#with real people it's like: ehhhhh I don't know you that well and even if I did I don't see us as more than friends

[unma]

I wonder if my ever growing love for writing couples cuddling and being intimate has something to do with the fact that I too would love to be held lovingly and reassured that the person I love loves me.

Or maybe it isn't. I've done enough of ignoring my inner feelings on things, so why stop now?

[obeyme-lost-thought]

The little girl

Self-indulge AU to give me some motivation and write something because I literally disappeared (and you all duplicate, like, what 120?!).

Something happened with Barbatos's power and a teenager girl come out from a different timeline... the problem are her mother and uncles.

________________________________

As she was standing on the ground, her gaze was analysing every single one of them. Not even her Rad uniform could sell her as a demon, as she had a very particular Aura that could seem everything except demonic.

"Is she.."

"An Angel" - "A Human"

A perfect balance come form the girl, as if Heaven and Earth were both inside her.

"Eh-... Ehhhhh. What happened ? Why am I on the ground? Weren't us talking about the exchange students program? And why are you all here?"

A sweet voce that expressed surprise and fear filled the Council Room. Of course, no questions could had been asked if the girl continued to panic, so, trying to go on with what they thought was a delirium, Diavolo started to speak and try to calm her.

"Exchange students program? Are you maybe an exchange student? "

"Wha- what? Of course I am. It was you, Lord Diavolo, to specifically ask for me as one of the two representatives of my realm"

"I'm sorry to inform you, but here nobody has ever heard about you"

"Ehhhh. Is it a form of joke ?! How can you say that with them behind you?"

While the strange girl and the Prince were both trying to understand what the other was saying, the "problem's origin" had a open book near him, and after seeing what it was about (and its power), some questions found their answers.

"So, are you saying that Barbatos, the one and only perfect butler of hell, messed up with his power and so I'm in a different time line with a different story ?"

"Pretty much, yes, that how it went"

"But if I can say my thought, young master, the culprit isn't me, but the one who left open a dangerous book, hopping that somebody touched it "

At the and of the sentence, a guilty Satan looked at the butler, whispering a sorry.

"Anyway, leaving out guilty or punishment, how can I go back in my timeline?"

"That... the problem. To know the exactly timeline in which I have to send you back, I have to know the reason why it's... different(?)"

"Well, honestly from what I'm seeing, there are a lot of different things, precisely 7/8 people"

"It's not about people, but about event, so it isn't easy as you think"

...

Silence

No one try to talk, as for knowing what is the difference, one of the two part had to tell the other one all the secret and events that take them in th Council Room.

"Well, why don't she try to stay here some week and wait for one of us to found out the difference? No say every single event of our life. No problem. Only the one which change our time line. When we found out, Barbatos can send her in this moment of her timeline."

"That... a good idea Mc. She can stay at Purgatory Hall."

That how, somehow, a temporary solution was found out, and the girl as been living in this Devildom for quite a month.

From her words, she's more older than what Solomon thought, but at the same time she's more younger that what Simeon thought.

For some reason she's half angel and half human, but she doesn't want to say who are her parents, as she swear that only the one who she trusts a lot can know, making clear that she still wary of them.

Her name is Rachel as it mean ewe or lamb and was a way for her mother to ask protection form God for her. This implemented that her birth wasn't well accepted in Celestial Ream. But the real reason why she specified it was for MC, a true lamb.

For all the time she was as been there, the more asked questions was about the brothers and MC. The latter, actually, was more about their nature, similar to her as they also emitted both angelic and human energy. But that was also a secret that nobody wanted to say.

In this way, a game of questions, lie, answer and secrets started, while everyone become more fond of the girl.

The relationship with Rachel and the brothers was very strange. She always felt safe with them, even if no things were made for make her feel this way. And they didn't hate if this other lamb wanted to pass her time with them. Lucifer and the Twins especially felt very protective, not that the others were more different. Stargazing with Belphi were became a daily to-do, as cooking with Beel. Lucifer started to ask her for some favor, having a lot of trust in her. Reading time with Satan or Levi (with manga of course) ... go out to shopping with Asmo... or helping Mammon get some money in a legal way. A strong bond created, thing that surprised the brothers but not Rachel.

As 2 month passed and trust grow bigger, the 2 parts chose to answer onesty one question. Because they are more, Brothers and MC were the firsts to answer, not knowing that it would be enough to found out the true.

"Let just say that I'm curious and I saw a so much difference that I don't have an actually question. So, MC, why are you... this way?"

"Well, it's difficult to explain... do you know the angel Lilith?"

"Why? Of course I know her... and very very well"

"Better this way. I'm the descent of the former angel Lilith"

....

A sad face appear on the girl.

"What... what do you mean former?"

Simeon, that with Diavolo and Barbatos was also there, said what nobody wanted to.

"Rachel... Lilith is dead"

Tears start to fall form eyes that watch and analyse every one as the first day that she was there.

"Again, what do you all mean? Dead?

As the girl continues to ask always the same question about his sister, Mammon lose his cool and scream against her.

"YES, SHE'S DEAD. THAT IT, SO STOP WITH ALL THIS QUESTIONS. IT'S OUR TOURN"

But still, even a louder voice didn't stopped her. And so, in a sound full of pain, an important part of the puzzle slipped form her lips.

"AGAIN, WHAT DO YOU ALL MEAN? MY MOTHER ISN'T DEAD"

On Mammon, holding him from the collar of the shirt, both of them stopped to scream to cach their breath.

"I- I... mother?"

No answer.

"Can I... can I ask another question? It was the second one in my list... Why- why are you a demon uncle Mammon?"

Let's not say more on the discussion, as everyone didn't actually said anything more, and for good 10 minutes stayed in the pose they had before. More questions were added and not even Belphagor sleeped the night.

In the morning, everyone more calm, the one and only things that was needed to be known started to have a form.

"So... you are Lilith's daughter" Asked Lucifer with a rather sweet voice for the situation

"And here mom died" Rachel said.

....

Mammon break the silent: "We fought against our father to protect our sister, and loosed. That why we are demons". Words that wanted to answer the question of the day before.

"My ... uncles also fought for mom and me, but not against grandpa"

"Your father... who is he?"

"I- I don't know my father. He died for a lliines"

"Here, our Lilith, tried to save his lover, probably your dad, with angelic food. That why she was doomed from God"

"Ah... I think I know the difference between our timeline.."

Before starting to talk again, Rachel take a deep breath.

"My mother wanted to save dad the same way she did here, but she couldn't because she was already pregnant... with me.

Having an child with a human, mom called me the way she did hopping to get God's approval for my existence. As he never said anything, I was accepted in the Celestial Realm.

Still, older angels were against it and so a war started. It was already declared the winner, as Uncle Lucifer had help form the other Serafin and his precious brother. Only one time me and mom end up in a very dangerous situation, and Uncle became so angry that Uncle Satan born, not as a demon, avatar of wart, but as an angel, protector of human hybrids.

With the start of the exchange students program, Lord Diavolo asked expecially for me, as I was a representative of both realm... and that explain why I was in the Council Room 2 months ago"

... Nobody tried to say anything or ask something alse. But Leviathan felt the true form his brothers... jealousy. A timeline where they were all together. Where their family was happy and alive.

What no one knew was Diavolo's relief for having Lucifer, or Barbatos choosing this timeline as his reality because it was the most convenient for the Prince. Or Mc's fear of a world where they never met everyone.

And in the end, no more things come out, as Rachel wanted more than before come back in her timeline, and Barbatos didn't lose time in sending her back.

________________________________

X: How many story want to create that have a new character or some reference to Lilith ?

Me: Yes

It was an Au that I wanted to perfect and make it a fanfiction, but I never was able to do it, so single post where I try to explain it as best as possible.

For any grammatical errors, tell it to my clock (3:00 am).

[3rddimension]

Ok unless the anonymous coworker confession abt somebody needing to wife up s was a sly reference to how s and c need to get engaged already, I feel like it was kinda rude.. It's already kinda invasive and awkward to bring up seemingly a crush in a workplace environment, but especially refering to a coworker who everyone knows is dating someone else among them like?? HUH

Ngl it was pretty clearly off-base and not totally welcome judging by:

1)s's face before reading it out loud, and how Kiana knew it was an uncomfy one so she specifically said to him "don't skip that one" so he agreed to read it

2)c's face when she realized these are crew confessions and not fans and asked "this came from here??" she seemed kinda offended but ultimately brushed it off lol

But at the end of the day our favs are professionals and they let it slide off their backs real quick, with S doing a callback to Arasha and blaming Luke for submitting it, still pretty tone deaf confession if you ask me

Ehhhhh. I think you're reading into the confession too much tbh. It's probably a joke or even if it's not a joke it's probably from newer people that was joining Smosh. I don't think we need to be serious with those confession and everyone in the livestream know it.

From people I know that are a couple and working together, they only focus on working and trying to not spend their free time together at work. It's basically not the time to being cute and affectionate. It's also very unprofessional as well. So I can totally see that newer people that was just joined Smosh would not have a clue at all since they're also not posting anything on their social media as well.

[themarginalthinker]

For Jack: 23, 18, 13 58. For Kenzo: 56, 51, 43, 37. For Cole and Jay: 1, 19, 21, 32 :>

OKAY HERE WE GO PEOPLE all of these are ocs for oc projects! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!

Jack:

23. What do they feel guilty for, even if the other person doesn't remember: Jack as a character both feels a lot of guilt, and almost none at all, at times. I think Jack tries to justify his actions to himself, and will usually do the right thing, but when he messes up, moves on fairly quickly. There are times when he does feel guilty, and it's usually when the other person is doing something for him, but he's not reciprocating. (Such as telling truths, or revealing deep secrets.)

18. Who do they love, 100% unconditionally, if anyone: Kenzo :3 of course. Though, it certainly didn't start out that way. First it was just 'that weird friendly book nerd with the cute but annoying spirit cat, and then became...well, spoilers, but they ended up together, and let's hear it for ace attraction, baby! Jack will also kill for his friends. (pleas ask him to kill for his friends......)

13. When do they fake a smile, and how often: Usually when he absolutely must - Jack HATES playing politics and trying to play nice for people in positions of power. (I apologize for the alliteration). His fake smiles fail most charisma and bluff checks, to say the least. However, he's very good at hiding his real emotions, or at least obfuscating them enough to put people off the trail.

58. How many hobbies have they attempted? Is there a common theme: Ehhhhh Jack, despite being my slightly adhd baby, doesn't pick up hobbies that much in my mind? The most I can see him do is whittling/little carving projects when on long trips. He makes little sphere shaped animal trinkets for the funsies, and often just leaves them random places. He does like to tinker though, so I can see him, after the events of Quillguard, getting more invested in combining magic and mechanical creations. Jack seems to like small, intricate parts - he'd probably like puzzles or Rube Goldberg marble-track art pieces.

Kenzo:

56: If they're scared, who do they want comfort from? Does the answer change depending on the type of fear:The first person he goes to isn't actually a person at all! It's Yuna, his little spirit cat! She's been with him since he was a young child, and has acted as his guardian, helper, and companion for well over a decade now. Yuna isn't just a friend, either, she's also capable of some serious offensive magic (though, to enact it, Kenzo must be pushed to the limit of his own abilities, and she's acting more like a flight/fight response.)

The next runner up would probably be Articulate the wyrm. As Kenzo's legal guardian, he knows that if he's got a big problem, he can always turn to the old dragon for advice, and Articulate will usually offer an amount of comfort where he can. Though, given his age, his own duties, and his lack of...human...ness, Articulate is sometimes a tad awkward, and is more like 'pat pat, there there, boy' with Kenzo.

The newest person this list is...Jack. :> Though, for Plot Reasons, Kenzo finds some things difficult to discuss fully with Jack.

51. What's a phrase they say a lot: I'm not actually sure lol. I don't think we've written enough of him to say with that specificity, (a crime!) however, I do think something he starts off his sentences with a LOT, is "You know..." bc just like Articulate, he's a little reader.

43. What do they commonly misinterpret because of their own upbringing/environment/biases? How do they respond when realizing the misunderstanding: Kenzo, despite his usual calm, serine nature, is actually a fairly anxious individual inside. It doesn't come out a whole lot thanks to his various coping skills and strategies, and also tendency to be one step ahead BECAUSE of that anxious nature, but sometimes, he encounters something or someone who will take him back to a very, very bad time in his life, and it spooks him. He will then avoid the person or situation, and sometimes this causes conflicts. There is also, despite Kenzo's general intellectual abilities and objectivity, a very small proclivity for being TOO objective. Or. At least thinking he is. Once he believes he's got an answer for something, he usually thinks it's the RIGHT answer for the thing, and it will take a very large shift in evidence or justification to change that.

He also has the tendency to completely remove himself from the situation if he learns he is, in fact, wrong about it. He won't engage with it anymore, choosing the total opposite of thinking he's completely right - simply not acknowledging the thing At All.

37. What's a secret they haven't told serious romantic partners and don't plan to tell: Wouldn't you and the rest of the cast love to know ;) But, one that's a little less plot-spoilery is that he knows a bit more about Briar's identity than he lets on.

Cole and Jay!

1.What is a lie they say most often: For Jay, it's literally "I'm fine." Jay is not fine. Jay is the opposite of fine. If 'fine' were the sun, Jay would be in the Oort Cloud. But he's sitting on it though. He can be Not Fine once they're out of this fucking mad-scientist test tube lab.

For Cole, it's "She'll never forgive me." Yes, this is still a lie. Because in reality, it's him who will never forgive himself.

19. What would they do if stuck in a room with the person they've been avoiding: Cole would attempt to just not speak, look-at, or interact with the person in any way, shape, or form. Mostly because he knows the moment they try to interact with him, it's over. They're Having a Conflict, because he can't not respond, which is WHY HE'S BEEN AVOIDING THEM.

Jay would try to keep interaction to a minimum, but also can't take the fucking silence, so he may actually try and resolve things, but is so fucking awkward about it. He'd keep testing the door handle just to see if it magically opens this time.

21. What common etiquette do they disagree with? Do they still follow it: Cole will not take his shoes off indoors, unless he's in his own room, or staying for longer than an hour. You can vacuum the carpet, his shoes aren't dirty, what's the fucking issue. He will be made to take them off if you hit him WITH a shoe first.

Jay stands too close to people in lines at stores and the like. He doesn't seem to know he's doing it.

32. If they committed one petty crime/misdemeanor, what would it be and why: You assume either of these boys have only ever committed one crime lmao. I suppose the LEAST of the Things they have Done, would be something quite small. Jay has stolen from the store before, though usually nothing very big. (Mostly because he knows he can get away with it, and even if he IS caught, the penalty would match the value of the item, and he's not willing to potentially pay more for something he didn't want to pay for at all.)

Cole has - done graffiti in the lab, stolen and snuck back to his cell everything from pipettes to whole pieces of equipment that cost more than a good car, stolen a car, ATTEMPTED to steal a car, attempted homicide (not a misdemeanor, but he didn't manage to do it, so it counts), faked his own identity multiple times, and changed the gender signs on the restrooms.

He does it because are YOU going to stop him?

[secret-engima]

I just had an Absolute Brainwave. I share it with you! Ozpin (maybe post-merge with Oscar so it's him instead?) reincarnates in, of all places, BnHA. Does he keep his magic? Does he have a Quirk? What generation does he incarnate into? Does he become a Hero? If so, what kind? Limelight, Undergorund? Does he go Vigilante instead? Does he drop most of his marbles down a storm drain and decide to try on his Comical Villain Hat for shits and giggles to mess with Baby Heroes?

*slaps table* YES. Ozpin, not post merge Oscar because consider-

Ozpin *and* Oscar reincarnated separately, Oscar young enough to be Ozpin's adopted kid, which he totally becomes. But that's a thought for later.

Ozpin reincarnates in the generation of hmmmm. I'm torn. Aizawa's or All Might's generation could be fascinating, but it could also be *really* fun if he was in younger generation. Like Hawks' and Dabi's. Either way, Ozpin is technically quirkless? But nobody knows that because his newly restored magic followed him into this life (it followed him through every lifetime during his curse, of course it follows him to his last life). Everybody thinks it's a quirk of some kind and arguments on what it is are *fierce*. Is it energy manipulation? Illusions? Element kinesis??? NOBODY KNOWS and reports are majorly conflicting.

And look. LOOK. Ozpin is in no way a villain. He has never been and never will be. But what he IS, is a very wounded soul with strong opinions and lifetimes of training that tells him to work from the shadows, don't let people know.

He 100% registered in the Hero Commission as a villain. But all of the Underground heroes who know him and all the decent Vigilantes are like- ehhhhh *so-so hands* and continue to work with him on the sly, because while he's enigmatic and secretive, he is *good* and he has always prioritized lives even more than some spotlight heroes do. His only "villain" status is that he uses his quirk freely to achieve his goals and he kinda gently tap-dances back and forth over the line of legality depending on his mood and what will get the best results for his current project.

And, you know, he is vocally opposed to the current version of hero society and how quirks are smothered and discriminated against and like- he could work to change that from inside the system. But he's done "inside the system" before. It takes literal lifetimes and he no longer has the patience for that. Better to gently poke and prod from the outside until there are others poking back from the inside.

Also let it be known that his real identity as Ozpin is 100% a secret. He has a villain identity for all of this (probably something tongue in cheek like the Wizard of Oz or the Green Wizard or something) but his civilian identity is not only above board but well liked by what spotlight heroes he knows. Including Nezu.

Nezu totally knows Ozpin is the mastermind villain running around lately, but he also knows that his plans always *benefit* people and he's a gremlin mouse-rat-ermine-thing who finds it hysterical. They often sit over tea and talk circles around each other. Ozpin can beat Nezu at checkers and chess through sheer experience and Nezu loves it. He keeps trying to hire Ozpin as a teacher for U.A., yes, even when Ozpin was a teenager.

Also note that if Ozpin is in Aizawa's or All Might's gen, then Oscar is in Izuku's gen. But if Ozpin is in Hawk's gen, then Oscar is baby like Eri.

Wahahaha! A shark!? At the festival? How'd you get up here, eh, Murasame-san? Yoooo! Grab a peach, give it a nice chomp, and dance with us!

Spoilers, I guess...

-Jawsome.

-Spell it Jawsum and that'd be an Omori reference!

-Good morning baby shark.

-Oh, you fast.

-Oh, they free.

-"I'm tired :("

-Awww, poor thing.

-Soooo, is it like an inverse of Kou of the Howling Star? A kid in the sword being guided along by somebody outside of the sword?

-"This guy is cringe, can we fire him?"

-"I'm speaking for you, Dog Man!"

-...to be fair, Tsubasa absolutely would kick Jirou out given the opportunity.

-Aaaaah, Don Kaito

-"Sorry, you're not kicking him out."

-Hey buddy!

-"I just wanna be your partner :)"

-Aw, that's nice.

-Well, at least he had a chance.

-OH FUCK A YOU-FOE!

-KAITO FELL FOR IT HJVLJKGJL

-So that's Don Murasame.

-The shak.

-Oh my god, he's about to commit an assassination

-"Jump rope!"

-I can't help but imagine what these other delivery dudes feel. Like "Oh fuck, it's one of Momoi's friends. Everybody just act like you don't see them, they'll be gone in a bit."

-Oh, everybody's comin' for him now!

-My man really did 1000 jumps.

-"We're gonna get his ass."

-Ayyy, Sononi!

-"Love wins. Friendship. ...Friendship, again?"

-It'll never not be funny having somebody like Tsubasa be so dedicated to the power of love and friendship.

-Tsuyoshi has Sneak 100.

-"Mmmmm, bean sprout."

-Yomi of the Crimson Squad would be proud.

"Excellent work, Tsuyoshi my boy! You truly are... Miho-san's little pog champ. Now, let us indulge in bean sprout heaven together, as brothers in arms! Wahahahahahaha!"

-He just wants somebody to be proud of him.

-200 steps!

-Oh my god, he's snipin'.

-"Unrequited love", huh?

-Daaamn! That boy's got a frisbee arm!

-Instantly exercising!

-Ohhhh.

-Yeah, Haruka, gettem!

-"Aw shucks, Haruka Kito, award winning manga author, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Japan's top fashion model for the fifth year in a row! Ain't that the peachy keenest gosh darn thing you've ever done for me! I'm gonna buy five copies of your latest manga for 10 thousand yen a pop!

-"Holy shit, this is the first time a woman has given me anything other than a signature or noise complaint! I'm gonna savor these!"

"SNEAK ATTACK!"

-Ah, that's nice, Jirou's a real bro. Spottin' Haruka, even despite her contempt for him.

-Oh hey, Sonoi.

-"Let's have a superhero contest. ...I don't know what we're winning, I just really wanna help people."

-Package time~!

-"Oh, don't mind him, he's my boyfriend. He once stabbed me."

-You certainly are stylin'.

-This isn't the weirdest date I've seen two guys on.

-Wow, they got sonned.

-"C'mon, ya'll! Squat!"

-Good morning, Murasame. :)

-How are you doin' today, buddy?

-Ahhhh, Papa Jin!

-He's nervous, huh? I'd be too, Jirou.

-"Ehhhhh, well."

-"Gii, the rhinoceros beetle."

-...I sure hope this isn't anything super sensitive for Tarou, that'd suck.

-...why "Gii-chan" ourple

-"MY SON"

-"MY BEETLE BOY! WHERE IS HE"

-Oh my God, that's so cruel

-"My beetle boy... where are you ;;"

-"My beetle boy :("

-Oh my God, you're making him cry so much.

-Oh, there they be.

-Ooooooh, I love the colors.

-WHAT'S UP!

-Don Murasame.

-Baller as hell.

-Das a ninja!

-"Beat him up for Mommy, okay Murasame-chan?"

-"OH GODDAMMIT I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF DOGGIN'"

-Oh, shark vanish!

-Wow, this thing is cool.

-Alter Time!

-Don Mura... Same? As in Shark?

-Oh goddammit. Inoue.

-They got the shark.

Title: Second-Year Valentine's Day

Author: meiberry

Fandom: Kenkyo Kenjitsu

Pairing: EnjouXReika

«────── « ⋅ʚ♡ɞ⋅ » ──────»

"No. I'm not going to take it. It's going to make me sleepy. Plus it tastes like soap."

The muffled voice of Yukino came from beneath the covers. The IV drip tube poked out from the ball of sheets in the hospital bed.

Shuusuke sighed at his little brother's stubborn actions. Good thing he came prepared for this. "Yukino. Kisshouin-san wrote you a letter."

The ball of sheets shifted, and Yukino's head popped out from beneath the covers, his doe peering up at Enjou in surprise. "...Reika-oneesama?"

Shuusuke held up a small pink envelope with "Yukino-kun" written in neat handwriting in the center. Yukino reached for it when Shuusuke swept it back out of reach with a gentle smile.

"..." Sullenly, Yukino obediently drank the medicine. Watching as he finished it, Shuusuke patted his head and handed him a glass of water with a piece of candy to take care of the medicine's bitter aftertaste. Yukino popped the candy in his mouth with one hand and eagerly held out the other, looking up at Shuusuke expectantly. Shuusuke handed him the letter and watched as his little brother opened it earnestly.

In the beginning, Shuusuke was pretty surprised to see him get along so well with an older girl. Usually, Yukino was not so nice. He was a really smart kid for his young age, and many older girls had been trapped by his soft, harmless facade only to be humiliated and insulted beyond repair. But recently, Shuusuke found that with Kisshouin, Yukino seemed to genuinely act like his appearance.

Shuusuke could see why. Kisshouin clearly didn't have any ulterior motives when speaking to Yukino. Older girls usually saw Yukino as a means to an end. If they weren't patronizing then they were obsequious, obviously trying to use the younger brother to get to the older one. But when it came to Kisshouin… if anything, it was as if her treatment of the two brothers was reversed. In the ten years of knowing her, the very first time that Kisshouin started a one-on-one conversation with Shuusuke that lasted longer than one minute happened to be because Yukino. It was a dreadfully humbling experience. Yukino has sure put up with a lot these past few years.

In any case, no matter how devilish he was to other people, in the end, Yukino really was still a little boy, and Shuusuke was simply grateful that he was able to be just a normal, cute kid with someone, even if it was a girl who clearly didn't put Shuusuke in her eyes.

He watched peacefully as his little brother's eyes happily flew across the letter.

"Kisshouin-san really cares about Yukino."

Yukino shot a glance over at him, "What? Is oniisama jealous?" And then he continued reading his letter.

"And don't think that I don't realize you told her to write this to make me obediently stay in the hospital."

Shuusuke smiled wryly. When he could tell Yukino was finished reading, he continued, "Well, Yukino seems to really like Kisshouin-san. I thought maybe you would listen if she asked you personally."

Yukino smiled, happy from finishing Kisshouin's letter. "Yeah, I do like her. Reika-oneesama is really nice and she's not just pretending. Do you want to read it, oniisama? I'll let you read it, since you asked her to write this for me. I'm going to the bathroom."

Yukino handed the letter to Shuusuke as he climbed out of bed and grabbed at his drip stand to roll it into the bathroom in the room.

Shuusuke blinked at the letter in his hands. Although he didn't ask to read it, he was honestly pretty curious. What did she say to Yukino to cheer him up, anyways?

The letter was not very long, and it fit neatly on the cute stationary decorated with little birds and vines.

Yukino-kun,

Enjou-sama told me that you are admitted to the hospital. I am worried for your health. Your family must be even more worried than me. I hope you take care of your body because many people care about you very much, and we want for you to quickly become well again. With that said, I hope you listen to the doctor so that you can leave the hospital soon. I know that sometimes it is really hard to do something you don't like. But experts have their reasons for their advice.

Recently I have been learning to make desserts from a friend. To be honest, my dessert-making skill is much farther behind my cooking. I think I know what to do when I try to be creative and individual with my own ideas, but actually, my friend tells me that the greatest mistake in baking is not following from the recipe. This is completely different from cooking, where not following the recipe is not that big of a deal. When I listened to my friend, I made a dessert more delicious than anything I'd ever made in my life! I realized at that moment, ah, so that is the difference between a normal person and an expert. With that said, I hope you understand the importance of listening to experts such as your doctor.

When you come back, you'll be able to see your other friends and me in the Petite Pivoine salon again.

Wishing you a quick recovery,

Kisshouin Reika

By the time Yukino returned from the bathroom, Shuusuke had already finished reading the letter and had set it on the tray over the foot of Yukino's bed.

"So, what did you think of Kisshouin-san's letter? Are you going to listen to her when she asks to you listen to to doctor's advice?"

"I guess." Yukino sat at the foot of the bed and picked up the letter again, folding it and carefully putting it back in its envelope before he flopped back into bed, pulling the covers over himself. "The way she asks me to listen to the doctor is just less irritating than when you ask me to listen to the doctor."

Shuusuke helped put the covers over Yukino.

"I wonder why Reika-oneesama is learning to make desserts." Yukino looked at Shuusuke, his eyes widening. "Valentine's Day is coming up, isn't it? I wonder what Reika-oneesama is making…"

"Hmm. Who knows."

"I wonder if she's learning to bake something for the person she likes..."

"Hmm. Who knows."

Yukino's eyes widened like big dark marbles as he looked at Shuusuke.

"You're curious, too, aren't you oniisama? Ne, ne, what kinds of sweets has oniisama received from Reika-oneesama on Valentine's day?"

"Actually, I've never received anything from Kisshouin-san on Valentine's Day."

"Ehhhhh!"

Shuusuke thought about how in the ten years since he's known Kisshouin Reika, she has never given anyone Valentine's chocolates. Year after year, the whole school secretly held its breath in wonder at who the Goddess Kali of Suiran would afflict with her attentions. And year after year the answer was an anti-climatic… nobody.

Kisshouin Reika never gave anybody at Suiran chocolates for Valentine's day. Him and Masaya were not excluded.

Ah, wait, that's not right. Last year she gave courtesy chocolates to the student council president. In fact, Shuusuke was the one who pointed this out to Masaya... Even though she had done it in secret, for Kisshouin Reika to give chocolates to a guy at Suiran was no small matter and in the end the word leaked anyways. Because she had done it pretty secretively, there were no massive rumours, but the thing about secrets was that they always spread. Shuusuke heard about it from the more low-key sources.

Back then, he had remembered how she seemed to have had a crush on the same student council president back in middle school, but nothing had happened even after all these years. For nothing to have happened all this time, what other conclusion was it other than unrequited love? He hinted at this story of camaraderie to Masaya in hopes of inspiring him to move on with his life. Unrequited love was not the end of the world. Just look at Kisshouin-san.

Who knew that the whole thing would have worked out so beautifully at graduation. Tomoe Senju actually had a girlfriend! And he called Kisshouin Reika a sister in front of everybody. Masaya was so moved by Kisshouin's composure and courage. Shuusuke felt like he was watching Masaya watch a romance movie. Out of all the times that he's taken advantage of Kisshouin, Shuusuke felt most proud about the way that one turned out. Witnessing the way Kisshouin "handled" the student council president's "public rejection" totally inspired Masaya and brought him back from depression. He completely recovered from Yurie's rejection after that.

Yukino's marble eyes seemed to glitter in wonder as he looked up at the handsome young man sitting beside the bed.

"Wow, even though every year it seems like you get chocolates from every single girl we know, there is actually one girl who has never given you any chocolates… not even once! Hehhh..."

Yukino did not look or sound sympathetic at all with the the corner of his lips twitching upwards.

"That reminds me... when we first met and I introduced myself, Reika-oneesama made a 'geh!' face when she heard my name, like she was really saddened to hear that Oniisama was my oniisama... I thought that maybe she hated you!"

"Hmm. I sure hope Kisshouin-san doesn't hate me. But if she does hate me, then that's unfortunate."

"No, no. I don't think Reika-oneesama hates you, Oniisama! She probably doesn't even think about you at all."

"..." Shuusuke's expression remained serene as he stayed silent.

Yukino looked at his face and suddenly giggled. Shuusuke joined in with a few chuckles. For a short moment, they laughed together.

"Ahahaha…"

"Hahaha…"

"..."

"..."

Yukino turned over in bed. "Don't worry, oniisama. Maybe one day Reika-oneesama will also remember to give you chocolates, too."

"..."

"Oh yeah, oniisama, could you find me something to write with? I want to write Reika-oneesama a reply."

"...Alright. I'll go find you some paper."

The next morning, Shuusuke thanked Kisshouin for her letter to Yukino. She looked really happy that it helped. Yeah, it was really useful. She was pretty humble.

"Yukino said that it was fun to read about making sweets."

"I could only think of unimportant things to say… well..."

Hm, there it was. Shuusuke could always hear the instant whenever it sounded like Kisshouin was trying to wrap up a conversation and escape. Usually, he'd just let her go. But for some reason, he didn't feel like it this time. The words Yukino said yesterday skipped around his mind, reviving an old and annoying itch.

"So Kisshouin-san is making sweets. Could it be that on Valentine's day..."

"Umm…" He watched as Kisshouin's eyes lowered, her cheeks blushing very lightly. He could imagine her cheeks must have been warm to the touch now. "Yes..."

"Hn."

It'd be a lie to say that he never expected any chocolates from Kisshouin Reika. It wasn't to say that he wanted her chocolates or anything like that. In fact, the idea of actually eating Kisshouin Reika's handmade sweets seemed like something that belonged to the realms of extreme adventures and chemically dangerous thrill-seeking. Although, whether or not Reika's chocolates are edible, Shuusuke wouldn't want to eat them anyways, as he didn't have a sweet tooth, but...

...He still expected to get them.

It was about logic. If a girl knew Enjou Shuusuke, then she would give him chocolates on Valentine's day. (The same applied to Kaburagi Masaya.) Three of five of chocolates would be honmei. That was the rule. He knew it was a very unique and extraordinary rule. Certainly not every boy in the world had the ridiculous privilege of receiving a mountain of chocolates and sweets from all the girls he knew. But, that was his experience.

In accordance with his life experience, it was natural to expect chocolates from a girl he knew when he's always received chocolates from every girl he knew. With no exceptions.

Except this one.

S:Probably, when this episode goes on air, it won't be the case anymore but

K: Uh huh

S: But recently, I've had quite many spiritual experiences recently

K: Oh i was scared right there

S: ?

K: I thought you were quitting or something

S: No no no no, why would i do something like that?

K: That scared me, thought you were going to say, 'when this goes on air, i won't be here anymore'

S: Hhahahaha that blew up

K: I was so shocked

S: That's funny, but you know, I often say I see feathers, right? I still see them now and then, but recently, I'm not kidding, crickets keep coming to me. When i'm watching TV at night... well I'm not watching TV but

K: What are you talking about?

S: You know like, my TV is like...that...

K: You are just watching the screen

S: Ah yesyes, that's scary! It's like I'm a psychopath or something!

K: So Soma san you were just watching screen when..

S: When I watch movies at night, there would be the tapping sound on my window, there would be nothing, and after a while i would hear it again.

K: Uh huh

S: And when i open the window, the crickets would be like, 'Let me in!'

K: That's so dramatic

S: I think there is a huge tree near my window, and so there would be tons of them there growing.

K: Ahhh, they would fall nicely at a 45 degree angle

S: And it's easy for them to come in but not go out. I realised that recently, they are not really coming anymore. I was wondering why, and it has been hot recently, so I've not been going into the veranda much. When I went out, I realised that the tree, wasnt there

K: Ehhhhh!??

S: It was totally trimmed, I guess there were tons of complaints coming from other residents about crickets coming into their houses too

K: Would they trim it because of complaints?!

S: It has a very clean haircut now.

K: I don't know if I should probe into it this much but is that tree within the estate?

S: Yes yes , it is, so it comes under their management. And actually I dont miss them at all and, i feel lucky in fact

K: And also it's nothing spiritual at all, just that the bugs are gone

S: Ahahahahaa

----

~About year end times and visiting their parents'~

S: It's hard for me to move around, like my hometown is in Yamanashi

K: Actually my parents home was in tokyo but they have moved to kanagawa actually, so they're like telling me, not to come back

S: Ahahahaa

K: And they got a cat, when I'm allergic to cats. And also since they're in Kanagawa, they might have some resistance to come to Tokyo. So, I can't go back!

S: Are you in contact with them?

K: Ahhh well yes

S: So that was when they told you that, they were getting a cat and stuff, and therefore

K: Telling me not to come back

S: I don't think that's what they think wwww

It's a tough time huh

K: Yes it's a tough family situation

S: Ahahahaaa what's that

K: Why are they going further away though...

S: I actually talked on the phone for 2 hours with my parents, after a long time, they seemed really happy i think. After that I think i heard from my sister that my parents told her about how i called them

K: Ahh

S: I'm usually the kind that doesnt contact people. So i guess this situation sort of makes us try to keep in contact. So not all's bad

K: I see, when i go back home, I'm like doing a radio show alone for 2 hours

S: Ahahahaaha

K: When i go home, I talk non stop, for like 1 hour and we laugh and laugh and then I'll be, 'Okay, I'm off'

S: Ahahahaa you're providing them one slot of entertainment

K: I'd be like, 'wasn't it fun?' , 'bye bye'

S: Does your style of talking take after any of your family members?

K: Nope

S: Ah

K: Totally no one. I'm the only one who talks this much

S: Ah, so they're rather quiet, all of them

K: My dad would talk when he's excited but is usually the listener. I don't really understand what my mum says at all

S: wwwww what does that mean?

K: Maybe we're similar?

S: Ahahahhaa

K: My younger sister doesn't ever come out of her room

S: Stop that

K: My elder brother keeps bullying others

S: wwwwww ok but

K: Maybe it's a hybrid, I'm all of those things at times

S: Well but you're nice on the inside

K: Yes I am! So is my family! Hahahaha

S: Haahahha

~~

Q. There are not many events nowadays but it seems like there are many recordings and filmings these days?

K: No?

S: wwwww well in general for voice actors, probably all the recordings that were halted have resumed  maybe

K: By recording, what kind of recording do you mean?

S: wwwww what do you mean by what kind?

K: Well there's after recording

S: Ah ah ah, Ok then count it in

K: Ah, okat then Yes, it has increased

S: Ahahahaa

K: Yes, it's great. I don't really have recording for like songs

S: I think ive gotten more reading jobs nowadays, and I've always said i liked reading, but i had one where i had to read out everything myself, it was, really difficult

K: I guess you have to create and ups and downs right, that's tough right

S: And i think, it's not too good if you create too many ups and downs

K: Ahhh, it's difficult to decide when to hold back

S: Yesyesyes. And usually i would read books for leisure and books for work differently.

K: I see

S: And recently I end up thinking a lot when reading, like how should I make it more interesting

K: Ahhh that doesn't sound fun

S: Totally

K: When I have fun doing YouTube, versus when I use some editing methods because I feel it's good for my videos

S: And it goes on for hours, well it happens for radio as well, like 3-4 hours, to be immersed in one story for rhat long, we don't have it that much

K: Uh huh

S: Like... i want to improve my concentrating ability

K: Ahhh that...

S: Well....Kaito kun are there any types of jobs that you have more now

K: Not really... anything... it has been the same

S: So it has really gotten back to normal

K: Yes. I think I've had more free talk sort of gigs now

S: wwwwww

K: So, what do they see me as?

S: Well but you know you are able to do freetalk for 2 hours at your parent's house

K: No no no but well the freetalk at do at my parent's house goes like, 'this and this happened at work, haha, my partner for radio is this sort of person, he's really irritating

S: Wait wait, stop stop, can i rewind?

K: Ok ok ok, so like what i say at my parent's house goes like, 'my partner for radio is really irritating' something like that

S: wwwwwww

K: Hahahaha, just a little

S: You simplified it huh, from just now

K: I don't even remember what i said

S: But Kaito kun is someone who can just talk about something interesting when the time needs to be dragged a little

K: Really?

S: Isn't that so?

K: Freetalk is like... if there's nothing interesting that happened in your daily life, there's nothing to talk about so

S: Yes, that's true

K: So, i only say what comes to mind at that point

S: Yeah yeah

K: So, sometimes i read comments like, 'Kaito kun said this and this some time ago but now he's saying this and this'

S: Uh huh

K: But what i say is different at different times. So, recently I felt the need to accumulate things to talk about

S: Yes, that's also what you thought of due to this increase in free talk related gigs

K: Yes yes

S: And so you're actually

K: I wanted to note down stuff so, use my secret twitter account that I use for ego searching

S: Wait wait, why, why? Just use a notebook or something

K: Well but, I feel like tweeting them

S: Ahahahhaaa I don't get it! Your ego searching account

K: It has 0 followers, is unlocked, and has no interaction with anyone

S: I see I see

K: And I would tweet photos of my animal crossing game for my own keepsake

S: Ahahahaha huh? That's kinda scary

K: So I'm using it in place of a notebook now. My recent note was 'Human nails degenerate too fast, don't they?' They break all the time and it's painful and bloody', and I don't even remember what that was about

S: Oh my god

K: Scary right?

S: Totally scary, Posting animal crossing photos and leading to this is also scary. What's that about human nails?!

K: The fact that it's scary... already becomes a topic

S: I see I see, you noting down things and don't remember anything about it

K: And the fact that the first tweet was something really scary

S: Ahahahhaahaa

K: Hahahaa

S: But it's an account you would like to keep lowkey

K: If it gets circulated due to a bug or something that would be real bad

S: Please be careful!

Ooohh your LaraXAvallac'h theories are interesting... do you think she was justified in her decision ? What would you have done if you were her ? Her story is quite tragic especially considering she was supposedly auberon's daugher makes you feel quite bad for him ? God only knows what cregan had that was soo great ?? Also i don't remember it being implied that Ava and lara slept together?

Whether she was justified or not – that’s… verrry complicated to me. She had the right to live whatever life she wanted.

But it’s complicated because of her role. She was one generation away from producing the heir that would be able to defeat the White Frost and save all the worlds, not just her own. At the very least she could have stayed long enough to produce that heir, and then leave.

But on the other… she never asked for that. She never was given a choice. And I wouldn’t be surprised if part of it was her refusing to stay because of that child (presumably a daughter) – because she didn’t want any child of hers to be sacrificed, even if it meant saving everyone else. She didn’t want any child to grow up the way she did, with her destiny laid out for her and no say in it.

More under the cut.

TL;DR – Was she justified to leave? Yes. Was she justified to doom everyone? Ehhhhh!!

I don’t feel bad for Auberon. I don’t feel bad for Avallac’h. They didn’t have to watch their loved one die, they didn’t die themselves. It was Lara’s story, not theirs. I feel bad for her. I feel bad she had to watch Cregan die when he made her so happy, I feel bad that she clearly asked for help after he did and was refused, I feel bad that she died unsupported and almost entirely alone, except for the child she died protecting.

Was she justified in her decision to leave Avallac’h? Yes. She had every right to. She was justified to leave her people, to leave her father, to leave her world. Everyone and anyone would have been justified.

Was she justified to doom them all in the process? 

I can’t say. I want to say it’s as simple as “well she should have saved them but she didn’t therefore she wasn’t.” But it’s not.

It wasn’t her fault that the Aen Elle put all their eggs in one basket. Why her? Why was she the only one? Why were they so dumb as to breed one woman with this gene, and not a whole bunch? Why didn’t she have sisters or cousins that could have taken over, giving them all a choice? What would have happened if she died in infancy? They’d have been screwed over anyway. In a way they had it coming. 

Their entire plan hinged on controlling one woman and getting her to do what they wanted her to do. Avallac’h would have benefited from this because no matter what Lara felt for him, he would have been married to the woman he loved and had a child for her. I don’t feel bad for him for being denied something he shouldn’t have been told he was entitled to in the first place.

But mostly I can’t say “no” because of meta reasons.

Every storyline that goes “you have to have a baby or you’re a terrible person” makes me feel really uncomfortable and Lara’s story is no exception. She had to have a baby with Avallac’h, or her people were doomed, and that makes me feel really uncomfortable as a woman because there’s already societal pressure for AFAB people to shut up and have babies and We Are Bad if we don’t. That’s why I don’t feel bad for Avallac’h or Auberon at all, because why would I? They’re not the ones being controlled, they’re not the ones being told to live a certain life or the fate of their entire species will collapse. They wanted that life, Lara didn’t. Women in real life��get this shit every time we fight to get the vote or go to work. Auberon just sat around afterwards wallowing in self pity and so did Avallac’h, and frankly, screw them.

Lara’s story is just another case of “ha, Lara has to have babies" “– but that story’s terrible!” “yeah well it’s justified because if she doesn’t EVERYONE WILL DIE.”

It’s kind of shitty.

I think Lara could have stayed long enough to have the child, then left and taken the child with her. But even that solution wouldn’t have worked – the Aen Elle might have gone to war with humanity over it. The only option Lara would have had to have her cake and eat it too was to fake her and the child’s death. (And I believe that in the games canon she did fake her death, but only her own.)

I don’t think there was a good answer. So Lara just went, “Screw it all, I’m out.”

On an in-universe level where RL factors and pressure for this exact thing didn’t exist, I want to say no, I’d have found another way, but I don’t know that I could have.

Without hearing Lara tell us her reasons, I can’t say for sure. I want to say her decision to doom them all was unjustified but I have too much sympathy to be able to actually come out and say it, because it’s too close to home for me, because I’d feel like I was encouraging every douchebag IRL who ever went “women should stay home and have babies or the human race will DIE OUT DOOOOOOM DOOOOOOOM DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!”

Lara doesn’t get a voice. Auberon does. Avallac’h does. 

But Lara doesn’t.

I love Avallac’h, but I don’t have to feel no sympathy for Lara to do so, and she didn’t deserve what she got in any sense.

(Also, re: Avallac’h implying he slept with Lara – that could be me looking too much into it, I fully admit that. When he flipped out at Ciri that one time I interpreted that to mean, “I slept with her but I’ll never sleep with you because I don’t want my memories of intimacy with her to be corrupted by new memories of sleeping with you. (ps humans are gross)” But I could be reaching! Maybe they never did!)

Honestly, looking at your posts about Super sometimes I feel guilty for supporting the show so much. Because I honestly love it. I love the art style, I love how most of the characters are, I love the humour, I like a lot of the action and the stories. There's some stuff I don't like and I know the animation isn't always great, mostly in the first two sagas, but honestly there's not enough to ruin the experience and I still think it's a great show all around. It's the most fun I've had with 1/2

First and most important - you are absolutely not wrong for liking Super.

Never let critics tell you what you can and can’t enjoy. Ever.

You’re not stupid for liking it.

You’re not wrong for liking it.

It’s okay.

Now, from here on out is gonna be a little bit of tough love.

I’m not going to say “oh it’s okay, it’s okay, Super can totally be good! If you like it - it must be, right? It’s not dragging down the franchise!” because I would be lying to you and myself if I said that.

Liking things that are objectively bad un-ironically is normal. Lots of people do it. I do it. I really fucking love Equestria Girls. Like. A lot. I love it. A lot.

Not being able to study a piece of art on a critical level doesn’t make you stupid. It’s okay. You just can’t seem to place what you love about the series.

I can’t help you to figure it out, either, sadly, because I know that everything is done bad and I know that the story goes against everything I’ve studied about Dragon Ball’s writing and just writing in general. The same with animation. Everything I’ve studied to do to make something look good in an animation is done wrong in Super.

If you read what I have to say about DBS and can’t argue because you think I’m right on the complaints that I have, then I suggest that when you’re talking about it with friends you say something along the lines of “I can’t really say why I like it. This person online says it’s really bad, absolutely hates it, and I kinda agree with what she says but something about it keeps me attached.” That’s a perfectly valid reason to watch it but if you think I’m right when I say “the writing is done bad and the animation is done bad.” then you can’t really say that those things are done well, can you? Unless you don’t believe that, in which case I’d ask “why” and we’re back to the “I don’t know, but I like it.” argument.

I’m so sorry but the fact that you like it doesn’t mean it’s good.

I think the problem with comparing it to GT is the time between the end of Dragon Ball and its airing.

Many fans watched GT while Dragon Ball was still new and amazing and hyped everywhere as being great. So when GT wasn’t as good, everyone lost their minds. (Honestly, I’ve heard through the grapevine that GT had basically the same reactions from fans as Super. Everyone was swearing it was made by Toriyama and that it was canon, if you tried to criticize it you got shut down and only after the hype died did people start listening to the critics).

The problem with GT is the same as The Legend of Korra. It’s not as good as the original, but it’s not god-awful. GT is fine when standing on its own. It had one silly arc and one ehhhhh kiiiinda bad arc but the writing was still solid. It’s “meh”. GT is not as good as Dragon Ball, but good Lord it is not as bad as people make it out to be.

Not trying to say GT is some diamond-in-the-rough secret masterpiece like what Dragon Ball is, because it’s not. It’s okay. I got bored pretty often and some things in the writing weren’t the best but I wasn’t pulling my hair out and screaming about basic rules being broken the way I am with Super.

GT’s biggest problem is boredom.

People complain about the animation in GT while praising Super’s and that’s baffling me. No, GT is not fantastic - even for its time - but it’s not consistently terrible with random quick moments of “lol hey look at this quick pretty scene now forget about all the crap before it” the way Super is. GT’s quality was consistently “pretty good”. Super’s is inconsistent but on average, pretty dang bad with a lot of god-awful and obnoxious-to-look-at moments.

I think there’s a lot of “what we wanted Super to be” projection going on. That’s why, when you try and discuss the writing with fans of the series, their only defense is “but the concepts are good!”. They’re right. The concepts are good. But story concept alone does not, a good story, make.

Ideas are cheap, I’m afraid. So when you botch a great concept with terrible execution, you get a terrible product. That’s just how it is.

I feel like people are terrified of another GT and so they’re projecting so hard this idea that “well, wherever Super is bad, OG Dragon Ball was bad too” and that’s what’s hurting the franchise.

This fanbase has a serious problem of disrespecting Toriyama as an Author, as an Artist, and disrespecting Dragon Ball as the amazingly written series that it was.

This is a random scene from DRAGON BALL - ya know, the really fucking old series? - and the animation still holds up. Random, unimportant sequence of just Bulma talking and this is the average quality I expect from Dragon Ball.

Compared to Super’s average:

That fancy over-the-shirt-whatever-it’s-called-coat on Gohan changed size. In fact, Gohan’s line where his hip starts jumped up for no fucking reason. Also - do you know how hard it is to find DBS gifs on here? There’s not a lot. Because no one’s making a ton of gifs of scenes. Especially not of the countless amount that look like shit. Just a lot of the same two fights that looked great because those two exist. Mr. Satan’s muscles aren’t real. Videl should’ve fucking blinked or reacted or something, Mr. Satan’s cape is defying gravity. What’s the light-source? I don’t know. You’d think it’s inbetween Gohan and Videl but Mr. Satan begs to differ. This isn’t even the worst. It’s just kinda bad but it’s the fact that this is the best the average gets that’s shit.

Here’s where I bring out information that I was gonna save for its own post tomorrow but I guess it’s coming out now.

Among the Asian countries, there’s an annual poll of the best Anime. For all these years since serialization, Dragon Ball hasn’t gone below 20. Dragon Ball Super comes out, the poll changes the name of the anime to “Dragon Ball Super” to encompass the entire franchise, it isn’t on the list by the end of the poll. Out of 100. Why when the ratings are fine? Well, I’m watching Super on CrunchyRoll every week because I fucking have to because I can’t stand not taking in every Dragon Ball everything out there but if I was in that poll, I probably would’ve voted for Hunter x Hunter or Yuri on Ice. I sure as hell was not going to vote for DBS purely because of Dragon Ball when so much other Anime is so much better and has so much more blood, sweat and tears in it than DBS’ garbage. Teen Titans Go was doing GREAT for ratings for Cartoon Network but we all know how those numbers are bullshit. Ya know - it being the only thing airing 80% of the time. Ratings =/= quality.

So - yeah - Dragon Ball Super is hurting the name of Dragon Ball because of its terrible quality.

I’m sorry.

That doesn’t mean you’re stupid for liking it.

That doesn’t mean you’re stupid for not understanding what’s bad about it.

It just means that there’s some other God-only-knows reason you like DBS.

Don’t stress about it.

PLEASE don’t stress about it.

Enjoy it.

Have fun.

Just don’t try and tell me that it’s good because it really - really - isn’t.

[omglr]

uh... prolife hypocrite and also a fascist

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

You both like abortion, feminism, and feminist.

You: hi

Stranger: Hi

Stranger: Feminist?

You: yes, you?

Stranger: No. I am not. Prolife/pro choice?

You: pro life, you?

Stranger: Yeah. Pro life, too

Stranger: Feminist and prolife. What an odd combination?

You: oh... lol, sorry i just woke up

You: i'm pro choice

Stranger: Haha... That's okay. I am prolife, by the way

You: yeah, are you a man or a woman?

Stranger: I am a guy

You: oh, ok

You: what are you doing to prevent pregnancy?

Stranger: condoms and pills!

You: have you considered getting a vasectomy?

You: condoms break

Stranger: Nope.

You: and pills fail

Stranger: Yeah, I know! I will get an abortion, then!

Stranger: for my girl

Stranger: If she wants to

You: guess so

Stranger: If we don't have inclination to raise the baby, the baby will never be raised in a good way but I am still pro life

Stranger: Pro choice only for me

You: ah... gotcha

You: so have you considered not being a hypocrit?

Stranger: I get that a lot!

You: and just being pro-choice?

Stranger: No. It's political now and as a republican, we need to win elections

You: ehhhhh...

Stranger: Do you think the republicans care about the baby and the democrats about the mother. They don't.!

Stranger: It's all political for them!

You: eh... there are people who care about mothers, not necessarily democrats

Stranger: Yeah but there are very less people. If more people become pro life, the democrats will flip their position and abortion rights will turned over in a single night

You: why vote republican tho?

Stranger: I believe in certain principles of the republican party and I like Trump

You: what's your take on the fascism of trump?

Stranger: He's far from fascist. Why do you think he is a fascist? Give me a one good reason

Stranger: Besides, I am naturally attracted to strong leaders by the way

You: disdain for human rights

Stranger: Where did he disdain human rights?

Stranger: Where did he violate human rights?>

You: identification of enemies/scapegoats for a unifying cause

You: yeah, he's targeting immigrants and queer people

Stranger: He is targeting illegal immigrants. They are not supposed to walk in the country without permission

You: they are allowed to walk in and apply for sactuary

You: that's actually how it works

Stranger: If we say no, they should go back

You: -Rampant Sexism

Stranger: How is immigration related to sexism?

You: Military Fetishism

Stranger: Let's go by one by one!

Stranger: So, What are we talking about? Are we done with immigration? I assume you are out of points to attack Trump

You: no dude i am going through the definition of fascism

You: and its pretty clear

Stranger: That's not fascism, dude! He doesn't oppress anybody and doesn't violate any human rights.

You: Controlled Mass Media

Stranger: Which media did he control?

You: well him and fox news are so tight

You: they are basically fucking

Stranger: What's wrong with that if all the others news are against him. Hillary clinton was shared debate questions .

You: its on the list

Stranger: Even fox news was against him but they have no choice but to cave after seeing his polls

You: -Obsession with National Security

You: "the muslim travel ban"

You: "the wall"

Stranger: What's wrong with being obsessed with security of his nation? That is his job as a president to protect his nation.

You: Corporate Power is Protected

Stranger: In my opinion, all muslims should be deported. I don't what's taking so long for Trump to do that

Stranger: Even country has borders and we need to have one, too

You: Labor Power is Suppressed

Stranger: If Corporate power is protected, why is michael bloomberg spending 500 million to throw Trump out of office?

You: that's been an effort of the states to suppress labour power for half a century

You: so trump doesn't have to do much there

Stranger: I don't what point you are making? I answered all your questions. I don't think he is fascist. It's just you are repeating orange man bad.

You: no dude

You: you are agreeing you love fascism

Stranger: If nationalism is fascism, let's go with it

You: you are atracted to a strong leader and you fell right for his racist antimuslim bullshit

Stranger: Well. Everyone has a opinion, I have mine.

You: nah bro, we are at the point where we need to come together as the human race and stop climate change

Stranger: So, We moved to climate change, now?

You: i am saying nationalism isn't gonna do shit

You: because orange man has mush for brains

Stranger: Do you think Trump is stupid?

You: and unless you are mega rich you aren't gonna survive what's coming

Stranger: I am not mega rich

You: well you're fucking yourself

Stranger: I can make my own decision

You: yeah

You: you can order a big orange dildo online too

Stranger: Yeah. If I need one, I will!

You: it'll be a lot more fun

Stranger: You are wasting my time. If you have no rational argument, It's time to move on

You: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2015/11/20/1452457/-Time-to-pull-out-again-The-14-Points-of-Fascism

You: i don't bud

Stranger: See ya, then!

You: all the people who fell for nazis

You: are ashamed of themselves now

You: consider a nuance rejection of their shit values

You: and save some face for later?

Stranger: Nope.

You: aight, have fun living with no real values

You: suck a fuck

You have disconnected.
