#thank you for being so considerate I really appreciate it! 🫂

In no way do I want this to come across and press or rushing you, but do you have an estimate for the next chapter? Want to do a reread, but I want to time it with the next chapter coming out hahaha

Hiii!! That’s so sweet of you! Thank you for being so considerate!!

So, I know I won’t be getting chapter 24 of cbmthy done anytime before the end of October. Looking at a calendar I imagine I’ll want to have the next part done by November 8th (since I like posting on Fridays) and that’s what I’m currently aiming for :)

Hi Sarah!

Thank you so much for always providing such great content on your blog. It's incredibly kind of you to consistently follow the girls' activities and share the information with the English-speaking community. I know it must take a lot of effort, and I truly appreciate it.

I'm really heartbroken by the recent developments, especially the rumours and backlash against the girls. I don't believe for a second that they "betrayed" Kajiura on purpose. I just hope people can be more rational and avoid jumping to conclusions, especially when so many details are still unclear. Anyone who has been following them knows they aren't the type to be ungrateful to Kajiura. Your unwavering support for the girls really means a lot and has made me feel much better during all of this.

I was tidying up my mailbox and came across an old recording of the girls' cover of 茉莉花 (the Chinese folk song "Jasmine Flower") from their 2016 Far on the Water Live Tour in Shanghai. I'm not sure if anyone has shared it with you before, but I’d be happy if this is new to you and hope it brings a little joy to your day. It's certainly not the best quality since I recorded it secretly during the concert, and halfway through, Keiko gestured for the audience to sing along, so there's a lot of background noise. Still, I wanted to share it as a small token of thanks for all the hard work you put into supporting the girls.

Hope you like it and have a wonderful day!

Hello! 😊

Awww, thank you! ❤️ I appreciate your kind words🫂 My love for the girls is still very strong so I'm more than happy to share this love with my fellow fans. I know it can be incredibly hard to follow all the information, updates and releases if you are not willing or able to invest a lot of time and money into the whole thing.

I hate seeing all the backlash against the girls. Yes, Yuki Kajiura has every right to feel slighted and her loyal fans can be disappointed or angry on her behalf. It's understandable. But remain reasonable and stick to facts. Don't treat the girls as if they are not even human, as if they were just instruments used by Yuki Kajiura, without their own feelings or thoughts. You really think this decision for the reunion live was made lightly without putting a lot of thought and consideration into it? You really think the girls didn't weigh all their available options in advance and decided this was the best possible course of action for everyone involved even if that route would ultimately lead to them being in a position where they simply weren't allowed to speak of the matter? Sometimes life puts obstacles in our way and we have no choice but to grit our teeth and move past them to get where we want to be. Along the line, sacrifices have to made and not everything will be sunshine and rainbows. The entertainment industry sucks and there are a lot of people in high positions who don't always have everyone's best interest in mind. I am sure Yuki Kajiura, Wakana, Keiko and Hikaru are very much aware of that fact and will find a way to clear up any existing misunderstandings in a civil manner.

Everyone, please realise that name-calling the girls and accusing them of every horrible thing under the sun is unacceptable, it's just beyond disrespectful and it's no way to treat someone you claim to be a fan of. Even if your loyalty lies more with Yuki Kajiura, I assume you are still a fan of Kalafina so please treat the members with the respect they deserve and don't readily dismiss them just because of an incident we don't know any details about.

I 100% understand why Wakana, Keiko and Hikaru are currently trying to lay low in the aftermath of the announcement. Still, it's sad that they are forced into a corner like that, that they feel the need to "hide" from their fans during a time that was surely intended to be celebratory for all of us. It's been unusually quiet on all of their social media channels. Not even a random Instagram story by Keiko or a new YouTube video from Hikaru...*sighs* They obviously don't want to stir up any more trouble and are waiting for things to blow over but I personally feel that it would actually help some fans to see reason if they heard the girls speak up about the reunion in a more casual and frank manner. We'll obviously never find out anything about the internal machinations of the whole thing but it would be nice to know how the girls feel about this reunion on an emotional level. Unfortunately, the official announcement statements felt a bit too stilted and coordinated so I think they came across as not entirely genuine to many fans. Oh well, that's not how situations are usually handled in the Japanese entertainment industry so we'll just have to wait and see...

..••°°°°••....••°°°°••....••°°°°••....••°°°°••....••°°°°••....••°°°°••..

Waaaaahhh!!!😲 OMG!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!💖💖💖 No one ever shared a full recording of this 茉莉花 performance with me. All I ever had was that tiny snippet from a news report.

This is SO PRECIOUS!!✨ I ADORE every second of it! They are clearly putting so much love into every syllable of the song. I could listen to it again and again (even if the audio quality isn't too great😅). Just melting during Keiko's tender melodic embellishment. So beautiful🥹 Again, thank you for sending this to me, I really appreciate it🙌

a/n: I accidentally deleted the request but someone asked for: "chigiri,friends to lovers" if u see this thanks for requesting,its my first ever "xreader" i hope it doesn't suck that much.

character:Chigiri Hyouma

content:fluff,a bit of angst,but mostly fluff

｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡

ﾟ。 Friends to Lovers w/ Chigiri ♡ ﾟ･｡･ﾟ

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

As friends

•As we all know chigiri has been popular as soon as he got into highschool for his talent(and for his looks obvi)so you probably heard of him before becoming his friend

•I think it would have been hard to be his friend

•Before his knee injury, because of his football skills he always thought of himself as superior to others but i feel like he was also modest about it.

•His personality was kinda a 50/50

•After the injury that feeling of superiority crumbles but he had a hard time and ended up building walls around himself

•So yeah,to become his friend you would have to be really patient

•But lets say that u managed to overcome this arduous task and became his friend(yay!!)

•You guys would probably spend lunch together in silence enjoying eachothers company or have some small talk

•If you're somebody who's into "having a good apparece" you would probably talk about fashion,hairstyles,etc.

•I feel like before going to Blue Lock he couldn't really open up about football bc it made him remember his past

•So if you two probably didn't talk about football much and it would be better for the friendship

•He appreciates you for still being by his side since you're probably one of the few people that still recognize him for who he is,after his sister and mother. That's probably when he started to feel something for you but he kept it low-key bc he really didn't need to get hurt even more tbh😔🫂

•Also bc he wouldn't want his family to find out bc they would tease the crap out of him

•I JUST KNOW THAT HE'D BE THE TYPE OF FRIEND THAT WOULD BUY YOU SOMETHING WARM TO DRINK WHEN ITS COLD OR SOME SNACKS,OR THE TYPE OF FRIEND THAT WILL TELL U THE TRUTH YOU NEED TO HEAR BC HE KNOWS THAT IT WOULD MAKE YOU IMPROVE EVEN IF IY HURTS

•love him frfr

He starts falling for u

•I feel like with Chigiri u probably fell first but he fell harder

•You fell first but when he had girls drooling over him and he rejected all of them bc he wanted to focus only on football,gotta admit,it scared u

•And when them fake ass bitches left bc he stopped playing soccer it just felt wrong

• +100 points for u for being considerate of his feeling

•So the both of u kept ur feeling for urself and expected them to just fade away since u two we're already friends,but surprise surprise,they didn't left and u were stuck with them. Especially when he left for blue lock without saying much,u just thought about moving on but who can tbh

•Chigiri liked u for ur kind,positive and cheerful personality,the perfect energy that he needed when the world seemed against him.

•He probably realized how much he liked you when he was in Blue lock very far away from you,when no one was there to tell him that's everything was going to be fine.

•When he managed to get his hands of his phone he texted hai family and you

•You were surprised and happy that he remembered you and so was him when u texted back

•You both promised eachothers and you were gonna meet up as soon as possible

•and y'all did

•You two decided to meet up at a cute coffee shop to catch up and it's exactly what happened,you guys clicked and ended up talking for hours.

•You we're nevrvous about meeting him again since ur crush was still there but it was a relief that he was doing better and seeing him talk about football again with happy eyes

•Yup, everything was fine and you started hanging out more often when he had time

•Everyone around you probably thought you two were dating

•Everything felt so natural that u both forgot that none of y'all confessed💀

•He was so stressed about it cuz he wanted to be more than friends but didn't know how to tell u

•He was thinking to hard about it at the point that the next time u guys met up you noticed he was acting a bit weird: he was avoiding eye contact,he wouldn't even make the mistake to be close to u and his answers were really dry,but sometimes you could see him blush a little bit and noticed how sometimes his ears would get red

•While he was fighting himself to choose how to tell you about his feelings to you just managed to obtain mixed signals

•so confusing ikr

•So one day when he was taking you back to your house you decided to ask him about it

~imagine this:

You guys were side by side walking towards your house,none of you were talking,it was a bit awkward ngl.

The sun was saying its goodbye and it was getting cold but it didn't bother you since all the toughts that were going through your head were distracting you.

You stopped walking and he noticed so he stopped too after taking some steps ahead.

"Y/N..? Is everything ok?" Chigiri asked with his calm voice,but he looked at you with a bit of concern since you weren't answering.

He took some steps to get closer to you and that's when you said:" Chigiri can i ask you something?"trying to not look at him in the eyes.

"Sure" he said.

"Is everything ok between us,you've been acting a bit distant lately,did i do something to upset you?" You said,proud of yourself for managing to say it without stuttering or sounding desperate.

There was a bit of silence and you were ready to just move on and tell him that you could just walk by yourself from here.

You looked at him and it was your first time seeing him with a face color that matched his hair.

"..I'm sorry,that's the total opposite of what I'm trying to do" he said with a quiet voice audible only to you

You stayed silent waiting for him to say more.

"Actually Y/N(🤓), there's something I've been wanting to tell you for the past months"he said.

You were looking at him with eyes full of hopes that something might change from today(spoiler: it did)

"I like you..I've been liking you for a while to be precise,I don't know if it's the right time or if you-Are you crying?"

He notice you trying to opress your sobs,without much success.

"Was my confession that bad?" He asked with a nervous smile on his face.

It wasn't,in fact it was the best thing you've been told this past months.What a relief,you felt like you could finally breathe.

"No. No,it was good. Pretty good actually" you said while trying to get rid of the tears at the end of your eyes,while having a big smile printed in your face.

"It's such a relief,I'm glad" you said.

"So..Do u feel the same?" he said while coming closer to u,wanting to hold your hand.

"Isn't it obvious?" You said while laughing a bit,he also laughed,feeling at ease in the moment.

•and y'all started dating. Happy ending yay

a/n: Should I do a part.2 with chigiri as ur bf?lemme know. Thanks for reading.

[ot3showdown]

So, my partner and I were watching Mythbusters last night (as we've been doing for most of the past week during our covid quarantine whoo) & they were re-testing the arrow-splitting myth — aka one of the sexiest things an archer can do, one of the sexiest examples being Errol Flynn's Robin Hood in the 1938 film "The Adventures of Robin Hood" — and because we share the same two (2) braincells, we immediately thought of him, and lo' and behold, the show had the same idea and were specifically trying to replicate that movie scene. So obviously we must pause and rewatch it, right? Right.

As my partner was totally, assuredly looking for a super legal way to watch it, I had the wonderful epiphany — and because I came across this poll from the eldest sibling tournament last week, and very enthusiastically got my partner involved in nominations, we love this poll, having so much fun. So ALL I had to say after I legit gasped was "OT3 BRACKET" and he was like 🤯🤯🤯 "YES"

Because how could we fucking forget our favorite polycule of Sherwood Forest?? It's Robin of Locksley and his ride-or-die bf Will Scarlett fighting and flirting their way into gathering more people into their 'cule, in skin-tight tights & funky lil hats, no less. I immediately went to submit 2 more throuples, our faves, for your consideration:

Lady Marian/Robin Hood/Will Scarlett

and

Little John/Robin Hood/Will Scarlett

Sorry that was so long & not terribly convincing propaganda for them, I just woke up, but they're all just so delightfully queer and in love, okay? Okay.

P.S. I know this poll has taken its toll (ha, rhymes), so I hope you're doing okay! 🫂 We're both really, really excited about this one, so showering you will all the kudos and well wishes!! Keep on being fantabulous, you got this! 💖🤟🫶💪

ohmygod. i love the entire story you've given us to come to your conclusion of: robin hood Fucks. and he sure does.

sorry to hear yall are down with covid, hope yall have a speedy recovery. and sincerely this was very kind and nice to read after a long week. i really appreciate it, thank you. <3 good luck to your faves and im glad to have yall aboard

Hello!

Firstly I wan’t to apologize for the spam once again 😭 but I wanted to show you how much your writing means to me and to all of deobiblr since I see that you’ve been struggling with reblogs :(

I just want you to know that it’s not your fault, nor is it your writing. While I was going through the LIU ML I did notice that there was quite a huge difference in reblogs and interactions but please don’t think that it’s because of your writing! Tbh it can be a multiple of factors such as people only reading fics for certain members (even though they’re missing out on amazing stories but wtv-), ghost readers, people forgetting to reblog the second part (cough cough), shyness ig??, not realizing it was a part of a series, they’re no longer active to complete reading the series, they want to wait fir the series to end before reading it all in one go, or because they simply don’t know that reblogs weigh more than likes on tumblr :(

So…. Yeah! I just wanted to reassure you that all your fics hold such a dear place in my heart and I never want you to forget how much joy you, your fics, and your writing bring to people! Including me haha

I’m also wishing that my reblogs helped at least a little with getting more exposure to the LIU series and provide you with a little comfort that people are still reading and appreciating! Sorry, I feel like I keep repeating myself haha ^^;

Oh! And I’ve also read all your replies and thank you! Ily too 😭🫶 I wish my reactions were a little fresher but I kept up with the series since the beginning basically and I haven’t re-read them (YET!) so my reactions might be a little dull or repetitive/doesn’t bring anything new to the table but thank you for taking your time to read through all of them!

I’m a bit of a blog lurker sometimes so tbh I just read whatever was posted/asked LMAOOOO so I can’t remember exactly where I get some info from but I do know that it was said at one point 😭

Ok sorry that I keep trailing on but thank you once again for taking your time to read this and all my other reblogs and I only wish you the absolute best! Good vibes, lots of love, showers with kisses and roses for you forever! 😚

(P.s. you can decide if you want to answer this publicly or like… subtweet me or smth idk 😭 I was just a lil too shy to be all up in your dms HAHA ok bye fr now muah)

omg user floatingpluto ur so precious 🫂 PLS don't apologize for the reblog spam, i literally had the absolute time of my life both reading thru ur tags AND replying to them (´Д⊂ヽ sometimes idek what to say in response to reblogs bc i feel like i get repetitive even tho i just wanna express my appreciation :')) but it was really fun replying to urs !!!

ahhhh the trouble w reblogs 😔🤧 i fear it's a struggle for everyone nowadays, and i feel a little silly being such a child abt them when ik i prob get a little more interaction than some others :') but thank u for being so kind and considerate abt it!! no matter what, ur reblogs did help me in more ways than one and i appreciate that so, so much. also w the less interactions bit, i def understand that things r going on in people's lives other than fanfic, which is what i keep trying to remind myself of when i do have those really low days of interaction </3 ig my insecurity is just glaringly obvious nowadays 🤡😭

ALSO no worries abt whether or not u bring something "new" to the table in ur replies TT i personally thought they were quite fun and unique!! take ur time w the rereads, and don't feel like u have to just cuz u told me u were gonna !! 😋

much love and hugs!!! 💖💖

[lesbianwyllravengard]

I was promised kisses🧍🏻‍♀️

FOR THE WRITER ASK

🌈 - is there a fic that you worked *really fucking hard on* that no one would ever know? maybe a scene/theme you struggled with?

🎀 - give yourself a compliment about your own writing

💎 - why is writing important to you?

💫 - what is your favorite kind of comment/feedback?

LOVE YOU ♥️🫂♥️🫂♥️🫂♥️

SMOOCHES YOU <3333 THANK YOU ILY TOO

🌈- Honestly my current longest, and longest running, fic right now, We Look So Good, has been the hardest one to write. It's reed900, so there's obviously lots of case shit, and that stuff bores me like nothing else. One of the reasons I don't read reed900 as much is because I genuinely can't stay focused if it's a case fic, spare the ones who do it so cleverly/well balanced with non-case stuff that I have no choice but to love it. Having to come up with a plot when all I wanted to do in the first place was write a fic featuring my favourite trope of fake relationship to lovers was difficult as fuck. This is the only fic where I have an outline of each and every chapter rather than just an overall summary +bits here and there. I've put so much planning and thought into this fic and I've had some readers recognise/appreciate it, but not nearly as much as I've struggled with it. I mean genuinely each chapter has been hard to write, but now especially the one that's supposed to come next, as it contains content I struggle to write and haven't braved in forever. Definitely that one.

🎀 - I've been told a few times that I'm good at emulating characters' voices/mannerisms, to the point where readers state they can read my fic in the characters' voices and picture them acting out what I write. I study the characters extensively before I even attempt at writing a fic, and I am really happy I portray them effectively. So that's my compliment to myself: you do a good job of writing in character.

💎 - I'm honestly not sure. I could say why I think writing is important in general, but for me personally, it's less about it being important, and more about it being something that fills me with joy and is an outlet of my passions and thoughts. It's important to me that in my writing, I stay true to the characters, their environment, and their development.

💫 - I love love LOVE when people add quotes in their comment that stuck out to them/made them feel things, or mention details in my writing that I put lots of thought and attention into that they noticed. I'm always so appreciative of people who not only enjoy my writing but also take the time to reassure me that the things I put so much consideration and effort into were identifiable to them. It's very validating as a writer and makes my heart flutter like nothing else.

Thank you so much! I loved answering these <333

Hi!! I saw that you followed me. And while that made me smile and I think it's an honour, I just wanted to let you know that it's okay if you unfollow me again because my blog is all over the place and super chaotic and only some of it is LotR blorbo art. I don't want to clog up your feed with things irrelevant to you, so you absolutely don't need to keep following me. We can still be mutuals (I'd love that), I just don't want you to feel like you have to follow me out of Mutual Loyalty. I will keep seeing your stuff and interacting with it (as much as I can, sometimes I'm offline for some time, so I totally appreciate being messaged directly if you want me to see something or tell me something - I am not great at keeping up with everything on my own and there's no such thing as annoying me if you ever happen to want to drop by in my ask box or chat <3).

Yeah. I hope I didn't scare you off by word vomiting on you like that, I just didn't want you to feel obliged to follow me (even though I appreciated it) because my blog is genuinely a mess and probably not catered towards what you're on tumblr for. Of course you're also free to keep following me, I just feel a little bad if you're only doing it to be mutuals because that's really not necessary and, like, I said, I don't want to clog up your feed.

ANYWAY. 😅 I am looking forward to seeing more of my blorbos thanks to your blog and I hope you have a wonderful weekend ❤️

You are so kind and considerate to try and give me a heads up about your "mess" and you wonder why I follow you? 😂🫂 My friend, your beautiful soul shines through in your "chaos" and that is why I am happy to be Mutuals with you. I've already been able to reblog a couple of things from your content, so I'm definitely finding interesting stuff to share!

Interacting with Mutuals is my favorite thing to do on Tumblr, so finding and following new friends is a pleasure. Don't worry about "clogging up" my feed--keep doing as you do and I'll ride along! We'll have fun!

Have an awesome weekend as well!

[youre-ackermine]

Hi Val! Here are my honest thought about you:

From the first messages we exchanged, I knew we’d be friends. I love your taste in music and that you also love poetry. I think you’re considerate of others and you have a friendly, easy-going personality that makes people relaxed around you.

You’re smart, creative, and fun! I hope this new year will be an incredible one for you. ✨♥️

Oh Sailor jfkrsjfkrsjfkrs 😳😌

Thank you so much for your message & the positive portrait ; it means a lot to me as I feel the same about you, Bestie 🫂

We have a lot in common while being so different.

I really appreciate our conversations & I'm glad we found each other, as your positive, cheerful & friendly personality brings light & joy to my day with every message !

I also see you as generous, kind, loving & caring. I admire the multi-talented artist in you (I'd kill just to hear you sing one day). You're also reliable, thoughtful, persevering -I think- & fun to be around ; enjoying life, its beauty & simple pleasures, is also one of your strengths imo !

Next year will be great as our friendship grows 🥰

I wish you the best 😘

[tordenvejr]

Hi Vic, I was wondering if you have any advice for me. So this year in August I connected with a man and we had a very nice connection right away. At the time I was really struggling with my mental health and sexuality and it was all too much for me so I told him honestly but he didn't respond and we had no contact for quite a while. Then we matched on a dating app and started talking again. It was really nice but still things didn't feel right for me and he kept leading things to sex while I didn't want that. So I cut things off again and now we haven't spoken since. I have been thinking about him a lot lately and I want to reach out and reconnect but I'm scared to. We never met irl and I wish we would have, I feel like I didn't give the connection a real chance and I want to give it another try. Do you think I should reach out to him and talk? Or should I move on even though I've tried but just can't seem to let it go and can't stop thinking about it?

There is a lot more to the story but I don't wanna make this too long so that's about the gist of it. Thank you so much in advance, I really really appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day 🫂🩷🌱

hi 🍯🐃 from what i can read here it sounds like there wasn't much capacity for you outside of your sexuality, and not much consideration for your journey within your sexuality/respect for your lack of wanting to connect through that at the time. as well as there not being care when you were being vulnerable about your mental health challenges. with all of this in mind, is it a connection you want to revive? and is it a connection if you're the only one putting in all the vulnerability/communication only to be met with silence or more pressure? i think also remain aware that not being able to stop thinking about someone or a relation doesn't necessarily mean it's right for you to get back with them - there can be many factors to that 💛 thank you, i wish you a blessed new year
