This off-white t-shirt that was for sale at some shows during the 2008 Honda Civic Tour was really popular and was usually the one you'd see people asking other fans to grab for them in late spring because their show sold out in their size. This is the shirt that was sewn into a vest for Ryan that season btw:

FBR added this shirt to their webstore in August 2008 and some sizes sold out quickly but then got restocked. I remember some people complaining that FBR's shirt was a slightly different color than the one on tour, but others said it was the same. Idk, it looked like the same general off-white color to me. The band's name was still on the back of the right sleeve:

I liked this design because it was SO different from most t-shirt designs in this era (like in general, not just PATD) and was way more minimalist. A fan created some pngs that we could print out to iron on our own shirts, so I'll add them here if anyone wants them. They used the "Big Noodle Tilting" font and created their own heart:

That fall Hot Topic also came out with an off-white tote that had the same large "reinvent love" design on one side. Then the design of the band name (from the t-shirt's sleeve) got a heart added and was enlarged to be the graphic on the other side of the tote. The inside of the bag was a floral pattern that reminded me of the striped hoodie's lining:

FBR clearly loved how successful this whole design was. The webstore included a bonus sticker in the order packages for P!ATD fans in fall 2008:

The Rock Band Live Tour shows in fall 2008 used the same type of graphic:

And the shows on that tour had a black tote & shirt for sale:

Spencer did an interview with Out.com this season that had this question:

The most popular items at your merch booth seem to be a t-shirt and bag that say “Reinvent Love,” which is such a strong, inclusive message. Tell me about how that became the band slogan. It started out as a lyric in “Mad as Rabbits.” It was the last song we were recording for the album, and as we figured out how to fit it into the end of the song, it took on some more anthem-style cheer. As we went on tour, me and Ryan [Ross, Panic’s guitarist] talked about making a “Reinvent Love” shirt. At first it was just going to be on the Fueled By Ramen web store, just a limited edition thing because it didn’t have our band name on the front, and we didn’t know how many people would want to wear that. It ended up being a lot more popular than we thought it would. We were ending all of the concerts with that song, so that was the last thing that people were hearing. We wouldn’t want to be a part of anything that wasn’t that kind of that message. If there’s going to be some saying associated with our band, that’s a pretty good one. It goes along with everything we want to represent and the way that we feel.

This bracelet was added to FBR's webstore in December 2008 (after the Pretty. Odd. era had basically ended & around the time that Live in Chicago was released):

By the time this necklace got added to FBR's webstore in January 2009, a lot of fans were tired of this theme:

The necklace spawned more fan jokes about what was coming next at that point... my favorite was still the musical toaster:

So in March 2009 FBR just added the black shirt & tote to their webstore (the ones that were sold at shows in fall 2008) and then let the phrase rest so they could soon move onto overusing the return of the exclamation mark. lol jk.

hange y novia de mexicana

synopsis: Hange and a mexicana novia headcanons part 2

Osita note: hange is given gender neutral pronouns, mentions of erueri (idk how to say it lmao), Mexican culture, Mexican slang, also some baddie shit lol A LITTLE BIT OF NSFW(car sex, food play), generational trauma. Tias being exposed.

It’s their funeral again, but anyways here’s my lovely moots tag list @emomanswhore @roronoaswifey @roronoacherries @sanjis-all-blue @sanjisblackasswife @euphofic @noawithlove @luffyinlove @hqkalon @yourrfavzxri @abbyslev @hangespublicist @hangeslovers-world @azelmawrites @jujuyii @honeybleed @backwzzds @neptunes1nterweb @theemrsjaeger @chrollohearttags @cottonconnielvr @ginger4sugar @mommypieck @usopps-devotee @punktastics @kazushawty @etherealxmaya @forever-rogue @prncssmimi

- y/n is majorly a chismosa and so is hange

- they’re gonna fuck you the minute y’all leave from having dinner with your family in their damn car. “Does that feel good??” They’re gonna whisper in your ear as they’re in the drivers seat rubbing your clit as you nod whimpering yes.

- always touching your thighs!! NO REASON

- loves your kisses, and they love your physical touch. Always craving to touch you and to be close to you.

-they buy you pan dulce every time you come over. Because they know how much you crave for it.

- “hey!! I have this for you!!” They give you a bag of flaming hot cheetos with lime, slices in a bag. When you’re on your period. you just fry and hug them!!

- “hey do you wanna come over??”

- “I cant.”

-“why??”

-“my mom said I went out already three times today.” Which is translating that you need to come over this time. And they do.

-hange would be sooo confused the first time their gf says that but they get the hang of stuff quickly fs 😭

- when you do your thing and holding Hanges hand it’s adorable like yes. “Idc if we’re going out we’re holding hands the whole. damn. Time.”

-“that’s fine by me!-“ Hange is literally such a happy partner fr. They just love to be around you.

-Hange learns to keep extra grocery bags, when you notice this you’re like.. 😀😀

-“where did my partner go!?” You’re shook and pretty sure hallucinating.

-the minute at a carne asada when a new baby is born EVERYONES taking the baby. Even HANGE

-“mija when are you and Hange getting married?” hange tried to answer as they get cut off by y/ns tias.

-“CALLATE PUTAAAA!!” A drunk hange would say, when you’re out of the carne asada!! Walking into the car.

-“y/n don’t worry it’s okay.” Hange doesnt need you to stand up for themselves, but because it’s your family, if they misgendered hange on purpose you’re going a-wall on them

-“ no!! I am not letting you get disrespected! I have had enough of their bullshit and listened to them for TEN YEARS” You’d be pissed and established a fucking boundary between a group of your tias about hange and yourself as a couple, in general because those tias criticize every fucking thing.the minute they try to pick you up to calm down.

-you told and gave them that Latina stare. “Sit down.” They sat down instantly with your dad as they both cracked open a beer.

-“That’s why you can’t keep a man!! Because you got La pescado panocha!! You’re an alcoholic who has severe daddy issues, And you!! YOU DONT EVEN HAVE YOUR FUCKING PAPERS!! YOU FUCKING BORDER HOPPER HOMIE HOPPING ASS COCHINA!!”. They left within five minutes.

-“AND COME BACK WHEN YOU CAN HAVE PROPER ENGLISH!!” Hange just sits there and actually felt thankful that you didn’t have to do that but they are thankful. You’re a short chihuahua with a 6’5 Great Dane mindset.

- they obviously eat the FUCK OUT OF POZOLE!!

- and they love your cooking. “Oh mah god..” they’ll cover their mouth when they taste nopales for the very first time and they’re in love.

-even eating ramen noodles the Mexican way with tapatío or Valentina, lime juice and chilé powder. Mhm yummyyy!!

-now if you and Hange are in the car. You’re screaming in the car. They’re screaming bad bunny with you. Because yes!

-now when y’all live together. You’re the clingiest mf out there.

-“it’s bc of that chorizo!!!” Hange didn’t even know what that meant until they asked Connie, which instantly clicked into Hanges mind being the strap on!! ding ding ding!!’

-always satisfies your period cravings fr.

-“y/n HOW ARE YOU NOT BALD!?!?” This is Hange saying this as they get out of the shower using the drainage hair catcher and yes HISPANICS SHED A LOT OF FUCKING HAIR.

-“I don’t know genetics I guess.”

- sucks the chamoy and tajin off your Chi Chis

-when you told hange you eat pomegranates with tajin and chamoy They’re in shock. They’re gonna get you pregnant for sure!

-parent hange with mexicana mommy reader coming soon??!!?

- cooking with hange is intimate as well, because they’re always hugging you from behind leaving small kisses and love bites all over to label you as theirs.

- even hange drinking an agua fresca,their favorite would be mango for sure.

-even the grapefruit soda squirt they’re gonna buy so many cans of it.

- hange gets the hang of it, when going to a carne asada that Mexicans open their beers or soda bottles with just about ANYTHING AND EVERHTHING! from a kids toy to someone’s ass, or even a chair. It’s very rare to use a bottle opener. That’s what Hange brings a knife and a bottle opener.

-they love your Spanglish or. “AHH SANNAOFABISSHH!”

-they eat the chicken and cheese quesadillas you make in the fridge as a late night snack by reheating them in the microwave.

-one day you were sick and you wanted caldo de res . This mf called your abuela and ASKED THEM HOW TO MAKE IT EXACTLY AS IF ABUELA WAS THERE.

-“You made it for mee???” You’re tearing up with the rice and corn inside of the soup bowl along with the chicken. As you were on your period crying

-Now Hanges spice tolerance is manageable. But when you make them have anything they’ll slowly become immune to spicy things and love it. (They’re not spice god on tiktok okay.) but they’re an enthusiast.

-absolutely loves to spend time with you even if you’re always at home. They don’t care they’ll bring the fun to you!

-that’s why when y’all build blanket forts sometimes it heals both of your inner child together

-this also includes going to the grocery store at 3 o’clock in the morning to try some Mexican tiktok snacks or to have a day and y’all treat y’all’s selves on date night.

-and they kiss your lonjas (tummy rolls, this includes stretch marks and lunares)

-“dame un beso.” You’ll tell them and they’ll do it as you lean in. “Did you say give me a kiss?”

I haven't talk about shinjiham enough in this au lol so anyway I was thinking about how Shinji kinda use Minako's house as a place for him to basically get away from his foster home and also practice his cooking. The kitchen back at the foster home is off limit to him and the rest of the foster kids so he couldn't really cook there. Minako didn't know he likes to cook until one day she brought him home to hang out and watch TV and while they were watching some silly cartoons on MTV suddenly she gets hungry and was moaning about how she has to eat instant ramen since Liz isn't home so she couldn't order takeouts. Shinji asked what's in their kitchen and said he can probably cook something for her if she lets him snoop around the kitchen. She was surprised that a guy like him wants to cook and he smiled and reveals that he cooks a lot when he was in the orphanage and one of his current part time job is a cook and he enjoys it a lot despite the stressful chaotic enviroment of the kitchen.

When Minako showed him their kitchen, he grimaced at the stacks of instant ramen filling up their cabinet and even more so when he realize that almost all of the food in the kitchen is basically instant food. Yet, food is food and whatever they have in that home is the most food he'd ever seen in a kitchen since he moved into his foster home so after going through every cabinets and drawers and scanning the fridge, he managed to whip out a mean fried rice out of minute rice, soy sauce packs from sushi take outs and veges from salad bowl. She was genuinely impressed that he managed to throw some random shit together in a pan and create an actual food and even more so when the food is really good. Shinji, as usual would undermine his skill and when Minako insist that he's really good at it, he would quickly change topic by scolding at how shit their diet is and Liz should learn how to cook lol

Ever since then, any time they hang out at Minako's home, she always expects him to cook something for her and while Shinji complains about how even after every visit the amount of instant and junk food never changed and also joked that Minako brought him back home just to be her private cook, they did actually bought some fresh food (mostly because Minako told Liz that she should buy something fresh just so Shinji can cook something with it when he's visiting lol) and he also really don't mind cooking for Minako at all. At one point when Liz's at home, she actually did bring both of them out together for grocery so they can cook something special for dinner all of them actually did have a good time just being able to spend time together and Shinji, despite being awful at expressing his emotion and doesn't show his emotion, is enjoying the brief domesticity he has before having to return to his home.

Also I find it so cute that Shinji's love language is basically act of service. Shinji is blunt and has no problem telling people straight up that he didn't like them and basically do whatever he wants and basically scaring people away but he's also extremely bad at telling people he loved that he cherished them and enjoyed their company so he definitely showed them through doing things such as cooking for Minako. And skdjsksosks love that in his SL when you didn't romance him, he's like "You're hungry? I'll make you something. Might as well talk and eat at the same time, right?" Like AAAAAA idk him just cooking for her is basically him letti g himself be open yet vulnerable to Minako and oh god can someone just like put me to sleep its 2 AM here-

[luffythinker]

What do you think Shigaraki's favorite things are? Like I know he says he hates everything but what kinds of foods and things do you think he likes?

I think he likes Gamer food and all that but I want a deeper dive then that. Like do you think he likes candy? Sour or sweet? What's his favorite soda? I know he drinks it straight from one of those big bottles and can never finish it. XD do you think he likes greasy food? Or does it hurt his stomach? What foods just dont agree with him? What he allergic to? Peanuts cause that's so basic but also a common food that everyone is probably surprised he cant eat and now that he mentioned it they never can remember him eatting whatever it is.

I think Shig is a briefs wearer, nothing else no undershirt but Dabu wears undershirts and so does Twice. Unfortunately Himiko wasn't raided correct enough to feel comfortable wearing stuff like that but she likes the look of pretty bras and panties but cant bring herself to wear them, she just wears a sports bra and boxers she wishes she could wear them tho.

Dabi and Twice are the only ones who'll sit around shirtless, moreso Dabi then Twice, Dabi sags, Shigaraki's trans ass admires their gender so hard, at first couldnt bring himself to be shirtless around them but when he got comfortable on a bit day he just fuck it, took his shirt off.

Whether or not he had top surgery at the time meant nothing cause the league accepts him for who he is but I would like to say he has had it.

Himiko thinks Shigs top scars are cool

I think Dabi would be that meme where a person is like "would you date a trans women" and the other person is like "is she thick?" And the first person is like "but she was a man before." And they are like "that doesn't matter shes a women now, is she thick?" Have you seen that one before? Dabi is very bisexual he does not care his priorities are the only thing that's straight

I wanna get to know these people on a personal (spiritual) level

I think you already did the deep dive you were looking for kjdfjkdfjkdf better than i ever could tbh

I can't really think of his favorite things like this off the top of my head, but going of what you pointed here, let's try to think something. So about food first: thinking a favorite food for him is hard because of his upbringing and then poverty, but i like to think he would like sweet things (not extremely sweet, but yk), so maybe a cake? something that still is a good memory from his childhood. He likes candy, especially strawberry flavored ones, but that sounds lame so he lies and says he prefers sour stuff. I would just go with cola for him, cause yk he's a gamer and lowkey unhealthy, so a lot of ramen and cola when he pulls all night to play LOL. Not all greasy food, but mostly fries, he loves those, he would eat a bucket everyday if he could. For some reason my first thought for foods he doesn't like was seafood but he's japanese so that would limit his choices a lotkjkjdf but maybe he doesn't like extremely spicy stuff, it upsets his stomach. As for allergies, I'm gonna project here and say he has a corn allergy (idk how common corn is in japan, but where i live it's really everyday food so i have a lot of trouble with this).

And for the rest, i really don't have many additional thoughts on it, i can totally see the things you said here, especially with being shirtless around the league, i think he would be less shy bc of breast/chest and more bc he thinks he doesn't have a good fit body, but well dabi is half burned so he assumes nobody really cares about this

good stuff 1-6-24

had very good coffee and avocado toast today and really liked reading my book

it was maybe supposed to snow today and maybe supposed to snow tomorrow so i made sure to take out all my trash and get groceries instead of like continuing to put them off like i've been doing

i made instant ramen for uhhhhhh the first time? idk i've just never made it and i always see tips for how to doctor it and i've never tried it so today i decided to try it. so i sautéed some garlic and ginger and green onions in some oil and then cooked the noodles in half broth, half water and stirred in some chopped bok choy. and then in the bowl i put some chili sauce, sesame oil, soy sauce, and lots and lots of cilantro, and then i poured the hot soup over it, and it was good and easy! i wanted to try doing something with egg but figured i should keep it simpler the first time and then go from them. it was a very gloomy and dreary day, and ramen was a perfect cozy meal for the weather.

my family asked me to make a gift registry for my birthday, and part of me is INTENSELY uncomfortable at the idea of like, asking people for gifts, like even having the audacity to think people would want to get me stuff lol. but i have also always wanted to make a registry and i have gone to so many bridal showers and baby showers and weddings and housewarmings for these people over the years and i have not had any kind of party for myself since i was a kid, and my kitchen stuff is either garbage quality, secondhand from someone else after they got married, or something i splurged on for myself. it was nice to think about what i would like to have if i actually got to CHOOSE.

[fluffyjothoughts]

hello!! how are you? i hope you're doing well!! 💗 🫧🎐 aaand good luck with the exams and studying 🥺🌟

i don't really request things lol but i wanted to go for it hehe

i've been in a different city for a seminar, staying at an unfamiliar place and even though this seminar was fun and educational, it was also really tiring 😭 i've also been quite moody, on and off, insecure, self conscious and all that (period stuff too)

today was the final day and we've prepared the exhibition the whole day, yet it surprisingly finished earlier than expected. i was feeling off and a little under the weather so i wanted to go for a comfort food (ramen!!), some stroll around town and just visiting some shops and stationery places.

the whole time i was thinking of meeting with bojan after the exhibition prep and doing all the comfort things with him :( idk, maybe the weather helped bc it was raining a little at times and it was chilly- made me feel all soft and in longing thinking about that🥺✨️

idk what you would like to do with this ask lol but you know, if you have time and inspiration any elaboration/drabble/etc would be such a comforting piece i think🥺😭💗

and and thank you for reading through this!! 💖🫧🎐 i never thought i would write so long lol i can't seem to measure my thoughts and feels!!!!! anyways, take really nice and gentle care of yourself please 🥺💗🌸

hello boo!!!! firstly, exams are killing me (one down, two more to go!!) and i totally get feeling moody and sad while away (+periods, fucking hate them.) and honestly, who doesn’t love ramen hm????

But seriously, this is so cute! Imagine getting back home after a long day with bojan chilling on your bed all cozy in sweatpants and a hoodie, letting you get changed before enveloping you in a nice, warm hug and covering you with a warm fuzzy blanket, kissing your face and hearing about your day while he plays with your hair. Maybe he’d get some tea for your sickness and get one too, maybe he’d make some nice quick dinner that you both love and you could end up cuddling and eventually showering together, only to cuddle up under the sheets again and fall asleep together.

a/n: quick blurb yes yes! i hope you like this, i’ve been quite tired, but i’ve had this prepared for a bit!

[mikareo]

dove I am once again terribly sorry for sending the request so late and I wanna thank you for doing one for me☹️☹️

1) ok I pick jujutsu kaisen :)) (diverting from haikyuu and bllk for once)

2) I'll send the pic in the next ask that I send

3) male and uhh teenage or adult both are fine by me :D

4) not very nsfw but suggestive? If that's okay? (If you're uncomfy with that sfw is okay)

5) I think I'd say I'm friendly and get very comfortable with you once we get close like I will start yapping and not stop. I can be a bit annoying at times I feel but not very much. I am willing to listen to my friends and I try my best to give advice wherever possible. I think I'm also very supportive and can be good to hang out with once you know me. Idk my mbti I'm sorry:( I'm a Sagittarius go by she/her and I like listening to people talk about their interests and I send to many reels to my friends (also very chronically online) I am not very athletic but am more into reading and I love watching movies and tv shows.

6) I love reading, listening to music, making hot chocolate or ramen as those are the only things I can make, writing stories and sometimes poetry, talking to my friends about anything and watching reels. I also like hiking with my sister :D and exploring new cafes and restaurants and aesthetic places. I love travelling and I love eyeliner.

7) ok dream date hmmm cliche but like art museum dates!!! I'd love to go to an art museum and just hang around and then get ice cream afterwards. A cafe date sounds good too tbh. Extra points if it's like a pet cafe or a cat cafe.

with soft features and kind qualities, you and kokichi have the brightest smiles in the room. your energy is practically magnetic, drawing in laughter without even the slightest effort, you're known as a golden couple. everyone admires the way you look at each other, as well as the way he doesn't hesitate to use you as his muse in all of his endeavors; kokichi holds you to the highest value, and loves to see the beautiful smile on your face when you tell him how proud you are.

⋆⋆⋆⠀ ⠀ PERSONALITY PAIRING ! congratulations . . .‧₊˚🍣✩SUGURU GETO₊˚🌷⊹♡

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ chemistry analysis . . .

initially, when i was reading through your personality traits, my first thought was gojo. you two seem really similar, which is why i redirected myself to geto...i feel like gojo with someone akin to himself would be a disaster (lol). you and geto are extremely compatible, for many reasons other than your similarities to gojo— in fact, you and geto are a no-brainer match.

obviously, with your shared qualities with gojo, you and geto are bound to get along without a doubt. when geto is silent, he enjoys the volume you bring to a room; finding great comfort in hearing your voice above all others as he knows that you're speaking about something you're passionate about. he's not necessarily the most outgoing individual, so having you to get him out of his shell is of utmost importance. he can rely on you for support in social settings, as well as whenever he's in need for a laugh.

with geto's insecurities and avoidance of acknowledging his struggles, it's great that he has you to talk to. since you're willing to lend an ear and sit down with him when he needs to vent, geto feels seen. he feels like there's someone who actually cares about what's going on in his mind. he often asks you for advice on how to handle the difficult situations he has, and you're there to tell him what's right and what's wrong; ultimately leading him away from a fate that could potentially be fatal.

it's doubtful that geto is on his phone often, but when he is he enjoys scrolling through the mass amounts of reels you send him. normally, he'd be annoyed by this— if it were gojo, he'd probably mute his profile for a period of time before his best friend learned his lesson— but you're an exception. his favorite time of night is when he's alone, snuggled in bed, and gets to watch a curated feed of all your interests and the things you find funny. sometimes he can almost image the sound of your laughter beside him, and it makes his heart feel warmer by the minute.

the quiet days in which you're together are the best, though. geto loves to relax with you on the couch while you watch your favorite television show. he especially loves the little comments you make about your favorite characters when he gets confused by the storyline. sometimes, when you get hungry, he makes the kitchen his territory; quickly getting together a home-cooked meal that leaves your mouth watering for more. he's an amazing chef, yet still loves to try the new cafes in town whenever you find yourself excited for a new opening. he loves enjoying the little things with you. every second counts. every moment is cherished.

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ memories on the wall . . .

⋆⭒˚｡⋆ a treasured moment . . .

"baby, c'mon you gotta get up." you can faintly hear your boyfriend's voice though the midst of sleep as he gently nudges you awake. however, geto's efforts are sadly failing, your eyes fluttering open and closed; leaving him to his last resort: peppering your face in kisses.

his lips touch your nose, your cheek, your forehead, and lastly, your lips. what a romantic.

"i'm awake, i swear." lifting one eye open, you softly smile at him. his handsome face is a mere two inches from your own with stars in his gaze. he always looks at you as if you're some sort of astral phenomenon; a once in a lifetime comet that only he has the pleasure of looking at. "did i miss the ending?" you definitely missed the ending of the movie.

geto nods, laughing lightly, before lifting you off of the leather couch. his arms wrap around your body in a protective way, hands on your thighs and chin nestled atop your head.

"i love you so much, suguru." you murmur, slowly waking up from the deep slumber you were consumed by. "i'm sorry i fell asleep, i know how excited you were to watch it with me."

he kisses your forehead as you reach the bedroom, with the billowing curtains and sun showers through the windows, the image is so serene. it's almost as if you could stay in this place and relax forever with geto by your side. slowly, he lowers you onto the bed— his large figure leaning over you— and begins covering you in kisses once more. chin. shoulder. chest. he clearly has plans that are going to keep you up for the next few hours.

"i love you too, baby."

You really said that you don't have any plans of writing any other series and then dropped this ✨masterpiece✨ (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)⁠✧⁠*⁠。

BISHHHH! IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. I WAS SKEPTICAL AT FIRST BUT THEN AGAIN IT WAS YOU WRITING. I LOVED IT 💜💜💜

also can I be 🕊️ anon?

Hope yall don't mind me responding to these in one go. Also please note my anon tagging is terrible but I do remember all my anons! I think I'll probably do this batch format moving forward? I SUCK at conversations through the inbox but also a) don't want to be rude 😅 and b) clog up people's dash.

+ Tip - filter 'ramen asks' tags in your settings if you're just here for the fics.

Non fic-request asks answered: 7 (you might want to check if your asks are here anons!)

🕊️ anon! Thank you for reading! You are being much too kind. I really had no plans to write anything long and uh... the nthis happened. It's ALWAYS good to have a healthy dose of skepticism though haha. I. I just. Idk how I feel about my longer fics at all but I'm glad you're enjoying them!

Anon?! Ah that's so sweet to say and I'm glad my fics are accessible for you!I don't struggle so much with focusing, but there are some formats and fonts that I really find difficult to read. Give me a shout especially with regards to format/font side if things ever deviate with my writing and I'll try to correct it!

Goo brainrot anon, you know who you are with your exquisite taste 🫶

And on my other response that Goo brings out our feral sides, and imo also has the most feral simps... Would be hilarious to watch you guys in a cagematch for Goo's affection. And you KNOW he would love that. 2A style.

I'm sorry this is actually our sweet Ying's/@mymxnfgh hc which you can read here. I don't want to just steam roll ahead with her idea especially if she reads HTF! Hope you understand.

Babe, I'm completely with you. I wrote this about Eli but really to go on about WTF is happening with his character and plot. Fuck 5A man.

Answering this like... a month late but we're still waiting lol. YES THE ADIDAS SAMBAS! I saw the theory too. I'm not 100% sure if Jake fits but I will just take whatever crumbs of my No.1 green flag PTJ will give!

Anon I am so so sorry for my super late response. Have you watched the PTJ video from a while ago where he talks about Samuel's charming chest? I think you may like that.

Anon, your opinion on Vasco is perfectly valid AND CORRECT. Altho our lil cinnamonroll is at least getting a personality lately so I can't be too mad.

For the headcanon thing! How about MK with 🫂 🧸📓 and 😶?

🫂 A friendship headcanon

I think when MK became friends with Mei and Red Son, they both had a similar thought of "this guy doesn't care about my family? He just cares about me." Cuz with Mei, I feel like they've been friends since their were kids, and when he told him who she was and like her parents and stuff, he's just like "Cool! Do you still wanna go to the arcade?" And with Red Son, he was literally (and kinda still is?) a villain! But MK just sees him as Red Son. Not DBK's son, not another demon, not an enemy. Just a friend. I really love that.

🧸 A headcanon about their childhood

Okay, completely disregarding s4, my hc for MK was that he had shitty parents. They weren't good to him, and as soon as they were able too they kicked him out. He lived on the streets for a bit, but then Pigsy found him and took him in. I also have a small hc that MK used to be scared of demons as a kid cuz his parents were racist and told him awful things that he now knows aren't true.

📓 A headcanon about their hobbies

There is no way MK HASN'T written at least ONE Monkey King fanfiction. Or a comic or something. I'm also super convinced that he draws on himself a lot. If you give him a marker and leave him alone with nothing to do, he will be covered from head to toe. He'll take his shirt off if you aren't careful lmao

😶 A random headcanon!

Random, huh? Hmm.... Well he's autistic obviously, but that's basically canon at this point lol. Uhhhhhh... idk why, but I feel like he has a stash of instant ramen somewhere in his room. He KNOWS Pigsy will disown him /j if he ever found it, but he 1: doesn't always have the energy to make actual food and 2: legit just loved the flavor. Not that he'd ever tell Pigsy that

[nightlight-stardust-and-rain]

Polaris reads Hell's kitchen! Because I did a Polaris read Nanbaka a while ago and realized being able to reread my own thoughts is fun. Also Hell's kitchen is criminally underrated.

REAL nice art.

I can see where Dogma comes from tbh.

Ooof. Satoru's lack of ambition did not need to come for me personally like that.

Nakarai baby..... He's so autistic I can't. He's great.

Really nice art.

Nakagane is a fun lady :D

Tachibana darling you have such issues. Not that I didn't know that since it must be the fifth time I read this manga, but still. What does your dad thinks of you destroying people's dreams as a hobby, uh?

He's also some flavor (ha.) of neurodivergent, I'm sure of it.

It's a classical "opponent that has values drastically opposite to those of the protagonist"! While still technically being in the same field.

Tachibana's dad is a good dad. He's still making Tachibana food even though they've been living together for years and he's well aware Tachibana's not going to eat it. He's still trying!! But despite that he's not trying to force Tachibana to eat what he doesn't want to eat (even though it'd definitely be healthier) and you can see it because he's still keeping Tachibana's food of choice (instant ramen) in their house! What a good dad.

That said, please do not go spilling your son's trauma to total strangers! I know he's the protagonist and he needs to know his opponent's motivation for Plot but it's none of his business! I'll forgive him because it's a plot device at work.

Also fuck Tachibana's mom. Not wanting kids is totally valid but if you have them nonetheless you should at least try to be a good parent!! Why didn't you just get an abortion instead of criminally neglecting a child and almost killing him with food!!

Tachibana's curry bomb was cute.

Getting overwhelmed by a scent of alcohol.... I feel you, Tachibana, I feel you so much.

It looks like Tachibana's trauma got resolved Shonen-style but I like that we don't actually see him eat cooked food. Foreshadowing! And also realistic handling of trauma!

How many people in this school think Satoru has DID or mood swings of some kind.....

I too like knives. Is everyone in this group neurodivergent, that's a special interest if I've ever seen one.

Calling ADHD for Morisaki btw.

Sagane, you've got issues but far as I can tell they're mostly your own. Also yay neurodivergent feeling of being completely other and being isolated because of it!

The agricultural department is fucking savage. Good for them!

The agricultural dean sleeping so deeply is a Mood™

Those killer scarecrows.... Cannot be legal. Nao's got prodigiously good aim with a slingshot tho.

Leaving someone tied up in the sun with no food or water for four days was a bit uuuuh. Much. Nao baby surely you know that this is how people die?

Tbh Satoru wanting so much to prove that cooking is valuable is... Weird? Like..... If it was about the entire agricultural department I'd understand. Their ingredients are important. But he just wants to prove it to Nao... Why is he so passionate, he's been doing this for a month... And sure finding a passion when your life has been empty so far can be powerful but... Idk it felt more like a Cooking Manga Protagonist thing than a Satoru thing yknow?

Lol Satoru committing to staying a year with the agricultural department and in the end he stayed, what, a day? How convenient. Of course, it's a cooking manga not a agricultural manga.

The agricultural dean might in fact be a bonafide nature spirit, and I'm not budging on that.

As a french person I have mixed feelings on Levi "french caricature" Golgotha. Also that doesn't sound like a very french name, I wonder where it comes from.

He gets better after but still.

It is cool that he's a good pâtissier of his own merit. His speech about pâtisserie being a science would have been interesting during the fight with the science department, sad that it was forgotten....

Tachibana is such a troll in disguise. Love him.

Also in a fantasy setting he's definitely a witch.

Their three desserts versus Levi are like rock-paper-scissors. A defeats B who defeats C who defeats A.

Not fond of Levi just kidnapping Akiyama but I'm pretty sure that's just a case of rich kid not being accustomed to someone not wanting to be around him.

Also not fond of having a duel for a person. Yikes :/

Dogma encouraging teamwork was wildly out of character.

The manga attempts to have a filler teamwork episode! It's super ineffective!

This artist is real good, but their weak point is definitely tongues. Yikes.

Levi's bodyguards also seem to be somewhat experts in the culinary... Or at least the culinary critique domain.

Tachibana's dad bragging about his son's progress in the middle of a hostage situation. Man.

The dean of the service department is so extra. Love them. Are they nonbinary or a drag queen or just GNC, the world may never know (I say all three).

LOL. A poacher!

It's a bit sad that we see Satoru's middle school friend asking after him and being happy for him but we don't see Satoru thinking about or talking to his old friends ever :(

Dogma asking "do you cook for the sake of being praised?" right before we meet someone who's got a real big issue with this kind of mindset is not, in retrospective, particularly subtle foreshadowing.

Ku-moi! Ku-moi! Ku-moi !

My favorite crab boy :D

One : how can he evaluates people's health through their blood ?? Let's hope Dragunov never finds out about this otherwise there's a big probability Kumoi would find himself studied like a science experiment.

Two : do not put other people's blood in your mouth that is how you catch some serious diseases

He's so violent. Babe that could have serious legal repercussions.

Honestly Satoru's optimism was super grating. He was probably high on the freedom brought by Dogma's absence but still.

I love Kumoi but you can tell right away that his way of thinking (in complete opposition to his food) was unhealthy for everyone involved (mostly himself).

Lol. Never seen a vampire crab anywhere else.

"where am I supposed to find stuff like this?" "Google it, ya dunce". Lmao.

He's really good at what does. Almost a doctor, which is huge considering how hard that is.

His mindset is unhealthy but all of this is a love letter. The way he follows the same path as Kuroda, the way he cooks the same medicinal food as Kuroda, the way he studies so hard, the way he uses Kuroda's knives, the fact that he seeks to prove that cooks are superiors so that Kuroda may somehow know how precious he was to Kumoi... It's a love letter.

In his flashback, he says he barely spoke to his dad, but he was never lonely because he has Kuroda. Kuroda was the one who stayed with him, who made him food, who made him healthy and took care of him, the one who sparked his passion for cooking... And in the end when Kuroda left, Kumoi said that Kuroda was more important to him than his dad. In conclusion, Kuroda was his actual dad and I will accept no other opinion.

Which makes it all the more sad that Kuroda died a mere six months after Kumoi saw him last... He was only twelve :((((

Awww he said that Kuroda worked for them for ten years... He probably doesn't remember a time when Kuroda wasn't here :(

Kumoi's dad is a bitch.

Tbh Satoru talking about what Kuroda wanted was way out of line. First of all you know how touchy a subject that is. Second of all you heard one story about him, why are you presuming to know what Kuroda wanted better than the one who was raised by him? Sure, Kumoi later concludes that Satoru was right, but that's because he's the protagonist of a cooking manga and has to be right about those things :/

Human Dogma is like Boa Hancock : super hot so everything is forgiven (everything being Dogma being super extra weird)

Super powerful devil Dogma being defeated by Not Eating For A Few Hours, As People Do, is extremely funny.

Tachibana's dad seeing a weird man holding a teenager hostage for a meal : what if I projected my son's trauma all over that (to be fair it's a type of trauma he's very familiar with)

.... Tachibana having a stuffed nose and not participating in the Feed Dogma filler looked like nothing important but now that I think about it...... If his nose had been clear he'd have been able to clock Dogma's scent from a mile away, which would not have benefited the future plot at all... How interesting. That's not foreshadowing... But it's something.

Real fun filler tho.

Mikazuki is just a really funny character. Love his jacket.

Satoru, immediately upon hearing "soul food" : so you're a devil?? Mikazuki : What The Fuck Are You On.

I love how Mikazuki has the technique, the ingredients, the theory... What he's lacking is sheer physical strength. Because his upper body just doesn't lean towards muscles (judging by his sprinting abilities his strength is more in his legs). It's very down-to-earth.

Satoru being happy at the lack of Dogma is very, how do I put it, This Is Not Going To Last.

Wonder if I thought that when I first read the manga?

Love Akiyama's obsession with frogs. New character trait !

Lol Levi being completely unable to function in nature.... Baby.

Tachibana's tie-sleeveless shirt-bandana look looks silly.

Morisaki being super good at building treehouses because he's from a big family...... Feels stereotypical tbh but whatever it's funny. What's the excuse for him being super good at building traps hmmm?

We got the impression that Minami's yandere-ness had mellowed out but actually she's been holding it in the whole time because she knows an actual murder wouldn't fly with the authorities..... Feels in character but omfg I wish a teenage girl being so eager to kill someone would be more... Present in the story?

I wonder if Tachibana's dad taught him to shoot?

Lmao, Akiyama having a strong grip makes perfect sense, she does carry her wok for hours. It adds dimension to the character!

Love how we get both girls' backstory in the same chapter and they clearly spell out the neurodivergency of it all. The whole thing was "I never fit in"! Akiyama was too down-to-earth and bad with people, Minami had a weird special interest that made her other and a lack of empathy and she was isolated from people because no one could understand! And they reconciliate because they "have something in common after all"! Those! Girls! Are! Autistic !

Morisaki only getting good grades when he's motivated by his rivalry with his brother... Adhd, I say !

Morisaki casually knowing how to skin a hedgehog.......

:((( Tachibana is being so open and vulnerable with Satoru.... And Satoru can't tell him the truth because it would have Dogma-related consequences.... But yeesh. Satoru could definitely have handled it better.

(but teenagers are notoriously graceless so :/)

It's not Satoru's fault Tachibana has trauma.... But yikes.

I actually really do like that Tachibana's trauma wasn't resolved in the cooking fight. Sure he's been making friends and considering other views than his own but he has not been confronting his trauma. He's been getting healthier but one setback sends him spiraling. Mental health is complicated!

The spreads in this manga!!

Dragunov my beloved ! You are so unbelievably shady.

Extremely amused by the fact that Dragunov cannot, apparently, grow any kind of beard.

Dragunov casually fucking up nature. Sir, are you aware that this island had an established ecosystem??

It's convenient that Dragunov's reaserch centered on scent and he just happens to find someone (a rather vulnerable someone at that) rather talended in this domain in a deserted island....

*pokes Dragunov* Is That A Mullet, Good Sir?

I really like how fleshed out the characters are. So this teacher who is more of a background character does pottery to de-stress and likes to look at pottery too?

The stairs in the science department! yikes !!

Love how dramatic Dragunov is. He's having fun and I'm here for it.

He's such a weakling! But I suppose it's par for the course when you're pretty much beginning to starve + have a digestive system that may be incompatible with human anatomy.

The service dean got the right idea on names.

I think it's cool that Dragunov is such a big shot in the scientific community.

Morisaki being extremely bad at selfies is just... So funny.

Satoru that thing you did with the fire cannot be legal :/

"I'm close to something"... Tachibana baby what you are close to is a mental breakdown, and it's coming for you fast.

It's actually really cool that the science department has a tower of memory for every animal and plant that gave their life for science.

Also interesting that they have a minute of praying to mother earth? This is pretty religious for a science department.

Can't believe I didn't notice before but Tachibana definitely has some kind of eating disorder.

Tachibana being unable to smell Dragunov because they are the same kind is a very interesting theory but tbh besides being pretty curious people and ready to do anything to achieve their goals I don't really see it?

"as always, this department is a nest of freaks and weirdos" says the weirdo. That sums up a good part of the school tho.

Dragunov doesn't actually say why he wants to eradicate cooking. Sure, cooking is useless to him personally but why want to eradicate it entirely?

Pffff Morisaki being so bossy about the cooking of a piglet...... He's found his niche and he's sticking to it.

Cute that they got together to make it tho... Friends hanging out :)

Morisaki being good at feelings! And probably good at conflict resolution because he's the oldest of many siblings....

"I don't know what happened between the two of you (I'd actually really like to know)" Morisaki you are so very relatable. I'd be dying of curiosity in your place.

HERE COMES DRAGUNOV WITH A STEEL CHAIR PURE SCIENTIFIC CURIOSITY

He's very sneaky for someone who looks to be about two meters tall.

Dragunov is absolutely sure he is right but, like any good scientist, he is absolutely open to proof of the contrary. He hears Satoru out... But he wants proof. And he's not, per se, wrong.

This man is just cool.

Is that an actual gigantic.... *snaps fingers* méduse. Whatever.

Tojo my beloved. Your aesthetic is so fun. What even is that shirt.

There is not a shine in Tachibana's eyes... And there has never been, except maybe in his backstory. Might be a design thing but... I'm not sure.

What's the point of eating a lot of whale meat besides killing an innocent whale. Dogma!! What was the point !!

Omfg Tojo has (presumably colored) fractals inside his coat...... I mean it sort of makes sense that a character representing sight would have a peculiar aesthetic.

None of the main group making it into the team is stupendously funny but it also makes sense. They're first years!

"oh dear, the only thing they've got is spirit! You'll see more coordination at a kindergarten concert!" fucking SAVAGE.

Nakagane is so resigned to her department being a bunch of brawlers. What a mood.

Was wondering how Dogma planned to insert Satoru into it. Eliminating the competition is brutal, but in character. I constantly forget that Dogma, despite his appearance, is not subtle or stealthy at all.

Sound girl screaming is definitely an intimation tactic... But wow.

^ lmao??

The deep fish thing was such an interesting idea!

Love that Tojo loves cooking. Such diversified motivations across the antagonists!

Tbh the moment he said his motivation I thought about Kumoi but since he wasn't part of the team I had no idea how it would work.

Tojo has super deep eyebags. Wonder if he sleeps? Hm. Might be makeup tho.... Or the eyebags are here to draw attention to his eyes since he represents sight?

Lol there was such a heartfelt power of friendship speech... And Minami was pretty cool...... All of that for this.

Tojo does not takes kindly to being called an idiot... Wonder if it's got to do with rarely being believed when he said things were fake? If he can see lies, I wonder if he's good at detecting when someone is lying.

Interesting that Dragunov is apparently the one person who can deceive Tojo's eyes? Why? And it makes sense that Tojo would be at least a little fascinated by him if that's true.

Mitsuro Kumoi enters stage left!

But How does Tojo knows that things are fake? Sure you can probably distinguish between low quality and high quality but when it comes to "says it's from this brand, is actually not" you'd need to know what the actual brand looks like in order to compare right? It's just weird.

Tbh I can see how seeing lies everywhere and not being believed ever light traumatize a child. I hate lies, I get it. I do think he's a bit dramatic but man, trauma is not reasonable of logical.

New character trait : Kumoi's got really good hearing.

Kumoi is just really fucking cool.

I like how this match showcases Kumoi's skill. This boy works his ass off and he deserves it being recognized!!

"and you will despair like I did" yeesh, Tojo really is traumatized. If you've tried to tell the truth for years and no one listened, at some point you grow bitter.

The fact is that when he's serving food, Kumoi looks gentle. He gets it from Kuroda, I bet.

Lol. Tojo is a man of his word, even if I'm pretty sure actually drinking that much syrup would have killed someone.

It's cool that he's got a scar on his forehead. Nice character design.

Kitakata baby you need at least a bit of therapy!!

It's cool that Tojo sees that Kitakata's devotion seems a bit unhealthy. I feel like this guy is good at feelings (even if he needs therapy too).

It's cool to see a bit of what the science department works on. It's also cool to see that Tojo's working on environment engineering! Characters have lives outside the plot!

Dragunov is only technically a human being and I am here for it.

"it seems quite reasonable to me. I don't know why everyone searches for an explanation so frantically". That was SO out of character. Dragunov is so curious!! He's a scientist!! I don't think he would stand for such a big part of himself being unexplainable and seemingly impossible!!! It's so weird!! >:/

Tachibana, as someone who also has big sensory issues with smell I don't think you should do that :(

I thought it was callous of Dragunov to allow/make (???) Tachibana do that when his psyche's already so fragile but it occurs to me that Dragunov probably thinks that dying in pursuit of knowledge is perfectly reasonable. He's stable but he's not sane, and therefore I can't expect him to apply sane standarts to anyone around him.

It's cool that Tachibana is thinking about his dad. I like his dad, I don't want him to be forgotten.

Aw.... Tachibana not wanting to be a burden for his dad bc he knows people are spreading rumors...... And his dad reassuring him that he loves him and wants him regardless of rumors or any external factors..... What a good dad.

Tachibana, when I said a mental breakdown was coming at you with speed I meant it.

A literal picture of something breaking amidst his memories... Did not expect the mental breakdown to be so obvious.

Fascinating that Dragunov seems to be immune to the effects of Tachibana's hypnotizing perfume thing. Why.

Tachibana darling this is attempted murder. Also I like your boots.

Aw, Tachibana's dad hasn't seen him in days! :(

Tachibana is so ferocious, I think it really means something that he holds back when it comes to his dad.

I was thinking that maybe both of them never having had an argument might not be that healthy + might indicate some conflict avoidance on Tachibana's part but now that I think about it I don't remember having had an Actual Serious Argument with my mom and we're fine.

Nope there was definitely conflict avoidance. It's interesting that according to his dad, Tachibana's showing growth.... Even if he's in the middle of a mental breakdown. I guess he is actually confronting things?

It's interesting that his eyes are no longer black after his breakdown. Obviously it's a metaphor but he does look more alive.... Sometimes you need to touch rock bottom to go up again I guess.

Kitakata can be cool.

Nakarai is super skilled at ice sculpting........ Why even....

I like that this showcases that cooking is not something you can do with instinct. It has rules and really it's a science and therefore Nakarai is still putting in a lot of work, he's not just a genius.

Kitakata you are so so weird.

So Nakarai is aware that he is bothered by his comrades and hates it.....

There is a theme here about the science department and the cooking department making the exact same dishes but not really (or in Tojo's and Minami's case using the exact same fish) but I don't know what it could mean.

It's sweet that the animals all love what Nakarai made. He might have lost the match but in the eyes of the animals he's the absolute winner, and that makes him happy :)

I do not blame Dragunov, I too would be fascinated. What Does It Means.

Lol it's funny to see the experiments the author did to faithfully relay the cooking to their readers. A true writer!

Kitakata swearing under Dragunov's gaze.... Is he afraid of disappointing Dragunov? Is he afraid of Dragunov ? Why?

I like that Dogma acknowledges that rations might in fact be the future. He's seen cooking change for centuries so he's aware that you can't discount any possibilities.

Instant noodles... So funny

Tojo and Sena are siblings I will not take any criticism.

But if the noodles just slide down your throat can you actually taste them?

3d printing noodles,,,, I wonder if it would actually work.

The service dean is so intense and extra and flamboyant...... Love them.

It's actually really sweet how the service dean comforted Mikazuki after his defeat.

Tachibana darling breaking your friend's elbow is simply not okay. Or maybe not breaking and maybe it was the forearm actually... But still. Not cool, man.

"it's the truth" doesn't make it not poison, babe. But I like that Tojo is the one to say that, what with his Thing about truth.

Fun how united the science department team is in defending Dragunov despite all the bickering they do.

Also they say that Dragunov saved them.... Wonder how, wonder why. We only got Tojo's backstory.

Not liking how people behave with Tachibana's food.... Hello triggers :/

Wtf this is only chapter 35?? Dang.

Tachibana darling these are not eyes of a sane man. Take a bath, a nap, multiple naps actually.

Lmao Kumoi with a flower tucked behind his ear... So cute. Obviously that's to counter the fiendish smell but still cute... Also I don't think one single flower behind your ear negates A Whole Lot Of Bad Smells but this is a manga so forgivable.

Dragunov has a lot of charisma uh...

Not a fan of the "communicate your feelings via cooking" thing. It's just food! Sure it can demonstrate care but that's where the nuance stops!!

*pokes the manga* if someone holds a plate full of food vertically the food should be falling.

Dogma is so full of bullshit. Love him.

I really like that Tachibana did not, in fact, eat the "emotional communication" food. In this trope you'd expect the recipient to eat it, but he didn't! Love this.

It's also nice that he said cooking wasn't a way to express yourself. Vindication!!

Also I. LOVE. That what gets through him in the end is not the main character but a memory of his dad hugging him after a very traumatic period of his life.

Yikes. Second mental breakdown in, what, a week ? Two? Tachibana is going through it.

Also Dragunov just simply being curious as to why Tachibana is cracking now of all times. This man has no empathy which honestly I can sympathize with but also this reminds me uncomfortably of something that happened when I was a kid.

It's so sweet that the trigger for him to feel better was remembering that his dad was crying when he found him because he was sad for him. I love them so much.

Ah, Tachibana's eyes being black again :')

I still don't like Satoru lmao

It's so interesting that when Tachibana's eyes regain their color, Dragunov's become empty.

Obviously it's because he just lost a big lead on research and research is quite literally what keeps him alive so it's logical but still.

! Mystery solved, Dragunov did not necessarily want to eradicate cooking, it was just the knowledge of cooking actually being useless that he wanted, because that would be very filling for him!

Only being able to eat something once is scary.

I do admire the strength of Dragunov's principles.

And Dogma does, too.

It's actually sweet of Dogma to give Dragunov a mystery to nibble on. He doesn't want the man to die because Dragunov is really interesting, so he gives him a new purpose in life. It's great.

^ *fond sigh* look at that face.

It's actually so sweet that Tachibana's dad made so much food because his kid was hungry, even though he was fully expecting Tachibana to just point-blank not eat it.

Also the symbolism...... Given his backstory there is a high chance that not only is this the first homecooked meal Tachibana has eaten since his trauma, it's the first homecooked meal he's ever eaten. Which is tragic but also it was made by someone who loves him so......

It's so important to me that Tachibana's basically first meal ever was cooked by someone who's loved him for years and not by a protagonist who has known him for a few months.

Kshshshsh the dad's shock...... The tea being poured too much because he's paralyzed.... So sweet.

Tachibana still being a tsundere about it..... My baby.

Aaah serotonin.

Ah, bread girl, I missed you. Sad that after this arc we don't see you that often.

The pure shamelessness of that girl. Also, pure of heart, dumb of ass.

That is definitely a special interest. Obviously I shouldn't project my neurodivergency on every character but man. Another autistic one!

Lmao. It's cool that Morisaki has a mini-arc bc we hardly saw him in the battle vs the science department :)

When they ask everyone if they prefer rice or bread for breakfast, the translation for Tachibana says "whatever's fine faction" but in french the translation is basically "on the side of those who don't care" and I think that's way funnier.

I know that them mildly destroying the apartment and the clothes of the teacher is meant to be comedic but to me it's unspeakably rude.

It's nice to see proof that Morisaki's getting better at cooking.

This is the coolest bread ever, as I think every time I read this chapter.

Lmao. Morisaki getting a crush.... Or something like that.... is pretty cute. Funny.

In the end nobody won the cook-off lol.

Mongo establishing himself as a weirdo and a mess from the first panel. Love him, do not love the mess.

*ominous tone* "it's been ten years....... Wait no. Half a year? Two months? Oh well. It's the feeling that counts." Mongo you are so funny. Also I relate to timekeeping issues.

"something's wrong with your head : go to a hospital!" Kumoi I love you so much (what was wrong with Satoru's head was that Dogma was inside it)

A wild festival appears!

Kumoi is so cool.

Lol it's cute that he's so enthusiastic about festivals. He just has a resting bitch face + tsundere symptome.

I love Mongo's kimono.

Incredible that Kumoi does not protest the cutesy nickname.

Friends for 12 years is long. On Kumoi's side I get the feeling of "he's annoying but I can't shake him off so I'm resigned to my fate".

Mongo's bad at opsec.

He's also really strong, and kind of a ninja.

Not sure flipping something that big would work like that.....

Don't keep food in your clothes Mongo!!!

He's kinda mean....... Might be the result of a bad environ growing up.

I have genuinely no idea whether Mongo and Kumoi are actually friends.

Yikes. Definitely an unhealthy environment to grow up in. This guy needs therapy.

Hmmmm. There is at least definitely a rivalry, no idea about friendship.

The service department guy is so charming it's a little ridiculous.

Mozu is fucking tall.

*pokes at Mozu* is that, like, DID, or is he just playing a role where he's confident and suave?

The service people are profilers playing 5d chess. Woof.

Friday, February 23rd, 2024!

7:55am: I slept for so long and woke up with no alarms this morning :) feels amazing. Still had a huge orange chunk come out of my nose but it's less than before, I just don't know when it will stop lol (I literally had to get up while writing this and do another one). Last night I had to go to sleep unexpectedly early bc I had a milkshake and it made me so bloated omg. I think I'm officially at that age where I really can't just be eating anything 😂 of course I can bc I'm an independent woman 💅 but not without The Consequences. Also I just popped my BC in and I'm ready for my period to stop and also for the stomach issues to stop omg it's been rough out here. It really feels like spring break should be today, but the pros to it being next week are that it's one week closer to the end, I won't be on my period at all, and hopefully it will be warmer!! I'm tired of this cold ass weather!!

I feel good today besides the random brain thoughts that I don't particularly want. I need to figure out how to replace those thoughts with ones I do what. This journaling, as much ranting as it is, definitely helps me I guess regulate my runaway thoughts. I really want to take a post poop nap though those are the best so ttyl lmao.

10:47am: omg I continued to sleep until 9:50am I don't know how to explain to people how much sleep I really feel like I need. Idk it's probably depression but that's literally ok I'm just doing what I can. I still miss him and that's ok too. I don't really miss him I literally miss just having someone to talk to. But he fucked up and it's his loss, not mine. He lost a genuine person, and I lost a liar who cheats and steals money and nothing he does is genuine, it's all fake to get people to like him so he can use their shit for all it's worth. What's crazy is he's so fake he doesn't even care about these cats after he kept saying he misses them oh boohoo me it's like losing two kids, then blocks me so he'll effectively never fucking see them again. He's literally so fake AF. I take pride knowing I'm not a fake ass bitch and I don't lie to people. Doesn't matter if people believe me or not because I know I'm not lying about anything. If you think I'm lying, you just have something else going on in your life that you have to deal with clearly. This image of them getting on the bike together I think will stay with me for a while, I guess visuals are really my downfall. I know I'm the bigger person bc I literally said yeah y'all are cute together before he stopped speaking to me and everything was chill. It was chill because I made it chill. I made this entire friendship what it was and I'm really convinced of it now tbh. I don't like him, I like me and how I act towards him 😂 I like nice people, aka myself lmao.

If everyone likes me except for you.... Sorry I don't think I'm the problem boo 😘 just a matter of time before he does some more stupid shit I'm sure I'll hear about 🙄

Happy Friday!!

1:02pm ate my ramen leftovers and my boss is buying me CFA Cobb salad for work later :') people are awesome ❤️

10:09pm: JFC my feet hurt like hell. I wish I had a guy to rub my feet fr but one day lol. I just realized he didn't block me on sc so I could technically add him back whenever, I wonder if he's waiting for me to do that?? Hmmmm he's such a narcissist it's wild, plus the whole posting at me when I'm technically blocked on ig is actually crazy af. I bet $200 if he adds me back on ig that post will magically be gone or the caption would change. He's so petty and acts like a little bitch. Literally can't relate 💀

11:40pm: finished my law assignment and I'm so tired I think I'll eat my salad leftovers and literally pass out. My eyes are literally burning.

I really just be out here gaslighting tf outta myself. I'm sitting here like wowza I wish I had "guy" to vibe w me after getting done with my hw.... But it's been so long it's funny that I forget, that man in particular would NOT want to chill with me after I'm finished with my hw!! Name literally one time when he ever fucking did that?? Literally he never fucking did. I'm so gaslighting myself into thinking we'd be doing anything rn, he would've pissed me off all night and then would probably be asleep rn. There would not be random drive thru trips bc he's on a lame ass diet and won't stfu about it and there wouldn't be cuddling bc he would've pissed me off the entire afternoon sitting on his ass making fucking messes instead of contributing anything ever to the home we share and it would infuriate me!! That's not attractive 🙄 so yeah gaslighting tf out of myself to think that would be happening 🤣 it's been so long I forget how exhausting that bullshit was!! Don't go back sis you literally hated it!! Wack AF and manipulative tbh.

One day, there will be a man, he will rub my feet when I get off work, even better he'll see the insides of my shoes, know that I'm too busy/ADHD to remember to get insoles, and would surprise me with new insoles for my shoes ❤️ that's what care and love looks like. We will have a cute snack and then probably fuck before bed bc we are both grown and not scared of a little period fr, and he would get me a towel and draw up a shower for me afterwards and I'd come back into the clean bedroom with no dirty shit on the floor and get into my made bed and snuggle with the real love of my life who loves and respects me 🥰 manifesting lol 💕

i hate wanting to be productive in the middle of the night. i was tired all day tdy, and now i just want to do something productive. no!!! i work earlier than usual tomorrow!!!!

im doing my skincare now... i wore makeup tdy so i have no choice but to do it 🤯

im tired still but i dont want to sleep. i feel like i havent been productive enough tdy even though i went to 3 different appointments and within the 2 hours before work i cleaned my bathroom sink (that was incredibly disgusting, i am not exaggerating. no one has cleaned it in like a little over a year. my dad shaves his face there whenever it gets like 5 inches long and doesnt clean the hair out of the sink/on the counter. its gross.), made ramen (it wasnt v good).... at work i walked around almost the whole 6 hours. my feet hurt so!! bad!! after i work. it happens every time. it doesnt help that when i fell down my stairs, my "sprained" foot didnt heal properly. i also hurt my hand at work and have not seen a doctor .... im ngl im like a mess and if i tell anyone abt this theyll tell me its because im fat and need to lose weight WE GET IT. I KNOW. IM TRYING, AND JUST BECAUSE I AM DOESNT MEAN THAT I CANT HAVE SMTH WRONG WITH ME?????

anyways

im tired. like mentally and physically. i had counseling tdy and i told her everything and the time still wasnt full. she shared some things abt her life recently... still didnt fill the time. she didnt respond much at all, but she's grieving, so i understand

im not telling anyone except u and my digital diary about my situation with my ex... i need to stop complaining to people abt him and making it everyones problem when its really my fault i keep letting him back in my life. its bad! ive literally had dreams where he did that *thing* but like in an extremely worse way, and i told myself that i just had to live with it, that i have to get used to it. and, i mean, i guess i do... if i can *** ***** then he can do whatever.

im not even with him... just flirting heavily. he picks up on it, i think so, anyway....

im tired

i saw that u updated ur music playlist you sent to me recently ! so heres a song for u in return

2:51am

idk why it pisses me off so bad but when b says shes ugly it makes me so angry. "why cant i be like the pretty girls?" she is the definition of a pretty girl... she may not see it because people were mean to her growing up but its like... ive cried SO much because of how pretty she is. my parents call her the pretty girl, people at school say shes pretty all the time... it just makes me so upset that someone as pretty as her cant see it. and i wish she could, honestly.

and i hate that this makes me so angry. i have so much envy that it rips me apart every second of the day, and i hate it!!!!! im the fat, ugly friend, and i always felt bad for her being friends with me. she says that im one of the prettiest ppl she knows.... if that were true, would she have deleted all the photos of me off of her phone? who knows. and the fact that people compliment her all the time at school and in public should say A LOT about how pretty she is. it happens all the time! and i mean all the time. maybe she doesnt think it was genuine or she forgets? idk... i think the last time a stranger complimented my appearance was a year and a half ago at a taco bell drive thru. the last time i was called pretty (besides when my mom says it) was at leastt 6 months ago. im like distraught because she is literally so beautiful fuck

this is going to make me cry myself to sleep because i cant say any of this to her because this is really just unhealthy of me, like the envy and making me seem like the victim. it just makes me so upset that everyone thinks shes pretty but herself

yeah im def crying myself to sleep gn i work in 11hrs which sounds like a long time from now but i havent slept yet lol

3:16am

ok i lied i messaged her and said "i saw you commented "i wish i was one of the pretty girls" on a tiktok, and i really need you to know that you are the pretty girl. youre so incredibly beautiful not only on the outside but the inside too... it can be rare to find someone like that. i hope youre able to see yourself through my eyes someday and see yourself for what you truly are—beautiful"

i hope it doesnt come off weird

ok i cried and messaged her i should rlly just sleep now

Well... How did I get here?

Hey Ty! Happy August! It’s Kitty month, because Kitty’s birthday is the 11th. I actually have a paid day off on her birthday to make sure I can spend as much time with her as she’d like, even if it’s only online for now. Makes me happy to know that I’ve made that time for her, special, as she deserves. 

I hung out with Rose today! We went and saw the Barbie movie, and got ramen and caught up. We ended up talking about a whole lot of things, trying to catch each other up on everything since high school. We’d seen each other in passing since then, but we hadn’t actually talked, ya know? We caught each other up on The Tea™, little as there was. She told me about Cas and her living situation, and I talked about Gem and Mags and Kitty and Curse and Aza. I think as far as general overviews go, it went well. I also let Rose know that she is on the list of people I wouldn’t mind living with, and if anything happens she knows that my home is always open to her. As are my DMs, if she wants to talk. We reconnected a bit and it was really nice! 

I think I’ve decided that I’m not going to do Light Brigade this year. Which… I say every off season. But it really has been 8 entire years. I think that with all the changes happening this next year, I probably need to be home more. Just getting into the groove of things. After all, that is a lot of changes - mom moving away, Kitty, Curse, and Aza moving up here, potentially getting an IRS job so I can be happier - things like that. And while I’ve been doing okay staying constantly busy… I don’t want to do that anymore. I was SO busy prepandemic, so much work and guard and classes and blah blah blah. I want a year of just rest. Of chillin’. Lol. And I love guard so so much, but maybe its time I retired. This last season was amazing, but after COVID, making it through the runs were hard. Like, really hard. 

Josh and I had a chat about the romantic vs platonic thing on Monday, and he wanted to be sure that I wasn’t insulted by him mentioning that he may just think of me as a very good friend and that romance was just another room in the house, so to speak. George - his therapist - had mentioned that the phrasing may have been insulting. Lol! But I told him the truth that it was actually kind of freeing. Knowing that, I was able to assess and be truthful about my own feelings without worrying about hurting him. After all, even if Josh and I decided to just be friends, or friends with benefits, or whatever, we’ll still live together and support each other and be a team. It’s giving mom-mom and pop-pop Peebles, tbh. 

I’ve been thinking about whether or not our relationship has maybe run its course? Because he stayed because of the pandemic, and we’ve been forced to be together often because of our living situation, there was nowhere for him to go. Not that I wanted him to, we just wouldn’t have been able to afford it anyway. The thing about that though is that now that we’ve had the conversation I feel… less pressure? I guess? I no longer feel like he has a stated expectation for intimacy and closeness, which in turn makes me more open to it. Therapy Works™! I dunno. Since that conversation I’ve wanted him to be closer and I’ve wanted to cuddle up more than I have in a long time? Idk bro. 

I also! Today! Got my nexplanon replaced! Only TWO YEARS overdue! Lmao. So I have a bunch of gauze wrapped around my arm and a bandaid and my arm ACHES every so often, but it’s not so bad. I’m worried, though. I had a lot of really bad emotional fluxuations when I got my first one. That being said, it was five years ago, and a LOT more was happening then, but still. I have gotten to a place of supposed calm and ease, and I’m worried that the hormone fluctuation will change that. I’ll probably just cry more lol. That’s what happened before - I started sobbing because Markiplier was playing a game as a tree and then jumped into a saw. Lol. So maybe I get Even Softer with the hormones in me. Which. Sure. As long as I’m not Even Softer and pregnant! 

The added bonus is that if birth control gets outlawed, since we’re in a country that cares very little for people like me, I have three (to five) years of it just in my arm. I can just pretend it’s not there lol. If the, like, birth control police or whatever knock on my door. 

Today was productive and busy, so now I am sitting on the bed reading Dracula. I’m at the point in the day where I’m not sure what I want to do, but I definitely want to vibe. Kitty and I are going to watch Good Omens whenever she feels better - when she’s in pain, she can’t focus on much of anything - but in the meantime I find myself between hobbies. I am reading and doodling and rolled a dice to choose which to do. I am also rping, as I always am, and that helps. Lol. Makes me feel alive. 

I also talked to Rose about Rhys, and everything that happened with that. She said that she understands how I feel about them and like, as I agree with, good for them, I’m glad they’re successful, it just doesn’t have to be With Me. We also talked about successful creativity and how hard it was to continue to create during the pandemic, and it was just a really nice talk. Now I just send her memes! 

Last things last, our friend Lana decided to try going by she/her and being called Lana! I’m so excited for her! I hope that she is able to find out who she is and hope she gets comfortable with it. 

I thought about it because Rose and I saw the Barbie movie, and every woman I’ve talked to who’s seen it has cried. I did not. Afterward it hit me why - I’m not a woman! Lol. It was a good movie with a good message, and apparently one of those movies where people watch it and then break up with their boyfriends (just like Midsommer and Gone Girl! lol) but it really just cemented for me that I don’t really connect with the message like I would, and also, that I don’t feel like I’m expected to or have to. That’s nice.

Anyway, Ty, thanks for listening as always. It’s a good day for a good day. :)
