I love me a cunty lil man who pettily insults me half the time and trauma-dumps on me the other half 😍

[pixlokita]

I was crying from pain at the emergency room and the nurses were bitching about me not dying so they couldn’t help right away even if I kept passing out and had been there for a long time, this sweet old Russian lady who was also admitted since earlier stood up and walked next to me and kept comforting me and asking how I was holding up, she kept checking in on me and being so sweet and going around asking if everyone was doing ok or just distracting family members of patients with nice conversations. She called out the doctors and nurses for not caring, she sat next to me and kept making sure I was ok and then gave me her phone number when she got discharged so I’d follow up with her. Honestly my day coulda been hell today but this one lady made it so bearable it’s not going to be remembered as a bad horrible traumatizing time, I got to meet an actual angel and I’m so happy about it.

[anxiousapplepie]

I found you through isat but now I'm more invested in your colourful guys, the rose knights and that lore seem so cool

(Also it looks me wayyyyy too long to realise the comic about the voice wasn't some kinda ISAT au and the conversation wasn't between siffrin and Isabeau)

I am honestly starting to get scared how many of you guys are expressing interest in my lil rosie kids/vpos <3 Pfft I gotta admit, one of the reasons why I got back so hard into my RK story was because I was squinting at the ISAT cast like "ay so what hair colors and powers would suit you best if you were in the RK world" and I even drew some quick headshots a few weeks ago cuz I think clearer when I have visuals

SO I TOTALLY HAVE AN ISAT AU WHERE ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE COLORFUL AND WORK WITH ROSE KNIGHT LORE. But Sif doesn't have blue hair. And Isabeau would be better as a pink (but there's a chance he's hiding his real hair color so I'm taking that with a pinch of salt)

[spacebubblehomebase]

You mean since Adam technically Invented lesbians?

Yeah, it broke me too.

So true. (LOLOLOL. What do you mean Lilith's not a Lesbian? Why did she end up marrying such a BABYGIRL then? Make it make sense! Jk. XD)

Re-watching wakfu for the first time in years and s1 Yugo was so silly???

dude discovered he could make portals at will and his first thought after actually acknowledging it is "i can do so many cool pranks with this"

[babymillennial]

At the risk of setting off a bomb in the Aaravos and Leola fandoms, I do wonder if we ever talk about how--if Aaravos's description of his daughter is accurate--she would probably hate what he's become in her absence.

------

The first time you met Reacher, you were on the Greyhound and didn't even catch his name.

You didn't know when he entered the bus because you were busy with a crochet project and it needed all your attention.

It had been a hard time for you. Your father had died recently, a few years after your mother, leaving you with your parents' house, and after every bureaucratic thing had been dealt with and you felt like you should, at last, have time to breathe - you found that you actually could not.

Everything was too much, your new homeownership just put the cherry on top. You didn't have the heart to sell it. But you also couldn't stay there. Everything felt... suffocating. Everywhere memory ghosts of your parents were lingering.

You just had to get out.

And so you did, one rainy morning.

No real goal in mind you packed a bigger backpack, a smaller backpack and a project bag with wools and tools and left.

As your bus took a turn to leave the station, a sunbeam hit your face and you smiled back at it, knowing you were on the right path, and you sighed out breath of relief.

You didn't even know where you would get out but you were sure you would know it when the right moment had come.

Time passed. Miles passed. Cities passed, while people boarded the bus and left again.

You stared out of the window, brain empty - finally! - and admired the views.

You fell asleep, and woke up again.

An idea hit you, and you got a 4 mm crochet hook and a plushy yarn out of your tools and wools bag and started making an axolotl plushie for a friend's daughter who's birthday was coming up.

****

A guy with a guitar entered the bus.

A busker as it turned out, with a bright yellow t-shirt under a flowy colourful Hawaiian shirt and a straw hat, and he entertained the passengers with a few upbeat tunes and smiles. You put five bucks into the hat he offered around afterwards, secretly hoping he'd take a break because even though you liked the music, you did not like to be locked in with music you had no control over.

****

Another guy entered, hair slicked back, dark polo shirt, sunglasses tucked into the unbutttoned button placket. He looked around, made a beeline straight towards you, and sat down in the seat beside you. He struck up a conversation as soon as the bus moved again, and you started to regret travelling at all because he just did not. stop. talking.

At first you nodded and smiled politely. After all, you did like meeting people and getting to know their stories. But this guy soon became *too much*. Too much talk, and much too close for your liking.

And no escape.

You told him, politely, but very directly, that you did not want him to sit beside you and asked him to chose another seat from the plenty that were free at this moment. But this spurred him even more as he tried to convince you that this was a long ride and wasn't it nice to have somebody to talk to and that the two of you could have some fun and then his hand was on your thigh...

You tensed up, but a plan had already formed in your mind. With jittering hands, blood rushing in your ears, you grabbed your bundle of 3 mm double pointed needles from your project bag and without any more warning rammed them into the back of his hand.

He jumped up, bleeding, screaming, throwing insults and then his fist in your direction.

But another fist hit him first.

The big blond guy from the seat in front of you had gotten up, punched the sleazy guy, making him stumble backwards a few steps, and now stood blocking the entrance to your seat.

"You heard her. Leave her alone."

"Mind your own business!" Sleazeman hollered and tried to throw another punch which... well, proved that he must have been lacking some essential survival instincts, because the blond guy was about 6'5" and built like a brick shithouse. One more punch and Sleazo tumbled back, nose bleeding, words failing.

Your rescuer whispered something into his ear. Given the how much Sleazo's eyes widened in fear you could only imagine it being something along the lines of "If you touch anybody ever again, I will break other things than just your nose," (and that wouldn't have beeen far away from the truth). Sleazo whimpered and nodded and went to sit down quietly at the back of the bus, and was not seen again after the next stop.

The big guy watched him with a sharp stare, and only when Sleazeman sat down, not moving, turned around.

"You okay?" he asked as he returned to his seat.

Still shaking, you nodded bravely, finishing a big swig of water from your canteen. "Thanks!"

He nodded back in acknowledgement and sat down, but soon turned around again, with an inquisitive quirk on his brows.

"What did you stab him with?"

You huffed a laugh and it released some of your tension. "Well.. I've been trying, and so far failing, to learn how to knit socks and I have these double pointed needles made of titanium... " You held them up, bunched together with a rubber band, a protective cover on one side of the tips, and a little blood on the other side.

He chuckled. "I’ve seen my share of things, but up till now no knitting needles in a fight."

You shrugged. "I got them from my grandma. I think she might have stabbed some more people with them. … They may be actually cursed and need a blood sacrifice every once in a while, lest one’s knitting turns to shit."

"Oh, so then that’s a good time to try again."

"Knitting socks?"

"Yeah! Now that they’re 'recharged'?"

"Ha!" you laughed. "You might be right. But I wanna finish this axolotl first." You held up a pastel pink coloured three-dimensional crochet shape that was indeed slowly starting to look like an axolotl.

"Good luck then!"

"Thanks! And thanks again for your help." Your smile was still a little shaken, but genuine. He nodded, and turned around again, giving you the space and peace the other guy had denied you.

****

You did almost finish the axolotl, but fell asleep again.

When you woke up, the tall blond guy was gone. You looked around for your crochet stuff, finding it in the seat beside you. Apparently it had fallen down when the sleepiness took you, and somebody had picked it up and you had a feeling that it had been the helpful stranger.

The thing that makes SaboAce, AceSan and MarcoAce funny to me is the ability of Ace to fall in love with blondes.

This mans mommy issues at full force right there, more so with one of the ships than the others xd.

Boi sees a blonde and immediately goes *that is a wife* hahaha

Good for him, good for him

[7goodangel]

BNHA 428: This chapter made me annoyed and yet it was still somewhat better than I expected?

Himichako. I like it, it's a good ship- not one I'm crazy about, but the vision is compelling. I mean, the loved girl on hard times who admires honesty but represses her feelings + hunger motifs, and the formerly wealthy and rejected girl who's honest to herself but masks her sadness from others + drinking motifs? Being so similar at their core from selfishness, bleeding love, admiration and imitation? Yeah, why not, sign me up, it looks fun.

(plus Ochako needed a subplot that would shy away from Izuku because oh boi her writing is messy-)

Then the ending annoucement happened and I immediately went "oh no" when I remembered that tidbit. But. Yesterday, I remembered this page from 424, which in hindsight makes sense:

Shoto moving forward and choosing to not dwell on his past anymore, because he wants to know the man he wants to become alongside his family of choice.

Spinner feeling so much grief for Tomura inside his room, his extra Quirks add up to it. Further gut points as it was all because of AFO, but the wrong person is getting the blame.

Ochako looking lost and dissatisfied, not really saying anything about Himiko's status; then her hidden injury which left a scar that'll never go away, nothing can change that.

And then, well, a sky with a chance to fight for a "bright future". Which is the most ambiguous you can get for anything, really, sequel or not.

(sidenote: is it me or the panel where she's touching her stab wound looks like a tangent line?)

Okay so, I went into the chapter, with Pikahlua's translations. It was A Chapter alright-

If it wasn't the antepenultimate chapter, the "filler" would've been welcomed. But I guess it means we should focus on the smaller details, I guess? Like that 1st year saying Izuku filled him with courage and Izuku immediately thinking of Spinner's pain? Yeah he hates himself and that people call him a hero, when he considers himself a murderer, and will never forgive himself for failing Tenko, therapy for him and everyone in Class 2-A please- yeah it was a fun detail. Also the throb of hiding your pain of "defeating" someone you wanted to save but in the end everything is miserable but everyone else is happy and you don't wanna be a bother. Fun.

Also I wasn't the one to point the out, but looking at the uniform (U.A. uniform blazer for boys + the tie with a dot for girls), the student who's a Izuku fan is probably trans/gnc, which I appreciate a lot :D (Damn Izuku attracts so many queer people I wonder if that's a sign- /hj)

Also, I guess Class A stating "[Bakugou], Midoriya and Todoroki were at the heart of it all" then focusing on Ochako is good foreshadowing on how her own battle wasn't fully recorded? It's like saying in the end her fight didn't matter, but the other ones went "well", so she's trying (and slowly failing) to keep her sadness at bay because, well, everyone's happy, so who cares? Another "throb".

I thought since the Todoroki family issues are out in the open, didn't they record the whole thing? Then I re-read it, they only saw the family stopping Touya from exploding. So they didn't see Shoto trying to talk to Touya, which means none of the LoV were humanized. Fuck's sake.

After that, I get focusing on the first years and civilians wanting to help and all, but it feels like a repeat of everything seconds before Jakku, so I assume it's a way for them to pretend things are normal? But not-quite-quoting Katsuki (<- which I will point out for my sake is very much alive and well and- oh boi LFtR will kill me) and Edgeshot here because it made me smile:

"Will you...go back to the way you were?" "I plan to attain something greater than what I was originally!"

So, yeah I suppose he'll be fine eventually. (Best J. really loving Edgeshot even as a worm, honestly, goals)

Again with Izuku remembering saying "[He'll] bring it all back" and apologizing for "not keeping his promise" and others telling him to not blame himself and they can reconstruct as many times as it takes. Again, gave me a little smile, but not for long-

Finally, Ochako pretending things are fine. Hello there, Sports Festival/Provisional License!Ochako I missed you- /hj (I miss the dorms era in general, actually.)

So... *sigh* Full disclosure: I wasn't looking forward to Himichako as we were getting 5/10 pages for the "conclusions" in the previous two, I thought Ochako would be off about Himiko being depressed about the League. But since she's MIA, red flags are now red herrings, and it's better than the dead outcome. If Ochako got another person dying in her arms that'd just break her character.

A blood transfusion takes hours, she couldn't been doing that for more than 20min, if it was gonna kill anyone it'd be Ochako. Either Himiko ran away or got arrested, and Ochako feels guilty because she doesn't know if she's dead or not. Not great, but until I see a corpse she ain't dead. Besides: Touya, Shoto, Edgeshot, Katsuki, Toshinori, Ochako herself, all physically hurt unlike her, and yet they live.

And then we have Izuku showing up. I'm upset he used OFA embers for this, but eh, it's Izuku, do I expect anything else?

Rolling with the assumption Himiko died (like our POV characters), Izuku would need to face his own failure in Ochako- Failed to save two people like she failed Himiko, but it'd be so. Empty. Ochako was true to herself, while Izuku gave nothing but "I want to save that crying kid" while fighting Tenko. The most they can do is bond with "failing" and "this isn't what we fought for". This is not really a moment where he can be a shoulder to cry on, it'd come across as hypocritical /neg.

The only way it could make sense it without being shallow on Mr. Control = Repress Your Heart's part (as he didn't open up to the two people who died in "his watch") is Ochako telling how Himiko loved yet seeing him repressing this part of his is idiotic? She likes people who are true to themselves, which Izuku hasn't been for ages, leading to him realizing something. I thought it'd be through a DvsK3 but. I'll take it, two chapters left, I just want his thoughts (and for them to talk but that can happen in the last one).

They only recorded Shoto stopping Touya from being a suicidal bomb, Ochako floating a bunch of Twice!Himiko clones and Izuku entering a coccon, popping out armless, getting them back, punching Tenko to death. The "I want to save [them]" wasn't registered, it makes sense they're (well, Izuku and Ochako mostly) weirded out about this, dissatisfied like most readers are (sidenote: why when it comes to the trio either Ochako or Shoto get sidelined? So much could tie their stories together and yet-)

It's still a tough pill. I'm not a villain stan, just wondering if those fights were for nothing- the humanity of Tenko and Himiko? Can't be proved for anyone else, since they weren't recorded.

And I don't know if anyone saw the same thing, but those "city lights" look like the bubbles from Ochako's awakening, maybe we'll get a Blackwhip or Entrance Exam callback? Maybe it's what the tagline meant by "hidden feelings", since she unlocked it to reach Himiko and doesn't think anyone would understand why. I hope it's just a nice visual though.

If Himiko is truly dead though... You know, I headcannoned the characters were telling the story through confessionals/recordings to register it to the world so they'd learn from that, but I guess the interviews Aizawa was talking about seemed more likely, which. Well it's something, but I thought it'd be everyone instead of just Class A. Idk. The idea the LoV didn't change anything, or that they did change things but don't get to see it, is bitter.

So uh. Yeah, those are my thoughts. I'm not sure how to feel about it, on one hand I want Izuku to finally open up but on the other, it feels like it'll be at Himiko and Ochako's expense by involving him in something that's theirs now. And there's a chance we'll get the "nothing is fine" from Ochako- god I'm fearing the discourse next week already :DDDD

... Man, and this is a bad timing to be in the fandom, considering the LFtR episode airs this Saturday (which will be yesterday by the time this post goes up and I'll be crying about that instead-), so uh. Yeah, this fandom will be emotionally devastated for two reasons XD

Okay, so I'll try ending this on a more optimistic note: I think Himiko is alive, and Ochako just doesn't know it, which is why we're getting 0 confirmation and a breakdown. Izuku's confrontation with her can make or break this plot, but as long as 1) we acknowledge the emotional, different stakes between the Himichako fight and Tenko vs. Izuku one and 2) it doesn't end in a confession (and let's be real, it won't), then we're probably good (sadly, if you disregard the LoV status). I still think it's an ass pull for the camera battery to go out though.

But no matter how this goes: C'mon, two chapters left now, this one was wasted on the first years, smh, let this sequel hopium be a reality I wanna know who's the 425 guy, not the poor first year who's gonna replace Shindo Yo in fanfics- /hj

ASDFGHJKL

Just been talking to this npc and he was like 'oh hey!! Nice of them to send out a guy so soon after I sent my letter!' and when link did his little talking hand gestures my full expectation was the next words to be 'omg the hero?? Zeldas knight?? The champion of hyrule? You guys were missing it was all over the kingdom!!'

Npc: oh, so you're just some guy? Man, I thought they would have sent someone out by now, I've been waiting ages...

A) no you haven't

B) Link, WHAT????

Asdfghjkl??? NO WONDER he's been Tony Hawked he's not even introducing himself with his name??!

Actually... Given what other people have been calling him, I think he's been introducing himself as 'just a wandering swordsman'.

LINK THAT WAS YOUR FAULT THE WHOLE TIME???

[spacebubblehomebase]

Do you know when the stargazing comic is going to be released?

Thank you for asking! ^v^ Due to my own assignments and organization projects, I've been struggling to find some time to draw my AU. It's not like the doodles I've been posting lately where I can just do whatever I want all silly-nilly. This entire story is practically my BABY! I've been planning their storyline and even THUMBNAILING my art! Thumbnails!!! You best believe I'll go all out for it! Giving y'all only the best. ✊😤 That being said, I HAVE been updating my Twitter about it lately. The next update will now be the actual story part of my AU since we're done with character introductions. (Yes. We've only JUST made it past the intro. Why did I do this to myself again-) So it means less writing (YAY), but MORE drawing (FUC-) for me! Like I've said, updates usually depend on my schedule cause I'm really doing this more for my own desire to see it through, but learning people are still interested in seeing more of it helps more than you know! 🥰✨

(So no. I've got no specific time down unfortunately, but that sounded a lot more disappointing on it's own. 😅 Still, as you can see, things are getting done. 👌👌)

[fortune-maiden]

I’m sure something like this already exists probably but I’m really craving a mdzs back to the future AU where Jin Ling travels back to the sunshot campaign…. just in time to witness the soup incident and rip Jin Zixuan a new one for making a woman cry like that.

And not realizing until afterwards that those were his parents

Well now he’s made an enemy of his father who has never been spoken to like that and who is this unruly child wearing Jin robes and sporting the vermillion mark? How dare?

Jin Ling, in a panic and definitely not knowing the sunshot timeline well enough: I’m Meng Yao

(It’s fine he thinks. The real Meng Yao had a brief stint in the Jin camp before joining the Wen as a spy. And his father and everyone important in the Jin clan never met the real one until after the war. And LXC and NMJ are on different fronts. So this cannot come back to haunt him.)

Meanwhile Jiang Yanli has a dilemma. All her life she’s built up an image of JZX in her head, the man she would one day marry, who’d take care of her and treat her well. And he’s humiliated her time and again and shown that he never cared to get to know her at all. But here is Meng Yao, a gentleman who spoke up for her despite his own poor standing and at great risk to himself. He looks quite similar to JZX too (well obviously, they are half brothers), but has the sort of righteous temper she’s always imagined on her ex-fiancée. And he seems to get along okay with her brothers!

Maybe it won’t hurt to get to know him a little better…

[sombra7567]

Me from five years ago: "So lemme just get this straight-" Me now: "Mmhm?" *points at Isaac* "So this guy- just randomly approaches us in an alleyway, takes us back to his house without asking, and says we're his housekeeper now?" "Yeah." "And we're just okay with this?" "Well, Listener in this case was pretty down on their luck so... yeah, we're okay with it." "..." *looks at Xanthus* "Ok, listen, just hear me out on him-" "Are you just thirsty-" "No- technically he was-" "And then he breaks into our bedroom-" "Ok, there's a lot more lore to it than just that, would you just finish listening to it please-"
