. This is one of those very dreamy cards, but not necessarily in a good way. There's an air here that you're romanticizing ideas without necessarily following through with anything. This is a person who has options or opportunities in front of them but who is so caught up in thinking about them that they're not taking them.

This card is about... I don't know, making New Year's Resolutions and never following through. It's about daydreaming about a trip you never take. Or, in this situation, it could be about romanticizing a relationship but never taking the plunge.

It's a card about dithering so much over the idea of a thing that they never allow themselves to embrace the reality of it. It's dreamy, but also a little bit... cowardly sounds too cruel, but... there's something avoidant about it sometimes. Like it's safer to dream about something than really try it out.

This card is cautioning against that. It's saying that the real version of what you're dreaming about may be hard, but that doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. It's saying that avoiding making a decision might feel comfortable, but it's an empty comfort in the end.

It is, in other words, telling you to pull your head out of the clouds, examine your actual options with a level head, and make a serious decision about what you really want... and then go for it.

The Two of Swords has a very similar vibe to it. There's less dreaming in this one, and more... worry, I'd say. You're still caught between two choices. Maybe both feel good. Maybe both feel bad. You're avoiding choosing between the two because choosing is hard and it's scary and sometimes it even hurts. But this card is telling you that nevertheless, you can't just sit here forever.

(Now might be the time to mention that I also accidentally drew The Hanged Man the first time I tried to do this spread (sorry, I'm clumsy lmao) and that card also has a very similar vibe of feeling stuck and needing to think things through!)

The Two of Swords acknowledges that your choice is difficult and that avoidance is easy, but it also wants you to know that this situation will not progress until you progress it. No one else is going to choose for you, and it's not healthy to keep avoiding a choice here.

So now you might be thinking... okay, I get it! I need to stop avoiding my decision here and just do it! But you still haven't told me about compatibility! What do I choose?

Now... I can't tell you what to choose. You really do need to look within and weigh your options and figure this out yourself. And then, I cannot stress this enough, you need to pull together all your courage and jump.

But I can tell you about the last card.

Truthfully, cards about decisions, like twos, often come with advice to draw more cards to help you make that decision. Thankfully, we already have one more card here.

The Four of Wands is a very happy card. It's a card about family and togetherness and overall a sense of home. It's always nice to see it this time of year, when so many cultures are celebrating holidays that bring loved ones together.

In a situation like this... I think there are really two ways to look at this card. The first option is to say, well, I have a support system. I have a family, I have friends, I have people who love me and want what's best for me. I should talk to them about what I'm feeling and maybe they can help me make a decision.

The other way to look at this, though... Look, when I talk about tarot, I always say that it's like using a coin flip to make a decision. The result of the flip doesn't matter -- what matters is which result you found yourself rooting for as the coin was in the air. Tarot is the same way. The cards themselves matter a lot less than what you feel about them as you hear your reading. It can help you make sense of your own feelings.

That's really my advice right now. This last card is a depiction of home. Of family. Of the people who love you and the good times you have with them.

You're asking me about compatibility, so I'll ask you this in return -- does this person you're thinking about make you feel like that? Can you imagine celebrating a special occasion with them? Can you imagine them being part of your intimate, joyful gatherings?

Do they feel like home?

When you see a card like this, does it make you feel wistful or uneasy? Do you think, "Yes, I want to have this person in my life like this. I want to feel at home with them. I feel like this card is a good omen for that." or do you think, "No, I don't think that would work. I can't envision them in a situation like this. I think this card is telling me to retreat to my loved ones right now."

When you think of "home" and this person, do you think about being home with them or going home to talk to your family about your mixed feelings? In your fantasies, are they already in your house or are you subconsciously keeping them out?

Home is a kind idea, and I think we're all pursuing our own versions of it. I know you're feeling really conflicted right now, but I think you just really need to think about what you want, what you need, and whether you feel like this person can give it to you.

And, maybe more importantly, if you're still too scared to give it in return.

Have courage, friend, and make the choice that your subconscious is telling you to make.

Hey Prince

This is me Pui from Twitter.(@ificouldLYBiw)

I want to know The Prince in good faith forever What kind of personality do you think he will have? (Take your opinion.)

Btw Anyway, if my question made you feel bad, I so sorry-

Forgot this tumblr existed, haha!

Hi Pui. I have thought about this question a fair bit, namely when writing the Prince in my Good Faith Forever interpretation.

I think of the Prince from the Good Faith Forever Live Show and my Good Faith Forever interpretation as two different… people, I guess you could say.

The Prince, in the Good Faith Forever show and lore, has to go through atonement of faith. He is granted visions and objects along the way. Daedalus’s pendant that grants him a second chance. The nirvana flower. A vision from the Queen that opens his soul to terror. The powers of lightning strikes and cloning six facsimiles of himself, and perhaps more…

Good Faith Forever Prince within the show strikes me as the more typical interpretation of a hero. That is what he is called, after all. He reflects the hero’s journey, from the call to action to resolution. What strikes me as interesting, though, is that he is constantly reminiscent of the Dischead character, the God of the Good Faith universe through promotional material. And the snippet of information we get about the Hero’s costume says that he is more of an ideal than a person.

To me, that Prince is a more triumphant, epic version. More hopeful, more maniac, in a way, the euphoric kind of mania. Like how everyone portrays a Hero, this Prince takes every trial with stride. And vague too. Vague in his origins, vague in how he got here, vague in what his actual goals are in the end. I remember you saying before that you think the Prince would create a new world. I like that idea.

My Good Faith Forever interpretation of the Prince is heavily more different than the epic portrayal within the actual live show. And by that, I mean he is very troubled, I guess you could say. I explored the implications of his powers granted in the original Good Faith Forever show lore, and explored how it would affect his state personally. This Prince is imperfect, he is struggling with becoming the hero everyone so adores. The dehumanization of him takes a toll on his mentality. He wanted a state of power like this in his past, but now he resents it. He resents it so much. He is far past the point where he can undo his journey, undo the changes he brought to himself.

I did not know if you were asking about my interpretation of the Prince’s personality from the live show, or from my interpretation and stories. So I give you both.

Sorry for the late response. I hope this is satisfactory.

[wisteria-blooms]

Hii!! I recently left you a comment on AO3, but I figured I'd move over here to contact you again. I just wanted to tell you that I haven't stopped thinking about your Bill fic basically all day 😅 I've really come to appreciate it more and more as I've been mulling it over. It really feels like you had all your bases covered and everything came together in a satisfying way.

I just wanted to ask you about your process for writing it. Did you map out the plot before you started writing, or did you go chapter by chapter? Also I'm just generally interested in how you came up with some of the details if you're happy to share here or dms i dont mind? (I'm SO sorry I'm fangirling a bit here 😅 It's just your perspective on old tropes is so refreshing i feel like this is what it was like in the old days of the fandom 🤩🤩🤩)

Cue that TikTok sound: "Oh my goodness, I love this question."

Okay, so I'm happy to discuss any detail so feel free to interrogate but some of them I came up on the fly and won't be able to remember why. The idea/trope was inspired by the song 18 - Anarbor. I really took these lyrics to heart lol:

So if you wanna piss off your parents Date me to scare them Show them you're all grown up If long hair and tattoos are what attract you Baby then you're in luck

At the time, I only wrote for Fred or George, but it just wouldn't make sense y'know. Bill was older, cooler, and would be so much worse (in a good way) for the plot. I'd never written a Malfoy reader before, but the Malfoys were exceptional placeholders for the snobby, uppity family. And canonically, there's bad blood between the two families, so it was perfect.

So, going in, I only anticipated this to be a 10k one shot. That's why the first two/three chapters are so short. And then the last chapter is 8k words lol. I was trying to steer away from super long and flowery paragraphs and go for sweet and succinct but it didn't work haha.

When I started, I'd only written chapter 1, 2, and tidbits of that your-room-is-flooded scene in Nice. I knew that family dynamic was always going to be a thing, so it would have to be resolved eventually. I wanted Lucius to be the hard-hitter and cause the drama, whereas Narcissa was softer, eventually accepting the situation ("BY THE WAY, ARE YOU ON BIRTH CONTROL?"). As for Draco, I know all siblings have their rough patches, so I wanted to show that he's always had a soft spot for Y/N.

I remember just writing Chapter 4 and 5 on the fly. Like, Chapter 5 (the dinner scene) was my favourite to write/re-read. I still can't believe I wrote it because I'm not great with action, dialogue, and humour. And knowing Lucius wouldn't go down without a fight, I must've... created the move-in with Fred and George, and have Bill pull away at the same time. I think this falls in love with a typical plot, like conflict #1, resolution, conflict #2, etc... (throwback to middle school English class).

The Madame Millicent book really served no purpose initially. Then, I was like, let's have Bill find it to show that Y/N can be pervy too LMAO.

Y/N's extended family was also created near the end. I think thinking of characters as caricatures really helped me. Uncle Theo was Lucius on steroids, Genevieve and Claude as Y/N and Draco on steroids, Charlotte and Clara as wispy blonde maniac pixie dream girls, etc. It also helped show that Y/N and Draco really loved and supported each other when contrasted with other family members who actually didn't care much for them.

I'm the worst with finishing a series, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to give this a proper ending, but people leaving sweet comments, reblogging, asking to be added to the tag list really gave me that push to write a conclusion.

But yeah, if there's anything you'd like to know, please ask!! I'm so happy you enjoyed it so much and because of people like you, I end up wanting to write more hahahaha. 💓

A3! Act 2 Thoughts (4) | Reread

Man. THE CHANGE IN HIS DEMEANOR when he saw it’s about Mankai Company.

I’m gonna fucking strangle you to death, you piece of shit.

Yuki you are incredible and immensely strong and I am sorry you’ve had to learn how to be that way.

I am so glad Muku is holding him because I can’t.

Everyone indeed, Misumi, you are so correct.

Tenma you have an excellent point but I am BEGGING you to say it nicely.

I wanna see him and Itaru nerd out.

KAZU YOU GO! GO GET THOSE GENUINE BUDS! (Misumi already is one)

Also, haha. Buds … flower buds … nice.

I’m glad they spared us the Igawa sprite here because … tbh he’s hot and I would not have the emotional capacity to handle it.

Well played, Tenma.

I like how we kinda get it through the crumbs here that this REALLY mattered to him.

… I feel bad knowing what’s coming up.

I think cloning would also require thinking, Izumi …

I forgot this too, Tenma basically forced his father’s hand there by making a blog post about being in the troupe.

He really is powerful, damn.

I’m not even sure what to make of this. He talks about it like that’s a normal resolution process for conversation or something? Ugh. Screw Tenma’s dad.

Summer troupe are a family, summer troupe are a family, summer troupe are a family.

Like holy fuck how hard was that punch?? I’m clumsy as fuck and no stranger to bruises, things don’t go black and blue just outta nowhere! Even in terms of physical punishment (read: abuse), there’s a slap and then there’s absolutely pummeling it into their face. Geez, the fuck is Tenma’s dad’s problem, does he have to be the worst in his chosen category of shittyness?

Hi. I love that Yuzo can talk to Tetsuro too. Actually … hmmm … I feel like @ofgoatsandmagicks surely must have a yuzo/tetsuro fic somewhere ...

Misumi grandpa lore! I am taking very detailed notes.

And then he can’t even see Misumi act … I’m not crying … who’s cutting onions here?

THE MOST IMPORTANT TRIANGLE

He’s so nervous, poor baby.

Man, they really blasted Tenma online for that genepro …

First name basis :) Love that for them.

Izumi, I absolutely adore you and would watch all of your plays ever. For days.

The show must go on!!

TasuIzu fic notes, don’t mind me …

Oh Muku, you adorable thing, I LOVE YOU.
