#would have love to see it in theaters OTL

[yamsgarden]

Can't stress enough how much u should watch Nimona

[mugentakeda]

WELL. I had an anon that was kindly asking me background info on my oc jiro and whatever he had going on with lu ten. I had the Fawking response all done and had it saved as a draft right. and i just needed to switch it to post but tumblr Wouldnt Let Me (it was saying something "went wrong" idfk) so I deleted the draft and was gonna try posting it again thinking the ask would reappear in my inbox but it DIDNT it just deleted the whole ask along with the draft :((( so i'm just gonna post it all here anyway and hope that the anon sees it fhkdndncmxbc,dndkzhnx

-basic stuff: 27 (<-when he meets lu ten), nonbender (<-doesnt need bending lol)

-finest jewelry maker in the fire nation. he also does metal art like embossing and figures and shit. he collaborates closely with famous potters and tailors in the FN to make stuff for the royal family and their special occasions (like holiday and celebration banquet jewelry and bedazzled outfits and shit). he also works with fire nation theaters, to help with their costumes for their more pricey productions. he's made MANY crowns for the royal family as well.

-oldest of 3 brothers. the business he owns was passed down in the family thru generations. jiro inherited (usurped?) it when he was 23, after he beat his father to death for smacking their mother around. their mother lives with the middle brother and his family on one of the outer FN islands. the youngest is estranged and started his own (less successful) business out of jealousy towards jiro.

-neutral on the war in the same way june the bounty hunter is- money is money to him. and when I say neutral I mean neutral. he obviously doesn't get clients or customers from other nations due to the war but if he did then he'd be more than happy to serve them. but his business still wouldn't be affected no matter the outcome of the war because even without international clients his wallet is thick, so he doesn't really care what the outcome ends up being. he believes a true businessman goes wherever the wind takes him and is good at adapting. not a "stuck in his ways" type of guy. the royal family is his top priority client obviously, but it's simply because they pay the most for the finest pieces. it's not out of any kind of loyalty or patriotism.

-jiro likes material things and having money, but he's genuinely super passionate about his craft and the arts in general. he does a lot of other crimes (<- lol) but counterfeiting isn't one of them. all his products and art are genuine, handcrafted, made to detail. he's probably kinda disgusted by the idea of counterfeit and scamming because he genuinely looks forward to the reaction of his clients when they receive what they paid for. he does the act of service, he gets the praise and the money, he's a happy camper.

-despite all of the above, his demeanor is the definition of greasy and sleazy- but he also can be genuinely suave when he wants. he'll charm the pants off your granny. but not sleazy in the same way zhao is, though (cus zhao is no real charmer lol). cus zhao is high in the navy so he's Very stuck up, and he's also an otl (<-???) ass-kisser. he's a slimy douchebag, but still one that adamantly adheres to and enforces fire nation law. he's a guy that has goals and will do anything to get there. meanwhile jiro, you look at him and you know he does criminal shit. he just gives the danger vibe, and he flaunts it with confidence. and you must reach at least level 4 friend to unlock the gentlemanly, white-knight-syndrome side of jiro.

-what jiro DOES do for criminal activity is that as he has most of all the fire nation nobility and high court (along with the Literal royal family) in his pocket. he has eyes and ears in a LOTTTT of people's business. sensitive business. criminal business. blackmail on top of blackmail. he's only loyal to people he personally gives a shit about, and whatever the people he cares about gives a shit about. he's got the love in his heart to make those extensions because he really is thoughtful in nature. but anything outside of that is not his problem so yes he WILL sell your ass out. the most dependable man in the world if he loves you, but the most venomous, backstabbing scorpion-viper if he doesn't care about you.

-and he doesn't hire goons- the business and its dealings are done all by him, and him alone. so if you air out his business or try to fuck with him, he will show up in your house alone and kill you in the next 24 hours i PROMISE you. preferred form of doing so is beating to death. and them is workers arms baby so you aren't getting out of it alive!!! jiro isn't very tall but he is strong as FUCK. and because of the fact that he knows everybody's dirty laundry he gets away with all of it lol. jiro is not afraid of jackkkkk SHIT (<- which is why he's very dependable if he loves you. he's unflinching and dedicated)

-as for him and lu ten: he and lu ten met by chance (they quite literally ran into each other in the palace and toppled over each other), and ended up being twin flames. lu ten's like the orange cat to jiro's black cat. they balanced each other out and jiro was exactly what lu ten needed at the perfect time. their first date or whatever (Doing An Activity Together) was having lunch and tea together in the palace gardens, and it kinda spurred from there. they spent time together like an old retired couple basically lol??? lunches, dinners, long walks from evening to night, doing their tasks in silence but they're next to each other so it's fun (<-parallel play for adults), sitting on benches for hours and just talking and bird watching. two people with tough jobs, so they sometimes forget to stop and smell the roses, but they reserve time for each other so they can stop and smell the roses together.

-it isn't ALWAYS them acting like a retired old couple though cus like I said jiro is a sleaze bag and a flirt. azula was the only one that really noticed and she was very disgusted by them and would constantly swear lu ten has a thing for losers. but then again she'd claim any person lu ten messes with to be a gross loser so there's that

-as soon as they got close to tension hitting a boiling point the siege situation rolled around (<-AVERAGE COCKBLOCKER IROH MOMENT) and lu ten obviously didn't come back. and jiro never let go of it because of all the "what ifs" and how there was something there that was mutual but it never became official or was put into words. so there's more regret rather than bitterness about lu ten's absence in jiro's life. like "right person, wrong time" trope??? but this is the dai li au so they'll be fine eventually lol

-after lu ten died and ozai took over, jiro was silently cut off from the royal family. ozai didn't directly order that or anything but he didn't commission or hire jiro for anything the way azulon always did. jiro also quietly removed himself from the whole political ring and just focused on his work. didn't have a reason to stop and smell the roses anymore, but the work never quits and the world didn't stop turning

-once azula got old enough to be let loose into the playing field, she hired jiro under the table due to her knowing how close he'd been with lu ten (which makes him someone she felt that she could trust), and he got put back into the political game (<- to everyone elses dismay). since her first rodeo was outside of the fire nation, he became her eyes and ears back home.

-and he wasn't forced by her or intimidated by her- he was brought back to life by finally having a real reason to get back in action again. at first, azula being the kid lu ten personally took care of for the first little portion of her life (<-which is a secret jiro knows from lu ten. azula doesn't know about that, and it's gonna stay that way. it's more to be a driving force for jiro. cus jiro has a "whats yours is mine" mindset when he loves someone. so what lu ten loved, jiro also loves. so whatever azula wants from jiro, jiro will provide it to her.) was what made being her guy so easy, but he ends up taking a genuinely liking to the crazy kid. he feels like they get along pretty well cus they're like-minded when it comes to their methods

Heyyyy! SO as a local comteologist- okay sorry lmao 😂 I was wondering! Could you maybe write about an mc that is very affectionate? Because I am like that and I would give my ALL and just everything for someone I love. So, maybe the guys are pretending to be asleep and they hear mc admitting her undying love for them? I don't want to burden you! So, I think Will, Jean, Leo and Napoleon would be fine :D

I love you! And please take care of your self cuz corona is a hondje- sorry lmao

Have all of my uwus my lovely, I relate HIGHKEY I’m ungodly affectionate irl~

You take care of yourself too! Tyty 💖💖💖 nothing to apologize for I love a good clowning, esp if Theo gets clowned in the process 😂😂

And never apologize for using my esteemed title I will die on this Comte-thirsting hill (☆｀• ω •´)ｂ

I hope these attempts bring you joy! 

William Shookspeare:

Our v creative playwright boy was just vibin’. He had a long day at the (obnoxious thespian voice) theater and while he loves the art with all of his being, the man is t i r e d. MC was late to bed and while he prefers to wait for her to join him no he is not horny perish the thought he just started dozing off from the exhaustion. He’s not sure when the lights go out, but he feels an immeasurable warmth around him. Faintly, he can make out a voice murmured at his ear, a gentle hand running through his hair. (I s2g if this bih says “Puck?” I’m gonna smack him for MC)

“Had a long day, hm?” He’s only just coming to, and can’t muster the energy to reply or open his eyes. “I’m sure this next performance will be the best one yet! You surprise me every day, Will...”

“Try not to work yourself too hard, sweetheart. Your work may one day be the world’s greatest marvel.”

He wasn’t sure what it was about the words that made his lips tremble. Was it the praise that always seemed to flow forth at a moment’s notice, the real kind he was so unaccustomed to? Or was it that unshakeable calm; her faith in him unmoved by any fear or doubt--the kind that made him wonder briefly if she was dull all those years ago. Now he was just thankful it was still here, no matter how undeserving he may be.

“But you will always be my entire world, my greatest marvel. I love you too much to let the world have you.”

Jeanne D’Arc (REEEEEE MY GOODEST BOY OTL):

It was early one morning, frost blossoming in fractals along the transparent surface of the bedside window. An inevitable, biting chill lingers in the room while the sun is fighting to climb past the horizon, its time so limited in these winter months. She watches as the light casts a gentle gray over the bare walls--something she promised to remedy soon--so reminiscent of how he appeared to her at first. Pure and bright, but still fighting off a darkness she knew so little about.

The thought made her draw him to her protectively, careful not to wake him up as she tucked him close to her heart. He was so warm, even despite the frigid weather. A product of his time as a soldier? She was never sure, but she was always touched by how often he used that warmth in service to her. 

She remembered earlier the other day, when she returned home from some grocery shopping with Sebas. Concern was overflowing from his stoic face--it was there if you knew where to look for it; his eyes a little more narrow, the line of his mouth closer to a frown. All at once his hands were reaching for hers, relieving her of whatever she allowed him to carry while walking into the kitchen alongside her. When Sebas stepped out again he took her hands in his, pressing them along his face. She had cried out, knowing her hands were freezing--it had to be painful to warm them in such a way. But he only smiled that beautiful smile to quell her distress, the one that always took her breath away, and insisted he could do no less.

“The same goes for me too, though, Jeanne.” she looked at the fierce mark on his face, so unworthy of someone so gentle. She resisted every urge to soothe her fingers across it, loathe to wake him up. She didn’t notice the fingers that twitched at her hip, his signs of stirring subtle. “Whenever you need me, whenever you can’t think of a good reason to walk out of this room. All you need to do is find me, okay? I love you so, so much.”

Leonardo Da Binchi (no i will not apologize. he deserves to be clowned, glorious moron):

Once again her lover was gloriously strewn across the library floor, arms crossed and fast asleep. An exasperated smile found her face at the sight. Perhaps it would have been a surprise at first, but nowadays she would just roll her eyes and walk past. Sometimes, if she was feeling forlorn or a little reckless, she would climb into his lap just as he was. He seemed to enjoy being woken up that way though, so of course she couldn’t give him the satisfaction every time; a woman likes to change things up. And sometimes she was too busy to spare the time.

Even so, the slowly dimming shadows under his eyes were a relief to see. While the celebration of his birthday could only be a blessing, she knew what a double-edged blade it could be. It invoked so many wounds that hadn’t yet healed. While she wished he would share that burden with her--however heavy it may be--she slapped her own cheeks lightly at the impatient thought. Give him time...

“I know you think you have to carry everything alone. And in some ways, it’s something I admire so much about you--the way you always seem to know just how to move forward. Like nothing can shake you.”

She leaned down close to him, bracing herself against the bookshelf as she pressed a kiss gently against his temple. “But know that whenever you find yourself wavering, or even if you just need a place to rest, I’m right here. I’ll always be right here. I love you so much more than you think, Leonardo...”

She stopped herself before she could finish the thought, knowing it wasn’t what he wanted to hear: “more than my own life.”

Napoleon Bonaparte (oh my little lion man...):

They were spending a nice afternoon in the courtyard, as a lovey-dovey couple do, and they went under the veranda to find some relief from the midday sun. Surprising literally no one, our sweet emperor started to doze after some yummy tea time snackies--drifting asleep against MC’s shoulder. She adjusted a bit to change the angle of the lean, making sure he wasn’t putting too much pressure on his neck. Little puffs of air made her bangs flutter as he breathed low and even, and she smiled.

He’d had a guard jobs back to back recently, which meant precious little time to spend with him. Restless and quieter than usual, she had suggested a little stroll together around the courtyard; admiring the flowers and telling him about the books she’d been reading to fill the silence of those lonely nights. It wasn’t long before he started to smile more, snickering when she gave ludicrous summaries of the characters and plot. 

Early that morning she had taken the time to make perfect tea time sweets, fully anticipating--and hoping--it would encourage him to rest. So often he would be worried about her missing out on things or trying to plan more elaborate dates, but if she were honest she didn’t care much for extravagance or constant excitement. These tender moments where he could trust her (and the mansion’s perimeter) enough to fall fast asleep, no nightmares in sight, was enough to fill her heart with so much joy.

“I know you can’t help but want to do everything you can for the people around you; protecting and serving others is your life. I never want to be a reason you feel you need to stop doing that.” She murmured in the silence, playing with the buttons on his coat with a faint smile. “But even so, remember you always have a home to return to. More than that, no matter how powerful or skilled; you’re also one man. A man I love more than anything else in this world, a man I always want by my side--if he’ll have me, that is.”

She took the hand that was entwined with her own, pressing a gentle kiss to the back of his palm as his lashes trembled. “I love you, Leon. Whether I see you every moment of every day, or only in stolen moments between assignments. That will never change. There will be times where you belong to the whole world, but this” she placed a hand gently over his heart “will always belong to me. Let it lead you home to me, sweetheart.”

And because I can’t help myself, I added Comte, Mozart and Vincent:

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (he’s the melody I can’t get out of my head DON’T LOOK AT ME):

Despite all of his promises to quit his bad habits, she opened the door later that evening to find him fast asleep against the covered keys of the piano. His shock of white hair was nestled comfortably against his arms, piled together as a makeshift pillow. The sight made her think of those long, long nights in college; thinking you’d close your eyes for a minute--only to be adrift in seconds. 

Smiling wryly, she reached into a nearby closet to retrieve a blanket before draping it gently across his shoulders. Torn between waking him up and guiding him to bed or leaving him be, she decided on the latter. She got the feeling that waking him up would only mean “a few more minor edits” to the composition he was working on, leaving sleep an afterthought. While she knew he often couldn’t help himself, she didn’t want him neglecting his health all the same. 

She’d be back with some hot chocolate in a few hours, just how he liked it.

As she was about to slip back out of the room, the hand at his elbow clumsily grasped for hers resting on the covered keys. Heat bloomed across her face, ears burning as he clung to her warmth. 

“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.” She sat down on the piano bench carefully, trying not to jostle him awake. “Your music will never stop being the most beautiful and soulful sound I’ve ever heard. But even a mind as impressive as yours needs plenty of rest--even more so, I’d wager. You work yourself too hard sometimes, Wolfie.” She leaned until her shoulder brushed his, “But I’ll always be here to make sure you don’t overdo it too much. Sweet dreams my only love.”

Vincent van Gogh (he’s babie your honor):

MC was on her laundry rounds, Vincent’s aprons now thoroughly washed and folded for his use once again. She knocked on the door murmuring a greeting--though fully anticipated he might not respond. While he was usually so sweet and attentive, it was almost like he became an entirely different person when painting. Utterly serious, intensely focused; any attempts at speaking to him would require many tries before he came back to himself with a beaming smile. 

She sighed dreamily, easily picturing it. His eyes would always be stunning, a cerulean to rival the calm waters of the Mediterranean Sea. But in the midst of his greatest passion? They burned bright enough to make her forget the rest of the world existed.

Trying not to embarrass herself on unsteady feet, she opened the door cautiously to find his easel abandoned. Shocked, she scanned the rest of the room until she found him strewn across the couch; a blanket haphazard in its provision of cover. With a gentle smile she stored away the fresh aprons in the dresser before she approached him, kneeling close to the couch so that she could tuck him in properly.

He let out a pleased little huff before shifting slightly in his sleep, body angled in her direction. There was a faint smile on his lips, evidence of what was likely a pleasant dream or peaceful rest. She traced the outline of his ear cuff with insatiable fingers, eyes glistening a little when he nuzzled into the faint touch--trapping her between his cheek and his arm. 

“You’re more precious to me than anything else in this world, Vince,” the murmur was barely audible, he didn’t stir. “I can’t imagine my life without you, and if I’m honest--no part of me really wants to imagine it. This warmth is the greatest gift I’ve ever known; thank you for choosing to share it with me. I love you so much, sweetheart.”

Le Comte de Saint Germain (SAN GERUMAN HAKKSHAKKU):

Every day is a long ass day when you have 10+ children (yes, Leonardo, you are in that child count I hope you’re happy >:| ). For all his half-hearted complaints about the exhaustion and noisiness though, he loves his bubs, and wouldn’t have things any other way.

Even so, it doesn’t stop the delighted giggling that shakes her shoulders when she finds him fast asleep in his favorite armchair. His tie is undone and askew, head lolling to the side--any attempt at his usual poise long forgotten. While she most often found him to be charming and delightful, she loved it even more when he felt comfortable sharing these parts of himself too. 

She set aside the tea she would always have prepared at this hour and reached for the coat he had draped across the opposite chair, settling it carefully over his form. Resisting every urge to join him--Sebas would need her help preparing dinner--she carded a hand through his hair, tucking it behind his ear so it wouldn’t tickle him while he was asleep.

He was so lovely like this, face unmarred by the weight of several lifetimes that found him when he was awake. No matter how early she rose when they were together, she rarely ever got the privilege of seeing him a little drowsy, lost to rest as he was now. She brushed light kisses to his eyelids, smiling when he half-sighed her name.

“Tuckered yourself out did you? You big worrywart.” She resisted the urge to find his hand and entwine it with hers. “I promise to watch over them, so rest easy, my dearest love.” She played with the collar, tucking him in further. “I know everyone here is precious to you. But remember that you’re the most important person in my life too,” she leaned her forehead gently against his. “While I love to see everyone get along, I love to see you happy and well-rested even more. You’ll always be the only one for me, [insert Comte’s real name].” 

Bonus continuation because I still can’t help myself apparently, somebody please take my laptop away from me:

Arms like steel bands enclosed her in his embrace, a sleepy exhale washing over her ear as she shivered a little at the sudden warmth.

“Mm, ma cherie, surely you didn’t think you’d get away with that kind of teasing...”

“But I wasn’t teasing you! I was completely serious.”

Laughter shook his chest and hers too, making her melt at the undisguised affection in the hands that settled her close to his heart.

“Then you must be punished for such foul play. To think you would ruthlessly attack me while asleep, bien-aime.”

“And how might I atone for this egregious indiscretion?”

She could feel him smile against her shoulder, the rascal. “Stay here a little while longer with me.” As if he had any intention of letting her go. Not that she minded, honestly.

“Threaten me with a good time.” she mumbled, stroking a hand soothingly along his back as they closed their eyes for a while.

A few more minutes couldn’t do any harm, could it?

Kitten Adoption

I kept accidentally making this Mankai-centric instead of SakyoIzu focused OTL

You, Anon, have found my weakness. I love cats owo talk to me any day about cats please omg they’re so wonderful ❤❤❤

1001% Izumi’s fault

She brings it up in passing a lot over the years but never really moves forward with it in part because she knows convincing Sakyo would be hard, and in part because things can get intense around the theater and sometimes they get so wrapped up in work the others have to look out for them

When you can barely hold yourself together, can you really look after a pet? It’s a debate she struggles with even though she knows the other members would help look after the pet when needed

Sakyo isn’t stupid and knows Izumi really wants a cat and, it takes a while, but he starts to think a cat really wouldn’t be too bad

The theater isn’t struggling to stay afloat anymore, so they really could afford to take care of a cat or two

And then he sees Izumi interacting with the neighborhood cats, gentle, loving, voice doing that high-pitched sweet-talking thing people do to talk to their pets, and he’s a goner

Literally that night when it’s just the two of them chilling in silence, Sakyo just states, “Let’s get a cat.”

Izumi thinks he’s joking at first, and it’s so random, but Sakyo has been dwelling on it all evening, wondering what to say, replaying the image of Izumi in his mind over and over again and this man is simply smitten

When she realizes he’s serious, Izumi is over the moon. Extra giddy, super happy, nothing can seem to phase her and Sakyo wonders why they didn’t do this earlier

Meanwhile the rest of the dorms wonder what the fuck is happening and fear for their stomachs as Izumi insists on making curry for all three meals until they adopt the kitten

Do they adopt from a rescue? Ask Misumi if he knows any kittens in need of homes? Go to a cat cafe-to-adoption place? They could do any, but it basically becomes Izumi fawning over all of them and Sakyo having to gently remind her that no, they can’t adopt all of them

Izumi is heartbroken and continues playing with all of the kittens, conveniently in denial, trying to figure out how she’ll choose

Sakyo mostly stays back, content to watch Izumi being surrounded by a bunch of tiny little fluff balls

He pets the kittens when they approach him or when Izumi hands him one, but doesn’t interact much otherwise

Mostly because they’re so tiny what if he hurts them?

But there’s one kitten who keeps coming back to him, climbing over his limbs, batting his glasses, nomming his fingers and yes, he finds it a little annoying, yet he can’t help but smile at this rambunctious little fellow

Izumi sees all of this and decides that they’re adopting this kitten

Then finds out that this kitten has a sibling and “Sakyo, we can’t just leave them alone! They need a playmate!”

They go home with 2 kittens

They got the kittens for Izumi why do they keep pestering Sakyo?

Tie between Izumi teasing Sakyo for being their favorite and sulking at him for being their favorite

So glad they adopted two kittens because they can play with each other. Sakyo shudders at the menace that 1 kitty would be without a playmate (he loves them, but 3AM is human sleep time not play time)

Izumi refers to them as the kittens mama and papa and Sakyo blushes every time

The dorm members find it really hard to take Sakyo seriously when he’s sternly lecturing them, then speaking really sweetly to the kittens, then lecturing them again in the span of 20s

Izumi will spam Sakyo’s cellphone with pictures of the kittens and her

“Out on a walk!”

“LOOK AT THEM SNOOZING”

“Come home soon, Papa”

Definitely makes an attempt at a cat-safe curry

Will use the kittens as excuses to be lazy

“Can you please get me some water?”

“You can get it yourself.”

“I can’t, I have a cat sleeping on me.”

sighs and rolled eyes

Rules: tag 9 people you would like to know/catch up with.

I was tagged by @rollychan \o/ Thanks! Though wow, it’s been quite a while since I posted anything...

Last song: Yuri on Ice (the song) and History Maker, because I rewatched Yuri on Ice over the past week. Still one of my top three anime, where the Yuri on Ice song never fails to take my breath and heart away, and History Maker is always so inspiring <3 <3 <3 And that sheer chemistry and utter love between Yuri and Viktor... so beautiful... T.T Can’t wait for the movie to come out!

Last movie: I have no idea OTL I remember going to the drive thru movie theater for the first time to see Raya and the Last Dragon shortly after it came out? The movie itself unfortunately wasn’t great but not terrible (saved by the sexual tension between Raya and Namaari), and the drive thru theater experience was super fun!

Currently watching:  Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. A fun and fantastic series overall \o/ I’ve long since caught up on all of the colored manga available up through Part 8, and am finally watching the anime from the beginning to get the full experience :) Part 4 isn’t my favorite but Josuke is definitely my favorite Jojo since he’s such a good kid ^.^

Currently reading: Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch. At some point after catching up on the Dresden Files (one of my favorites), I was looking for similar recommendations and came across this. An excellent mystery series, and I love how it combines the police work with supernatural elements in such an entertaining way :D

Tagging: No one, because I’m such a rule breaker ^.^ But feel free to join in! Hope everyone is safe and well!

[liechi]

/please/ tell me everything abt your college drama patho AU, I would absolutely delighted to hear all abt if possible :)

OHHH MY GOODNESS IM SO HONORED SOMEONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT IT ;__; I WASNT EXPECTING THIS WAHFHGH this is kinda silly but its the first au ive actually come up with myself.. im very much one of those “creative” types who can draw but cant write or come up with stories for SHIT so :’3c thank u for asking..

i ended up writing quite a lot so i will stash it all under the cut ^__^ but here is a group pic i did of the four main players ahhhh umm this art is QUITE old so dont look too hard lmfao but here are the lads!

so the play they are doing is hamlet because 1. play within a play..... 2. the main plot of this au is whether daniil or artemy will ultimately be cast as the lead role and i love to overthink about how both of them are fitting for the part in their own unique way o_o obviously daniil is aesthetically VERY fitting with all the dark emo brooding yet witty energy we love to see. artemy... well has a dead father etc etc but more than that i think a lot of hamlet’s philosophies are very applicable to him!!

the line i included in the caption of my art (“there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy”) is actually spoken by hamlet to horatio. here “philosophy” means science or learning in general. so hamlet’s acknowledgement of the limitations of the human mind, as well as his acceptance of it and the existence of unexplainable phenomena of the heavens and earth.. well i think all of that really lends itself to a strong argument for artemy to be considered for hamlet as well!! and thats just one example n_n

here are daniil and artemy’s bios (i havent made a proper illustration for them yet im sorry boys T_T)

daniil (21)

major: theater minor: ??? (past minors: biology, chemistry, anthropology)

hes an absolute prodigy. his acting style is deliberate and methodical. he places extreme importance on following the “old masters’” techniques and styles. often cast in melancholic roles and he himself prefers tragic drama.

he’s taken lessons his whole life and devotes most of his spare time to bettering himself with practice and improving his technique, both with the club and on his own (sometimes with eva n_n)

regarded as the natural choice for this season’s lead, until artemy shows up and proves worthy competition. cue the instant “rivalry” (instigated entirely by daniil)

despite his ego and mercurial temper, he rarely causes trouble for directors or fellow actors. at the end of the day he really just wants to be able to say he gave a successful performance

a life-long learner; cannot settle on a minor if his life depended on it

artemy (20)

major: dance, w/ focus on traditional russian styles minor: childhood studies

not originally interested in acting, he joined the theater club for various half-hearted reasons (to gain more performance experience, to have a more grounded routine, to make friends…?)

extraordinary innate acting ability. quickly recognized for his spectacular natural talent and, notably, improvisation skills.

he’s pretty amused by daniil and the sincerity of his rivalry and various antics in the club (which usually involve andrey). he’s not so competitive himself, but not so meek that he would simply forfeit the lead to daniil.

you wouldn’t hear him admit it but he’s gradually become genuinely invested in the club and theater/drama in general

^again sorry for the wall of text OTL.. anyway here are the bios i did for the stamatins!! AGAIN THE ART COULD BE A LLLLOOOT BETTER but the info is pretty much all there :D

and here is a more recent little pic i did for eva and yulia!! n_n

you know the chris fleming bit where he describes the line between being a theater student and an engineering student as “a nasty netherspace filled with sinister characters with confounding agendas.” LOVE that for yulia.

lara is also in this au she and mark are in charge of the costumes n_n clara is like a middle schooler who keeps showing up to watch their auditions and criticize them from the audience and nobody knows how she keeps getting in. the kains are like the wealthy alumni benefactors/sponsors who keep the theater program afloat. little vlad is the one greasy kid in stage crew that nobody likes

im still thinking of what i want to do with aglaya, anna angel, rubin, etc. but they are all definitely there :3c

How about 8, 9 and 29 for Anastasia?

Ana-Banana! :D

8. Their family house – how does it look like? What’s the interior like, is there garden outside? Trinkets, furniture, books?

The Pinkstone-Read house is a well-sized house made completely of red brick with very little outdoor space, but plenty of enchantments on the inside that make it roomier than its exterior would suggest. Jasper’s room, for instance, has been magically expanded into a quasi-apartment with its own kitchenette and separate entrance, while Preston’s room is actually attached via a set of trapdoors to the magically sound-proofed garage so that he can go down and work on tinkering with cars and other Muggle technology without bothering the rest of his family. Ana’s room was originally the attic, but Bradley, Preston, and Jasper all helped Ana put her own stamp on the space by raising the ceilings somewhat and adding a few windows to bring in more light. Ana’s mother Bonnie even helped her daughter pick out some gauzy curtains and electric string lights to hang over the windows and around her bed. Ana’s attic room turned out to be a dream come true, since it gave her wonderful “Jo March” vibes and the enchanted windows only stimulated her imagination further. She’s written a LOT up in her room, thanks to the efforts of her stepfather and brothers. There’s also a grand staircase that descends down into a very large dining room/living room space, which becomes a ballroom for the Pinkstone-Read’s annual Christmas balls. Its decor is very influenced by the Pinkstone-Reads’ respective passions -- Muggle technology (Preston and Bradley), fencing and stage-combat (Jasper), the Gothic Victorian aesthetic (Ana, Jasper), the steampunk subculture (Preston), theater in general (Bonnie, Bradley, Jasper), and books and writing (Ana) -- so it’s kind of an eclectic, faintly vintage space that perfectly melds the past and the future and then puts a romantic filter over it.

9. Family personal dynamics – it’s the 80s Britain, are they typical for their group or do they go against the grain? Are parents important for your mc? How the parents deal with Jacob debacle? Any eccentric family members? International ties?

Okay, so...to start with, it’s important to understand that Bonnie Pinkstone isn’t really that great of a mother. After divorcing from Ana’s father John Read, Bonnie immediately went out and dated several more men, all of whom were either actively hostile toward or just flat-out ignored Ana. It made it so that when Ana first met the Pinkstones, she was convinced that they were going to hate her. Bonnie also has a problem actually enforcing discipline, preferring to treat Ana more like a friend than a daughter, which sort of forced Ana to grow up a bit too fast. This doesn’t even touch on Bonnie’s unexamined weightism, expressed by how she’d (for instance) express concern for Ana’s health at random times and teach Ana not to wear certain dresses because it would make her look like (in her words) “a sack of potatoes tied in two.” Ana’s uncomfortable relationship with her mother prompted her to romanticize her absent father all the more in her mind, but it also made it so that she grew all the closer to her stepfather and stepbrothers.

Bradley Pinkstone is the best parental figure in Ana’s life and easily the man she respects more than any other. As a Gryffindor alumni himself, Bradley understands and encourages Ana’s passions to the nth degree and inspires her with his strong pro-Muggle and Squib activism. Never has Ana ever felt like Bradley sees her as less “his child” than his biological children, and her gratitude for that is hard to fully express. Bradley lost his first wife, Jasper and Preston’s mother Pamina, to a violent group of blood purists who’d wanted to send Bradley a “message” for his political stances, and so the Pinkstone patriarch is incredibly protective of his family, his new wife and daughter included, and considering that Bonnie is a Muggle and Ana is Muggle-born, Bradley has both become all the more passionate to fight for the world they “deserve,” and become all the more terrified of them being targeted because of him just like Pamina did.

Jasper and Preston may have both been graduated from Hogwarts by the time Ana joined their family, but they still immediately latched onto their new “baby sister.” Both of them really influenced Ana’s fashion sense by their involvement in the Gothic Victorian and steampunk subcultures and were very...interested when they first caught wind of Ana’s “interest” in Charlie Copper @drinkyoursoupbitch. (Upon first meeting "the new boyfriend,” the two Pinkstone brothers “impressed” him into service at the theater so as to both pick on him mercilessly and properly “test” him. Fortunately Charlie took the whole thing in very good humor and won them both over. It took Slytherin!big-brother!Jasper a little longer, but going a round with Charlie with his practice swords helped some.) Jasper in particular is very protective of Ana, not just because he was Preston’s older sibling previously, but because he was old enough to remember his mother’s murder and thus shares a lot of the same fears Bradley has about Ana’s ancestry putting her in harm’s way. Jasper and Ana share a lot of interests in common, including classic literature and symphonic metal music, while Preston -- also being a Gryffindor alumni -- has a very similar world-view and attitude to Ana the way his father Bradley does. 

29. MC’s close people dynamics – it can be anything from aromantic soulmates to romantic dynamics, the special people for your MC and how these relationships change over time?

Ana’s first real and best friend in the whole wide world is Robin Isherwood @cursebreakerfarrier. He was the first person she ever let read any of her stories or journals, and she writes more letters to him than anybody else, including her own family and her future husband.

Ana’s OTL and co-star in the friggin’ chick flick that is their relationship is Charlie “Clueless” Copper @drinkyoursoupbitch. One would never have thought that a quiet, distrustful, tough-looking but soft-hearted Gryffindor bookworm and an upbeat, friendly, outdoorsy-sort Ravenclaw Quidditch player would ever be such a good match, but once Ana finally decided to give Charlie a chance and the two became friends, they found they were truly kindred spirits. Despite their differences, both of them are very honest, modest, sincere, self-assured, and morally-minded people with a love of literature, a fear of being hurt by those people they let into their hearts, and a fascination with the unknown and unexplored. Over time (and after a few stumbling blocks), their close friendship morphs into a deep, respectful romance -- once that transformation is complete, just about everyone in Charlie and Ana’s inner circles is pretty much like “FINALLY!” XDD

Gangsta Week Day 2: Favorite Character(s)

While I love so many characters from Gangsta, most of my followers would probably know by now who is at the top of the list...*cough* Nicolas *cough* I know I am totally predictable oTL

For now, have a couple headcanons for our grumpy Twilight:

He loves watching Godzilla movies since they don’t really require reading lips or subtitles.

Doesn’t really like going to see movies in theaters.

He’s a food snob. 

He will eat just about anything you put in front of him, but he is reluctant to admit something tastes good. He has no problem shit talking when something tastes horrible though.

Not dexterous enough for video games. Controllers feel too small in his hands and he’s more prone to breaking them.

Nicolas will never drink Pellegrino. He would rather drink tap water.

Monroe was the one who got him hooked on Perrier.

Does not like being called Nicky and will outright ignore anyone who calls him that. (unless they are very very very very close to him...in private...without Worick or Alex around...which is no one that he’ll speak of ...and is usually signed slightly different than how his name is signed by everyone else).

(I need to stop doing these last minute.)

Edit: Have a couple more:

Nicolas used to play with the alley cats when Wallace was with clients.

He knows all the cats in the neighborhood

He keeps a bag of cat treats tucked into his jacket. Worick is usually confused when it's his turn to do laundry and there's an empty bag still in an inner pocket.

Finding His Princess

Pairing: Johnny x Female OC

Genre: Royal!AU, Angst, Romance

Summary: A servant and a prince can never be. Or is there some truth to the tale of Cinderella?

Wordcount: 2.7K

A/N: This was just supposed to be a drabble... until it wasn’t. OTL Inspired by this post by @hyuckio.

If anyone else looked at this room, they would doubtlessly be caught up in the splendor.

The warm mahogany panels of the walls and floor, polished daily, covered by hand-sewn Persian rugs and oil paintings in gilded frames alike. The four-poster bed with its one-of-a-kind blanket filled with the softest down in the land and embroidered with real gold. The heavy silver inkstand on the desk that’s worth more than most people’s yearly income.

           But, having grown up surrounded by such wealth, you are blind to it. You only see the hints of the room’s owner.

           The piano in the corner whose keys have edges rounded by love and practice, but he won’t replace. The stacks of CDs and albums organized by affection rather than alphabet or genre, so he can find them according to his mood. The old white whale doll with mismatched eyes tucked safely beneath the pillow.

           Your eyes burn with the pain growing and spreading in your chest as you take it all in for one last time. You wish you could see his smile one more time, hear one more of those stupid jokes he loves to tell. One last chance to look at the man you love and can never have.

           For how can a servant girl, a part time one at that, marry a prince, even in these modern times?

           Easy answer: you can’t.

There’s only one task left to do. One task left before you leave him and the palace behind to try to reconstruct your heart into the resemblance of a working one. A heart that does not belong entirely and forever to the heir to the throne, Johnny.

Yet you cannot force your fingers to place the cerulean hoodie in its proper place in the dresser drawer. Instead, they tighten around the fabric, bring it to your face. The smell of him surrounds you and summons memories like a beautiful, taunting demon.

When Johnny hugged you to chase away your tears after you skinned your knee in the days you were both younger and so innocent as to believe you could be friends forever. When you held him as he cried the night after his mother’s funeral, alone in the shadows of her favorite rose garden. When your head rested on his shoulder while the two of you—

The bedroom door slams shut and you guiltily drop the hoodie. Johnny leans against the door, eyes shut. He looks so handsome in his official uniform of a navy-blue military jacket with gold trims and epaulets, fitted white pants, and tall black boots. A true prince.

But the gold crown nestled in his dark hair seems to weigh down on him, pushing his forehead so it creases in exhaustion. Johnny sighs, long and hard, and rubs his temples. You ache to replace his fingers with yours, but you stay still. He isn’t yours to touch, let alone desire.

Johnny opens his eyes. He takes a step further into the room, removing the crown. His frown deepens as he looks at it. His arm raises as if to toss it onto the bed, but hurriedly returns to his side when he notices you.

An earnest grin springs onto his face. “_____. I didn’t see you.”

“Crown Prince Johnny,” you reply, bobbing a curtsy and using the movement to hide your closing the drawer. “I’m sorry, I was about to leave.”

“Crown Prince?” His smile incrementally fades. “Since when have you bothered with that title when we’re alone? We’re still friends, aren’t we?”

Friends. How much pain that word brings your heart. You attempt a smile. “We are, but since you’ve begun looking for a bride, it isn’t very proper to do so, Your Highness.”

Johnny’s smile disappears entirely. “Proper.”

“Has your search for your missing princess been successful?” you ask, even though your heart twinges. You already know the answer.

“Only in finding a number of charlatans and gold-diggers.” He sighs again and crosses the room to slump in the overstuffed, velvet chair. “I’m ready to give up and accept the princess my father chose, ______. His deadline is only a few days away and I can’t find the girl from the ball. I thought we had something, but why would she have run away if that was true? Why wouldn’t she have come back? Maybe I and everyone else at the ball was hallucinating and she never existed.”

Your body moves out of habit before you realize what you’re doing. Coming beside him, you turn on the small stereo and select the playlist that Johnny always listens to when he needs soothing. As his father nears retirement, those times are becoming more and more frequent. You ignore the emerald dragon mask also sitting on the desk, its empty eyes watching you accusingly.

“I hope you find your happiness,” you say.

When he doesn’t answer, you glance to the door. You want so badly to lay a reassuring hand on his shoulder, to run your fingers through his hair. You should probably leave before you give in.

But again, your body betrays you, your mouth blurting out, “I’m leaving tomorrow.”

“Leaving?” Johnny’s head comes up from where it had dropped to his hands. The concern on his face is genuine and all the more meaningful for it. “Is your mother sick again?”

“She was fine during my last call home, thank you. I’m leaving the palace for good.”

His features, so normally schooled to control every emotion, betray his alarm with his widened eyes and deepened frown. “Just like that? Why? Did something happen? Did someone do something to you?”

“No, nothing like that. It’s just… time for me to move on.” You try to give him a true smile as you back away from him. “Thank you for all your kindness over the years, Your Highness. I will… miss you.”

You turn away to go before your courage fails you, but Johnny’s hand snakes out to grab yours. “Wait!”

He says nothing else. You risk a look over your shoulder and find him staring at your joined hands. The electric tingle winding up your arm starts your heart stuttering. It tap-dances in your ears as your cheeks heat. You need to get out, run away, but you’re frozen.

“Johnny,” you murmur.

He meets your eyes at his name. After another beat, he lets go of you and picks up the soft hairbrush sitting on his desk. “Could you help me fix my hair, please? I have to meet with the interior ministers soon.”

“Surely your manservant would—”

“_____, please.”

Although you aren’t looking in his eyes, you cannot deny him nor yourself such a small thing. You accept the brush from him. He turns in his chair for you.

As you pass the brush through his hair, Johnny’s shoulders loosen, relax under your steady strokes. You smile to yourself. Johnny’s mother use to brush his hair when he was a child before he went to bed. Even now, the motions calm him like no other. He was surely meant to be born a big cat, like a puma, and only became a human by mistake.

Even after his hair is returned to its perfect appearance, you continue brushing. You cannot help the small indulgence. It will be the last time you are with him so.

The thought jars your practical side back into place. This is foolishness. Abruptly, you put the brush back down on the desk. “I think you’re done, Your Highness.”

Johnny doesn’t look back. Lifting his crown from his lap, he says, “Put this on for me, please. From the front so you’re sure it looks alright.”

With slow steps, you circle the chair and take the crown from him. You cautiously place it back on his head, avoiding his eyes that you feel so intently on you. You know if you look, your resolve may crumble in the face of the entire world he holds there. Your world.

Satisfied with your work, you lower your hands and say, “You look like a true prince.”

Johnny stiffens. “Strawberries,” he murmurs.

“What?” His sudden comment forces your eyes down to his in surprise.

“You smell like strawberries,” Johnny repeats.

He lurches to his feet, so you stumble backwards against the desk. Your heart thumps hard, once, twice, as Johnny’s probing gaze commands yours. It purposefully roams your face until you’re afraid he can see your every thought.

“Hug me,” he says.

“Wh—what?”

“Hug me.”

You remain frozen, mind racing to comprehend. You take too long.

Johnny steps closer and sweeps you up against him. You should break away, run away. Run before you give in to your heart’s desire and stay by his side.

Your bodies fit together like puzzle pieces lost and reunited. His arms hold you tenderly, fiercely. His cheek presses against yours, breath on your neck raising goosebumps on your skin.

A shaking breath escapes you. You close your eyes and let your head rest against his chest. Just for one moment, you can be weak. Soak it, him, in to create a precious memory to lock away in your heart.

Johnny lifts his head. Again, you can’t look away when his eyes find yours.

He studies you a breath longer. Softly, his words a puff of air against your mouth, he says, “It’s you, isn’t it?”

All the warmth flees your body. Your heart stops and drops to your feet. How…? Of course, you should have known. Beneath Johnny’s carefree manners lies a quick and observant mind.

You shouldn’t have let him get this close. You hadn’t meant for it to go this far.

All the kingdom had been invited to Johnny’s birthday ball. Nobles and commoners rubbed elbows and traded jokes from behind masks that rendered them all equals for the night. You had just wanted to go to the ball, experience the glitter and elegance for yourself. In a dress borrowed from the royal castoffs and a mask borrowed from the royal theater troupe, you watched from the sides.

Then, Johnny was in front of you. Even with his face hidden behind a black panther’s snarling face, you knew him. Dressed in all black, sleek as the creature of his disguise, he held out his hand. And, with no other choice, you took it.

It seemed a dream, a marvelous, sparkling, floating dream. The colors and sounds fading into the background until only you and Johnny existed in the whole world. Johnny’s strong arm at your back, his large hand cradling yours like a delicate bird. His eyes gazing into yours with a kind of wonder that left you breathless.

When he led you into a secluded section of the garden, away from curious whispers, Johnny’s eyes shone even brighter with the moonlight. Somehow, it made his words sultrier, more adoring as well as he whispered them.

When he kissed you, you were lost, completely and deeply. That secret love you had held for Johnny for so long burst into life like the full bloomed roses surrounding you. His kiss was more perfect than you could have ever imagined.

Above you, the bell in the clock tower tolled. The brassy tones shattered the spell like a brick does stained glass.

With a gasp, you pulled away. This was Johnny Seo, Crown Prince and future king. He was meant for someone greater than you, a nameless face in the sea of palace servants.

Ignoring his cry, you fled. You felt him reach for you, grasping. He tripped and the knotted ribbon holding your mask in place pulled, then broke. You ran faster, face in your hands to hide both it and the tears flowing down your cheeks.

He would never know it was you, but now… you have nowhere to hide.

Johnny plucks the mask from behind you, keeping one arm wrapped around you. You stop breathing as he settles it on your face.

“It is you,” Johnny says again, his voice barely above a whisper. “Tell me what I said to you in the garden.”

The thought to lie and deny him still dies in your throat. Your voice trembles as you cling tighter to his coat. “You said… that you felt that our hearts are connected under the same sky.”

You have a second to glimpse the blinding smile on Johnny’s face before his mouth swoops down to yours. His kiss is jubilant, eager. With that kiss, he takes your heart, your body, your everything. If you weren’t caught between him and the desk, you would assuredly be a melted heap on the floor.

When he at last allows you a breath, you can’t help but stare up at him. All words and thoughts robbed from your mind. Johnny strokes his thumb across your cheek, down to the swollen pout of your lips. He kisses you again, softer, but still as soul-claiming as the first.

“Johnny, we can’t,” you protest weakly. The bright crown on his head catches your eye, reminds you of his duties. “You’re supposed to marry a princess, preserve the integrity of royal line—”

“Whoever marries me will become a princess, royal blood or not,” he interrupts. Johnny cups your face in his hands, confidence and stubbornness shining in his eyes. “This is modern day, not the Dark Ages. My father gave me his word; you heard him. If I found the girl from the ball, I could marry her.”

Hearing the word ‘marry’ makes you almost as dizzy as Johnny’s kiss. To be able to be with him as best friend, lover, wife… only yesterday you would have thought it impossible.

“But why me?” you ask in a daze.

Of all things, Johnny laughs. He kisses the tip of your nose. “Because I love you.”

“You love that girl from the ball.”

“Who was also you. I was just too stupid to realize.”

“Johnny.”

He refuses to let you turn away. “No. I love you, _____. Does that really seem so unlikely to you? You were a vision at the ball, an angel I thought had sprung from my mind and one I saw slip through my fingers. But you are the angel who’s been by my side and who’s in front of me now.”

Tears spring from the corners of your eyes. How could any of what he’s saying be true. You grew up together and not once did he show you more affection or consideration than any other. Or were you blind to his affections too?

“_____, do you know how crazy I was when you went away to university?” he asks. “Every day I missed you, and I told myself it was because you were, are, one of my dearest friends. When you came back, I made sure you got this job, so I could see you every once in a while, if not every day.”

You stare back at him, speechless.

“Marrying anyone wasn’t in my head at that point. Then my father brought it up and started parading all those possible matches in front of me like some twisted fashion show and… I don’t know. I got lost, I guess. I didn’t want to get married yet.”

“So you don’t want to get married at all?”

Johnny winces. “That didn’t come out right. I didn’t want to get married to any of them. I didn’t feel anything for them. I don’t want a marriage of convenience or alliance. Politics doesn’t create and keep a family. That’s not what I want with my life. With you, it wouldn’t be that way. It’d be…”

“It would be what?” you murmur when he doesn’t continue.

“Do you know what my father once told me?” he offers instead.

You shake your head.

“He told me that sometimes, the treasure you seek is lying right beneath your nose.” Johnny smiles. “And he was right. I want to spend the rest of my life rediscovering it. Do you forgive this fool for taking so long to see you?”

You lick your lips. Presented with the opportunity for such happiness, especially a happiness you never thought possible, could you refuse? Looking into Johnny’s eyes, all the worries and reasons you two could never be vanish like shadows in the sun.

Reaching up, you adjust his crown. Then, meeting his eyes, you shyly nod. “I think I could if you kiss me again.”

And he does.

[reifromrfa]

Hello!! I just found your blog and live it. I loved that post you did with the RFA and MC as Mimi from Rent. I don't know if you are taking headcanon request right now, but if you are I was wondering about Jumin's reaction if the MC was playing Victoria from the musical Cats. And or the RFA's reaction to MC playing Velma Kelly or anyone in the Cell Block Tango Scene from Chicago. Sorry this was so much, I just got overly excited about musical headcannons ❤️

Hello!! I’m so glad you liked the Mimi HC! 😄  Sorry this took a while, I was cramming Jumin x MC stuff ^^;;; I haven’t watched Cats yet I’m sorry OTL ;o; I’ve watched Chicago though! But instead of a reaction to the whole musical, I thought it would be funny to have them react to MC performing Cell Block Tango instead :)) Thank you, anon, and I hope you like it! :)

Yoosung

Totally relieved that the run of Rent is finally done, now he can have you all to himself again

Plays LOLOL while waiting for you but then his friends start asking him about you and what you do for a living and he’s confused

“Why? What’s going on?”

And then he gets the link to your video

Poor Yoosung is shocked when he sees you on screen

Sees the word “six” in a whole new light now and gets red whenever you say it

But MC what are you wearing

The sight of his girlfriend in those clothes immediately gets him ~ehem~ excited

He glared at the guy on the screen

“Get your hands off my MC!”

Is distraught, especially when the guy drops to the floor and he sees you on top of the guy

Why isn’t your cleavage censored oh my God

And holy shit that split you’re doing as you lower yourself on the guy —he would actually be really amazed if only you had more clothes on

And then when you pull that red cloth from the guy’s mouth, Yoosung loses it and calls you

You tell him you’re on your way home and that you have a surprise for him

He tells you he has a surprise for you too

Be prepared to face yandere Yoosung when you get home

Yoosung then gets into a lot of fights with his LOLOL guild members who’ve seen the video ;;;

He will always defend you though, and is also secretly glad that the rest of the world is jealous that he has a hot girlfriend

He still wishes you could take the video down though ;;;

Zen

You texted him that your theater’s company rendition of a popular Broadway song will be posted online that evening and he rushes home early so you can watch it together

You didn’t tell him what the song was, wanting it to be a surprise

“Babe, as long as this isn’t you performing Out Tonight I think I’m good.”

Weeeell… ;;;

So when you click play on your laptop and the screen turns black and he hears the opening notes, he turns to you with wide eyes and his jaw falls to the floor

Oh God no, not again ;;;

Of course he knew this song, he was an actor! That’s why you didn’t tell him!

When he sees you dressed up as Velma, leaning on the prison bars with a cigarette in your hands, he realizes that he never wants to see you smoking because it’s bad for your health and he makes a promise with himself to stop smoking

But then you slide down the bars seductively and he forgets what he was thinking just moments before

During your solo part, his face gets super red and he covers his mouth, his eyes focused on the screen

You’re worried that you did a horrible job at portraying Velma but then he starts kissing you

The beast has been unleashed

In the morning you wake up sore but he kisses you and praises your performance

“Babe, as usual, you were amazing. Your anger looked so raw that it really felt like you were Velma.”

“But please don’t do this ever again. I might get imprisoned for murder if your fans get too rowdy over this video.” ;;;;;

Wouldn’t ask Seven to take it down but constantly checks the comments on your video and reports anyone who makes rude or obscene comments

But he asks if you still have Velma’s costume

Jumin

He’s been away on an extended business trip and when he comes home, you try to postpone telling him as much as you could, because you know how he would feel

But as you’re eating dinner, he casually asks you how work was and how the video was coming along (Jaehee how could you tell him ;;;) and you know he would find out sooner or later so you decide to show him the video

Jumin is not pleased x 1000000

Stone-faced throughout the whole video

You’re worried that you went too far this time

If you think the Ice Age was bad, then you obviously didn’t know Jumin the Snow King Han

“MC…Darling…I love you. But must you really do this?”

You tell him it’s because you love performing and also that was the gig that your manager got you but it’s fine since you like Chicago the musical

It’s not that bad, is it?

Jumin can only sigh and pull you close, saying he loves you but he really can’t have the rest of the world see his wife’s beautiful body

He respects you and he loves you and thinks your performance is spectacular, but he’d rather have you perform the spread eagle for him privately perform roles that didn’t require you to be half-naked

You agree and tell him that’s the last time you’ll ever do it and he kisses you and praises your wonderful acting

When you’re asleep though, he’ll watch the video again and scroll through the comments and see all the obscene things that people have posted

Also sees Zen’s comments and makes a silent vow to make him suffer when he gets the chance cough Elizabeth cough

Immediately calls Saeyoung and asks him to remove the video from the face of the earth, but requests a copy for himself

Also threatens your manager to stop giving you sexy roles ;;;

He acts all jealous and angry but really, he’s just concerned for his wife because the world is a dangerous place and being a rich businessman with a hot wife makes it all the more dangerous for you

Saeyoung

The moment your video got uploaded, his computer pinged, signaling that someone posted something that’s related to you

You were on your way home and haven’t told Saeyoung what you’ve been up to for the past few days so when he loads the video, he gets the shock of his life

You appear behind a prison cell, dressed in nothing but skimpy lingerie and you keep saying “Pop” while moving seductively on the bars

Saeyoung is once again as red as a tomato but that’s not all

You step out from behind the bars and walk towards a man and oh my God MC why are you running your hands down his body

He’s impressed at how well you dance but why are you sitting on that man’s knee?

Has a hard time swallowing when you lift your leg close to your head, he didn’t know you were that flexible

Finally understands what’s happening and watches the rest of the video

Nearly falls out of his chair when you jump the guy from behind and strangle him with the red cloth

Makes a note to never to get on your bad side

Still unhappy about the fact that this guy keeps touching you

He watches the rest of the video and has to admit that you’ve gotten even better at performing

But this video cannot be on the internet where everybody can watch his precious MC move like that

Have you forgotten that anything related to technology is his territory? ;;;

So when you get home, you ask him if he’s seen the video and he shrugs, a clueless look on his face

It’s days later when he confesses that he deleted the video from the face of the earth and only he has a copy of it

No wonder he left all those hickeys the other night

favorite canon ship : since she only has one atm, noey/ryoto \o/ favorite non-canon ship : n/a

ideal physical traits : none, really. ideal personality traits : hmm... confident, sympathetic and empathetic, level-headed... literally anyone who can handle her personality lmao.

unattractive physical traits :  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ unattractive personality traits :  the list is long and never ending, but off the top of my head... smugness, egocentricity, manipulative, vanity, ill-temperament, abusive, literally every thing that is mathieu and the other vampires who own cerberus lmao.

ideal date :  she’s sheltered as hell and hasn’t been able to do much, so take her somewhere new and exciting and she’d be really happy. it could be an amusement park or a theater or urban exploring or even just a simple date to the park and she’d be into it.

do they have a type? : nah, not really. average relationship length : she’s never been in one aw. commitment level : gfvuhgfiuh this is tricky since she can’t exactly go on dates or see her partner much considering she’s always confined to cerberus and is only out when on a mission, so... she’s reluctant. esp. bc she’d be afraid of mathieu or someone else in cerberus finding out and something bad happening... buuut, if she’s in a relationship it’s pretty much ride or die since she’s fiercely loyal and wouldn’t date someone casually. opinion of public affection : she’s SHY AS HELL ABOUT IT, EVEN IF IT’S JUST A HUG OR HOLDING HANDS. past relationships? : none.

[sionnac]

“That robot arm is fantastic!  Now imagine if you had two.”

/cough I’d find you equally as appealing with two robo-arms, Shiro.

LOL.  THE VLOGS.  KEITH, ARE YOU CRYING.  SAD, BUT ALSO KIND OF AMUSING. 8DDD  

Voltron spoilers under the cut.

Also, Voltron “theater/play” episode is somehow funnier than Avatar “theater/play” episode.  “Now put on this super tight shirt and get out there!”   HAHAHAHAH.  That jab at the meddling executives IRL too 8D.  “Except for you, Shiro.  I’ll never get rid of you.  You’re our most popular character.”  You guys better not get in the way if he’s supposed to go for plot reasons D8<  IT’LL BREAK MY HEART, BUT SIX PILOTS, FIVE LIONS.  ONE OF YOU HAS TO GO.   

And also Allura pulling off a kick properly when Lance tried at least twice, failing at both times 8D

HOLD ON A SECOND HERE

Japanese, Cuban, Italian, Samoan, and whatever Keith is.  I’m just going to go out on a limb and guess no part of him is American..least not white 8D???  Is this...an American show with zero White Americans in it 8D????  BAKANA.    I suppose they could all live in future America what with the American accents...guess that’d make Pidge the typical White person 8D.  I mean, not that I mind one way or another 8D.  It’s just an interesting musing.

Wait D: Keith is an orphan D: D:  But...but he was the one who was angriest when Pidge wanted to leave, going on about how everyone has a family.  Sob.  You don’t, Keith, but you were angry for everyone else’s families.  ;___;  I MEAN, YOU DO NOW, RIGHT.  YOU’VE GOT A FAMILY NOW.  DOUBLE SOB.

Halp.  On deeper observation, I think...I think I’m in love with this show like I was with Avatar.  I LIKE ALL THESE SPACE PALADINS.  HALP.   OTL

ALSO ALSO:

“Didn't he get freaked out and kill a guy by shooting him into space because of his PTSD, It got glossed over but I'm pretty sure that counts as murder.“

I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE.    Morbid humour aside 8DDDD, poor guy.  Waking up every day must be horrifying given he’s not sure which ship he’ll end up on in the mornings.  Whispers he refused to sleep a full day after returning to Earth.  He’s afraid to sleep. 8(  Childrans show, but them details. X:  Them details.  Man, the more I think about Shiro, the worse it gets.  Guy gets alien kidnapped for a year, gets his arm hacked off by said aliens and replaced with alien robo-arm, finally makes it home, ONLY TO GET LAUNCHED BACK INTO SPACE IMMEDIATELY INTO AN INTERGALACTIC WAR AS A LEADER OF A REBELLION COALITION AND THE LEADER OF THE ALIEN WAR ROBOT AKA UNIVERSE’S LAST HOPE.  What’s your excuse, Keith.  :DDD  JKING.  I wouldn’t want to be the leader either.  No pressure, buddy.  Don’t mind that PTSD.  It’ll be fine, just fine.  No worries.  Did I mention this was a children’s show. 

If it were up to me, I’d have made it such that Shiro fought other prisoners, not just Galra, in that gladiator ring.  Because I’m a terrible person.  I mean, if we really went full dark, he fought and possibly killed other prisoners to survive, BUT THIS IS STILL A KID’S SHOW..ha.hahha.ha.  NOT LIKE YOU GUYS NEED MY HELP BEING DARK.  COUGH EATING PLANTS FERTILIZED WITH MERPEOPLE.

It’s one of those shows that’s once again moved beyond its target audience --- the idea that someone has to come to terms with the fact that her own race can commit atrocities all the same as her sworn enemies?  And vice versa, there were those among the enemy who would disagree with their own side and sacrifice their lives to fight on her side.  Ideas like this most likely fly right over the heads of kids, but it’s always nice to see cartoons not treating their audience like morons.  Because regardless of whether I understood things fully as a kid, I’d like to think those ideas seeped in subconsciously anyways, and stuff like “they won’t understand anyways” is no excuse to write a bad story or shallow characters :3.

Lastly..... this: “ So where do they sit when they form Voltron? It seems like being in his fist or foot would be a bad time. But they clearly don't share a control room Power Rangers style“ cracks me up more than it should.  Apparently, they all sit in each respective head, but it still sucks to be anything besides the main body/head of Voltron, because every punch, every kick should involve an incredible amount of movement 8DDDD  YOU LUCKED OUT THERE, SHIRO.  Least something doesn’t suck for you :D

AWM 2017 recap

Things I saw at AWM today plus some bonus content I was informed of by other attendees of the event (roughly in chronological order):

Cinderella Girls

- I know next to nothing about this series except that Rin and Uzuki and that Love Laika duo are popular yuri ships lol.

- I already forgot their setlist OTL sorry I’d probably remember if I listened to some of their songs again. I think they performed 5? STAR, GOIN…uh…

- They pretty much spoke Japanese the entire time and were impressed that the audience seemed to be following along well despite that.

- They did a live skit or something? They showed clips from the anime(?) for each character and had them read a script live. Was pretty cute.

- Lit songs of the set list: YES PARTY TIME (is…is that the right title lol I just remember screaming those words a lot), and of course their closing song Onegai Cinderella.

- Okay to be exact all the songs were exciting but those two were particularly lit. iM@S songs have somewhat difficult calls (at least compared to Aqours) but those two songs are pretty easy to follow along with for wotaing even if you’re not at all familiar with the series.

- They performed one song I wasn’t familiar with because it wasn’t on the AWM Day 0 fan-compiled playlist nor the CG callbook _(:3 」∠)_ I believe this was one of their opening songs, so I started off the concert vaguely waving my KB and chanting “HAI HAI HAI HAI Uhhhh I don’t know the calls for this OOOH HAI OOOH HAI”, thanks for carrying the rest of us, Producers 👌

- Okay a friend has told me that song is Yumeiro Harmony? RIP.

Wake Up, Girls!

- 6 songs performed: Tachiagare!, Koi? de Ai? de Boukun Desu!, SHOUJO KOUKYOUKYOKU, Beyond the Bottom, 7 Girls War, Gokujou Smile. I…already forgot the exact order of the songs, but I *think* at least the first two are in the right places. Beyond the Bottom was close to the end iirc.

- I watched a grand total of 3 episodes of the anime plus the first movie so I’m not particularly familiar with the series, but I got attached to Minyami…to no one’s surprise lol, she happens to be the character whose image color is yellow and has a “nya” catchphrase 🙃 I screamed whenever she got a solo part she’s so cute aaah

- Mayushii is such a good singer holy fuck, kinda reminds me of a super-ikemen Emitsun (except ever since I saw a niconama of her crying hysterically over a horror game I can’t take her seriously :3c).

- They were saying things about having the audience smile or something as a lead-in into Gokujou Smile lol

- They tried to speak a bit of English, but it was mostly basic stuff. They were cute. :)

- I broke a UG (Ultra Green, the green version of a UO/Ultra Orange - which y'all might be familiar with from Snow halation) for Tachiagare and I lost my shit because Shukamod couldn’t find her UG, and she ended up breaking like 4-6 UBs (Ultra Blue, for songs like KoiAqua and MIRAI TICKET) unintentionally in her frantic search for one before I took pity on her and gave her my spare lol.

- SHOUJO KKK was motherfucking lit, everyone lost their shit at the hips great choreography and deep voices.

- Lowkey sad that they didn’t perform 16 sai no Agape because it’s the first WUG song I knew (thanks to King’s ANiUTa playlist) but I don’t have any complaints about their performance tbh. They are really, really good dancers and Mayushii’s singing is so damn ikemen I died.

- Everyone else in ONIBE was 🍝 for Yoppi lol.

- 15min intermission afterwards.

Walkure

- Only 2 members performed but it was still lit~

- These two are so talented??? The audience (me included) completely lost their shit at Ikenai Borderline.

- Shukamod probably had a good laugh at me screaming shit like “OH MY GOD JUNNA IS 16 HOW TF IS SHE THIS GOOD WHAT AN IKEBO HOLY SHIT”

- oh yeah, setlist…uhhh…also can’t recall the titles from the top of my head, but Ichi Do Dake no Koi Nara was one I remember. Really good song holy mother of god.

- Friends have reminded me that there was 5, and the first song was Koi Halation, other was Bokura no Senjou, and also supplied the title of the last song (I know the calls but not the title lol).

- In the MC, JUNNA and Minori talked about how they were really impressed by the American burgers. They wanted recommendations for more delicious burgers and several people in the audience had to start a chant to help them remember. They started to say McDonald’s and everyone screamed in horror until they eventually caught on that people were chanting “In N Out” lmao.

- They spoke so much Engrish bless these kids

- For the MC before the last song (Run ga Pikatta Hikattara), Minori was trying to teach the audience the call for it and was pleasantly surprised when the audience automatically did the call once she started singing a specific part of the song without her having to spell it out for us. What do you take us for, casuals? >:|

- All the solo parts were done by Minori…dunno if that’s normal but that’s what I noticed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aqours

- These are somewhat arbitrary numbers but it seemed like that the audience was made of like 25% CG fans, 10% WUG fans, 5% Walkure fans, and then the rest were there for Aqours. Possibly even more for Aqours, since I saw an insane number of people wearing the caps from the You birthday set lol. I even spotted someone cosplaying Ruby from the recent Time Travel set on SIF, holy shit how did they assemble that costume for AX so quickly… Anyways, of course the entire theater went wild when Aqours was finally up to perform.

- Like for their Christmas minilive and 1st Live, the members entered 1 by 1 through a splash screen introducing their character by default member order (i.e. Chika-Riko-Kanan-Dia-You-etc).

- To no one’s surprise, they started with Aozora Jumping Heart. @saitou-shuka and I were pretty much screaming our hearts out from the start. Shukamod broke a mega UO during Shukashuu’s intro lmao.

- They were wearing their MIRAI TICKET outfits and their set list basically turned out to be almost identical to their ANiUPa setlist.

- MC (member introductions using their standard character speeches e.g. Kanan going “I guess my appeal point is my muscles?”) after Aozora. They went down the line in the order Aikyan-Furirin-King-Rikyako-Anchan-Shukashuu-Suwawa-Arisha-Ainya.

- They didn’t do their call and responses (T_T) and I noticed that right away when Aikyan went into her introduction, so after she finished speaking I screamed “OHAYOSHIKO” and a few people copied me, I think? Me and Shukamod ended up shouting the call & responses before or after each introduction lol.

- Aikyan mentioned that this was her first time in America with Aqours, and when King did her introduction she sounded so smug going “This is my second time zura~~~”

- Rikyako mentioned that this was actually the first overseas performance for Aqours (which I already knew but it’s still cool to be reminded again) and everyone was hyped.

- Screamed a lot during Shuka’s intro RIP my voice.

- Suwawa started her self-intro and forgot what her lines were partway through so we had a good laugh when she went “Eh, nandake?” all of a sudden lol.

- People were cheering loudly for Arisha partway through her introduction, so she shushed everyone and then went “suki” and everyone lost their shit again.

- Ainya is so tiny omg what a shiny smol girl

- I made the resolution to be the American version of that one guy who always screams “AAAAaIiiNYAAAaaaAAa” at Aqours lives, and according to Shukamod I did a pretty good replication of it :3c

- Rikyako and Suwawa were in charge of the English language MC and their English has gotten really, really good holy crap. Only complaint I would have was the line “Let’s enjoy with us!” (should be something like “Let’s have fun together” or w/e), but their pronunciation and speed were godly. Both spoke a lot, but Rikyako in particular was really active in repeating stuff said in Japanese into English.

- Ainya was really clingy with Arisha lol I don’t remember which MC it was during but Ainya kept hugging Arisha and stuff lol

- Rikyako then said that the next song would be from their first single and everyone got hyped for KimiKoko.

- SHUKA LEAPFROG IN HER MIRAI TICKET OUTFIT WOOHOO SEEING IT LIVE WAS WILD

- KOIAQUA AFTERWARDS WHOOOOOOO SHUKA’S DANCING WAS SO GOOD!!! Also according to some people in other seats there were some audience members who were doing the “IE TAIGAAAA” calls for this song 🙃 Shukamod and I each broke a handful of UBS for this of course haha

- Another MC/small break afterwards! Furirin did that routine she always does at Aqours lives where she suddenly collapses and asks if she can have a water break lol is this gonna be a regular routine now?

- SHUKA ACCIDENTALLY TOOK ANCHAN’S BOTTLE AND FLAILED AND SAID SOMETHING LIKE “OH NO I DRANK SO MUCH OF CHIKA-CHAN’S WATER”

- MIRAI TICKET was announced as the Ep 13 insert song to be performed next! It was fun breaking out the UOs and UBS for this song too~ The “we say yousoro” part was of course enthusiastically screamed by all the You fans in particular o7

- Surprise song Yume Kataru yori Yume Utaou! They brought out pom poms too! Ainya and Arisha had a really cute hug in this song :D According to others apparently the 1st years were also super clingy and were doing lots of group hugs and stuff

Miscellaneous

- I spotted someone trying to record a part of the concert in the beginning and got really mad and pointed it out to the members of ONIBE I was sitting with. We screamed something like “HEY FUCKER YOU WITH THE CAMERA STOP FUCKING RECORDING” at him after the song, which caused a lot of stares but did achieve the effect of getting him to stop.

- When Aqours finished, Anchan became the MC for the closing speeches at the end.

- Minori had a paper at the closing MC with a speech written in English on it lol. She tweeted a picture of it after the performance, but basically it’s something along the lines of “Thanks everyone, In n Out burgers No. 1!!!” lmao

- JUNNA couldn’t come on stage at the closing MC with all the artists at the end because minors (JUNNA is 16) aren’t allowed to work after 10pm lmao, I had been so confused and concerned until that announcement was made and then I just cracked up.

- I saw Anchan making an adorable pouty face during one of the other groups’ closing speech aaaah so precious.

- Furirin and Shukashuu were doing small “ganbaruby” motions off to the side bless these two :’D

- King kept doing the Ohanamaru pose too lol

- Apparently for the VIP meet & greet after the concert, someone did a “hagu shiyo” with their friend in front of Suwawa, and in response Suwawa did it too with Shukashuu.

- Sosa (Korean Twitter artist famous for their NozoEli video comic of Garasu no Hanazono) was apparently at AWM today…AND RECEIVED A CALLBOOK FROM ONIBE. I MIGHT HAVE WALKED PAST ONE OF THE KOREAN ARTISTS WHO’VE I’VE TRANSLATED FOR. I MIGHT HAVE EVEN HANDED ONE TO THEM. WHAT THE HELL??

[todokori-kun]

Ok:

Luna, you’re the best. You’re smart, you’re talented, you’re dedicated, you’re creative and caring, a wonderful listener, so much fun to debate with, and the best friend anyone could ever ask for. I’m so grateful for everything you’ve helped me with ever since we started talking; I respect your resolve. You’re unique and amazing, and I’m so, so sorry this is happening to you.

I won’t go into detail because it’s a complicated story that’s also way too long, but I’ve sort of felt that way before too (thinking it might be better if I just disappeared/wishing I didn’t exist/feeling worthless). It sucks.

I don’t know if this’ll help, but just know that I’m always here to listen if you need it. You can Email me (though I guess that’s probably not an option lol) or just, like, I don’t know, maybe post something on the blog like ‘Evans can we talk’ and I’ll definitely see it and respond because I stalk this place 24/7 (Evans is a creep please don’t encourage her). I’ve also been considering finally getting a tumblr so maybe we’ll be able to PM each other sometime.

There’s absolutely nothing to apologize for. It’s really brave to talk about stuff like this (I never can). And if there’s any way I can help, please, let me know.

  (Also, funny story (it’s actually gross and is basically just Evans whining about stuff):

I know from experience that stomach-related sicknesses suck. When I first started taking swimming lessons I was an idiot with zero stamina who could barely swim halfway across the pool without coming up for air, so needless to say, I ended up gulping a ton of water (especially since my teacher didn’t go easy on me; mom told her not to because I’m a sloth and I usually won’t do any exercise on my own besides simple stretches and some walking/running). I mean, the water in swimming pools is usually a bit disgusting, and it’s even worse where I take lessons because it’s a pretty old place and I don’t think it gets cleaned that often… so not only did accidentally swallowing it trigger my clean-freak senses, I also ended up with a terrible stomachache. I thought it was fine, that it would pass. But then I got a fever and every other thing I ate made me feel like someone was twisting my intestines from the inside, I couldn’t even lie down and rest for a sec because whenever I moved or tried to change positions it got even worse ;p; (also my mom never let it go, she kept jokingly 'reminding’ me that water from a swimming pool is not something you should drink after I started swimming again. I guess I kinda deserved it, though. I was an idiot))

That sounds so lovely <3 I’d really love to go visit Norway myself sometime, though I’ll probably have to wait a few years (my mom has back problems that make it painful for her to stay in one position for too long, so long plane/car rides are a huge no). And oooh if you have any good pictures I’d love to see them :D

Thanks, I’m glad I managed to explain my shipping reasons (like it’s so hard to properly talk about why I ship stuff sometimes XD)! I would give anything to have you join me in Stoki hell so let me just recommend basically the entire Remember This Cold series (it’s angsty as heck so proceed with caution…there are bits of humor and fluff in there, though, and then some extremely rare (almost) pure fluff fics. Like the one where Steve wants to propose but is a nervous bean because Loki’s a PRINCE and he wants to make it perfect). I’ll also try to find some more good fics later becase I can’t remember any titles right now ^^;;

YES ANOTHER T'CHALLA FAN I adore this guy (also I feel like he has a really cool voice. Not really sure why, it just sounds so nice). I really respect him for his attitude towards Steve and Bucky after he figures out Bucky’s not the real murderer, and how he later stops letting his anger towards his father’s killer consume him.

We’ll fangirl over the Black Panther movie together when it comes out, won’t we *schwing*

(right after I wrote 'schwing’ I got this mental image of Hisoka having his glowing, expolsive schwing moments after seeing T'Challa. And then Hisoka schwinging in theater while watching MCU movie fight scenes. Why am I like this)

I can draw, but I don’t know how to animate so these memes will never be a thing ;-; it’s so sad, I’ve got everything planned out…everytime eyes are mentioned the screen zooms in on Illumi’s eyes (yes even when Illumi’s not in the song because he’s a Zoldyck assassin, you can’t keep him out) and the word 'eyes’ gets the weird treatment where all these high/low/metallic(?) voices get layered so it sounds like the creepiest thing ever

('History has its eyes on you but it’s actually Illumi’ is both the animatic I want to see the most and the animatic I hope will never be created)

Fun HxH facts I want to let you know about:

Kite (AKA Ging’s student and Gon’s big brother figure) is dead and has been brainwashed into being a weapon/punching bag for his captors. When sunshine angel Gon meets the new Kite he lets Kite beat him up and then hugs him, promising to save him (THE FEEEEEEELSS)

Forgot to mention this about Chrollo, but when Kurapika killed one of his troupe (a guy named Uvogin), Chrollo acted all cool and never really talked about Uvo…

but then he had the rest of the troupe murder 2000 mafiosi guarding a building they were trying to get into, and while watching the chaos from afar, listening to their enemy’s screams, he started waving his hands as if conducting an orchestra…

“Uvogin-san. Can you hear it? This requiem we’re dedicating to you.”

(jeez Chrollo we know you’re extra but you can’t just murder 2000 people and play a funeral march with their cries of horror every time you lose a subordinate)

Lastly: There’s a new character named Knuckle who’s like the HxH version of Metal Bat. He is the sweetest cinnamon roll. I love him. I’ll send you a pic later

So um did you hear the news about Hinami

(Queen Luna cosplaying Maka(? or any of the other three MCs)…omg that sounds so awesome)

*facepalm* ok WHOOPS I actually read about that on the SE wiki a while ago. How did I forget about it

Yep! It was so good <33 (Lizzy looks so graceful and pretty I can’t even) I actually found the whole movie on YT but just watched the parts I was really looking forward to seeing animated, like UT’s fight scene, Seb getting stabbed, the rest of the Midford family…(Francis’ hair shocked me. Idk how to feel about it. At first I thought it made her look like an old lady, but then, the more I look at it, the prettier it gets…like, it’s actually a really nice design, but I guess I got too used to manga!Francis lol)

Light is the trash GOD.

(hope you get to read the light novel! As far as I know it’s got a TON of L and Naomi in it so it might make you feel better :D)

Oh yeah, I get what you mean. Light’s reasoning/views on the justice system probably connects a lot to the culture and social issues of Japan at the time.

DN’s probably still one of the easier-to-adapt mangas out there, though, since the themes of justice and questioning the idea of 'greater good’ is something anyone can relate to (and they still botched it, I’m very salty about this and you can’t stop me ;-; even with how terrible Ryuk and Rem looked in them, the Japanese movies were WAY better, and it’s actually pretty rare that Japan makes a good live-action movie from a manga or anime. Apparently the TG movie that came out this year was pretty good too, though :D).

(I apparently somehow accidentally erased the part where I mentioned I actually read HCs/theories about Japanese-American Light on tumblr somewhere….that’s what got me thinking about it.

I agree though, seeing how different cultures would change Light’s character would be very interesting.)

The lack of potato chips doomed the entire Keikaku from the start.

I can see you being similar to Pearl too! I think I’m maybe a bit like Lapis…or possibly Connie. Or maybe Blue Diamond because I also cry way too much (but then again BD actually has a reason to be miserable so)

Those are both cool gems<3 and yeah, they’re both really pretty :D

I was talking about gem 'roles’ back on Homeworld, though ^^;; like, how Pearls are considered servants or pretty accessories, Diamonds are leaders, fusions like Garnet are outcasts, Rubies are 'dumb muscle’, Sapphires are valuable prophets, Peridots are tech experts, Jaspers are soldiers…sorry, I should’ve been more specific OTL

I’d probably be a Pearl lol. I could see myself being a Peridot and being scared to death without a Quartz soldier to guard me but I’m not good with any kind of technology so nah.

And sorry for asking weird questions, I forgot it’s been a while since you watched the show ^^;;

Hey, don’t feel bad about slow replies! Like I said before, I seriously don’t mind as long as you’re ok :D and I’m so glad I’ve managed to help.

('a friend I appreciate’ *ugly sobbing* thank you)

Did someone say suffering?

*'Remember That We Suffered’ plays in the background*

DID THE QUEEN JUST SAY 'Goals’ ABOUT SOMETHING I MADE OMG I’M FREAKING OUT TYSM

Ayyy I’m so glad you liked them! (The Hide pic was painted with the intent to kill)

(last thing:

I’m sorry, this is probably really creepy, but I ended up telling my mom about you because she asked who I was talking to (she knows I have internet friends and has seen me writing messages before). Since I’m only 13 she worries about the people I talk (she knows all my friends on ao3) so I told her some small things like your age, that you’re from Croatia, that you play the piano too and that you mentioned having a sister.

I’m really, really sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, mom just worries a lot and she likes to hear about my friends (like, she worries for my safety on the internet so she has to ask me some basic things about the people I talk with, and when she knows I have a good friend on the internet she sometimes wants to hear if my relationship with them is ok). I’d never tell her something really private but sometimes she wants to talk and I know she worries for me so I do tell her small, random details from our convos.

if you’re uncomfortable with that, though, I’ll stop. Again, I’m so sorry about this.)

And after two weeks of silence, the species finally shows some signs of life.  ;-;

I’m totally not crying.  I’ve said this so many times and you’re probably getting annoyed, but I have no idea what I did to deserve you in my life.  You’re actually the only person I’d told about my current mental state at that time, and I’m so glad you didn’t freak out or just write it away as me overreacting (like my mom did), and it means so so so much to me. Truly, thank you for being here for me. (And not giving up on me, considering how long my replies take ;-;)

I’m here for you as well, though, so if you’re ever feeling down, you can message me ^^ 

Oh, it’d be cool if you’d get a tumblr! I can guarantee my replies would be faster then, since the messages would show up in my notifications...

Also, to brighten things up a little, this is how I picture you at the beginning of the message:

Oh  god that sounds disgusting XD And perfectly describes why I don’t wanna do swimming as a sport. Are you still swimming? It’d be cool if you were, cause it’s a really beautiful sport imo. 

That’s unfortunate... Hopefully you’ll be able to visit it someday ^^

Tbh considering the shit I unironically ship sometimes, no ship is weird enough to be unexplainable. Name a single reason why you ship it, and it’s valid in my eyes. Heck, it can be ‘they look good together’ and I’ll say ‘makes sense’. Y’know why? Because I’m one of those ppl who will ship it if they so much as look at each other.

ok fun fact: I’ve loved T’Challa since I was like 8, because every summer, there would be a weekly publication of superhero comics, and Black Panther was almost always there, and I was a nerd even then, so I’d always buy them. Other than Spiderman, Black Panther was my favourite superhero. 

Lololol I need the HxH Cast watching MCU movies. Oh yeah, I found this a while ago and immediately thought of you:

Amazing... If you ever learn to animate, please send me a link, because I will pay money to see that. Just. I’m not even into HxH, but I’d give up a lot to see the crossover XD

Ouch, that seems like a lot of feels... Seriously I have no idea where you get the mental strength to read to many angsty moments...

um, yeah... i have actually... but um, she’s alive, right?

Turns out I gave my skirt I’d used to charity, so until i find a replacement, I can’t take any pics... well, at least i can grow my hair out to Maka’s length till that happens XD

I adore the movie, seriously, the animators did such an amazing job with it, especially the most important scenes. BUT HECK; WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT WHAT OUR CIEL’S NAME IS?? It’s been hinted that it’s quite unusual, BUT THAT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER HNNNGH

Oh yeah, I’m gonna find that novel even if it kills me, because I need the L. 

lol I still haven’t forgiven the movie adaptation of Avatar the Last Airbender. It was so bad that most people (including me are denying its existence). I might watch Death Note some time soon, so I can judge it for myself tbh... 

Of course, the chips were a vital part of the Keikaku... No wonder it didn’t succeed...

No worries! It’s not your fault! Tbh, i dont think id even reached that part when I was watching it, so it’s interesting to hear all the roles...  Aw, you’d be an adorable Peridot ^^

Tbh ‘friend that I appreciate’ doesn’t even begin to describe how precious you are to me. You’re the first online friend I made and the first person I told about my mental state, so honestly, you’re one of the people I feel closest to...

Nah, I don’t find it creepy at all!! Seriously, I sometimes tell my parents about people I talk to, so I’ve mentioned well ^^ It’s your choice what/who you’ll talk about ^^
