Finished watching Melody of Golden Age (fantastic show, I highly recommend!!!) and pretty much since the beginning I've been imagining a MadaTobi AU, so:

Madara is the head of the imperial guards (or whatever the Edo Japanese equivalent is, Idk (samurai?)), and Tobirama works just as a clerk at the Ministry of Justice (or again, the equivalent of it). He mostly does the autopsies even though his intellect makes him an excellent investigator that he could even be the chief inspector - he just prefers to be among the dead bodies.

For his fantastic work and loyalty, the Damiyou bestows Madara with a marriage to the firstborn son of the Senju family. The Damiyou is so kind to take Madara's sexuality into account and it's said, that the firstborn Senju is a beauty among men, a connoisseur of music, poetry, art and dance, a very refined man who'd be perfect for someone like Madara.

It's very unlucky then, that just a few hours before that Hashirama disappeared to elope with the love of his life - Uzumaki Mito. Even worse, following the Damiyou's letter another one by one of the Damiyou's advisors arrives, ordering the firstborn Senju who's to marry Madara to spy on him (or else.)

Tobirama is none of those things Hashirama is being praised for, but he still steps up to take on his role and save his family from impending doom. Unfortunately for him, Madara knows Hashirama from their childhood days and is perfectly aware that Tobirama is not the firstborn child he is to marry. Fortunately for him, though, Madara holds fond feelings for his childhood friend and won't snitch him out and risk him being executed.

Neither of them wants this marriage. But neither can refuse. Madara was all but ordered to and the Senju were all but threatened with their lives if they were not to follow through. Which is why they desperately try to get the other one to divorce him.

Madara - and under his order, the rest of the Uchiha residence - tries to terrify the hell out of Tobirama, constantly holding his sword close to Tobirama's neck and threatening him. And while Tobirama absolutely thinks Madara to be a madman, he is confident Madara won't kill him - he'd have to face the Damiyou's wrath otherwise. So he stands his ground and instead tries to irritate Madara into divorce by bringing the whole residence into chaos with petty tricks like making a mess of Madara's office, eating in their shared bed which drives Madara up a wall, cooking Madara's food too spicy, extinguishing the lanterns during the night...

None of it works but it doesn't stop them from trying. Meanwhile, they also begin to collaborate on big cases. It's the investigations they work on together that bring them closer, rather than their marital bed because for all they can't stand the other one, they can acknowledge the other's intellect.

It takes Tobirama way too long to figure out Madara has so many lanterns alighted at night because he suffers from night blindness. Once he does figure out, he puts all his focus into sciencing a cure. Because he likes the challenge, not because he cares or anything...

Madara on the other hand is aware Tobirama is here to spy on him (and Tobirama is aware that Madara knows... doesn't change the fact that he somehow has to) and yet never rattles him out. Totally only because of Hashirama and not because he worries what'd happen to Tobirama if he were to...

And if Tobirama's spying notes only consist of Madara's meal schedule rather than any useful information ("Oh, well, what can I do? Madara is very careful and will not let me get close to any of his work lalala"), and if Madara changes the residence more and more to Tobirama's liking and even has a lab built for him? Well, then that means nothing. it's not like they're falling in love or something, noooo....

Anyway, in the end they solve a major case, save the Damiyou's life, expose the counselor who wanted Madara to be spied on and live happily after. The End

Thinking about Naruto being the one to scratch Sasukes Hitai-ate and to push him away from Konoha.

Like if you came across a person who is struggling to tell right from wrong and is slowly moving towards the darkness what would you do?

A) listen to all of their worries and try in every way possible to help them in a way that benefits the both of you. Attempt to understand their side and their story and don't try to place yourself in a situation you don't know about.

B) Threaten to beat the shit out of them break all their bones and drag them back.

Now if you were a very morally black person and you came across someone struggling to tell right from wrong slowly moving towards the darkness what would you do?

A) listen to all of their worries and try in every way possible to help them in a way that benefits the both of you. Attempt to understand their side and their story and don't try to place yourself in a situation you don't know about.

B) Threaten to beat the shit out of them break all their bones and drag them to you.

Like OF COURSE Sasuke left everyone in Konoha is an idiot like??? Even Kakashi tying Sasuke up could be seen as violent like. Mate tf u doing he's 13 and questioning if he should run away and get used as a human puppet HELP HIM?????

Everything everyone Sasuke knew was doing was pushing him away from Konoha.

Well Critters it's Bells Hells Live Show Day! That snuck up on us quickly didn't it? Felt almost like a few weeks ago that they announced it!

Alas, being across the pond (also tomorrow's Father's Day in the UK) I will have to wait for the VOD, sitting here with my usual Thursday night doses of anticipation, imagination and anxiety, but I hope all that are attending have a great night. So much can happen, so much stuff I want to happen too but ofc some things are long shots - anyone who looks at my feed can tell what I want to happen let's be honest, and there'll be dress up and whatever beyond extra entrance Sam has planned to make his anticipated and grandiose return.

So sing the intro loud, tag your live spoilers just in case, do creepy whispers if Laudna performs a Sending, tell them to stop it if they sneeze, and most of all enjoy the show!

You know how Evoloution is the Youthful Naturalist's ambition?

I wonder if it'd be possible to rewrite it as if the Naturalist was a player doing a preset ambition. Like how someone plays, say, the "Bag a legend" ambtion etc.

I'll probably work on this the moment I get time because it seems like a fun project tbh.

after top surgery, they give you that compression vest you have to keep on for a week straight or whatever, except to change gauze pads. it was stiff as all heck and did feel quite a bit like a chestplate.

very difficult to sleep in. u_u

i am FERAL i am GAY i occasionally get fixated on literary classics(?) but thats OKAY

[theytry]

i do not ship warren & nathan whatsoever ( i just don’t think warren is nathan’s type -- and nathan is extremely picky about men ) but i heavily enjoy their dynamic energy in the sense that these two should fight often. full on wrestle. literally headbutt each other forever. i’m vaguely interested in a reluctant, slowburn friendship as well depending, but it is a dynamic that would come after many beatdowns.

how do you tell if problems are 1) life being not perfect bc we live in a fallen world 2) correction from God for sinning 3) trial from God for growth 4) spiritual warfare

asking for a friend

i need to retire my current Wraith and Silco text tones because they've started cheese grating my brain, so i'll characteristically probably make some of Stein soon. Saying this here to ask if anyone would be interested in the files I make and what quips y'all would request. Preferably lines without background music, but i might be able to work around those too cause yeesh theres a lot of music in soul eater, i'll be realistic

on this note i keep thinking at work, "And then I thought, those two have found a love that is sure to last forever..." and subsequently, more poignantly, his ruthlessly delivered, "I know."

the potential is always endless. for example, my general text tone is "Here to ambush me, [Jayce]?" and tones for friends is "Nice of you to join me" and "You're really one of a kind, [Mirage]!" the sound for my work is "Have they had enough?"

[sprontisdabest]

does anyone have any idea how i can slow down my brain? i need to sleep but the voices are too loud

[shock-micro]

in stars and time having the repeated line (You breathe in, and out.) has done wonders for my mental state. like i never really saw the importance of breathing exercises, but having learned a way helps center me when stress is high and keeps things stable otherwise

not only bc of the breathing itself but also bc it gives me a specific thought to hone in on instead of whatever's making me worry!

i actually made the line my status on discord, and one of my friends mentioned it helped them remember to do it too?
