#thirdthoughts

[thegonnagle]

I'm not exactly a fan of Pariging, but I do desperately want to see their scenes animated solely for the satisfaction of knowing that someone at Madhouse has to look at those panels full of ominous-horny RRRMs before choosing the appropriate background music.

And I know it's probably end up with smth like kingdom of predators to show their epic rivalry or whatever when everyone knows Pariston has Despacito on loop

So does White like get a magical girl transformation every time he gains an upgrade or does he have a complete Look™️ planned out in advance for each time he cracks a 10000 souls milestone

[the-green-april]

Thanks for the tag @khunfounded and @pinata09 !

The fool: I got into the manhwa after episode five of the anime! Until then it was more of a casual watch, but Khun’s plan for the crown game got me interested enough to start reading. Plus it helped that the whole setting felt pretty similar to hxh, the previous hyperfixation^^

The magician: I’d love to have Shinsu science skill like Gustang! How does his magic medicine work? How does the shinsu divination clicker work? It’s so interesting!

High Priestess: Whoever gets with Ha Yuri Jahad

The Empress: hmm they’re all best girl? I’m very very excited for more Endorssi story though because I think we’re gonna get a really unique and unusual (for a shounen) character arc

The Emperor: Bam is my best boy <3

The Hierophant: Probably Rachel?I think there’s still a lot of story waiting for us with her past in the outside world, and I hope that she’s gonna learn some self-respect and just not be as much of a bitch by making some friends on her team also Yurachel rights

The Lovers: Khunbam. Surprise

The Chariot: The end of the „three orders“ chapter. I remember I had to lay down my Tablet because I was literally going HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT in my mind. Also here’s a super low quality meme of my reaction to last station battle

Strength: Not to be cliché, but I love Bam’s character development A LOT. He’s grown so much throughout the story, and it melts (or breaks) my heart

The Hermit: I relate a lot to Khun. I‘ll probably write at least three more annoying metas about how insanely well written he is. I love him very much

Also Wangnan’s fuck capitalism arc lol

The Wheel of Fortune: The positioning test is one of my favourite parts because I loved that whole plot-twisty heist movie feel. Also loved Khun’s plan to make Bam trend on tog reddit. Also when they killed the magic bird at the nest. I love tog

Justice: Sort of a Dowon stance? I hate thinking about how many civilians are going to suffer due to the war Bam started, but I also think that the power system in the tower is absolutely terrible and needs to be overwrought and they’re not really giving out a vibe that they’d embrace a „change from within“. On that note, I like Kallavan’s stance as like, a moral position that exists in the story but he talks exactly like so many cynical politicians and I hate him so fucking much

Death: „A shark can’t swim with minnows forever.“That shit ripped my heart out

Also when Mata let Hockney go

The hanged man: Probably like..two months? Something like that? I knew pretty early I wasn’t gonna get out of this so I decided to start a sideblog for all my inevitable bad jokes and memes lol

Temperance: I want more team Shibisu! I think he and Hatz are a really cool duo, but I want to see them hang out with Endorssi and Anaak too

The Devil: I think Yasratcha is kind of funny just because he’s a catboy

The Tower: The conversation between Anaak and Endorssi chapters really got me invested. I was just floored by that level of nuanced character writing, especially for female characters. I instantly knew like, shit this is gonna become your new hxh and then it did

The Star: KHUNBAM HUGGGGG

Also RakKhunBam family

The Moon: Khunbam canon

The Sun: Endorssi is gonna end up without a love interest. It seems like the obvious way to go with her kinda as the female protag and the Princess trope, but I don’t think Siu is gonna head in that direction. I wanna write more about her someday

Judgement: I thought Rachel was nice

World: The tog fandom has been one of the nicest and most welcoming I’ve ever seen! I love y’all!!

Also @meliohy and @mariaashby64 if you haven‘t been tagged yet I’m nominating you for tog ramble challenge

Someone broke my teacup and nobody will confess

I have an illness that the Urgent Care called a “cold” (quotation marks and all) and yet for it they prescribed antibiotics, steroids, and a cough medicine with hydrocodone in it

Finally took all the quilts to the laundromat and one quilt took a half hour longer than everything else to dry

and also the dryer went Out Of Order in the middle of it so I had to spend extra quarters

Got home and discovered that because I had to carry down my giant quilt that SALM uses (the one that refused to dry) and my own quilt and couchmonsterblanket in two separate trips, I actually forgot my own quilt and blanket, so now I am the only one in the house who has to sleep in dirty fucking blankets

Also discovered that someone broke my new-to-me black vintage bone china teacup, snapped the handle right off, and left it on the cutting board without confessing, apologizing, or setting it up to make it look like a knife was slicing through the handle just for LOLs

While wandering JoAnn Fabrics looking for the right epoxy to fix it, my phone blew up from my G+ folks with notices that Google Plus, which has been my go-to internet social place since its first week in operation, where I built friendships and loves and professional network connections, where I rediscovered, rebuilt, and reinvented myself after leaving my ex, which has been an integral part of my daily life for over seven years...is shutting down. I spent untold minutes wandering the affixtive, beading, and yarn aisles, with epoxy still in my hands, crying and looking for something else to spend money on, and found nothing that was right. Then I found what looked like a pack of calligraphy nibs and was delighted until I realized they were only decorative - they all lacked that required split that lets the ink run down to the tip. The poor girl at the register went into the standard patter of “Hi, how are you today? :) :) :)” and all I could do was shake my head and try to not cry on the credit card reader

Got home, started making dinner, went to take the above-mentioned cough medicine which I had been putting off since noon because Driving While Opiated is not a good idea, and discovered that while it was on the table where I left it, and the prednisone, the box of antibiotics had completely. fucking. vanished. Found it in the recycling bin buried in the middle of a bunch of Daughterchild’s old school papers; apparently they must have gotten set down on the table by her or her dad while cleaning and then picked up and carried to the bin.

I am angry and fucking SAD, and all I really want to do is drink, but I can’t even do that because Hydrocodone cough syrup + alcohol = perhaps I will stop breathing forever

and even thought a thirdthoughts part of me knows that the second thoughts part of me is an idiot, that second thoughts part of me is like, “but how bad would that be really”

So I’m listening to my third thoughts but I hate it. I hate everything right now.

Please tell me something good. Please.

[newphonewhosthis]

I got tagged and I'm late SO SORRY

1. FAVORITE BOOK. 

You go for the kill huh? UGH ALRIGHT I'm redirecting to Capitan Tempesta because it was the first book that fit in the "favorite" category.

2. Favorite musician/group?

I CAN'T PICK EITHER maybe Arctic Monkeys right now? Maybe?

3. When you’re sad, what do you do to cheer yourself up?

Eating, videogames, loud music, idk, mostly I try to get someone who will listen about why am I sad I tend to feel better after crying out to someone.

4. you get to cuddle a fictional character as a baby, which one?

AOihdfosidfhsih I don't even like babies can I just say Dami? I have the headcanon that he'd be a chubby bb I'd want to check if it's true.

5. ferraris or audis? this is important. i will be checking your answers.

Gdi I mostly like neither because they are flashy and I like serious, old person's cars :I but I guess Audi because Ferrari is a douchey brand.

6. favorite movie that is actually really bad or corny. aka your shame movie. 

Hmmmm Sharknado. Yes. Except that I'm not ashamed. I like a lot of movies ironically because I'm an awful hipster. I AM ashamed of being a hipster tho, so I mantain sharknado.

7. Favorite scent? if you wear one, if you don’t what’s your favorite thing to smell?

Damn and me here with a blocked nose. I've forgotten what THINGS smell like. I think maybe the typical food from a bar down in my street? Idk it has always smelled exactly the same so I associate it with my home and stuff.

5. read a scary book or watch a scary movie? which is worse?

The only scary books I've tried reading were Stephen King's and those more than scary were disgusting. I've also read creepy pastas and haven't found any scary, so, I guess scary movie?

6. Hiking or swimming?

OH GOD I HATE HIKING I went to a camp and *war flashbacks* Anyways swimming forever yes. As long as it's competitive swimming and not "let's pose next to the pool" swimming I'm too fat and pale for that.

7. Zombie apocalypse, you can have any character but your favorite (if your fave is Cass, you can’t pick her<— example) by your side to help you survive, who are they?

Hmmmmmm I guess Jason has the higher chances of survival? Bruce would keep wondering whether or not the zombies are human or if he can get rid of them and the others aren't destructive enough.

8. What song do you think of with your most beloved character? doesn’t have to fit them, just a song you associate with them.

Siiiigh I hate these ones :'I my fave is Damian but nothing comes to my mind right now. What about volevo un gatto nero I'm really sorry without the lyrics it makes no sense and I'm too lazy to translate T^T

9. celebrity role model?

None really? I don't like any celebrities that much. I never want to learn about them as a person in case I get disappointed.

10. favorite anime/cartoon?

Um. Damn I don't even like any of them that much. Maybe kuragehime? or cardcaptor sakura?

11. what is a book you want to read, but haven’t yet?

The class books I should study but am not because I'm sick :'I I want to get on with it.

[ladyknightofhollyrose]

I got tagged! Wow, haven't done one of these for a while so this should be fun :3

Rule 1: Post the rules. Rule 2: Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post then make 11 new ones. Rule 3: Tag 11 people and link them to your post. Rule 4: Let them know you’ve tagged them.

1. FAVORITE BOOK. 

NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, JUST ONE IS TOO DIFFICULT D: But I guess I could narrow it down to two if I absolutely have to. So I'll go with Lady Knight by Tamora Pierce and Ptolemy's Gate by Jonathan Stroud.

2. favorite musician/group?

This tends to change with my mood and the sort of stuff I'm listening to at the time? Currently, I guess I'd pick Issues (since I think their album has lasted the longest on my phone), Bastille and Ellie Goulding.

3. When you’re sad, what do you do to cheer yourself up?

Most of the time I hole myself up in my room, find a cuddly toy to squeeze, and find something to read. Doesn't matter if it's a book or fic, but I find something to lose myself in completely for a bit. Usually, but the time I'm done I've calmed down and am feeling a lot better and more grounded.

4. you get to punch a fictional character in the face and they won’t hit you back because of vague and unexplained reasons, which do you sock? why is optional.

Joffrey from Game of Thrones. :D Might be a fairly obvious one, but really can you say it's not justified at all?

5. ferraris or audis? this is important. i will be checking your answers.

Oh god, this is making me think of uni. Also, hard question because I like them both for different reasons and different functions. In a sort of real setting where you're driving on roads I'd go with the Audi; dependable German engineering, smooth ride and comfort in a very pretty looking car. But if you're talking about being on an actual track, I say Ferrari all the way because damn. My motorsport module taught me that much :P

6. favorite movie that is actually really bad or corny. aka your shame movie. 

I don't think I've got one? I tend to be pretty shameless about what I like in general. Though one that people sometimes find surprising, is that I really love Kamikaze Girls and it's one of my favourite films =3=

7. Favorite scent? if you wear one, if you don’t what’s your favorite thing to smell?

I don't really wear them? Though wait, that's a lie I have two body spray thingies that I really like the smell of. One's vanilla and sandalwood scented, and the other is apparently 'red fruits and woods'. So yeah.

5. read a scary book or watch a scary movie? which is worse?

I don't tend to find 'scary' things very scary, but I think I'd always go with a book. I dunno, I just think that my imagination can probably creep me out more than any film I've seen, and sometimes just the way something is written is enough to give me goosebumps!

6. Hiking or swimming?

Oh god, when I was younger I would have said swimming without a second thought. I'd definitely be more likely to go for hiking these days though :3

7. Zombie apocalypse, you can have any character but your favorite (if your fave is Cass, you can’t pick her<— example) by your side to help you survive, who are they?

Jason Todd. I feel like he'd have good survivors instincts. (And I'm not just talking about in terms of shooting zombies in the face, either.)

8. What song do you think of with your most beloved character? doesn’t have to fit them, just a song you associate with them.

The first ones that came to mind were Why did I fall in love with you? by DBSK for Aomine Daiki and Why by Ayaka for Roxas from Kingdom Hearts. DON'T ASK WHY UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO SOB ALL OVER YOU AND BE A PILE OF FEELS.

9. celebrity role model?

I don't think I really have one? I don't pay attention to celebrities all that much and it's mostly luck if I recognise someone... (Cop out answer is a cop out?)

10. favorite anime/cartoon?

You really ask a lot of difficult questions orz This also tends to change depending on my mood (and what's airing at the time, haha) but overall at the minute I'd say Nodame Cantabile and Tiger & Bunny. Having said that, I'm only following three at the moment anyway?

11. what is a book you want to read, but haven’t yet?

OH GOD SO MANY. But I think my next priority is going to have to be reading Mastiff by Tamora Pierce because frankly I find it appalling that it's taken me this long when I have a digital copy of it. Of course the main reason I've been putting it off is because I can't remember what happened in Bloodhound or Terrier anymore so I'm going to have to reread them first. orz

—-BONUS NUMBER 12 FOR A KISS I F YOU GET IT RIGHT there’s a correct way to answer:

dick and talia yes/yes?

I hadn't really thought about it beyond that whole thing where Damian goes back to Talia to get his spine sorted out but now I really really want your cafe AU to be a thing because it sounds absolutely amazing *¬*

...I was going to be lazy and just shove my old questions here, but then I realised that they are actually two years old. Might yoink a few though, cause I'm a cheating cheater who cheats XD

so

1. If you could rewrite the ending of a book/movie/tv series/anime etc. and have it be canon, what would you pick, and how would you change it?

2. A fic idea that you'd love to read or write but don't have the courage/time/confidence to?

3. What is guarenteed to make you cry? Can be crying from joy or sadness, whichever :3

4. Name a fic that you could reread over and over again without getting bored (and if you have read it more than once, how many times do you think you've read it so far?)

5. Who do you admire? Can be real or fictional.

6. If you could go back in time and change one decision you made, which would you pick?

7. What is your favourite quote?

8. What really gets under your skin?

9. What do you find soothing?

10. What animal do you think you'd have as a daemon/familiar?

11. If you had to have a logo to represent you as a person, what would it look like? :3

And I'm going to tag: aroundthecoffeepot, revolutionjack, iredawn, third-thoughts (if you don't mind filling in another lot of questions) and anyone else who wants to give these a shot (cause I can't think of anyone else off the top of my head ^^')

[thegonnagle]

Press F to pay respects to the physics books that I am not gonna burn because I respect books and my librarian friends too much for that but that I'll definitely never fucking ever look at again

[the-green-april]

Can't believe it's really gonna be monday tomorrow and I'm gonna see Khunbam hug in real time full colour I'm

NOT READY is what I'm saying

[the-green-april]

Ha Yuri Jahad snapping her fingers making shit explode asmr

[the-green-april]

I love the nest arc and all the lore with the hidden grove team, but also I reeeally wanna know what the hell is going on with everyone else

Is Yuri okay? Is she in prison? Why was Evan free to go?

What favour did Rachel get from Gustang?

Gustang in general. What are his motives? How does the shinsu divination clicker work? How does his shinsu medicine work? If they have this research foundation, what is their relationship to the workshop? Please siu i want to knowww

Are Boro and Sachi just like. chilling now?

Is Beta still living in Khun‘s lighthouse? Does he ever come out?

What’s up with ma boy Khun Ran?

Where are Anaak and Endorssi?

Is Wolhaiksong doing literally anything while shit goes down

How are Leroro and Quant doing, we haven’t seen them in a while

[the-green-april]

Damnit I was not prepared for the season 2 finale to hit me this hard

This fucking panel I’m. I haven’t cried so hard in months and he isn’t even dead.  But knowing that Bam thinks he’s dead and that’s probably the closest thing he ever had to a parent-

Like this whole story Bam’s gone through so much growth in asserting his right to be treated as a human being, to be with his friends and choose his own path. And I’m not sure he could have gotten to that point if Jinsung hadn’t shown him that he cares for him as a person, hadn’t told him to follow his own wishes and be happy

And of fuckign course now Bam blames himself again for being too weak to fight against a Ranker and even though Evankhell seems awesome af this is gonna be another several years where he’s separated from his friends and he won’t be there when Khun wakes up and god I hate everything 

[the-green-april]

Maybe..it is time for a new icon..i do love this one it’s a very good Yuri obviously but there’s at least three other people who have it that have shown up in my notes at some point

[the-green-april]

The funniest thing to me is that video series on youtube titled "tower of god episode x release date" like thank you for telling me the date of Wednesday every week

[the-green-april]

...might fuck around and do an Endorssi meta post this weekend just because the wikia article on her personality is so aggressively terrible

[the-green-april]

Ngl chapter 468 gave me some intense chimera ant arc narrator flashbacks
