#this is sad but also a bit funny i guess 🥲

[leopardom]

that anon knows what they're saying is rude and unnecessary or they wouldn't be on anon. anyways, some of us like enjoying things for more than one day, it's a shame the anon let the social media rot get to their brain :/

ikr, sadly this is a common occurrence these days because content on social media moves so fast 🥲 also true, people can disagree off anon too but i guess this person just wants to be mean and got their chance here

[lxmelle]

hi lxmelle!! I have another jp(?) and jjk related question that I'm too shy to ask anyone else again ... do you know why takaken (takaba x kenjaku) is called pinchan? 🤔

and also how are you doing? 😄

also also, I had another question, but I totally forgot what it was. I might come back to ask if that's okay 🥲

again you don't have to answer ! that's all thank you🩷

Edit: this has an update 😊 https://www.tumblr.com/lxmelle/766125746628542464/hi-lxmelle-i-have-another-jp-and-jjk-related

Hi lex!!

Thank you for sending me an ask!

Hehe, I think you’re thoroughly adorable 😆 I’m sorry this took a while - you can ask me anything, anytime! It’s nice to have something to write about on this platform - I probably get a bit too noisy on Twitter/X, so I appreciate the opportunity to do something here as well.

So about Takaba x Kenjaku… From what I understand, TakaKen being “Pinchan” is the equivalent to GojoGeto being “Harattare Honpo” - it’s their manzai name (stage name).

That’s the straightforward & simple answer to the question!

But I think… perhaps some context might be useful? I hope you don’t mind, I’ll just blab a little bit on the arc & manzai in general. If you want to skip it, that’s fine! More under the cut:

I will once again preface with that I’m not Japanese, and haven’t lived there, so my understanding is through research and from being… uh, I guess an otaku / fujoshi / someone who had an interest in Japanese culture once upon a time 😅

So if there are inaccuracies, please feel free to educate me and I hope it’ll also allow others to learn from your knowledge. The bottomline is, even if I dare to write about stuff and talk freely about what I think, I’m in no way trying to claim myself as a subject matter expert. I just like to ramble, and I’m no better than anyone else - these are just my opinions free for anyone to read and you’re all welcome to make up your own mind 😄

With that out of the way...

So I’ll take the opportunity to offer a little bit of what I’ve come to understand… there are comedic duos (combi / コンビ) who do manzai / skits with set roles of the boke and tsukkomi, and also solo comedians (pin-geinin / ピン芸人). Sometimes duos & solos alike will partner up for shows and variety programmes, making it a nice mix of characters and dynamics. Some of these are quite popular internationally.

Kenjaku making it up on the spot on the grand stage in the “finale” of his battle with Takaba is likely a nod / reference to this manzai culture, where the “pin” in “pinchan” is from “pin-geinin” (solo comedic act), which makes it humorously ironic because they’re a “combi” / duo.

To add to the irony, they’re a manzai duo / combi comprised of enemies… They are on opposing sides but get along? It’s funny!

The more I think about it, the more it appears to me that pinchan represents some kind of dark irony.

For example, Kenny appeared to have worked solo (“pin”) for decades doing his brain-hopping thing with his research & awful experiments and Takaba has always wanted a suitable partner to be a “combi” in his manzai career. They stumbled upon their amazing chemistry by accident, that it was fun, and discovered these feelings within the battle - it’s quite bittersweet and sadly ironic to enjoy something together but ultimately have to mean to harm the other until there is just one.

And as light-hearted as comedy is, what they’re doing is also ironic because it’s totally not light-hearted to want to kill the other. So it’s like proclaiming “we are a solo!” They’re a combi/soulmates! …but they have to kill each other.

The “cute” nature of the honorific -chan also makes it more ironic because, in actuality, the skit itself that brought them together is a battle to the death. It’s so dark. There is irony and duality intermingled in the entire scene. It’s a bit sad, too - which I guess is also shown in how there were mixed feelings between the duo with Takaba crying and Kenjaku appearing rather stoic.

Someone joked on X that with chan gone there can only be pin left. And who knows who is meant to be pin or chan, lol. So I guess it’s quite well understood that the term “pinchan” has some reference to a pin-geinin / solo comedic performance.

I hope my thoughts made sense 🤔 it sounded ok (well, better) in my head, so I never really know how it’s received.

Ah and honestly, lately my brain like Swiss cheese, so I forget a lot of stuff… there are times where I can’t remember what I’ve written, or where 😂 please forgive me if I sound like a broken record.

As for how I am, I’m constantly shifting gears in my head at the moment as I juggle this and that. But! I’m doing good, thanks for asking~!! 🫶 How are you doing? And btw, everyone else is welcome to also post a comment 😃 and tell us how you are!

Comments and thoughts welcomed! Repost, comment, do what you like 😄

[cowboymantis]

(Spoiler free for the Yakuza amazon series, just vague thoughts! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT WETHER YOU'VE PLAYED YAKUZA BEFORE OR NOT!!)

I didn't want to finish it yet (because that means it's over), but I have now finished the Yakuza show, and BOY did I already love the first episodes, but it was even more peak in the last ones 😭😭😭😭

I was so excited for it, although the fandom showed its annoying side again, but I didn't let that influence my happiness for it, and I just enjoyed it to the fullest 🙏 Of course I had some worries before watching, but it was just really good. Perfect? No, but let's not act like Yakuza 1 is perfect either (I'm saying this as someone who had Yakuzer brainrot for many years now and is never escaping it), and the fandom now all of a sudden wants to act like Yakuza 1 is the greatest masterpiece ever and how everything that changes it is BAD

Anyywayy...

Definitely really loved the focus being more on the Sunflower kids and how they grew up and eventually got tangled into the Yakuza business! It made one scene in particular WAAY more emotional and sad than in the games 🥺

And wow. They really bamboozled us with hiding a certain character from us, huh...

Loved how many actors I recognised :'D Some were definitely a surprise, because we didn't know much of the cast beforehand!

I remember when they first showed a photo of Indy, and I thought, huh. He kinda looks like Namioka Kazuki (Sid's actor from Kamen Rider Gaim). But I might imagine things because I've been watching some dramas with him in it (I absolutely love his roles they're so embarrassing but funny but also kinda adorable (like Sid for example 😭)). BUT THEN HE APPEARED AND IT TOTALLY WAS HIM . AND HE WAS WEARING A COWBOY HAT HELLO???

Another thing I enjoyed was the mystery around the demons! Something completely new that leaves you speculating from the start. I was guessing who they might be other than that they're working with a certain character, for the longest time I thought maybe they could be the Jingweon, because of the masks. Of course not saying anything to that, but yeah. I cannot really tell how much I liked the resolution to that, since uh. I have questions left ldjdkf

The finale was just great too, and this one scene that looked a lot like the Yakuza 7 finale...

And so so many beautiful and aesthetic scenes with Nishiki 🥲 He's truly the goat in every version... And a poor little meow meow 😭

At first, I was unsure if I could take him seriously because I knew his actor from the drama Super Salaryman and . Well. Let's just say he's unbearable (in a funny way).. But his actor really did SUCH a perfect job in portraying him, and sometimes his voice reminded me so much of game Nishiki 🥺

Speaking of Nishiki, a Yakuza stageplay Nishiki and Amazon series Kiryu collab would be funny. It would be like a Kamen Rider Gaim X Kamen Rider Drive collab, but Yakuza 💀 Kamen Rider and Yakuzer are always weirdly connected...

Oh!! And another thing, the soundtrack fr sounded like straight out of the games sometimes, it was really cool! And the music during the finale was so hype it probably could be a cool final boss theme in the games :) Or at least a final long battle theme!

Majima was fun too, although I feel like if you know absolutely nothing about Yakuza and Majima, you'd be a bit confused about him. He really feels like you have to know him to be excited about him, if that makes sense?

But then, on the other hand, there's a big "plot twist" at the end of the show, and it almost even feels like a dramatic cliffhanger. But it's something everyone who played the game knew, and I kinda assumed it a bit to be canon to the show too. So yeah, I feel like this is a bit of a problem with this show: It can't decide whether it is purely for fans of the games, or newcomers. Or maybe they just added a mix of game canon and new canon to make it more exiting for both sides? I always try to see criticism I give in another light, aka "why did they do it this way?", so I'm a bit conflicted in certain choices!

[caffeiiine]

opinions. i want opinions on the cast so far :D.

CAST OPINIONS!!

sara - really cool protagonist actually i love her, not my favorite in the whole thing. more or less neutral on her actually but that could change <3

joe - oh my god he’s so stupid i love him.

keiji - he keeps calling sara cute🥲🥲🥲🥲why man🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 i also don’t like how he keeps saying “im a cop” it reminds me of when kids are so bad at lying that the one way they can think of to convince everyone that they are something is to say it every two seconds so nobody forgets🥲not my favorite by a long shor

kanna - MAKES ME SAD. her and reko have a really fun dynamic though they’re cute together, siblings <3

reko- I LOVE REKO, i love how she practically took in gin and kanna and they call her big sis reko it’s the cutest thing ever to me i love sibling dynamics niki, i love them so much

nao - neutral-ish? i like her but she’s not exactly remarkable to me. the dynamic she had with the professor though was sweet☹️

kai - ohhhh kai. he’s akutagawa 2.0 to me. i don’t know what it is about him, he simultaneously reminds me of both korekiyo v3 and akutagawa bsd and my brain just attached to him so i guess he’s living here now! anyways i have probably 15 images of him on my phone from pinterest and i will probably doodle him later :] favorite housewife ever

mishima - UGHHSHSG HE WAS SO SWEET TO THE KIDS. AND HE WAS A TEACHER. EUGHAHGHZ. i’m so sad over him. he died too early ☹️☹️☹️☹️i was looking forward to the interactions he’d have with sara and gin and kanna and nao ☹️☹️☹️ HE WAS SO SWEET WITH THEM. also his bit with repeadedky asking sara if she was gonna smoke and slowly confiscating everything she collected bc he was really bad at hiding that he really wanted to smoke a cigar was really funny and i liked that bit a lot

alice [i forgot his name, and that’s what google is showing me] - why is his name alice??? i’m like halfway through the first trial rn so i’ll probably figure it out soon but that’s an interesting name for a man ill say that

q-taro - admittedly i did not like him when i first saw him but he’s actually kinda funny <3

gin - I LOVE HIM. he’s so silly man, cutest ever. close favorite just barely after mishima <3

Ice Dance Falls, Fails and Flubs

Part 1

1. “Stationary Lift BASE?! “😱🫠

Classic HD fuck up 1.0

By now y’all know my distain for HD, not that I have any love lost for Bock either.. or WeaPo.. or gilorier.. so basically this is me missing VM at 4CC and HOLLERING at the cocky ness HD display for a rushed, messy, careless program with a travelling stationary lift guys come on what are you doing sitting there pep-rallying for +5’s.. you look like idiots. Btw. who tf is this lady on the right ↗️??

Also feat. Evan ‘employee of the month at Taco Bell’ Bates

2. Belbin/Agosto blow it in the Compulsory Dance

They came to these world champs in 2008 expected to win, with the Russians D/S out with injury. But down Tanith goes on a twizzle in the CD.. the point of CD’s is that you are in hold basically the whole time therefore it’s extremely unlikely to fall bc your partner holds you. This put them 6th after the CD, 5th in the OD, rising to 4th after the FD.. they would never win a worlds or Olympics despite being an incredible team* (for the time.. )

3. FP/M- Torino addition

Maybe the funniest thing ever in Ice dance. This happened after at least 3 teams had already had serious falls (including Marie and Patch which I won’t be talking about bc of the seriousness of it- that was not funny) this on the other hand is HILARIOUS. Firstly: the costumes. WHAT? WHY? Maritzio looking like a pimp. Even before the fall this performance reminds me of your cringe aunt and uncle getting up to dance at a wedding. They had not competed since SLC 2002.. we won’t discuss that bc How and WHY- what sport was ID in 2002 where this team wins a medal over Bourne & Kraatz?????

Then.. the fall.. yes BESP uncles.. it was the too much outside edge that did it, that’s where the problems started, never mind mags’ shithouse skating skills.

My favourite part is when she just *reverse Homer Simpson’s out of a hedge* towards him and he does that *nod* as if to say “hey that was pretty damn good” seriously, what a flop, even in the K&c it continues to be hilarious him just man spreading looking at the scores while she looks like she’s gonna kill herself (and him), he’s looking as if ‘yeah that’s not bad’ well you wouldn’t know bro there’s been a new system introduced since you seemingly last stepped on an ice rink.

Just omg.. iconic. all I can think about is god forbid this ever happened to vm and the polar opposite their reaction would be (except S never dropped T and S actually had skating skills)

4. The piece of shit that is Didier Gailhauget

(Thankyou to @iluvausten for finding this for me)

I don’t need to translate this right y’all get it..

This tweet and subsequent result is the reason the acronym LMFAO was invented. Guess the Russian mob didn’t feel like helping out on this one sorry boo 🥲

(And/Or the bby angels were just too damn good)

5. Bourne/Kraatz 2002

This is kinda a sad one..

But what I love is the contrast between B/K reaction and FP/M..

No blame, no hate, no making a scene.

They were in 4th place going into the FD with a good chance of capturing bronze, but fell in the last 5 seconds.

It was so unfortunate but you know what: you skate to MJ you should expect karma..

They finished 4th- same as they had in 1998- a fixed event

6. Classic HD fuck up 2.0, Worlds 2017

I don’t want to talk about this to point where I’m gonna get hate for it and I also don’t want to be that person who says ‘I don’t talk bout what I don’t know’ and then talk about what I don’t know but since this post has a bit of a ‘blunt and direct humour about it’, why do I get the feeling that the whole ‘we don’t have faith in ourselves’ thing was a bit of an act with these two and training with the goats gave them this false sense that they were better than they were and took that cocky confidence too far to the point where (he especially) couldn’t stay on his damn feet?? The whole ‘Gabrois podium sweep’ thing they were going for at these worlds and olys gives me side eye..

Ok. That’s part 1, part 2 coming soon

Reminder this is all in good humour, every team that competes at this level is highly skilled in some respect and then others are just a$$holes🥰

[umemiyan]

little brother yuuta who thinks you're the best you say....yuuta calling you onee-chan you say... ^OxO^

sorry i had to go to sleep last night after i posted that lmao but YES!!!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! i often think back to these headcanons i wrote a while back and i just alsfjowfi i feel like i wanna do more with this relationship/these vibes. i know he's canonically said to be an older brother which is great but i also just love the idea of loverboy little brother yuuta who grows up being obsessed with his beautiful sister.

the age gap isn't too tremendous but i feel like you were old enough to really dote on him and kinda care for him a bit as a baby/toddler/etc. and he really just got attached to that. it made him admire you SO much and when he was little he even used to say stuff like he wanted to marry you, which everyone thought was cute and funny but had to explain why he couldn't. which..... he definitely internalized but he still couldn't make those strong feelings go away. he eventually tried not to say "weird" stuff like that anymore but was still very eager to play with you or cuddle together in bed, etc. just any attention you would give him.

and as you both got older and that attention fluctuated more, it made him very sad, and he would just jump at any opportunity to spend time with you. sometimes he'd be like "onee-chan... can we play games today?" and you'd say "sorry, yuuta, i'm going over to my friend's house!" and he'd smile and say 'okay' but lowkey cry a little and try to go play by himself 🥲 he would do his best to understand that you have older friends to play with sometimes, but like... it would make him ache SO bad.

he wasn't great at trying to make his own friends to play with either. for some reason i tend to think of this in context of a modern au without rika as a curse, but honestly it would be interesting with her involved as well somehow. tho i wouldn't want to diminish or twist their relationship around too much so i guess that's why i automatically go the other route lol. but there's probably some way it could be worked to create a really dynamic story... idk!!! my brain is still getting in gear for the day and i feel like if i went too in-depth with story-weaving i'd want it to be a whole fic and then get mad if i couldn't execute it LOL

but yeah anyways i'm already talking too much. yuuta's just a sweet boy who's unfortunately not really normal about his older sister at all. he wishes he could be, but he can't bring himself to let it go. and it only complicates things in the future when you both grow up and he can't seem to have a good close relationship with pretty much anyone else. and there's still this strange codependent dynamic between you two that you don't necessarily realize and it just continues to make it worse. he wants to be your most special thing and crawl into your bed again like he used to, except now he thinks about doing it in other ways too....

[spacehostilityy]

Part 3 of my nnt rewatch ep 13-18

I'm trying to watch it in latam Spanish but I just rlly love the English voice cast >:( I'm doing it for most scenes anyway tho🤪 I do love español!Elizabeth's voice tho !! I maintain that English!Ban is the best voice tho

Do we know why meliodas loses his emotions in this form?

And what form even is this? We never see it again if I remember correctly?

Helbram's magic lowkey cool as fuck

I want to see ban and Elizabeth interact one on one more often, as the two people closest to Meliodas (aside from Merlin, but she has secrets) I want to see them together, yk?

MelBan is just so good like they beat the shit out of each other to show love and I think that's beautiful

I know a lot of ppl ship lancelot and tristan but I ship their dads🫣 el oh el

Elizabeth should be way more powerful than she is and that is what polishes me off the most in all of sds honestly >:(

Also I'm back on my howzer x diane bullshit 😔

La voz del español!Meli es tan profundo, pienso que es la voz más diferente de las versiones, es extraño

Mi teoría sobre la voz de meliodas solo existe en las versiones de inglés y japonés I guess

King and Ban training together is so fucking cutee

I love how we just never rlly find out anything abt the trumpet of cernunos lol

How is ban's jacket too short but his pants aren't? Not complaining, that's just silly lol

Also him defending Meli even tho he obviously knows he's a demon is so🥺

Meliodas splitting the mountain with the branch is one of my fave scenes, we get to see that there's so much more to him and it hints at his coming power

I forgot how tragic Gil and Margaret were that's a good storyline damn

Ep 14 time !!

Is helbram... hot?

YESSS roars of dawn time !!! Slader is so babygirl I love him sm

Guila is such a girlboss line yaasss kween kill those children !!

Why the fuck does meliodas own so many slutty women's costumes HMMM? is he... you know... 👀💅

Gowther introducing himself to Hawk as oinkity oink oink is so real, I love their bond

I love that will Elizabeth feels insta love and Meliodas has BEEN in love for 3000 years

Slader is like if demon!meliodas, ban, and hawk had a baby and that baby was a slut

Seeing genuine surprise from Meliodas when "gowther" was going to be defeated is so weird, like mans was sad he lost his friend and had no idea that wasn't him

The roars of dawn are all hot and that's a good thing

Poor Dale. He just wanted to protect his family. And he was hot too😔

Ban flipping King off while Meliodas revels in Chastiefol's softness is such a representation of all three of them

Meliodas straight up using hellblaze to fight the armored giant/Dale is so funny, it's like baby isn't ur biggest secret that you're a 3000 year old demon prince?? And hellblaze is your specialty demon power?? This does not seem inconspicuous

Also might do a ramble on hellblaze later 👀

Also ban using a whip is kinda 😳

Indiana jones type drip (I am both attracted to and find gender envy from Indiana jones)

The girls are fightingggg

Also this title card is so cute !!

Meliodas straight up being the holy knight grand Master of danafor is so funny to me

He looks so cute in his danafor outfit😭

Also I wonder where meliodas gets the groping thing from because 3000 years ago he was def not like that, though the groping does get less frequent as the story goes on and that's when the holy war arc is so maybe nakaba just forgot abt it lol

Also slavery being canon in nnt britannia is crazy when you think about it

The only reason meliodas didn't carry a sword being he would kill too many people is just a litttleeee bit funny

But also Cain saying that he is both too violently destructive and "too gentle a soul" is painstaking ahaha🥲 literally the best descriptor for him

Gowther carrying King on piggyback is so cute😭😭

I think the moment Meliodas finally kills Dale is a real turning point in the series. Before this, he had not killed a single opponent. He just fought to disarm and incapacitate. Just the next episode, he tells ban and gowther to "go straight for the kill" against the holy knights. As we see throughout the rest of the series, even before his emotions get caught in purgatory, he no longer feels hesitant to kill. He only becomes more and more like himself from the time of the Holy War (post 10 commandments). This is why I love his character sm, a corruption arc (even if he is never truly evil) is just so rare and one this good and angst filled is even rarer.

Ban continually stealing the same 1980s glamrock red leather set with studs bc he keeps getting murdered in it is the foundation of his character fr

Gowther and Elizabeth being the only ones who are not alcoholics is so real

Also all of them just sniffing king kills me😭

Diane being 30 feet tall means the world to me

Also gowther is so pretty, esp without his glasses

Long hair!Dreyfus is also ridiculously pretty

Ban just letting Gowther squish his tits is so hashtag real, mans gives no fucks

Hug🥰

I don't think I've seen this episode since the first time I watched nnt bc I totally forgot Arthur was introduced in it lol

LISTEN howzer rooting for Diane when they're on opposite sides of the battle is just rlly cute look how flustered he is🥺

so in English, after gowther uses rewrite light, the holy knights say "Meliodas! There you are! Ban, I really missed you man!" BUT in Spanish they call Meliodas mijo (meaning my son/my kid) and Ban hermano (brother)😭😭

THEY CALL GOWTHER MI QUERIDO (my love/dear/beloved) AKKSLDLDLT

Howzer and Gyula being the first ones to publicly stand up to dreyfus and hendy means so much I love them

Hendy was so hot😭😭

Wait how did I just realize that fraudrin was the one to break gowther's nightmare teller

Wait I also juT realized that Dreyfus is Gil's uncle. Gil is dreyfus's nephew. How did I not comprehend that

King, sobbing: why can't I ever protect the people that I care about?😢😭😓 Helbram: it's because you're consistently late🤨😐🙄

Helbram's eyeliner game is almost as good as Ban's

Is Howzer's hair supposed to be green or blond? Discuss.

On that note, we always say Elizabeth's hair is silver, but it's def mint green

Anyway,that's episode 18! Can't believe I'm already about to be on my last part of season 1 !!

[flowerbarrel-art]

I've been doing some Character AI for like an hour, I've gotten some screenshots on some funny and silly things (More like funny)

HELP I'M CRYING 😭

I hope he comes back with the milk 🫡

Okay but... Second, you just broke my brain

NO WAY-

I thought we were in a Alan Becker universe, guess we're in Pokemon Go now…

Hey Chosen! Take some chill pills. And blue, since when did you have 2 brothers…

Is he drinking… CHO YOU'RE MY FAVOR-

… Chosen... Did you learn with green?

And well that's it- oh yeah 👇

I might- keep them of course.

And I've gotten one more, imagine this will kinda happen in one of the AvA episode's 👇

This one was pretty sad tbh. It would be cool if that really happens, but he will better not die. He's just my favorite character yk. I'm now tired because Character AI 🥲 But i at least enjoyed my moment with talking and roleplaying with some AvA characters.

Yeah, Character AI is pretty fun. It always comes up with funny, weird and random stuff. 😆 I love that the AI mistakes the mercenary team for Team Rocket because that’s somewhat become their fandom name. It’s fun when people do draw them as Team Rocket too.

The AI’s ideas of Chosen’s business choices and hobbies seem a bit odd but as long as Chosen’s having fun!

And yeah, I hope Chosen will be ok in the new series too. Poor guy, and poor Orange too. I’m hoping the CG will use the color dropper to disguise themselves as random Rocket Org workers and epically bust Chosen and Orange out (maybe also with Purple, King and possibly Dark’s help).

癒し系 iyashikei

when thinking about iyashikei there are two that pop up in my mind, they are Natsume Yuujinchou and Mushishi. I need some iyashikei manga and anime from time to time to keep me somewhat sane in between. Here are some iyashikei anime/manga I enjoy (not in particular order)~

夏目友人帳 Natsume Yuujinchou

I wonder whether I can rewatch Natsume Yuujinchou (from beginning) within this year. I talked about it a bit here~ sorairokakera.tumblr.com/post/natsume-yuujinchou

蟲師 Mushishi

slow and beautiful, maybe I will rewatch this when I have some relaxing time, or read the manga.

ばらかもん Barakamon

Though it's been so long I don't really remember, I feel that I had fun watching Barakamon~! I might rewatch it soon or start reading the manga when I need something chill and heartwarming, and maybe, a little push to move forward.

君と僕。Kimi to Boku.

School-setting story of 5 boys that has iyashikei mood~! I like all of them (I like twins yuta-yuki the most) and I remember I enjoyed watching their stories long time ago. Heartwarming, funny, seishun!! I want to read Kimi to Boku manga soon, since this series has ended I want to know how their story continue, also I kind of miss them 🥺

しろくまカフェ Shirokuma Café

when I was about to watch this I thought whoa this series is long, can I keep watching this till the end. But then I watched it everyday and enjoyed it quite much~! Shirokuma Cafe has many characters and some of them are fun to watch. Panda is so adorable~ it caught me off-guard at that one sad episode of panda, I didn't expect there would be sad moment too.

田中くんはいつもけだるげ Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

I wish I can be like Tanaka-kun 🥲 I enjoyed reading Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge quite a lot. It's calming and fun, likable characters (Tanaka-kun blessed with good friends) and nice moments. I actually wish for Tanaka and Shiraishi to be together as a couple by the end of manga 🥺 I want more of them~

同居人はひざ、時々、頭のうえ。Doukyonin wa Hiza, Tokidoki, Atama no Ue.

I watched this at the beginning of this year, thinking 'let's see some cuteness of cat and human' but what I got was a heartwarming story ; ; I want to read the manga soon (hopefully)~ Subaru's parents are really nice ;__; I got inspired by Subaru's mom ⁠—those plants in their home garden, seeds from various places they visited on holiday, it's really great, I wish I can do that someday.

That's all for now, I guess. There are few iyashikei I want to try watching but haven't yet >< (so many on my list to watch and read) Hope we will have more heartwarming iyashikei works to enjoy, that may become a little healing to get through the day. I hope I can read more watch more this year~ with my own pace.

Butterfly’s Poison; Blood Chains (Chou no Doku) Part 3 - Hideo Ozaki Route

I'm quite interested in Hideo tbh, because he genuinely cares for Yuriko but it also feels like he hates her to an extent so I want to see if he'll still be a jerk lol. OH, Hideo already has a fiancee..I guess we might get a Yuriko is the mistress tragic end?🥲 I can see why Hideo's family would want to find a girl from an even more prestigious family than Yuriko's because Yuriko's mother looked down on them for thinking they could get Hideo and Yuriko to marry. I quite like how they talked about the 'what if' scenario of if Yuriko's mother wasn't against Hideo and Yuriko getting married. Hideo was definitely happy when Yuriko said they would be happy. It's actually kinda funny how Shiba has already noticed that Yuriko is a bit jealous and curious about Hideo's fiancee and teases Yuriko about it lol. It's quite amusing how everyone can tell how much Hideo and Yuriko want to be with each other except themselves lol. Honestly, they say such embarrassing things that would basically mean 'I like you' but they're so oblivious to it. But I guess more than obliviousness, they choose to believe that it shouldn't be love because they both have their circumstances that would make it too difficult if they do decide that they like each other and want to be together. I really enjoyed their night walk though, it felt sweet to see two childhood friends so honestly talk about how they felt like they've drifted apart but that even though they've grown older, they haven't really changed at heart. Hideo visiting her frequently to check on her after her mother passed away was really sweet of him, he's so considerate.

Such a happy and talkative Hideo at the zoo lol! He's actually so adorable when he's talking about animals, I didn't expect that haha. Honestly, even though I'm as happy as Yuriko is that Hideo is always inviting her out, I am also worried about the fiancee thing considering he's been going to Yuriko's house lately and is now going out with her to the zoo and an opera too, people would definitely misunderstand. Hideo holding her hand in the crowd to make sure she's okay was so unexpected but cute. Ughhh I hate how their date got ruined, I didn't want them to face reality yet and not in this way that could affect Hideo's military career either. But I'm still really happy that Hideo prioritised protecting Yuriko above everything else. Hideo so genuinely laughing at Yuriko asking him whether he still wants to fly in the sky like a bird because he said he wanted to be a bird when he was a child is so adorableee. Yuriko really was a wild child lol, untying her obi sash to use as a rope to save Hideo when he fell into the water chasing after birds is just such a hilarious scene to imagine. Awww Hideo and Yuriko taking that awkward photo by the river was super cute! It's probably going to bite them in the ass later but I don't even care because they're so innocent and sweet, how can we not support their love?! They should run away together like Yuriko said in the beginning lol.

My heart broke when Hideo said he volunteered to go to war in Siberia. I understand his reasons, and it's true that it's probably one of the only ways for him to refuse the engagement with a lady from such a prestigious family without shaming his family but I hate it. I absolutely hate it. I love it that Hideo would rather go to war and believe in the off chance that he'll survive and come back and be able to marry Yuriko, showing how much he loves her and refuses to marry anyone besides her. But I'm sorry I can't do it, I'm too weak. If I was Yuriko, I wouldn't be able to bear the idea of the man I love going so far away just so we could possibly be together. I'd rather we separate and he marry someone else. I'd rather he live in sadness than die. I don't want Hideo to die. There's so many ways he could die. He could die on the way there, from the war, from disease and so many other things! I wouldn't want him to go even if it was in the modern day, let alone the Taisho era! I just wouldn't be able to tolerate the idea of him dying in a foreign place when he didn't need to go. It's just too heartbreaking. I loved how they shared a kiss as they bathed in the sights of the town together, and naturally, they gave themselves to each other before Hideo departed. I hated having to watch them cry at being torn apart and possibly never seeing each other again, but I also really loved how pure their love is for each other with one determined to come back no matter what and the other determined to wait for them no matter what. It's just depressing to think about all the people who have gone through this before and never got their happy endings.

Sawako seems like a great woman and I think Hideo would be happy with her in the other routes where Yuriko is with someone else haha. I think if he got to see the strength she showed Yuriko, he would be able to love her. Hideo defied military orders and came back because he found out about Majima from another officer. It's actually kinda funny though, everyone has someone that recognises Majima in every route, it's like dang Majima, you're really not good at hiding this are you lol. I'm so glad that Hideo is leaving the military, I hope he can pursue his true interests now. Oh wow, he's already been studying birds in his spare time and has already published papers?! Dayum boy! He's already set lol. I'm honestly so happy for them, the ending made me feel so warm, they'll definitely bicker a lot but they'll also cherish each other a lot and thinking about their future makes me super happy for them haha. I was mad on behalf of Yuriko knowing that she always has to follow along with Hideo to discover new birds species in all kinds of places and having to separate from their son, but I guess I'm soft-hearted like Yuriko too, because when he said he can't live without her and can't concentrate when she isn't beside him, I couldn't get mad at him, because we all know how much Hideo loves her and how he's willing to give his life for her, so I really believe him when he says that living apart from Yuriko is like living without air, he really might die lol. I knew the tragic ending would be Hideo dying in Siberia, but thinking about Hideo's wonky writing in his letters as he got more and more exhausted, and the crinkled photo of them by the river being found in his military uniform just made me want to cry. The other tragic ending was honestly tough to read. Knowing how straight-laced Hideo is but having to have an affair in order to be with Yuriko, and he can only meet her once a week, but be forced to face reality every time he sees her bulging stomach and the limitations to their relationship, but still be unable to let it go because he loves her too much, everything just honestly breaks my heart. Seeing Hideo go from angry, happy, sad and just keep going through those rollercoaster of emotions in a short span of time of meeting her just hurts. He knows he's terrible but he can't even stop himself because he hates how he can't be Yuriko's husband no matter what and that's just so painful to watch.

Overall, I really loved Hideo's route, definitely my favourite for now haha. It had everything I wanted for a love restricted by things like social status, responsibility, duty and a strong passion for true love. I've always liked Hideo so I'm happy for him in the best end that they're able to be together even if they got distant because of things outside of their hands. I loved how we slowly got to watch over Hideo and Yuriko go again from awkwardly talking to each other, reminiscing about their past to quite openly showing how much they love and care for each other. I loved how Hideo put in so much effort to visit Yuriko and take her out when her mother passed away, and I loved how they were like childish little lovebirds when they ran away to the river, kissed, had a fight and took a photo showing their desire to marry and be together forever. I hated how Hideo decided to go to war, but I loved that it showed how much he was willing to sacrifice just for the chance to be with Yuriko. It showed the depth of his love for her and how much he didn't want a life that didn't have her as his wife, which is why I can see why the tragic ending tormented him so, especially when he believed that Yuriko didn't try hard enough to be with him and just married Shiba. I loved how they're truly like childhood friends that are unafraid to share exactly what they think with each other but still show how much they care for the other. I really liked their relationship and I thought it was really cute and sweet. I wish I could see more of them haha!

AHH OMG I HATE MYSELF 😭 I was debating on just ignoring the new ask, but I really can’t. I didn’t think it’d be bad to use the same sentences but understandable 😕 I’m really sorry. Feel free to delete them if you want 🥹 Ah I’m so embarrassed. I’m so sad and want to leave omg. I feel bad. (Hm I feel I’m kinda being dramatic lol. I hope you don’t feel bad 😕 please don’t reply with something bad or just don’t reply ahh.) -sad

NO ITS NOT YOUR FAULT ITS OKAY IM ACTUALLY REALLY GLAD YOU TOLD ME 😭 i’m simply trying to decide what the best plan is now

noooo babes it’s okay, please don’t feel bad 😭 i’m not good at this and idk if i’m the one being dramatic or not, i just really don’t want any trouble and i really don’t want anyone upset with me 😭

i mean i guess it’s really up to the author???? and obviously i don’t know the person who originally posted these prompts and i really don’t wanna upset them at all because they’ve worked hard on their writing 🥲

we’ve simply gotten ourselves into a little bit of a mess but that’s okay 🥲

i’m also really shy and i’m scared to write something to bonny kookoo and be like— hey, funny story 🧎🏻‍♀️ SO IDK WHAT TO DO MY ANXIETY IS GONNA EXPLODE OUT OF MY BODY

[hanzajesthanza]

@larkspurious technically it's like two ideas, expectedly they both entirely center around angoulême and regis, and unfortunately both are the "i know it’s a different world but i don't think these even are the same characters anymore" kind of AU 😐 which is kind of why i haven't shared about them — oh, and also because they're both depressing and confusing like "why would you say that"

the first one was tangentially inspired by drunken angel but moved to being its own thing. the idea would probably work best as a short story with not too much characterization, really simple. a young woman walks into a basement bar somewhere. after some back and forth she tells the bartender about her life, describing how she was trafficked as a girl and though she’s tried to make something of it since then, she feels trapped in the same cycles of crime, persecution, and despair, and as a result is thinking of killing herself. the bartender challenges her nihilistic outlook over a few nights, as the two debate about the point of life, she has some positive changes in her life — got her own place with a friend in escaping from her abusive boyfriend, got a new (legal) job, is trying to quit her drug habit. it’s a cause-and-effect cycle of his advice, her action. we learn very little about this bartender over the course of the story. but he has good words to say. as the young woman improves her life, she also drinks less, so she stops coming by the bar as often. the story ends off some months later, when she decides to visit her friend. but the bar is closed and boarded up. she wrests the attention of a near passerby to find out what happened—a break-in, rent trouble, or what. he explains to her, matter-of-factly, that the owner simply killed himself. so she’s left on the street corner alone.

i meant for it to be tragic, but i guess now that i explain it, it could sound kind of funny (or maybe that’s just a fucked up gen-Z sense of humor knocking). if i ever wrote it, i would try to put some gravity into it—i don’t mean for it to be a joke and would be sad if people thought it was intended to be one. no, it just felt like something that would happen. but this is why i think it would work as a short story, it would be a bit strange to have that kind of sudden ending with longer pacing.

the moral of this story, of course, being that everyone has their own demons. and also that because she’s left entirely alone again, and so her future returns to being uncertain. for all we know, after the end of it, she did something stupid like take her boyfriend back and quit her job. so it’s meant to show that, by trying to keep our misery from each other, we curse each other with it. eternally.

anyhow…

the second idea is much newer and less fleshed out. i’m not sure how it would work. in this AU—an actual proper AU this time, with witcher characters but just OOC 🥲 perhaps—it takes place the events of stygga castle occurred, and i hate this because it’s something which would never happen, but i think they (the hanza) must have some kind of falling out, as they dissipate their bonds and go to pursue individual lives. (though cahir stays with geralt, ciri, and yennefer, but left after the events at rivia). it’s funny, because this would be an inciting event and thus the origin of the entire conflict, but i actually have no idea how or why it would happen, which just goes to show it’s something which would not.

i suppose, the premise is that geralt’s hanza escaped the clutches of destiny, but for that, ceased to exist as heroes.

after a while, angoulême’s pursuits stopped working out for her, so she decided to track down the rest of what-was-a-company. milva vanished into the trees (brokilon still is a sovereign nation and a black box for all human ones), cahir is probably imprisoned (she thinks). funnily enough, the one who didn’t ‘disappear’ is regis, because he just moved his business elsewhere.

so she shows up. but their relationship is fraught. the events of stygga castle marred their understanding of each other. (a kind reminder that he drank). they don’t seem to know each other; opening up questions of if they ever did. they stopped being reflections of each other and now it seems cold voids take their place … no quest uniting them, no friendship, they just realize they feel nothing towards each other or what their group had, that it’s in the past and irrelevant now, so they say goodbyes as strangers… he has a life, she a life… and there’s no longer any crossing of them.

it’s a horrible thought. i made it up when i was very sad. and the canon characters would not do this. but it’s a thought i had, anyways

i have the worst au idea ive been sitting on for (maybe a year now) and i still cant find the words for it 🥲

[ashthemadwriter-archived]

Hi! Can I request a matchup? I can make mistakes while writing and sorry for that, English is not my first language 🥲

Im 18 years old, my zodiac sign is Scorpio, rising is Aries and moon sign is Leo.

I'm an INTP.

As my characteristic; I'm funny, I don't like to stay cold unless the situation needs it.

I am a problem solver, my friends always asks for my opinions if they can't decide.

I really like to learn literally anything and everything but I love history and art especially.

My hobbies are drawing, visiting museums and art galleries, shopping and reading.

Still I'm a bit lazy and a procrastinator. I always deliver my tasks at the last minute.

I'm so creative, I can say that it's a bit too much. My brain doesn't stop for a second even 🤣

I'm calm under the pressure, I always think logically but I don't forget about my feelings. I think I have a good balance about it.

As my bad traits, I'm a bit weird. I don't think it's bad actually but still it's not good either. I like to search the weirdest infos,songs, books etc.

I can lose my temper a little too quickly but I am not vocal about it, I dont like to make noises while I'm angry, sad or overly happy.

But when I have someone I cherish -which is pretty rare- I can make them feel like they are the most important person of the world. I can't say it to their faces but I am comfortable while texting or when I don't look at their eyes directly. Nobody gets bored around me because I have interest for nearly everything and I'm okay with any suggestion they will come with.

I don't like to talk about my problems but I am a good listener. I don't listen only but can help them to find the solution as well.

I guess that will be last, I'm not a jealous person and I like to give my all courage to them when I feel like they need it.

Thanks for accepting ❤️ if you don't, it's not a problem. Have a nice day

A/n: Tysm honey, and here you go :>

I match you with...

Ryuunosuke Akutagawa!

So the main reason I matched you with him was because you have the same interests and likes (It's not like other characters don't enjoy it, but it's not as mush as Akutagawa does). Akutagawa is really into art (any type of it, but mostly drawing since he's a pro at it), so he would definitely enjoy going to art galleries, like you do. Sure, he's more comfortable with spending time with his s/o at home, but I can definitely see him going to museums, art galleries and book stores. BTW you have my respect if you get him to go shopping with you lol. He will be really helpful tho, you know what I mean if you've watched BSD Wan; and if you haven't? Well, I assure you, you won't be having any trouble carrying all the bags. Rashoumoun will take care of it.

Akutagawa needs encouragement, A LOT. The man has literally Zero confidence and self steam due to abandonment issues (All Dazai's fault tbh) so it would mean a lot and also really helpful if you encourage him over doing stuff. I mean he cares about your opinion a lot cause you and Gin are the most important people to him; so it would definitely make him feel better.

Becoming his s/o takes a lot of effort. Akutagawa has his guard on, and even won't open up to his sister about some stuff; so he needs someone who he can interact with without having to worry about them telling others or thinking lowly of them. It would take you a lot of time to reach that level where he trusts you enough to show his feelings toward you. I mean it will take him a long time to even realize them and accept them... Overall, patience is the key.

I think he would ask your opinion about almost anything since you don't seem to mind it and as I said before, you and your opinion are important to him. He just wants everything- especially himself- to be perfect in your eyes; so your opinion matters to him more than you think.

Please assure him that he's perfect the way he is and doesn't need to change anything :")

If he ever talked to you about Dazai... Just know that the man trusts you with his life. literally. Ooh and never bring Dazai up unless he really wants to talk about it. It reminds him all his insecurities.

Akutagawa is not one to talk much tbh. Even if he's that comfortable around you. His love language is Acts of service and he tries to show your value to him by doing meaningful things.

It would be nice to hear you adore him though, the man would furiously blush while having butterflies in his stomach when hearing you saying how much he means to you or how much deeply you're in love with him. Doesn't matter if you do it over text or without making eye contact, But if you do it while looking into his eyes, The man would melt.

Do I need to say that this man literally memorizes everything you say. Even the most random things or the things that you've only said once is always on his mind.

You seem like you can get along with a lot of people, and it would mean a lot to him if Gin is considered as those people as well <3 Gin is his most important. You two dating will never happen if you have any problem with Gin or the other way around. Don't worry tho, she's a sweetheart, and so are you :)

You can make your partner feel like he's the most important in the world? Please do it to him. The man needs it so much ngl.

He wouldn't think you're weird, or he will find it adorable if he does. I mean he's weird in a way himself lol.

Him closing his eyes when feeling your fingers gently caressing his cheeks while he's the little spoon which is really, really rare cause he thinks you'd think of him as weak when you have to take care of him; but he didn't argue with you about it that day cuz ROUGH DAY AT WORK-

tysm for participating, and hope you like it <3

Happy new year! Hope you’re well<3

Happy New Year!!🥰🎉✨

New year is such a funny thing, nothing really changes in reality but for some reason it can feel like there‘s a huge invisible cliff in the calendar between December and January, and like there’s some monumental jump when the date changes.

Time has felt so wonky these past two years that I was having a hard time figuring out what even happened and when, as I tried to think back to what I actually got up to this past year. I did do stuff, for once, and somehow it was also stuff that I actually enjoyed? Yet I still felt kinda sad and melancholic and lonely about my life when I was having a Mood™️ just before midnight last night (kinda like that “looking out the bus window while it’s raining and some sad music plays in the background of the movie” thing🥲). It probably didn’t help that I spent the NYE/holidays alone once again, and could hear others having their parties with friends, family & partners.

It‘s funny how we give so much meaning to these single events and dates, and if we feel a certain meh way on that occasion, it can make us feel like all the days of the year were lacklustre. I know for sure that I had a lot of horrible days, but I also had more amazing days than I’ve had in a long time, and somehow this last year has managed to be both the worst and the best I can remember. I think I’ll really need to focus on reminding myself of that, and really work on giving more weight to those good days and the good progress. It was a bit too easy for me to think “okay so nothing‘s changed even after I tried so hard, why even bother then??” just because my NYE was so similar to all the other NYEs when I felt really alone, disconnected, and directionless. I guess what I’m trying to say with this hella weird rant is that, just because this one day of the year is branded as meaningful, and we often use it to reflect on our lives, the day itself - and how we feel on this date - doesn’t summarise our whole life/year.

I mean, this might be really obvious...😅 But I just realised that I really had to check myself last night for all these thoughts that kept dragging me low. I felt like I had achieved nothing just because I had no one to share “it“ with, during the year, but also in that space between the clock turning from 11:59 to 00:00. Why would our achievements and lives mean any less just because it’s ”just” us ourselves celebrating them? They really shouldn’t, and I guess I have the whole of next year, and beyond, to work on improving that mindset.

This might‘ve unintentionally come out a bit more on the angstier side than I planned lol, I think I’m still in that melancholic mood from last night🙈 But despite all that, I really am feeling tentatively optimistic about this new year and I’m more positive about the future than I’ve been in years.

I really hope we can all find some more little pockets of happiness here and there in the middle of the uncertainty and chaos that this world is throwing at us. It’s also important (for me and maybe for yous as well) to remember that even if we feel alone in our lives outside the interwebs, we can still have these supportive communities and connections online that can be life-savingly lovely<3

I‘m starting to doubt if I should even post this incoherent rant ahahah butttt then I remembered that one thing I think I did well in this past year was being very honest and open and raw in the way I was writing, and that ended up making so many (???😭) of you feel seen and heard and like you could relate. So I guess I’ll try to keep up with the good progress I made, and keep sharing openly even when it’s not always 100% sunshine and rainbows, and makes me worry about dragging other people down with me in my lil angsts. I mean, with finishing CYE this year, it became pretty clear that writing about difficult/“negative“ things can be an insanely positive experience too.

I hope you’re having a lovely first day of 2022, and yes, despite this messy rant in response to a simple sweet NY wishes ask (sorry😅), I think I’m actually doing pretty well. I hope you‘re all staying safe wherever you are, and maybe might even be able to remember one or two nice memories from the past year, even if it’s “just“ petting a puppy/kitty or listening to the rain or sitting in the sun or listening to a song that made you feel good.

We made it through 2021 & and we‘ll manage 2022 just the same. Go team! Love you, take care xx

[covenlegacy]

Hello. It was nice knowing your opinions. I had a doubt. Aren't you a little too intelligent to be stannning bts. Like for me their magic is fading. Their songs are good. And with meaning about life. It relaxes oneself. But their persona thing is fading. Likr they promote mental health but weigh themselves in terms of pounds. ( I am very sure they got skin withening in their early days), market themselves as a product. They are rich bit have to act like they are lonely and sad. Last year 2020 bts jin said he had no one to wish me on his bday and I was like why weren't you partying as you have many kpop friends. one time they were reading of a script talking on mental health. They also had plastic surgeries. With these things and surviving in the suffocating industry is not enough. I also don't like how they say army is their life. Like they are being too hard on themselves and on the other person. I too understand their struggles. But at this point of time my spirit guides are shouting to move on from them. I find this funny thv saying on weverse he wants his child's first word to be army. Like give me and your child a break. And on run bts episodes they are lowkey annoyed & tired? When will they get time to work on themselves and dark sides🥲? guess I should move on. What about you?

I went through all the stages of rejection and denial. Devaluation too.

Now I'm trying to gain experience. First, in tarot. As you may have noticed, there are interesting questions being asked here, which are mostly interesting to note, and secondly, you won't believe it helps you as well. If you are open enough to everything new, and it does not matter to you from whom to receive information. This is helpful when you are going through your traumas just by looking into others.

Well, about the brand. It's not 100% up to them. You know the industry and what the campaigns are doing. Moreover, they are now leaving for the army, they need to milk as much money from this cow as possible. And shoot so much material that the interest does not fade away. This is business. Look at their sales strategy. It's great. They just sell people their own thoughts and dreams. Shine! And for crazy money!

There is not a single word of lies in the words "Army is our life". This is really their life, their wallet, their houses, cars and apartments. All their first places are also them. All their awards, the whole world is the army who brought it to them on a silver platter. You underestimate their importance, but they really respect ARMYs, if only as a "world" power.

[shaampoo]

OH, AND ALMOST FORGOT (explanations for some of my OC's, and more OC's)

So like, it might be obvious lol, but these characters are kinda self inserts, just some, mostly ones with Casey and jinx,

Like Jinx one of what I want to be, just having fun and being carefree

Casey is what im feeling, in a more milder tone I guess, tired and overworked lol, also, I dont talk much to people I don't know that well, but if I like you enough, I will drown you with stuff about my Fics and Oc's

Dr. Wilde, well, I just wanna go apeshit like him, he's pretty much my impulsive thoughts come to life, also, I have a tendency to stare

Darian, He's just all my frustration, anger, and sadness and other problems I'm mad about, compressed into one person, where I can make it so that a person is mad for me and vent and stuff, and Solar Flare is someone I want in life lol

Viz, well, he's my anxiety, my insecurities, but I'm making it so that he can still lbe brave, like, the hero gig scares the guy, and yet he perseveres, no matter how hard he wants to give up, so like, it's kinda me telling myself that even when I'm scared I can still keep going?? And even when I want to give up I should still keep going for the greater good?? And that being scared to do something and still doing it is still as brave as just doing the thing without fear, if not maybe more brave??

Starlight, he's just what I want to be, in a more milder way, like, he fuckin slays, serves, whatever you call it, I want that confidence

Also, Starlight has a room, and all the walls have mirrors, like wall mirrors, ceiling mirrors, yeah, just so that Starlight can admire himself at every angle, also, it's impossible for a villain to sneak up on him in his room this way,

R.J. / Jester. Well, I'm Filipino, so, and I have a big family, so, and I want to be goofy so, and I want a child (kinda idk), so, and I want to show off Filipino stuff, so.

Also, I think it would be a pretty funny duo if Viz and Starlight got together, where like Starlight helps Viz with their anxiety, and uhh, like, insecurities(?? Shyness? Where like, they're ashamed of themselves-ness?), and I think it would be cool to see Viz get more confident by being a hero and facing his fears.

I'm kinda trying to put the sad characters, lime Darian and Viz in a positive light not as in romanticizing their struggles and stuff, like as in, even if you want to give up and stuff you should still keep going / still going even if you don't want to is very brave?? Idk, it's hard to explain, bleh, I hope I dont come off as like, rude or anything here 🥲. But I swear, I'm trying to make a positive message

It's unfortunate that most likely these characters will be static, cause the fics I'm making of them are just oneshots with a timeline, though, may e they'll get character development!

Also, I forgot a few OC's!

Jamie: warning, Jamie's story is pretty dark (idk actually, but, it is to me with manipulation [I think] and neglect,if you want to skip, the next oc is colored pink,)

A minion to a villain, and this villain, well, they're not meant to be liked. Jamie is one of the minions, and the villain, let's call them Nightmare, doesn't take care of his minions, think of a neglectful parent and that's Nightmare, and I hate him, I hate nightmare with every inch of my being, I want him obliterated, he has singlehandedly stopped my story from being a full on comedy, bit for Jamie to exist, he must as well, and I hate it, uh, anyways, Jamie is pretty skinny, and isn't even used to flavor, and doesn't have much (except for a teddy bear Nightmare got him from a shopping spree [don't be fooled, it's only to ensure Jamie's loyalty cause he's starved for affection), and was raised in Nightmares lair. Thankfully, the heroes got Jamie, they lock him in a cell (though, it's more like a small house ["Wow, it's bigger than my room!" Jamie says, pointing to the bed, he's referring to the bed, the bed is bigger than his room {at this point we should all team up to beat up nightmare}]), and keep an eye on him and try to explain that the situation he was in was not good, and they try to get him to gain some weight cause he's pretty skinny, and I'm trying to make a "get better and heal and realize the person you thought of as a dad was actually a piece of shit" arc for Jamie, and the heroes freeing the other minions. The other villains don't know about Nightmares minion thing, since he's seperate from the other villains (if they knew though, they would be disgusted, some would even try to get the minions out, Lumi would sneak food for them, Dr. Wilde would give them bombs to blow up the wall, all in all, we should hate Nightmare as much as we can, and use it to power a laser and obliterate the guy)

Uncle Kris / Tito Kris and Taz:

He's Filipino as well, and he's the uncle of Taz! Or Tazer as his vigilante name since he can control electricity. He takes care of Taz and Taz lives with him cause his sister (Cyndette), died in a experiment (she was a partner of Dr. Wilde before he went mad!), and her husband had died of cancer when Taz was 4, Tito Kris was the closest family member, having taken care of Taz before

Tito Kris is related to Jester, being his cousin (Taz sometimes visits [or when Tito Kris drops him off if there's an emergency] and hangs out with Micheal!). Tito Kris isnt aware of Taz being a hero, or the fact that he's being trained by vigilantes (heroes who aren't like, registered heroes in my world), he would get really concerned, the mad that 1. Taz didn't tell him 2. Taz is endangering himself.

Anyways, Tito Kris works as a fish breeder and shipper at home and manager at a restaurant, which makes him really tired at the end of the day, especially topped with taking care of Taz (who is 14, Tito Kris is 34). Taz is understanding though, and even takes care of his uncle whenever it's too much for his uncle, like sometimes whenever Tito Kris would pass out on the couch after getting home Taz would make dinner for him and leave it in the fridge and a note for Tito Kris about the dinner, and feed the fish if they hadn't been fed yet, a small sort of thank you to Tito Kris .

Also, Tito Kris has telekinesis, which is handy at the restaurant (if someone trips or a plate falls) and at fish breeding (fish jumping out, the mess of splashing water, beig able to install stuff without getting wet)

And then there's Hypnos / Mitchell Elliot

They're powers are making people calm or sleepy, he's a hero, and he doesn't really do battle much, he's more for the medical ward of the heroes base (or nearby hospitals to calm people down, or put them to sleep for surgery), to calm patients down etc.

A downside to Hypnos's power, is that he's always tired and sleepy, even when he isn't using his powers

Whenever Hypnos is put in battle, it's usually when the heroes want it to end peacefully, like maybe a hypnotized person, a villain who's this 🤏 close to a redemption arc, etc. Though, usually, Hypnos ends up dozing off leaning on his staff,

Also, Hypnos's room is incredibly comfortable, like plushies, pillows, soft carpet floor, amazing bed ,you name it,

Wait a minute...you sly dog, you got me monologuing! /Ref

I probs still have more OC's, but this is the some I remember

*Bams the door down*

Hello!

Tell me about your ocs please! All the random facts! Well not technically all, just some of them, you get what I mean. XD

I Want To Know More!

And also how's you been? And what do you think about everything that exists? =>

Random facts time!!!

Ill try to list them in order of like, my first OC to my most recent OC's

Jinx first!!!

Jinx was once turned into a cat by the villains, and Jinx was pretty chill about it really, they loved knocking stuff over at the villain base, and since the villains thought they was just turned into a cat, no JInx inside, they just assumed it was normal cat behavior

Jinx is a magpie, like they LOVE shiny stuff, like, once, the heroes and villains were fighting over an ancient artifact, who gets it, the heroes want it so that they know the villains cant abuse it, and the villains want it for power, and then Jinx just ups and steals it just cause its shiny

Jinx has a twin brother Aegis, hes the opposite of Jinx, a hero, no-nonsense, his powers is to create shields, i made him after i made Jinx, but using the base i made for Jinx

Aegis is Bisexual and up for poly btw (i even thought about making him date the leader of the heroes and the leader of the villains just for the shits and giggles,)

Jinx lives with their brother (Aegis is older by 2 minutes ["best 2 minutes of my life" lol], cause their parents kicked Jinx out at 18, and Aegis was disgusted by that, so he lived with Jinx

Jinx didnt get much attention as a child, so that's why they're what they're like today, he has flair, a loud voice, just so that they get attention,

also, Jinx had to mostly fend for themself as a child, and they were given almost no supervision, since their parents gave Aegis more attention and training, believing that AEgis was more fit to be a superhero, so Jinx could do whatever, really, so they ate a lot of candy, thus giving themselves a sweet tooth. This is also why Jinx is childish, they wasn't allowed to be a child back then so their allowing themselves to be a child

Also, im starting to wonder if Jinx does have a label on what side they're on, like, anti-heroes, to my research, do bad things for good. Anti-villains do good things for bad stuff, so I don't know if Jinx does have a side, cause they just do their own thing, sometimes joining the villains, sometimes joining the heroes, sometimes being an annoyance to both, so like, they're undecided i guess?? (Kinda like they're gender, it switches lol) Lemme look something up real quick...i guess JInx is like a rogue?

Also, Jinx, having no side, maybe has a lair of their own, a small one though, I've been thinking maybe a candy shop? Like, there's a basement of operations down there, and there's a candy shop up top?

Also, Jinx is Chaotic Lawful (or lawful chaotic), where they have a moral code, no one knows what it is though, but thank goodness its there

At first, i wanted to make Jinx have a double life as Casey, but then the more i thought about casey and their stories, it kinda spiraled into casey becoming their own character,

Now, onto Casey!!! Doing this cause he inspired a TON of characters

Caseys a trans man (aka ftm,), and has transitioned now.

He's a tired photographer and journalist (online), goes to college, engineering, he lives with his brother, Ryan Thompson (or Velocity as his hero name), also lives with his brother

Casey is Ryans adopted little brother, Caseys parents are Lady Luck and Mr. Misfortune (idk if i should give him siblings he was separated from)

So pretty much Casey has terrible and Amazing luck, they don't cancel each other out

This is pretty much where chaos happens around casey, but casey somehow gets out unharmed, which is great for his Photography and Journalism blog cause he usually stumbles into super fights!

Also, Caseys like, the go-to kidnapping victim for the villains, where they kidnap him a lot (they don't hurt him, cause i think I'm leaning more into comedy in my world ), and the heroes save him a lot, this led to him knowing a lot about both sides, also, once, Casey got out of his binds when the villains kidnapped him and left him, and instead of escaping, he takes pictures of the lair first, and gets out, and then proceeded to post the pictures and compliment the villain's style.

Also, Casey usually doesnt talk, mostly to people he doesn't know that much, if he's with Ryan or anyone he's really comfortable with, he will not shut up, showing them pictures, stuff he made using engineering, etc.

Also, every character inspired by Casey (like, they first started out as, haha, what if Casey was ___) has a white streak on their hair, so if you see an OC of mine with a white streak, you know what that means!

Now, Dr. Wilde!!

As you know, Dr. Wilde is a crazy scientist!

Dr. Wilde allows Lumi to call him Ezra (at first Lumi called him Dr. Ezra, but as they got more close Lumi started to call him Ezra, like a friend)

Casey has interviewed Dr. Wilde at some point, and even took pictures of his lab, and Casey has taken care of Tar once (picturing Tar and uploading to the internet how weird the rat is, and that once, the rat got in the oven while Casey was baking and it somehow survived)

Dr. Wilde has dyed Tar's fur a bit (haven't decided what color yet), just so that he can differentiate between the lab rats and Tar

Dr. Wilde's lab is right next to his room (which is like a house, having a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.),

Dr. Wilde rarely leaves his lab / room, as he isn't really interested in the outside world, and when he does leave, he brings Tar with him, and Tar is just perched over Dr. Wilde's shoulder

Dr. Wilde is pretty short, compared to other villains (i should make a height chart actually), where the villains tower over him

Dr. Wilde has green eyes, also, if you look at him, he WILL stare into your soul, no one has ever seen him blink,

Now, Onto Darian Knight / Eclipse!!

As you can see, Darian is inspired by casey,

Darian, at first, joined the heroes to spite his dad, who was a villain back then, but after a while, he did come to like being a hero

Darian joined when he was 18, and he's surprised people still think he's a villain

Solar Flare and Casey are the few people who believe he's a genuine hero, Solar Flare cause he's worked with Darian long enough to know he's being genuine, and Casey cause he interviewed anough people to know whats a lie and whats not, Lumi also knows Casey isn't a villain

Sunny Knight / Lumi!!

He joined the villains at 19, about the same time as Darian,

At home with their parents, Sunny and Darian are more civil, more sibling-like,

In the battlefield, Sunny and Darian try to incapacitate each other than hurt, since, yknow, they're siblings. But they don't fight in the battlefield much, since sometimes Sunny and Darian converse, and the hereos and villains think that Sunny and Darian are teaming up and switching sides (Darian to villains and Sunny to heroes),

Also, Lumi joined the villains just because he could, and it looked fun

i dont have much on newer OC's lol, since i havent fleshed them out much lol

I also have a few more OC's i haven't talked about / fleshed out that much, like they're just an idea, but not a person yet.

Like uhh

Viz:

Theyre a hero with high anxiety, but despite having anxiety, and knowing he would get attention, interviews, etc. He still decides to be a hero, since to him, its the right thing to do. I still haven't showed them yet cause 1. i haven't drawn them yet, 2. with anxiety like them, i want to make sure i represent them well and make them realistic and that i don't make them like a stereotype

Starlight / Adrian Celeste:

Hes a self absorbed egocentric hero, and he's vain, he's kinda a joke hero i thought about, where like, he's self absorbed to the point its funny, hes still nice though, he doesn't show it much though, since he doesn't want to seem vulnerable and stuff. a simple backstory I thought about is that he was put down back then when he was young, so to make himself more confident, he started to compliment himself, and other stuff, but then it quickly spiraled put of control, and now hes like this. He also carries a mirror with himself at all times, just to admire himself, and his mirror in his room has sticky note surrounding where his face would be, and it says "perfect" "amazing" etc. also, he can glow, heal, teleport, and kinda has the ability to see the future (in like a vague way, like, he sees the stars and can sense something in the future, but its just really vague)

Jester / R.J. Santos: (Civilian name im not sure on yet)

Theyre a villain, a non serious villain, think like a cartoon villain, a goofy villain, they dont do any harm, just there to have fun. they also wanted to name themselves Jester Jinx, but since Jinx already had the name, they were okay with going with just Jester. Also, he's filipino. Also, he cares for young heroes (being an impromptu dad himself [long story where a kid of a hero wanted to be a villain, but the parent wanted them to be a hero, so the kid ran away, and got to casey, and casey took care of them and helped them be a villain {the kids, actually a teen, like 16, the teen is names Shadowstrike and their civilian name is Micheal, they hate the name by the way},]), and once, casey saw that the heroes were sending young heroes to his base to defeat him, and Casey doesn't spot a singular a singular adult there, so he makes the young heroes (teens and even kids) sit down and stuff, and then he calls the heroes (he has their number cause they're usually on good terms), and yells at them over the phone for sending kids to a villain, and that they could've gotten hurt, and he gets so angry he starts shouting in filipino. Also! R.J. has a big family (based off my family), where his great grandma had 12 kids, and those kids (his grandparents and grand aunties and uncles) had kids (about 3 each), his aunties and uncles, and they have kids as well (about 3-5), his cousins and such, and his cousins had children as well, R.J. tries to remember them all by name, but its pretty hard, cause like, he has about

...

three- three thousand, three thousand family members?! Uhm, hold on i gotta ask my mom something about my family, or my dad since that family is on his side

Oh thank god, i only have 106 family members,

uh, so like, new and revised family tree!

my famly is gonna be R.j's family (cause holy fuck no way am i writing 3 thousand family members , J.C.) that's whats R.J's family is gonna be, 106 family members,

Anyways, ive been doing okay-ish! Could be better, but could be worse XP (lets just say the AO3 author curse is real). And i think of things that exist are poggers.
