My dad, brother, and I are notorious for subject hopping since my dad has a short memory, my brother has ADD (Attention-Deficit Disorder), and I have ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Well, yesterday, my brother heard the ice cream truck outside and I thought I did too, until my dad said that we're just hearing stuff (My dad and I have really bad hearing, so I just went "alright"). A minute later, my dad finally starts to hear the music from the ice cream truck and looks out the window. He started pacing through the house since he really wanted some, but 1) it's way too expensive and 2) he had just bought some from Walmart that day. He eventually decided that it wasn't worth the money, since he had bought $140 of milkshakes for all of the neighborhood kids once and vowed never again. Anyway, my brother continues to play FNAF: Security Breach and I watch. But he stops playing, and I look to see that our dad and him have been talking. I ask what they have been talking about since they're arguing, playfully, and neither answer. I do hear my dad say that, "it's a bunch of words that are hard to pronounce," so I say, "Are you two talking about the Bible?" They both say no, they're talking about the abbreviation "ASMR." All three of us try to think of what it stands for, but I'm the first to give up and Google it, and my brother does the same shortly after. We both begin to drop hints to our dad (but we do tell him what the "M" stands for). Eventually he guessed that "ASMR" stands for "Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response," but before that he kept trying to say that the "S" stood for "sexual," "symptom," and "syndrome." I was really yesterday years old when I learnt that "ASMR" is usually used for sexual pleasure (my dad and brother had to explain to me that there's a lot of sexual videos and that's why he kept bringing that stuff up). I was like, "The weirdest thing I have seen is a nun doing 'ASMR,' what the heck are y'all looking at?" And my dad tells me to drop the Bible thing that was brought up earlier and I was like, "But, I'm not even talking about a real nun?" So, I showed them that video of a cosplayer pretending to be a nun that takes care of you during the plague (also it's 1300 lol) that my friend wanted me to watch one time at a sleepover. Then, there's a blur between both of them judging me for popping a small piece of fudge in my mouth since they're so sweet, my brother and I losing it over my dad thinking I called him "butterball" when I really called him "butterguy," and then all of us taking turns arm wrestling with one another (my brother beat me for the first time at it).

your yan!noritoshi is so wisnwonwpwjw RAAAHHHH going absolutely feral ... i want him . ive had so many thoughts abt him as like a yandere n then i saw your art n absolutely lost it /pos

IM ALL EARS, BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

GOD FUCK OKAY, HOLD ON, I ALSO HAVE SOME RAMBLES AND THOUGHTS ABOUT YANDERE NORITOSHI BUT IM GOING TO PUT THEM UNDER THE CUT.

I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR UNLEASHING MY TJOUGHTS OFFICER. IT WAS MY GLORIOUS CULT MEMBER RIGHT HERE.

MERRY OCTOBER YALL

[disclaimer: im not a writer, but I want to get better. think of this as my practice. it ended up being so fucking long, but i swear it's just rambles, not a fic]

[warning for blood under the cut? keep that in mind for future posts]

OKAY LETS GO.

Bro ok so. if I'm not too delusional (yet) and don’t see him as a yandere, then this guy (Noritoshi) is still a strict fuck. he'd put you on the same level of importance as his clan if not a bit higher. but only by a bit. Your relationship would gradually bloom into something meaningful to him that he’d cherish you wholeheartedly. Only then would you grow in importance to Noritoshi significantly. He'd keep his resolve and all those healthy green flags. Because honestly? Noritoshi is just a green flag, he's so sweet..

But let's twist that into a yandere setting. I don't even need to twist too much, Noritoshi as a yandere is way too fitting.

Noritoshi was abandoned by his mother as a child, thereby fueling his lifelong goals to do as she said and bring her back. He didn't even think on his own accord, nor did he try to find a different way, or even follow her! He accepted his fate and made it his mission to accomplish the goal he was given. Despite the intense pressure of his worth being determined by an ability he was born with and the high expectations from the Kamo clan, he perseveres. That is until [spoilers] Noritoshi is exiled by his clan because of some Kenajku shit. All his hard work and future goals were ripped away from him without a second thought in an instant. Noritoshi was always the second thought time and time again, and now left as a man with nothing but the failure of his desired future.

That wasn't even the yandere part, that was all canon, what the fuck.

Yandere Noritoshi is the type to cling to scraps... He reminds me of an obsessive and protective yandere. obsessive about you because you become his everything.. his goal, his will to keep going, the light at the end of the tunnel. he wants all of you, from the best parts of you to your worst. He's also protective, because he cant handle losing yet another person so important to him. He'd rather tear himself apart than lose you.

He also seems mostly self-aware but can overthink to the point of delusion. For example, you pat him on the back and tell him he did a great job on something. He knows it's nothing to dwell on, but why does he feel like there's more to your words? Should he read in between the lines? but there's only one line! From then on, his mind would reel until he landed on a favorable conclusion. You meant that he was the only one who did great. The others paled in comparison in your eyes therefore you must favor Noritoshi in some way.. right?

Since Noritoshi was pretty deprived of any emotional support, you won't even have to try too hard to get his heart thumping. If you were to give him even just a bit more attention and care than the average person, like making sure he's eating alright or remarking that he's paler than usual after restocking his blood bags, he's hooked. He's self-aware enough to realize his blooming fondness for you is one-sided, so he simply admires you. that is, at the start. Note that Noritoshi is still new to these feelings so he's.. awkward. It's really cute.

Though these moments were cute to you, they slowly became horribly blissful to Noritoshi. Poor you, completely unaware of how you're slowly corrupting him in, what he thinks, is the best way possible just by giving him your attention. He thinks you're the last and only person still believing in him, so much so that everything and everyone else slowly becomes minuscule in the grand seam of things. He feels happy around you, like he matters, like he has someone to trust, like he has someone who won't abandon him. Because of this, he sees you as a new goal. A new hope. Failing you is not an option. Disappointing you is not an option. Hell, even a frown from you is unacceptable in his eyes.

Noritoshi tries to cling to you at this point in his own way... He enjoys it when you speak to him, or even sit next to him, so much so that he seeks you out when you're not there. You'd feel eyes boring holes into the back of your head, a sense of being followed, sometimes seeing your shadow accompanied by another, every time you turn around to be surprised by a familiar face. His footsteps are so quiet that you barely notice Noritoshi walking around.

Unfortunately, due to Noritoshi’s inexperience, the only way he knows how to impress people is by being “perfect” a.k.a. his strict, pain in the ass, annoying heir shtick. He would be the type to get on your case, scold, coddle, nitpick, correct you, and practically look like he's trying to bully you when in reality he's trying to hear praise from you for "helping" you. He’s waiting for you to see the affection and adoration behind his nagging, is he not being obvious enough? oh well, at least your eyes are on him for now. When most people in Noritoshi's life have either put him second or flat-out abandoned him, he's satisfied with anything he can get from you. Though he'd prefer praise, the thought of your attention being given to another even for a second makes his stomach feel like it's tying in knots, so he settles for your annoyed tuts and glares.

Of course, after a while, you'd get tired of this and tell him to knock it off. Or some variation of what a decent human being would do like, “Do whatever you want, but don't meddle in people's business.”

You KNOW he's going to be picking that apart in the middle of the night while looking up at the ceiling. What did you mean by that? Do you mean ANYTHING he wants? As long as he doesn’t bother anyone? Were you talking about yourself and everyone in general? Were you talking about someone specific? Did you leave it up for him to decide? Thoughts and questions circle in his head until he twists your words enough into something that he favors again. Ah, you allow him to do whatever he wants so long as he doesn't get in your way. But he wants to be alongside you... Did you mean in your way to the point of annoyance? Noted. From then on, Noritoshi's strictness softened into light nagging and bearable hovering. He'd knock it off completely through gritted teeth and furrowed brows if you threatened him with the silent treatment. He'll slowly start it up again until you begin ignoring him, only then will he get the hint and relax a bit. only until next time, of course.

The intensity of Noritoshi's coddling can fluctuate depending on your actions. (recklessness, obedience, shyness, etc.) it's his love language.

It's a completely different story if someone else decides to nag you as Noritoshi does... If someone scolds you, Noritoshi's on the offense. He's known for his occasional bluntness and sassy remarks, but this time... He's contradicting himself all in an attempt to get the other person to back away. If the one scolding you brings up points Noritoshi used in the past, he firmly denies them all and stands by your side. He'd rather sound hypocritical than let someone else care for you the way he does. Noritoshi stands in front of you, almost guarding you with his body and begins his barrage of deflective comments through his clenched jaw such as “That's not your place to say” “Shut it, they did no wrong.” “You don't know the reason why they did so, leave them alone.” and other things similar to that. Jeez, take your advice Noritoshi.. He’d argue and become antagonistic towards someone scolding you, even if it's exactly what he was about to do.

The same goes for someone who tries to be gentle with you to a lesser degree. It's nice that people see how wonderful you are, but having your smiles and kind words directed at anyone else other than Noritoshi is... Upsetting. The resentment gradually pools in the pit of his stomach and suddenly finds himself impulsively moving towards you and this "friend." He stands in between you and the kind person, trying his best to conceal his sneers. He wants nothing more than to have the third party get swallowed up by the ground or hit by a car, but he keeps his composure. Noritoshi sternly states how he’ll handle everything from then on and gives the third party a glare that's much more hateful than usual… Finally! Noritoshi has you to himself again! All is right in the world once more...

Noritoshi has always been on a very tight rope... Any wrong step and it’s going to snap. The more Noritoshi gets attached to you, the easier it is to convince himself that it's okay to cross certain lines to make sure you're safe with him. Even if that line he’s crossing, includes murder. It'd happen quicker if he caught feelings after the whole incident with the Kamo clan. You'd be the only thing he has left, the only thing he'd cling onto with every fiber of his being, emotionally and sometimes physically.

And like every fairy tale, a problem unconventionally shows itself much to Noritoshi's dismay... Noritoshi is shown to be prideful at times. Because of this, he'd try to conceal his more embarrassing emotions and reactions towards you. He wants to be seen as someone strong you can rely on, a steady pillar to your stability, someone who will do anything you wish at the drop of a hat, but it’s almost impossible to execute when he feels like he's nothing but putty in your hands at the slightest sign of positive reciprocation.

If Noritoshi felt his face heating up because your laugh caught him off guard, he'd turn his head to hide how that simple action made him nearly melt into mush. If your hand brushed against his, he'd quickly swipe it away. Not because he doesn't want to touch you, but because you'd feel how shaky and sweaty his palms got with just a graze. Noritoshi's gaze always lingers on his bow if you ever touch it causing his aim to decline in accuracy significantly.

He mentally curses himself out every time he pulls away from you because he knows he's sending mixed signals. Noritoshi loves you endlessly, but please spare his fragile heart. Your presence overwhelms him like no other, and he's utterly conflicted on how to act. He can handle being by your side like he wants, but the second your 100% focus is on him and only him, he’ll start to squirm under your gaze. Noritoshi wants to impress you! Stop being so mesmerizing for just a second so he can gather his thoughts and not embarrass himself! A-ah, but don't look away!!!

Tl;dr Noritoshi as a yandere is needy and petty as hell, but will explode if he gets an ounce of affection! He’s also! A creepy hopeless romantic who sends you mixed signals!

extremely funny that as the snapcube fandub team’s sense of humor and comedic timing has matured (and their influence has grown) the comedy of the fandubs has converged with the average sonic boom episode

[vv-ispy]

It could also be bc I've thought about the specific ship for. way too long. but another aspect I'm really liking about Kaeven is that because both of them operate off having an Image to hide aspects of them they don't talk about, and both are extremely perceptive when it comes to people, it makes it a lot easier to show more aspects of both characters

i know charles ends up plot-wise mostly being there to give merrick further reason to leave for peru, but i do think he provides an interesting angle on the themes of disability throughout tbs (which i am, by the way, by no means an authority on so maybe take my views with a grain of salt). i mean, he is so very insecure about his own disability, and how it relates to his position as the older of the two brothers. he feels such a need to assert his authority, to make it clear to merrick that he is the one that owns helligan, that he is the one who is in charge and makes decisions about it. and when merrick returns with a disability of his own he doesn't let that act go, and in part that's just because he's kind of a dick, but i'd also think that part of it might how he'd probably not have that much experience around other disabled people whom he views as needing to 'prove himself' to. this, in contrast of course, to bedlam, where the approach to disability is far more 'everyone has their own needs, and everyone gets those needs provided for' because that's a comunity where it's not only considered normal and destigmatized but there also exists the systems and the experience in place to provide for different abilities and conditions. which you know, is probably very different from the disabled experience in 1850's england, and that's reflected pretty heavily in merrick's own reflection upon his own abilities at the beginning of the novel vs. what he ends up seeing in bedlam

Shoutout to Deneir, patron god of authors and artists - he's so hyperfixated on his work he has no idea what's actually happening outside, his speech is overly formal and he keeps trying to be hip with the mortals by using memes and slang (incorrectly); his robes are covered in mystical glyphs that are actually just notes telling him to remember [insert-event-or-information-here]; and if he starts telling a story he literally cannot stop and will go on multiple lengthy tangents because there's so much information and he must infodump.

I like him. 9/10, most relatable Faerûnian deity.

[longing4yesterday]

i feel like i've been incomprehensible as of late. sorry if i don't make sense in my posts, replies, what have you, my anxiety has scrambled my brain so bad that sometimes my sentences don't connect and it comes out like mush. hopefully it'll be sorted out soon </3

[moonstandardtime]

why did i decide to write a feelings fic abt guy who copes with feelings by aggressively avoiding them. slippery bitch

[finnitesimal]

I suck at analyzing stuffs and i just "*points* yeah that thing is good, idk why it's good but it gives me dopamine." so reading your interpretations is such a fun treat!

That's also based sometimes you do just see guys and go NEAT 😊👍

[eightspringdays]

there's a scene in Look Back where Fujino bounces her leg in a very specific way that I think it's very relatable. it reaches a point where you can feel her anxiety through the screen and honestly i felt so seen because I do that a Lot when I'm stressed while writing or working. I loved the character acting they did for this movie.

[nixotinix]

Ok guys. A lot of y'all follow me on here for my Jackson and Holt content. Which I love!! But now I gotta know, and everybody is actually legally required to participate in this poll. I know we shouldn't pit two people who are technically the same person against each other, but I have to know everyone's personal decision:

Do feel free to defend and explain your pick in replies or reblogs. Get your votes in, people, so we can once and for all decide which one comes out on top.

[gojohatemail]

Laios wouldn't judge me or make me feel bad for being excited about things I enjoy.

[parakeetpark]

I could not contain myself and asked my mother if she saw the homoeroticism in ep4 of Midnight Mass

She's so used to me now she just went "yeah definitely" and we started talking about vampires and intimacy and mused again about Anne Rice going back on her extremely gay writing

OH and we talked about that brilliant exchange where Father Paul asks Riley why he came back to the rec centre that night, and you get to see the changes in expression on both of their faces as Riley basically says 'Because you lied to me'. Wonderful stuff. Actors are so skilled at what they do

:PPPPPP [vs atl 8/23]

i did not breathe for like 5 minutes at the end

one day we're gonna talk about the number of highlight assists from dt that are happening Every Game

let's talk today about the 3 highest +/- on the night: Celeste Taylor [8], Natasha Mack [7], and DT [5]

see what happens when the shots fall?

also did you see that we won that game In Regulation because we ReBounded The Ball?

DT holding up the ✌️✌️✌️ like stewie at the gold medal game

Celeste Taylor 9 points in 10 minutes 80% FG [career high points]

We don't talk enough about how consistently good natasha mack is actually. she doesn't shoot a lot but she's at 56% on the season

BG found out how close she was to 800 blocks tonight and decided to try for it [she's one shy now]

speaking of stats, I believe DT has tied Lindsey Whalen for 4th in assists

I could speak on how maybe if all our drives to the net in the 2nd half are getting blocked we should try for some jump shots instead or to go at the basket from the other side. but i will be a good fan and say that they were fouling us and no one was calling it

I think the thing with the offensive rebounding is that because we take a lot of 3s, they are harder to offensively rebound and we are very efficient from 2, so they need to be rebounded less. we don't need to do it a lot but when we need to do it, it becomes an issue

celeste should be playing more, she should be coming in for s*phie, tash, and kah. and should have more time on the court with dt [because I think they play really well together]

there was a moment in the game where the shot missed and the rebound went somewhere and dt bounced it off of an atl player and then out of bounds to get the possession

refs no stopping the game after a basket when someone is on the ground is malpractice esp holding their head [and then no one from atl getting a foul on that when they called a foul on kah for something less but still similar?]

[synthshenanigans]

Im so mad my alarm didn't go off but this song goes so hard im losing my shit. why's he gotta make bangers, let me be normal dammit.
