Yeah. At home is different than stores. At home, for myself, I could be either "being a ninja" by climbing the furniture in the house (like when you're in the kitchen). Or use a chair or stool to stand on if I can't even reach. But, at the store, that's a completely different situation. I know that I can't climb in the freezes to get products in case that I may end up stuck in the freezers. Or.. Something like that. So I might need any help someone's willing to give me, not that I ever like asking for help.

Short people problems.

I don't get me started on never finding clothes, shoes, jewelries that's actually able to fit me. So that's definitely discrimination against me.

As someone who favors many short characters.. There's always some comments about their height. And I know that pain, at least I'm angry enough to become violent towards people who comment about mine too. Basically like every short character in existence now that I'd think about it. Seriously! I do like most, if not all, of the shorter characters.

When it comes to women: Saiko (TG) is basically the female animated me. Short, chubby, with the same personality more or less is me if I'm an anime character.. There's Charmy (BC). Both of them are actually a couple inches taller than me. Quite a few women in MHA who happen to be short too. Not sure if Fabiola (BL) counts? I'm neutral about this character, her character, but her age has never officially been said? I'd seen mentions that she's seventeen, but never confirmed or denied.

Hm..

There might be other female characters? But I can't think of now.

But I feel like majority of the short characters are male characters but that could just be me thinking that? And then, there is the males: Hiei (YYH), Feitan (HxH), Ed (FMA), Levi (AOT), amongst more characters that I could list but won't. And I know there are short child characters in anime, but I saw trying to stick with the short adult characters. Oh! And Asta (BC), he's also another character. But I like short characters in general. Maybe some more than others. But that's not that point.

Oh! Wait.. Near (DN). He's another short character. How could I forget him?! I just rewatched Death Note recently. But there's also Near too.

(And this is just the list for some anime characters.)

Anyway!

I might be short.. But if anyone, regardless of height, tries to treat me that way. Like pick me up, carry me around, anything like that then I'd say that they might lose limbs (and maybe their lives) in the process. I can say that I can be violent like Ed Elric when it comes to my height.. If that person is deliberately trying to piss me off. And other times I'm trying not caring about the comments. But it depends on my mood?

omg yes the clothes and accessories! it's so hard to find the right size! but honestly don't even be shy to go in the kids section if you must! and you'll even save some money! i've done it a few times lmao

yeah with (adult) female characters, i can't name much (partly because there's just a lack of adult female characters in many anime. aside from moms lol). there's probably a lot from anime that i don't watch though. fabiola, i think she's a teenager so her height might be more on the average side. but yeah charmy omg she's so cute

ooohh the female characters from dungeon meshi got a nice variety of heights and i think all of them are adults so yay !!

there are definitely more short anime guys !! (but again, partly because there's just more guys in general but let's not unpack that). also it's easier to tell when a guy is supposed to be short because everyone around them are just tall. so when there's a short dude, they reeeeaaally stand out.

levi is probably the most famous one for being a short adult man lmaaoo i haven't watched aot yet but i do love that he's short and snappy (from what i heard). and feitan too! i love him! just like hiei! i love those gremlins omg

and yeah i totally get you! i've gotten picked up by my friends when im not in the mood to joke around and it gets really annoying sometimes. most of the time, i don't really care about it or would laugh along if they're actually funny but there are times when i'm just like 'pls leave me alone 😭'

UU: miss lalonde, do be carefUl.

UU: i can see that yoU are preoccUpied with aggressors at the moment.

UU: bUt yoUr viewport is beginning to black oUt more freqUently.

UU: i wanted to talk to yoU one last time before yoU enter, and yoUr whole session blacks oUt for good.

UU: and before...

UU: well, before i possibly do the same. U_U;

UU: please reply when yoU have the chance.

TG: hi

TG: whats this

TG: about u blacking out for good?

TG: * blapck

TG: * wait no n/m

UU: ah, hello!

UU: escaped troUble, i presUme? how are yoU doing?

TG: i feel kind of like shit but other than that im toters perf

TG: im starting to wonderd if drinkin early today wasnt that coolest idea??

TG: now i have all these responsibitities while my brain is tellin me to go fuck myelf

TG: *self

TG: aint wanna fuck no elf

TG: not in this condition at least

TG: i would probs need some hella strong coffee b4 boning a elf

UU: i am sorry to hear yoU're feeling Under the weather.

UU: bUt now i am wondering. hm.

UU: coUld it have been that regUlar intake of yoUr soporific liqUids was inhibiting yoUr commUnion with the void, rather than exaggerating them as i had presUmed?

UU: if the effects are wearing off, it coUld explain the increase in viewport blackoUts.

UU: and once they wear off completely, perhaps that is why yoUr entire session goes dark on yoUr entry.

TG: that is an interesting theory that has like

TG: mostly no usefull bearing on anything probably?

UU: yoU are probably right. still, i can't help bUt specUlate on sUch matters. it is what i do. :u

TG: yeah

TG: i think i was being a dick byut im not sure? sorry

TG: glarghgle

TG: i am sure feeling liek

TG: a gross bunch of nasty trash in a scarf

TG: all taking my surly shit out

TG: on nice and cute aliems

UU: oh, not to worry. ^u^

TG: heyy

TG: UI

TG: UU*

TG: you know everything right

UU: hee hee! if only.

TG: k well

TG: what is with the looming strandy crap in the sky

TG: the miles> glasses called em that

TG: i know i got to escape them

TG: but what are they actually gonna do?

UU: i do know a thing or two aboUt the red miles.

UU: it is the qUeen's favoUred attack. very long distance and omnidirectional.

UU: bUt once Upon a time, her weapon was stolen by a UsUrper. jacked, yoU coUld say, right off her ring finger. and then given a considerable boost in power.

UU: that gave the miles enoUgh of a kick to rip a Universe to shreds.

UU: and they have been doing so to yoUrs and its many instances for eons.

UU: only now have they caUght Up to yoUr instance. it is qUite fortUnate it has taken so long, really.

UU: some instances are tUcked deeper in the speaker's mighty blow sack, and will hold oUt for mUch longer, on a vast cosmic scale of coUrse.

TG: wait

TG: i dont

TG: what? instances

TG: blowb sack

TG: righ now i can hardly walk w/o steppin on my moms scarf ok

TG: so theyre destorying the universe is that the bootom line

UU: yes.

UU: try to think of it like this.

UU: imagine that the Universe is contained inside a very large creatUre.

UU: say, a great big frog.

TG: frog

TG: why a frog thats so silly

UU: it's jUst a frog! that is the way it is, jUst try to imagine it.

TG: k

TG: picturin

TG: big ol space frog

TG: all ribbiting loud an being huge

TG: hehehe

UU: now imagine that not only does the Universe exist inside it, depending on the creatUre's health and well being to sUrvive...

UU: bUt every potential instance of that Universe exists inside as well.

UU: those that are doomed and those with promise.

UU: even those that were reset from scratch, with slightly different starting conditions.

UU: all of those interrelated Universes mingling together inside yoUr frog, inextricable from its physiology.

UU: if the frog dies, they all go with it. eventUally.

TG: then you are saying some rude a-hole is killin our frog

UU: sadly, yes.

TG: wow

TG: that is

TG: just....

TG: the WORST

UU: well, it coUld have been worse, actUally. the miles coUld have spread to yoUr Universe before it had the chance to sproUt yoUr lovely planet, providing a home for yoU and yoUr wonderfUl mates.

UU: all Universes die at some point. some sooner than others. it is all part of the cycle, and sometimes things like this mUst happen for reasons beyond oUr Understanding.

UU: bUt this is neither here nor there. i did not intend to go blathering aboUt all that and waste an important conversation with yoU.

UU: i think the trUth is i am probably jUst stalling.

TG: stalling what

UU: i have some important things to tell yoU.

UU: i'm afraid i am going to be breaking so many rUles in doing so.

UU: i am not Used to breaking rUles. it makes me very Uncomfortable.

UU: bUt it may be my only chance. i hope yoU won't think less of me for it.

TG: no way

TG: i dont even know what rules ur talking about

TG: time shit rules

TG: if its time shit rules idgaf about those

TG: and m not goinna stop thinking youre great if u "break" them

TG: are you in trouble?

UU: yes.

UU: bUt so are yoU, and i've distracted yoU enoUgh.

UU: concentrate on retUrning to yoUr home.

UU: once yoU are there and preparing for the game, i will contact yoU again and tell yoU everything that i have been wanting to tell yoU.

UU: also...

UU: i wanted to give yoU something. :u

TG: hoh man

TG: what is it!

UU: jUst a thing!

UU: yoU'll see.

UU: now rUn along!!!!!!!!!!!

[gust-jar-simulator]

I decided to have the heroes from Tool Gods do a little meet-cute (read: scare the crap out of eachother). I may or may not continue this one, depends.

First victim is Wake.

Characters: Wake (TG, Hero of Winds), Smithy (TG, Hero of the Minish)

Prompt: Ghost summoning

°🌚🌊🪙🌊🌚°

Link had never exactly tried calling a ghost, but there was a first time for everything.

See, he had a plan. Where did ghosts go? The sea, obviously, with all the rest of the dead. Any ghosts from before the flood would definitely be under the sea. Probably. So that's a location settled.

Everyone knew that if you were waiting for someone to come home, you left a light on or put a candle in the window to guide them back. And when it came to gods and spirits, people usually left out food. It's just rude to invite someone over and not offer refreshments. So he'd grabbed his favorite ship's lantern and a bottle of soup off the hearth, because obviously for the best luck with this sort of thing the offerings had to be the best quality. No way could it not work with Grandma's soup involved, he could probably summon Hylia Herself with this stuff.

Then, to really get the point across, he'd need something that belonged to the ghost. Considering his heirloom shield and the Master Sword were both carried by the hero before him, he had that covered.

He'd never paid a lot of attention at festivals, and it wasn't like any of the temples he'd seen were actual temple temples, with priests and such, so he really was winging it here. But all real magic he'd known involved music, something strong and calling that would reach out and shape the wind. So. A song, then, to round it all out. Something for the sea to carry and the ghost to follow home.

Link took a deep breath, shoved the lantern a little more securely into a sand bank, and gave the soup bottle a pat. The full moon cast a silver path over the inky expanse of the sea, phantom stepping-stones shimmering all the way to the dark horizon. Salt, sand, the chill off the waves. Nothing for it but to start, really.

He ran a finger over the Wind Waker's bleached-bone wood, cleared his throat, and tried.

"Uh..." No, no, be confident. "Hi. My name's Link."

The night wind curled lightly through the sand, teased at his hair, and he huffed a laugh.

"I dunno the fancy shit for calling ghosts, so I'll say it like it is: for an long as anyone can remember, kids have worn green when they come of age to look like the Hero before me. And now the hero's me. Nobody gets it, and nobody's going to, so I want to talk to the guy who came before me. Just... ask him what it was like. If he gets it. If he was excited, or scared, if he had a sister, what he did after all the..." He shoved a hand roughly through his hair, flailed the Wind Waker in a hopeless little gesture at the silver path to the moon. "What do you do, after saving the fucking world? Get married? I don't want to do that yet. Sleep with one eye open forever? Pretend birds don't scare the fuck out of you? I don't know what I'm doing. So... if you could show up and tell me where the fuck you went, since it was more important than sticking around, I'd like that. I'll be here all night." A pause. "Please."

That settled, he put his sword and shield down in a sort of pretty, mostly symmetrical way, nudged the lantern and soup a little closer to them, and then took a deep breath.

The Ballad of the Goddess was an old song, older than modern Hylian, and he'd never heard it in the original language. But he knew the tune the same way he knew salt on his skin and Aryll tugging at his pant leg, begging for a story. The really old stories were always songs, and this was supposed to be about the first Hero ever, he'd heard. Maybe his voice was salt-rough and better for shanties, but hey. Singing was singing, and he wasn't begging for a god's attention here.

After the first few notes the tune started to snowball, something picking up in his chest and straightening his spine like a mainsail catching a good wind, something that tasted like sunlight and clouds and cliff-diving into the sea, until for a moment he couldn't even see the star-scattered night, just an ocean of clouds tossing in curls of white edged with gold.

And then it was over, snapped shut like Tetra hoarding her logbook, and Link was left blinking light-blind in the dark for a long moment, the ozone taste of magic crackling at the back of his tongue like old blood.

"Fuck," he muttered, slightly dizzy.

"Fuck," someone else nodded agreeably, bent over his shield with an interested look. "Where'd you get this from, anyway?"

"Fuck!"

Scrambling back, Link made a grab for a sword he wasn't carrying and tripped flat on his ass into the sand, pulse all frantic thunder. The other guy, for his part, raised a vaguely transparent brow at him.

He had curly hair pulled back in a short ponytail, as best as it could be pulled back at least. The moonlight left him washed-out, and even with the lantern light on him it was hard to pick out colors- boots that might have been purple with strange iridescent feather-charms, blue gauntlets edged in fur, green tunic, a strange red cloak like layered leaves or really large feathers.

There was a bright gold hilt at his hip that didn't match the Master Sword with a jet-black pommelstone, and elaborate eyeliner curled around foggy blue eyes with sharp runic intent laced into the careful design. He smiled, rough and fun and a little sly, and capped it all off with a wave. "Boo."

"Boo your fucking self, shit." Pressing a hand to his chest like he could stop his heart from trying to jump out of it, Link stared at the ghost squatting next to his shield and tried to reconcile the slightly wild edge to him with the cold, carved hero in the sunken castle. "Are you him, then? The hero before me, who fought Ganondorf?"

The ghost didn't react to the name, and after a lingering look completely lost interest, peering at the shield again and attempting to run transparent fingers over it. On one of them, a red-gold ring glinted, and he could see the flash of bracelets under the wrist-lacing of the gauntlets. "Doesn't ring a bell, sorry. Was Ganondorf a demon?"

"No. Maybe he would've been later, I dunno." Link shrugged, uncomfortable, and pulled himself into a tailor's seat to watch the ghost attempting to look at his shield. He had a sneaking, horrible suspicion he'd been right, somewhere down the line. The shield might not have belonged to a hero at all. He wasn't even looking at the Master Sword. "Did you ever use the Master Sword?"

"Nope!" He popped it, idle and irreverent, before patting the gold hilt at his hip possessively. "I made my own. Sometimes you've gotta say fuck the gods and make your own demon-killing sword." His eyes lifted, locked on Link. "Nobody knows who made the Master Sword, and she wasn't there when I needed her, so why trust hearsay? I'm a blacksmith. If something's important enough for me to kill, I'm not trusting anyone else's work."

Despite his own better judgement, Link could feel his estimation of the strange blond ghost rising. This might be an alright ancestor. No bullshit, at least. He cocked his head like a seagull. "Then who are you? I'm Link of Outset, Hero of the Winds."

The ghost's grin went sharp, predatory in a way he recognized, like Tetra when the seas got choppy. "Oh that's funny. Really? Hero of Winds? I know that's my hair on your head. Wind?"

Link just drew the Wind Waker with a challenging glare. "Yeah, what about it? Hyrule's an ocean now, the wind is the most powerful thing out there. I control it. What're you, hero of bad fashion choices?"

"A blacksmith," the ghost nearly purred out, something sparkling like fairy lights in his eyes, "First and foremost, the best blacksmith Hyrule's ever seen. Second, I'm the Hero of the Minish, what Hylians call the Picori." He grinned. "And apparently I kicked the ass of Vaati the Wind Demon so hard that my great-whatever-grandson stole his schtick. This is the best day of my life. Unlife. You get it."

[soliloquyepistolary]

What’s going on behind the scenes?

In the dream, I was having a full on TG convo with Clea. It was a back and forth messaging as if it was happening in real life, it was going on for awhile. She sent me a lollipop which appeared in my hand and I was sucking on it, really happy. We were just chatting about how we felt about things, I think I was the one that reached out first. I said I don’t think the recall is happening anymore and as I said if felt quite resolute about it like well this is the information I’m getting but I was soft launching it on her. I don’t think she was on board with it just yet, in fact I don't know that she read what I said or acknowledged it at all. She was talking about something she was struggling with, it felt like I was the one consoling her and being patient. Like I was the one 'waiting' on her this time round. She was the one that was unsure, and I am sure about things. She was showing me pictures she taken on earth of nature and one of them was of a green spindly looking bush that I seemed to recognise. It was a weird image though almost like a reverse image, the foliage was blending into the atmosphere. I could feel her energy during our conversation.

I had to get go work in the morning and MN had forgotten on his key or lost it somehow. We were both starting at 9 but usually he opens and so at the last minute, I had to. I wasn’t freaking out though, like I was getting ready at a rapid pace but it was fine I knew I’d get there in time. In fact as I was walking to walk, I saw Antoinette in her truck driving to work so I just hoped in. We were only a few minutes away and I messaged MN saying as much. Then when I showed up, he was already there standing out the front and maybe had gotten there just as I had. I think he’d managed to get it open himself like he ended up getting his key somehow and I could see someone was with him like probably another coworker who had helped him out much like how Antoinette had helped me. I never needed to rush so hard I knew it was going to work out and there was nothing to freak out over either way. I thought it was up to me but actually we’re all working together to open the door lol

This feeling like I'm the teacher, I'm the one teaching the course now, there was a sense of anticipation but I have it under control

My mum was making me mi goreng but then she must have forgotten that the water was boiling because I didn’t end up getting it until ages later like an hour later. She was in my room trying to feed it to me too but I stopped her since I can eat it without help

I was with AJ and some other guy with blonde hair and I was cuddling up to AJ like holding his arm and getting his hand and saying omg your hand is so cute but he’s an NPC now, he felt floppy like a doll, and submissive and there wasn’t really any energy coming from him. I made him and the other guy kiss and here was a lot of chemistry, it was very passionate and convincing little kisses I knew I was creating it. Then we were hanging out in a house and then some people came to shoot at us I think they were zombies or something. We were in high school uniforms and then the two of them protected me they ran out to the front of the house, had guns and were shooting. I was creeping around the house trying to find my way out without making a sound but I needed my shoes before I wanted to make my escape. I could walk out right now but I needed to be comfortable with my shoes on I didn’t want to run away and damaging my feet, getting cuts. I saw AJ had successfully killed them or chased them off and he walked past me giving me this bemused look like what are you doing just leave. I went to the back to get my shoes and leave again but I had this feeling there might be one more zombie lurking about.

I was at work and I didn’t know how to counsel on a new medicine that looked like a black crayon in a box. It was a young female customer so I stalled and went to go print out the cmi and learn about t the medicine like I usually do when I don't know what it is. But I just couldn’t really comprehend it at all, I kept flipping through the pages trying to find the important part which is how to actually use it but I can't find it. I think it’s for cancer or something and you draw it out on your arm to take the dose. I got AL to help me, she managed to get the proper cmi out I had some other info that wasn’t a cmi it was official product info but different somehow, like a knock off and she ended up handling the situation for me. I asked her to help me since I didn’t know what to say. She had that standoffish energy about her but I was glad she helped, I knew I created this.

💗💗💗!

Honestly your centaur Jekyll posts have got me wanting to drawing a centaur Jekyll

How dare you bdsksndnsks /j

Heck yeah, centaur!Jekyll rights!!

Also this AU was primarily so I could draw cervitaur!Jekyll ngl

Jekyll and a herdmate after trading with a human! Those aren't bindings, btw, just simple bands of cloth that their herd wears when doing business with humans. Taurs tend to stick to the wilds due to human society not being very accomodating for such large lower halves, and have thus formed very different standards culturally from humans and other bipedal beings. Clothing just snags on branches, and it puts you at risk of predators to stop and do the laundry in a river, so they only ever really wear basic coverings when interacting with humans to be polite. They weave thick blankets/shawls/cloaks that can be worn during the colder months, but other than that they see no purpose in clothing.

Before anyone asks, yes, Henry had to adjust heavily to that when he moved to London. Having fur trapped beneath fabric is not comfortable, he has discovered.

first date || kozume kenma, iwaizumi hajime (f!reader)

request : hi! ☺️ can i request first date headcanons (or a blurb, whichever one!!) with kenma and/or iwa ?? reader can be fem or gn! thank you sm 🥰🥰🥰

warnings : kenma is a big dummy

a/n : yall know i had to throw the seijoh four in there they thrive on chaos

kozume kenma

mans probably doesnt even know its a date im so sorry

when you ask him to get lunch with you, hes just like

yeah sure

but he notices that youve dressed up a little bit and that you seem really nervous when he finally shows up

and suddenly hes like

should i have dressed better?? is this okay?? why is she nervous whats happening im getting nervous now

you guys are friends, what is making you so nervous ?? you eat lunch tg all the time and yet hes never seen that lipstick before,,, or the way you keep pushing your food around but not really eating it 

“why arent you eating?” his voice is soft and vaguely disinterested as always, but hes watching you really closely, waiting for you to tell him whats wrong

when you tell him its nothing, he feels like hes definitely missing something, but when the waitress comes by and mentions how cute you look together hes like 

“oh--”

he puts it tg pretty easily after that 

and now his hands are getting kinda cold which only really happens when hes nervous 

he doesnt know if he wants to ask just to clarify or if he feels really embarrassed about having to ask because he doesnt want you to find out that he had no idea this was a date

and now hes really worried about how he looks like wtf who shows up to a date in slippers why didnt he put rEAL SHOES ON

when you guys are outside he offers to take you to get coffee or ice cream or smth and you give him a look bc he literally never wants to do anything except be at home 

aaaand now hes wondering if he misread it again and that its actually not a date

hes having a Bad Time

hes really bad at this give him a break 

you guys are probably going to need to talk after he walks you home bc hes going to be thinking about it all day and not doing much of anything else until he finally calls you bc hes so confused 

overall a complete disaster but he really is trying his best 

iwaizumi hajime

he’s never going to admit this to anyone ever but he asked oikawa about his date idea and also for help picking an outfit 

the second part he didnt actually ask for, tooru is just Completely Committed to the plan 

at first hes like what about dinner and a movie ??? 

and oikawas like

this is why you cant be trusted 

so instead of taking you out for dinner at some stuffy restaurant and then to a movie theater where you cant talk 

oikawas like what if you just invite her over and make dinner and then just make the movie background noise so you guys can actually ,,, you know,,, talk 

and iwa’s like NO THATS SCUMMY SHES GONNA THINK IM BEING SCUMMY

and oikawas like THEN DONT BE SCUMMY ABOUT IT YOU HEINOUS BITCH

they almost threw hands over this conversation but thats for another day

so iwa invites you over and hes so nervous that he almost chops his damn finger off making you dinner 

but somehow he doesnt come off as nervous bc hes iwaizumi hajime 

he looks so calm and collected and charming and sweet

hes making so much conversation and asking you about your day and your life and everything he can think of

and its so damn smooth but really hes trying to distract you from how his hands are shaking bc hes actually just a big nervous dork

and to top it all off hes a great cook hes literally perfect that man 

he asks what movie you want to watch and actually really is begging you silently to pick something you really want to watch so that it doesnt seem like hes just trying to put smth random on before he seDUCES YOU

and right when you guys are sitting down to watch the movie, he looks out his apartment window and boom--

matsuhanakawa 

hes on the third floor how the fuck are they outside his window 

where did they get that ladder

the world may never know

and then his entire cool composure comes crashing down and hes like

angry iwa-chan stomping over to the window

he really could have done that better he totally could have ignored them

nope hes seeing red and chewing them out at the window 

but youre laughing your ass off bc there goes your date, once charming and calm, off to whoop some ass 

honestly he thinks hes not getting a second date, but how could you not want a second date? hes iwaizumi hajime

[bansheeoftheforest]

Do you perhaps have some Jekshire thoughts you could share? I cannot get enough of this unfortunately very niche ship.

Hehe hehehe heheheheehhehe hehehhe heh <3

I... Might have gone a bit off board with this but hehe... Somehow this ended up being mostly about how they got together and the beginning of their relationship but??? eh <3

While Henry hadn't really realized his bisexuality until he met Robert and immediately felt ashamed by it, Enoch had always had a hum about his bisexuality. Except, of course, he chalked it up to him and his pals just being bros. Just pals being dudes. Lads being guys. Nothing unusual with that. Although when he did realize that maybe he thought guys looked... Ahem, better than most other guys would think, he just shrugged it off and didn’t give a single shit about it, though <3

Enoch was one of the first persons that Henry saw when he entered London for the first time; Enoch was an officer-in-training patrolling the London borders with his higher-ups, and Henry was an eager student about to make his way straight to the University campus. They shared a short glance and Enoch couldn't help but feel like Henry was awfully cute, although he didn't even catch those thoughts himself.

It's no secret that Henry-- as a young, successful doctor, bachelor, and just generally a good and attractive person-- has a lot of people that has a crush on him, yet he doesn't notice that himself. He catches people's heart like they are flies flocking to his light, Enoch was no different, although it took a handful of more encounters with him in their latter years for him to realize that. Henry remained blissfully unaware.

Enoch has always been good at hiding his emotions and keeping them away from his workplace, but when he came back from a patrol after just having ran into Dr. Jekyll and shared a brief chat with him, it was not hard for the other officers to notice that something was... Hm, unusual with Brokenshire that day.

It took only a handful of more solo patrols and Enoch coming back like he had just gotten a red-faced spring allergy with soft grumbling for Jenkins and Wipple realize he kept meeting an object of his affections. Cue a lot of teasing. Cue a lot of protests from Brokenshire. Cue a lot of drunkenly getting his feelings out to his friends by simply making it seem like Henry is a married woman that Enoch accidentally had fallen for. Cue a lot of sympathy and even more teasing.

So if he suddenly had a lot of solo patrols by the Society, then he would just say it was his sheer luck. 

He ends up accidentally running into Henry a lot. Henry always seems pleasantly delighted and surprised. Enoch can never really help but feel extremely giddy about it. 

They never really formally became friends until they both attended an event held by the commissioner. Both being close friends to their mutual associate, the two of them ended up running into each other again quite quickly.

Or more like, Henry saw Brokenshire standing in a corner, dressed in his finest (and only) formal suit while sipping wine. It had taken exactly half a moment for Henry to completely abandon whatever friends he had been chatting up to make his way over to the lonely sergeant. A sergeant who very much tried to hide his blush and fluster while trying to not choke on his wine. 

They ended up casually talking for the first time during that event, they both learned a lot about each other-- Henry often spoke of Glasgow with Brokenshire, who’s family had immigrated from Edinburgh to London before he was born.

While they started casually talking during the event, they soon began to spend more time together. Enoch quickly learned that Henry’s reputation of being someone who very much will talk someone’s ears off wasn’t an overstatement, yet he found it quite endearing. Soon Enoch would find himself accompanied by the doctor during his lonely patrols in Westminster, and soon Henry found himself getting escorted to his meetings by a particularly bored sergeant who always seemed to catch him at the right time.

It really did not take long for Enoch to realize why the commissioner was so fond of Henry, and it really did not take long for his sudden crush on the other man to get a bit overwhelming.

Henry, meanwhile, had been too caught up with the actual events of TGS to fully notice his own growing fondness for the sergeant. Or more like, he saw the signs but refused to confront them in fear of repeating what happened to him and Robert... And, well, falling for a police officer who wants another part of him dead.

That plan went straight to hell. Henry soon caught himself following the sergeant like an affectionate puppy, and his little love-sickness was quickly noticed by a handful of Lodgers who desperately wanted to know who had managed to get suck a reaction out of him. The fact that Henry was suddenly spending more and more time with Enoch seemed to go completely unnoticed by everyone.

Neither of them really realized their feelings for each other until Brokenshire found Henry stumbling down the street one night; his body was beaten and bruised, his clothes were torn, and he had just managed to escape a nasty bar-fight that Hyde had gotten him into. It was just his luck that he had managed to escape enough to get some HJ7 into him. Enoch had decided that the Society or the hospital were both too far away, so he took him into the station instead. Yet he merely told the other officers to find the offenders while he patched up Henry.

It was certainly unprofessional of him to place Henry down on his own chair in his office before gently placing the palm of his coarse hand on the other’s cheek as he began to clean the wounds and the dried blood from the nosebleed, and yet neither could say that they minded. Something about having Enoch’s large hand on his sensitive face made Henry melt into the touch, something about seeing Henry’s eyes flutter close at the careful touches got Enoch’s heart beating faster and faster.

Henry had been... Quite out of it, so to speak. Enoch had not known if it was because he was horribly drunk or had suffered a nasty hit to the head, but as he carefully began to question him about what had happened, the way Henry would almost grin and tilt his head upwards (almost as if he was proud of it) got a completely unnecessary blush to reach Enoch’s cheeks. 

Enoch helped Henry back to the Society, and yet he could not keep himself from visiting the next morning. “Just to make sure he is fine”, he had told himself. Well, the Lodgers did not believe that, and poor hangover Henry woke up to the sound of a lot of yelling from the foyer. The Lodgers were too busy trying to shoo the sergeant (who was off-duty, mind you) to notice the doctor. Enoch noticed him immediately and yet he hated how his heartbeat began to pick up again.

It all ended up with Henry inviting Enoch into his office for a bit of tea... Which, in itself, ended up with the two of them sitting closer to each other than probably should have been socially acceptable. Neither could deny that it probably wasn’t the steaming tea that warmed them up, neither could deny that their companion was looking too good for their own good in that soft morning light.

Henry was too hungover to really think straight, soon they ended up gazing at each other and neither could look away. Suddenly Henry felt himself coming closer, he heard how Brokenshire’s breath hitched, yet neither pulled away. They noses brushed together, both knew that they should probably pull away, and neither did. In the end, it was Enoch who placed his hand on Henry’s cheek and closed the distance between them.

Enoch and Henry didn’t leave the office for hours. Both could consider themselves lucky that Enoch had a day off and Henry had nothing scheduled. 

Ahaha anyways time for some actual hcs about this ship.

Enoch is very protective of Henry. Like, stupidly protective, and yet he always makes sure that he never overwhelm Henry with it. He just worries a lot for his lover and especially since he knows what a cruel world they live in and how terrible Henry is at taking care of and loving himself. Henry thinks it’s quite sweet, especially just because he thinks it’s nice to have a lover who actually cares about him.

Both Enoch and Henry love dogs. Enoch does not bat an eye at church grims. Rachel had to physically restrain both of them from adopting an entire graveyard filled with church grims after many of the smaller churches in London were destroyed to make way for new apartments.

Cuddles. SO much cuddles. Neither are big at PDA or physical affection otherwise but jesus christ so many cuddles. It goes to the point where neither can sleep without the other, so Henry has to constantly sneak out of the Society (or his own house) to get to Enoch’s apartment since he doesn’t want to risk his servants or the Lodgers getting suspicious. Enoch always waits for him with a cup of peppermint tea for him when he comes by during the night.

Henry has a thing for men in uniform. That’s it. That’s the post /hj.

Enoch is the only person that Henry feels comfortable actually slipping into his Scottish accent with. He doesn’t try to stop it when he is incredibly tired or incredibly drunk because in the end, it wasn’t like Enoch didn’t have a thick accent all the time.

Surprisingly, Enoch is the one that has to patch Henry up a lot. For being a doctor, he really has no idea how to take care of himself or how to deem a wound serious enough to treat, or potions dangerous enough to not test on himself. Enoch always patches him up and Henry always melts into his hands like an ice-cube by a candle. By the rare instances that Enoch does get hurt while on duty, he loves watching Henry fretting over him.

(Plus, he can freely demand as many kisses as he wants when he is bedridden because Henry can’t complain about it).

They are the same height-- or Enoch is slightly taller, but Henry wears heeled shoes so they don’t really notice until Henry takes the shoes off and suddenly he feels like Enoch became a goddamn tree. Enoch loves those moments more than he could possibly describe.

Enoch manhandles Henry a lot. He stays up late and refuses to go to bed? Enoch throws him over his shoulder and takes him to bed. Henry is teasing him or they are play fighting? Henry squeals as he suddenly get picked up bridal style. Enoch is incredibly strong and Henry weighs like... Nothing. Plus, his squeals are incredibly endearing.

Sometimes Enoch will wake up in the morning only to see Henry already awake playing with Ralphie and Zosi, and sometimes Enoch will swear that Henry only started dating him to steal his dog.

(Henry will only partially deny that).

Wipple and Jenkins once went on a surprise visit to Enoch’s apartment, having gotten a spare key each “for emergencies” (or more like for whenever they feel like annoying their friend). The first thing they saw was Henry and Enoch cuddled up on the couch. Enoch politely told them to get out of his apartment and not speak of this. For once, Wipple and Jenkins kept to that promise (although they did tease him a lot afterwards but hell, if their friend is just going to around dating a man like that it sure as hell should be someone they like as much as Dr. Jekyll). 

Somehow, they managed to keep their relationships quite a well-kept secret for many, many years. People only started to get suspicious when both the doctor and the sergeant conveniently retired at the same time and moved out of London. They took their pick-pack and moved into a manor at the outskirts of Edinburgh, forgetting their past life in London. They still kept in touch with their old friends, however, who often came to their home on vacation during the summers.

Just let me have Enoch becoming a grumpy old gay and Henry the tired old gay and just let me have them be happy pls <3

Oohoohohh. Give me tired old Enoch and Henry-- both with grey hair and wrinkled faces-- finding a young orphan on the streets when they are buying the groceries. Give me 60/70+ year old Enoch and Henry becoming dads <3<3<3

FRAGILE | Park Chanyeol x reader

Genre: Fluff

Word Count: 1,766

Warning: None! (do beware for grammatical errors though lol not proof read at all)

-

You’re pregnant, can’t see your toes, and the world is falling apart.

Chanyeol still loves you.

-

You stared at yourself in the mirror with downturned lips.

Your stomach hung lower than ever before and when you looked down, you couldn’t even see your toes anymore.

Was my hair always this wiry?

Whoever said pregnancy was a beautiful thing had obviously never seen the hair growing on your legs.

“Babe, I’m home!”

You whined immediately at the sound of his voice and turned around to lock the bathroom door. It had been an hour since you went in there, all to surprise Chanyeol. You hadn’t had sex for going on a month because your nausea was almost constant, and he had been on a week-long business trip. You wanted to do something nice and you couldn’t even stop looking in the mirror long enough to shower.

Was my ass always this big?

“Babe?”

His voice was closer, and you sat on the toilet, holding your head in your hands.

“Don’t come in here!” You yelled.

Thankfully, you had locked the bathroom door because despite your request he tried to get in anyways.

“What’s wrong? Let me in.”

Tears fell down your cheeks and your lip trembled, staring at the chipped paint of your toenails. It only made you cry harder.

Were my ankles always this swollen?

“Go away!”

The doorknob turned again. “Why are you crying? What happened?! Are you hurt?!”

“Not physically!” You retorted.

“What does that even mean? Get out here right now.”

You hauled yourself back up (was it always this hard to move around?) and walked towards the door, pulling it open and staring up at him.

He looked so good. Too good for you. Your face crumpled, lip jutting out. “I used to be so pretty. Now look at me.” He looked you up and down at your request and you closed your eyes, a sob sneaking past your lips. “I’m a hairy fucking potato sack.”

He was quiet, but only for a few seconds while you cried.

“Babe,” you heard his unmistakable laugh as he pulled you into his arms, hands wiping the tears from your cheeks even though they were nonstop. “where is this coming from?! You’re not a hairy potato sack!”

“I can’t even bend over to paint my toenails anymore!” You cried.

His chest rumbled with more laughter and he pressed kisses to your tear-soaked face without contempt. It warmed your heart in the same way it broke it (How can he stand being with me like this?) When he was satisfied with that, he pressed your face into his chest and rocked you back and forth like a child.

It was nice.

Thirty minutes passed before your legs started cramping up and you whined against him, pulling your head back, chin resting on his chest. He peered down at you with a smile that you weren’t ready to reciprocate.

“My legs hurt.”

He moved without question, leading you to the bed and sitting you down.

“Want to tell me what happened?”

You teared up again and he kneeled down in front of you, resting his head on your knees.

“I just wanted to look nice for you since we haven’t had sex in a decade, but I looked in the mirror and just-” you paused, looking at him incredulously. “I don’t know how to make this look nice! And I couldn’t bend down to shave my legs or paint my toenails. And I was going to wear your sweatshirt to be sexy, but I’m scared it won’t even fit! I don’t even know who I am anymore, I feel like I was swallowed by another person!”

He smiled and it took every bit of restraint you had not to slap him. How could he sit there looking pretty and smiling while you were having a complete meltdown?

Before you could yell, he stood up and pressed a chaste kiss to your lips, turning around and walking into the bathroom.

“Don’t move.” He yelled back just as you were turning around to grab the tv remote to throw at the back of his head. When he returned, he was holding his sweatshirt that you took into the bathroom. He pulled it over your head in silence, fixed your hair when your head poked through and then walked away again. You stood up to fix it, shocked to see that you weren’t as big as you’d imagined since you were still swimming in it, belly only somewhat showing.

“Okay, so” Chanyeol walked in again, but that time he carried a big bowl of water and some towels. He sat it down at your feet and reached into the pocket of his hoodie to pull out a few different colors of nail polish and a razor. “I’ve never shaved my legs, but I figure it’s like shaving your face. Right?”

You stared down at him and felt tears bubbling in your throat.

“Also, do you want…” He looked at the bottom of each different nail polish. “tickle me pink, oh so blue, or the devil’s red?”

When he looked back up at you from the floor, the tears wouldn’t stop.

“Why are you being so nice to me?” You wiped at your face with the sleeves of his sweatshirt. “I’m being so annoying and you’re still being nice. What’s wrong with you?”

He stood up and sat on the bed beside you, grabbing your hand tightly. He waited for you to regain some composure and look at him before speaking.

“I love you. And that’s not conditional or when I think you deserve it. I love you crying, whining, yelling, and even when you can’t bend over anymore. I love you from this life to the next. I love you snotty nosed and mascara stained cheeks.” He brushed his thumb across your cheek, and you leaned into his hand. “I love every crazy little corner of you.”

You smiled despite the tears and he lit up, kissing you with so much love that your chest hurt.

When he pulled back you shoved at his chest playfully. “When did you get so cute?”

He scooted back down to the floor and grabbed your foot, propping it up on his knee.

“I’m always cute.” He said with an effortless smile.

You somehow loved him a mile more.

-

“Breathe.”

It was so simple, just breathe. In and out. Chest rises and then falls. Smell the roses, blow out the candles.

Just breathe.

Why was it so hard? Why couldn’t you just breathe?

“I can’t-”

You were cut off by warm hands on your cheeks,  silencing all of your thoughts, a deep inhale of reality that calmed you and reminded you the simple mechanisms of in and out all at the same time.

Your eyes, wide and frantic and scared.

His eyes… calm, loving, and gentle. His thumbs brushed the stray tears from your cheeks and the smile he put on for you left you in shambles.

“You can. Just breathe, like this.” He took a deep breath in and you mimicked him, shaky and full of fear. He released it and again, you followed suit, more tears falling despite the waves of calm that rushed over you.

His breath smelled like mint leaves. He always smelled like mint leaves.

When he smiled, you almost forgot how to breathe again. “See? You can do it. I told you.”

You smiled back, proud that you could do it. Proud that you made him smile. When his eyes lowered down to the all too large baby bump that projected from you, you melted. He rested his hands there and smiled even bigger.

“And you,” he started, and you immediately laughed. “Stop giving your momma a hard time, okay?”

“Yeah, if you could just get your foot out of my rib cage, I think I will be okay.”

Chanyeol’s laugh was harmonious and real. He pressed a kiss to your forehead, and you leaned into his chest, let him hold you as tight as he could, press more kisses into the top of your head.

“I love you.” He mumbled.

“I love you.” You mumbled in reply.

Two hours later, he was packing your things into the car.

“I think- I think we can wait a while longer, okay? Yeah, let’s wait! I don’t want to go yet.”

You were talking to yourself only. Panic rose in your chest the longer he ignored you pleas, fear bubbling over with the tears rolling down your cheeks as Chanyeol worked on setting up the car seat in the back. You shook your head to no one, gripped your stomach and took a step back, ready to run away.

“Let’s just go back inside Yeol, I can’t go today.” You whined, annoyed that he wasn’t paying attention to you. He simply sighed in response, still fiddling with the car seat.

“We’re going to the hospital, you’re in labor.” He mumbled, finally stepping back, and putting your bags in the back.

“No, I’m not!” You shouted and he shot you an annoyed look over his shoulder.

“Your water broke three hours ago!” He yelled and you tossed your head back, crying to the sky since he wasn’t listening.

“Please, let’s just go back inside! I’m not ready, I can’t do this, I just can’t!”

You were sobbing, fingers trembling, when Chanyeol grabbed your face, pulling it back to his level. He didn’t give you more than a second to process what was happening before he kissed you with every bit of love he held in his heart. Every fear you held dissipated. Every worry on your shoulders lifted. Your heart fluttered; stomach flipped.

He rested his forehead on yours when he pulled away and his eyes bore into yours. He was the loveliest human being you had ever known. Every bad day you’d had for the last few months, every second worth of pain and turmoil you had felt, he took it all onto him in a second and carried all of your sorrows. All of your worries.

His smile brought you sunshine.

“You’re going to be the best mom ever.”

You cried out loud and he laughed, pulling you into a tight hug.

“Let’s go get this baby out of you.”

-

Hours, days, weeks later, Chanyeol made sure you knew how loved you were. On your dramatic days, your angry ones. Even the really really depressing days when you hated yourself. His love filled you up and emptied you out over and over and you would never get tired of waking up beside him.

Life was so warm by his side.

Your sunshine.

-

A/N: Hiiiii! So parts of this were actually supposed to be for TG pt II, but it felt so cheap for some reason for my TG Chanyeol and OC. I think I like it much better as a little drabble lol (or not drabble w/e ya want it to be). I wanted to get this out bc I know I suck on updating TG, but i hope this will hold you guys over for a little while!! Writers block has been eating me a l i v e, and it is so frustrating on top of medical issues I’ve been having and my own anxiety/depression stuff. But I’m happy for those of you who will still read my stuff, and I’m so so sorry if I’ve disappointed any of you bc the wait has been so long. Love you all long long time and I hope y’all have the loveliest day!!!! or night <3<3<3

石田お寿司 12/9/21 stream translation Part 4

This is not the full translation of the stream. I only translated the parts I could understand & interpret or parts I found interesting/important. I’m still a beginner in Japanese, so the translations may not be accurate. If you want to repost, please repost at your own risk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(t/n: ** means translation may not be accurate.)

I: We’re talking about the commemoration of 30,000 subscribers, right? What should we do?

C: Is this a chatting stream?

I: Well, yeah.

C: Let’s play game now.

I: I’m totally okay with it.

C: I feel bad that I pinned this person’s comment. Should I unpin it? This is what’ll happen if you guys aren’t careful with your comments. You’ll be exposed. I’ll forgive this person.

C: Please do streaming of you working on lyrics.

I: I’m totally okay with something like that.

C: Have you ever received hair?  

I: I did receive something similar. A deep red colour. Was it a wig or something? This is a true story.

C: Scary!

I: I didn’t think it was scary though. I was like “I see…”. It was unique.

C: Have you received a marriage registration form?

I: No, but I once received a purikura photo from a gal. The letter was cute. She’s seriously a gal, with the round letters and all. She’s super young and the purikara was cute. The content of the letter was hilarious. She’s like “Let’s hang out!”, “It’s fun!” “I read TG! I don’t understand it, but it’s fun!”.  She’s totally a gal. It was amazing. How did I get that? That’s a good one, though I didn’t get to hang out with her.

C: Eh, is it okay to send purikura?

I: I’ll just take a look at it if you send one. I won’t do anything about it. Nothing will happen.

C: Impressive move.

I: Right? But I think it’s the culture. I wanna experience this kind of culture as well. I want gals and Exile fans to read my works, not just people who have read TG. I wanna write something that everyone can enjoy.

C: You wanna interact with gals?

I: I wanna try. Normally, you won’t be able to, right? Have I ever talked to a gal before? A real gal. Avu-chan was super gal-like. Avu-chan is a gal. My first encounter with a gal was with Avu-chan from Queen Bee.

*He’s imitating Avu-chan’s way of talking.

I: I see. So there’s a lot of way to enjoy TG.

C: Seems like you’d be a grandpa.

I: Definitely the case if I ever meet a gal.

C: Are you extremely close with her (avu-chan)?

I: I’m the type who approach the other party. Well, I’m sure everyone is like this, but don’t you have different personas? I wasn’t pretending or anything, but I wore a gal persona for the first time when I was with Avu-chan. Avu-chan has a gal-like personality, so I thought I also needed a new persona.  By the way, have you played the game Persona? Just like how the main character attained new personas, the gal persona came out aggressively from behind me and possessed me.

I: Akechi is cool, right? (t/n: Akechi is a character from Persona 5.)

C: Please impersonate Avu-chan.

I: Avu-chan’s impersonation? “But then~”. How is it again? “Sui Sensei is~”. But she talks about deep stuffs, even though she’s a gal. Although she’s a gal, she’s someone with a lot of knowledge.

C: can you read gal’s alphabet?

I: I can if I try hard enough.

I: I wanna include a gal character in choujin x.

C: Sensei seems to have high communication skill.

I: I don’t think so. There’s a term called ‘communication monster’. My friend, Takahashi Kunimitsu form Osterreich is a communication monster. He knows how to hype people up, since he doesn’t say offensive things.** He can join in conversations with anyone, anywhere like a clown. Then, he’ll be very tired after that. It’s wearing him out on top of having a high communication skill. That is a communication monster. I can join in a conversation as well, but unless it’s with someone I’m fond with, I won’t. It’s tiring.

C: People who are good at getting along with others do exist.

I: Yes. He’s good at that.

I: Kunimitsu’s seriously amazing. He got along with a granny he just met in a bar. I just listened to their conversation the entire time.

C: Isn’t that considered as a communication disability if you get tired by it?

I: I do think it’s a sign of communication disability**, But again, that’s just another side of it. It’s the same as shy people who can speak well.

C: Was it the one you posted on twitter?

I: Yup. The one at the bar in Nogata. Was it in Nogata? Probably there. But I think band men have great communication skill, since they meet various types of people.

Y****: I don’t like gals.

I: That’s not good. You’re in the theatre club, after all. Someone involves in theatres can’t be bias. It’s okay if you don’t like them, but it’s better to come across them.

C: Is it important to talk and meet with various people?

I: Hm, I wonder. I think it’s important, especially when you’re still shaping your identity. I speak like this because I didn’t manage to meet and get along with people. I was super serious whenever I was invited to a live show, like the time I met Mr. TK. I was super serious every time I met people when I was in my 20s.

C: You did meet Gegegay, right? (t/n: Tokyo Gegegay is a Japanese dance & music group.)

I: I did. I might not be able to converse with him if I didn’t come prepared. They’re super nice though. Mr. Mikey’s punch was strong. I was like “so we’re gonna have this kind of conversation on our first meeting.”. But it was really entertaining. He’s actually being considerate of me. Somehow, I’ve had a conversation with Mr. Mikey and Ms. Reol, just the three of us remotely. Mr. Mikey was really considerate during the conversation to make it very enjoyable. I was amazed by it.

(t/n: Mikey is the leader of Tokyo Gegegay. Reol is a Japanese singer.)

C: Have you ever met Hirose Alice? (t/n: Hirose Alice is an actress. She’s a big fan of TG.)

I: Nope. I think it’s better not to meet her. There’s no chance to meet her.

C: Who’s the person you’re most nervous with when you met them?

I: It’s hard to tell, but I felt nervous every time I met someone for the first time. Then, the feeling gradually disappeared after I got to know them. That’s not good, isn’t it? But, when I met Togashi sensei, it’s more like a dream. It’s an indescribable feeling when I met him. I was like “This kind of feeling exists.” I was nervous when I met Avu-chan as well. But rather than feeling nervous, since she was very nice, I was able to talk a lot. It was fun.

*Someone asked if he had meet Masataka Kubota.

I: I’ve met him.

C: Do you have a mentor?

I: Probably Hara sensei. The word ‘mentor’ is hard to describe. But, he’s somewhat a mentor-like presence to me. I don’t know.  

C: Do you like Yonezu Kenshi?

I: That’s needless to say. Everyone likes him.

*Someone asked if he’s met Horikoshi Kohei sensei (BNHA’s author).

I: Nope. We have the same age.

C: He drew the draft while lying down, right? (t/n: OP probably talking about Togashi sensei.)

I: He showed me how he did the draft.

*Someone asked if he’s met Inoue Takehiko sensei (Slam dunk’s author.)

I: Nope. If Hara sensei is considered as my mentor, though I can just call him that, Inoue Takehiko sensei would be my mentor uncle.

C: Was Masataka Kubota good-looking?

I: He’s super good-looking.

*Someone asked if he’s met Kotoyama sensei (Dagashikashi’s author).

I: I’ve never met her.

*Someone asked if he’s met Araki Hirohiko sensei (Jojo’s author).

I: Nope. Wait, I did. It was when I was still an assistant. My senior, Matsubara Toshimitsu sensei, who’s writing a manga called Kurogane no Valhallian in Young jump, was like “Araki Hirohiko is here! Let’s meet him for a bit!”, and I agreed to him. Araki sensei is on another level, as expected. He’s super-duper famous, after all. All the assistants were surrounding him, asking him for pictures. When it was our turn, my smile was so stiff when I took a picture with him. I was too nervous. It was a distorted smile. Then, Mr. Matsubara accidentally stepped on Araki sensei’s foot. He’s like “I’m sorry! I accidentally stepped on your foot!” By the way, I went to the new year’s party in my pajama, which had curry on the sleeve and took a picture with Araki sensei. The clothes were shabby. Since Araki sensei was a nice person, He complimented me saying the it was fashionable. I was so thankful. He complimented my pilled and curry stained clothes. I was happy for that. I went there wearing pajama because I didn’t have any other clothes. The clothes were in a white colour. I went there wearing a parker with dull pants. He was really cool. Very young-looking and a wonderful person.

C: Have you gotten a chance to meet Miura Kentaro sensei (Berserk’s author)?

I: No, I’d never met him. I liked him a lot. I still like him. I can’t continue talking about him. It’s too sad. I can’t express how I feel other than I’m sad. Death. Regarding this, I wish people wouldn’t pray to the dead souls so casually. I don’t like praying to the dead souls nor do I like people doing that as well.

C: Have you met Mengo sensei (Scum’s wish’s author) and Aka sensei (Kaguya sama’s author)?

I: I’ve met Ms. Mengo a long time ago. She’s always present at parties. She’s quite stand out as well. She’s wearing cat ears the first time I met her. It was cute. I think I have met Akasaka sensei.  Probably just introduced myself.  

C: You’re a mangaka, but have you been surprised by other mangakas’ personalities?

I: Pretty much. Like their images or...Well, aren’t you like that with everyone? Isn’t it normal to be surprised by their images, physiques, and voices? Since you never imagine about those things.

C: I want you to meet Isayama sensei.

I: Isayama sensei’s also the same age as me.

C: I have met Itagaki Keisuke sensei (Baki’s author)!

I: So you’ve met him. I see.

C: Have you met Inagawa Junji (actor & director)?

I: I want to.

*Ishida was about to read a comment but stopped.

I: People will keep asking who I’ve met if I answer this, so I’ll skip it.

*He still answered the question.

I: I’ve never met Ryuuichi (illustrator & character designer). He’s gotten married. He looks happy, so it’s all well. Ever since before, I didn’t think he had to be that self-asserting. He didn’t need to tell who he was. It’s already written in his account. I was like “Don’t worry, everyone knows. Everyone sees it.” Well, he looks happy, above all.

C: I was excited seeing Hara sensei at the Kingdom exhibition.

I: Oh, he was there.

Part 5

[thewebcomicsreview]

Seeing as I don’t have a job right now (one week furlough), I managed to get a lot of writing for Saffron and Sage done today. Now I feel good! Time to ruin that with a Homestuck 2 Liveblog! Last time: Jade kidnapped “Yiffy”, much to Jane’s distress! No time for that, though, as we’re back with the Candyland Kids. 

HARRY: vrissy, i know this is a stressful predicament but i think that's going too far. HARRY: my dad believes in us. HARRY: and if he thinks there's something we can do, then there has to be a way!

Kind of interesting that Harry holds his dad’s opinion in such high esteem, considering that his dad has been AWOL pretty much his whole life.

TAVROS: Uncle john isn't to blame for this,,, HARRY: yeah, no shit tav. HARRY: this whole situation is because of YOUR insane hitlermom.

How the hell does Harry Anderson know who Hitler is? When did that conversation come up? This is a completely different universe! 

TAVROS: Is less sincere,,, than it is,,, an attempt to weaponize something difficult for me, TAVROS: In order that you can win an argument,,, with harry anderson,,,,, VRISKA: GRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! VRISKA: WILL YOU ALL JUST VRISKA: SHUT!!!!!!!! VRISKA: UP!!!!!!!!

A good example of why characters like John, Jade, Vriska, and sometimes Karkat are important in Homestuck or in stories generally. They actually do shit. 

VRISKA: Neither you nor your friends have anything really important going on. VRISKA: Your lives and your planet are a total 8ore! VRISKA: 8ut somehow John loves you anyway. VRISKA: Try and be fucking gr8ful for that every once in a while. VRISKA: Not everyone is so lucky.

Vriska please do not be pining for middle-aged John Egbert. You have literally half a dozen semi-official love interests (John, Terezi, Eridan, Tavros, Meenah and Kanaya), please don’t pick the one old enough to be your dad. It was already weird enough when Adult John got hot and bothered by teen Roxy in the epilogues, to say nothing of you fucking a middle-aged homeless clown in a bush.  

thespiansGlamor [TG] began pestering adamantGriftress [AG]

Oh, fuck you, Homestuck. It’s bad enough that Harry and Dave are both going to be referred to as “TG” in chatlogs, but now Vrissy and Vriska are both AG and have the same font color! 

TG: i've allocated the strife specibus with the scissorkind abstratus? TG: hm. TG: using this weird vocab and stuff feels... well, weird. TG: i'm not sure why, but it seems as though everything that's about to happen is that much more important now. TG: or maybe it already was, but i just didn't understand just how important until this moment.

One issue with wearing your metaphor on your sleeve as much as Homestuck 2 does is that thematically important lines become really obvious. 

I like how the triangle-shaped panel around Vriska escaping the crowd by simply walking into it is reminiscent of a magic 8-ball. That’s clever! 

VRISKA: Your society... no, your whole planet... it deserves to 8urn str8 to MEGAhell, and I'm gonna 8e the one to fly it there! VRISKA: I'm gonna shatter your paradise into pieces with my 8are hands and SHIT IN ITS GRAVE!!!!!!!! VRISKA: HOW'S THAT FOR A FUCKING ST8MENT! VRISKA: YOU GOT ALL THAT, JANE CROCKER? VRISKA: DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT'S COMING FOR YOU???????? VRISKA: YOU'VE MESSED WITH VRISKA: ********VRISKA******** VRISKA: ****FUUUUUUUUCKING**** VRISKA: ********SERK8T********

There’s some extreme Dungeons and Dragons energy here, where Vriska’s plan to escape a mob of reporters working for a totalitarian dictatorship run by literal gods is to simply walk outside and publicly declare her intent to destroy the world as punishment for its sins. 

And yeah, this is how that plan usually works in DnD, too.

Man, the next page is a wall of text, whereas in old Homestuck this’d be an animation. I get “fair wages” and “small budget”, but is still feels weird to see a big Strife scene merely get described with boring-ass words.

Fearing gunfire, the few paparazzi who aren't currently getting their asses handed to them by the world's angriest traffic cone start to trip over each other, diving for cover.

The world’s angriest traffic cone.

Far away, in her lair, Jane Crocker grabs the two sides of her computer monitor with enough strength to snap it in two. She can't believe what she's watching. Behind her, from a shadowy corner of the room, there is an agitated growling noise and the rattle of chains.

Is that Yiffy? Is Yiffy an animal? Please tell me Yiffy is not a person that Jade named Yiffy. 

....Actually, please tell me that Yiffy isn’t an animal Jade named Yiffy that is Jade’s child via sex with another animal that might be my breaking point.

Vriska alights on the ground, rakes her throat, quietly spits out a little wad of blue, and wipes her mouth unceremoniously. Tavros pats Harry Anderson tentatively on the arm. Vrissy tries to be badass and cough up something too but she doesn't really make it work.  

Vrissy::Vriska Vriska::Mindfang

It’s weird that John’s sprite is the same even though he’s middle aged now, but I like that his God Tier outfit doesn’t fit any more. Isn’t it magical? Ahh, who cares.

JOHN: this old thing is pretty uncomfortable in a lot of ways. JOHN: hm... JOHN: when we get a moment, maybe the two of us could brainstorm a redesign? JOHN: no pressure though. HARRY: !!!

Oh, that’s why! That’s cute. 

JADE: theres something i need to tell you

don’thavefuckedadogdon’thavefuckedadogdon’thavefuckedadog

JADE: john... i have a daughter JADE: shes almost harry andersons age JOHN: ... JOHN: ... JOHN: you have a daughter.

Named Yiffy?

ROSE: It was at this point that Jade came to me. ROSE: I could understand her pain quite acutely, and so... ROSE: I agreed to carry a child on her behalf. KANAYA: . ROSE: ... Without telling Kanaya.

Without-

Kanaya is your WIFE. You LIVE WITH HER. Even ignoring the question of why you’d keep 9 months of pregnancy from your wife, how? Kanaya would have been living with humans for years at that point and she’s literally in charge of reproduction don’t tell me she thought Rose just got fat for a while and then lost the weight really fast. 

ROSE: I'm... not sure why I made that decision. ROSE: I regret not telling Kanaya, of course. ROSE: But I can't say that I regret going through with it. ROSE: At the time, it didn't feel as though the deception was even all that prolonged. The whole affair was... short. ROSE: Purely physical, and nothing more.

ROSE: John, there isn't a father. ROSE: Jade and I are the sole parents of this child. JOHN: oh. JOHN: ... JOHN: OH. JOHN: oh i'm so sorry, i didn't th- ROSE: That's quite alright John, although you might like to direct that apology more towards your sister. ROSE: All I will say is that if you would like to take up the particulars with us, ROSE: Some *other* time, 

Actually, if John doesn’t know that Jade has a male dog’s genitals due to a fusion accident, I’d love to know what that all-caps OH means. What does he think happened, that Jade and Rose managed to have a baby? 

JOHN: so... how did you hide the pregnancy? ROSE: Oh, that was simple. ROSE: Jade's genes being, as they are, part canine, the gestation period was substantially reduced.

OH NO 

Yiffy is literally a furry, isn’t she? Moreso that Jade, she’s a full-on “Can be naked onscreen and it’s okay because she’s covered in fur” dog girl.

JOHN: i think i understand everything so f VRISSY: WAIT!!!!!!!! VRISSY: YOU MEAN TO TELL ME VRISSY: NOT ONLY DO I H8VE A SISTER VRISSY: 8UT YOU NAMED VRISSY: YOUR ****SECRET CHILD**** VRISSY: ********YIFFY********????????

Vrissy makes an excellent point. 

ROSE: We didn't call her Yiffy. ROSE: That would be a quite ridiculous thing with which to burden a child. ROSE: Her full name is Yiffany Longstocking Lalonde Harley.

Vrissy looks as though she is about to shit the belltower they are standing in, brick by brick.

ROSE: It was, in hindsight, a monumentally terrible decision acting as the final chapter in a long series of novels, each one full of progressively more terrible decisions than the last. ROSE: But that is the name that we decided upon.

Oh, wait a second. Vriska changed Vriska Maryam-Lalonde to Vrissy, and changed Harry Anderson to just Harry. So obviously she’s going to rename Yiffy to literally anything else, then rename Tavros, and then we’ve got a new set of four kids as Vriska leaves to do something else. That’s what going to happen, right? Right? Please? 

ROSE: You have to understand... this whole situation ended up playing out a bit like an ironic game of chicken between the two of us. ROSE: Something that far outstripped anything that the Strider fraternity could have produced in their wildest, most jpegged creative wet dreams. ROSE: But in the end that triumph of irony came back to bite us in the fucking ass, as irony is wont to do. ROSE: There was absolutely no possibility of us casually letting you all know that, by the way, we had had a secret daughter named Yiffany Longstocking. ROSE: At least, not right away. ROSE: But carapacian change-of-name paperwork is so complex and circuitous that, eventually, keeping quiet forever just seemed like the more reasonable option.

This is, even for Homestuck, monumentally stupid. You named your daughter Yiffany Longstocking as a joke and then kept the child secret because you were embarrassed. You two are awful fucking parents. You are the worst parents in the entire series, and that includes Bro Strider and the spider that made Vriska feed it children. 

And we’re literally at the point where the writing is bad and the joke is how bad the writing is. This isn’t enjoyable to read; you can’t make a bad B-movie My Immortal fanfic on purpose.  

Even now, Yiffy is likely being held at spoonpoint

I feel like “Jade and Rose have a secret daughter named Yiffany Longstocking” can be a joke or it can be drama but maybe not both at the same time.

peripeteia | how the idiots came to be

okay lets get the easy ones outta the way : 

- namjoon and y/n deadass met on the train 1st year it was the most boring meeting of them all

- actually im a liar , she was in a compartment already just minding her damn business when all of a sudden

- a feral “YEET” was heard just outside of her door, followed almost immediately by some first year boy hitting the ground like a high-speed sack of potatoes

- all of his shit was everywhere and he was just face down on the ground not moving at all 

- like is he dead or nah 

- so y/n opened the door to the compartment and went

- “ARE YOU DEAD OR NAH”

- so he responded by rolling over, in the middle of this train hallway thing, and stared up at her for a second before flashing her this cute ass little smile and said

- “i think the world wants us to be friends”

_____

-ok and then namjoon and hobi met bc theyre roommates 

-but hobi was kinda spooky bc hes aggressively smart and namjoons like how the fuck did i not end up in hufflepuff 

-but then within the first month of classes they had at least two major nerd battles and a showdown in the courtyard about the politics of whether or not a hot dog is a sandwich 

- which actually has never been resolved but its fine they fight about it once a year its healthy for them

- and then hobi met y/n bc one time he came back to his room and she was just sitting there talking to roger,, and namjoon wasnt there so he was like okay are you rogers friends and she was whats a roger and roger really deserves better thats all i gotta say

- and then she said smth to him along the lines of “you got a big mouth bro, how many marshmallows can you fit in that thing”

- and jung hoseok never turns down a challenge

- anyway by the time namjoon [who didnt even invite her there] got back there were marshmallows everywhere and they were both knocked out on the floor and roger was sitting in a corner looking very afraid 

______ 

- yoongi and jin met, again, bc roommates

- but yoongi had gifted him a little potted plant as like a “hey we’re gonna be roommates until we leave this place, lets be friends!!” kinda gesture

- and jin was just so confused bc how can one person literally radiate sunshine and warmth

- and he was already a grumpy, sleepy kid so he was like uh thanks im jin?

- and then one time forgot to water the little plant and woke up to yoongi standing over him with a menacing glint in his eye

- he never forgot to water that plant again, its name is Cappuccino and it is doing just fine

- he also actually wasnt a coffee drinker until the middle of first year when he and yoongi really needed to study for an exam but it was 3am and he was ready to fall asleep which is impossible next to yoongi who just breathes naturally produced energy hes like a plant for energy he never sleeps

- so he dragged jin down to the kitchens and convinced a house elf to make jin a coffee 

- he convinced her with a plant and his litto gummy smile bc she definitely did not want to give an 11 year old caffeine but she eventually did 

- and so CoffeeJin was born

____ 

- so the hufflepuffs actually met the ravenclaw-y/n trio the day of the Hot Dog Showdown

- after some of the profs got tired of seeing these two dummies argue and actually stir up quite the crowd bc this is a very controversial topic, they made everyone get lost 

- but jin and yoongi stayed behind and asked the three of them if theyd ever want to get a midnight hot dog snack tg and continue the battle

- so every friday night they would sneak out as a squad of 5 and just sit in the kitchens talking about random shit 

- also they had a precise 35 minutes of that time scheduled for whatever food topic they wanted to argue about that week

- jin and y/n still get into it regularly about the “milk or cereal first” question

- and thats how the older kiddies became friends!

____

as for the younger babies :

- jimin and tae met on the train

- actually they just battled on the train, they didnt really meet properly until they were both sorted into slytherin

- and by that point they hated each other

- “there can only be ONE troublemaker in this school”

- soooo for about a month into their first year the school was a huge mess of them fighting it out 

- and jungkook had gotten caught in the middle of their first train battle so he already knew and kinda liked them even though they were snakes and he was a lion

- he just kinda liked their vibe

- so one night on his way to the kitchens he came across them fighting it out in the corridor and just kinda interrupted with a litto 

- “uhm,,,, excuse me--”

- and they were like oh shit its that kid from the train that we definitely exploded a pumpkin onto 

- “why dont you guys stop fightng and just work together?? isnt that more fun”

- can you imagine a little jungkook  with a big ass coconut head just kind of casually interrupting a battle between two rabid slytherin idiots and suggesting they work TOGETHER

- bc jimin and tae laughed their asses off

- and then they were like wait a minute the coconut has a point 

- so basically jk is responsible for their entire relationship not fate im calling it rn 

- and they just kept bothering him after that tbh until he said fuck house discrimination im gonna be besties with some slytherins

____

- okay before we get to yoonkook lets talk about y/nkook theyre adorable

- they met bc gryffindor but really they met bc y/n was this cool older girl that was never hanging out with anyone in her actual house and instead was friends with a bunch of ppl in other houses

- and jk was a very shy babie before the thing w jimin and tae, so he had a hard time making friends

- and y/n did actually notice this bc he ate alone and did work alone and would only hang out with two troublemaker slytherins from time to time

- so one day she invited him to sit with her and the older bois during lunch and he was like ???? me????? 

- so he just sat there with his head down and was like eating quietly and kinda listening to them talk and kinda responding to y/n when shed talk to him but really he was quiet and didnt really look at anyone bc he was like why are these second years asking me to eat w them im scared mom come get me

- and when he was done eating his sandwich he was like ok i should go do hw or smth so he was gonna get up

- but then a little hand reached out and put another sandwich on his plate and then a little voice said “dont leave yet !! you barely ate, and lunch isnt over for a while -- stay and talk to us?” and when he looked up

- oh boy we love a yoonkook meeting 

- he was staring at the cUTEST BOY HED EVER SEEN HE ALMOST EXPLODED

- and from that moment on, jungkook was Obsessed 

- and kept asking y/n to sit with them during meals so he could talk to yoongi

- so over time he naturally just became one of them 

- and then at some point jimin and tae were like he ABANDONED US 

- and tried to confront him but it was in the middle of one of jk’s creepy stalking moments so jk just 

- took them with him

- that day, yoongi had three stalkers

- and also caught them

-and he was just like “oh hi friend !! and other friends of friend !!” 

- and it was so cute that for like a week jimin and tae were ALSO obsessed with yoongi

- but theyre not very sneaky so yoongi kept catching them

- and eventually was like “hey do you guys wanna sit with us at lunch??”

- and thus the group was Born

mtmte liveblog issue 36

time travel arccccccccccccc yessssssssss

I have been waiting SO LONG to reread this arc hhhhh yessss

starting off strong with the sexy roller cover. nice

I love the disconnect of ‘orion pax: outlaw’ compared to the last time we saw him in shadowplay where he was orion pax: supercop

he’s still punching people for JUSTICE or whatever so I guess not much has changed

oh my god this is the issue with the many many two-page spreads...the first time I read this issue I didn't realize that was a thing and GOD I was SO fucking confused. there's already a lot going on in this issue/arc but this made things so much worse hvbhjkdfbsk. I powered thru and still managed to understand most of the arc despite reading half this issue out of order (essentially) bc the website I read it on split the pages up and I couldn't tell they were supposed to be doubled (and also I'm dumb so I didn't figure it out)

anyways, the actual issue...windcharger is out here using his powers to rip a dudes arms clean off. wow!

and there's skids getting punched in the face. Ls

and glitch! a totally minor character of course...

MANNNNN I SO adore the panel of all the lost lighters appearing in a cloud of purple smoke, all posing epically....SO fucking good, peak sci-fi coolness vibes, A++

as usual jro killing it w/the titles, ‘elegant chaos’ is such a great name for a time travel arc

also reading the tfwiki has shown me that many of jros titles are song or album titles, to which I say - that's epic and I love it. with jro doing it, I feel like it straddles the line between referencing music and the very fanfic-esque ‘title things after music’ vibe. I love it

oh god I forgot they use bs cybertronian time units in this sometimes lmao...I mean of course they do but still like, what the fuck is a cycle. is that a day. I feel like these words all have no meaning/the meanings change drastically depending on continuity. I cant keep up and also I'm lazy and don't care enough to try

I love rodimus did u know

poor riptide looks so confused lmao

IS....IS REWIND PIGGYBACKING TAILGATE...THATS SO FUCKING CUTE....I cant fully tell bc of the page layout but ooomg so precious. minibot buddies

whirl saying ‘chuff’ just reminded me how british jro is hvbhakjhdsfbs sometimes it just Jumps Out in mtmte and I'm like Oh God Britain Is Real

I really like the mtmte approach to time travel and paradoxes and whatnot. its just complex enough to be interesting but not too convoluted that it bogs down the story. perfect sci-fi fun!

mannnn chromedome talking abt brainstorm :( I'm sad abt those two hhhhh

and I love how at this point, nobody in the cast ACTUALLY knows brainstorm well enough to know what he’s really doing - including chromedome, who’s ostensibly his closest friend, somebody he’s known for a while - and even the readers don't really know what he’s up to...I like the mystery tbh

cant believe rewind wrote orion pax’s biography, omg. completely forgot abt that detail

cd saying ‘I love it when he talks history’ about rewind....hhhh I love cdrw so muuuuch

godddd the line rodimus says abt whirl - how they need people like whirl around who are ‘happy to get in the way’ of danger and death - that shit haunts me man like...rodimus is basically saying that he’s bringing whirl along to potentially die in place of someone like orion pax (nevermind the fact that whirl dying would ALSO fuck up the timeline)...like, how deep does it go?? is he saying that bc he knows whirl has been trying to get himself killed for a while now, or just bc whirl likes violence? mannn I cant...the character intricacies...man

anyways...I love rodimus he’s such an interesting character. you have that fucked up moment and then in the next panel he’s saying ‘if you want to call it a time phone, I wont stop you’ about the quantum walkie-talkie. he has the RANGE

oh and then rodimus casually volunteering chromedome to do mnemosurgery on anyone who might accidentally find out about them time traveling, which is again fucked up on multiple levels. the raaaaange

vjaksbhdhfusajbfdjk that panel of the lost light squad just standing there like idiots reminds me of that post where someone said abt that panel ‘these characters have a collective 3 brain cells’ or something hvbjadkfnksfdl

rodimus IMMEDIATELY breaking his own rules by trying to reassure pax that they're good guys by pointing at his autobot badge, even tho the autobots DONT EVEN EXIST YET at this point...my boy PLEASE go purchase some brain cells from the store 

and the fact that rodimus introduced himself to pax w/his real name...shouldn't he go by an alias or st??? that seems like a good time travel rule since optimus and rodimus definitely know each other later 

and like, did they not anticipate that some of the people in the past would recognize some of the lost lighters hgbajkhdjfnjksf like cd and whirl get Instantly recognized...great job guys

they are all SO bad at this hvbahskjdhfbasjkf I cantttt luckily for them the orion crew is handing them easy alibis 

‘the dugout’ is that a baseball reference????

also I love the scenery here, the bg looks like rock but there's metal piping and stuff running thru it, its so cool...really adds to the whole ‘cybertron biomes are made of metal’ thing

‘ancient history’ rodimus are you KIDDING ME-

cyclonus time travels to the past and IMMEDIATELY finds a window to stare broodingly out of. icon

tailgate thinking orion pax is SUPER COOL continues here from shadowplay and I love it...tailgate is so cute

and the tg saying ‘don't you think that's awesome, cyclonus?’ hhhhh so cute

one reason I love this arc so much is that this is the arc where the gay Really amps up 

TRAILBREAKER.... oh man ;_;

are you telling me that this outlaw base they're in has ONE bed for all of these people. what the hell vhbaksjhfnsal

cant believe rung sampled roller’s steroid juice box

also cant believe robot steroids exist. except yes I can and I love it

oooh roller’s a 0/1%er? I forgot abt that 

cant believe orion pax just grabs some random phone that belongs to these weird new people and answers it. WHO does that

goddddd megatron and orion’s conversation....destroy me

HHHHHH like...the HISTORY....the regret...the missed opportunities...its all so palpable....goddddddd

and of COURSE, the whole thing is steeped in tragedy...the ideological differences that will become the foundation for a 4 million year long war...megatron, who believes that you need to burn things down and start again to really make change stick, and then orion, who says ‘reform is the answer, not revolution’....AUGHHH the intricacies. mannnn

‘you sound lost’ 😭😭😭

‘its tragic.’ yeah, that about sums up their relationship, especially at this stage and in this continuity 

anyways. [cries about old man megatron talking to young naïve orion pax] goodbye

AUGHHH and then we jump to rodimus ONCE AGAIN breaking his own rules and trying to save trailbreaker...IT HURTS MAN...god I love rodimus, I feel like him being broken up about crewmembers like trailbreaker dying is one part regular sadness over people he knows dying for tragic reasons, and one part personal guilt at someone under his command dying, even if he’s not involved/at fault. I love the dichotomy of this emotional reaction that comes only partially from empathy/emotion, but also comes from a kinda self-centered need for success as measured by people under your command staying alive. and taking into account rodimus’s life it totally makes sense that he’d act like that...GAH I love it. the complexity of it all!

orion pax saying ‘you should read [megatron]. it’s powerful stuff’ I'm screaming, so many LAYERSSSSS

I fucking love time travel AHHHHHHHHH like the opportunity for interactions like these....chefs kiss

‘hey, best friend! miss you!’ rodimus is such a shit hvbdajkfksjhfd 

‘very sus’ rodimus ahead of his time w/the among us lingo

oooh and then they realize that the senate is trying to kill the sparks...gotta save the babies!

tailgate scolding cyclonus for bluntly stating that you'd wanna be subtle when killing newborns...hhhvbhsdfhhhhhh I love them sm

ooooh and rewind has an interesting suggestion - that the senate is actually trying to irradiate the sparks into being outliers...rewind is so smart I love him

and the fact that he’s using history from his database...love it

rodimus sending cyclonus and whirl out like pokemon

ROLLER NOOOO DONT GO OUT THERE

also wow this is literally the 5th (I think) double page spread in this issue...the confusion I felt the first time I read this...lmao 

and now this is literally one of my favorite issues so I'm glad I know what's going on lmao

oh man rodimus telling cd not to erase trailbreakers memory even tho that could jeopardize the entire timeline... :( 

oh man I didn't even notice but roller getting debris blasted into his face like that makes the whole ‘roller is tarn’ theory even more legit considering tarn’s face scars....

‘tighter the better’ hhh don't say that orion. but also, that’s the companion phrase to megatron saying ‘the deeper the better’ hvbhasjkhdfbaksjlf

I do love the semi-campy action hero antics that orion pax gets up to. its just so fun, even when the stakes are high and things are serious

‘this is the greatest thing I have ever seen’ tg ily

THE REVEAL THAT THE SPARKS WENT TO NYON...so rodimus just saved himself, basically...time travel is so trippy

GODDDD ND THEN TRAILBREAKER...HVHHHHHh 😭😭😭 THATS SO CRUEL MAN

oh man that last panel of trailbreaker holding up roller’s juice box...iirc the first time I read this I thought that was roller (cause of the juice box I guess? idk I'm an idiot) so I was like oh ok he must've come back or something. very much related but I didn't really think about tarn being a particular pre-established character and totally didn't read the whole ‘roller is tarn’ thing that was going on 

which in my defense ruth also didn't pick up on any of that while reading this and eventually like 2 issues before the reveal I had to prompt her like ‘you should maybe be wondering WHO tarn is’ vhbahjksdfbaksjdf

so! issue 37! this issue is a solid favorite of mine, id say definitely top 5 or even 3. I'm super biased bc I fucking LOVE time travel, it’s seriously one of my favorite tropes ever, and this issue hits all the time travel beats I love. characters traveling to the past and interacting with people they know! conversations that have multiple meanings bc of TIME TRAVEL! trying to save someone who meets a terrible fate in your future! fun time travel action! the time traveling characters being generally terrible at hiding the fact that they're time travelers! ITS SO GOOD. 

and I love the clever way everything is tied together here - where we get a nice continuation of shadowplay, with this taking place shortly after that with a lot of the same cast, and time travel classics like the good ole ‘if we hadn't travelled back in time and done what we did, the future we came from wouldn't have existed at all,’ in the flavor of ‘rodimus saving his baby self’ and ‘rodimus NOT saving trailbreaker’ and ‘everyone forgot about roller :(’ 

ok but like, did the lost lighters just go ‘oh well, guess rollers gone now.’ like they DID realize that the outlaw crew would have no idea what happened to him if they got their memories erased, right?? did the lost lighters figure that since roller never reappeared after this time period, that was how history was ‘supposed’ to go and they shouldn't mess with it? am I overthinking it? as usual: yes, probably. I love overthinking about comics, in case that wasn't obvious

basically...I love this issue soooo much. so so good and a bunch of fun tropes that I love. I mean the whole arc is like that for me since I love time travel so much. so I cant wait to (re)read more!!

pov: when you can smell the end like a bitter bitter coffee

i met li in an online dating app. we have been exchanging messages (thoughts) for more than a month now. from the get-go, we made plans of meeting after both are vaccinated (for safety reasons). she also made it very clear that she's in an open-relationship and has a girlfriend. i'm okay with it, i just got out of a long term relationship myself and not in a hurry to be in one again. i guess, i just didn't expect that i could like her tremendously. that the feelings could be so overwhelming and i had to say it aloud - to her: i like you. because you're the coolest person i've known. because youre smart. and cute. and you hear me. you saw me. you made me feel like the coolest weirdo in the world.

anyway, she had to tell the girlfriend that i like her because open relationship. lol. i don't know if she ever got to telling her but suddenly, there are issues with the girlfriend that has nothing to do with me. so i continued on with a prickle of hope that we can go on like before, with little subtle but visible upgrade in our relationship (she did mention those words though: upgrade, relationship). i thought it allowed me to freely make "landi"with/pursue her since becoming made aware of how i'm feeling. the opposite happened.

edmond dantes said "all human wisdom is contained in these 2 words - wait and hope". so i stayed away for days - made excuses that she must be busy with the thesis or that she's with the girlfriend. I mean i'm not both so i don't exactly breathe the same urgency (thesis) or importance (the gf). when all are seemingly fixed, the days of quiet came.

my tg isn't enthusiastically pinging like before. her replies are far in between, one liners that shuts down all my thought-out topics. one day, i'm just not receiving the discussion invites, the eager shares of "you must check this out". gone are the reminders that she thought of me in a day.

i can call her out. i can say: what the actual shit is wrong with you?

in my head, i tell her that. on repeat.

the dreadful waiting game makes me question my sanity and decisions and decision-making skills. i should have ghosted her when i can. i should've run at the first mention of a girlfriend. i cringe when i remember that i shouldered on despite the confessed intensity of feelings for the girlfriend. but i come upon coffee after coffee on my feed - and i hang in here, pretending i'm checking my phone because of some legit reason (i.e. how clocks captured time movement albeit arbitrarily - so i glance at my phone and it's 9:20 when seconds ago it was 9:19. ha!).

and in this space i still wait. until the day that there will be no more.

mag-mata ka na byanx!

the good thing about bitter coffee is that it slaps you to awake-dom. it's honest and direct and without drama. i wish i could say the same thing to this inevitable end.

I’ll write my opinions in the order the novels came out (even though I read them the other way around). It’s a mess and honestly I’m forgetting a lot of things I want to say.

SV/SSS:

It’s the shortest of the three stories, yet it doesn’t feel like you’re robbed of stuff. Mostly everything gets resolved. The plot is interesting and the characters are two dimensional (as opposed to the original novel). One of the complaints about the original novel written by Airplane [...] is that the villains are dumb and don’t have depth, they just are evil. But thanks to plot filling, you’re able to see that they in fact are all complicated and you can’t even manage to hate the original scum villain or protagonist.

The extras are my favorite of the three novels. Since the novel by itself doesn’t focus on other characters too much, they get some character development in them. It would have been nice if they were included in the main story, but I can see why they aren’t. The story would deviate and then with so many extra plots you’d get lost, so I think they work great as extras.

Romance wise is okay. You’ll see Luo Bing//He’s feelings since almost the beginning but as for Shen Qing//Qiu.... it’s not too obvious. I mean you can definitely see when he starts worrying about him and when he accepts the other’s love, but because he is a tsundere it can be a bit hard to believe he’s actually in love with him (a lot of times it looks more like he just loves him as a disciple.) So while the romance is there since early on, it’s not too overbearing and you can definitely overlook it on one side. Also let’s not talk about how it can definitely be problematic (master-disciple, a forceful top with anger issues, etc), but overall I do like the ship. Also this is the only novel that has a second canon ship, isn’t it? That’s nice.

MD/ZS:

The plot captivated me immediately when I read the synopsis, yet I felt it didn’t live up to its name. I felt like it was too much of a simplistic plot, and it’s so early when you find out who’s the boss and the reasons, I kept thinking it was too easy and there was going to be a twist. And.... it was definitely too easy, there’s not even a final confrontation or anything. And sure, there is a twist that I loved so much, but it was only in passing. It was like just explained as; ‘oh wait, isn’t this what happened?’ So it left me a bit disappointed. Also.... it had a lot of flashbacks, like half of the story were flashbacks and the other half was in the present. It could be fine, but it just happened whenever and sometimes there were even flashbacks in the flashbacks so I think it was a bit messy.

What I did love a lot about it is the main topic of “not everything is white and black” because if you think about it there was no character that solely did evil things, they all had reasons (not to say they were justified of course). The side characters were more developed than in the previous novel too. Also ngl the SiZhui story plot is what basically made the story for me.

The extras were okay, but they feel like all of them are just about the main couple having sex, which I guess it’s okay for some people but they disappointed me slightly.

Romance wise, I think this is the one with the least romance. The three novels are told by the ‘bottoms’ and the three of them are quite oblivious at first, yet you can infer the ‘tops’ are super dedicated to them. But because of Lan Wang//Ji personality you barely see he’s in love with him until it’s basically spelt out. I guess this is more the fault of an unreliable narrator, but in this case I felt the romance was barely there. In the other two stories the romance is basically part of the main plot, yet here is more on the side, more like a support (which is nothing bad! It’s nice that it wasn’t thrown in your face all the time), so that’s the reason why I felt like the sex scenes were kinda needed here, to make up for the lacking romance.

TG/CF:

In general this is my favorite novel for many reasons. At first it seems like it doesn’t have a plot in concrete and it’s just Xie L/ian going around resolving cases, so I can see why people say it’s just “filler”, but in my case that’s one of the reasons why I love it. It starts slow but little by little the world unravels, you’re able to see how heaven and the ghost realm works, how heavenly officials can be corrupt too and how ghosts can do good deeds. Same as in the other two, not everything is black and white. Since it’s a long novel you’re able to learn a lot about side characters and see their reasonings and everything. Honestly there’s no character I don’t like, they’re all complex. (The other two novels have certain characters that are a bit hard to like). Also while it’s long and has many side plots it never feels like a drag, yet you can definitely get a bit lost with so many things going out. The reason why it doesn’t feel like an arc starts and then ends and another starts is because not everything gets resolved right away, and while that helps the story to keep cohesion sometimes you end up forgetting what was the issue in the first place or overlook certain things. This book has a lot of flashbacks too but in this case I thought they were better presented. I remember that when I was in book 2 I realized the whole book was going to be flashbacks and I felt a bit disappointed and tried to read faster so I could go back to the present, but by the end of the book I didn’t even care about that, I was too immersed in the story that it didn’t feel like a whole book had passed. (Plus both book 2 and 4 are actually short). Out of the three novels I cried the most with this one, yet the three are tragic enough.

The relationship between the characters (barring the main couple bc that comes later) is also really nice and complex. Honestly all these characters are so well developed.

The extras are good too, but it’s a shame there are so little, however I understand. Since the story is already long and basically includes the backstories of many characters there’s not much that could be added, and it was cute to see the main couple being a couple. However wouldn’t it have been nice to have a side story about SQX and his current fate?? Let me dream

Romance wise, oh boy. One of the first things I read about this novel was that people kept saying that ‘Hua//Lian invented love’ and it’s definitely not an overreaction. The romance is amazing. It’s there since they met and I’m sure there’s no scene where Hua Ch//eng is not flirting with Xie L//ian. Of course because it’s from XL’s pov it’s not super obvious, but then you realize that everybody else sees it like this. In any case, the whole novel is oozing with flirting and cute scenes but it’s not overbearing. This is the only novel to not include sex scenes and, while I would have welcomed them, the story definitely doesn’t need them. It’s so obvious the main characters are in love even before their first kiss. (Though okay, XL realizes he likes HC while they’re making out.) anyway!!! While I read a lot of romance and I love shipping, I’m super picky with it too. I hate romance when it comes out of nothing and it’s thrown in your face and when it’s super forced, but here??? Not at all. Here I love it so so so much. HC’s devotion really makes this story.

In conclusion, I loved the three novels for different reasons though I do have favorites. I recommend them 100%. Watching/reading the other adaptations is nice too, but the novels are superior.
