ryomen sukuna was a skeptic.

point. cut. blank.

anybody who knew him knew it well.

he didn’t believe in ghosts, poltergeists, or any of the things that cry and go bump in the night. there was always a logical explanation for everything and anything that happened outside the realm of normalcy. the world was ruled by physics and chemistry and numbers, and even though he was a florist, sukuna understood and wholeheartedly accepted the beauty of science.

however, there was one teeny, tiny thing that completely – and rather rudely – disregarded all of his beliefs.

and it was only a little dream.

one that he had been having since he was old enough to remember things.

sukuna couldn’t remember if there were before this particular one started, or even if any occurred after it. but he always remembered how he knew it was coming – the way his stomach would churn and lurch, like he was being catapulted from a cannon, free-falling through a black expanse of space and time and stars.

and then, sukuna would land face-first into a field of marshmallow-soft petals, bathed in the light of a pink sunrise.

at first, he didn’t know what sort of flowers had cushioned his fall. it took him quite a number years to even attempt sketching them, using a cheap set of coloring pencils he’d bought with his pocket money. and even, not a single person he showed his scratchings to had any clue at all.

it frustrated him to no end.

sukuna would always end up crumpling his drawings in his little fists and hurling them straight into the bin.

and try again.

and again.

it wasn’t until he was sixteen that he finally found the answer he had been looking for.

sukuna had just gotten a job working part-time at a flower shop after school. at first, the thought of being there was beyond humiliating. his twin brother had relentlessly teased him about it when he found out, which quickly resulted in a flurry of knuckles and fists.

he arrived to his first shift with a sour look and a black eye.

io, the shop owner at the time, gave him a humorous look with soft, chocolate eyes and taught him how to speak the language that only flowers knew. how to listen to the soft poetry held within the curl of their leaves and petals, telling you everything they needed to bloom.

in time, sukuna learned to enjoy it.

but he would never admit it to anyone.

one day, the shop received a rather large delivery of frighteningly familiar baby pink flowers. sukuna froze, his hands slippery and wet from the water droplets falling from the stems.

“what are those?” he’d gritted out, disbelief coated on his cracked lips.

io took one glance at the flowers in his grip, and answered, “oh, they’re zinnia flowers.”

zinnia flowers.

he whispered under his breath, testing how the letters rolled over and under his tongue.

after all this time, the answer to the mystery flower was finally in his palm, and sukuna couldn’t decide whether or not he felt relieved or disturbed about it.

all he could muster in response was, “right.”

io stared at him, and a young sukuna felt himself shrink a little under her gaze, his cheeks blossoming a brilliant red shade like the david austin roses beside him. he pretended to ignore her, distracting himself by placing bunches of flowers into water buckets and slowly, meticulously, arranging every single stem beautifully in the display window.

sukuna hated every second of it.

he felt like every single pink petal on those flowers were mocking him, laughing at him for being so wound up over them.

it was so unbelievably pathetic.

he’d never felt more like a loser in his whole life.

because despite all his beliefs about the supernatural and a higher power, he couldn’t hate those flowers even if he tried to, not really.

because they were hers.

the other person already sitting there in his dreams in an endless field of zinnia blooms.

she wouldn’t notice him straight away, even though sukuna crash-landed in a heap just beside her leg. she was too busy staring up at the clouds painted in strokes and swirls of blushing pink, with the sun bleeding in tones of vibrant peach. all he could notice was how her lips were parted in wonder as she took everything in around her with a wondrous energy.

it was only when he pushed himself up to sit beside her that she finally noticed him.

and laughed.

and it was the most beautiful thing sukuna had ever heard in his life.

it was joyously infectious, and he couldn’t help his own laughter from bubbling up from deep within his chest like a volcano. they laughed together for what seemed like hours, the limits of time stretching on forever in the land of dreams, and sukuna felt the angry fire in his soul simmer just a little.

and he would become sad.

because he knew this was when the dream would always end.

he’d open his bloodstained eyes to the dreadfully familiar, dull white ceiling that belonged to his bedroom, and sukuna would know he was back at square one all over again.

feeling alone.

so unbearably alone.

because the dream would still linger in those precious few minutes after he woke up, a ghost hovering over a gray sea. sukuna could feel the other half of his soul slipping away to wherever she belonged to in this vast world, and he would selfishly claw for her, begging and screaming in his mind.

don’t go! don’t go! don’t go!

sukuna wasn’t stupid; he knew she couldn’t stay, but that didn’t stop a bitter taste from spreading over his tongue like a drop of lemon juice.

it twisted him inside, and he hated the universe for making him yearn so deeply for someone he had never even met.

and might never.

it didn’t take long for io to catch on. she was always acutely aware of people, and to be known by her was to always be seen and understood.

“they scare you, don’t they?” io murmured to him gently, too gently for sukuna’s liking. “the zinnias.”

he snorted dismissively, cutting perfect forty-five degree angles into the stems of snow peonies. “i am not afraid of a fucking flower, io.”

she arched a brow, unimpressed. “no?”

“no.”

“are you sure?”

sukuna huffed and rolled his eyes, adding tufts of baby’s breath to the bouquet he was assembling. io leaned over the birch countertop, her wrists adorned with various pink ribbons and a playful twinkle in her eyes.

“i know what it is,” she said in a sing-song voice, drumming her nails against the wood.

he ignored her again, a blooming pink starting to grace the tips of his ears, and busied himself wrapping a brown piece of paper around his finished piece.

“what?”

she didn’t answer, cryptically singing about knowing things and of a man she would know one day come to know, with hair as white as the peonies in sukuna’s bouquet and eyes brighter than bluebells. it was only five years to the day, when io married that very man she had been singing about, that he realized she had known all along what had been on his mind.

and now, at the tender age of twenty-one, ryomen sukuna wondered when it would be his turn to love.

and be loved in return.

���᭢꤬��

when she was a child, she used to love drawing.

and the thing she loved to draw most was him.

the boy she saw in her dreams. they weren’t very good drawings – just two stick figures holding each other’s circles for hands, one with bright fuchsia hair because that was the closest color she had in her pencil kit. they would be standing in a field of flowers too, though the blooms were just colorful blobs scattered around their stick feet.

“not it!” she’d exclaim, pouting pitifully. “not what he looks like!”

her two best friends, kairo and ari, shuffled through their pencil cases, offering her shade after shade of pink pencils, but she shook her head at them each time. after a while, she would start to wail, despair clutching her little heart in its claws. her friends would put their arms around her, offering her all the trinkets and sweets they had in their pockets, just to see her smile again.

but they couldn’t understand how she really felt, how lonely she was sometimes, because they had already completed their souls.

ari had their kenjaku – their kenny.

and kairo had her suguru.

they had found their souls at such a young age and would never know just how much of the rest of the world felt for most, if not all, of their lives. they always had someone to watch over them. even now, the two twin boys were staring at them, gauging whether they would also burst into tears alongside her, ready to step in and make them smile again.

that was all she wanted, really.

for the pink-haired boy in her dreams to make her smile when she needed it.

as she grew that little bit older, her dream became more vivid. she could remember more details – how the sky was aflame in peach and coral, the sweet smell of the flowers beneath her, and how her boy would land next to her. she could even feel how much it was him that needed to smile.

so she laughed.

and laughed and laughed until he did too.

she wished she could stay there in that dream with him and make him laugh forever.

but she couldn’t do that.

in his sadness, there was strength too – something unyielding, strong enough to bring mountains to their knees. it told her to stay strong, to be like him, to keep her chin up and tell the world that she would live.

so she did.

she went on with her life, making sure to laugh often and well.

she grew up witnessing and being surrounded by love. high school and university presented their own challenges, filled with late-night cramming sessions and caffeine-induced hazes. she watched more and more of the friends find their souls, pairing off in effortless harmony while she lingered on in the stardust of their love.

but she still continued to live.

still kept an eye out for a particular head of pink hair wherever she went.

and now that she was done school, entering the big, bad world of work, her heart longed all the more for the boy from her dreams – who no longer looked like a boy at all.

he was a beautiful man now.

with dark tattoos etched into skin, mysterious lines and circles that perhaps told the story of his life. she wanted to know all about them, if they even meant anything to him at all, and if they were a angry shield to protect himself from people getting too close.

she hoped it wasn’t.

she didn’t want to be one of those left locked out.

“you’ll find him,” jess said encouragingly to her one day, as she was lost in a daydream of pink flower fields.

jess always knew when she was there.

she hummed softly, chewing on the plain cheese sandwhich she’d brought for her lunch break.

“so,” jess began, in an effort to distract her. “any nice plans for your time off?”

“uh, yeah actually. my best friend is getting married, so i’ll be helping her out this week to get everything ready.”

“oh, that sounds really nice!”

then, nanami kento walked into the staff room, his tired eyes brightening at the sight of jess sitting there, happily munching on the lunch he had no doubt prepared for her that morning. her friend sighed wistfully, a fond smile on her face as the blonde man took a seat beside her.

suddenly, there were two and a half souls in the room.

and she couldn’t help but smile, hoping that her time was coming.

it had to be.

❀᭢᜴꤬

“hea, do we have any lilies in the back? i need them.”

sukuna took another quick glance at the behemoth of a man in front of him, who shifted from one foot to the other, his green eyes darting all around the shop.

“urgently.”

“just a sec!”

the shop was silent for a moment, with only the sound of the fan blowing and the soft snip, snip, snip of sukuna trimming zinnia stems. he looked up again at customer, raising an eyebrow at how nervous the poor man looked while waiting.

“we have these white roses here,” sukuna suggested, pointing with his scissors at a small bunch. “in case we don’t have any white lilies.”

the man shook his head. “no, no. they have to be lilies. her name is lily.”

sukuna might have once laughed, but it was the way the man said her name with a hushed sort of reverence – and the tip of a velvet box peeping out from his trousers – that he understood who she really was to him.

so sukuna didn’t laugh.

“it’s really important,” he added, dark locks sticking to his forehead, as if that alone would convince the grumpy florist.

sukuna sighed, setting down his scissors and wiping his hands on his shirt. “i’ll see what i can do for you.”

so he went to the back himself, assembling a bouquet of white lilies, adding white pampas grass for flair and eucalyptus for softness. sukuna spent quite a bit of time on it – more than he probably should have – fluffing and adjusting every petal and leaf until it was absolutely perfect.

it was worth the effort.

the man’s palpable relief was infectious, making the corner of sukuna’s lips twitch upwards.

“keep your money,” he grunted, his nose slightly turned up. “just come back here to get what you need for the wedding.”

the bell at the front door tinkled in farewell as the man left, and sukuna picked up where he left off. there was a bridal party order for tomorrow, and of course, he was in charge of creating the bride’s bouquet.

sukuna always was.

“hea!” he called out. “if you need a hand with the bridesmaids’ bouquets let me know. i’m almost done here.”

the doorbell tinkled.

but he wasn’t looking up.

“i’m good!” hea answered back, her voice faint.

sukuna clicked his tongue disapprovingly, not liking the shade of ribbon he was holding against the peach-colored zinnia in the bouquet. he dipped down behind the counter, arms stretched above him and fingers drumming on the wood as he scanned through the mess of ribbons and other decorations tucked away in small cubicles.

hmph! nothing.

sukuna pushed himself back up.

and there she was.

staring at all the shades of pretty pink zinnias that sukuna had painstakingly displayed the day before.

his heart actually stuttered.

and before he knew it, he had somehow slipped and landed face down on the ground.

“fuck!”

“oh!”

sukuna pushed himself back up, stumbling like a newborn foal, his eyes completely and utterly fixed on her while a poor zinnia lay crushed beneath his foot.

but that didn’t matter in the slightest.

because holy good god, she was looking at him too.

with her pretty lips parted in shock, and her pretty eyes wide and glossy, and her pretty hair looking exactly like it did in his – no, their – dream.

she’s here. she’s here. she’s here.

“i’m here for the bridal flowers for kairo!” she blurted out suddenly.

sukuna inhaled sharply.

what a pretty voice.

“t-that’s– ahem – not due until tomorrow,” he whispered, almost inaudibly.

her eyes widened a fraction more, if that was even possible. then, her features completely relaxed as she tipped her head back and laughed.

and laughed.

sukuna felt like he was back in his dream again.

only it was real this time – more real than anything.

he chuckled lowly, his laughter rising like helium, melding with hers in a gloriously wonderful crescendo.

and all sukuna could think of was.

finally.

i love you, i love you, i love you.

[kimbapisnotsushi]

sou !! hello !! this is also random and specific but i saw the datekou headcanon post and i was wondering. might you have any inarizaki road trip hcs?

i didn't until you asked me so LET'S GO

oh god you thought dateko was bad??? they were only stuck in the car for thirty minutes at MOST

(or something idk i haven't quite mapped out their geography yet but miyagi is a coastal prefecture and sendai isn't like SUPER far inland, so i'm just making assumptions out here)

but anyways. kurosu is driving obviously as much as he moans and groans about it

shoutout to the coaches btw they are CARRYING these headcanons

realistically i guess they'd road trip to another school for a training camp or like idk. maybe hot springs for some r&r bc inarizaki def has the budget for it but in my heart they road trip to suna's hometown during one of the breaks so suna can see his family <333

i guess it also kind of depends on WHERE in hyogo and aichi they are but we could get a solid 4-5 hours of driving if it was from, say, asago to tahara

kita makes a list of all the snacks everyone wants and rounds up aran, oomimi, and akagi to help him raid the market/convenience store like the old hunter-gatherer days

they end up with two massive tote bags of drinks, chips, cookies, and other miscellaneous snacks and one cooler for things like puddings and cakes and whatnot

oomimi sits shotgun because kurosu needed someone to help with directions and everyone else was on "make sure the miyas don't kill each other before we get there" duty

they all thought that kita was brilliant for making atsumu sit in the back and osamu up front because even tho they're separated the twins will NOT stop bickering and trying to throw random pieces of trash at each other. poor riseki gets caught in the crossfire the most often

they all converged to make one giant road trip playlist so you've got the weirdest mix of pop rock/bubblegum/k-pop/city pop, lofi, indie soft rock, show tunes and soundtracks, and more

(i named those genres with certain charas in mind so like. have fun figuring that out!)

nobody's willing to take a nap in fear of what the twins might do to each other when they're not looking

they play really stupid games like the alphabet-chain game and i spy and even try for a few rounds of truth or dare because, hey, there's nothing like being stuck in a car with your fellow teenagers for four hours to set the mood for emotionally vulnerable bonding time, right?

anyways. everyone learns that gin is afraid of heights and all sorts of horror movies, akagi would like to get his ears pierced some day, kosaku got rejected in middle school in front of his entire class and has refused to fall in love since, and suna takes pictures to capture the memory of a place he does not want to forget

(sorry i'm being emo about suna missing home again i'll stop)

kurosu is sweating BUCKETS in the front seat btw. "oh my god what do i do with this information am i supposed to talk to them i'm their TEACHER i'm supposed to guide them i do NOT get paid enough for this - "

a shame, really, considering inarizaki could definitely afford to give that man a raise

it's okay they get some really funny dares like daring gin to text his crush a totally random and weird question

(and thank god atsumu has his phone tucked away in his bag)

there's not a whole lot of dares they can do in the car tbh so they get really creative like daring osamu to eat this absolutely evil concoction of mixing tiramisu pudding into a bag of spicy chips and eating the whole thing

he does. nobody knows how he survived it

and then riseki dared both osamu AND atsumu to shut up and sit down and not even so much as GLANCE each other for the rest of the trip

this was at, like, the 1.5 hour mark btw

and okay he didn't say it EXACTLY like that because riseki is a sweet respectful underclassman but that WAS the closest to snapping he's ever gotten

they do stop occasionally here and there to get out and stretch their legs, but this makes their trip even longer bc it takes like thirty minutes each time to wrangle everyone and get them back in the van

also akagi is trying out his most terrible pickup lines. or antipickup lines. either one works

akagi: "are you lactose? because i can't tolerate you ;)" aran: "PLEASE, MAKE HIM STOP"

the only reason aran feels like he isn't completely suffering is because gin is sitting next to him and gin is kind of soothing like a cute pet would be. not that aran is thinking of gin as a pet nooooo ahahaha that would be weird

meanwhile gin is wondering why aran keeps trying to feed him crackers

they finally get to suna's hometown after being on the road for SIX AND A HALF HOURS

and while everyone is happy to be outside soaking up the sun and fresh air, they're all going to miss the bonding of being stuck in a van perhaps just a little bit

it's all right, they've got the return trip to look forward to

(made 100x worse when akagi busts out a drinking game and proclaims they should play with juice boxes, but that's a story for another time)

Work in Progress Whursday

It's very early in the morning as I type this and I feel bad not catching not one but TWO tags (thank you @hannahcbrown and @sylvienerevarine <333) -- better late than never though, right?

We're going for two wips for the price of one! :O

Low pressure tags: you, the reader if you choose! But also more specifically: @gwilin-stay-winnin , @druidx , @dirty-bosmer , and I'm tagging @hannahcbrown and @sylvienerevarine back because more of their writing means a happy Inky >:D

onto the writing! This first one is an interaction I've wanted to write basically since I began the series. though now that I think about this, this is the sequel to honditar teasing reynald....

The way Seed-Neeus was speaking felt pointed in its hesitance; as though she was being careful to filter her judgment of his current state. Though honestly, maybe he deserved this treatment if he was willing to work with bandits. “You look a little bit-- tired-- but it shouldn't be too hard.” Seed-Neeus’s voice went quieter. “I offered this job to Reynald, once.” Guilbert gave her his full attention as she glanced away from him, his brows furrowed in concern. “I apologize if he trashed the store.”  Seed-Neeus sighed and shook her head. “No… he didn’t even take the job to begin with. I don’t know if it was a matter of pride or if he simply had a job I wasn’t aware of but--” What seemed to be a smile creeping onto her face caught Guilbert off guard. “He’s more like you than you think, Guilbert.”  Now he frowned. “Are you calling me prideful?”  “You’re both young. Rootless--” Seed-Neeus would giggle as Guilbert blushed. “...Maybe a little prideful. …The existence of pride is not the problem. It’s when the two of you let your pride overwhelm your greater senses.” “I think,” Guilbert said as he set a box up onto the counter to sort the stock. “I am beginning to understand how Reynald feels when Honditar and I admonish him.”

i don't remember if i posted this one before but have it again if that is the case

"Ogres." Reynald exhaled as he spoke. "It had to be more ogres didn't it?" Guilbert put a hand on his twin's shoulder, patting him with the intent to console. "Ah Reynald, there's not much we can do about that. But at least when we're done we can say it's not ogre for the case of proving our father innocent." A withering look from Reynald was Guilbert's reward for such a lousy joke-- though behind them Miraina was grinning ear to ear and trying not to laugh any harder than a snicker under her breath.

[whichcouldmeannothing]

my sisterly remorse confute mine honour (m4m snippet!)

(this chapter has grown so much bigger than i had planned, so im taking longer for it, sorry! but here! have this snippet <333)

-

‘She’s going to hit you,” he hears from behind him. On reflex, his fingers flex inward, as if he could hide the smouldering cigarette in between them. He turns around and Irene just grins at him. 

They were the closest in age, and thus the tightest growing up. The two years she had on him vanished soon enough once he grew taller than her, and he took on the gruff big brother he was always meant to be. Of course, that hasn’t stopped her from ruffling his hair and pretending like he was still a skinny twelve year-old, but he’s offered to beat up plenty of people for her. He thinks its a fair trade, really.

“Which is why Ma won’t hear anything, won’t she?” She walks up to where he stands in the backyard. He’s at least five inches taller than her, so if he blows smoke right now, he would actually smother her. He doesn’t do that, of course, but. The instinct is there. 

“She won’t, if you give me one.” His eyes widen as he looks down at his sister. She looks up at him, eyebrows furrowed and lips formed into a pout. She extends a hand, and John places one in her palm. He lights it once she’s held it between her two fingers, and she takes a long drag from it after wards. 

For a minute, they stand together in the backyard, the only source of warmth being the fire chasing their lips on the cigarette. 

“When did you start?” He’s heard of twin telepathy, and he gets it, but siblings have a very deformed sense of it. Instinctual things like who should do ditches and who should throw out the trash need no words. But real communication is always the most stilted. Yes, I know how you take your coffee and which pajamas are yours in the wash, but I don’t know why you smoke. 

“Not because of you,” She flicks off some ash. “You’re not that important.”

“I’m the brightest spot in this fuckin’ family,”

“We did just fine without you.”

“You didn’t cry over me?” 

“Knew you’d make it.”  It must be more vulnerable than what she was trying to go for because she takes another pull. She stares at the grass, and her college heels are stark black against the browning green. 

“I started because I went over to my friend’s house. We had a fight, we didn’t talk, and by the time I came around, she’d booked herself off. By the time I went over to her house, she was gone.” Her eyes stare off into the ground.

Like a good brother, he puts a hand around her shoulder. As her brother, he pats it twice. He knows he should comfort her, but he doesn’t know what to do. 

But she does lean on him. She takes a shaky breath. “It got worse when we got your MIA notice.” 

“Sorry,” He’s been saying that a lot lately. He doesn’t think it’ll be ever enough to convey how he feels. 

“Whatever. You’re here now.” She looks up at him.  “And you’re not gonna ditch, are you?” 

“I’ll try not to.” She hums contentedly. 

They continue smoking in silence for a while. It’s peaceful, staring out into the night sky with someone you love right beside you. 

“How ‘bout you?” She asks. “Why’d you start?”

He started because a boy offered him a cigarette once. The boy had looked at him with captivating blue eyes, blonde hair windswept, and the tip of the cigarette still wet from his lips. He took it slow, lingered around the stick until he could choke down the cough shoving up his throat. But he could feel his eyes locked onto him, enraptured and watching John like there would be nothing more captivating in the world. 

“Pretty boy offered me one.” He never talked about it with his sisters. Why would he tell anyone?

But he’s survived a war. He’s ruined enough of his life. He thinks he’s okay with this one detail escaping its cage. 

Her mouth drops open in surprise at his openness, but she takes it in stride. “Lucky you.”

He’s been smoking long enough for Irene to know he’s been smoking, starting when he still lived in Wisconsin. He still bikes when he needs an escape, still kicks and shouts and throws his tantrums. “Jesus, I haven’t changed at all.”

“Yes, you have.” Irene is almost the same way Marge is. They’re both bright, but Marge’s hearth is nothing like his sister’s sparklers. He’s used to how she flashes, and can burn your fingertips. But her voice attempts to comfort him, soft like a blanket. “We all have.”

[indigothemuse]

ok because i’m still thinking about the conversation yesterday, here’s the thing,

as a reader i hate forkle because of what he’s done and most of my rants come from that part of me

but as a writer

while Fintan is a meme to me, and Gisela is…child abusing trash, Forkle is the most interesting out of the three.

i love the fact that there’s a character that is that morally grey who’s on the good side, like it makes the stakes higher, it blurs the lines between good and evil. i don’t want him to be apart of neverseen, it is so much more fun to have the guy who seems to use “for the greater good” to excuse his actions on our side

i mean his motivations, the secret twin who’s now dead, the genetically modification on himself characters like him are normally on the “bad side” and he’s not, it is so interesting

so i guess Forkle is technically one of my favorite characters, but in the opposite way that i like Alina or Juline, i like that he is so messed up, i think he makes the story so much more fun but i never express it i normally get so caught up in the things he’s done that i don’t make it to his motivations which is part of what makes him such a important and interesting character

i realize that wasn’t the exact intention of your essay but it’s made me think about how i portray my opinions on Forkle, and how it sounds like unbridled hatred, when i also admire his character and how it’s written. i will need to mention that more often because that is something i want people to understand.

i love to hate him, but if he wasn’t such an interesting and vital character to the story he wouldn’t be so much fun to hate.

oh my god. thats. thats SO true

like. i might not always like as a person but as a character,,,,,its so good. forkle drives me UP THE WALL for a character. but in a good way!!!!

i want. to pick his brain apart nd see what happens <333

favorite thing about them

[luci-cunt]

heyyyy luci :0 ok i just want to say that your writing is so good mu friend just sent me one of your stories and IM in love so.... 58 and 96?

jsa;lkfkdsa;fljkldsj AHHHHHHHHH I’m gonna EXPLODE I lvoe yousa dflkjaskf;asdlkjaflkdsafklj <333 my whole jal;sdkjasd heart asdifas its dead jaflk;jsjdflkajsd AHHHHH

ok, recomposed, I’m good--mostly--

Ahem-- 58. Accidental Eavesdropping + 96. Scars

k so scars got me thinking andreil but then i got a different idea--

We know that Nicky usually goes with Andrew to his meetings with Bee (at least when he was high/ couldn’t drive)

And Nicky respects his cousins privacy--he really, truly does--but when one day his phone rings and he steps out back to take the call he realizes there’s a window a little off to the side and it’s cracked open just enough that Nicky can hear inside

And really, he can’t help himself--he wants to know what goes on in his cousin’s head and it sometimes helplessly feels like the only people who managed to cram their way in there are Neil and Betsy

So he tells himself he’ll only stay for a second, he hangs up the call and he leans a little closer to the window and he listens

at first he has to stifle a laugh because Andrew is just the biggest asshole and Betsy is acting like it’s completely normal

“There is a trashcan for that Andrew” 

“I have eyes”

“And hands, for throwing trash in the proper receptacle” 

“Well--would you look at that!”

And at first Nicky can’t really tell why it is that Betsy of all people managed to get into Andrew. 

Obviously he knows she did because he knows his cousin 

he listens to them for a while, and then he turns to leave, when suddenly he realizes Betsy has been steering the conversation, and suddenly he hears--

“Are they bothering you?” 

“It’s South Carolina and August Bee” 

“Would you feel comfortable taking them off?” 

“Don’t ask me stupid questions” 

It takes Nicky a moment to realize they’re talking about the armbands

“I’m sure you could find different ones, maybe lighter material--perhaps a color that soaks up less sun?” 

Andrew remains silent

“Does it make you uncomfortable to seek out something like that so actively?” 

The question makes Nicky blink, and he thinks back to when Andrew first started wearing the bands. He remembered taking the twins school shopping--thanking god they were small enough to fit into the cheaper kids section still--and Andrew had vanished as they passed a sports display. He’d returned later, dropping the bands in the cart without saying anything. Nicky hadn’t mentioned it either, but he hadn’t seen Andrew without them since. 

He knew what was under the bands, he’d caught peeks. 

The first time he saw it he called Erik and sobbed over the phone

Thankfully--oh god thankfully--he only saw scars and no new cuts

he’d tried to talk to Andrew about it, but every effort was shut down and eventually he’d stopped prying. 

Now he half expected Andrew to jump across the table and slit Betsy’s throat, but instead he just remained silent. 

“It seems to me that searching out something like that would be admittance that you rely on them, need them” 

“I don’t need them” 

“It’s alright if you do” 

“I don’t need anything” 

“That’s factually untrue, you need to breath, you need to eat, you need to sleep--you need quite a lot” 

“Your interest in slobbering pedantics isn’t appreciated” 

“Your interest in avoiding my question isn’t unnoticed” 

There’s more silence, and then Bee speaks up again. 

“I could look for you” 

“No” 

“Just something to think about” 

“And think I will--on my own time--goodbye Bee” 

And then Nicky realizes Andrew’s session is over and he’s leaving

He panics and rushes back into the lobby, making up an excuse about the bathroom 

Andrew rolls his eyes and they head back to practice

Nicky doesn’t mention he listened in, but a few weeks later--on another stupidly hot day when they’re heading to Columbia, he gives Andrew a pair of lighter armbands--they’re mesh, but still not see-through enough that they hide his scars. 

He makes an excuse about his black ones not going with the rest of his style, and makes a joke about sweaty forearms being unattractive, and is surprised when Andrew actually accepts them (with a glare and insult, but accepts them nonetheless)

And he feels inconceivably warm when Andrew leaves the bathroom wearing them

LET! ANDREW! AND! NICKY! BOND!!!!!!! <333

Send me some prompts (and a ship) and I’ll tell ya how I’d mash em!

[george-fabian-weasley]

whoopsie i sent these out of order oops but congrats on 600! for your event can I please get 👁️👄👁️ for my newest George fic little more time please? Thank you and congrats again!!

OMGG HALEY HIII YES OF COURSE AND THANK YOU SO SO MUCH YOU'RE SO SWEET 🥺🥺

Little Bit More Time by @wand3ringr0s3

Summary: none

There's no summary but I don't mind because there's the Hanahaki!AU sign so I at least have a clue on what I'm diving into! Thank goodness i haven't read this one yet, I was tempted a few days ago HDKJSJDJ i saw the hanahaki and i was like oKAY this is interesting HJDHSHD

It was a subtle change in the way you saw George. Having been best friends with Fred and George for so long you really couldn’t pinpoint when your feelings changed. Truthfully maybe you’ve always seen George differently. 

I like this paragraph; because you truly can't pinpoint when you started liking someone, if we were to view it realistically. Maybe you can, maybe you can't, the universe is a huge mystery.

But you got to see the quiet side of them too. The way they act at home when the fire is barely holding onto its flame and everyone is asleep. How sweet they can be when they see someone is in pain. The insecurities that tend to run deep below their mind. The ones that push them further into their own creations.

Oh damn i love this paragraph so much, idk why it's just so raw and genuine to me and it really just show the other side of the twins when they're with themselves hdjjsjjd i love this

The petals stopped that dream.

oh boy... t-this is going to be painful..... sigh *straps on seatbelt and helmet* here we go

“Oh my god.” Fred quickly leans down to wipe your chin, his face full of pure shock.

oh shit this could be traumatizing for them wHERE IS THIS LEADING IM SO WORRIED BUT SO INTRIGUED

You wanted George to realize those things. He was being his sweet self, how could he know just how much he was hurting you? George was a selfless person. He loves his family and his friends and he’d do anything for them. For you.

IM ALREADY CRYING WHAT IS THIS SORCERY

It was truly cruel. Fred wants more time with you. George does too but Fred feels cheated. If he had more time with you. More time to be by your side and tell funny jokes. He could understand the weird feeling in his stomach when he sees you. He could understand why he felt more nervous around you. He could understand why he loves your laugh so much. But he doesn’t have that time. It’s been stolen from him.

HFISJFIDKD NO WAY NO NO NO YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME DOES HE— NO

“Don’t do this princess.” Fred pleads.

I- wow. You really took that route huh wOW WAY TO GO THERE'S MY HEART BEING THROWN AWAY LIKE A THROW STONE AHAHA LOOK AT EM GO 🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️🤸‍♂️

“Did I get hit in the with a bludger or something? My head is killing me.” George just laughs and pushes him out of the chair.

I had to take a minute just to stare at the wall at this. One question, wHYYYYY hxisjfikd haley you knew this was gon happen ur eVIL FOR THIS

Maybe today, on this bench eating this ice cream. Time will move a bit slower.

Yknow if Hanahaki was real I would've died a long time ago :D And if I didn't, I still would've because the next 2 boys weren't exactly ideal as well JDHSJJDJD seventeen and never had a boyfriend, i could only pray to god to give me a university with lots of eligible and not trash guys sIGH

Overall: As a fellow angst writer, now I know how my readers feel and wow that's not fun at all :D

(not that i will stop writing angst cOUGH)

Literally there's nothing I could comment on except for that bloody brilliant story, I felt like I was watching a movie with an amazing cinematography because your words really helped it grow by time; the emotions i mean. You can feel their feelings and emotions being so raw and genuine, but at the same time it's not lengthy and wow- you're so amazing at this I don't even know why you want ME to review YOUR fic.

10/10 for the angst, 10/10 for the beautiful storytelling, 10/10 would definitely recommend to my mom to see if she cries or not (i'll let yall updated on that ;)) just rEAD IT i swear it has this beautiful sadness vibe around it and i love it so much 🥺 Haley bby you have done such an amazing piece, I'm so happy for youuu <333

JOIN MY SLEEPOVER!

[shrimpkardashian]

I have a list of ~900 albums from 2019 that I still want to eventually listen to / review [IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT ALERT]

For this project (already 125+ releases deep), which is just impossibly daunting and makes me head hurt. IDK how to streamline this process or is any “critic” out there really listening to “all” the good music? It’s impossible I guess... BUT needless to say, these have made this list from an even larger pool of music that I either listened to briefly and immediately dismissed or (gasp!) never even came across my radar (radar = many many music blogs I follow via RSS). 

Anyway, because I’ll most likely never get to this (whatever this is, an Xgau parody or something)... Here is the list (please ignore some of my notations/typos):

Monday Chapters!

Finished Monday chapterss ~~ Boy today was an emotional rollercoaster and I am just so-... Spoilers ahead soo beware if you haven't read todays chapters!

High School Story: Class Act - Chapter 14

Booyyy today was honestly redeeming for the past 2-3 chapters of pure deceptions. I adored everything and I had so many feels, it was quite a r i d e.

So it starts off by the play day arriving. We have some encouraging words for the crew and we kind of go to speak with Skye, Rory and Ajay (he didn't quite apologize but he got me whipped so ill forgive him this time). Everyone is super excited but we realize we didn't get Ajay a present as a director so we of course pay the diamonds to do him a card becouse he deSERves it <333 The scene is cute and then finally the play starts. It all goes great and we kiss Rory (that was a bit meh as I really thought we would have our first kiss before going on stage but whatever, ill let it pass becouse next chapter we confessinggg)... The play is over and we all go see our parents and we find out Rory’s mom came and the money for the treatment was reunited and AHhHH. Danielle also kinda helped by asking the girl our twin used to date (I Honest to god she was so irrelevant and annoying I can't remember her name) to donate her money instead of building ice sculpture so yay redemption arc?. We also find out that although Skye resereved two seats for her parents they didn't come and it broke my heart but Mrs. Silva being the awesome mother she is, took Skye under her wing and it was adorable. We then go home and start preparing for the cast party we will host and the chapter is over.

You can't even begin to imagine how hyped I am for next monday like oUR little baby mc will finally confess and I will even give out all my diamonds if it meant being with Ajay and ahHHHH... The chapter was amazing, I love everyone (except Trevor) and goodnight.

Desire and Decorum Book 2 - Chapter 4

Aghhhh I loved this chapter so much?? All the quality time we got with our gang and my boy Mr. Sinclaire was so amazing??

The chapter starts with us arriving to Grovershire and we see Briar’s mom. We then write a letter to all our friends informing them of the situation and a few days later we find out they all came?? for mc?? and I just love them all so much?? We then play around a bit while showing them the town and we get a diamond option over there but nah... We then go to our old house were we find a letter form our mother and its quite sad. As we exit the house we find mr. Sinclaire <333 and we have the option of a diamond scene to go visit the river bank and of freaking course I took it and it was amazing. We got to be all showy and seeing Mr. Sinclaire flustered is a win win in all the ways possible. As we head back we find a paper crane of the same guy prince thingy trying to rally people to turn against him and be free?? and we just shrug it off but I think maybe the Duke is the one trying to start a turmoil... Anyways the chapter ends with Briars mom telling us that a festival would be tomorrow so be prepared.

I believe next weeks chapter will probably end with lady grandmother or the duke finding us and some consequences would be involve... I dunno... I just wanna be happy with my grumpy and flustered Mr. Sinclaire ;w;

The Heist: Monaco - Chapter 6

In todays chapters we finally got to complete our crew! ahhhh I am so excite of whats to comee!!

The chapter basically starts with our safe-house on flames thanks to Ansel -.-, we get the diamond options to upgrade to this luxurious places but I ain’t wasting my diamonds sooo I got the trashy one.

Anyways, we realize we kind of need to up our acting game, so we are going to find our last member, a grifter. We go see this man going by the name of Peter Graves who is pulling a con acting as a bad actor (if that makes any sense? lol) and although he is kind of a lot pompous he is good at acting and wants to become a Hollywood star. Then we go see this girl named Miranda Moreau who is kind of related to the royalty pulling some cons at a charity event and she is also kind of meh. In the end I choose Peter as he was free but I didn't specifically liked one more than the other, maybe later when we get to know them more lol. We go back to our trash house and Anton (my baby meme lorddd) informs us that its gonna be even harder to infiltrate to the event because of this super security thingy Ansel prepared so yeah that should be fun.

I honestly though Sonia was going to be our last member? Kinda disappointed but its alright, she will definitely turn on Ansel (maybe that depends on the heist points? hmmm...). Anyways here is the picture of my crew and I love them all ~

So thats it for todays chapters and I am very excited for next week, specially High School Story: Class Act which Ill probably write a two thousand words essay on if I finally get to kiss ajay lol I am not even kidding

My Music for August 2022

Dear Tumblr,

Been going 8 months strong, consistently bringing you amazing music that you should check out. Regardless if you read my blog or not this blog is really for me to just self reflect on the music that resonated with me presently in my life. It’s been very therapeutic to dive into the music but most importantly take the lyrics and feel them for what they mean to me. This year has gone by fast but it has definitely been a wild ride. I take with me the lessons and the heartaches that this year brought. I’m starting to feel like myself again. It’s crazy how getting caught up in love in the thrills of romance can do a whole number on you. I guess that's the beauty in it. Anyways here’s the link to my August music as always feel free to check out:

Fanfic Writer’s Year in Review!

I was tagged by @letterblade! <333

The following post will focus stories that I posted in their entirety on AO3 in 2018, and so will not include my X-Men: Evolution WIP Ordinary Town (which I started posting in 2017 and will probably finish this year), or most of the scenes in my Knight and Mage AU (although they total almost 5,000 words, which is Not Too Shabby).

Also, I’m skipping a couple of questions about character and pairing breakdowns.  Spoiler: while I wrote in a few different fandoms last year, I probably wrote more about one character and pairing than all of the others combined.

The stories...

Black Lightning:

Overridden (110 words)

Doctor Who

Three Heads Are Better (180 words)

Gravity Falls:

Like Something From A Dream (635 words)

Only One Step Away (200 words)

Star Wars:

Treading Water (380 words)

Your Own Heart As Signal (500 words)

Light Me Up Again (415 words)

Mark My Words (600 words)

Secrets Silenced By The Shame (515 words)

Thank You For Sharing (310 words)

Fold Your Wings (165 words)

Stranger Things:

Missing Girls (560 words)

Tortall:

And We Are Left Standing (340 words)

Set Alight (400 words)

Wrapped In Darkness (465 words)

To See A Friend Go Down in Flames (1,000 words)

Those Seasons Made Up And Undone (1,815 words)

Moves and Countermoves (1,060 words)

We Were Meant To Be Sparks of Light (335 words)

Dreams Of The Spider (1,135 words)

Merciless Kisses (435 words)

If Your Strife Strikes At Your Sleep (670 words)

Sealed With A Spell (185 words)

The Cold Is Closing In (2,072 words)

In Winter Light (608 words)

Great Minds Together (240 words)

And I Start To Drown (1,895 words)

Only The Finest (185 words)

Captive Listener (240 words)

Flight of Curiosity (535 words)

Out Of The Rain (200 words)

As I Burn Up In Your Presence (2,412 words)

Total Fics: 37 Total Words:  c. 30,000

Specifics…

Best/worst title?

Best title:  Excluding the ones that come from songs (which is many of them)? I’m pretty happy with “Flight of Curiosity” and “Mark My Words,” both of which contain puns/double meanings while also – I think – saying something about the characters or tone of the stories.

Worst title: “In Winter Light” is serviceable, but I think I could have done better, and consequently ended up with one less title that included some variation on the word “light.”

Best/worst first line?

Best first line:  The shape of Arram’s mind is as familiar as the long, lean body that trembles beneath Ozorne’s hands.  (”Great Minds Together”) 

Really, what’s better than a sexy mindmeld between mage boyfriends who will one day be enemies? Nothing, that’s what.

Worst first line:  Alex sometimes feels more than a little bit dazed after talking to his knight-master, and so it takes him a moment to react – a moment that could have cost his life in a fight – when another familiar voice calls his name. (”And I Start To Drown”)

I’ve written a few first lines that tried to establish too much in one go, and that’s definitely one of them.

Best/worst last line?

Best last line: Much later, lying sore and spent in the darkness, Alex still isn’t sure whether he’s been punished or forgiven. (”Merciless Kisses”)

I think that does a good job of conveying something that I hope is apparent throughout my Tortall Trash Fire fics: that Alex almost but doesn’t quite realize how bad Roger is for him.

Worst last line: Alex turns another page, still uneasy, but certain that Roger will know what to do. He always knows. (”Those Seasons Made Up and Undone”)

I’m proud of that story, for the most part, but that line didn’t wrap it up as elegantly as I would have liked.

General questions…

Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?

I can rarely predict these things.  My total number of works is higher than it’s been in past years, but some of those works are really, really tiny.

What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted last year?

Tortall, without question.  I read and reread the Song of the Lioness books when I was younger, but another fan’s incidental comment about Alex motivated me to take another look at them.  And even when I realized how much the implications about his relationship with Roger (which mostly unfolds behind the scenes) pushed all of my buttons, I’m not sure I could have predicted that I’d be writing so much about it.

I am also not a huge fan of Rey/Kylo (though I totally understand why some people are!), so “Thank You For Sharing” was also decidedly unexpected, though I don’t plan to write them doing anything more than fantasizing about each other.

What’s your favorite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest.

Probably “The Cold Is Closing In.”  There’s a lot of unexplored potential in Alex’s relationship with his own squire, and it’s always fun to write a character that understands a lot less than the reader (especially if someone else is manipulating their perceptions).

Okay, NOW your most popular story.

I was bemused to find out that “Secrets Silenced By The Shame” had the most kudos, especially since it was a Dead Dove ficlet written for a kink meme, focusing on the pain and anguish of a character about whom I have very mixed feelings, and I hid it behind an “Anonymous Creator” byline until very recently. Story most underappreciated by the universe?

I would have liked to see “Following Ghosts” get some more love, especially since the Gravity Falls fandom seems pretty fond of Wendy (as well we should be).

I always have a hard time answering this question, and it’s even trickier when thinking about the past year, since my most recent primary fandom is not what I would call a hotbed of activity, at least on AO3.  (They have a message board that is somewhat busier, but I haven’t investigated it much.)

Story that could have been better?

“Set Alight” could have worked better as part of a longer work (I can even guess at which one), but I was still very much testing those fannish waters at that point, so I can sort of understand why I was like, “Throw it at the wall and see if it sticks.”

Sexiest story?

I’m very happy with the third section of “Those Seasons Made Up and Undone,” which I think is Hot Wrong all over the place, but “As I Burn Up In Your Presence” had more sexy (and also Wrong) bits, and I’m pretty happy with those, too.

Saddest story?

Everything about Alex’s downward spiral is saddening to me. “To See a Friend Go Down in Flames” gives an outsider perspective on that spiral, so maybe that one.  “Missing Girls” and “Secrets Silenced by the Shame” are also meant to evoke a lot of pity and horror for the characters, and “Your Own Heart as Signal” is very much about grief, so maybe those.

Most fun?

“Most Likely to Stay Weird” (Waddles for Most Valuable Pig!). Story with single sweetest moment?

Either Kali giving Eleven calming visions in “Missing Girls” or the OT3 snuggles in “Flight of Curiosity.”

Hardest story to write?

I had never tried anything like the structure of “Seen And Not Heard,” and it took a fair amount of trial and error before I figured how to organize the sections and transition between them.

Easiest/most fun story to write?

“Merciless Kisses” (it helped that I had a really good set of prompts), or “Moves and Countermoves” (I often cackle when writing Roger, but probably never more than when he was trying to get under Myles’ skin).

Did any stories shift your perceptions of the characters?

The need for a fifth POV in “To See A Friend Go Down in Flames” gave rise to some very persistent headcanons about Geoffrey, a character who gets little to no canon characterization.  Also, although my Thoughts About Kylo Ren would probably derail this post more than any of us want or need, I sure did write a lot about his feelings last year.

Most overdue story?

“Following Ghosts” and “Seen And Not Heard” are both based on ideas that I’d referenced in previous works and wanted to follow up on ever since.  On the other hand, I’ve wanted to write the exact scenario in “Three Heads Are Better” for roughly a dozen years.

Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?

I think I learned a little bit more about how to set and contextualize a scene from the structure of “Seen And Not Heard,” which was, again, a pretty big risk.

What are your fic writing goals for next year?

The first ones that come to mind are: wrap up this round of H/C Bingo, whip another “You Cannot Save Him With Your Love, Geoffrey” story into shape, and finally finish Ordinary Town.  More or less in that order.

I’ll tag @ellekess and anybody else who wants to do it!

So for the record, I’m excluding “Avatar: The Last Airbender” & (2003) “Teen Titans” shows cause people consider them animes when they’re only anime influenced so they’re out. But, this is SO hard! It’s like picking my children, it just feels impossible to do! Though, if I HAD to pick just one, it would have to be…… ( 2003) Kino’s Journey!

Why? Well, let’s ride right into the world of “Kino’s Journey” or in it’s original title “Kino no Tabi.”

“ The world is not beautiful, there fore it is.”

Let’s start with the story, which tells of the journey of a traveler named Kino and their motorcycle, Hermes, while they visit a long range of countries as they meet different people along the way. The actual fact is: there isn’t one solid story but 12 short stories that link together not by episode order but by events. And yet the fact that each one of this stories manages to give a deeper meaning than the whole plots from many animes amazes me till no end! Kino finds herself in the midst of these societies - some of which have downright appalling practices. Each episode approaches a theme of society, like censoring, violence, communication problems, right or wrong, the ability some people have to bite the hand that just feds them, and so on. And every time I watch each one, I found myself enjoying this series more than I should have.  

As Kino travels throughout the world and becomes acquainted with the people who inhabit it, it becomes clear that each of her encounters is essentially a separate journey into the labyrinth that is the human psyche to explore one of the many elements that make it up. The issues touched upon in the series ranges from the tendencies of humans to blindly believe in prophecies to the consequences of not having a self-conscious.

There is a wide range of characters as expected from an anime that tells about travels all over the world. While some of them are forgettable, some of them also stay in your mind. Although it is clear that neither Kino nor Hermes is the main focus of the series, together they play an essential role in its series. 

In terms of being a likeable character, Kino has become my favorite anime character ever! They inspire me in so many ways and I’m always glued to the screen every time their role comes into play. Although they appear apathetic at first, they’re a caring and understanding person. Kino travels through different countries to experience their customs and understand the citizens, but they never stay longer than three days, as they’re afraid of settling down, and would decrease of being a traveler. They’re also intelligent, skillful, extremely wise for someone so young and still as unpredictable as a teen could be. Though not fond of killing, they will do so if necessary without feeling remorse. Especially, towards those who attack them or the innocent. Kino has truly become one of the most unique characters I’ve ever seen.

Hermes, Kino’s talking motorcycle, acts as the perfect companion to his owner. Not only are his conversations with Kino very enjoyable to listen to due to the his humour, the series also allows for further exploration on his character. I won’t lie that I found it odd that we were suppose to just roll with the fact that he speaks but as the show grows over time, you do learn to accept it and that’s not the most unusual thing you’ll be seeing in the series either. He’s also the closest thing that Kino has to a friend and it just makes their relationship heartwarming a lot of the time. In addition, considering the theme of the series is the nature of humanity, his presence as a non-human makes their discussions even more interesting. You have no idea if he’s truly real or just in Kino’s head. But, whatever the case may be, he’s a fun character to journey with!

The dub is honestly one of the best that I’ve heard and I’m usually REALLY picky when it comes to English audio in anime. It was done at A.D.V films, which are the people responsible for other great dubs like “Princess Tutu”, and they do an AMAZING job!

Kelli Collins voicing Kino was the highlight of the entire dub! Her acting glues you into her role to her character and you’re just amazed of how well she fits the Kino. Especially, giving the young traveler a sense of maturity to such a young teen. It’s a shame she hasn’t been active since then and didn’t return for the reboot of the series. ( Even though it was a disaster so maybe it was for the best. ) Kino’s voice actress succeeds as the perfect person to voice such a outstanding character and how she brings her to life. I honestly can’t even picture anyone else to play the role but her. Hermes on the other hand is a hit or miss with viewers. Cynthia Martinez voicing Hermes comes off with a cartoonish boyish voice who I could definitely see annoying it’s viewers.  But to me? It honestly works! The way Hermes asks certain questions and their responses makes sense that they act childish or ask very out-looking questions of the situations at hand. Not not say he’s immature. He’s actually the voice of reason but, Cynthia shows great promise with the role. And you’ll see why once you go into this series head on.

Overall this series holds a special place in my heart. It doesn’t have that nasty fan service or anything too over the top like a Shōnen show but, it helped me get a better understanding on how humanity works and even thinks at times. In life, we don’t know which path to take but that’s the journey of it. You just get up and travel to find out what’s up ahead for you. To see the world for what it is with all it’s good and bad parts. Kino searches for life’s answers, life’s questions, and the interpretations connected to them. Destination is a state of mind; Drift along for the ride~!

2. worst anime you’ve watched

Oh gawd, this is just torture! Just when I think I can finally be rid of trash like this I have to go back and look in the bin again lmao

Let’s see…. I think I would have to say…. “ Master of Martial Hearts.” Why didn’t I say the famous “School Days?” I could but I wanted to do a different hate this time since this one made me beyond pissed off! “School Days” at least had the main lead get what’s coming to him cause we all know the douche bad deserved what was coming to him so I was fine with the insane out come. But this? HELL NO!

I found this series out by amazing reviewer, JesuOtaku, back when Youtube was starting to get popular and I always agreed with her reviews. I’m SO glad I saw her review first before stumbling upon this nasty series. First, we got under aged girls, and women in general, getting their clothes completely ripped apart as they fight one another cause why not? Screw plot! And it’s just an endless scenes of just wtf??!! I didn’t watch the series but I saw enough of it through her long review. AND…what pissed me off the most is the ending. Dear gawd! THE ENDING! This series only has 5 episodes but once you check out the last one? It deserves two middle fingers straight at it cause F*CK THIS SERIES!! No seriously, don’t even check it cause it’s just horrible. Just awful!! It’s just the worst anime to me and always will be!

    18. favorite villain

This is gonna sound strange but I instantly KNEW who my favorite villain was gonna be and I couldn’t be more ready! When there’s a great hero there’s also a great villain. Out of the horrible characters did I choose? Johan from (2004) “Monster.”

“ There’s nothing special about being born. Not a thing. Most of the universe is just death, nothing more. In this universe of ours, the birth of a new life on some corner of our planet is nothing but a tiny, insignificant flash. Death is a normal thing. So why live? ”

–Johan

The story focuses on Kenzo Tenma, a young Japanese doctor working at the Eisler Memorial Hospital during in Germany the 80′s. He is a very skilled highly brain surgeon. However, Tenma grows increasingly dissatisfied with the political bias of the hospital for treating it’s patients, and seizes his chance to change things after a strange massacre brings the twins Johan and Anna Liebert into his hospital.

Johan has a gunshot wound to the head and Anna keeps muttering about killing. Tenma decides to operate on Johan instead of a politician who arrived afterwards. Johan is saved, but the politician dies. After this Tenma loses his social standing, lost his promotion, basically everything, and not soon after that the twins escape. The top heads of the hospital are found dead the same night the twins escape. Tenma is then promoted to chef of surgeon.

After that the story advances to nine years later. A known criminal is found on the street, hit by a car. He comes under the care of Dr. Tenma, who observes him muttering about a “Monster.” Tenma extends his kindness to that criminal, and thus the criminal begins to open up to his doctor.

Following his trail to the construction site of a half finished building near the hospital, Tenma finds the man. The man, who has developed a sort of doctor-patient friendship with Dr. Tenma, warns him against coming closer, and pleads with him to run away. Tenma refuses, however, and the identity of the man holding the gun pointed at the criminal in the abandoned parking garage is revealed to be the boy whose life Tenma had saved nine years ago - Johan Liebert. Johan shoots the criminal, tells Tenma that he could never kill the man who had saved his life, and then walks off into the night while Tenma is still too shocked to stop him. I’m not gonna spoil anymore to the plot cause it’ll ruin the experience but WOW! What a series!

On the surface, Johan is a well-mannered, charismatic and compassionate young man. He possesses a favorable of traits and can easily overwhelm individuals with his seemingly flawless nature, as others describes him as being not of this world. This makes it easy for him to make new allies and manipulate them into doing various deeds for him. With such skill in creating this facade of perfection and pureness, Johan can hide his true motives with ease.

Johan delivers destruction and suffering to those who happen to fall prey to his schemes. Johan exhibits psychopathic tendencies. For example, most of his murders, both in childhood and adulthood, have been premeditated and calculated.

Johan often shows a complete disregard for life by pointing to his forehead, inviting Dr. Tenma to shoot him.

He also has a tendency to make his victims experience the worst possible loss and suffering rather than actually killing them himself;

Everyone NEEDS to check out “ Monster ” cause it does not disappoint! Even just check out just for it’s villain and the amazing english dub! Trust me, it’ll be one incredible wild ride!

    33. most underrated anime in your opinion

Since I already talked about “ Kino’s Journey” & “ Monster”, I’ll decide another great underrated anime people need to see and that’s “ Princess Tutu.”

“ May those who follow their fate be granted happiness; may those who defy it be granted glory.“ - Miss Edel

In a fairy tale come to life, the clumsy, out-going, and gentle Ahiru (“Duck” in the English Dub) seems like an unlikely protagonist. In reality, Ahiru is just as magical as the talking cats and crocodiles that inhabit her town—for Ahiru really is a duck! Transformed by the mysterious Drosselmeyer into a human girl, Ahiru soon learns the reason for her existence. Using her magical egg-shaped pendant, Ahiru can transform into Princess Tutu—a beautiful and talented ballet dancer whose dances relieve people of the turmoil in their hearts. With her newfound ability, Ahiru accepts the challenge of collecting the lost shards of her prince’s heart, for long ago he had shattered it in order to seal an evil raven away for all eternity.

Princess Tutu is a tale of heroes and their struggle against fate. Their beliefs, their feelings, and ultimately their actions will determine whether this fairy tale can reach its "happily ever after.”

The title may seem off putting to a lot since it sounds like some girly anime but don’t judge a book by it’s cover~! This series has so much going for it and it’s honestly just outstanding! It may be predictable at the beginning ( Had the same trouble with the first season of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” ) but, it becomes something you just never expected; A complex and tragedy story.

You honestly feel for every single one of these characters once their parts are given into play. And the fact that they use real classical music that compliments the dance scenes so well done. You feel the dramatic effect once our main leads come into the spotlight. The intense just rises from the music and for the dubbing too. I said back in my “Kino’s Journey” part of the ask that this was dubbed by A.D.V. Films and it’s one of my favorites ever! It’s not just one or two actors that shine, every single person portrays their characters with flying colors. I was just amazed of how incredibly well done they did!

I could go on and on about the characters but they’re all such a surprise that I rather not spoil it. This is genuinely a heartwarming show to experience for yourself. Classical music, beautifully choreographed dances, and memorable characters make for an experience worth having in all of Princess Tutu’s world. A modern fairy tale for the ages.
