When you loved a movie so much you based an entire character off of it.

Best Usagi+Misaki Moments (imo)

Yo back with this kind of post again!!!! The last part of the trilogy I guess?? (No!!!!!!!! D:)

Misaki ver: https://kuronokiseki.tumblr.com/post/617551810336555008/best-misaki-moments-imo

Usagi ver: https://kuronokiseki.tumblr.com/post/618193516175196160/best-usagi-moments-imo

Warning: Lots of large images again~ Plus my ramblings :v

Look someone is having a crush ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

I’m a strong believer that Misaki is the one who falls first and this is another evidence. I think the reason is because Usagi showed his true nature and it made Misaki fall in love ❤️ 🥺 The older played a big role in helping him getting to a top uni despite his Ds so I can understand how much that will mean alot to Misaki! And this extra chapter? It speaks alot abt Usagi’s kindness. The great lengths he went to make up with Misaki for comparing him with his crush. He pretended he just happened to be there, he apologized, prepared a scarf and hot buns for Misaki beforehand in case he was cold... Awww he’s so sweet how could Misaki not fall in love :”“(

I’m talking abt this!

I do want this plot point to be fleshed out more tbh. Of Misaki hating Usagi at first, then slowly exposed to his kind-hearted self like this and boom he’s in love~ 😳 Wouldn’t it make an interesting enemies-to-lovers? And Misaki pining for Usagi pining for Takahiro but all of them are clueless of this little love triangle hnnnggg I wanna see more of this dynamic

HAH you think I won’t include this scene despite already done in the previous versions no no no IT WILL BE A HUGE CRIME

I also strongly think that Misaki cried for Usagi not just bcs he was being Misaki, it’s also bcs of his love for him :”( How could you not think Misaki is already in love with Usagi when he was thinking “If only I could stay with this person forever. I want to become someone special to him...” and they can’t stop hugging each other (urgghhh the melodrama it hurts)

Imagine feeling heartbroken but you’re not the only one crying... And you’re not facing it alone...

Misaki im-not-gay-4-usagi Takahashi

I totally lost to him! But how can I not to that smiling face? >:////( - Misaki, the tsundere kween

“Not to Takahiro. Not to anyone.” :”“”“““O

Usagi - >:}

Misaki - >:///( 

Best quotes in a single panel

Misaki asking Usagi for a date :”““v

Usagi and Misaki having a disagreement

(argh why this pic is so smol) they’re being cute ^w^

Studio Deen didn’t animate this scene >:(

Usagi: *smiles*

Misaki: 😳 ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤 💔 ❣️ 💕 💞 💓 💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 

Annnnddd this scene is soooo much more emotional in the manga. The whole chapter is like a DOUBLE KILL and the fandom was tremendously shook when it first came out in 2012... Me too, was amazed at how superb the writing is, and in awe of how genius Nakamura is... (when handling Romantica lmao)

Haha brings back memories. This was back when we had to rely on scans translated from chinese to english. Even tho now I know how get my own copy and read it by myself, but I’m still thankful for the scanlation groups that never cease to exist and keep the fandom well fed :”( Big thanks to them!

ONCE AGAIN I HAVE NOTICED THAT THIS SCENE IS CHOU YABAIIII omigod look at how Misaki is drunk in pleasure and his lusty eyes looking at his hubby hngggg

THIS CHAPTER CAN BE A WHOLE MOVIE. IT’S SO GREAT. STUDIO DEEN EVEN THO IM DISAPPOINTED AT HOW S3 WENT BUT THANKS TO THE PLOT GETTING BETTER AND BETTER AND MISAKI IS THE FOOKIN MVP PLS MAKE S4 BCS THERE ARE PPL WHO WONT READ THE MANGA PLS PLS MAKE THEM SHOOOOK

That’s what you get for having an boyfriend yearsss older ;-)

Misaki giving Usagi a hj 👀 👀 👀 

I noticed that in future chapters, Misaki will do whatever Usagi tells him to during smex. Hmmm Usagi why don’t you teach him how to top or power bottom you in that way then ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) or at least, teach him HOW TO SUCC

This is an intense chapter but all I can think of is this panel like SIZE DIFFERENCEEEE

Usagi and Misaki’s “breakup“ XDDD and Misaki’s cute little hmph hmph omg how could I not love this boiii

Some ppl in the fandom: OMG USAGI DESERVES BETTER!!! MISAKI DOESNT RETURN HIS LOVE!!!! >:”“O LOOK AT MY POOR BOI NOT BEING APPRECIATED ENOUGH AND IS UNHAPPY WITH MISAKI >:”(

Usagi:

(But seriously, when this chapter first came out I dived into Mangago to see if anyone’s excited as me bcs of the great writing but nooooope ppl raging abt Misaki not saying I love you in s3 ep 9 which recently aired at that time... I’m going to make another list which is Worst Romantica Moments (imo) and voice my rants further there ._. )

HOLDING HANDSSSS

Look at how he had to bend down to kiss him haha Misaki so smol

SIZE DIFFERENCE AGAIN OMG IM LOVIN THEIR 1 FOOT HEIGHT DIFFERENCE

And shall I point out something up to debate? xD WHO REACHED TO HOLD HANDS FIRST

Misaki’s best christmas gift ;-;

Happily bantering ;;-;;

Oh Nakamura, pls dont end Romantica as soon Takahiro knows. I’m happy enough with fluffy chapters like this, them being sooo in love and happy with each other ;w;

KISSING WHILE STROKING EACH OTHERS’ HAIR AAAAAAAHHHHHH SO SOFT SO FLUFFY SO DUJQJDQQKWJDKHDUWQHDKWQD

And how can I not include this golden scene.

Misaki: (OMG USAGI-SAN’S PP HAS GROWN SO BIGGG >//A//<)

Usagi: ...Misaki y so tight

[queensofmystery]

every 4th question

*_* Thank you so much!!

(yall about to learn way too much about me I’m sorry)

4. name three authors that were influential to your work andtell why

Well since I’ve done a crap job of reading published fictionfor months, these authors haven’t been read for at least…seven months or morenow. But I still think about their work a lot:

Haruki Murakami: His books 1Q84 and The Wind-Up Bird Chroniclewere so beautiful to me—I know some think he’s overrated (and I haven’t readKafka on the Shore I’m afraid to) but those two books are so many things I loveabout fiction—aspects of magical realism, rich sensory details, and justlengthy prose that is never boring to me. So much of the fantastical is in hiswriting, so many strong images coupled with emotions, it’s just a joy to readhim, and I try to put some similar level of strong imagery in my work partlybecause of his influence I think.

Jean M. Auel: I read her Earth’s Children series when I was13, again when I was 18, and since I was 22 I’ve been really wrapped up in it,though not as heavily as I was seven months ago—I still think about it a lotand miss the protagonist, who’s been a huge comfort to me over the years. Itinfluenced my first college major (anthropology) and was the strongestinfluence on my passion to be a writer. Her prose is also rich in detail, butmore in a “textbook” kind of way which I think most readers found boring, but Iloved it, it helped me get wrapped up in the prehistoric world Auel builds.Also gave me a passionate love for strong women healers who are independent yetstill multi-faceted. :) (sound familiar?)

Hayao Miyazaki: He’s most well-known as a director ofseveral beautiful animated films from Japan. But in 2012 I read his mangaNausicaa of the Valley of the Wind and honestly it changed my life. Anotherstrong woman as a protagonist, and also such a beautiful message behind theentire work taken as a whole. Only added fuel to the fire of my passion forpost-apocalyptic narratives, which influences my original fantasy writing alot. But also that manga is so much about transformation, and compassion, andthe strength of humanity, I feel like I try to put that strength in all mycharacters in some way, even in fanfiction. Nausicaa is such a beautifulcharacter in so many ways…I could write an essay (kind of have already but it’sjust a messy ramble and over three years old now lol).

8. what time are you most productive?

Umm unfortunately either right before I eat dinner (I’m notsuper hungry in the evenings, I only eat to take my medicine, and I hate howtired eating dinner usually makes me) or really late at night after I’ve wokenup from an unplanned nap. On weekends I love to get writing done in themornings, between a small breakfast and just some snacks for lunch, but thatdoesn’t happen as often as I want.

12. favorite place to write

On my bed with my cat next to me (the only place I’m ever onmy laptop honestly)

16. easiest verse to write

Is this referring to universe as in what fandom do I mostprefer to write in?? I hope I’m reading that right…if not you can correct me!But obviously rn I only write for Elementary…but I hope to explore fantasy AUs,including Pacific Rim and His Dark Materials! And of course my vampire AU whichwill be so so exciting for me to write… I just love fantasy, so I suppose that’seasiest for me.

If my mind is playing tricks on me and this question isreferring to POV or tense…I’m really confused.

20. favorite character to write

Well this one’s obvious…Joan Watson. I’ve projected myselfon her an embarrassing amount really, but also she inspires me. I’m so happythat I took the plunge and finally started writing fanfiction because of her.

24. favorite scene you’ve ever written

I haven’t written a lot of fic yet, but my favorite that I’veposted online is…The First Night. It’s the most I’ve gotten into Joan’s head Ithink, that’s probably why I like it so much. And it’s just the tip of theiceberg of all the closure fic I want to write (I guess others call it fix-itfic but I see closure fic as a bit different than fix-it) which is why I was sodriven to write fanfiction in the first place (for the first time ever, it was so scary).

28. worst review you ever got

Everyone commenting on my fics has been so kind! I have nocomplaints in that area! But I will say there was this workshop in college…ohit was a dark time. Anyone ever have those writing professors who just abhorgenre fiction and look down on it and of course all you want to write is genrefiction and ugh…Well I wrote a story with two vampires who were enemies, andthe protagonist I was writing, the ideas for her were in their infant stagesand I just took a risk…and it didn’t pay off. Everyone was confused, no one hadanything good to say…that I remember. It was no fun.

32. alternate title for (insert story title)

Since you didn’t choose a title I will choose one myself!>_

36. one-shot or multi-chaptered story?

To read? Multi-chaptered story all the way. I love lengthystories, I will gobble them up every time if it’s characters/pairings I love!But this doesn’t mean I dislike one-shots, I love one-shots. I love both reallyI can’t say I have a strong preference for multi-chapter, I just have alwaysloved long stories, I love spending a long time with characters and gettingcloser to them that way.

To write? Sad to say I suck at plot so one-shots are mydeal. Or vignettes, if we want to be flattering. (I’m sure there’s a differenceI just haven’t learned it yet.)

40. which one of your stories would you most like to see asa movie/series

*shuffles feet* Love Is Touching Souls (which is a WIP but Ihave several chapters planned) It would give me so much closure and thegreatest joy to see my Elementary AU played out on screen by the beautifulactors…(sans Mycrosoft of course we all know I hate him…except that moment whenJoan smacks him the face. Which is what really happened in 2x23.)

44. do you write linear or do you write future scenes if youfeel like it?

So far I prefer to write linear, but I’m so impatient andfrustrated with myself because of that…I feel like I can never get enough done!I do a lot of planning…and if I feel really strongly about a scene I’ll write asuper rough draft or a snippet of it. Several of my WIPs just popped up thatway…including most of Love Is Touching Souls.

48. three spoilers for (insert story title)

Well, uh, you get spoilers for the future chapters of LoveIs Touching Souls cuz that’s the only long fic I have going! (Besides the Vegasfic which I will never abandon I stg it’s just on hold!)

Spoiler 1 involves the roof of the brownstone post 3x24.(will never be as good as @disheveledcurls‘ “and miles to go before I sleep” - please go read it if you haven’t and comment she deserves it - but I had to tryand express my paltry headcanons, it’s the least Joan and Sherlock deserve fromme)

Spoiler 2 will involve Joan discovering Moriarty’s lettersand deep discussion with Sherlock about the difference between Joan andMoriarty, which y’know we really should’ve gotten in the show I mean c’mon.

Spoiler 3 involves Joan in Peril because I have to write itokay I have to. It was one of the first stories I came up with actually (afterthe very first fic I ever started that should be chapter 3 of LITS, whichinvolves Sherlock in Peril so I just love writing my faves getting hurt I’mmean. But I also love Joan in Dr. Watson Mode so I couldn’t resist).
