You know what's really a heartbreaking fact that's just too painful for me ...
Natsume's inability to picture or comprehend a "Happy Reiko" :/
He so desire and wish to see her truly happy for once in her life since all he saw of her was her tragic and lonely life as of yet ..
Which's why I find it painful that even when he ACTUALLY see a trully happy Reiko he always goes "I don't know this person" or "funny that she reminded me of Reiko"
He saw her like this 2 times .. yet in both he never seen her as Reiko .. the first time was in hazy dream without her signature school uniform .. so in a way that's understandable
Yet in the recent chapter the picture was clearly Reiko no "what if" about it but he can't register her as such .. because he can't picture it ..
Maybe in a way he's protecting himself unconsciously because as I said he so desire this deeply .. so if he was mistaken and this isn't Reiko in the end .. the emotional damage would be heavy for him. that's why he's doubtful and always plays the "remind me of Reiko" without him realizing it himself and only hold his wishful thinking ...
And in both cases Madara wasn't there to either confirm or deny it for him ..
I even don't know if Natsume is ready for whatever await him regarding Reiko's past .. will he survive the hidden truth ??
Maybe because he isn't yet.. his inner self is protecting him like this ..

Ego Death with the help of this anime: An essay
Natsume Yuujinchou is a grounding anime and can help us achieve ego death. How? It makes us experience the true lives and ways of people who are powerful but never letting their ego come over their daily lives, to the point that us viewers forget about ego altogether.
In shounen, we are always presented with characters who are or will be powerful, and their entire story revolves around their abilities. There is also a group of side-commenters who narrate their greatness. Even when they are pure hearted, the story surrounds the power system, making us think, "cool power, cool personality, I wanna be like them," or " I like this character because they're powerful and their personality stands out." Such thoughts focus on ego. Not to generalize all, but some heavy fans of shounen do end up having ego problems like hidden-god complex or superiority complex.
Here comes Natsume. Like most Slice of Life protagonists, his line of thoughts are wholesome, and so are the people around him (the present timeline). Since his thoughts focus on kindness, empathy, compassion, and forgiveness, we forget that he is actually powerful, and is the heir of a forbidden name-binding book. We do not focus on who he is, we do not focus on his powers, we do not focus on what people think about him. We focus on the story of his cases and sometimes cry about them. Instead of 'wishing to have his cool powers and cool personality' or revering him for it, we wish to see his happiness and the happiness of the ayakashis he helps. We forget wanting this and that, we forget about the concept of "I".
They say it is impossible to completely lose your ego, but there are a few who ironically brags losing their ego.
I read a book of an apparent "Spiritual Guru", and more than half of the book only talks about himself, and how great his findings are, and how he invented the concept of the 8th chakra etc etc. His spiritual journey was in Shounen Protagonist perspective, adventuring to find out cool powers and gaining cool personalities that made him meet these people who always tell him how cool he is. His methods are questionable. And oh, he has expensive online classes to create exclusivity.
Well, most modern 'Spiritual Books' are like this, and I've seen people who start their spiritual journeys with these books spiral down more, and gain more massive ego.
Ego Death was almost impossible when you deliberately search for it 😭😭😭 First of all, living in a society full of ego, we literally have no idea how it feels like.
And then I returned to my childhood anime out of nowhere, and understood it in context. Instead of focusing on labels, (like division of groups, sects, powers, ranking, emblems, etc.) it focuses on purpose. Instead of focusing on self-identity, it focuses on compassion. It treats those labels as a side-note rather than a serious world-building. You don't have to wish to be a hokage or a hero to help the many. You don't have to be on Top to offer a helping hand. The simple daily formula of living life with nature and friends and help those in need if (and only if) you can is a simple path to Ego Death.
To accept simplicity and humility. To accept peaceful isolation. To accept a world of no praises. To accept that you can live a life without labeling anything. To accept that you can exist in this realm without a source of pride.
Only in the simple world of Natsume Yuujinchou did I get the idea of living without a tinge of ego.

2. i'll work it physical (m)
+ based off nsfw prompts: 28.  “I’ll make it worth your time.” & 15.  “Wanna bet?”
read: part one
note: I am a glutton for horny idiot stories. Even better when they feed off each other’s energy so bad it’s just like…. Constant enabling. GOADING. That’s the word!!!! I listened to loveeeeeee song by rihanna the whole time writing this if ur into that :3
note 2: This fic is just pure indulgence of oc and gojo's party sexcapades before all those *feelings* get involved heheheheh
PAIRING. gojo/reader SETTING. college au WARNINGS. stupid ex girlfriends, good ol' fashioned fingerbang in a bathroom SUMMARY. He’ll make you forget about her.
Tumblr media
You didn’t cry when Emi broke up with you. She was always taciturn, and it’s not as if you were completely blindsided, either. You’ve always had a nose for disinterest. She’d stopped responding to your good night texts those last few weeks you were together, kept canceling Wednesday cafe dates where you’d play footsies to distract her from doing homework. Maybe you’d reached a threshold. Footsied her to annoyed oblivion, but she always laughed whenever you did it. 
Throwing away an almost-one year relationship, though. You couldn’t lie through the sting in your eyes when you got back to your dorm that night. Not when Natsume’s a nosy bitch who has to know every minute detail of your life. You collapsed into a fit of half-sobs because you refused to be too distraught over someone who couldn’t find the time for you anymore. That’s lazy, Natsume said into your hair. You always liked when she petted your head for comfort. She let you sleep next to her while you wallowed in post-break up misery. I’ll punch her the next time I see her.
That was two months ago. Two months since you’ve seen Emi’s dyed-blonde head, the pretty dimples that came with her smile. It changes tonight.
Sigma Phi is never cheap with their ragers. Neither you or Natsume are in a sorority but you’d be dumb to miss out on sponsored alcohol and free cool ranch Doritos. The house is the tallest on Greek row, all high ceilings and shiny wooden banisters. The kitchen is where you keep comfortable. Away from the strawberry smoke, sticky floors everywhere you take a step. You’re waiting for Satoru to get you your soju when you see Emi walk through the front door.
Her roots are growing out. She’s got glitter on her eyelids, a shiny neck with the scented oil she uses because she’s always hated using perfume. If you step close enough you know she’ll smell like rose petals. Like the sailor’s bewitched limbs twitching with every sweet note of that siren’s song, you’re almost taking a step forward to follow her further into this stupid loud party.
As if he’s cued, Satoru gets in the way with two red cups in hand. “No yogurt soju so I got orange instead. Mixed it with orange soda so it’s ultra mega orange shit. Why the hell are you tiptoeing? You’re like two feet tall.”
“Shut up.” You make a grab for the cup he offers you, tipping back a generous gulp for a show of thanks. “It’s—I saw someone. I think.”
He swivels around. “Who?”
“My ex.” You almost flinch at the term. Moreso at the thought of Satoru calling you bitchless than having lost someone you genuinely cared for.
“Didn’t know you had one.” His eyebrows are furrowed with confusion, leaning back against the counter. He flicks an annoyed hand at the stale chips scattered everywhere. 
“It’s. Yeah. She wasn’t really around to show face towards the end, so.”
“What’s her name?” 
You could think of a million but you don’t feel like spitting venom. You’ve got your distraction for the night. You hope Satoru notices you’re wearing your shortest skirt. “Emi.”
“Emi? Utada Emi or Hirano Emi?”
“The first one.” How he knows more than one is beyond you. Satoru hums at your confirmation.
“She’s in my aerodynamics class,” he says. “What happened?”
“I don’t—I don’t really wanna talk about her.” Because if you do, you’ll probably start thinking about how she made your pillows smell good with that fresh linen scent. Or how she left you little origami cranes on your desk. Or the way she sounded in the morning with drool stuck to her chin—
“Oi.” Satoru snaps his fingers in front of your face. “You good? Sorry I asked.”
“It’s fine. Or. Not really. Whatever.” You finish your drink with record speed. Anxiety crawls through your chest, makes you wonder what the hell Emi could be doing here. Or who she could be doing here. Suddenly you think about an empty room, her clumsy feet traipsing up those carpeted stairs. Looking at someone else with doe eyes like she did when she wanted you on top of her. You crush the red plastic in your hand.
“Satoru,” you say blankly. 
He’s not even halfway done his drink. “Uh huh.”
“Do you know how to make a girl come in five minutes?”
“Depends.” He levels you with a curious stare. Like he’s bracing himself for whatever you’ve got for a challenge. “Can I use my hands?”
“Whatever body part you want.”
“Then yes. Who’s asking?”
“Wha–who the hell else?” You hiss. “You finishing that?”
Satoru looks down at his cup, then back up at you. And when he doesn’t immediately respond you just swipe at his hand to guzzle down the ultra mega orange shit. It’s not half-bad. A sweetness easy to swallow, not like the Casamigos he took with Suguru earlier. 
You let the dizziness settle. Satoru stares you down. “I’ll do it in two,” he says. “Wanna bet?”
It’s cryptic. And then you remember what you asked him. You squirm with the heavy suggestion. 
“Bathroom,” you order, and Satoru leads the way first.
Natsume’s sitting pretty at the bottom step of the stairs. She’s got a blunt pinched gently in her mouth, lights up with her inhale when she sees you. She dims into gossip when you come up to her. “Oh my god. Did you see–”
You nod, not that keen on hearing her name when you’re off to forget it. Satoru skips past and up two steps at a time with nothing more than a hey roomie. Natsume’s mouth quirks up in acknowledgment.
“Don’t scream too loud. Or do anyway. I can’t feel my fucking fingers from the music.” 
She slaps your ass when you pass her. “Take a shot with me after,” you call. Natsume winks. Satoru’s got the bathroom door wide open for you to walk through when you catch up.
For a frat, the space is clean. No nasty caulk jobs and the toilet paper holder’s actually full. You’ve got no time for more analysis when Satoru slams you against the door. “Jesus,” you groan.
He swallows what little else you have for complaint. His mouth is sweet on yours, coaxing your tongue for taste. “Nice skirt by the way.”
Satoru’s hands are greedy where they pull. Cupped under your jaw, teasing a touch on either side of your tits, then right down to your ass where he squeezes. Hard. 
“Keep going,” you mumble. Biting down on his lip when he grips you tighter, and you feel the coarse rut of his boner when he presses you harder against the door. “God. Get me wet.”
“I’ll make it worth your time.” He breathes wet kisses on your neck. Sucking deep till you twitch in simmering pleasure. 
“You fuckin’ better.”
He sneers in response. But he kisses you like he’s just as electrified. Needy for whatever high he’s promising to deliver on, and you want it fast. He juts into you, lifts your leg around his hip just to get the angle right. 
“Okay. Fuck–just.” You take his hand, fit it snug where your panties ride up on your pussy. He laughs against your teeth.
“Get me wet,” he mocks, playing with the arousal you just denied. You blush. Desperate measures. You’re glad your body responds to his this quick. Only to your detriment, because he knows you’re terrible at bluffing, and now he’s laughing at you. “You’re funny. Two minutes?”
He circles your clit with a rough finger. Too much, not enough. In the haze of your muddled head, the visual is enough to spark that heat. You’ve always liked his hands. There’s something about seeing it disappear under your skirt, like you’ve got something to hide. You offer a moan when he teases a finger inside.
Satoru leans a hot mouth into your ear. “Your girl ever get you like this?”
Your eyes are wide open. From his provocation, and now he’s got one finger snug up your pussy. “Oh my god.”
“You don’t need to answer,” he teases. “I know she didn’t.”
“You–” He sets a slow rhythm. Deep where it counts, grinding the palm of his hand till you moan from your chest. “You’re evil.”
Again. He knows you’re bluffing. That wet sound every time he moves is proof enough. You’re just talking because you’re not embarrassed anymore. You’ll let him have his way with it if it means you don’t have to think about anything else.
“Don’t be shy,” he prods.
Another finger, this time with less drive. You buzz from the intrusion. Knocking your head back on the door when he bottoms out, absolutely not shy with the sounds you’re making. Satoru kisses you into muted excitement. 
You don’t think he’s timing it. You sure as hell aren’t. As if you were ever scared he wouldn’t deliver. “Go faster,” you urge. This is probably one of the only two bathrooms available for use. You could at least taint it quicker than anyone else can.
“Cute. I like when you’re bossy.” You initiate a kiss this time. Slipping tongue and an indulgent moan down his throat, and that’s what spurs him on. 
His drive is back. Drawing out more wetness with earnest fingering, the guttural noises straight from your gut. Your eyes roll back with the feeling, heat unfurling faster than the blood trying to reach your fucked out brain. 
“Fuck, oh my god.” Your fingers curl into his biceps. “That's–yeah, oh my god I’m. Close–!”
He crowds you in again, forehead on your sweaty one. Nothing to say, letting your panting do all the talking for the both of you. His fingers hook into every wet spot, ramming the edge of his hand on your clit till it’s battered into ultra-sensitivity. You twitch with his every move. 
“You better fuckin’ come over tonight,” Satoru groans. You’ll look down at that hard dick later. You know he’s fostering the pain with quiet lips. How considerate. 
“W-Whatever. Yes I’ll–just–oooh fuck.” He’s jacked the speed to eleven. No more pretense of easing you into it. The sound is enough to get you off, wet thrust for wet thrust. “Satoru,” you whine.
He kisses your nose. “Hmm?”
“If I squirt it’s on you,” you warn.
“You say that like a threat.” He shows no sign of stopping, too. He’s impatient with anticipation, and you’re fading fast. “You’ll give it to me?”
You were kidding. Sort of. It’s not off the table. All you know is the heat is building and you’re about to explode. “Ye-es!”
“So do it,” he presses. 
He curls his fingers with every sharp jut against your core. You hang your head low, letting that high come to you, and you unfurl with the release. Shaking through a tiring orgasm, clawing tight on Satoru while you squeal. “Oh fuck.”
He’s relentless with the come down. Drawing out those waves with taut fingers, focusing deep. You don’t squirt but his wrist is disgustingly wet. 
“You’re hot,” he says when you drop your leg. You slump against him with a groan. “Look. Prune fingers.”
You don’t look but you know he’s wiggling them. Always in awe with what he can do to you when you’re down for it. You’ll let him bask in your orgasmic glory, because you’re just as good as getting him undone.
“Yeah yeah. Let’s get back, I wanna see Natsume before we leave.”
You shift your skirt till it's decently covering your ass again. Satoru washes his hands. You both ignore the bulge in his sweatpants.
Then someone knocks on the door.
You think you’ve always believed in fate. Some cosmic divinity keeping a watchful eye on whatever energy waves you’re spreading out into the universe. Because when Satoru opens the door for you, it’s Emi, and she’s looking disheveled, but not in a good way.
A pang of sympathy echoes in your chest. Your fingers twitch forward, already thinking of how to move her hair behind her ear.
Satoru beats you to a greeting.
“You look like shit,” he jests.
Emi ignores him. Stares right at you, and your breath stutters. You’re not as taken by her beauty, this time. Not when she shot you down, dug her heel into your heart, got it all muddy. You grab Satoru's hand. He doesn’t say anything when you curl your fingers into his.
“Take care of yourself,” is all you croak out. This time, it’s you leaving her behind.
Natsume’s gone from her bottom perch. You don’t feel like finding her anymore. Satoru keeps you close to him when you walk back downstairs.
He stops you when you don’t stop walking towards the front door. For the second time tonight, he asks: “You good?”
You shake your head. “No. But we’re going back to your place. Distract me some more.”
Satoru’s smile is wicked in its suggestion. “I can do that,” he confirms.
He doesn’t let go of your hand the whole way back to his dorm.

Just came from reading the latest chapter of COS. And after screaming and crying my head out in different directions, all I have to say is... You are an amazing writer and I have faith in you.
Like we got glimpses into Naruto's mentality and disastrous coping mechanisms and the frustrations and hurt simmering between both the twins. This coupled with that horrendous heir contract for Natsume looming in the future has set up a tense stage.
But. Naruto already has grown leaps and bounds compared to how he was in canon at this stage. And I don't mean it solely in terms of skill level. So tbh with the way you are exploring and gutting canon I won't be surprised if he were to grow up even further emotionally as a person.
Cuz let's be honest- the moment Naruto chose to continue to love Konoha, after knowing every fucked up thing they did to Sasuke... I knew his character was being stagnated. To the point I was baffled when Yami Naruto came and Naruto actually got furious at his mom being exported from Uzu to be made into a Jinchuuriki. He is optimistic like Minato (in the sense of knowing how the world is shit but choosing to love it anyways), but mostly because of his horrifically low self esteem and unhealthy coping behaviours (which ok I understand. Cus the choice is between bad and worse). The brainwashing in his academy years and the way the public treated him has just fed into the mindset of rationalising away everything bad and the idea that he is the problem. Vs. Natsu is cynical like Kushina.
Coming back, Naruto's reaction regarding his Mom...makes me think that...when he will learn and understand the full depth of the shit Natsume was put through....he is gonna have a reaction similar to Sasuke (not sure about the I wanna raze Konoha to ground part though lol)
I have a feeling that canon is going to be thoroughly thrown off its rails by the time Shippuden were to arrive (or maybe even before that). Cuz Naruto and Natsume can have their growth arcs, if they are still stuck in the village that is hurting them and leeching off them
This was a brilliant chapter!!
First off, thanks for reading and all your thoughts! I’m glad this chapter was suitably scream-worthy lol. I’ve been trying my best to add in realism outside of the general canon-divergence, because as much as I love the nostalgia of Naruto, it’s lacking a bit when it comes to character depth, a sense of intimacy in relationships (of any kind), and just that good, slow burning build of friendship and maturity.
There’s going to be a lot more divergence ahead! That’s really all I can say tbh! I fear they’ve been trapped in stagnation for too long, it’s time for shit to hit the fan….

SHINSEKAI - Magicians of ES: Chapter 12
Location: ES Idol Exclusive Inn  Characters: Mika, Natsume & Seiya
< At the same time in the ES idol exclusive inn. >
Tumblr media
Mika: I’m sorry, Sora-kun… for makin’ you look after me while I’m feelin’ sick.
You didn’t want to be apart from your senpais in “Switch”, right?
Sora: HaHa~♪ Sora’s okay~ My senpais from “Switch” isn’t with me right now, but my senpai from “Ba-barrier” is.
Mika: Ahaha. “Ba-barrier” hasn’t been active at all, huh…
It was a temporary unit created durin’ the Saga project and “Lilith” is about the only unit that’s regularly active, right?
Sora: Yes. Everyone is busy so they tend to be super busy with their original units?
Besides, Sora is used to killing time by himself and Sora won’t get anxious if he’s always left on his own. It feels lonely but Sora can bear with it.
Mika: I knew someone like that back in my hometown. I was like that too.
On the other hand, people who get anxious unless they’re always communicatin’ with others might become dependent on that sorta thing.
They might become addicted to that pounding feelin’ they feel in their hearts whenever they talk to someone.
That’s the taste of somethin’ kids “like us”, who couldn’t get to experience that in our childhood, will never be able to enjoy.
Sora: HiHi~♪ Sora and Mika-chan-san are the same?
Mika: I don’t know if we’re the same but I think our preferences are similar… So that’s maybe why we feel anxious when we’re away from our senpais.
I’d understand that Oshi-san is in Paris but I’d still end up searchin’ for him around me.
Like when I wake up and find that Oshi-san isn’t nearby, I feel so anxious I wanna cry.
Sora: HuHu~♪ You’re like a baby~
Mika: It’s a secret, though. If Oshi-san finds out, he might feel sorry about the fact that he’s always gone overseas.
Oshi-san really wanted to immerse himself in the art he likes there.
I can’t make him change his life just because of how I feel.
Sora: Yes. Sora knows what you’re talking about. Sora is the same~ It doesn’t look like most people would understand, though.
Master~ and Senpai are always trying to do something for Sora, but Sora is fine so Sora wants them to do something more worthwhile.
Sora feels sorry that they have to use their time and feelings for Sora’s sake.
Mika: I know what you mean~ If we told them we’re used to being left alone, I’m sure they’d only get more worried, though.
Sora: Yes. No one can be happy by saying that~
What we can do is become strong enough for them to not worry about us. To grow up into an impressive person so that they’ll be convinced we’re really fine when we tell them.
That’s why we have to be grown-ups quickly, otherwise, they’ll never be able to let go of their children~♪
Mika: Ahaha. Yeah, it really makes you think how dotin’ a parent they can be… We’re not a bunch of kids and we’re certainly not so weak that we always need to be protected.
When will they come to realise that?
…Well, nothing I say right now has any weight to it ‘cause I’m here lyin’ here in bed, though.
Sora: It can’t be helped~ It seems “SSVRS” is too much for highly sensitive people?
When Sora also did the test play-through, Sora felt really dizzy and couldn’t walk properly for three days~
But there shouldn’t have been any issues if it was the device that was modified for Sora…
Mika-chan-san, if you also use one of the devices that’s exclusively made for you, then you probably won’t get sick~
Mika: Ahaha. I was dragged into it against my own will, so I couldn’t get those modifications done.
Sora: Yes. Sora is sorry you got sick because of us.
Mika: It’s fine. “SHINSEKAI” can be pretty fun once you get used to it and it was nice havin’ an opportunity to experience somethin’ special.
We’ll make good use of this experience and create even more glorious pieces of art.
Thanks to you, I also got to dabble in a bit of variety-styled stuff that I don’t usually get to do.
I’ve always been interested in it. Oshi-san doesn’t like it so it was difficult to find work like that, though.
It would be nice if Oshi-san started becomin’ interested in it through our experience of it this time.
It wouldn’t damage our art in any way. If anythin’, I hope it will broaden our horizons and heighten our understandin’.
Oshi-san can turn any negative emotion into a beautiful piece of art, so the concept of variety should be a piece of cake for him.
Seiya: Ahaha. How many times must you say “Oshi-san” for you to be satisfied? You’re violating your “order”.
You’re far too relaxed and “SS” has only just begun.
Mika: Woah, you gave me a fright! H-How long have you been there, Seiya Hidaka…-san?
Sora: S-Sora didn’t notice him, either~
Seiya: Your eyes aren’t as omnipotent as everyone makes them out to be, so you shouldn’t be too overconfident, Harukawa-kun. If you were a first-rate idol, I’m sure you would have no issues deceiving others.
Fufu. In any case, you don’t need to treat me like a stranger by calling me “Seiya Hidaka-san”. Just call me "Great Master" instead, Mika-kun ♪
Mika: My master is Oshi– Onii-chan and him only. Who are you? And why do you keep meddlin’ in my affairs?
Seiya: Well, it has something to do with both my hobby and practical benefits, but I suppose it’s just a little bit of fun. It’s true when I say I expect great things from you, Mika-kun.
You can become a super idol like me. You have the skills for it. Well, perhaps I’m simply mistaken on my end, though.
I’m a good judge of people, you see! The biggest “jackpot” I’ve landed is my wife, but I suppose it would be more accurate to say it was my wife who found me instead…♪
Mika: What’re you talkin’ about? Did you come here to talk about lovey-dovey stuff like that?
Seiya: No, no. I’ve come to ask you two for a favour.
Mika: A favour?
Seiya: Yes. There was some carelessness on our side, but a ghost of the past is trying to wake up.
It’s rather difficult for adults like us to handle it, so we’d like you children to use your young powers to cleanse it.
Adults who are abundant in both experience and wealth always tend to have the wrong idea about this, but in any era, it’s always the children who are stronger than the adults.
That’s because it’s you two – it’s the children who will shape the future.
Leave adults alone and they’ll fall to their deaths on their own, but it’s illogical to let them do as they please forever.
Mika: ………?

Rei thank you for the food i owe you my life 🫰
How about 4, 10, and 11 for afab Natsume? I wanna be so mean to that man
Tumblr media
Natsume Sakasaki Sub Breeding Kink Asks
(afab natsume, amab reader)
(4 and 10 combined)
4. Under the influence of aphrodisiacs, mind hazy and only able to think about getting fucked
10. Getting caught masturbating and being pushed down onto the mattress to have their wishes fulfilled
Natsume is the type to test homemade aphrodisiacs on himself when lacking a test subject, but when he accidentally makes a potent one, he’s touching himself so eagerly within minutes, underwear wet without him realizing. His mind just gets completely overtaken with lust, humping into his palm and whining more than he’d usually let himself.
He doesn’t even notice you walk in, too busy moaning your name and imagining you pleasing him until you spin him around to pin him to the bed, ripping his hand away to push your own fingers in. Though he might grit his teeth and refuse to admit he wants you, a good dicking down will make his moans loud and audible for once.
11. A few months pregnant, hormones still making them feel needy despite their swollen belly
Natsume is a huge brat when he’s pregnant, even more insufferable that usual when he doesn’t get what he wants. His hormone levels skyrocket and it’s easy to get tired of his demands, so punish him in a different way. Slap his wet cunt and make him cry out when he’s begging for you to please him, refusing to fuck him because he needs to keep the baby safe, doesn’t he? Grab his hips roughly but cup his baby bump gently. He’s such a whore he got himself knocked up, so punish him a bit more by spanking him until his ass is red, until he’s begging and drooling for cock.
(in case tumblr eats the last sentence)

miss harapeveco since we are in the topic of anime pls drop some recommendations I don’t have anything to watch 
Omg oks so I have a very shitty taste in anime so this will be a very disappointing list but the ones I mostly recommend are:
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun: literally every scene is funny and iconic, it also invented m/f yaoi don’t ask it makes sense
Owari no Seraph: I mean this very unironically this anime fucking sucks but in a good way like nothing is ever explained, nothing makes sense and they gaslight you into believing the main boys are gonna be endgame by showing you a homoerotic scene of blood drinking. Just roll with it and don’t ask questions it’s better that way
The Persona 3 movies and the Persona 4/5 anime: the movies are really good they did a good job condensing +80 hours of gameplay in 4 movies (except the third movie but we don’t talk about that). Now when it comes to the persona 4 anime you can tell they didn’t give a shit that thing is just 24 episodes full of jokes and comedy the game wishes it had holy shit it’s really funny for no reason. The persona 5 anime is more complex in the sense that it’s very unwatchable if you go to it expecting something good. It’s bad it’s very bad it’s poorly animated and rushed and it’s just borderline unwatchable but it is really funny if you wanna have a good laugh about how bad something is I recommend it
Osomatsu-san: the first episode of the first season being yeeted into oblivion bc it was very much illegal to show all of it makes it worth it. Keep in mind this is an adult show (even if it doesn’t look like it) so there’s a lot of crude humor and sex jokes but all the characters are such trashy people I like to see them suffer 
Kiss him not me: if you are a shipper this one is for you. Basically the MC is a yaoi obsessed fan girl who wants to see her classmates date each other yaoinly but they want to date her instead 
ID Invaded: really good anime with a really good mystery and plot! Main character did everything wrong but I still love him also Sou did the opening for it 
Happy sugar life: very fucked up horror about a high schooler in love with a literal child but it doesn’t go like you think it goes, they don’t portray it as romantic or cute they very much portray it as the fucked up thing it is and how wrong it is. It’s good if you like feeling unsettled and like to watch things go from 0 to 100 real fast
The promised neverland: amazing series with an amazing mystery and atmosphere! It’s a shame it only has one season tho I hope they make a second season of it in the future but it’s a shame it only has one
Dr stone: it has science, it’s horny, you have over the top characters, what more do you want
Natsume book of friends: you love to cry? You wanna cry after watching every single episode? Ofc you do! This shit will hit you in the gut so hard you will never recover. A beautiful story about acceptance, platonic love, found family and yokai with the best and most realistic character development I’ve ever seen 
Gegege no Kitaro: this one is very broad bc no kidding this anime gets a new adaptation every decade. There’s a 60s version, a 70s version, an 80s version, a 90s version, a 2007 version, a 2008 version that is more adult and follows the manga and a 2018 version too if you like recent stuff more. Most of these are lost media tho good luck trying to find any version that is not the 2018 one. I forgot about the plot of it yeh uhhh basically a kid ghost is a medium between humans and yokai but he mostly play favorites with the yokai and sometimes fucks the humans over so idk if he’s really a medium, he’s very biased about it
The dangers in my heart: I talked about this one before but I’m talking about it again idc. Really cute and wholesome the MC is kinda horny but he’s like 14 boys at that age are pretty horny we have to stop pretending they aren’t. The first 3 episodes are so cringe they are very painful to watch but if you can go through them you will witness what I think it’s the cutest romance after horimiya. I don’t usually read manga bc I have the attention span of a rock but even I did a binge read of it bc it was just so good
King’s game: edgier than shadow the hedgehog 2006, it’s painfully bad like I can’t even begin to explain how horrible this anime is but good lord it made me laugh all the way through 
Chuubyo gekihatsu boy: one of the main characters is a catboy called Rei Tsukumo and another character is a cringe Utaite what more can I say? It’s just dumb cringe kids being dumb as fuck for 12 episodes and you know what? It’s very good at it
Horimiya: just watch it for the love of god just watch it
Sasaki to Miyano: you have miyano who is like “I wonder if I’m gay??? I’m not sure???” While he reads gay manga and straight up imagines himself kissing his guy friend in the mouth like bestie COME ON
Thats all the anime I can think of the top of my head, well adding anime classics like fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, haikyuu, my hero academia (I only follow it bc the Todoroki family drama is the only thing well written in it), dragon ball (not dragon ball z bc as much as I like it I prefer dragon ball and the cutesy adventure aesthetic it has) and ofc how to forget sonic x

May request prompt
"Even if we're far apart, I'll keep singing for you with all my love." Unbalance Shadow - ZOOL
For Haruka from i7 please?
7. “Even if we’re far apart, I’ll keep singing for you with all my love.” Unbalance Shadow - ZOOL from the lyric prompt list! thank you for your request!! i love haruka so so so much, he's my favorite character in i7! >< also! i'm trying a slightly new format that i'll be aplying to my future posts! i'll also start editing the old ones just beause,, yeah i think it looks cute. the colored letters aren't part of the format, but i felt like they fit here so lol on a slightly sadder note, the first draft of this got deleted on accident and i had been sulking about it for a while but lol here we are warnings: gn reader, light hurt/comfort, fluff, long-distance relationships, set sometime in the future of i7's story, though this is pretty much fluff without plot,,, word count: 1623 words
Tumblr media
"Up next are Natsume-san and Isumi-san, three minutes!" the voice of a staff member makes him look up from the screen of his phone, where he had been aimlessly scrolling down on his SNS while the hairstylists did his hair.
"Yeah, understood." He answers, putting his phone down on the table as a makeup artist retouches his makeup.
The young idol then walked alongside his unitmate to enter the dark stage, adjusting his in-ear monitor as he sat down on the chair preppared for him beforehand, surrounded by the expectant, excited whispers of the audience who waved their lightsticks in support for their favorite idols. Scanning the audience with his eyes, he clutched his microphone.
The spotlights landed on the two idols as the music started to play and they could hear the cheering of their fans before they quieted down, in order to hear their singing.
"I wandered, lost in my loneliness like a desert without roads."
Haruka Isumi didn't need anyone at his side to be the best, everyone will just drop him the moment the next shiny, newest toy appears in front of them. At least, that's what his experience had taught him.
"There, a single, tiny flower became the melody of love."
Then everything happened. ZOOL happened. But more importantly, you happened.
He, who didn't care for almost anything anymore, became infatuated with you. He fell in love with you, who always looked at him and appreciated him, you, who always supported him and never laughed at him.
"My tears suddenly fell, shaking the green leaves."
You, who helped him through each and every one of his worst moments and were there to laugh with him during his best moments, you, who were both his best friend and his dear, dear lover.
"Wow, 'the weaker you become...'"
You, who always supported him on his dreams and were the first one to congratulate him on everything he achieved.
You, who he was now supporting as you walked to your own dreams.
You, who were walking towards your dreams, far, far away from him.
"(So, don't look back)."
"'...the kinder...'"
You, who he hoped woke up earlier than usual today just to see him singing live even if it was through a computer.
"(Sharing, big love)."
"'...you'll become.' Your gentle warmth taught me that."
You, who taught him everything he knew about romantic love, who showed him that there was more to people than hatred and betrayal. So warm and gentle, you always made him feel like he belonged somewhere.
But you're not next to him, not anymore. Not physically, at least.
But, that's alright. It hurts, it hurts so much and it makes him anxious constantly even if he'd never admit it out loud. But that's alright.
"Like the falling rain, we are not alone."
That's alright, even if it hurts and it brings scary, unwanted thoughts into his mind, it's alright. It's alright, because he knows you're doing what you love just like he is.
And it's alright, because he's not the weak, arrogant crybaby he was when you met. He's stronger now, he has grown up, he's mature. He can handle this. He can keep this going. He can support you without crying every night for your absence.
"Beneath this wide sky, even if you're on the other side of the world, I'm thinking--"
"--of you again today."
It's alright, because he knows you've grown up as well, he knows neither of you is a stupid, oh so stupid and inexperienced highschooler like when you first met. He knows, you both can be stronger than this distance.
"(Unbalance, Unbalance)."
"Look, the crescent moon is beautiful, isn't it?"
He knows this, and still...
He can't help but get worried, sometimes.
"(Unbalance, Unbalance)."
"I want to envelop everything..."
He can't help but worry that you'll get tired of this. Tired of him always being busy, of your schedules never matching, of how he still has to keep you as a secret to protect you from the tabloids and his crazed fans. Worry that you might find someone who has less trouble giving affection, someone who can love you better than him.
Though all his worries wash away, everytime you send him a picture of his newest merchandise that just arrived to your apartment and a cute stamp through RabbitChat at ungodly hours for him, followed by the usual voice note saying 'i love you'.
He knows you have your own fears about it all, as well. But he's told you, over and over again, without ever feeling annoyed, that he only has eyes for you, no matter how many pretty actresses and idols try to snatch him away, the only person he loves in that way is you and only you.
There has never been anyone else but you inside his heart.
You're the only one Haruka wants to spend his whole life with, the only one who can fully understand him and love him.
"...Just as the gentle wind loves the sea..."
And no matter how longer you may have to be apart, how many people you both will meet and how many worries there will be in between before you can next meet again, he wants to and will make sure to remind you daily that he loves you and will love you until he takes his last breath.
"Even if we're far apart, I'll keep singing for you with all my love."
He lifts his gaze to look at the camera with a content sparkle hidden in his eyes, once his next line comes around.
"I wish you--"
("I got a scholarship to finish my college studies overseas, Haruka!" You told him a couple years ago.)
"--happiness."
("I'll be here waiting for you to comeback when you're ready." He called your name that night at the airport, hugging you close before you took off.)
"This seed of happiness that I touched exists to protect the person I love."
("It must be hard for you, isn't it? You don't need to call me every day if you're too tired to do it. I can wait for as long as you need.")
"Our words dissolve in the twilight."
("Nonsense! I... am, tired, but! You must be tired too, right? Get some rest, I'll hang up if you promise you're going to rest too!")
"That seed of happiness that you touched reaches out to someone I don't know."
("I saw that selfie you posted with those two from ainana, I'm so happy to see you really have friends!" "Why did you even doubt that?!" "I worry about you, since I can't see you everyday and all that...")
"Because the circle of love that connects us lights up tomorrow."
("I miss you." "I know, I miss you too." "Let's try to meet during my summer break?" "I already told you, didn't I? I can wait for as long as you need, dummy.")
"Look, it has started to rain."
("Isn't it almost midnight there? Go to sleep." "But I wanna talk more with you..." "You're so hopeless... Go on, sleep, I'm not going anywhere until you sleep." "Hehehe, can I get a lullaby from you before I sleep?" "There's no helping it, right? You really get needy when it's late at night." "But you love anyway, so it works out...~")
"I want to envelop everything, Shadow."
("...Yeah, I love you.")
"Today's live was amazing, Haruka!" Your voice tells him through the phone while he layed down on his bed, late at night in his timezone. "Everyone was so cool, but you were the coolest! The whole time you were on screen I was all like 'Yes this is my boyfriend just look at him go he's so amazing!!!'"
He chuckled at your words, a loving gaze softening his gaze while he listened to your voice.
"I know, right? Praise me more, praise me more~ But only after you tell me, did you sleep early yesterday to wake up early today?"
"I totally did! I wouldn't miss one of your shows if I can help it!"
Though most of the times you couldn't.
He still felt his heartbeat race up at your support.
"You're so cute, did you know that?"
"Eh-? Why tell me that all of a sudden?!"
"Because..." He yawned. "I want to." You went silent for a second, before speaking again.
"You're tired, aren't you? You should go to sleep..."
"No... wanna talk to you more..."
He can already hear your tender smile just from your words alone.
"Go ahead, Haruka. You did well today, you deserve some rest."
"Do I get a lullaby from you to sleep?"
You chuckled.
"Yeah, of course. You are so needy when it's late at night..."
"Like you're one to talk."
"I know, I know."
He smiles, hearing you giggle through the phone.
"I wish I could hold you until you fell asleep right now... But since I can, you'll have to do with me singing my new favorite song for you~"
"'s okay, I like your voice. I'd listen to your voice the whole day if you wanted me to."
"Then... I'll start..." You cleared your throat, and he couldn't help but smile to himself again when he heard the lyrics of his duet song with Minami.
You're not a singer like he is, and you of course haven't trained your voice for as long as he has, he knows that and he still loves the sound of your singing voice.
He drifts off to sleep with your voice as his lullaby, and he knows you both hold true to the lyrics for as long as you need to.
"Even if we're far apart, I'll keep singing for you with all my love...~"

ask game for gakuen alice! 1, 6, and 25
OOOh im so excited to be asked about ga <3
1. What OTPs in your fandom(s) do you just not get?
i guess i'm not really a multi-shipper so i only ship natsume and mikan with each other. ive never really been able to ship mikan with anybody else even tho a few times i have tried to open myself to the idea of multishipping (pretty much in any fandom tbh)... it just never clicked with me. so i dont really ship hotaru or ruka with mikan at all. its not necessarily that i dont get it as much as its just not really my thing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?
i dont really think so? for ga specifically, the stuff i hate i wouldnt ever like no matter how much fandom i saw of it (like. despite the fact that ive seen the existence of way too many persona x mikan and even persona x natsume fanfics on ffn theres no way id ever be able to stop hating stuff like that lmao). there's ships i was okay with but started to really love because of fandom though, like hotaruka!
25. How would you end XXX/Would you change the ending of XXX?
DONT GET ME STARTED MLMFBSHDUFID
i generally dislike the entire final arc (ill get to that in my essays if anyone is interested) bc the main four have unresolved character arcs. like. all four of them. have unfinished character arcs. ALL OF THEM. and stuff that was set up from the very start was abandoned?? for some reason?? it all feels really pointless, but its hard to see just how unsatisfying it is bc youre crying the whole time. like i didnt get that i disliked the whole final arc for a while bc it was so emotional. it was easy to dislike the last couple chapters bc it was so rushed but the whole last arc was a bit of a let down as well, and when i looked at it without the emotion attached, i realized just how incomplete the story is. in general i think ga has some masterful storytelling, so having it end in such a lackluster way, when so many things were brilliantly set up, is pretty disappointing.
so yeah i WOULD change it. not to get too into details, but mikan shouldve been able to save natsume with her nullification alice. if she still lost all her alice with that then even better (i wouldnt necessarily change that). her losing her memories is something that couldve been used more narratively bc it wasnt used to its full potential. hotaru shouldve promised to find mikan again, the exact reverse of how the story started, with hotaru running after mikan instead of the other way around. ruka shouldve been involved in saving natsume somehow, bc his arc abt being a burden to his best friend is left hanging wide open otherwise.
oof but me saying "should" is very bold... these are just ideas that i feel would suit the rest of the story and complete the character arcs. if the arcs were completed in other ways that would be nice too, but having them completed is important to me.
thank u so much for asking me all this... sorry my last answer is so long!
if you wanna send me a salty ask, feel free!

definitely not me laughing at people just now realizing how dumb this fandom is watching this unravel with a popcorn. 
sad thing is.. with this low level of braincells I think someone will actually do this and then its gonna be the first time, when the fandom stupidity will lead to a real life consequences, but hell, maybe this will teach someone something idk.
definitely not me laughing at one of the directors saying that I know everyone is on R and L, but I hope you’ll focus on the relationships of the adults in this anime, cause they’re much more complicated xD I fell.
definitely me crying at the fact that ppl these days don’t even get what the creators are trying to say with their creation and twisting it to the unholy level. like I understand that everything is up to the interpretation, but it’s like if 90% of the readers would’ve interpret that “Pride and Prejudice” is a story about a poor misunderstood Wickham, abused by Darcy bc the ugly asshole didn’t get that the poor man needed help with his compalsive gambling disorder lmao
just being in the literature/movies analyses since forever, I find it absolutely fascinating how when it comes to books and movies 90% of ppl usually get okay, what the creator was trying to convey, at least like even some do not get the depth, they at least get the main message and don’t twist it to this extent, but when it comes to anime, it’s not the first time I’m watching something, make my own assumptions, then happily go to read fandom posts and surprisingly find that most of them are like a complete opposite AND mocking these tiny bunch, who have the perfectly adequate point of view. first time it happened I was like “am I dumb or smth”, but then the creators speak up and I’m like “ah so I did understand the message correctly”. it’s just most of the viewers didn’t. 
it’s like when I saw those messages about how many think that Seirin are the main characters/team of KNB and Haru and Makoto is what Free! revolves around. I was like “how... did.. u even come to this conclusion if we watched the same thing?” and it’s not like those fans are even trying to present it as “this is just an extraordinary opinion of mine”, no, they’re sincerely going at it on the social media as “that’s what the creator was trying to say” and I’m like “no, I’m like 99% sure he didn’t try to say that” lmao and then surprise surprise... guess who’s right. 
the only question is why really. is it bc the young generation is a huge part of anime fandoms and bc they don’t want to read anymore and thus can’t develop the basic skills of character analysis? 
and before you yell at me, my mom is a school teacher and yeah, they don’t want your books anymore (I still won’t say all, but like HE MAJORITY for sure) and once during the pandemic they asked me to substitute their english online class and I asked them about their favorite fiction characters (bc I legit thought it was a the easiest way to bond and talk) and one said Thanos (...), one said Harry Potter, but when I asked “why”, thinking to hear smth like bc he’s brave or a great friend or smth, what I heard was “he does magic” I was like “well, everyone does magic there, why else”, and you’re in the 4th grade you dumb fuck (lmao that’s not, I didn’t say that xD), the third one said “Charlie from the chocolate factory” and when I asked why is that, he said “bc it’s sweet and tasty” and then I just wanted to shoot myself, cause I didn’t know already what to say... is the movie tasty? we were talking about characters tho? I was reading Jules Verne at your age and I’m not even that old, I’m 25. 
then I remember, that most of them are on twitter/tiktok/youtube, etc. and get scared and then I read some comments on MAL or smth and get even more scared. and look at the fucking ratings, I’m in shock (istg if *** score reaches the mdzs or natsume’s level, the world is officially dumb af).
anyways, back to the point. not notice the character/main conflict that drives the whole plot is truly sensational really. like that’s a whole new level of dumbness. I mean, I thought I’ve seen everything since Free! and Voltron shananigans, but heck I was so wrong. also I’d help with the good roasting, cause I’m real good at it, when needed, but I’m just not really invested enough to get into the middle of this, cause so far I don’t find the characters, who are worthy of such effort (and I think I won’t haha). but thanks for sending me this, it was satisfying to see, that at least the VAs and creators are great and that the fandom got to expose their stupidity. 
bc I was just DMing @heavensweetheart​ how I’ve lost my faith in humanity and then someone is like “did you see this tweet?” and I’m like “no, no, and I don’t wanna pls” and then my sister is like “I’ve this AOT fact video...” and @tododeku-or-bust​ is like “you wanna hear smth form the JC part of the mdzs fandom” and I’m like “I know it’s a free contry, but there’s no way this is legal” lmao. so I’m really thankful that there are still people surrounding me, who understand that this is in fact laughable, that such things even exist. like I’m not happy to find out that those exist, but at least it’s soothing that I have someone I can vent my frustration with, cause sometimes you just need someone to be like “yeah, you’re not wrong, this is in fact dumb and you’re definitely not in the wrong, even when the majority says you are.” and I finally understand what Wei Wuxain was feeling trying to go against of a horde of absolute hypocrites.
also like someone pls make a law, when you can’t enter a fandom if your IQ is less than 3, cause going to some fandom tags is like:
Tumblr media
and this fandom is offically became “I’m embarrased to be a part of it” one. and “is it even worth it?” lmao. like I’ll still wait for the last 2 episodes, but I think the answer is actually a “no”. bc if you’re sane, it’s gonna be painful af to read the things the majority of this fandom say, that’s all. and my god, it can piss you off, even when you’re like “I’ve been there before, it okay”, cause it’s damn hard, when you just have a very low tolerance for bullshit.

IDOLiSH7 5th Anniversary Special Story: Opening Doors...
Chapter 6: A Day Of Celebration
Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5
Yamato Nikaido: Mm! It's so tender!
Haruka Isumi: It's so sweet and yummy!
Tenn Kujo: Now this is a flavor that'll wake you up in the morning.
Fisher: Thank you! Have some more!
Haruka Isumi: Chow time!
Iori Izumi: Does everyone around here eat the Dancing Lobster?
Fisher: We love it here! You only get to eat it once a year, so everyone has some when it's available!
Yamato Nikaido: It really is like an idol, then.
Fisher: Haha, at least around these parts. City folk and young people don't much know about it.
Haruka Isumi: It'd be selfish to keep this all to ourselves, then.
Fisher: Shellfish? You want to eat shellfish next?
Tenn Kujo: Hehe, he said "selfish". In other words, we should help make it popular.
Tenn Kujo: Just like lots of ordinary people helped us become popular.
Fisher: My whole family loves you boys! Both IDOLiSH7 and TRIGGER!
Haruka Isumi: What about ŹOOĻ?
Fisher: We love you too, of course!
Haruka Isumi: Ahaha! Do you really!?
Yamato Nikaido: It's weird. Before our meeting the other day, I didn't even know the name of this place.
Yamato Nikaido: Finding out about a place this nice makes you wanna tell more people about it.
Iori Izumi: Right. It makes you want to share.
Yamato Nikaido: Share?
Iori Izumi: Yes. This moment and this excitement.
Iori Izumi: All the great things that fill your heart, whether they're delicious or beautiful...
Iori Izumi: I'm sure wanting to share them with someone is something we can all relate to.
Tenn Kujo: I think I get what you mean. That's also why we don't sing alone.
Tenn Kujo: You don't want to keep amazing experiences and emotions to yourself.
Tenn Kujo: You want other people to know. And telling people how delicious this harbour's Dancing Lobster was is a part of that, too.
Fisher: Or that famous idols came to eat here.
Tenn Kujo: Hehe, that's right. People want to bond over things that make them happy.
Yamato Nikaido: I think we do bond over it. Our members... And even the fans who aren't with us on stage.
Haruka Isumi: ......... Even when things go bad, and you're all separated?
Iori Izumi: Of course.
Iori Izumi: Because even in a blinding darkness, their hearts are with us.

Tamaki Yotsuba: This egg rice is so yummy~!
Toma Inumaru: So are the boiled eggs!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: The omelette's great, too! These eggs are really something! No wonder they're called "Dearest Eggs"!
Mitsuki Izumi: Yeah, seriously! Not only do they taste good, the colors are also nice and the yolk is soft. No wonder they're popular!
Poultry Farmer: Thank you!
Mitsuki Izumi: What's the secret to their flavor?
Poultry Farmer: Well... Just like you sang a song for the chickens...
Poultry Farmer: We take the time to give them lots of love.
Poultry Farmer: It naturally makes them into the kinds of tasty eggs everyone will love.
Toma Inumaru: You mean something that gets love will turn even more lovable?
Poultry Farmer: That's right. Hehe... Though I'm embarrassed to say that.
Mitsuki Izumi: Ahaha! Don't be! I think it's really nice.
Mitsuki Izumi: If we idols do our best to sing with lots of love...
Mitsuki Izumi: And that makes our fans get more love too, then that makes us happy!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Yeah, really happy. It's fun... and I'm sure it works both ways.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Both ways?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: At first, being around two guys as amazing as Gaku and Tenn made me shrink back...
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: But being loved by my fans, my teammates, and agency gave me a lot of self-confidence.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: It's great to be loved. It's great when people care about you. It gives you strength beyond what you could achieve by yourself.
Tamaki Yotsuba: I get what you mean. I used to be kinda like a regular egg.
Tamaki Yotsuba: A regular, tall egg that could kinda dance and had a bad attitude. And that was always late and forgetting stuff.
Mitsuki Izumi: Ahaha! You sure were.
Mitsuki Izumi: But you've changed, Tamaki.
Tamaki Yotsuba: Haha... Yeah. I guess that's what happens when people care about you. And your friends tell you you did a good job.
Tamaki Yotsuba: You grow really tall, just like that.  And you become a super yummy egg. It's so weird.
Toma Inumaru: Sure is... But it makes you wanna care for people, too. Like your teammates and friends.
Toma Inumaru: So they won't hate you ever again, and so you can keep moving on.
Toma Inumaru: Because you're loved and cared for, you know you'll be fine no matter what.
Toma Inumaru: At least, that's what I'd like to think.
Mitsuki Izumi: ...Right...
Tamaki Yotsuba: Ahaha! Mikki, you sound like you're gonna cry!
Mitsuki Izumi: Shut up! You know I'm weak to this kinda stuff!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Ahaha! ...I feel you...
Toma Inumaru: Not you too, Tsunashi-san...
Poultry Farmer: Thank you, boys. That was moving beyond words, and...
Poultry Farmer: I hope you'll continue to be loved like our eggs, as the idol world's Dearest Idols.
Mitsuki Izumi: ...Mister, you went and said the coolest thing out of all of us!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Misteeer!
Poultry Farmer: Hehe...

Nagi Rokuya: OH! Our radiant rice is delicious!
Momo: It sure is the Radiant 16! Each grain has a different texture, so just chewing on them is fun!
Torao Mido: And it feels healthy, too.
Sogo Osaka: What goal did you have when making this blend?
Rice Mill Owner: I want the people who eat it to lead healthy,  bustling, and radiant lives.
Momo: That's so normal! Well, maybe not normal, but it does seem like you're taking it really seriously.
Rice Mill Owner: Hehe.
Torao Mido: Hence the name?
Rice Mill Owner: Yep. My parents are rice farmers, but I used to not like rice.
Rice Mill Owner: But I still ate millet rice, since it's healthy and full of nutrients. That's how I realized this was my calling.
Momo: You totally looked like a westerner to me, but your parents farm rice?
Rice Mill Owner: Hehe.
Momo: You say you didn't like rice, so how did your parents react to that?
Rice Mill Owner: Not well. They said just plain rice is good enough, and that they worked so hard to cook it for me.
Rice Mill Owner: But I couldn't help it. I wasn't my parents. And this idea is something I worked hard for. I wanted them to acknowledge that.
Sogo Osaka: ...What about now? Do they acknowledge it?
Rice Mill Owner: Yeah. Since I'm making money, heh.
Torao Mido: So it's because you had the results to show for it.
Nagi Rokuya: OH! Then do you not also lead a radiant life?
Rice Mill Owner: Oh, good point.
Nagi Rokuya: Happiness is what matters most.
Nagi Rokuya: Our happiness, our families' happiness, our friends' happiness...
Nagi Rokuya: To me, that is the most important message to remember in my life, and in the eyes of God.
Sogo Osaka: Right... My work makes me happy. So I think I lead a radiant life, too.
Torao Mido: Hmm...
Sogo Osaka: Haha... I never thought I'd say that about myself.
Sogo Osaka: I've been hurt a lot, and I'll probably be hurt in the future, but I'm sure that my life is bright.
Sogo Osaka: I'll shine to make up for the hurt. That's how I want to live out my life.
Torao Mido: That doesn't really make sense to me. If you hadn't done anything at all, your life could've been radiant enough as it was.
Sogo Osaka: .........
Torao Mido: But you look happier now than when I used to see you surrounded by all that luxury.
Sogo Osaka: Mido-san...
Rice Mill Owner: Good for you, Sogo.
Momo: You sure are a friendly guy, huh!?
Rice Mill Owner: Make sure to promote the Radiant 16-Grain for me, Momo-chan.
Momo: Sure thing! And since you're so tall, I want you to join my soccer team!
Rice Mill Owner: Gotcha.
Nagi Rokuya: Would you like to visit Northmare?
Rice Mill Owner: Sure.
Sogo Osaka: He's so friendly... 
- - - -
Gaku Yaotome: I did it! I got the biggest General's Edamame!
Minami Natsume: Oh dear. You did very well, Yaotome-san.
Riku Nanase: Ah, but this means we have to give him his phone back.
Yuki: Can't we have just ten percent of it?
Gaku Yaotome: No! How would you give someone ten percent of a phone, anyway?
Riku Nanase: By cutting out one corner?
Gaku Yaotome: Don't try to break it! Ah, gramps, check this out!
Farmer: Now that's a big General's Edamame. This year's harvest has turned out great.
Gaku Yaotome: Is this bigger than normal?
Farmer: It is.
Gaku Yaotome: Hehe!
Farmer: But I think this vividly bright one will be more fresh and delicious.
Minami Natsume: Oh. That's nice to hear.
Riku Nanase: Mine is more firm than all the others! There's so many different ways edamame can turn out!
Yuki: Mine's on the softer side. The softer the tastier, right, mister?
Farmer: You won't know unless you have a taste.
Yuki: I appreciate the honesty.
Riku Nanase: Why did you decide to call them the General's Edamame?
Farmer: Edamame are unripe soybeans.
Farmer: We wanted to express the fact that even a greenhorn can become a great general!
Minami Natsume: Unripe... I like the sound of that word. It's full of potential.
Riku Nanase: ŹOOĻ's the least experienced group out of all of us, after all!
Yuki: What about IDOLiSH7? Have you ripened up yet?
Riku Nanase: Have we? I'm not sure...
Riku Nanase: I feel like we're going to keep changing from here, but I want to stay the way we are right now, too.
Riku Nanase: The seven of us have been through a lot, but we overcame it together...
Riku Nanase: I want to believe that we can keep going just the way we are now.
Riku Nanase: What about TRIGGER?
Gaku Yaotome: Well...
Gaku Yaotome: I don't wanna say that this is as far as we'll go. But I don't wanna say we're still not good enough, when we're already entertaining fans on stage.
Gaku Yaotome: I wanna be perfect in the moment. It doesn't matter if we're broken and flawed after that.
Yuki: And sometimes it's good to break your old selves to discover something new.
Yuki: Like the beans. They're unripe, but they can still be generals.
Gaku Yaotome: Right!
Minami Natsume: ........
Riku Nanase: What's wrong, Natsume-san?
Minami Natsume: I just   thought of something...
Riku Nanase: What?
Minami Natsume: What are books in the military called?
Gaku Yaotome: Huh?
Minami Natsume: General knowledge.
Riku & Gaku: ........?
Minami Natsume: It's a pun.
Yuki: ...Pfft, haha..!
Gaku Yaotome: Yuki-san, your face..!
Riku Nanase: Aah! General knowledge, as in military general!
Minami Natsume: Yes. In any case, we should all take pride in our unripeness...
Gaku Yaotome: Hold on! Can't you give a warning before getting back to the serious stuff!?
Riku Nanase: Hey!
Gaku Yaotome: What's up, Nanase?
Riku Nanase: We're getting serious again!
Gaku Yaotome: You don't gotta narrate everything!
Riku Nanase: Huh!? But you just said...
Yuki: ...Ahahaha..!
Gaku Yaotome: Yuki-san..! You're gonna make Momo-san cry at this rate!!!
Riku Nanase: Ah..! He did mention breaking himself..!
Gaku Yaotome: Doesn't mean he has to break his face, too... 
- - - -
Re:vale: Shining Rainbow Kitchen!
TRIGGER: It's been five years since your first broadcast!
IDOLiSH7: Congratulations!
ŹOOĻ: Happy 5th anniversary!
Momo: To celebrate, all 16 of us...
Tenn Kujo: Have created the idol bowl!
Riku Nanase: And we're about to cook it for you!
Haruka Isumi: Make sure to try it for yourselves, too! 
- - - -
Sogo Osaka: We will add the freshly cooked Radiant 16-Grain rice into the bowls. Mido-san.
Torao Mido: It's hot... Will this much do?
Momo: I want a little more!
Nagi Rokuya: Millet rice is like an audience, shining with glowsticks!
Torao Mido: Audience complete!
Nagi Rokuya: Wow! How wonderful!
Sogo Osaka: It looks delicious!
Momo: What's an idol without fans, am I right!?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: We'll be preparing the eggs, lobster, and edamame for cooking!
Mitsuki Izumi: Here's our eggs! Firm and fresh Dearest Eggs!
Tamaki Yotsuba: The eggs show off an idol's popularity!
Toma Inumaru: We sang to the chickens to make them lay healthy eggs!
Yamato Nikaido: This here's the Dancing Lobster!
Iori Izumi: It's so fresh that it was still squirming around a moment ago.
Tenn Kujo: It's a phantom that can only be eaten once a year.
Haruka Isumi: Uh, and it represents idols, who you usually only get to see on stage!
Riku Nanase: Finally, there's the General's Edamame!
Gaku Yaotome: They're chewy, big, and delicious!
Minami Natsume: They represent the idols who sometimes serve as backup dancers.
Yuki: Okay then. Can I put the edamame on the frying pan?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Yes! 
Hiss! Crackle!
Riku Nanase: That's the sound of good food!  
Tenn Kujo: It smells good, too.
Torao Mido: You're good at this, Ryunosuke.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: That's because I love to cook! But Mitsuki-kun and Yuki-san are just as good.
Iori Izumi: Are the bowls all lined up?
Tamaki Yotsuba: Almost!
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: Ready?
Mitsuki Izumi: I'd say we're good to go.
Yuki: Why not?
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: It's done!
Momo: It's done! Let's put 'em in the bowls!
Riku Nanase: It's the idol bowl!
Nagi Rokuya: Perfect!
Haruka Isumi: Looks good!
Toma Inumaru: Looks great! And colorful!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Make this popular! I want it to be as popular as the Nia bowl!
Minami Natsume: It makes for a good lunch.
Yamato Nikaido: Sure. You guys wanna pack idol lunchboxes and go somewhere?
Mitsuki Izumi: It's supposed to be a bowl, not a lunchbox!
Sogo Osaka: Is everyone ready?
Iori Izumi: We are.
Tenn Kujo: Grab a bowl, guys. It's time for a taste test.
Momo: Taste test, taste test!
Minami Natsume: Incredible. All of us idols, standing with a bowl in hand.
Gaku Yaotome: Makes for a great picture!
Yamato Nikaido: Does it..?
Riku Nanase: Everyone, get in line! We'll all have a bite on the count of three!
Tenn Kujo: Before that, there's one thing we need to say.
Tenn Kujo: Happy 5th anniversary!
All: Happy anniversary!
Iori Izumi: I hope all of you at home will stay healthy, eat lots of great food, and continue supporting the show.
Riku Nanase: We don't know all the stuff that lies ahead for us, but good food is a crucial part of life!
Yamato Nikaido: Yep, we've got plenty of food-related memories ourselves!
Mitsuki Izumi: Like how we went from eating egg soba to eating tempura soba!
Nagi Rokuya: OH! It reminds me of when we were but the most basic of lunchboxes!
Sogo Osaka: And I came to like King Pudding.
Tamaki Yotsuba: And I got good at making hot milk!
Riku Nanase: And I started buying lots of snacks that come with toys!
Riku Nanase: I hope we all get to make many more memories together!
Riku Nanase: The idol bowl we made today will be one of them!
Riku Nanase: Shining Rainbow Kitchen!
Riku Nanase: Thank you so much for inviting us to your 5th anniversary celebration!
All: Thank you!
Riku Nanase: I hope this show will keep going for many more years to come!
Haruka Isumi: Try the idol bowl!
Yuki: And the Nia bowl.
Ryunosuke Tsunashi: And the Oly bowl!
Minami Natsume: Hee hee. And the skin bowl.
Riku Nanase: Let's start eating, everyone!
Tamaki Yotsuba: Let's, let's!
Tenn Kujo: Well then, here we go.
Riku & Tenn: One, two, three..!
All: Bon appétit!
The end.

natsuyuu movie.....................................
cries in love,
fuck it's been SO long since i last watched a natsuyuu & i miss it SO much fuck i love this show im gonna pass out
sees my SON on the screen being kind to youkai agkajgsdgk djfkd natsume "im not worried ABOUT sensei im just making sure he isnt getting into trouble anyway time to scour the woods" like gjksJGSDHSDJG i fucking cry when hthey w gjj WORRIEd about each other,,,,,,,,,,,,, there were scraps in this episode & i gobbled them the FUCK up oh my fuckin god,
like first we have natsume worried that sensei hasn't come home in a few days so he goes out lookin for him, THEN later in the ep natsume gets attacked by a youkai that threatens to eat him, he hears sensei a little ways off and calls for help- before help can arrive he falls into a hole & knocks out for a bit but at the END of the episode it's implied that sensei ate the fuckin youkai that threatened natsume and i just!!!!!! coulda been like welp crisis averted no harm no foul but NOPE this bitch tried to eat my SON i mean my WIMPY LOSER HUMAN bottoms FUCKING UP godD
& then that fucking oh my god. when natsume & the ishiokoshi are walkin thru that underground tunnel & natsumes like "ahh it's so pretty.... if only sensei were here to see it too" LIKE ok bitch u wanna share these special moments w sensei ok i se i see AND THEN as if THAT weren't enough already the fucking gut punch at the end when natsume says to sensei "actually let's take the underground tunnel back, i think you'll like it" I FUCKIGN literally i was holding it together just fine for the majority of the ep bUT WHEN HE SAID THAT I LOST COMPOSURE LGKJDKFJSKDGKD "shut the fuck upppPPPPPPPPP AAAAAAAA" <--- me irl when natsume said that
it just fuckin destroys me HE WANTED TO SHOW THE PRETTY SCENERY TO SENSEI......... FUCK im not okay
so ep 1 was great
and ok ep 1 was a natsume/youkai episode, i love those, v natsume centric which is always a plus, but then ep 2 slid right in to remind me that YO THIS THING HAS OTHER CHARACTERS who i love and adore NISHIMURA & KITAMOTO WERE IN IT 💖💕❤️💕💕❤️💖💖❤️
and it was a tanuma centric episode!!!! with youkai!!! seriously good shit hello fucking HELLO tanuma's insecurity & quiet jealousy over natsume's spiritual abilities fuckin GET ME BRO 👌👌😩💯 boy just wants to feel special & important & useful like his very special & important friend natsume & just god. the fact that this was potentially a dangerous situation for him but he STILL went ahead with it because he wanted to be included for once and like, feeling like the world of youkai was interested in /him/ specifically and the subsequent disappointment when it was never really about him just ahhhhhhhh tanuma please i cant take it u are SO special & important i PROMISE
also natsume worrying over tanuma the whole time aaaahhhhh he's so protective over his friends fucking kill me LIKE literally just. that moment when he asks misuzu straight up if he's a youkai in front of tanuma & misuzu's like hehe yea & natsume is just like no bullshit straight to the point if u hurt tanuma in any way shape or form we are gonna have HANDS between us like. idk there's something about the fact that natsume is SO well versed in how to talk to & deal with youkai at this point, there's this wild juxtaposition between how polite & respectful tanuma treats misuzu and how firm and intimidating natsume has to be that is just.,,. kisses fingers so good
like it's another way to contrast the two of their worlds, how removed tanuma is from youkai vs how familiar and versed natsume is with them, but it's also just like. idk i like those kinds of situations where one person is like Talking Business while their friend or whoever is watching like Woah Damn u know?? like there was a similar thing ascendance of a bookworm in the s1 special, where myne's family sees her negotiating business with benio & theyre like holy shit this is intense i never knew myne could talk like this- it’s like that sorta thing
like obvs it's not the first time tanuma has seen natsume interact with youkai but like, tanuma had been pretty convinced misuzu was just a normal human so i feel like it's even more striking to see natsume, who is always so polite and reserved around people, to suddenly come on so strongly against misuzu.... i just really like looking at the interaction from tanuma's point of view and feeling like u know, tanuma got to see a side of natsume he wasn't expecting. like he's learning a little more about him, getting closer in a way. idk it's just really appealing to me
also one last thing, there’s that small moment when tanuma's saying he wants to continue talking with misuzu and natsume starts to argue against it but stops because he realizes that how he (natsume) is feeling must be exactly how natori feels whenever natsume wants to rush into dangerous situations, like. just taking that step back & relenting with the resolve to protect tanuma, that was a really good moment!! obviously his concerns were more than valid but taking a second to realize that on some level he's felt the exact same way as tanuma does now on many occasions and relenting, deliberately trying to not control him, it all just felt really good to see, like it was a small bit of character development right there. Love that shit
(sidenote i really love misuzu's human design tbh like JUST the right amt of unassuming vs "something feels off"ness, plus appealing design w the purple hair like hello. i like the it)
so anyway!! i hesitate to call it a movie but u know. good movie!!! i really enjoyed these two eps and i loved seeing my fucking BOY again, these two eps were just the right mix of everything i love about this show to remind me that HEY it's still my god damn favorite anime!!! and i gotta get back into it!! i gotta read the fuckin manga man oh my godddd. lies on the floor i love natsuyuu so much

a list of every anime i love/recommend, accumulated over the last 10+ years
1. NATSUME YUUJINCHOU 
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW: 
The main character is a teenage boy named Natsume, whose parents died when he was too young to remember them properly. He’s passed around random relatives homes, but because he can see yokai (spirits), he’s ostracized by classmates and his foster families (ALL HIS CHILDHOOD FLASHBACKS ARE SO FUCKING SAD) and eventually very distant relatives (an older couple who never had kids of their own and have so much goddamn love to give D:!!!) take Natsume in, and the story basically starts from there. 
It’s a very heart-warming story following Natsume’s new life in this new town, accepting his ability to see yokai, forging new relationships in the form of friends and family, and even with the yokai themselves. 
This is honestly probably my favorite anime/manga period, because it’s so sad but so cathartic and you watch as the main character grows and learns to trust those around him, and finally gets the unconditional love he’s always deserved, not to MENTION THE FACT THAT THEY DO A WHOLE EP WHERE NATSUME IS TURNED BACK INTO A LITTLE KID AND IT IS SOOOO GOOD OMG
Plus for those of you who enjoy whump, this show has a decent amount of it. Mainly emotional whump, but also some episodes where Natsume is injured or sick--as well as I believe one where his companion (the chubby cat on his shoulder who’s actually a pretty badass yokai) gets shot with an arrow and is down for the count. 
10/10 would and have watched again. 
2. KODOCHA NO OMOCHA 
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW:  The main character is a sixth grader named Sana. She’s a gifted actress on a t.v. show everyone likes and she’s silly and fun, very intuitive and surprisingly empathetic for a child. 
Her main problem is in school, where Akito, who she deems the leader of her class’ wolf pack of rowdy rude boys, lets them terrorize not just the teacher, but all the girls in class, as well. 
I don’t really want to give a lot away, so I’ll just state the obvious. This anime/manga is shoujo, which means that it does focus on a romantic relationship throughout the series. Mainly the one between Sana and Akito. Sana is absolutely oblivious about her own feelings, while Akito is a stubborn little shit. 
I remember watching this at like, age 12 maybe? And I really enjoyed it because (although I do enjoy your typical silly doesn’t take itself too seriously slice of life shoujo) this particular anime, while super funny and light hearted at times, was also really dramatic and even kinda dark, which was surprising considering the characters ages and the general kid-friendly vibe (especially the opening for the anime). 
3. DETECTIVE CONAN
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW:  Our main character is initially Shinichi Kudo, teenage detective, who’s on a date with childhood sweetheart Ran (whose father also happens to a detective but like....not a good one lmao), when his nosy ass self decides to go and check out some shady business and gets “poisoned”. 
The poison he’s given is intended to kill him, but what it actually does is turn him back into a child. And now, as Conan Edogawa, (who’s 7 but like....we just supposed to believe all these cops and detectives on the force are cool with a seven year old wee lil babe on these really gruesome ass crime scenes??? lmaoooo) we follow him on his adventures as he solves crimes and tries to solve the biggest mystery of all, his own! 
I absolutely LOVE this anime/manga, even though I’ll be honest, there is SO MUCH FILLER, but I like the characters enough that I really don’t mind. The show is at least 900+ episodes in at this point, and there are a total of 26 movies so far, last time I checked. 
Also, the show is a whump fangirls’ dream come true. The main character is thrown out of windows, balconies, shot at, and in one occasion actually shot, he’s had broken bones, sprains, almost been blown up or drowned/burned, been sick, and oh, his occasional transformations from child to teenager are incredibly painful. 
This show is probably at fault for my love of whump, since it was one of my first animes at like, age 9. smh. 
4. THE DEVIL IS A PART-TIMER!
Tumblr media
REVIEW:
I’m not even going to summarize this one. The title does it for me. This is truly one of the funniest animes I’ve ever seen. Motherfuckin Satan works at a McDonalds part time and it is the BEST. 
Technically I would count this show as a kind of harem, but only because there are like three main girl characters after the overlord Satan himself. I usually dislike harem type animes but the way this is done is sooooo good I couldn’t resist. 
I would watch a million filler episodes of Satan trying to solve problems at his minimum wage job tbh. I love every single character, I love the plot, I love everything about this anime! In terms of comedy (with the occasional plot driven serious moments) this is IT bro. 
5. BLACK BUTLER
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW: 
The main character is Ciel Phantomhive (roughly 14 years old). His parents are killed, his house is burned to ashes, and he’s kidnapped (around age 9 or 10 I believe) and abused. During this abuse Ciel calls upon a demon to free him and help him get revenge on those who harmed the Phantomhive household, which is where Sebastian, one “hell of a good butler” comes in. 
We then follow Ciel and Sebastian on their path of vengeance, and along the way we meet Ciel’s human servants, three very clumsy and seemingly bad at their given tasks characters (i love them all), and some of his extended relatives and connections. 
My favorite thing about Black Butler is the art, both in the anime and manga. Everything is so detailed and pretty! 
The characters are interesting, the plot is dark but they manage to make most of the series overall pretty light-hearted and funny in general. Though of course there are chapters/parts of the series that get really grim (which duh, the whole thing focuses on revenge so...) 
I have to say, the arc I enjoyed the most has to be the movie, Black Butler: Book Of the Atlantic. It is beautifully drawn and sooooooo entertaining. 
6. INUYASHA 
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW: 
Our main characters are Inuyasha, a half-demon, who’s been in a sort of spiritually binding coma for the last few decades, and fourteen year old Kagome, who falls into an old well in her family’s shrine and finds herself being transported into another time period. 
Together, she and Inuyasha travel across the lands in the feudal era to find the scattered shards of the shikon jewel, a powerful jewel which grants anyone who possesses it ultimate power. 
I was too young to stay up and watch Inuyasha on adult swim, so my mom would tape the show on a VCR for me to watch the next day after school--yes, I’m old old. lmaoooo I ADORE this show. 
It’s so good! It’s got everything! A tortured lil half-demon with a sad past who’s stubborn and rude but got a good heart! A fierce and equally as stubborn main protagonist, who’s whole ass family knows exactly where she goes off to??? and are supportive af????? like???? her mama packs her and her squad of demon/exorcist/demon hunter pals bentos?!?! lmao i love it. 
The characters are awesome and funny and likable as all heck, and of course they all have their sad backstory, but like, unlike some animes (lookin at YOU Naruto) they don’t go mega overboard on it, at least not without some plot behind the episode. 
7. YU YU HAKUSHO 
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW: 
Before I even start in on the summary, ya’ll should watch this soley bc of the cute ass 90′s style animation alone. LOOK AT ALL THAT SHINY HAIR!
ANYWAY. Main character is teenage hooligan and overall cutie pie Yusuke! He gets struck by a car and fucking DIES in the first episode after shoving a little boy out of the way, only to end up in the spirit world where the head honcho up there (who looks like a wee baby) tells him “Oh shit, didn’t expect you to like, actually do anything self-sacrificing EVER so like, you’re not on our list of people who were supposed to die today...” 
And uh, I don’t wanna give anything away, so I’m just gonna say that if you haven’t seen this anime yet, you definitely should! It’s hilarious and dramatic, the fight scenes are very well done, all the side characters, who eventually become main characters are a blessing (specifically Hiei, who’ve I’ve had a crush on since I was 12) and the ending is a satisfying one, which you can’t really say for a lot of media. 
8. CHRONO CRUSADE 
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW: 
I still get weepy when I think of this anime, so all I’ll say is it’s about a badass demon slaying nurse and her demon companion and some very tragic shit. 
It’s a great anime overall, especially if you like crying yourself to sleep at night :) 
9. GHOST HUNT
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW: 
The main character is high school student Mai, who is hired by Naru, the head of a Shibuya psychic research, and together, with a group of questionable exorcists/psychics, they encounter paranormal phenomenons and some outright scary shit. 
I’m not really a fan of the horror genre tbh but I do like mystery, and the series deals with that quite a bit. They deal with each case for several episodes so nothing feels too rushed. 
The series is really fun in a creepy, wtf is that way. I recommend the manga, only because it’s more detailed in terms of plot than the anime. 
10. ASSASSINATION CLASSROOM 
Tumblr media
SUMMARY/REVIEW: 
I didn’t really make this list in any particular order but if I had to say, Assassination Classroom and Natsume Yuujinchou probably tie for BEST ANIME PERIOD! 
This anime is about a weird ass “alien” creature, no one knows where it came from or why tf it’s here on earth, all they know is that in one year it’s threatened to blow the world up. 
His only request to the government is that they let him become a teacher for Class E, the worst class of Kunugigaoka Junior High School, and he will stay put, so that they can attempt an assassination on him during this one year period. 
AND LISTEN! I am a shallow hoe, so I literally never would have read this manga or watched the series had I not been roaming Barnes and Noble one day with my S.O. and picked it up to read as a JOKE! 
I was hooked after the first chapter and I am soooooooo glad I picked this manga up, bc it is absolutely not the type I would normally go for, cover art wise. I finally, after many many years, learned not to judge a book by its cover bc LORD this anime is so goddamn good, you don’t understand! Like, I’ve watched it so many times and still laugh at the same parts, cry at the same parts, am proud af at the same parts! like, this anime is an instant classic and should definitely be more popular than it is. 
assassination classroom and natsume yuujinchou????? MASTERPIECES!

English Translation: Brother’s Conflict Short Stories: Side: Ukyou and Natsume: Where the Ownership Lies
Tumblr media
(Will that person be happy?)
After checking again that the ROM is in my pocket, I enter the lobby of the apartment building.
“Um, so the version of this game that Natsume-san’s company is making, is it confirmed?”
About 1 week ago, she asked me about an American action game that I was working on.
Apparently it’s a popular topic online. The name of the game also sounded familiar to me.
I don’t know if our company is making the game, but the lucky thing is, I have a colleague who just so happened to have this game. After playing for a bit he set it aside due because It was too difficult. Therefore, I was easily able to borrow it.
(Is it that hard…? Whatever, if it’s the level of gaming that person is much better than my colleague.)
After getting on the elevator I check my phone, its just past 8pm.
(At this time she’s probably in her room already. No, she might be in the living room.)
Going straight to her room is too sudden, I go to the fifth floor.
Passing the entrance, I make my way down the corridor. The kitchen door is open.
---Suddenly:
Wataru: “Aah, Natsume, please help!”
Wataru who suddenly appeared at my feet is pulling at my sleeves and messing up my clothes.
Natsume: “Oi, oi. What’s happening?”
Tsubaki: “Just now, Natsume? Oh….Natsume!”
Tsubaki suddenly jumps up from the kitchen table.
Tsubaki: “Amazing timing! Was my telepathy effective?”
Natsume: “Haah?”
I don’t understand.
Then Wataru suddenly started talking.
Wataru: “That, that, we almost died!”
Natsume: “Huh?”
I’m getting more and more confused.
Tsubaki: “That’s right that’s right, we were almost done for.”
The two of them started bombarding me one after the other.
Wataru: “This afternoon’s lunch was really sparse.”
Tsubaki: “Today was super busy, there wasn’t even time to eat!”
Wataru: “But onee-chan isn’t here.”
Tsubaki: “And in the fridge there’s nothing which is ready to eat.”
Wataru: “And then my stomach was grumbling so much.”
Tsubaki: “Honestly I really thought we were about to die.”
Natsume: “…”
So these guys are just hungry.
Tsubaki: “So”
He’s staring at me
Tsubaki: “Natsume, cook for us.”
I feel dumbfounded by this.
Natsume: “Isn’t there a convenience store close by? Won’t it be fine if you just go buy something.”
Wataru: “That’s no good!”
Tsubaki: “If it’s just that I would have done it a long time ago! But Kyou-nii is so mean!”
Natsume: “Kyou-nii?”
Why did he suddenly bring up Kyou-nii?
Wataru: “Kyou-nii said, “If she’s not here then I will cook”.”
Tsubaki: “Not bad not bad! Wataru your imitation is not bad, do you want to be a seiyuu in the future?”
Wataru: “Ha? Really Tsu-chan? I want to be a seiyuu! I wanna, I wanna!”
Natsume: “…that kind of thing, do what you want.”
I interrupted
Natsume: “So in short, if you just have Kyou-nii cook isn’t it fixed?”
Tsubaki: “Hmph, you’re too naïve Natsume.”
Wataru: “Yeah, you’re too naïve, too naïve Nacchan.”
Tsubaki: “Things aren’t so simple. Whatever, look at that.”
I follow Tsubaki’s finger which is pointing towards the sink.
(Ah?)
It’s really not your average sight.
Vegetables that have been half cut and meat that has been put to the side. Spices scattered. The meat is half-defrosted in a bowl.
Natsume: “What happened here?”
Wataru: “Puah!!!”
Suddenly Wataru falls onto the couch.
Tsubaki: “No good, its not similar at all. 25 points”
Wataru: “Hmph! It was just like this!”
Tsubakui: “It’s not alike!”
Wataru: “It is!”
Tsubaki: “It’s not.”
(These guys are getting along well today.)
Tsubaki: “But did Kyou-nii just fall like that? First was the knee…”
Wataru: “Oh…that’s right.”
Natsume: “Eh!? Wait a minute, Tsubaki.”
I hurriedly interrupted
Natsume: “Kyou-nii fainted?”
Tsubaki: “Yeah, seems his body is unwell.”
Natsume: “Oi oi, then how is he now?”
Tsubaki points to the living room. Kyou-nii’s figure can be seen on the couch.
His face is red and his forehead is covered in sweat. Looks like he’s caught a cold.
Natsume: “So this is what happened.”
I look at Tsubaki again.
Natsume: “Tsubaki and Wataru were hungry, Kyou-nii came and started making you food. But in the middle he suddenly fainted.”
Tsubaki: “Ah, yep that’s right, you’re so smart Natsume.”
Wataru: “Nacchan you’re a genius! [Clap clap clap clap] Applause!”
I really don’t know what to say.
Originally I just came to give this game but it seems she’s not here, there’s no helping it.
But putting aside the messy kitchen, there’s still two hungry little brothers.
(Ah…)
I really think I’m too nice.
(Despite everything, I can’t go home just yet.”
Natsume: “…I understand. I’ll cook.”
Tsubaki and Wataru start to shout.
Tsubaki: “Uoh!! Indeed it’s Natsume!!”
Wataru: “Yah! Natsume, you’re the best!”
…but what was Kyou-nii initially making?
Let’s just look at the kitchen first.
Meat and sauce and other ingredients are there. Probably something like hamburger steak.
(But if it’s Kyou-nii, it’s impossible that he only planned to make hamburger steak and nothing else.”
Besides, I can’t make such a complicated dish.
Boiling, roasting and frying. Those are my 3 cooking principles.
(Basically, if you can add fire to make it hot, it’s impossible not to be able to eat.”
Even though I feel sorry for Kyou-nii, I’ll just use my own methods to cook here.
While thinking like this, I reach for the frying pan.
Ukyou: “First cut the onions.”
Unexpectedly I hear Kyou-nii’s voice.
Ukyou: “Don’t worry, Natsume you can definitely do it.”
From the couch I hear Kyou-nii coughing.
Ukyou: “Come on, pick up the knife, Natsume.”
Not just because of his fever, but Kyou-nii seems a little weird.
(But… he seems to want to teach me, then I’ll just listen to what he says.”
I open the cupboard under the sink and take out the kitchen knife.
Natsume: “I got the knife Kyou-nii.”
Ukyou: “You can slice vegetables thinly right?”
Natsume: “Well, just about.”
Ukyou: “That’s fine…I prepared the onions already because I didn’t want to see you crying…heh.”
I feel like this isn’t the Kyou-nii that I know. Did he get possessed after fatining?
(…whatever. It’s useless to think about it too much.”
I follow Kyou-nii’s instructions and start to mobilise.
.   .   .   .
Tsubaki: “Uoh, what is this…”
Wataru: “It’s so delicious!”
Tsubaki and Wataru are rapidly shoving food into their mouths.
“Hamburger on top of sirloin steak with rich sauce and grated potato.”
…Even though I don’t know the name of this dish, but I just said the ingredients.
Even though it’s not my dish, I think I did a pretty good job.
The smell is good and it looks ok too.
What’s more, the way Tsubaki and Wataru are eating is proof.
Tsubaki: “Ha…so happy…”
Wataru: “I’m full…”
After eating everything on the plate, the two of them lie on the couch.
Tsubaki: “So delicious…[THANK YOU] (English), Natsume. I’m truly thankful to you”
Wataru: “Nacchan, thank you…Next time please make it again!”
Four sparkling eyes are brightly staring at me.
I feel a bit shy and I avert my gaze.
Natsume: “Well, you look like you’re full…aah, just leave the plates there, I’ll wash it.”
After Tsubaki and Wataru left, I go to wash the dishes.
It’s 10pm now.
(That person should be home by now. After this I’ll drop by her room.)
After washing the dishes, I feel around for the game in my pocket.
(Today was weird.)
Even though I thought this, it wasn’t bad. Being together with my brothers like this, it’s been a long time.
(It’s not bad coming home once in a while.)
At this time, a thought appeared in my mind.
(That’s right, it’s not like I have no reason to return home. Even if I’m not delivering games...)
Ukyou: “Natsume.”
His voice was so sudden that I got a little scared, I nearly dropped the plate.
Natsume: “Oh- uwah!!”
Ukyou: “Aah, sorry about that, it seems I scared you.”
After getting a grip on the plate, I look towards the direction of the noise. Kyou-nii is standing there.
Natsume: “It’s alright, Kyou-nii. How come you’re up?”
Ukyou: “Ah, I’m already a lot better.”
Kyou-nii is sitting on the kitchen chair.
Ukyou: “You helped me a lot today…thank you.”
Natsume: “It’s nothing.”
I put the plate back on the table.
Natsume: “I only followed Kyou-nii’s instructions.”
Ukyou: “Don’t be modest.”
Kyou-nii is smiling.
Ukyou: “Maybe I should leave the kitchen to you?”
Natsume: “Ah, spare me.”
I panic a little.
Natsume: “I don’t want to face those big stomach kings every day…”
Kyou-nii’s expression suddenly changed.
Ukyou: “Since she came we always make everyone’s food together.”
Natsume: “Oh?”
Ukyou: “But I think it’s about time I find someone to replace my position.”
What is he suddenly saying?
Ukyou: “Hehe, just joking.”
Kyou-nii suddenly laughs.
“Of course, I don’t intend to hand over my position.”
A gentle but firm expression. It’s an expression I’ve seen countless times since I was a child.
(Kyou-nii…)
Sounds like he’s just talking about making food for the family.
But that sentence about making food with her made me very curious.
Was Kyou-nii really just talking about making food?
(Or was he talking about her?)
------Wait.
I’m overthinking it.
I should just stop thinking about it.
Besides, the Kyou-nii who had a fever today was already being really weird.
I’m probably just thinking too much.
Natsume: “Let’s forget about that for now.”
I said as I lit the fire underneath the pot on the stove.
Natsume: “I’ll make some porridge, do you want some?”
Ukyou: “Aah, thanks.”
Kyou-nii suddenly smiles a different smile to before, it’s a pure and happy smile.
Honestly, I felt relieved.
After ladling up the porridge, I set it in front of Kyou-nii with a spoon.
Ukyou: “Then, I’ll start eating.”
A few seconds later Kyou-nii’s expression became hard again.
Ukyou: “As I thought, I still can’t give it to you.”
Natsume: “Hah…?”
Kyou-nii slowly places the spoon on the table.
He turns to me with bright eyes.
Ukyou: “What is this salty taste?”
Natsume: “Huh?”
Ukyou: “This porridge, you put too much salt!”
I unwittingly stare at Kyou-nii’s expression.
Natsume: “Ah…haha…hahahahaha!”
Without realizing it I laughed out loud.
Natsume: “What the…Kyou-nii…You really were just talking about cooking? Hahaha… I was silly for overthinking it….hahaha!”
Ukyou: “What are you suddenly saying? Is there something weird Natsume?”
Kyou-nii started to raise his voice.
But I couldn’t stop laughing.

Morikawa Toshiyuki x Nojima Hirofumi
Ono Yuuki x Nojima Hirofumi
Saitou Souma
Synopsis: The death of me.
Review Proper 
Tumblr media
Bitch, I’m weak.
I don’t even know what to say.
I really didn’t expect (I did, but I didn’t want to) that Natsume Kazuki was going to provide us with that kind of backstory. I’ve been putting off both the BLCD and the manga for so long (this was released last year and I’ve had the manga since November and the BLCD since early February) because of this fear, but I think it was high time that I gathered all my balls to finally listen to it. My selfish ass waited for someone to upload the raws so that I wouldn’t need to open my own copy but nooooo the internet just wanted to act up and I had no choice but to open mine. Had I waited for the raws to load, I would’ve put the BLCD down and would have postponed it again. 
What a great life people who haven’t heard/listened to Nights Before Night must live. 😩 If I had a dollar for all the times this experience broke my heart, I would have enough money to go to the gym. There’s like a void in my heart and I could feel the air rush through it sometimes. It’s actually been a month since I’ve listened to both Hinadori and Nights and I’ve planned to put the reviews up right after I listened to them, but I just couldn’t move on from what happened in NBN and I couldn’t bear the thought of having to recall the events as I type my review down. 
This is probably the hardest review I’ve ever had to make. 
ANYWAY.
I don’t want to discuss the plot any further because I might just cry I want you all to experience that yourselves.
So we’re going to jump into the technicalities now.
The plot execution was great. They followed the manga to a T. Props to Marble Records for keeping the good streak up. 👏👏👏 The CD itself was quite long and it did the pacing justice - If you plan to listen to this, I suggest that you listen to only this on that day. You may think that you’d want to immediately jump into fluff something else after that, but trust me, nothing will register into your brain after listening to this BLCD. 
On the topic of voice acting, I really don’t have much to say other than praises because boy, these people don’t play around. I have to suck it up suck it up I WANNA CRY OMG I CAN’T applaud Nojima Hirofumi for being able to have fantastic chemistry with OKAA-SAN 😭😭😭 both Morikawa Toshiyuki and Ono Yuuki. I still did find his voice a little low to the point of hearing the strain in it, but it’s definitely better than when he did Flaver. I’m still adamant about saying that he’s more suited to being an uke. As for Morikawa...
Tumblr media
This isn’t what I meant when I said that I wanted to hear more of him. Not like this, man. Not like this. I have another CD of his in my next log tho. I hope it heals my aching heart.
Ono Yuuki, on the other hand, was the man, the martyr, the saint. I love how he voiced Yukitaka here because it was a lot like how he’d done Kuroko no Basuke’s Kagami and I personally think that that range suits him the best and he manages to use it to it’s full potential. His previous seme roles that I’ve listened to were mostly “gentleman on the sheets, but a freak in the sheets” roles and I really prefer his rougher/wilder roles over those. That reminds me, why the hell is Ono Yuuki up for ‘second man’ roles because he’s also the one who voiced Wonder Border’s Hiroharu (actually he was the ex, but you get the idea)? STOP IT, ONO. MY HEART CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH. But of course, this was much better than Wonder Border because Yukitaka wasn’t an asshole. I also think that this is by far, Ono Yuuki’s best performance in 2018. Better than DakaOtoko and Coyote. 👍
We’ve got great plot execution, truthfulness to the manga, great voice work, and chemistry. This is definitely up there in my list of the Best BLCDS of 2018. It’s probably even in second place only to be behind Kashikomarimashita, Destiny (what a fucking surprise). You can definitely read the manga along with listening to the BLCD - wait, I IMPLORE you to read it along for maximum pain. I mean, we’re all going to die anyway, might as well cartwheel to it. 👍 I just pray that Seraphic Deviltry can finish translating the series so that a lot more people can read and hopefully listen to this masterpiece. 🙏

Owlet’s inevitable Natsume Yuujinchou movie spiel
Ok, so the Natsume movie. This is a collection of my impressions and things I found significant, but it is spoilery as hell so it's under a cut, so if you want the plot to be a surprise maybe don't read this. And this with the caveat that I understood the gist of the movie but my Japanese is still really, really awful, so anyone who sees the movie who can understand Japanese well (like the folks at @apta-scans) are more than welcome to correct me on any of the details.
So first off, the youkai (the main one, though there are actually three in the story). He's the spirit of an old tree, and he has the power to alter memories, and to impersonate humans and use memory manipulation to integrate himself pretty flawlessly into people's lives. And everything about him breaks my heart. There's an elderly woman in the story who'd met Reiko once when she was a teenager (who Natsume comes across because he saw her in another youkai's flashback while returning a name), and the youkai is pretending to be her adult son so that she won't be lonely. He'd been hiding away in the tree for years and years before that point, but the woman came first as a child to the small shrine beside the tree and kept coming back throughout her life, and the impression I got was that she' s unable to have children (I may be vastly wrong about that, again anyone feel free to correct me), but the bottom line is she's lonely, and he doesn't have anyone either, so he finally leaves the tree so he can give her a family. I won't say how it all pans out, but in typical Natsuyuu fashion I wanted to ugly-cry in the theater. 
Second, the mini-Nyankos, if anyone wants to know how that went down, more or less what happens is that Sensei eats fruit produced by the youkai's tree (three gourd-looking things that have little cat-ears and are striped orange and gray, hrrrrm....), and then the next morning he becomes three of himself and none of them are able talk. And the Dogs' Circle is unsuccessful at both babysitting the minis and keeping them from running away and getting lost. It becomes clear that the minis have some of the effects of the tree in making people forget things/altering people's memories (Taki finds one of them, and ultimately winds up believing she's the granddaughter of the elderly woman, and forgets who Natsume and Tanuma even are). Also. I don't need to say this but they're so cute, holy shit. 
Third, it was brief but I think that the most poignant moment in the whole movie for me is when, after it's clear that the minis are altering people's memories, Natsume wakes up from a nightmare that the Fujiwaras straight-up forgot who he was. He wakes up yelling, and he just. Scoops up the only mini-Sensei that hasn't run away by that point, wordlessly holds him close, and is just so visibly shaken. Just the prospect of it is so terrifying to him, because for him the Fujiwaras are the foundation of his entire current life and without them he's faced with the prospect of having nothing and nobody all over again. Very well-done and very *ouch*.
Fourth. Tanuma, my boy. When Natsume loses two of the three minis, and Taki's mysteriously vanished too, Tanuma asks him what's going on, he sits him down and explains everything, and accepts Tanuma's help. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, ahem. And we got, just. A whole bunch of screentime of the two of them working together to Solve Problems (and my shipping heart was thrilled). And I think it's telling in terms of Tanuma's character development, too, that when shit hits the fan and Natsume knows he's going to have to face down a Big Bad Youkai (different one, not the tree youkai), he tells Tanuma to leave and go meet up with Taki, and Tanuma immediately agrees and goes. Was it hard for him to do that if Natsume was going to be in danger? Probably. Has he learned after Omibashira that he needs to trust Natsume's judgment and recognize his own limitations? Yes, and I am very proud of him.
Fifth. Natori. He does have a legitimate plot-pertinent reason for being there (he and some other exorcists have heard of the aforementioned Big Bad Youkai and are in the town to try to stop it), and in the end Natsume does need his help to seal the youkai, but the other fifty percent of his being there is absolutely for fanservice purposes (complete with his skeevy soundtrack theme that I hate). And naturally, he shows up and tries to exorcise the tree youkai, who is not the youkai he's after, and Natsume steps in to stop him like Oh My God Why Are You Like This. However. The two reasons I was glad he was in the movie are: him laughing at one of the mini-Nyankos and then promtply (and satisfyingly) getting whomped in the face for it; and then all three of the shiki getting a chance to shine and demonstrate what sexy scary badasses they are while aiding the exorcism.
Sixth. I'm not completely clear on everything that happened here because the language barrier really got in the way here, but Natsume meets someone who at one point was a childhood friend (I think Yuki was his name?). And when Natsume goes to move towards him to say hello, the kid kind of freezes up then flinches away, and Natsume's pretty bothered by it. We get a flashback of the two of them in elementary school, and they were friends for a short time (I *think* he may have told him he could see youkai, this is what I'm not clear on, and I wanna say that Yuki wasn't bothered by it and thought it was a neat secret, but I didn't understand enough to confirm that). Anyways the two of them go off into the woods to a waterfall one day, and there's a youkai there that threatens them, and Yuki goes to throw a rock at the waterfall and Natsume tackles him to the ground to stop him. And it shows them walking back home, and they're both a little battered and dirty, and Yuki's walking way ahead of him obviously hurt/confused/mad and Natsume just looks miserable. Anyhow, the movie ends with the two of them meeting back up in the present, and reconciling (I'm not sure but I think Natsume tells him he was just lying about the youkai stuff and that he's sorry, I really need to watch the movie translated because I want to know exactly what was said). I think it's good that the movie depicted that Natsume did have people who wanted to be his friend, but that those people ultimately hurt him or didn't stay. But the reconciliation scene showed that the bad endings didn't have to stay bad (Shibata's character serves the same purpose, what a tool, I love him). 
Anyways. My general takeaway from the movie is that all your memories are crucial to who you are as a person, the bad and the good, and for Natsume personally, the bad gave way to the good and was necessary to arrive there. That's all for now, I'm probably going to see it again with a friend next weekend so I'll add more to this if I see fit but mostly I can't wait for there to be a translation available. This movie was so amazing, and so very worth the wait.
