S5 opener REAL

[mettywiththenotes]

Ngl Mic's reaction is giving me Nana vibes. The whole grief of their situations being brought up and wanting so desperately for it to end already, to choose the easy way out just so it stops hurting

Nana going from crying because Izuku wanted to save Tomura and feeling grateful to then shouting at Izuku to kill him already. Mic going from "if you aren't Shirakumo fade away but if you are come back to us" to then grabbing Kurogiri by his clothes ready to punch him and yelling about how he shouldn't have given him the benefit of the doubt

I think it's also shown in the way Mic lists things that dehumanise Kurogiri too. "He's not crying, it's just the rain" "he has no tear ducts, he's a noumu" It's so clear he wants this to be over already

Same thing happened with Nana and Tomura. The vestiges too. They kept saying how he is destruction incarnate, how it's too late for him, how he's a "thing" "not human", just like Tomura said himself

Mic and Nana just let themselves think that way because it's the easy way out. They put a lid on their feelings, and in the final war arc it's like the lids got ripped off and it's all coming out now

That's why I think Aizawa and Izuku sort of parallel here. They wonder about their supposed enemies. "Why didn't he get rid of us? Why didn't he kill us when he could have?" Aizawa asks, physically reaching out to Kurogiri. "I have to ask why he can't let go of that sad lonely past of his!" Izuku says, also attempting to reach out to Tomura in his own way

"That's where their origins lie" Aizawa says as he thinks back to those school days. And Izuku was in Tomura's mind, literally at the center of his "origin"

Even though it's painful for Nana, Tomura and Mic, Aizawa and Izuku press on anyway because they can't help but wonder whether things can change. If things don't have to be this way

TEAM FUTURE PROPAGANDA!

Think of how the next game could look like! So shiny, so cool!

We can get hella creative new weapons and gear if the next game's got that futuristic theme to it!

Possible cyberpunk aesthetic for the next game?!

A chance for those who weren't pleased by the S2 final fest results to get that futuristic world of order they fought for (I guess)!

In the future, anything can happen! There's almost infinate possibilities to what could happen!

If you like Deep Cut that much then fight for them (I don't really like Deep Cut but I'll be on team future regardless)!

Splatoon Future sounds like a cool af name for the next Splatoon!

[bambayah]

Wanna try to bring them tomorrow to a local con!

Look at how cute MiShanks are being squished together (and how happy the older Shanks is being on top of him 👀 while Mihawk’s just annoyed).

Sadly, younger Shanks can’t fit with them or it would be a threesome sandwich.

Then there’s Crocodile judging them 🤪

Older Shanks having no left arm is still so funny to me 😂 Even the vibrancy of his red hair diminished when he got older 😂

Hopefully, I can find MiShanks merch tom (but I doubt it).

Arson and Dare are ready for the final fest.

I miss camping and I've never gone to a festival.

SL Rag spoilers below

just another Haein ramble post don mind me.

Look man I love Haein as much as the next person but I feel like, even with the new content of her coming out (from SL Rag to Arise to the anime) she's still lacking in something of her character. And, as I began to look more into her I kinda saw that the main culprit of her characterization is that: She is perfect.

Too perfect, I mean she holds no flaws or anything that can set her aside from the rest (and no being an s rank and female doesn't automatically make her different), and even if she does she doesnt hold them to the extent that other characters might have them, or she just has the same thoughts as anyone else. Her personality as well never clashes with the other hunters or is too different, especially from Jinwoo-- and okay yeah that's expected bc trophy wife trope and all that–  and in a sense I think this might derive from the fact that everyone wants her to still be stuck into this mold of “perfect wife + perfect mother” that doesn't have the same level of flaws as the rest. 

She wants a comfortable life, like Jinwoo, she trains constantly, like Chiyeol, she is not burdened by trauma unlike Juhee who leaves the story or Jinah who actively tries to stop his brother at one point from entering dungeons (and stopping the MC? Clashing due to real life precautions and worries? And expanding on that? No sir we don't do that). She is strong but not too strong to be a threat (in their first meeting maybe but then Jinwoo just levels up in the castle and then bam stronger than her again) just like… yeah everyone else lol. She fights Jinwoo at one point but it's not due to some difference in thinking or to stop him from something, rather Haein just wants to spend time with him. And yeah despite wanting a comfortable life, or so told so far, she is still placed in the spotlight during her idol years, and has to deal with the most supernatural shit going on in her life constantly. She might be strong but she is still a damsel in distress, and her olympic background… I mean it's there.

I like the implication that she might have been stressed about appearing perfect during her idol life, especially pressured to do great by the adults around her just as she was pressured to be a maintainer of peace when she was an S rank (friend’s death and all), but that… doesn't get anywhere, and I admit Haein hinted to being stressed was only in the date scene with Jinwoo, the rest was expanded by Arise and Rag, still, still its not treated as anything else except ‘oh she is so camery shy’ and ‘oh she just wants a normal life being a normal wife’ (mind you Jinwoo is there as well but he even he doesn't see a problem with that except for when the cameras are pointed at him to which he just makes all the photos look black) and not, idk, dwell on the amount of pressure she would have been faced in since she was a child, the failure of not meeting those expectations in her past life and wishing to meet them when she was given the chance to become an s rank hunter, or how all of that constant training might have affected her life and social ties with other children who werent as talented as her. Or maybe how Haein has had to constantly keep people at a distance due to her nose problems, plus her almost never appearing in the news (so it was said during her hunter years, bc she had signed a contract with Jongin for this to not happen i think) leading everyone to not get to know her as well as the rest of the other hunters who were practically seen as celebrities.

No? None of that? Not even tackling the fact that olympic athletes tend to suffer from burnout, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, or how traumatic the double dungeon must have been since it was the first time Haein, an S rank, had ever come so close to dying (as far as we know in the og sl), and it cant be backed away with saying ‘oh that would be too complex for the story!’ when we’ve seen Haein trying to challenge her fears against Beru during the Ahjin guild arc. 

It's also not needed for her to be so overly complex either, I was listing examples out of the many routes in which her story could be fleshed out more. She can have a small healing moment to herself or slowly unwrap the tolls of pressure she’s been under, and that would be enough, because tbh, she does deserve some time to breathe, as a character, as herself. For the most part she’s never alone, in every scene we see other she either is with someone (mostly a guy) or thinking about someone (90% Jinwoo), so seeing her outside of anyone’s interaction, seeing her go on about her daily life or her daily struggles, or seeing how Haein fixes her own situations without the reliance on others, that I think, would be more needed than ‘just more Haein scenes’ 

Arise has one scene which I like, her talking with Chiyeol after his double dungeon incident. Both characters definitely needed something like that in my part, 1) because it highlights Chiyeols maturity over the certain years he has been as a hunter, and 2) because it emphasizes Haein’s relationship with her teacher and how she’s not only learning to be skilled but also the pain that comes with losing your comrades afterwards.

And in Rag, though I find it way too absurd to the point that its funny that Haein has managed to protect an entire village, on her own, for the past 5 years, with daggers, in her 40s, no experience whatsoever in a fight unless it was also transferred alongside her memories, and also had no qualms in protecting the race of beasts that had once pose such a level of danger Jinwoo himself rewinded time itself— I do like her interactions with Sirka,  and it posses such an interesting dynamic to see considering she is one of the few humans who has managed to maintain a connection and lived alongside intelligent magic beasts like he elves (Suho being the other which is… interesting actually when you think about it considering Jinwoo is somewhat yes and not on the list). 

Again, she is so interesting in her own right, but the thing is that we never see her act alone or be solely in the spotlight, and don't get me wrong, this also goes from the other characters too. But with her I feel like too much of what she could be or experienced is brushed off too quickly or not given enough time to expand. 

So anyways, I will like to see where she might go off from here foward, especially in rag, and the anime.

Under  the  sultry  New  Orleans  sky,  in  the  year  1912,  the  air  thrums  with  the  infectious  pulse  of  live  jazz.  The  party  spills  out  onto  a  cobblestone  street  lined  with  gas  lamps  casting  a  warm,  flickering  glow.  A  brass  band,  its  members  dressed  in  crisp,  white  jackets  and  black  bow  ties,  commands  a  stage  set  up  against  the  backdrop  of  a  grand,  ivy-clad  building.  The  trumpet's  bold  notes  interlace  with  the  smooth,  soulful  strains  of  the  clarinet,  its  melody  dancing  through  the  balmy  evening  air.

Guests,  adorned  in  their  finest  summer  attire,  mingle  with  animated  chatter.  Gentlemen  sport  linen  suits  and  Panama  hats,  while  ladies  glide  in  flowing,  floral-patterned  gowns  with  wide-brimmed  hats  adorned  with  feathers  and  ribbons.  The  scent  of  magnolia  blossoms  mingles  with  the  aroma  of  cigars  and  the  occasional  waft  of  bourbon  and  copper.

Servers  in  uniforms  move  gracefully  among  the  crowd,  offering  glasses  of  chilled  champagne  and  tall,  frosty  mint  juleps,  their  silver  trays  glinting  under  lamplight.  Laughter  and  lively  conversation  create  an  ambience  of  joyful  noise,  punctuated  by  the  occasional  clink  of  glasses  and  the  rhythmic  shuffle  of  dancers'  feet  on  the  cobblestones.  Louis,  joined  by  his  companion,  Lestat,  sits  at  a  prime  front-row  table,  its  centerpiece  a  small  vase  holding  a  single,  elegant  rose.

In  one  hand,  Louis  entertains  a  flute  of  champagne,  the  bubbles  rising  in  a  constant,  delicate  stream,  sparkling  with  every  motion.  His  other  hand  rests  casually  on  the  table,  fingers  drumming  lightly  to  the  infectious  rhythm  of  the  jazz  band.  As  the  rhythms  pulse  through  the  air,  Louis  leans  toward  Lestat  with  a  shy  smile.

His  voice,  tinged  with  his  sweet  Creole  drawl,  murmurs,  "Y'know,  Les,  this  night's  been  good  as  gold  so  far...  Can't  help  but  think  it's  'cause  you're  here  with  me."  Thrumming  fingers  pause  only  to  inch  toward  Lestat's  splayed  hand.  A  discreet  brush  of  their  fingertips,  a  quiet,  private  display  meant  only  for  them.

hello !!!!!!

first of all, i wanted to say that I LOVE JOURNEY TO THE ATTIC SO MUCH MY HEART IS ACHING

especially when i found a fic through searching the platonic relationship tag?? IVE BEEN FED

the way you portray the characters are so good that im smiling so wide while reading. AND THE WORLDBUILDING, THE WORLDBUILDING!!!!!! ive legit sobbed so hard throughout the fic and especially at 47 like??????? ok, youve done it

i was also wondering if youre going to do a nightbringer adaption?? if not, it's fine! jtta is enough to feed me and make me cry about everything LMAOOO

ahh thank you so much!! always v v happy to hear that <33

as for your question, i don't have plans to do a full-length nb adaptation, but i've been contemplating adding a fic for scattershot au/hypothetical oneshots - and i do have a few pieces of a jtta nb concept written, so it'd go in there!! that's all subject to change though, i'm still kind of see-sawing on things to do after i've finished the fic

but!! in the mean-time, these are the snippets that i've written:

[taplaos]

[ OC- Marlin ]

Marlin is technically trespassing into the past without permission. It isn't his domain. He been sneaking into the past without being noticed....besides he's dissing work and that's a big NO! 1. It's forbidden to take any humans out of their timeline.

2. No Timekeeper is allowed to interfere with humans

3. If Past or Future fines out what Marlin is doing, they'll close the door to the past forever. 4. SPOILER ALERT he does and well.... she's past tense now.... 🪦

i don't really write poetry often, but whenever i do, i find myself having the most bizarre fixations

stuff like, "okay, the word 'reached' would be PERFECT here if it had a slightly different but insane connotation that i made up in my head. and the word 'stretched' ALMOST works as a replacement, but i just *really* need that r-sound instead of a str-sound, even though this is free verse and i don't really have a strict phoneme thing going on here, it's just. the vibes of 'str' are rancid, right there, specifically, okay. also, crucially, 'stretched' does NOT have the insane connotation i made up in my head. and for some reason the part of me that makes up connotations simply CANNOT do it for this slightly different word. anyway whatever we're using 'reached' #shipit"

this absolutely cannot be the right way to write poetry, right. the people who do this For Real have gotta have a system or something. or are they just following their bizarre fixations to a higher plane of existence than the one i'm on. and if so can i hitchhike with them sometime

[onthehighwaytomel]

I admit I haven't been super on top of the news lately (moving next week, work stress, recent birthday plans, protecting my mental health, etc.)

But isn't it a good thing that Biden stepped down? He's clearly not fit for four more years (or even one more election cycle) because of his age, health, and mental capacity. And he would be extremely unlikely to win against Trump, even more so after 7/13.

I'm no Harris stan by any means; I'll be holding my nose and voting for her, just like I did with Biden and Hillary. And I know it's not ideal to change candidates less than four months out. But at least she's not decrepit and seems to be mentally present and engaged enough for this kind of thing. It was the right decision, one that needed to be made for a while now. We didn't need Senator Feinstein 2: Electric Boogaloo.

The bar might be in hell, but I'd rather have the only actually viable candidate against Trump clear that bar.
