I can just see it being a normal day in the mindpalace and Patton just starts meowing. They all sorta look at him and he's like "What? I saw it online, all the kids are doing it now! It's called, 'mewing' " And either Janus or Virgil break out laughing, Logan sat their confused

#still not over the insane george orwell post that got reblogged onto my dash yesterday#i unfollowed the person who reblogged it#because either A) theyre a tankie or B) their criticial thinking skills are sub-fucking-zero#like 1) the OP of that post was just copying Hakims awful video on Orwell#2) to read animal farm and come out of it with the interpretation that Orwell was saying that the animals and hence the proletariat in the#USSR were just innately unintelligent shows a reading comprehension so bad its not even like piss poor. its piss impoverished#3) if a post is like ''also look X said Y Bad Thing'' without providing any of the context as to where that quote comes from theyre likely#being deliberately mishonest. it is easy to take someone out if context to make it look like they were saying something they werent which is#exactly what the OP of that post was doing. they took one sentence of Orwells writing on the nazis and Hitler to make it look like Orwell#thought Hitler was a swell guy when actually Orwells writing was about the dangers of charismatic tyrants like Hitler and their rhetoric#the entire thing was about how Hitler was able to amass such power and popularity and use that to his advantage#not every despot is so easy to pick out as dangerous or so easy to detest. hitler was hardly the first charismatic tyrant in history#OP also conveniently left out the fact that like the next sentence is orwell being like yeah no i would fucking kill this man which wow#thats a glaring omission. imagine if people decided to look up what OP was refetencing to verify irs veracity#4) OP does not mention that Orwell fought in La Guerra Civil alongside communists and socialists and anarchists etc.#he fought against the nationalists. he took a bullet to the neck during the fight. he was very much against francisco franco and his fascist#regime who were allied with Hitler and the Nazis#mentioning orwells participation in the spanish civil war really undercuts any of those arguments#5) you know who was actually allied with Hitler and Nazi Germany? STALIN#at the beginning of WWII the soviet union and nazi germany were in alliance. stalin and hitler did not have fundamental ideological#differences. if hitler had not betrayed stalin the soviet union would not have joined the allied powers#your uwu anti-fascist communist idol joseph fucking stalin was joseph fucking stalin. he was a fascist dictator whose actions deliberately#caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. he like vladimir lenin before him did not care for the ideals of marx#marxism leninism is a meaningless political ideology#the soviet union was not a communist paradise. neither stalin not lenin cared about the proletariat#i said this in my tag ramble yesterday but if you want to see a leader who actually followed marxist ideals go look up thomas sankara#im just rambling in the tags today to get out the lingering frustration i have

This reminds me that Bruce used to hallucinate his parents after their death, and in one scene, it's implied that if Bruce isn't polite enough, his mother let him suffer.
Tumblr media
~ Batman (2016)
Like, this boy is pleading to his mother to let him have his light on because he is scared, that's not normal.
Also, his hallucination of Martha wants him to kill himself and join them in death, even as a grown man, and it may be telling something about the kind of relationship she was developing with Bruce.
Anyway, tag that made me laugh:
Tumblr media
Joker: It just takes one bad day. Bruce: Skill issue.
I love your metas! I was wondering... have you or anyone else tried listing all of Bruce's childhood traumas? Comics zero in on Crime Alley, but EVERY time I see a snippet from his childhood it's invariably a little-to-a-lot fucked up whether his parents are involved (loneliness, bedtime stories, his mom lovingly promising to haunt him) or not (falling into the cave, going to a boarding school run by a killer in Batman Gothic, Tommy Elliott in general, a childhood friend died of diphtheria in Batman Through the Looking Glass... he saw a LOT of death as a child, actually...)
Thank you! I unfortunately don't know of a post listing all of Bruce's childhood traumas. You've kind of already covered a lot of bases, Anon, but for the sake of completeness I'll go through all you've mentioned and the traumatic incidents I can recall too:
Bruce falls into a well full of bats and develops a phobia in response [notable post-Crisis flashback in Batman: The Man Who Falls]
At five years old, Bruce's favorite story to have Thomas read to him every night for a month is “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, which is largely about kids with such neglectful parents that they bond with an automated house and then leave their parents for dead [mentioned by Bruce(s) in Batman/Superman (2013) #2]
Bruce witnessed his father performing surgery on a dying man [flashback in Batman: The Long Halloween]
Thomas reads to Bruce “The Animals and the Pit” by Alexander Nikolaevich Afanasyev, a story containing cannibalism and brutal fights for survival [flashback in Batman (2016) #74]
Thomas had Bruce watch horror movies with him, with Martha having to comfort Bruce afterwards in a bit of an unorthodox way... by promising that if they died, his parents would haunt him [flashback in Detective Comics (2016) #1027 -- Ghost Story]
Bruce experienced neglect as a child, with his father's parenting style being potrayed in multiple stories as authoritarian, which led to Bruce idolizing him and craving his approval, but running to Martha for comfort when his father was too harsh [notable flashbacks in Batman: The Dark Knight II (2011) #12, but bits of this can be seen in Batman: The Long Halloween, Batman: Hush, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #58, Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on a Serious Earth etc.]
Bruce had a friend called Celia Small for a while, whom he adored. He watched her die of diptheria while he recovered, blaming himself for it [mentioned in Batman: Through the Looking Glass]
Bruce was sent to a private school as a child, which he resented as being "sent away"; the school is described as hell, a place where children were beaten, humiliated and had to fight off the sexual advances of older teachers. Bruce gets spanked as physical punishment by the headmaster, who turns out to be a serial killer, because Bruce glimpses the severed head of his only friend Robert as it happens [flashbacks in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #7 -- Gothic]
Bruce accidentally shoots a duck with a rifle his friend Mooley had brought with them, and the death of the animal becomes a traumatic memory associated with the death of his parents, because of the gun [Batman: Secrets #4]
Bruce's childhood friend, Tommy Elliot... um. I guess I can just list Tommy Elliot, but the most direct traumatic experience at the time must've been having to stop Thomas from killing another kid, after which Thomas was put in a psychiatric institution [flashback in Detective Comics (1937) #837]
Bruce's father hits him while angry about a stock investment, with Bruce declaring in childish rage to his mother afterwards that he wants him dead... on the same day that his parents got gunned down, because Bruce's survivor's guilt needed more ammunition [flashback in Batman (1940) #430]
And then there's the shooting of his parents at the tender age of 8 years old! So all of this is prior to that! Two dead friends, one who avoided him after the unfortunate duck incident, and one friend who had a violent breakdown and got taken away... And Bruce attempted suicide after his parents died too, as told in Batman (2016) #12.

Solo Leveling Mochi Cat
Requested by: @vereimeja
Request: m!y/n gets the "harmless soft boi" treatment from his fans, even though there's proof of him slaughtering an orc with his bare hands. this is mostly because he tends to be quiet, as he's usually too bothered to speak, and because he's short and often wears oversized sweaters for comfort, as he doesn't like tight clothing. someone also somehow got a picture of him being healed by Beru, who is like 8 feet tall (?), which only fueled the fire. If someone were to treat him like that in real life, he'd just,,, stare.
Summary: In which Jinwoo never thought of getting a cat until he met you. 
Or, it just happens that you don’t look like the typical hunter, just the opposite of that actually. 
Pairing: Sung Jinwoo x M! Reader
Note: Thanks for your patience!
Warnings: Lots of fluff :)
★・・・・・・★
Sung Jinwoo met and saw a lot of hunters in action. 
Even now, when all he sees is S-Class hunters, he could match the face to their power quite easily as it seems to fit. Same with their name and title, whether notorious or famous, Jinwoo didn’t have any trouble finding them in the crowd. 
Thomas Andre and Liu Zhigang, for example, fit his image of a S-Class hunter quite well. 
That is until he met you, or as others call you, “Mochi Cat”.”
Why? Because you were cute, short, and soft, and Jinwoo thought your fans must be crazy. Some of your fans even included some of the S-Class hunters. 
Perhaps you were more of an idol than a hunter. 
But he had to admit though, your photos were kinda cute. Just kinda.
It was during the Jeju Island S-Rank Gate mission, where he gathered with the Korean and Japanese hunters, was when he first saw you. 
At first, his impression of you was akin to those of everyone else, mediocre and quite frankly, disappointing. 
You were short, and wore an oversized sweater as if you were a student that woke up from their tutoring class. You looked like a middle school boy who had not grown up. 
With your nonchalant and silent attitude despite the provocations from the Japanese team, Jinwoo believed that you did not care. 
Until you were forced to. 
In a face off, he watched you immediately crush your enemy with pure destructive power. Without using any weapons, you smashed their heads to the ground, successfully KO’ed them without any warning. He must admit, he didn’t expect the image of you standing above two of your enemies while sucking on a lollipop. 
Then, he saw you snap your head around and send him a look. 
Ah, it looks like he was caught. 
You stared for another few seconds before you hopped off, and wiped your face with your long, long sleeve, which somehow covered your entire face. 
Yea, Jinwoo could definitely see the cat now.
“Stop staring at me like that, both you and your friends.” Jinwoo blinked when he looked down at you, who sent him an annoyed look, before walking (floating) away. 
Your words took a moment to process, and he immediately snapped around and tried to reach you, but you were already hidden in the center of all the other tall hunters, preventing him from reaching you. 
For the next few rounds, Jinwoo wanted to get your attention, but it seems like only his match interested you. Other than that, you had the same bored expression on your face, even when you had someone talking to you.
“Hey, (Y/N) right?” You purposely turn slowly to meet him (and was that a disgusted look?), and Jinwoo extends a hand for you to shake.
“My name is Sung Jinwoo.” You shake his hand hesitantly, before nodding. 
“Would you like to eat dinner together-”
“No.” Without another thought, you rejected the offer, and walked away, leaving him in the dust. 
Ha. 
There’s a first for everything. 
But if you could see his shadows, there must be more to you than he thought. 
Jinwoo is not stalking you. 
He is using his shadows to monitor you, making sure you don’t do anything out of his expectations.
Which oddly enough, is happening. 
Because all he does is see you get surrounded by fans cooing at how cute you are, to you sleeping on rooftops in your oversized hoodies. 
Jinwoo doesn’t understand how you and he could possibly be the same age. 
Did you not hit puberty? 
“Why are you following me?” Jinwoo felt his lips twitch up in amusement when one of your eyes pop open in annoyance and glare at him. 
“I’m curious.” 
“Don’t.” Before you get up and cross your arms. 
Jinwoo finally see the reason why you have so many fans, because everything you do look cute and childish, due to your outfit choices and nonchalant personality. 
What he also found out was how much you hated that kind of attention, but didn’t want to take the initiative to fix it, creating this infinite loop. 
“You’re injured, but you don’t treat it.” No response, just stares. 
“Beru. Come out.” Even when Beru comes out of the shadow, nothing changes, if anything, you become more vigilant. It made Jinwoo more curious as to how you got your powers and what is making you act this way,
“Beru can heal you.”
Without any response, Jinwoo took it as a sign of acceptance, so when he approached you, he resisted the urge to pat you on the head like he would do to his little sister. 
Within a few seconds, the blood was gone, and he received a nod in thanks. 
“What do you want.” 
Very blunt and curt, something Jinwoo doesn’t dislike. But, do you not like to talk to him or something? Did he do something wrong?
Jinwoo chose to push aside the doubt.
“I’m thinking of making a guild, and I want you to join.” There was silence in the air as he awaited your answer. 
“...maybe.” That was enough for Jinwoo. 
Once again, he shook your hand.
Then, he suddenly felt someone watching the two of you, and he turned around, only to see a reporter bowing happily before running away. 
Jinwoo was confused, until the next day, he saw the hunter news. 
It was the tiny you, beside him and the even more gigantic Beru. 
You really looked like a cat in the face of two giants. 
Jinwoo could already imagine the look of disgust on your face, the little scrunch of your nose and eye roll. He could also see you reading the news in the bed, and simply throwing your phone to the wall before going back to bed. 
“Oppa, do you also follow Hunter (Y/N) too? I love him! He's so strong but also so cute!” Jinah shoved her phone in front of him and he saw your fan page. 
“Mochi Cat”
Below were updates and threads, and even galleries with photos of you. 
“Oppa, I saw you were together with him too! Is he really that small compared to you?” 
Jinwoo thought back and with a little chuckle, he patted his little sister’s head. 
“Yea, he is.” 
Maybe he should invite you over sometime, Jinwoo had no doubts that his Mom would treat you like a child too.
That would be fun to watch you struggle and get annoyed.
 
“How does this happen?” 
“Don’t.” You looked completely dead inside when you showed up to the guild office, and sat on the other side of the couch from him.
“You are able to rip an orc and an ant with your bare heads but people think you’re cute when you do that?”
A sharp glare, but Jinwoo couldn’t be scared of you when you just looked like a grumpy cat.
“What if you changed your outfit?” Jinho suggested with stars in his eyes, for the past few days since you’ve joined, he had always tried to get you to change. 
“No.” With a flat rejection, he could only shrink back to his desk and sigh.
“It is one way to change the public opinion.”
“No. They’re uncomfortable.”
Jinwoo sighed, and unconsciously reached over and pat his head. Even when you move away and push his hand aside, he couldn’t help but tease you.
“You know, you might be more popular than me, ‘Mochi Cat’.”
“Shut up.” 
“Can we adopt him Mom?” 
“Only if he agrees-”
“No.” 
“But oppa! I wanted a cat before and-”
“Jinah, let’s listen to ‘Mochi Cat’.”
“Shut up.”
JInwoo laughed, why get a cat when you can get a cat in a person?
"You should meow for your fans."
Jinwoo could never forget the look of horror on your face, followed by a look of disgust.
"Is that what you're into?"
Jinwoo chose to only gave a little smile, and instead pat your head.
"Of course not."
"Then wipe that smirk off."
"Sure sure..."
"Sung Jinwoo..."
"Oh, scary."
Jinwoo's cheek had a red imprint for the rest of the day, giving everyone else a field day for pissing off the one and only, "Mochi Cat".

Picturing Martha and Thomas- especially Thomas- as shallow aristocrats who just don't quite understand everything that Bruce has become. Why he has so endeavored to stopping crime, to adopting children, to throwing all that he is to "fix" Gotham. Their idea of activism is typical- galas and programs that can be deductible on taxes. Not whatever Bruce has gotten mixed up with, with no sleep, saving people they don't see as valuable like addicts and people who 'got themselves into their own mess" with familial cycles. and they REALLY just don't understand his children at all. (this applies more to Thomas overall, because of some depictions in the comics. I should really just write my own story but I LOVE the idea that Bruce has glorified his parents much, and thought that his goodness came from them, when it really came from himself.)
*resists the urge to write this fic too* oh my god what if they're only good in his memory. what if he and everyone else idolized them because they were dead. what if they were flawed and sometimes selfish and don't want to help Gotham like Bruce does. what if Bruce has to reconcile his mission with their current beliefs. what if they don't like his kids? WHAT IF THEY DON'T LIKE HIS KIDS??

Just a Reminder
Thomas groaned as he took a seat on the subway, noticing a voicemail from his stepdad. He simply could not bear this new man in his mother’s life. The guy was a total dick. Obsessed with everything traditionally masculine and staunchly against anything that was not. He constantly bombarded Thomas with pointed remarks. Art lectures were supposedly hosted by exploitative shirkers, a generalized business degree with financial experience was much more reliable. After-work bourbon and golfing were much more respectable than hitting up the “boy bars” his stepdad assumed he frequented (which unfortunately was correct). 
Worst of all was that the pair shared a name. Upon this horrifying discovery, Thomas had insisted to only go by Thomas, countering any chance of him to be further associated with his stepdad, Tom. Thomas liked pop divas because of their music, Tom thought they were hot. Thomas worked at an art gallery because his smaller body kept him out of sports, Tom was employed through the Financial District with mornings spent on the greens and afternoons spent on the court. 
With a sigh, Thomas dropped his brightly-colored backpack onto the floor and tightened his ponytail. He was still in his dirty paint clothes, so he was hoping that his stepdad’s voicemail did not require anything from him as he wanted nothing more than to go home and wash up. Thomas pushed play. The message started with a few seconds of ambient build-up, but it quickly became disastrous. A cacophony of violent melodies pierced into Thomas’s mind like electric hooks, paralyzing him before he could fight back. His stepdad's voice softly entered above all the racket, looping multiple lines over like a tantalizing, brainwashing choir.
Trust your father. Respect your father. Your father is always right. Your father’s words are truth. Your father’s words are reality. Your father is always right. You are your father’s creation. You are your father’s imitation. Your father is always right. Masculinity is what your father exudes. Masculinity is what your father expects. Your father is always right. You desire to honor your father. You desire to emulate your father. Your father is always right. Your father is always right. Your Father Is Always Right.
“Hey son, this is just a reminder about our dinner at the country club this evening. Your mother and I are excited to hear about your new prospects at the investment firm. I’ve invited my secretary, Claire, to join us as well.”
Tommy dumbly smiled, casually fondling the chubby in his expensive trousers before deleting the voicemail from his father. He simply could not wait to have dinner with his mother’s new husband, who appropriately insisted to not be called anything but "father." The pair were so alike after all, it only seemed right for Tom to be referred to as such.
Tom was the epitome of an alpha male. He held tight to what was traditionally masculine, fighting against all that was not. And it became obvious early on that this was the man Tommy wanted to follow. He attended the same undergrad as Tom, played the same sports as Tom, and was now crafting a career similar to Tom’s. Tommy aspired to be a copy of his father, albeit 25 years younger. They shared a dominating height, tight-yet-toned muscular frames, pronounced brow-lines and well-maintained beards. According to their tailor, even their measurements were nearly identical. 
Best of all was that the pair already shared a name. Upon this wondrous discovery, Tommy had insisted to be called as such, shortening to the nickname to respect his idol. And now, coming home from a long day in the office, Tommy was thrilled to spend the evening with his parents. He was thankful he was already appropriately dressed; his tailored suit properly displaying everything from the strapping chest down to his large, powerful feet.
Running a hand through his tightly-managed permed-fringe, Tommy navigated around his phone to his messages. He quickly texted his father back, thanking him for the reminder and for inviting his secretary. The back of Tommy's heel tapped rambunctiously beside his designer satchel, his thick cock already throbbing at the thought of reentering Claire's wet pussy while she begged for his seed. Tommy could not wait; his father was the best!

The Digital Corpse
I always read about what school shooters or wannabe assassins have to say. I read or at least skim through manifestos, most of which are really poorly written and usually just have badly misunderstood ideas that are copy-pasted from diverse places. I read social media posts and discord logs, where available. Some of this is morbid fascination that I don't endorse, but some of it is the impulse to understand how and why a thing like this happened.
So I've been following the news on Trump's would-be assassin, and to all appearances he was just a kid who was bullied at school and didn't have a lot of hobbies, skills, talents, or friends. He wanted power and control and had no way to get it, and I think there's something to the notion that a lot of white men think that their whiteness or maleness means they're owed something. When Trump came to town, it was opportunity falling into his lap. If you're 20 years old and feeling like the world cares nothing for you, then yeah, I can see why you'd take your shot. It's a way of being famous, of going out with a bang, and young men often feel invincible anyway. The shocking thing is that it almost worked, and that seems to be down to incompetence and complacency.
But if it had worked, and they hadn't immediately shot him to death, he'd have gotten all the worst parts of fame (in addition to what would probably be life in prison). In death he's got intense scrutiny of everything he's ever posted online. There are reports about how sad and lonely he was. If he'd succeeded, maybe there would be some on the left who would idolize him, but as it stands ... I can imagine wanting to be megafamous, but I cannot imagine wanting it to be like this. It was almost certainly different in his imagination though, a grand moment that would give meaning to his life and demonstrate that he did, in fact, have power.
And of course the whole thing will be forgotten in a week or two. A year from now you'll say the name "Thomas Crooks" and people will say "huh, that ... do I know that name?"
On the other side of things, there's Corey Comperatore. He was the other person to die that day, just a random guy who had attended a Trump rally and got hit by a bullet because from one specific angle he was standing behind Trump. If Thomas Crooks left almost nothing behind to make sense of his life, Corey Comperatore left behind what feels like a lot. The fame is more double-edged. He's lauded as a hero by some, even if the only thing he did was catch a stray. Generously, that's a way of making sense of things: just like it's not enough for Crooks to be alienated and dejected, it's not enough for Comperatore to just be someone who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But Corey Comperatore is also having his life torn open, or at least the parts of it that he put online. Posting online was something he probably did without thinking too much about it. The worst one, for me, was him saying that the Palestinians would "get over it" like the Japanese did. It's something I think about a lot in the social media age, the picture that people would get if they went looking through all our posts, if they were trying to make a picture of you from the things you've left behind. If you died in a very public way, what's the worst post you've ever made? What would people find ironic? But of course you don't need to die, we're in an era where anyone can get flash famous by random happenstance. And of course in the modern day we want the delicious little morsels, the worst thing you've ever said, the most ironic, most iconic, most infuriating sound bite that can represent a whole person. Anything more anodyne is pointless, even if that's the bulk of someone's life.
I'm probably a little unusual in terms of digital fingerprints. I'm active on discords, I've written some four million words of fiction, and my reddit comment karma is in the six figure range, which probably means that I've got something like fifty thousand comments. I talk a lot. But I do think about being torn apart like that, what would happen if I were famous for a day before the news cycle moved on, if there were hundreds or thousands of people trying to make sense of me.
When I die, if anyone has reason to go snooping through my history, I hope there's a good-looking corpse.

I think my favorite thing about Childe is that he is defined by how much other people hate him.
Party rock with me for a minute
Genshin's a pretty lighthearted game. The vast majority of characters like the Traveler, and by extension you. Nobody playable has died yet. For the most part, characters get along. The biggest exceptions are Wanderer (who has his soft moments) and Yae Miko, whose torment of Gorou and Thoma is usually played off for laughs. (Should it be? I don't really think so but that's not the point I'm tryna make here. It's intended to be funny.)
And then there's Childe. The other Harbingers have obvious contempt for him at best and outright hostility at worst. While he clearly respects and idolizes the Traveler, their attitude towards him is more along the lines of "What are you doing here you motherfucker."
Yeah, Yoimiya and Xinyan like him, but they got to know him outside of work in a way. All of Liyue hates him, for good reason. Zhongli probably cares about him on some level but Childe's too pissed off to accept it. His parents are afraid of him.
The only people that have unwaveringly positive opinions of him are his subordinates, who do not know him well, and his little siblings, who he lies to. None of them know him, not really.
Can you imagine what that's like? To break and build yourself into what you thought would be a hero, into the perfect weapon, to get everything you ever thought you wanted, and everyone that matters hates you for it?

celebrity!fav getting a crush on foreign idol!reader is so cute to me.
celebrity!fav is a fellow musician, actor, athlete or whatever. either way he so popular globally but mainly japan.
celebrity!fav finds or gets shown some song by an artist overseas and it's in his head for weeks. it's such a catchy song it draws him into the entire album and eventually you're entire discography. so he spends weeks learning about you and stalking your socials. it's not like he's unfamiliar with your name but he's never found your music to suit his usual taste.
celebrity!fav stalks your socials accidentally, very pleased to see you follow him on your main. he follows you on an alternate account for everything. his official page keeps its following to a minimum and it would be embarrassing to be caught. he likes all your pictures, especially your relaxed selfies. he lies in his bed admiring your beauty before he has to get out for his own day.
celebrity!fav is absolutely estatic when scrolling on twitter and sees your announcement: a world tour. so he excitedly scrolls through dates and cities. in three months from now you'd spend almost an entire week in japan performing at three of its largest venues. he could attend every single one and afford its premium packages. you'd first arrive in tokyo, then osaka, then finish in nagoya.
celebrity!fav is calling his manager to clear his schedule for that week with no exceptions. you had his full attention for that time. he didn't wanna worry about a photoshoot, rehearsal, practice or whatever. whatever it was could wait until he returned. he didn't care that his manager immediately protested when had he hung up the phone.
celebrity!fav arrives to night one of your tokyo shows. unfortunately, he wasn't as close as he would like to be but he was still seeing you live. he purchased seats a little high but close enough to see your pretty face. he sat in an aisle with one security member next to him (only because his manager was insistent on bringing one). as the concert keeps nearing its start, he decides to post a picture of the stage with a favorite song.
celebrity!fav who gets put on the jumbotron between songs. he mentally curses for being noticed but really doesn't mind. he waves to the audience but hopes to keep it brief. he finds it amusing how they searched for him and successfully found him so he humors it. the big screen flashes the word "dance!!" so he stands and laughs it off. when he sits, it finally switches to a different audience member.
celebrity!fav gets a notification from instagram during intermission to see you liked his story and his heart drops. he grins and goes to follow you back. he opens a video from you of him dancing to your song captioned "so good! you should be my backup dancer!" he responds faster than he thought his fingers could even move. replying, "alongside you is a true dream."
celebrity!fav who spends the rest of intermission silently losing his shit because he's actually flirting with you. before you tell him you're going back onstage, you ask him if he's free tomorrow. it's your first time in tokyo after all so you'd love a guide.
personally imagined as...
satoru gojo (this whole thing was satoru coded), yuuji itadori, aoi todo, toge inumaki
kaedehara kazuha, tartaglia, wriothesley, kaveh, arataki itto, kaeya, thoma
kyojuro rengoku, giyuu tomioka, zenitsu agatsuma, genya shinazugawa
meguru bachira, yoichi isagi, hyoma chigiri, rin itoshi, seishiro nagi
