Possible Devil Fruit Ideas

I currently have a list of possible Devil Fruit ideas for Cass from my fic An Oracle's Odyssey. Not all of them are completely fleshed out yet and are still subject to tweaking and me figuring out the details, I'd just like to know your opinions on them. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. (If you see an N/A, it just means I haven't figured that part out yet)

Fruit 1

Kibo Kibo no Mi (Scale Scale Fruit)

Type: Paramecia

Abilities: Grants the user the ability to increase or decrease the scale of something exponentially. This can be physical (size, amount/# of things, ect) or metaphorical (force, strength, speed, ect). Only works on the user and objects, not other people

Awakening: N/A

Pros

Would allow Cass to increase the their physical stats for as long as they have the energy to hold their fruit powers

Giant Cass

Pocket sized Cass

Enables Cass’s hoarding tendencies

Cass can be that one meme where one person pulls out an absurd amount of weapons

I can give Cass a giant war hammer and a giant battle ax which I would have to forgo with any other fruit because they’re too big to carry around

The one I can be the most creative with

Fruit 2

Oto Oto no Mi (Sound Sound Fruit)

Type: Logia

Abilities: The ability to become, generate and manipulate sound waves. Grants user control over all sound they create

Awakening: Grants user control over all sound waves

Pros

Ties thematically with Cass’s connection to sound

Ties back to Apollo/the sun god because sound and music (this does include Nika as well bc drums)

Allows Cass to become intangible

Sonic screeches

Sonic vibrations could be used to replicate Whitebeard’s fruit

Very difficult to block sound based attacks (probably the most outright deadly if used properly)

Could use sound waves to break things apart on a molecular level

I actually know what I want the awakening to be

Voice mimicry

Fruit 3

Type: Mythical Zoan

Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into the goddess Artemis and tap into her abilities and domains

Nature: Nature is inclined to help & listen to the user

Hunting: Increased physical abilities & aim as well as other hunting abilities

The Moon: Moon beams

Half Form: N/A

Full Form: N/A

Awakening: N/A

Pros

Mood goddess first mate and sun god captain

Ties into nature and the Voice of All Things

Artemis is the twin of Apollo, the greek sun god

Artemis is the goddess of archery and Cass uses ranged weapons

Fruit 4

Hito Hito no Mi Model Hecate (Human Human Fruit Model Hecate)

Type: Mythical Zoan

Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into the goddess Hecate and tap into her abilities and domains

Magic/Witchcraft: The ability to practice Greek witchcraft (spells, potions, herbs, runes)

The Night: Nightvision, possible minor control over darkness

Ghosts/Necromancy: Abilities to see and talk to the spirits of the dead

Crossroads: N/A

Half Form: N/A

Full Form: N/A

Awakening: N/A

Pros

One of the most thematically tied to Cass (Greek Mythology, crossroads and decisions, death)

Hecate is also tied to the moon even if she isn't the mood goddess like Artemis

One of Hecate’s symbols is the torch, tying into their connection with Ace

Strong ties to the underworld and death, with Hecate being one of the few deities who can easily travel between realms

Was a titan who helped the gods when over throwing the titans (relevant but the reason is a spoiler)

Called the three headed goddess represent the maiden, the mother and the crone but also the past, present and future

Witch Cass (requires prep work and Cass to make their own spells and magic system)

Fruit 5

Shika Shika no Mi Model Qilin (Deer Deer Fruit Model Qilin)

Type: Mythical Zoan

Abilities: Grants the user the ability to turn into a Qilin and use it’s abilities

Fire breathing

Prophecy

Flight

Shapeshifting

Half Form: The horns & scales of a Qilin, also hovees & horse like legs and tail

Full Form: Fully transforms into a Qilin (“a deer's body, ox's tail, most frequently cloven hooves, a dragon's head, and scales, sometimes with flames emanating from the body.” description from worldhistory.org)

Awakening: N/A

Pros

Ties most closely into Cass’s Oracle shtick as Qilin’s are associated with prophecy, insight and wisdom like Oracles

I actually have ideas regarding the transformations that would take place

A Qilin’s birth is tied to the birth or death of a sage (Cass dying and being reborn)

Qilins are also known to transport souls

The most distinct transformation of all the Zoan ideas and also the most fun

The chimera esque appearance of a Qilin (important and thematically tied but the reason is a spoiler)

Luffy is based on Sun Wukong who also hails from Chinese mythology like the Qilins

As of right now, any of these fruits are possibilities. Cass never getting a Devil Fruit is also an option. I’d love to hear your opinions. Some other miscellaneous notes, I’m a bit on the fence on the idea of Cass being a Zoan. They’re already an Oracle which is a mythological classification on its own. That’s not to say they can’t be both but it’s something I think about. Also, awakenings. If I were to give them a Devil Fruit, I’d want to have them awaken it before the story finishes so I’d love to hear any ideas you have for it

LIGHTS OUT a roleplay sentence meme with various quotes and sentences taken from navessa allen's lights out. feel free to tweak as needed. content warning: foul language

shit, i just accidentally deleted the text.

sir, i’m at work, how dare you?

i would like to thank the algorithm for bringing me here.

i’m on season six of this video.

well, this has me feeling feral far too early in the morning.

sorry if i fuck this up.

you’re looking pretty pasty lately.

quit now while you’re ahead.

how do i find someone from social media?

what would you do if i said yes?

i need so much more therapy than i’m currently getting.

i know you’re reading these messages, you bastard. i can see the read receipts.

who hurt you like this? give me a name and address, and i’ll take care of it.

when i say i would forgive this man for literally anything.

forgive him, you monster.

so this is what jealous rage feels like.

how’s it feel to be the most hated woman on the internet right now?

if you don’t want him, i’ll take him.

insomnia is kicking my ass this week.

no touchy. still angry.

don’t misconstrue this. this isn’t for you.

it feels a little like it’s for me.

aww, our first official fight.

bad boys don’t get rewarded.

gee, i wonder who could have done such a dastardly thing?

you do snore real cute - like a chipmunk with a cold. wheeze, wheeze, siiiigh.

you shouldn’t have. i mean that literally, but i’m grateful anyway.

it’s… i don’t know exactly how to describe it. good isn’t the right word. rewarding might be better.

i see you’ve been reading my comments.

what was it you said yesterday? this isn’t for you?

i brought it in here to eat in front of you while mocking your hunger.

our baby angel did absolutely nothing wrong, and i resent the insinuation that he ever could.

you are so presumptuous!

i noticed how you look at me and decided not to fight your inevitable claiming.

me? what the fuck did i do?

you better be joking, or we are about to have our second fight.

we are 100% about to have our second fight.

death is nothing new to me, i see it on a weekly basis.

i’m more fucked up over not being fucked up, if that makes sense.

pull over, we’re breaking up. let me out.

thank fucking god there’s someone in your life to take some of your weirdness off my hands.

finally, someone to take some of the burden of his love off my shoulders.

turn me towards him so i can kick him.

your face is about to have a misunderstanding with my fist.

bet you twenty bucks i can get one of them to laugh before the end of the night.

we are not going to tear out of anywhere. we’ll leave at a non-suspicious speed.

our fearless leader just face-planted into a rhododendron.

you should have gone with them, even if it put me at risk.

that isn’t how this works, you don’t get to sacrifice yourself for me.

i’ll find a place with low lighting and a table in the back where no one but our server will see us.

i knew i shouldn’t have said anything. you’re going to be insufferable now, aren’t you?

either way, get in. it’s as cold as a nun’s twat out here.

next time, try saying something about what a nice arse i have.

stop trying to infantilize him because he makes you feel weird in the tummy.

picture me holding a toddler in one arm, and a baby in the other.

🔍 cynosure status update

i mean. it's also periphery update too though. teehee. feel free to also check out the drawing here!

🤍 New to the story? Check out the (current) wip intros: Cynosure / Periphery

omg it's been a while, hasn't it? haha. i must admit i might have gotten A Bit too deep into some university assignments (+ my thesis). I do sometimes talk about the story on my main, too, but it's nothing that important for the story itself, mostly just some fun facts about the characters, which means that most of the development I've done is in my brain. Or is nonexistent or something. ANYWAY! Here's a status update to tell what has been happening lately! Might actually make this into something I post every now and then.

In this status update I'm going to talk a little about how it's going with the story, overall thoughts, plot/character changes and some things you can expect during next few weeks (hopefully). I'll put it all under the cut to keep this short on the dashboard 🥰

Like always, if you have any questions about the story, feel free to send an ask - I'll always be happy to answer 🤍

overall thoughts

Right now one of my top thoughts is honestly debating whether i want to, like, actually write this somewhere as a nove, or whether I should do it as a graphic novel or something. That said, if I do go with the latter, you can still expect writing bc I like to write things out to plan them. Or vise versa make some kind of sketches for writing. My brain works in a weird way, I know lol

I have been doing some worldbuilding (specifically for the story AND something for the overall story world that I have). Let me know if you'd love to hear some things I have thought about!

I've also been doing some research about *checks notes* Boston, MA. Because that's where most of the story happens :^) Though it happens in 2200's so I still have lots of room to change things around.

Definitely thinking about adding more dark/horror stuff in the world as a whole bc there's been, like, a climate crisis. AND people do interplanetary traveling. Stuff like that ought to lead to some fucked up stuff. Especially when there's megacorporations involved. Cynosure wise there's going to be something, especially in Periphery, happening to one of the main characters. 👀

plot/character updates

(that have happened lately, at least)

One of the pov characters kind of got a name update! Tobias's first name has been changed to Ripley, and it's what most characters will probably referring to it as. That said, some characters (+ itself) will refer to it as Tobias bc that's its preferred name that's somethings its friends and wife call it

Another pov character (Samuel) got an interesting change of backstory, some tweaks in personality, and its plot-revelant actions have changed a little. Sammy's changes has thus made some already existing things I've posted on here non-canon.

Slowly finally putting together what I mah want to have in Klara's chapters and it's sooooo exciting.

Polished some things about the plots, especially the different parts of the acts <3

Got more thoughts about the project itself (or, well, what it should have). That also means I need to look more into pharma research or something. Very interesting...

Overall, lots to think about and lots to research about.

things to expect in next few weeks

(that is, if I won't drown in university assignments or something)

I've had some ideas for little stories that would be happening before the story, to show more information about the characters and the story itself (like what happened in the original project). Or maybe just some fun parts of characters' backstories. So I may post something if I manage to write it!

Some more character introductions + pov character post. Might make a "tag yourself" meme. Or a powerpoint wip intro

Something else, maybe? If you have an idea, let me know!

taglist (interact with this post if you want to be added or removed!)

[saucylittlesmile]

The ISU technical requirements for ice dance 2023/2024 have finally dropped, and with it comes some saucy thoughts!

~

First of all... confirmed is 1980's rhythm dance, to no one's surprise. For some, it will only come as a surprise that the 1980's was 40 years ago.

The theme selected for the Rhythm Dances for both Junior and Senior for the season 2023/24 is “Music and Feeling of the Eighties”. Any music is possible provided it was originally released in the decade of the 1980s. The couple should demonstrate through dance the culture and feeling/essence of this decade. The selected music may be remastered.

Music and feeling? I guess that's to help keep the skater's in line - no obscure, ahead-of-their-time, or 'made in the 80's but with a retro vibe' sneaky RD's allowed. And, it needs to have been 'originally released' in the 80's, but may be 'remastered', which to me means, the recording was fixed up to sound better - but does that mean that it can't be a cover that was done at a later time? Guess we'll see.

The Rhythm Dance should NOT be skated in the style of a Free Dance. The couple must use dance movements and dance holds to interpret the chosen music from this decade.

I mean - the dance movements that I'm picturing are not especially ice-dance friendly, aside from those still-present (and personally irking) numerous stops that are allowed. And I can genuinely say I don't know of any particular dance holds that are representative of the 1980's, unless the school dance hold is one of them (and no idea when that originated).

Choreographic Rhythm Sequence Tempo: 100 beats/minute minimum Steps: Silver Samba, steps #9, 9a, 9b to #47 Woman’s steps and / or Man’s steps skated by either the Man or the Woman or a combination of both provided there is continuity of prescribed steps always performed by at least 1 partner (starting on step 9 and concluding on step 47). No restriction in the number of beats per step. Hold(s): in contact, any holds are permitted Pattern: starts on the judges’ left side with step no. #9 of the Woman and #9a and #9b of the Man and finishing with step #47 May cross the long axis without any restriction Separation - 1 separation is permitted for not more than 2 arm lengths and duration not more than 2 measures of music Loop - One (1) permitted Retrogression - One (1) permitted Stop - Not permitted The Choreographic Rhythm Sequence (ChRS) is evaluated as a Choreogrphic Element as one unit.

The choreographic step sequence is gone!!!!! Well, sort of gone. Sort of a mess. They took the steps from the silver samba - more on that in a moment - and then said, you have to do them, but you can do them however you want! Someone needs to do them, the other one doesn't. Pick a tempo, any tempo. Pick a hold, any hold. Pick a way to skate them, any way. Skate in one direction, do a retrogression (but not more than one because that's where they draw the line!).

And then, it's all GOE, baby!

So I can't complain, exactly, because hey, I hated that the choreographic step sequence was useless in every possible way besides entertainment (and as a judged sport, I do want to be entertained but not at the expense of the validity of it as a sport. Technically, we got back the compulsory, which is what I sort of wanted. But it's been so tweaked that it is next to impossible to compare teams, even then. After all, if the skaters can do any combination of the steps (the man's steps, the woman's steps, or any combination as long as all the steps from 9-47 are done, performed by one or the other skater, and they can do a loop and a retrogression or one or neither... well, you get my drift. There is a vague idea of similarity, like they are trying to placate me specifically, while also giving themselves so many loopholes that they almost might as well not have bothered. (I would make a little meme of Madonna's Vogue into Vague, but it was released in 1990 and is not the music nor the feeling of the 1980's, unfortunately.)

And then, the judging is still the same. There are no levels, no particular requirements about edges or turns being correct, no expectation beyond being able to decipher and follow an arbitrary set of rules, and Sell the Samba! to receive your happy face sticker from the judges. Unless they don't like you, and then they pretend you just didn't do it as well.

The Silver Samba. It is a quick tempo, and the steps are almost all quick feet and few demands on edges. It is a short dance - to do the section of steps that is required here, assuming that the team doesn't stretch it out, will take less than 30 seconds. It is not a compulsory that was used very much at a senior level, since it's origin (just three times, from what I can see). Here is Grishuk/Platov performing it; but also, here is a team that is doing this as a dance test, because the camera is stationary and it gives you a better perspective on the dance as a whole (the camera is opposite where the judges would be, so step 9 is starting on the far side of the rink from the camera, in the corner, and step 49 is on the side closest to the camera.)

As another interesting note, this is the only step sequence that is permitting a retrogression this season; every other step sequence specifically prohibits them.

~

On to the FD!

One (1) Set of Synchronized Twizzles At least 2 Twizzles for each partner, with a minimum of 2 steps and up to 4 steps between 1st and 2nd Twizzles. (Each push and/or transfer of weight while on two feet between Twizzles is considered as a step) Partners may be in contact between the 1st and 2nd Twizzles.

Unlike recent seasons, the partners are not required to touch between twizzles, though they are still allowed to do so. I guess the ISU got tired of watching teams reach out and literally place a hand on a boot or arm, and consider the rule fulfilled, lol.

Choreographic elements...

Three (3) Different Choreographic Elements chosen from: Choreographic Lift Choreographic Spinning Movement Choreographic Assisted Jump Movement Choreographic Twizzling Movement Choreographic Sliding Movement Choreographic Character Step Sequence Choreographic Hydroblading Movement

Yes, that's right, Yet Another choreographic element added to the list of possible choices, to allow judges to give egregious marks expand the creativity of the dances, and get points for them specifically instead of being creative just for creativity's sake. Hydroblading, which was popularized in the 1990's by Bourne and Kraatz, has continued to have skaters who make use of it during their programs. But, they will have a fine line to balance, as any hydroblading they do must be careful not to allow any body part to actually touch the ice, or else it will become a choreographic sliding movement, instead.

Choreographic Hydroblading Movement: performed anywhere in the program, during which both partners perform hydroblading movements The following requirements apply:

A low movement with the upper body almost parallel to the ice. The core of the body must be clearly positioned away from the vertical axis. No other part of the body other than the boot of the free leg is allowed to touch the ice. If any other part of the body, (other than the allowable boot/foot drag of the free leg) touches the ice it may be considered a Chorographic Sliding Movement

Hydroblading movement by both partners at the same time for at least 2 seconds. The start and end of the Choreographic Hydroblading Movement does not have to be performed simultaneously.

May be in hold or not touching

Also of note - if the team choses to do a choreographic character step sequence, they must not do it in the same pattern as their required Style B step sequence (circular, midline, diagonal, short axis).

~

The other aside, was that the junior teams, also skating to the 80's, also have an interesting caveat to their pattern dance, the Rocker Foxtrot. The original pattern is only 14 steps, taking up half the rink. The juniors will skate two sequences of this pattern; the first is the traditional pattern, while the second half on the other side of the rink, has the woman dancing the man's steps, and the man dancing the woman's steps! Now, they may have chosen that to add interest, but it feels like a very, very minor way to play with the idea of moving past defining ISU ice dance as 'one man and one woman'. (There is also a note about being allowed to alter the type of hold expected in the dance overall, except for the key points, which I of course find interesting after talking about it so much over the years.)

Two (2) Sections of the Rocker Foxtrot: skated to any dance style with the range of tempo: 26 measures of 4 beats per minute (104 beats per minute) plus or minus 2 beats per minute. The first step of the dance begins on beat one of a musical phrase. 1RF and 2RF: Steps #1-14 Two (2) Sequences of Rocker Foxtrot may be skated in any order, one after the other or separately. Step #1 of 1RF skated at the Judges left side. Step #1-14 of 2RF skated at the Judges right side. 1RF must be skated in accordance with Rule 707, paragraph 2, the Man must skate the Man’s Steps and the Woman must skate the Woman's Steps. 2RF, the Woman skates the Man’s steps and the Man skates the Woman’s steps (switch tracking/sides on Key Points in a recognized hold excluding hand in hand). Variation of Hold is permitted except during the Key Points. Crossing the Long Axis is permitted for Steps #5, #8 – 9. The description, chart and diagram of the Pattern Dance Element Rocker Foxtrot are included in the ISU Handbook Ice Dance 2003.

RULES FOR INTERACTION

NO MINORS. No exceptions. All minors who interact will be blocked;

I'm not mutuals-only. Bring on your ideas and we can interact!

Personals and non-rp blogs are welcome;

Camille is a villain, so expect her to act like one. However, I’m very flexible and open to making small tweaks in her personality if it leads to an engaging story arc or enhances the role-playing experience for both me and my rp partner;

Needless to say, MUN =/= MUSE, the character's views DO NOT represent my own;

My Camille is open for shipping, I don't care. But it will only happen if there's chemistry;

NSFW and DD:DNE allowed;

I'm ok with writing most themes, but be warned that I'm a complete clown irl so no matter how traumatic and angst our thread is, I will probably send you a meme about it. Let me know if it's not your vibe and I'll refrain from doing so;

DMs and asks always open. Feel free to prompt me!

I will never bug you about a reply, and none of my interactions comes with any kind of pressure. Take all the time you need in our threads, and in our communication out of the character too;

Don't need to match styles or length in replies;

Feel free to drop any thread at any given time, you don't even need to warn me, I'll never be mad about it or most probably I won't remember it;

I'd like to be informed beforehand about violent interactions (or if you plan to kill my muse, let's make it dramatic and coherent);

I can write only in portuguese, english or spanish. Unfortunately I can't comprehend any other languages :(

Crossovers, AUs, canon-divergence friendly;

Feel free to take small liberties such as a change of scene/scenario/introduce more characters, and even describe minor reactions of my muse (a look, a shift in the attention, a sigh, etc), specially if previously plotted, but please don't write away all of my muse's actions/speeches;

Extremely OC friendly, let me meet your blorbos ❤️

Multiverse, multiship, polyship, crossover, rarepairing, crackships friendly;

No rush on replies! I'm a slow writer, mostly because I write first in my mother tongue and then translate it to english... So yeah, please be patient with me. Also, I'm pretty laid-back, so no need to feel pressured to reply quickly, be it in threads or in DMs. I'm super low-maintenance too — if we don't talk for months, I'll still reply like no time has passed.

NO DRAMA. I don't want to know what XYZ said on a Discord server; I don't want to read a full thread on Twitter about your bickering. Don't try to guilt me into stop taking to someone. Don't tag me in callout posts. Don't come to my inbox to talk shit about other people, especially if they're POC. Whatever your personal problems with others are, DON'T INVOLVE ME. Especially if you're USian.

Don't "softblock" me. I use mostly Tumblr mobile, so most of times I'll just think I unfollowed you unintentionally (because the app does that) and I will follow again. Either ignore me or block me at once.

NO RACISM, HOMOPHOBIA, TRANSPHOBIA, ETC. I can, of course, interact with biased characters, but DON'T make it an excuse to be an asshole in the real world.

LIGHTS OUT ── SMUTTY EDITION a roleplay sentence meme with various smutty quotes and sentences taken from navessa allen's lights out. feel free to tweak as needed. content warning: foul language, sexual content

this man is always coming onto my FYP and never on me, and that is a tragedy.

stop that. bad hand. we’re not doing this.

i know i’ve already told you this a thousand times in so many embarrassingly inappropriate ways, but you have a beautiful body.

that video you sent me was such a tease. is that what you’re like in real life?

i have no regrets about publicly claiming you.

i knew you’d be big.

you’re so hard that i need two hands to get your zipper open.

will you behave if i put the knife down?

i won’t do it if you don’t promise to be a good boy.

i see the knife kink goes both ways.

this is something i’ve dreamed about for months.

are you accepting applications for a third?

i’m not going to deny myself a chance to touch you just because we’re in a fight.

i can’t tell you how many times i’ve fantasized about doing this.

please, god. don’t let her have a fisting kink.

if we weren’t in this car, i would deep throat you until i choked.

if you keep interrupting me, i’ll never find out what you taste like when you come.

but i don’t wanna go to bed! i want to stay up late and get railed!

i’m a little worried about your plans for me.

no safe words, you want me to stop, just say so.

i want to feel you come. 

i want to feel you brand my throat where you hand just was, marking me.

you can always tell me to stop.

shhh, i know, baby. you’re doing so good.

let go, i’ll catch you when you fall.

hello, boobs, i’ve missed you.

you’re soaked, baby. you should see the way you glisten.

i thought i’d need to work you up to take this, but you got there on your own.

i’ve spent so much time watching your videos that the second i see you, my body is just... ready.

every time i see you, i’m gonna know you’re wet for me.

it might be this blindfold, but i don’t see the problem here.

my leg will go out if you do that again.

what the fuck are you sitting still for, i told you to ride it.

can you be a good girl and give me that?

let go, i’ve told you, i’ve got you, baby.

you got a real creepy vibe going on right now, and i don’t know if i should be worried or turned on. never mind, my body figured it out.

stay right here, or i’ll decide its time for your punishment.

i need to go slow to keep from hurting you.

your noises aren’t for anyone but me now.

that’s twice now that you’ve broken a promise to me. i hope you can handle the consequences.

i’m not too proud to admit that i’m in so much pain that i don’t think i can worship you the way you deserve right now.

you’re beautiful when you’re scared.

you’re so wet, i don’t even need lube.

if all it took was a little light spanking to get you to say that, i would have bent you over my knee the first time we met.

just tell me to stop, and i will.

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Oh wait I’ll check on the Noel noa color thing but also FRENCH FLAG LMFAOOOOOO im crying that’s too funny to me you should just use that regardless of character color Edit: ok yeah no character color specification so FRENCH FLAG IT IS

LMAOO otoya fr would be tweaking “you like the fucking donkey suit more than my sheen costume???”

SHSHSH welp either way character development yk!!! HAVE FUNNNNN but yess I’ve got some halloweekend plans to go out with some friends!! Our group decided on the power rangers LOL so we’ll be doing that I can’t say I can see myself having an event that’s on Mira lore levels but very excited anyways LMAO

True…at least the additional times are popping off….anyways….

Trueee the art style has changed so much LOL plus now that barous more established as Isagis rival im sure they’ll yassify him

I agree especially in the manga lately the eyes are getting huge LMAOO but relatively they are larger but not to a point where I really noticed or let it bother me tbh I think ops eye style is weird but whatever I guess

LMAOAOAOA atp we’re gonna cycle through all the other characters and get converted after their miraverse debuts bllks just gotta trust the process and let Shidou find their soulmates with his antennae LMAOOOO

YES THAT LITERALLY WHAT HAPPENED LMFAOOOOO to date you’re still the only one I ever sent something too either because some people had requests closed or I just wasn’t feeling like I had the balls for it at the moment oops but yeah anyways I haven’t seen AS many Karasu cameos recently but maybe if I find a good one I’ll try another but real glad we’re staying strong!! Also real x2 familial/platonic Barou is SOOO GOOD I LOVE pursuit Barou unironically maybe my fav version wait ikwym though I think I’m the same where I wouldn’t actively wish for Barou to be the male lead and get the romantic plot but Karasu on the other hand…so real for otoya though he’s definitely grown a LOT on me too!! WAITTT OTOYA PURSUIT VERSION??? No way…I would’ve never imagined it being for otoya at first that’s crazy but this is where the side stories/spin offs have their time to shine LMAOO nagi main and then side story branches problem solved but yeah swerving is a struggle because at the same time I feel like having the side characters all be opps would make it less enjoyable too if you just hated the rest of the cast LMFAO

Omg our 1/3 year anniversary?!?! Wow wait I can’t believe it’s been that long this is crazy but YES spread the closeted loser otoya agenda!!! Maybe we’ll get less cheater fics of him because of bfb!!! OH YEAH that giant rec post LOL I did giggle reading seabird though the banter and mini beef was really funny no fr if sae was like that I could see myself converting but alas

The perfect balance between meme and hot edit >>> careless whisper unironically one of my fav audios at this point third selection/u20 yuki in my head forever and always also speaking of the way he’s still benched in the manga….

- Karasu anon

LMAOOO CAN YOU IMAGINE I DID A GRADIENT WITH THE FRENCH FLAG TOO 😭😭😭 idt ibispaintx lets you do that with the free version but it would be hilarious 😫 anyways i always forget noa is french for some reason HAHA maybe because he coaches bm which is a german club OKFJDJD but yeah we may have to go with french flag blue then (or maybe a color will drop by the time i get to that req)

HELPP IMAGINE OTOYA IS SEXY SHREK (somehow) and this is karasu:

the entire time his expression is just like 😒😒😒 because he did NOT want to be the donkey but it was that or lord farquaad but that would’ve entailed having to pretend to be shorter than otoya the whole night and he couldn’t handle that (i’d still take him dressed like that ngl)

POWER RANGERS IS SO CUTE I HOPE YOU HAD FUN!! and that you stayed safe and nothing too crazy happened LFJDJS

the art style has improved sm it’s so crazy to look back at the earlier chapters of the manga and see the difference in all of the characters especially barou nagi and isagi!! those three look the most improved i think LDJDJS but fr the additional times have been slaying they’re my fav parts of the episodes

HELPPP not us turning every bllk opp into wingmen 😭😭😭 tbf shidou was never really an opp though he was just irrelevant kinda like aiku so ig the promotion makes sense 🧐 but so true who’s next…wingman chigiri or smth…chigiri set me up with nagi PLEASE

OADJSHSN FEELING HONORED can’t believe i was your first/only request 🙏🏻 i haven’t been seeing much karasu either (not that i really read fics though) i think that means i need to get back to work 😓 you know what they say if you want to read it you have to write it ☝🏻 but yeah barou and yukimiya are kinda in the same boat for me where i really like both but i wouldn’t SWERVE for them unless the dynamic with them is more compelling than the main lead’s dynamic

YUP pursuit was originally meant to be for otoya that’s why he’s also a ninja in it!! kinda like hollyhock lol it actually predates hollyhock too i came up with the idea for it in the beginnings of the miraeita era so that explains it but yeah it’s crazy to think about how different the story would’ve been if it had been for him…i feel like a lot of very iconic plot lines wouldn’t have been as good with otoya sadly LMAO like the aegislash arc just wouldn’t fit otoya as well as it does nagi sadly 😭 and agreed that’s the thing with writing opps as side characters is i just don’t care abt them so either i’ll be annoyed OR i’ll convert and they won’t be opps anymore

I KNOWWW IT’S CRAZY you sent the req for fwtkac at some point in early june so if you count that then it’s been like five months but if you go by when i actually posted fwtkac in like mid-late june it’s been about four months either way it’s insane KDHDSHA but yeah seabird made the rec post so it got a boost from that ig…ngl i’ve never really been able to figure out why some stories do/don’t get notes because the one shots i think are silly goofy dumb get way more traction than my more serious works 🤷🏻‍♀️ but i also don’t really care that much about notes so it doesn’t bother me it’s just curious 😭 as long as i get one or two people telling me they like a given story i’m happy with it HAHA maybe i can say that as someone who’s blown up on wattpad and ao3 already but I actually had less fun with my writing when i had more readers than less so i’m not the kind of person that really craves getting readers or anything like that…like whenever i see those posts complaining about how those blurb posts/two sentence headcanons get 10x as many notes as well written stories i’m just like eh because it’s true and i do find those fics annoying but at the end of the day what people choose to like/rb doesn’t change the quality of what i’m writing any yk 🤔 i know my stuff is pretty decent so why would i waste my energy complaining about not getting enough recognition when i could just be happy with what i DO get (plus i write for fun and just happen to share it because i can not because i write for validation so there’s no reason to stress)

LMAOOO IF CANON SAE WAS LIKE SEABIRD SAE I’D FR LOVE HIM to be fair i think it’s just that we never get to see him through any lens but rin’s pov so it’s always the most emo version of him HAHAH because tbf i don’t think any character could’ve pulled off seabird the way he did yk so it must be somewhat in character 😰 at least we can hope so

memes aside careless whisper is lowkey a really good song LRJDJSSN but yeah yukimiya truly one of the men of all time…kaneshiro bring him back 😢 GET HIM OFF THE BENCH ASAP

“Guilt does a lot of damage.” Cam @ Charles!

SENTENCE MEME ⟶ HOUSE, M.D. / SEASON ONE ( episodes 01.01 – 01.06 ) always feel free to tweak the sentence to fit your muse.

Ah. Clearly, somebody had done some research into what had happened. That, or one of the nosey, old ladies - the kind that could be found in every church - had spotted Charlie coming by and decided to gossip. Either way, it was obvious what Camniel was alluding to.

Charlie hadn't told him much himself. The most that he had mentioned was that he had been shot, figuring that it was obvious where. He was, however, aware of exactly how easy it was to find information about the whole incident. The story, and his full name, had been in the news quite a bit when it initially happened, which meant that it was all on the internet too. Somewhere, there was even a picture of him being carried into an ambulance, taken from afar by a stranger that had presumably been watching the events as entertainment.

Anyway, it didn't take a genius to work out that Charlie felt guilty about the entire thing. Survivor's guilt was a common occurrence, especially when a death of a colleague in the line of duty had been involved. The death of a loved one made it even more common, but thankfully nobody knew about that. Charlie hadn't even told the therapists he had been forced to speak to.

Despite all this, he still didn't want to talk about it. Charlie didn't think that he was in denial. Rather, he saw it as wanting to move on. What was the point in talking about it anyway? Nobody he knew would understand. Sometimes, he didn't even understand himself.

"What guilt?" Charlie shot back, fixing Camniel with a steeled look that, in context, practically screamed avoidance.

"I knew it was a mistake trusting you."

"You've been a real picnic yourself."

"Hey, stop! Get your hands off of me."

"You shy? Or just ugly?"

"You look good for a dead girl."

"That was a long time ago. People change."

"You were following us? Why didn't you say something?"

"You still punch like a little boy."

"And what do I lose but problems?"

"Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?"

"She still needs you. They all do."

"They're right not to trust us."

"With respect, I don't give a shit what any of you think of me anymore."

"Nothing ever stays dead."

"I always heard you. Shadows in the streets, prickles on the back of my neck."

"The only thing that kept me going was the thought of getting back to you."

"I paid your girlfriend a visit this morning."

"Make her go away, please."

"You wouldn't lie to me. Not again."

"You're my daughter. I'll never forsake you."

"I never would have given you to them. Not for anything."

"I thought maybe you could love me like you used to."
