just been swamped with stuff irl + whenever I get a free day, i end up sleeping through half of it lmao, but anyway, chapter 7 FQTP is proceeding as planned

i've been thinking what I wanted to post about and decided on Deidara's kinjutsu because why not

i've seen some certain misconceptions about it, so let's do something of a master post regarding it, Deidara and Deidara's abilities that aren't actually connected with the kinjustu

before diving deeper - kinjutsu translates to forbidden jutsu, and is not to be mistaken with kenjutsu - which is everything connected with shinobi doing stuff with swords. to put it simply, Kisame is a master in kenjutsu and he is in no capacity involved with kinjutsus (as I far as remember canon stating lol). and kinjutsus are pretty widely spread throughout Naruto world, it's not just Deidara utilizing it for his art, Edo Tensei is also a kinjutsu, Shadow Clones are also classified as a kinjutsu (don't mind how much Naruto spams it lol), and so on and so forth. Kinjutsu is a classification category and is arbitrarily assigned to certain jutsus that pose too much of a threat. And said threat is not just about people around the user of a kinjutsu, it is also a threat posed to the user of the jutsu (again, Shadow Clones is not forbidden because infinitely more people can be killed using it, no, this is actually a perk of the jutsu, it's dangerous because it's incredibly chakra taxing, so if someone with low chakra reserves tries to do it - bam - they are dead). As we can see from Deidara's life, his kinjutsu is dangerous because it poses a threat to him and to other ls around him.

now, I guess it would be fairer to say this is Iwagakure's kinjutsu - it doesn't have its own name, so that should give you an idea about how much info there is about it (and how much Kishi worries about Iwa lore in general). but back to the matter, here's exactly what it does: it allows the user to mix their chakra with physical substances via the special mouths appearing on the body of the user.

exhibit one as an example. I know a lot of people don't read the manga and only know Naruto through anime, so yes, this is indeed an actual page from the manga (in fact, it is the cover of chapter 362, the very same one where Deidara dies. i gotta respect Kishimoto for creating a character that creates a plethora of questions regarding whether or not he... "plays" with himself with his mouths and answering with a resounding YES literally as he dies in the plot. also of course there's gonna be toes, name a more iconic duo than Kishimoto and his foot fetish).

but back to the definition above: it actually helps to clear certain misconceptions that I've seen people have regarding how Deidara's "artistic process" goes. first and obvious - kinjutsu is not responsible for the matter mixed with chakra exploding.

this is never mentioned in the canon and is something from the databooks, but there is this thing called Bakuton which is a kekkei genkai that allows the owner of it to give their chakra explosive properties. Deidara happens to have this kekkei genkai and this is what responsible for Deidara's explosions. canon only mentions two people possesing this kekkei genkai - one being obviously Deidara and another being Gari, an Iwa guy ressurected during Shinobi World War 4 - so not much is known about it, whether it is spread beyond Iwa, whether it can be created manually by mixing basic chakra natures or, as it happens a lot in Naruto world, this is something genetic, meaning that Gari and Deidara are somehow connected by blood, we don't know any of that, just that Bakuton exists.

another important thing stated by the definition - kinjutsu is not responsible for the form that the resulting mixture of chakra and physical matter. Deidara is explicitly stated to be a genius sculptor, and he was already famous for his abilities when it came to working with clay in the village prior to him becoming a nukenin and a terrorist (again, directly stated in the databooks). kinjutsu doesn't make all those different birds, mouths don't automatically produce owls and micro-Deidaras, Deidara does. This is a separate skill that he has and has been seemingly developing from a very young age (I made a whole separate rant about Deidara's career, but basically Deidara would have been like 12 when Akatsuki came to recruit him, so the entire "genius of Iwagakure" thing would have taken place like when he literally was in single digits)

now onto, I think, one of the biggest misconceptions I've seen about Deidara when it comes to fanfictions, at least, because on numerous occasions I've seen people write about Deidara being mistreated and abused by people of Iwagakure for being born with these disfigurements in form of too many mouths. and while I am a sucker for a tragic childhood backstory, this directly contradicts what has officially been stated (and the fact that what little is known about Deidara's life in Iwagakure is already concerning as fuck). again, Deidara was born an absolutely normal kid when it comes to the number of mouths on his person, and while living in Iwa it continued to stay so until he decided to steal the kinjutsu which would allow him to combine his sculpturing skills and his kekkei genkai. one boy four mouths DOES NOT happen until after he leaves Iwagakure (as stated by databooks).

now a little bit of a side rant, but I think judging from the info available, there are certain reasonable speculations that can be made about Iwagakure's kinjutsu. it's pretty obvious that it was developed by Iwagakure - as we never see anyone else in the world besides Deidara running around with twenty mouths on their body - but was banned for some reason. think about it, giving your shinobi an ability to shove their chakra into physical objects and literally allowing them to yeet that shit in the enemies' faces? hell yeah, give us some of that. and i believe the issue lies within the jutsu itself and it's something that can not be physically removed from the user. what I am alluding to is that one gigantic mouth on Deidara's chest.

because there is no clear explanation as to how exactly the jutsu works (besides a vague statement that Deidara "used it on himself"/"sealed it within himself"), I'm gonna go ahead and say that I think that this gigantic mouth on the chest IS the sealed kinjutsu, meaning if one wants to get it, they must end up with this toothy thing too. the smaller mouths on palms is simply the result of activating an already sealed kinjutsu and spreading it to certain area the user wishes to have it in (in Deidara's case, his palms). now, why I believe that? because, if you remember at the end of Kazekage capture arc, Deidara loses both arms, however by the time of him and Tobi face Isobu he already has them back, which raises a pretty big fucking question: how the hell Deidara has mouths on both of hands? again, remember the circumstances in which Deidara became two arms short: his left one was fully crushed by Gaara, while his right elbow ended up being caught in Kakashi's Kamui, so his right upper arm and right hand got separated from each other. the mouth on the right arm is easy to explain - his original hand remained, so by the time of Isobu capture Deidara has his own right upper arm -> Kakuzu's stitches -> whatever the hell the used as a replacement of Deidara's elbow -> more stitches -> Deidara's original right hand with the mouth. but Deidara's left arm would look like Deidara's upper arm -> Kakuzu's stitches -> a replacement for Deidara's elbow and everything below it. and what a fucking replacement that is, because not only it a) perfectly fits with Deidara's complexity (and I mean his proportions, his new left arm doesn't look weird or causes him any comfort) b) whoever they took it from happened to have the same blood type as Deidara, and most importantly c) has a FUCKING mouth on the palm (which is not commonplace in the shinobi world, as we know). and the third requirement being fulfilled either makes Kakuzu the single most resourceful motherfucker in the entire shinobi world (because he'd quickly found a mouthy arm) or Akatsuki leadership for some reason dropped everything and started looking everywhere for someone who would have a left arm with a mouth on it, blood type AB and has the same complexity as 166 cm 50 something kg Deidara (which is surprsingly caring of said leadership considering they ditched Sasori's corpse instantly + Deidara is not that important in the grand scheme of things for both Nagato's and Obito's plan). so, as you can see, a lot of questions arise if we assume hand mouths to be some sort of intristic feature of Iwagakure's kinjutsu, however, if we presume that the kinjutsu is just the mouth on the chest, then Deidara could simply grow it on the new limb attatched to him after his chakra system connected with the new arm (and, considering that Kakuzu's own thingies work on the chakra system, this isn't that wild of an assumption to make).

okay, yapping session is somewhat over, I've established what I believe is the way Iwa's kinjutsu works. back to the reason why it is a forbidden jutsu: the user ends up with a mouth on their chest that poses an EXTREME danger to everyone including the user, and this is what Deidara himself named C0

let's talk a bit about the differences between the way Deidara's mouths are shown to operate, because he is the only indication that we have regarding how it works, what it does and why did Iwa ban it.

here's a side by side comparison to see what I mean. obviously, the size difference is quite considerable, but this might be explained by the fact that hand mouths don't have as much space as the chest one, but one thing can certainly be established: the chest mouth is much stronger and, I'll say, violent compared to its smaller siblings - the one and only time we see it, it opens up in such a way that makes me worry a lot about Deidara's spine and ribs + Deidara himself doesn't look really comfortable in the moment (however later as the activation of C0 starts he begins cackling in Sasuke's face, suggesting that the chest mouth opening must have been pretty uncomfortable for him, a guy who shrugged off two severed arms). another difference can be seen in the shape of the teeth on his chest and his palms: the handmouths look pretty tame and have human looking teeth, while the chest one... well, you certainly wouldn't want to have your hand bitten by that. but the most obvious and concerning difference between the two is how the hand mouths are just there, while Deidara has a seal AND an actual wire sewn into his chest mouth just to keep it shut, which makes it obvious that...

Deidara has no control over the chest mouth, unlike the hand ones.

Which is the first red flag to Iwa as people who developed and researched this thing. However, user not being able to control the jutsu is half of the problem, the REAL issue comes when you realize WHAT this mouth does. We see plenty of times how hand mouths operate: Deidara takes his clay, puts it in the mouths, the mouths inject it with a certain concentration of chakra (and I'm pretty sure that C1/C2/C3/C4 thing refers to the concentration of chakra within Deidara's creations, not their form, so C2 dragon doesn't have to look like a giant dragon, but it's cooler this way innit) and then Deidara shapes the clay into whatever form he needs before sending his creation to go kaboom.

However, this is not what happens with the chest mouth

Clearly, for its activation Deidara still has to feed it something, but then things get completely and utterly messed up in that regard that this mouth, seemingly, has no defined limit to the concentration of chakra it will inject into whatever ends up within it.

The first page immediately follows the panel above, so we can see that the mouths starts to suck up energy of the user immediately. And I say energy specifically, because it's not just chakra - which is the spiritual energy - but life energy as well. This is harder to see in the manga, but is kind of confirmed by how little shape Deidara has as C0 is getting closer to completion and is directly confirmed by the anime (and I don't like referring to anime as source for anything, but alas) that Deidara's body starts to lose color and almost dissolve? within seconds after he feeds the clay to the chest mouth. Oh, and those black lines being sucked up towards Deidara's heart area? Likely his chakra system being consumed too😊that mouth literally sucks in anything that has even the tiniest drop of energy in the user before concentrating it all in whatever ended up within that mouth. obviously, eventually such concentration becomes impossible to contain, so it all simply bursts out. in Deidara's case the entire situation only gets worse because, once again, he's got Bakuton, so not only this shit ton of energy is contained within a relatively tiny space, but this energy also happens to be highly explosive, so shit goes kaboom and I mean KABOOM - Viz's translation claims that 10 kilometers is just the radius of the resulting explosion, but I call bullshit on that and believe that this is a translator not comprehending the difference between radius and diameter (diameter is 2 * radius, so if we go off Viz's translation, then the total size of the territory that Deidara deleted with his death would be 20 kilometers from one side to the other) and American tendency to not quite understand what the fuck is a kilometer🦅🦅🦅🦅(to put into perspective, the baseline urban area speed limit in Europe is around 50 to 60 km/h, so it would take about 20 minutes to cross a distance of 20 kilometers which is the supposed size of the crater that Deidara left behind).

okay, let's sum up what is known about Iwagakure's kinjutsu: if it is sealed within someone, the user ends up with a giant toothy mouth right near their heart (and the center of chakra system, obviously). Said mouth can not be controlled, so the only option is to literally slap another seal right on top of it + sew it shut. If something ends up within this mouth, it instantly starts to literally consume the user, and judging by the speed of the process, it can not be reversed. Finally, after a dozen of seconds, the concentration of energy reaches a critical point, and it all bursts out, wiping out everything in its vicinity.

Should it even be stated why Iwagakure would classify this thing as a kinjutsu?

Anyway, there is another thing that I find absolutely fascinating: Deidara knows the exact size of the explosion that will happen after C0 is completed. Now why is that? Deidara, obviously, couldn't learn that from simply experimenting on himself (C0 is a one time thing, after all). We are never told that he's got some sort of PhD in kinjutsu and chakra concentration calculation (which would be really fucking funny if he would just sit down after the missions, get his reading glasses and start calculating how much shit he could destroy given this or that level of chakra within himself + what is the rate at which his life energy can be converted into explosion energy. i can just imagine that looks that Sasori and Obito would give him respectively). So another logical conclusion that we can come to is - Iwagakure actually tested this kinjutsu on people, saw what it did, recorded their findings and banned it all from being used because no one wants the village to fly up directly into the Pure Lands. It's not conclusive if one of the subjects had Bakuton to give the exact size of the resulting implosion (because again, 10 fucking kilometers is a lot and whoever is doing the tests would probably be killed too) or Deidara has some sort of general idea how his kekkei genkai would affect the results of the chest mouth doing its thing.

And the fact of human experimentation commited by Iwa is kind of confirmed by the circumstances in which Deidara has abandoned the village - Deidara stole the kinjutsu, used it on himself and proceeded to kill the squad that Iwa sent after him for stealing the jutsu, developing his philosophy of art of a single moment (again, this all happened when the kid was like 11. like, dude, chill for 5 seconds, Naruto was still sitting his ass on that swing at the same age, do you really need to speedrun your life that fast). Again, Deidara stole the kinjutsu to further his abilities, meaning he KNEW beforehand what it does and how it's supposed to work (he was also aware of what that chest mouth does and. Iwagakure? Why is your 11 year old this happy and ready to put himself under the danger of killing himself in a very horrifying way??). And him knowning what kinjutsu is all about means that there must have certainly been some records regarding the experiments with it😊

(and if you're wondering how Deidara could have gained access to a literally banned justu, remember, before becoming a nukenin he already was a member of Bakuha Butai which seems to be a special squad in Iwagakure hierarchy focused exclusively on explosions + Deidara was Onoki's student, so everything suggest that he was a high-ranking officer and would have access to the secret info such as the forbidden jutsus of the village. yes, all of that took place even before he hit puberty. it's the same story as Itachi's and Kakashi's, where old men look at a kid, decide to promote them to a very high position and then everyone makes a pikachu face when things start to go terribly wrong)

anyway, i think that's pretty much it for what I wanted to say about Deidara's kinjutsu and its body and not-body horror? thanks for coming to my Tobitalk

p.s. a personal headcanon of mine is that similarly how Tobirama developed all of these kinjutsus for Konoha, Mu the Second Tsuchikage is the one who developed and tested kinjutsu that Deidara would proceed to steal + Mu himself has got, like, a dozen of mouths beneath all of those bandages, cuz why the fuck not + he seems freaky like that lol

feligami and chlolila!!!!!

Great choices, Noctie. You know me well.

Chlolila ✅

1. What made you ship it?

Let’s be honest. This is not a ship you get into because it’s cute, or because you hope for a happy ending. And I’m not exactly known for my appreciation of Toxic Yet Fascinating Dynamics ™.

THAT BEING SAID — they are a great plot device. Just like I don’t enjoy whatever Gabeminath had going on, but recognise how it pushed the story forward. So I am likely to write Chlolila in the future (When? Who fucking knows. Certainly not me), as part of a bigger project, purely because the narrative potential is through the roof.

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

See above! ☝️

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Despite everything I stated above — I can totally see how they could have been written as an evil, yet healthy duo. More on that here.

Now that this is done. Let’s move on to serious business, shall we.

Feligami ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅✅

1. What made you ship it?

This iconic exchange from the Diamonds’ Dance, which I stumbled upon with exactly zero (0) context a little over a year ago.

Listen. I was so prepared to be annoyed. I, too, was an aro Felix truther. I, like many others, was a Marigami enjoyer before anything else.

ALL OF THAT GOT THROWN OUT THE WINDOW SO FAST WHEN I SAW THESE 20 SECONDS OF INTERACTION.

Everything is there already!!! The instant recognition of someone who has been messed up by life in the same way you were (child abuse, queerness, neurodivergence, you know the drill)! The challenging of each other’s worldview! The softness of her hand in his! Disobedience as an act of devotion!

And upon watching the episode — is there anything more beautiful than this evil genius/desperate kid abandoning the masterplan he dedicated his entire life to, the scheme he threw away all moral considerations for, just to make this pretty and deeply hurt girl he just met happy?

2. What are your favorite things about the ship?

Every. Single. Aspect.

What can I say that I haven’t said before.

They are incredible representation (AH!!!!! See what I did there?) for basically every marginalised group ever.

They are incredibly soft, even though they were created to be perfectly emotionless (Kagami) or perversely cruel (Felix). Not only is their relationship forbidden, their capacity to love itself is an infraction to the blueprints crafted by their parents.

The ease with which they switch moral alignments for each other, which is majorly overlooked on Kagami’s part. More on that in another post on another day.

Felix willingly following her guidance in Representation is the ultimate proof that he has achieved freedom; devotion is meaningless if it is not freely given.

THEY HOLD HANDS SO MUCH. WHEN THEIR AMOKS ARE FUCKING RINGS. IF THAT ISN’T THE ULTIMATE SHOW OF VULNERABILITY AND TRUST I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS.

And much more. I am slightly drunk right now, so I’m probably forgetting a lot.

3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Shipping Feligami is controversial in itself, somehow. Let me tell you, many people out there have weird grudges against 14-year-old characters, and absolutely zero reading comprehension. DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS ON BUGGACHAT’S LATEST CHAPTER, Sunny. You would be shocked by how many advocate for violence against our boy.

Other than that, as you said yourself — childfree Feligami for the win. There is no way these queer (!) abuse survivors (!!) who defy any and all societal norms (!!!) would have kids. I rest my case.

Thank you for the ask, Sunny! 🖤☀️

Ask game here.

#miraculous ladybug #felix graham de vanily #kagami tsurugi #feligami #chloé bourgeois #chloe bourgeois #chlolila #ask games #tumblr asks

I’ve always felt Blake and Ryan were a dynamic duo of attention on them.

To be fair to them both, Ryan is an amazing marketing genius and business man. And Blake knows how to capitalize on what’s been given to her and I have to say she’s one of the most successful former It girl turned permanent A lister by association (marriage to Ryan). Her met Gala appearances are iconic and she and Ryan are one of the most beloved HW couples.

But I just feel like if we’re going to be fair, they have PR written all over them and any opportunity for more press and publicity, they’re on it.

I wouldn’t call them private at all. And I feel like they love using each other and together for attention. I think they both have ego issues but that’s just what I’m getting from this ends with us drama.

It kind of annoys me a lot and that’s why I’ve never been huge fans of either of them.

PS. Unrelated, but I think a certain someone thought they would end up being Blake 2.0 because of who they married. But they forgot Blake has charisma, charm, beauty, and talent on her own. 🤭 She can sell on her own and she’s been doing it for a minute before she married her husband. She just leveled up.

I’m not going to begrudge celebrities or celebrity couples for using PR. They’re not the only ones doing it. But I do see what you mean. They’re always over the top. They need the attention. I love Ryan, but I also feel his very one toned. From Two Guys, A Girl, and A Pizza Place to Deadpool, they’re all the same characters. And that’s just Ryan himself.

Boring people can never be It girls. And Blair was better than Serena. And Leighton was better than Blake in my opinion. Leighton carried Gossip Girl on her shoulders. I never understood the hype around Blake.

PSYCHIC DAMAGE LMFAOOOP omg…now I’m shaking just thinking of the wc HAHAHA I’ll start mentally preparing…

OK DID YOU READ THE CH???? ANOTHER MANIFESTATION OFF THE LIST?? I’m strike throughing this to make it harder to read at first glance in case you haven’t read yet We literally said tabieita best duo because they’re mature enough and confident enough alone which allows them to duo without dependence THAT WAS LITERALLY LIKE HALF THE CH????

Yuki third wheel friend…yuki the “walk behind the duo on the sidewalk” third friend….tbh I think the person I’ve seen him with the most is actually Isagi??? From his little tantrum/rivalry moment….no ykw you’re so right we claim yuki!!

LMAOOOOOOO I’m crying this is so true to their dynamic and I love it sm….barou nagi honestly another iconic duo I can imagine Barou being like “you better stand six feet away from my ball at all times”…

STOP WAIT THATS GENIUS Barou one of the girls HAHAHA that’s so real though!! It kinda reminds me about how Kunigami was canonically like that before bllk because he hung around his sisters a lot!! IM GONNA SHIT MYSELF LAUGHING “y/n l/n is a lovely girl who can really keep a house clean. any man would be lucky to have her” GOODBYE the duo wingman plus imposter wingman dynamic im so living for this….

OOOH NICE!! Except for the knocked out part LOL I feel like I’ve heard that they have that effect…but fr!!! I have no idea how it’d work exactly but you could also maybe consider taking a smaller dosage to see if it’s enough to keep the nausea under control without glueing your eyes shut….that’s sometimes what I do with allergy meds LOL

PARAGLIDING omgggg HAVE FUN!!!! I can def imagine how it’d seem intimidating but I bet you’ll have a lot of fun once you’re in the air!! Just channel your inner crow HAHA THE EMO MOMENT LMAOO BUT DONT LOOK OUT THE WINDOW /hj I feel like seeing the scenery and other cars move from the side perspective makes that dizzy feeling worse…..could be different for you though but that’s what I’ve noticed!

REAL lowk I wonder if it’s maybe more of a he doesn’t actually know what loneliness is because he’s been left alone all his life kind of thing….but anyways…..

-Karasu anon

YOU SHOULD BE SCARED 😈 or alternatively grateful HAHA looking back at that 6-9k word count estimate is cracking me up because this one is making the otoya version look short 😭

I DID READ IT FINALLY AND OMG WHEN NAGI CALLED THEM A MATURE PARTNERSHIP I WAS LIKE ??? why is bro reading the tumblr convos that’s word for word what we said in the past 😟 also wait this is cracking me up…

CANNOT believe we have a canon panel of hollyhock sengoku era otoya now ⁉️ pov bro on his way to chill in y/n’s room instead of actually trying to find and kill reiji hiiragi as he was hired to 🤫

i do think i’ve seen him with isagi the most also because of the mancity match but tbh isagi has so many more relevant duos (rin, bachira, barou, even hiori and nagi) that it feels very very one sided?? i wish yuki and kuni or yuki and reo would become a duo because i think he would work w either of them really well!! technically reo and nagi are already a thing but it could be a way to break them up and let them find new friends and partners that push them more!! and kunigami + chigiri is also a thing but chigiri is so chill w everyone that i could see kuni and yuki being like a secondary duo the way isagi and hiori are

BAROUNAGI MY FAVS IN EVERY WAY!! truly they have the relationship rin and sae could have if they were just a tiny bit more normal abt things/their rivalry (but you didn’t hear that from me 😶‍🌫️) and LMAOO omg wait lowkey if only kunigami wasn’t busy in wildcard he would also be a hilarious prospect for that kind of thing 😭 barou gives me such one of the girls vibes though like i bet he’d let his gf braid his hair and whatnot…the SECOND one of the bllk boys says smth he tweaks heavy but he won’t take them out even if they’re shit because like his girl worked hard on them 🙁 LMAOOO the yuki barou team up would be wild especially when karasu is actively working against them 😰 and nagi is also just there for some reason too??? i think it would be funny if he gets dragged into things as a repeated bystander and eventually he gets super invested because it’s like an episode of a drama for him but irl 😭 so he somehow knows everything going on but refuses to intervene on either side (which pisses barou off) because he exclusively wants the tea and doesn’t really care how things end up 😩 he’ll randomly drop hints to move the plot along when it’s getting boring though but they’re cryptic enough that they end up causing more chaos than anything…like “karasu i heard y/n likes tall dark haired soccer players” “SHE LIKES ARYU???”

unfortunately i was knocked out on just half of a pill 😩 and paragliding was super super cool + not scary at all but i DID throw up into a little plastic baggie like 5 or 6 times and was nauseous/dizzy soooo would not repeat that experience 😓 but honestly i’m still glad i did it because it was so fun besides the vomiting and such a unique experience!! truly felt like a little bird hahaha…apparently nausea and motion sickness are a symptom of my birth control so once i’m back home i’m going to call the doctor and see if they have any tips!! for now we must endure i suppose 😔

truly i don’t think nagi understands human connection or loneliness or anything like that too well so he’s fine living without actual relationships because you can’t miss what you don’t know 🙁💔 but honestly he seems like he would’ve been very loving if he was raised normally?? like despite what everyone thinks he’s pretty loyal to reo and treats choki so nicely that if he had had a proper upbringing he probably would’ve been such a good friend/significant other 😪 that’s just my headcanon though until we get his actual backstory (like his childhood not just right before bllk) and see what things were like…adding this to the manifestation circle because i NEED to see baby nagi!! i bet he was soooo cute (and also i need to know if he escaped the bowl cut allegations 😭 his hair is wavyish so i think he must be safe?? but you never know)

PHEW. Okay. Same GAD + SAD anon back one last time (at least, one last time introducing myself like that, I am too lazy to keep that up forever. I need a more concise way to identify myself.)

Just as I thought, I fell for cringefail darling. She’s just…so me. I want to put her in my pocket and protect her from Chrollo.

I could write a whole essay about Idée Fixe if I had the time, but I won’t let the cringefail in me win like that today.

For now, I’ll just talk about how much I loved how you wrote the darling this time. Your descriptions of anxiety were spot-on—it really put everything I feel during moments of intense anxiety into words. And your way of addressing darling’s aversion to physical intimacy and the irrational anxiety despite knowing (or, well, thinking) she’s safe with him was absolutely perfect. I was able to really see myself in a darling for the first time—sincerely, thank you for writing cringefail darlimg with an amazingly accurate depiction of anxiety without eliminating the fact that she is still a capable human being…despite being the embodiment of cringefail.

And Chrollo…all the signs were there, and obviously I knew how things were going to turn out, but I still found myself wanting to believe that he had nothing but pure intentions. He’s just so…frustratingly genuine, even in his deception. The way you write him evokes this frustration from me every time without fail, in a good way! And then he just turns around and drugs dear cringefail darling to keep her anxiety in-check during what is likely one of the most anxiety-inducing moments of her life (and also probably to keep her from being able to function at 100%, but let me pretend he has nothing but good intentions). He’s such a genius—you’re such a genius—and I hate him so much for it.

I’ll stop myself here to save us both the time it would take to read/write any more of this, but these are only a fraction of my thoughts on the fic. Just know that all the time you put into writing Idée Fixe was well worth it, and just…thank you again for writing a reader I can see myself in so well 💖 Maybe I’m just cringefail anon at this point. Who knows.

we are forming the protect cringefail darling coalition™, one member at a time.

portraying anxiety in this fic felt different compared to other yandere stories, so i was hoping it'd come across decently. in my experience, even if you aren't feeling anxious, you're just Hyper Aware of everything. the slightest change in tone, body language, etc. you're just perpetually going 👁👁. i thought this would be a neat similarity to chrollo, who is also rather perceptive. he can finally get a taste of his own medicine. although, cringefail darling doesn't have malicious intent.

chrollo and deception... name a more iconic duo... he spices it up by sometimes being genuine, but even that is calculated with some sort of end goal in mind. revealing elements of his tragic past is an example of this . the man knew it'd tug majorly on cringefail darling's heartstrings. he kept out the more macabre details, yet included enough of the truth to really earn her sympathy.

him using the beta blockers. whew. he figured it'd be killing two birds with one stone. while he likes messing with cringefail darling some, he doesn't derive any satisfaction from her being in a major anxiety episode. how nice of him. so he gets to avoid that (at least for now) and have her in a better state to receive all the unfortunate information he's been tactfully omitting for months now. it's a win win.

thank you so much for sharing your thoughts!!! aaaaa there really is nothing i value more 💖 i feel the time i put into the fic was worth it too! it's got to be one of my favorite stories i've written so far. 😌

and if that's the moniker you want to go with, i'll start using that 👀👀

Nicky and Pierre IRL Nicky Champa and Pierre "Boo" Amaury Crespeau are the kind of people that probably look at least vaguely familiar if you're at all active on social media these days. On TikTok especially, where they have a combined 26.4 million followers and consistently see their videos go viral, the LA-based duo can seem omnipresent. The pair's content straddles the always-popular line between wholesome and thirsty, though the former more often wins out. Now that they've been together for going on six years — and tied the knot last autumn — they're all-in on the couples' content. For Valentine's Day, PAPER caught up with the influential couple to shoot some photos around their California home and ask a few questions to gauge how well they really know each other.Who takes better selfies?Nicky: Pierre, for sure. He's a master at lighting and angles. He also has bountiful amounts of patience that I do not have.Pierre: Hm, what do you mean? Is there such a thing as a bad selfie?What's his go-to Sunday night rom-com?Nicky: He's obsessed with Titanic. He's also always watching something Disney.Pierre: Nicholas goes for Real Housewives, The Kardashians, Million Dollar Listing or Below Deck on a Sunday night. A guilty little pleasure for him, but I also enjoy watching with him.Which one of you would do better fending off a bear attack?Nicky: I think unfortunately we'd both be laughing and panicking at the same time, and would have no idea what to do and be eaten. I'd probably try and TikTok it, too.Pierre: I believe you can consider us both dead the day this happens. Or maybe Nicholas will have a genius idea that will save the damsel in distress that I usually am in those situations.What's his fantasy sex location?Nicky: Pierre is a romantic, so I would say on a furry comfortable bed in a chateau in the south of France with candles everywhere and piano playing in the background with bottles of Blanc de Blancs champagne and my body smothered in chocolate.Pierre: Shower. 100% the shower. And Paris.What's his favorite couple's activity?Nicky: We love traveling together and exploring, but also staying home and doing absolutely nothing together. For him I'd say it's just to cuddle on the couch and do nothing.Pierre: I'd say his is traveling together. Shopping, going on fancy dates, or imaginary house hunting, too.What would he say is his worst habit?Nicky: It's not really a bad habit — more just funny — but Pierre can tend to forget people's names, and when he tries to remember them, he'll replace their name with a French one. For example, Stephan can become Cristophe.Pierre: To not finish cans of soda, ever. I believe the first few sips is it for him.What's his biggest turn-on?Nicky: In this order: cuddles, saving money, my butt, massages, naps, chocolate, building stuff.Pierre: Don't tell him I said this, but I believe spending money — I don't blame him, though, this is a thing for me, too. I'm sure for many of us. Oh, did you mean sexually? I think ambiance. Who would last longer without checking social media?Nicky: Pierre, for sure. I think it's because I've had it my entire life, so it's just part of my life. I'm always checking it.Pierre: I would say me, just because I grew up without it.Who's his biggest celebrity crush?Nicky: Maybe Leonardo DiCaprio? He also loves Celine Dion. But she's a bit of a cougar.Pierre: He mentioned to me that his sexual awakening was due to watching Bradley Cooper in American Sniper. And now I believe it would be either Lana Del Rey or Harry Styles.Who would he say is the most iconic celeb couple of all time?Nicky: Before Brad and Angelina, but now I would say he's aiming for Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Ever since the "Apeshit" Louvre scene he's been turned on to them.Pierre: I would say he loves Brangelina, but we also like to talk about how fun it is that Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone often work together.Photography: Jennifer RoveroStyling: Cody Allen https://www.papermag.com/nicky-champa-pierre-boo-2659410125.html

Remembering John Cassaday: The Visionary

In the world of comic book artistry, few names carry as much weight as John Cassaday. The man was a legend—a true visionary who brought some of Marvel Comics’ most iconic stories to life with his stunning artwork. His passing at the age of 52 has left a massive void in the industry, but his impact on the comic book world will continue to inspire future generations of artists and readers alike. Known for his sleek, cinematic style, Cassaday didn’t just draw comics; he crafted immersive visual experiences that stuck with you long after you turned the last page. The Legacy of a Comic Genius John Cassaday’s body of work speaks for itself. He was the creative force behind some of Marvel Comics’ most celebrated titles, including Astonishing X-Men and Captain America. His art didn’t just complement the story—it elevated it. Whether it was Wolverine slicing through Sentinels or Cyclops standing tall as a leader, Cassaday’s ability to capture raw emotion in his characters made him a standout talent. And let’s not forget Planetary, the mind-bending sci-fi masterpiece he co-created with writer Warren Ellis. The series isn't just a hit with readers; it's a multiple Eisner Awards winner, solidifying Cassaday’s status as one of the best in the business. His detailed, yet minimalist style—combining powerful imagery with clean lines—was nothing short of iconic. He made you feel like you were watching a big-budget movie, all while flipping through a comic book. A Lasting Impact on Marvel Comics Cassaday’s influence on Marvel Comics cannot be overstated. His work on Astonishing X-Men redefined the franchise, breathing new life into characters like Cyclops, Wolverine, and Emma Frost. Collaborating with writer Joss Whedon, the duo gave fans a run of X-Men stories that still holds up today. Cassaday’s illustrations had a way of capturing both the grandeur of superhero life and the more intimate, human moments. You know, like when Wolverine’s rage would bubble up, or when Kitty Pryde faced off against the towering Danger Room sentinel. Cassaday was there to make sure every panel hit with the force of a mutant-powered freight train. But he didn’t just stop with Marvel. His work with other publishers, including I Am Legion and The Lone Ranger, showcased his versatility as an artist, able to tackle a variety of genres with finesse. A Tragic Loss at 52 The news of John Cassaday’s passing sent shockwaves through the comic book community. He was just 52, a tragically young age for someone so immensely talented. His sister, Robin, shares the heartbreaking news on social media. She reveals that Cassaday had been admitted to the ICU in New York just days before. While the exact cause of death hasn’t been confirmed, it was noted that his brain was the main concern, even though his organs and heart were functioning normally. Comic book creators and fans alike flooded social media with tributes to Cassaday, praising his unmatched artistic talents and offering condolences to his family and friends. As one of the industry’s leading lights, his death is a huge loss, but his legacy lives on through the incredible work he left behind. Final Thoughts: An Artist Who Shaped a Generation John Cassaday wasn’t just a comic artist—he was a storyteller, a visionary, and a trailblazer. From his contributions to Marvel Comics to his groundbreaking work on Planetary, Cassaday’s art helped define what modern comic books could be. His passing is a tragic loss, but his work will continue to inspire artists, writers, and readers for years to come. If you’ve never picked up a John Cassaday comic, do yourself a favor—grab a copy of Astonishing X-Men or Planetary and prepare to be blown away. The man was a master, and we were lucky to have him.

'The “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” movies were certainly the iconic duo of the summer.

Both blockbusters were met with smashing success, generating a combined $235.5 million in ticket sales on opening weekend. Following the weekend, a viral X (formerly known as Twitter) post displayed the popularity of each movie in U.S. states.

Interestingly, the graphic looks very similar to the 2020 electoral map. The map shows Barbie trending more in Republican states, while Oppenheimer was more popular in Democratic states. Even the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were evenly divided between the two blockbusters.

To me, this was fascinating. Why would Barbie, a movie accused by conservatives of being too “woke” and “feminist,” be so popular in the South? Why does a movie about the inventor of the atomic bomb appeal to liberals with more anti-nuclear proliferation stances?

First, we have to consider that the Barbie doll, for many, has long been a symbol of traditional gender roles and femininity. Barbie is simple and apolitical. She is content with her life and focused on happiness. For many, her perfect lifestyle is an escape from the complexity of real life. Her image is the epitome of a perfect America.

But is this the image that people saw when they went to see the movie? Did it celebrate a perfect America?

No. The movie itself disrupts these stereotypes, presenting a new face for Barbie. It depicts her growing awareness of the flaws in society. She emerges from her perfect pink universe into the real world. She is confronted with the negative aspects of her image, particularly her perpetuation of unrealistic beauty standards. Meanwhile, when the Kens travel to the real world, they realize that there is political power in gender. Barbie has to fight to assert that the direction of society should be guided by what is right and not gender.

So, while conservatives may have watched “Barbie” expecting to see a simple depiction of America, the movie actually challenged traditional beliefs. In fact, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro, in a YouTube video, called it “one of the most woke movies I have ever seen,” claiming its intended audience was unclear.

Conservatives may have missed the point of the movie. It is not the movie version of “Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse.” It is a social commentary meant to take a satirical attitude about gender roles and traditional femininity. Perhaps the marketing of the movie failed to adequately emphasize that it was not a cartoon aimed at children but a response to society’s criticism of Barbie.

On the “Oppenheimer” side, it’s clear why some states favored the movie. New Mexico, for instance, the state with the highest percentage of Oppenheimer viewers, was the location for the Manhattan Project testing. The movie is a depiction of New Mexico’s own history and global impact, which drew in many viewers.

But for other states, it’s a little less obvious. Is “Oppenheimer” intended for more Democratic audiences? The movie does take a more left-wing stance on America’s past. “Oppenheimer” doesn’t shy away from opening debate about the U.S.’s bombing of the Japanese. This film certainly takes an anti-jingoist view, questioning the U.S.’s aggressive foreign policy during the Cold War.

But, like with “Barbie,” did Democrats see the movie they were expecting?

They may have expected to see a movie about Oppenheimer as a martyr of the McCarthyism era. He was suspected of being a Soviet spy despite his tremendous contribution to the war effort in America. However, Oppenheimer’s portrayal wasn’t as clear-cut as the audience might have expected. He was depicted as arrogantly entitled because of his genius. The movie exposes his flaws and doesn’t paint him as a perfect figure.

Audiences for both movies might have expected a simple depiction of both Barbie and Oppenheimer. However, the film they actually saw presented both characters in a more complex way. Barbie isn’t just a girly doll; Oppenheimer isn’t just a martyr hero scientist. The electoral map of “Barbenheimer” may have captured viewers’ expectations of both movies, but not the true nature of them. Instead, it captured the political values of America, showing the division between traditional values and progressive ones.'

𝐿𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝓉𝓇𝒾𝒶𝓃𝑔𝓁𝑒 𝒹𝓎𝓃𝒶𝓂𝒾𝒸: Head vs Heart// 🧠Y vs🫀B

How I think it would go:

Yeonjun and you would have been childhood friends like the iconic duo that always manage year after years to be in the same class. Yeonjun proud to be the chill class president students can rely on rather than fear and you his loyal vice president. When you were little that was something you enjoyed also since Yeonjun was quite popular you benefited from it too. He saw you as a little sister tho and growing up you felt like you wanted him to treat you as the woman you were and not just a “sister” or a “friend”. He was totally unaware of that and thought the situation was already perfect and hoped like a child it would last forever. Torn between wanting to affirm yourself leaving old responsibilities behind to find time for what you truly enjoy and your feelings for Yeonjun, that’s when Beomgyu a student Yeonjun and you often clashed with for his lack of seriousness at school and his dreamy,reckless,bold(dumb to you) attitude ended up unexpectedly tutoring you when your grade went down in your

//chosen subject// and he turned out quite as an hidden genius! His jokes weren’t so lame and taken aback by his patience and willingness to assist you, you started opening up to him faster than you thought! Thanks to him you told Yeonjun you didn’t wanted to be his vice anymore and your feelings for him at the same time, but as expected it didn’t went well and Yeonjun was persuaded that it was Beomgyu influence that made you have weird ideas like that, hurt by his words you stormed out yelling how could you being in love with him a weird idea and he was left shocked. The next day Yeonjun tried to act like nothing happened but infact you made him understand it wasn’t just a phase by firing yourself and finding a new vice the same day. Weeks passed and Beomgyu made helped you not miss Yeonjun one, you were over him in more or less than a month (romantically) but still missed his friendship. Yeonjun on his side realized he needed you in his life and that he was jealous of Beomgyu so he asked by message to hang out again as friend even if you were changed now he would adapt to it, when Beomgyu knew about this he felt Yeonjun could steal you again from him (infact he crushed on you since a long time) and you two argued about you telling Beomgyu that if he wanted to control everything for you he wasn’t that much different than Yeonjun. In the end for the next months it was a ping pong between Beomgyu and Yeonjun for your attention that you just ignored since your feelings were really clear now, to make them get along you even had to force them to hangout. Yeonjun confessed to you even tho he knew your choice was already done. One day Beomgyu was fighting with Yeonjun about who should hang out with you on that Friday (they divided “group hang outs” and “dates”equally so they could both have chances) and Yeonjun that lost his patience but promised to not expose you hinted at Beomgyu making him listen to an audio where you said “I already made my choice long ago” then he asked with a serious stare “You understand now? So let me go with her Friday night” And Beomgyu thinking the audio was about Soobin answered “Very well! She’s all yours i guess..” with a sarcastic smile to hide the tears. The next day Saturday you should have hanged out the three of y’all since on Sunday everybody would leave for the summer break and each one of you would go to different places for 2 whole months, you would have confessed to Beomgyu with Yeonjun help to surprise him and that’s why you met up with Yeonjun the night before. He didn’t showed up, you weren’t even angry neither surprised it was typical of him and you decided to enjoy your day with Yeonjun but that’s when he realized he must have thought wrong of the audio he immediately told that to you and you were at loss of words..you both took back your bicycle and ran to his home but you already lost time hanging and arguing and losing yourselves you arrived in his neighborhood and you could recognize his house cause you saw his car leaving for the station. Yeonjun and you were both too heavy to got fast so he told you he would get off. You arrived at the same fast than his car and tried to make him notice you by the window and finally he did but you didn’t saw the turning point and fell while his car fastened up since he was late and his parents didn’t stopped to his request. Yeonjun that ran after you eventually arrived with the surprise and yelled at you why you didn’t get back on the bicycle but you cried and whined it was too late he took your bike and made you hop in behind him trying to go the faster he could while you thought it was the end. You arrived, late, too late Beomgyu couldn’t convince his parents to wait and as you saw the train leaving with him it pierced your heart but Yeonjun even more heartbroken to see you like that started running after it and by miracle found Beomgyu window and Beomgyu seeing him outside yelling opened it and that’s when Yeonjun threw the surprise..

In the new things you tried out there was photography and you got a Polaroid, you told Yeonjun that found it useless that it was to catch the happy and special moments and keep them in an image so he sometimes tried watching trough it and find them..and that’s how he realized you chose him infact he captured all the little moments unconsciously between both of you and watching at the photos he kept, he could feel what you talked about..he gave you the photos (because he originally wanted to confess with yours with him) and you took his idea deciding to write behind each one of them a part of your confession.

Beomgyu opened up the little box and couldn’t believe it.

He convinced his parents to stop at the next stop to have break and you had time to join him here to say bye. Yeonjun told you to go alone cause it was about you two even if the truth was that he was hurt.

Back from summer you became a couple and Yeonjun had his happy end too falling for a girl in vacations than then came as a new student to your class and she became his new vice.

You ended high school as an iconic couple quator.

THE END

You ended with: Beomgyu

The Renaissance Of West Coast Hip Hop: E-40's Influence In The '00s

E-40, the rap legend, has been making waves in Hip Hop, especially with that West Coast vibe. As an "elder statesman" of the genre, he's been soul-searching while celebrating Hip Hop's 50th birthday. A true OG! At the ripe age of 37, and 38, E-40 released the "Ghetto Report Card." Boom! His career accelerated like a rocket on a mission. It was pure magic, baby! Not only was he part of the crunk movement, but he also rode the hyphy wave like a boss. The man was juggling "U and Dat," "Snap Yo Fingers," and more hits, taking the South and the West Coast with a bang! Now, for some funny facts! Can you imagine E-40 busting those rhymes at 37, still killing it like a smooth operator? It's like he discovered the fountain of youth, spitting fire and setting the stage on blaze. Age is just a number. He's got a whole rap legacy to look back on, and it's worth celebrating! So, what's E-40's strategy for staying relevant and strengthening his impact? How did he make an impact in not one but two hot rap movements simultaneously? He had to be twice as cool, twice as fast – and three times as fly! E-40's Rap Legend Status: How Streaming Could Have Elevated His '90s Classics Many artists would have been much more successful if streaming had been available years ago. For instance, with the ability to reach more people, it is likely that the success of his '90s classics like "Practice Lookin' Hard" and "Sprinkle Me" would have made him even more of an icon in the rap world. “Imagine if there was streaming back then when we had “Tell Me When to Go,” “Bitch,” and “Choices.” We would be diamond on each one of those records," said E-40. "I put new life into the West Coast in 2006. And that’s no ifs, ands or buts. Can’t nobody say I didn’t, with the help of Lil Jon. And not funny no more.” 50 Cent thought Juvenile's album "400 Degreez" would be laughed at these days. Yep, we can't help but chuckle at the thought! Juvenile stood next to his yellow Corvette, all shiny and polished. And what was the verdict? 50 and others laughed their hearts out, thinking he was a bit too "country." Oh, the good ol' days of rap! 50 Cent Followed Juvenile's Lead Since its release in December 1998, 400 Degreez has been certified 4x platinum by the RIAA. When the album sales numbers came rolling in, guess who was the first in line, asking for baby oil? You got it - our man, 50 Cent! It seems like Juvenile's shiny secret turned out to be a stroke of genius, and 50 was ready to shine bright like a diamond! By using baby oil, Juvenile was able to create a memorable appearance that was both eye-catching and easy to recreate, which helped to spread the word about his music and drive up album sales. 50 Cent saw the success of Juvenile's strategy and wanted to replicate it, which proved to be a wise decision as his album sales skyrocketed as well. How Rap Rivalries Pushed Artists To New Heights In the mesmerizing world of hip-hop, rappers find inspiration in the most unexpected places, often drawing from their fellow artists' unique styles and journeys. Take the iconic duo of Jay-Z and Nas, for example. When Jay-Z, another rap legend, released his classic track "Takeover," where he aimed at Nas, it sparked an epic rivalry between the two rappers. But instead of taking offense, Nas was inspired to hit back with his powerful response, "Ether." This fiery exchange fueled a creative fire within both artists, pushing them to new heights of lyrical prowess. Their mutual admiration and competitive spirit resulted in some of the most legendary diss tracks in rap history.

Whose Line Is It Anyway? CW version: Review

Colin Mochire, Ryan Stiles, and Wayne Brady: An iconic trio.

From what I can recall, from a fragment of memory I harbor from a random day back in the mid-2010s, my first exposure to Whose Line Is It Anyway, and its hilarious cast stemmed from the genius duo of Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie. I don't remember the bit, but Ryan and Colin's chemistry and impressive improvisational skills made me cry with laughter. I was exposed to their comedic chops on a random day while scrolling through cable tv channels with family around ten or so years ago, which sent me down a rabbit hole. I watched dozens of clips from them on Youtube and have been a fan of the show for years.

Whose Line Is It Anyway originally started as a radio show on the BBC in 1998. That same year, it moved to British television and aired for years during the 90s before getting a US version of the show, which aired from 1998 to 2007. The show returned once more in 2013 and has been running on the CW channel consistently since then. Whose Line is a comedic skit show starring 4 comedians and 1 host who perform in front of a live crowd.

Essentially there have been three iterations of the show and the format across five decades. I gave the UK version of the show a chance long ago but couldn't gravitate toward it since their sense of humor differed from mine. The version of the show that aired from 1998 to 2007, which we will call the ABC version since it ran on ABC during this time, and the CW version are my favorites, and I will talk primarily about them. (Moreso the latter rather than the former).

The CW version of Whose Line is incredibly funny, but the show falls short compared to the ABC version.

The ABC version of Whose Line prominently featured host Drew Carey with Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, and a fourth actor that varies with every episode. Every now and then, a surprise guest celebrity would join in on the fun and indulge in comedic showmanship. The games that Drew and the others participated in were a large variety. From Scenes from a Hat to Questions Only, to Three-Headed Broadway Star, to Whose Line, the dozens of games at their exposal attributed to the chaotic unpredictability the show brung.

One of my problems with the CW version is how formulaic it was for years. While the ABC version had guest stars sparingly, the CW version had almost every episode with a special guest. You could predict for the longest time what game they would start and the order. It begins with Let's Make A Date or Questions Only. Then the host would introduce the guest, and Wayne Brady would improvise a song that usually highlights the guest. Finally, they would bring the guest back one or two more times for games like Moving Parts and/or Helping Hands.

Repeat this process ad nausem, and it becomes a bit dull. Colin, Ryan, and Wayne haven't missed a bit as they've aged, but if you've seen one version of Helping Hands, then you've seen every version. Wayne Brady has fantastic range and an overall spectacular singing voice, but he's always singing the same kind of songs for every episode where unless the prompt the audience suggests is particularly batty, it's par for the course.

Thankfully, in the last few years, the episodes aired have strayed away from the special guests. Most surprise guests are not as funny or talented in this field as Colin or the others, taking away from the comedic genius the group provides.

To a lesser extent, my only other gripe with the show is perhaps the host, Aisha Tyler. Actually, it's not even a gripe. I like Aisha Tyler. Is she as funny as former host Drew Carey? Personally, I don't think so, but I enjoy her presence and how she bounces off of Wayne, Ryan, and the others easily.

Let's put it simply. ABC's Whose Line Is It Anyway is improv at its finest and warrants a watch if you didn't watch back then or see clips on Youtube or other social media. CW's Whose Line is slightly inferior only because the format of the show leaves multiple episodes feeling the same as they start and end with the same games and sometimes make the same or similar jokes. However, Colin, Ryan, and Wayne, when not forced to work with special guests, are at their best as their chemistry and quick thinking skills provide an uproariously hilarious time. If you like improv and their old bits, I encourage viewers to check out their revival on the CW before they finish the show once more.

ABC's version would be a 4/5 while CW's is a 3.5/5.

Vivi w/ Vocal Unit

synposis: vivi's relationship with the members of the vocal unit

Jeonghan

#vihan (비한)

these two would compete over who has the best hair during svt's earlier era

she would often help take care of his long hair as she knows the struggle of maintaining long hair from having long hair when she was young (it used to go all the way to her waist)

honestly she misses his long hair bc she loved making braids and trying different hairstyles on him

thought he was a sweet and kind angel when she first met bc he didn't make her feel any different as the only girl

but man was she wrong

the amount of pranks that he easily pulls on her since she a little bit more gullible than the other members

but he’s so observant of her so he knows when she’s not feeling up for the pranks and taunts

1/2 vivi's mom line

he likes to invite her for dinner once in a while, just to catch up w/ each other and to make sure she's eating properly

he's super supportive of everything she does

he always talks about how much she's grown and became so mature

Joshua

#eunso (은수)

these two bonded as new foreign trainees who were still adjusting to a new country and culture

these two are always having english convo which vivi is grateful for bc she's pretty sure she would have forgotten english if it wasn't for him

an iconic moment between the two from predebut was when she in a bad mood and she mumble a curse in spanish in front of the boys, joshua was stunned

she had no idea he knew spanish too especially curses words so when she saw he face she was like "you understood?!???"

he was readying to clean her mouth w/ soap

1/2 vivi’s mom line

just like s.coups he checks on her to make sure she is not causing trouble

he always made sure she did her homework and stayed on track for school

he was so proud of her when she graduated since it was pretty touch and go for a while

he was like all that work paid off 🤧

always there to help her when she gets headaches bringing her something cool or taking her away from noisy places

Woozi

#vihoon (비훈)

she has such mad respect for this man

he was just amazing at everything, writing/producing, singing, dancing, and rapping

he admired her ambition to become a better rapper and writing lyrics

he has such a soft spot for her

she's the only one who allow to bug him in studio

sometimes when she's bored she would sit in the back of the his studio watching him make hits after hits

ever now and then he would give her lessons

but he is super tough when she is recording bc he knows she has so much potential

which can lead to some arguments bc he sometimes wants things to be done a certain way and she sometimes either thinks it should be another way or just doesn't understand

they always end up working it out after discussing and her raps end being FIRE

i mean he's a genius and she's bloody talented

#seokeun (선은)

he’s one of the members that makes her smile the most

if she’s being too quiet or if she’s really upset, seokmin is sent to rescue her

his laugh is contagious to her

she absolutely loves it and always make her laugh

affection duo

hugs, hugs, and more hugs

since they both get frighten easily they always trying to comfort each other

key word: TRYING

so many complication of them (plus seungkwan & mingyu) chaotically screaming together and hugging each other from a scare

vivi has never really been into musicals but went w/ jeonghan on the opening night of XCalibur to support seokmin and ended up crying her eyes out

she kept coming back after, she just couldn't get enough of his performance and she found a new appreciation for musicals

honestly she is impressed that she never seen him angry at her especially when she's being a pain in the ass

Seungkwan

#jikwan (지관)

the sassy duo

1/2 bicker siblings

like vivi is pretty quiet for the most part but put her next to him and all hell break lose

love riling each other up

they always saying how much they hate each other or how annoying the other is

but its how their relationship is

these two are probably the best of friends

super protective of each other though since they both got a lot of criticism from knetz for their appearances

she will fight anyone who says anything rude about his appearance

vivi never really knows what's going on in the kpop industry so he always keeps her updated even though she never asks

but every now and then she thankful for it bc its save her face during interviews and games when she remembers it

he always there to save her during variety shows when she says something and it wasn't funny or when she isn't talking much

Ok whatever reception I’m on has been like on the brink of death for like the past hour or two I tried sending this in and it gave me a grey loading bar that wouldn’t move so I just canceled that and am resending it but if it somehow doubles you’ll know why SHSHSHS

Wait pause before I do anything else idk why but my tiktok link copy feature is tweaking but you NEED to watch the most recent tiktok from @/vamptombz im begging you

Ok back to the topic Nagi fr having it rough from the start at least in the end he gets to laze about LMAO

PLSLSL IM CRYING LMAO that’s kinda funny because I always like differentiation more but anyways that Barou doodle will forever be my icon now

LMAOO when you said prodigy/genius while describing sae i was alr thinking “isn’t this just nagi” HAHAH sae fr a bit crusty in the beginning but I agree i also usually like the genius trope but something about sae just doesn’t do it for me?? Maybe it’s the personality lowk sometimes he feels a little bland if ykwim

Thank god for Karasu omg the sae fans are just too strong everytime I get like a fic on my fyp (??? Whatever it’s called here) it’s usually sae or includes him and I’m like damn ok thanks ig

Wait that’s lowk kinda surprising wtf actually lowk with things like cofagrigus and spiritomb you’d and just the general idk graveyard burial stuff you’d think there’d be more rock type ghost duos (Ik spiritomb is ground and cofagrigus is just ghost but I can lowk see rock fitting them too) but yeah good to know LMAO

CRIME AU wait this is gonna be so interesting that’s also such a unique combo??? Would have never seen it coming LMAOO I also haven’t watched supernatural LOL but fr!! At least for me my reasoning is that l usually don’t go out of my way to read out of canonverse aus it’s usually something that has to catch my eye or something I can get invested into (like hollyhock LMAO and also pursuit but that’s also special because I’m also a pokemon nerd) like if it’s not a specific universe ik or particularly like either I’m not usually one to go for those first even though some of them are fire!! Forbidden love would’ve been really interesting too ig maybe people thought itd be hard to fit in maybe with bllk? Not sure tbh LMAO BUT I agree the 1k list looks STACKED also wait can we get a Mira analysis on the teams that were formed LMFAOOO

AHAHAH we summoned them by accident stop is this the universe saying something….no we will stay strong!!! YOURE SO RIGHT the entire opp squad and sae x3 omg (wait i hate how that looks because it looks like that emote with the cat face mouth but anyways) ok imagine if that one requester went with ness instead of having Karasu as an option too that would’ve been over half of them being the opp squad wait AIKU LMAOAOA no because with all of the oaeu talk he’s grown on me too just as a goofy character he’s so funny and his dynamic with other players is hilarious even though we don’t fw the stubble (it’s ok aikulations can be the oaeu exclusive bonus)

Waittt you’re so right (your inbox is gonna explode) better start thinking of another event theme LMAOO please please please more tabieitaken spotlight guys enlighten yourselves and open your eyes join us….(SAE THEME DONT SAY THINGS LIKE THAT /j)

LMAOOOOOO FATJER WHO STEPPED UP Niko comes back from his journey like “why are you in my house” and aikus like “Hey kiddo! Or should I say…son”*elbow nudge*

I can just imagine karasus look of defeat when reader brings out either one like “ugh nvm let’s get this over with”

LMAOAOAOA READER CRYING “you sounds just like my cousin when we were happy little kids” karasus like “what kid is calling others a fucking donkey????” Antibullying campaign PLEASE pursuit au has so much potential for all these goofy moments I love it sm

Imaging aegislash telling hoopa a drama epic to keep it occupied LMAO also I’m crying the hydreigon yveltal linkedin meetup imagine they’re having a coffee chat

Me I have to get slapped back into normal standards reality like wait haha 5k+ is kinda insane what was I on…anyways we should plot your wcs onto an excel graph and take a look at the trends /j also speaking of freaky Friday I’ll have you know every now and then I reread that because I’m like “this is comedy gold plus it has loser Karasu too” or when none of the tags have any activity and I feel like reading something I just grab something from your masterlist

LMAOOO aww man Barou could’ve had a buddy up in th clouds with him :( /j dw I get what you mean though LOL maybe a tiktok audio will come through again or you’ll be struck with inspiration at the gym

- Karasu anon

HAHAH i did get it twice but it’s okay dw abt it!! tumblr just randomly tweaks out ik i’ve sent the same comment three times by accident before because it wasn’t sending so i hit the button a bunch of times and then they all sent at once

HELP I WAS LITERALLY GOING TO SEND THAT TO YOU GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE it’s literally oaeu aiku and barou i’m crying

nagi fr had to play the long game…like yeah things were tough at first but he ended up w the most powerful person in the region as his wife it doesn’t get easier than that 😭 PLUS a psychic type pokémon LMAOAAO i know for a fact if he’s feeling lazy he’s just like…reuniclus…levitate my dinner over…and reuniclus is like 😄 and does it right away 😩 wait also now that i’m thinking abt it him being from aquacorde makes sense because he likes swimming (aka floating in the water) and knows a bit about fishing in pursuit so it checks out that he has that background knowledge given where he’s from 🤔 another example of pursuit fr just writing itself HAHA

NOOO another karasu anon and mira disconnect…wait actually no this just means we make up calculus together LMAOOO pls that barou doodle + justin bieber + seabird are fr my legacy atp

YES IT IS NAGI i feel like that’s why i was drawn to him in the start plus it’s much more heavily emphasized with nagi that he’s so talented and genius (and the drawbacks of that are also explored) whereas w sae it’s just mentioned and see through rin’s eyes so it doesn’t feel as immediate ig 🤔 although idk because that’s how yuta was in jjk season 1 and i liked him immediately lowkey maybe it’s sae’s fuck ass hair

PLSS sae is always included fr nagi and sometimes reo are the only non opps consistently included in those multi character fics (side note but it’s lowkey a pet peeve of mine when someone writes a half paragraph blurb and then tags it as fifty separate character…like come on now…) whenever i see karasu i’m like LET’S GO lowkey karasu in smaus especially doesn’t even feel like himself sometimes 😟 maybe it’s time for me to lock in and start posting smaus or smth HAHAHA i still look back at the two i posted for you that were hyper specific to that one au and giggle

yeah i was surprised lowkey some of the ground ghosts like golett/golurk could’ve been rock ghost tbh 🤔 and spiritomb is actually dark ghost!! which was a really good typing until the fairy type dropped LMAOO

au’s are def hard for me to get into unless they’re very well thought and well done OR alternatively super close to canon (like a “oh what if this one thing changed” or “what if they just happened not to be in bllk” type of vibe) so i get that!! i love coming up with them though and agreed pursuit is special like it’s its own thing 🤩 i do think forbidden love would’ve had to go with one of the au’s actually my mutual who requested scovillain had just listed three types in her req (fire grass poison) w barou and i had to be like ok girl pick two HAHAHA and she went with fire and grass 👆🏻 i’m trying to think of which characters would give forbidden love vibes in an au…maybe rin?? mostly because i have a megumi royal au where he’s a royal guard to a princess reader and i think rin could do that role fairly well (although he’s not as worried about duty/doing the right thing so maybe not??? ig perhaps kunigami could pull it off)…hiori could as well most likely but those are the only ones that are jumping out to me (and ofc karasu because he makes everything work my shining star 🌟)

wait do you want a team analysis on the pokémon themselves because ngl they’re kinda random 😭 or like what i plan to write for each one?? sorry this is a dumb question i’m a little slow sometimes i fear…

THAT’S WHAT I’M SAYING LIKE OPP SQUAD IS TOO UBIQUITOUS THIS TIME AROUND LMAOOO it’s okay we will make do and have fun regardless 😍 wait it actually literally is 6 opps and 5 side characters (and then reo HAHA he’s in the middle because i love him but he’s def more popular) okay no because i’m in the same boat like i’m still not attracted to him but he’s so funny like i just want to be his best friend who he introduces to his fine ass teammates

HELP i’ll start thinking now pls given how long it took me to come up w the 1k theme it actually might be necessary to do so 😩 PLS maybe for april fools day i should change my blog to be sae themed 😭

WAIT lowkey imagine that’s how aiku and niko meet like he’s niko’s mom’s new bf and niko has to rescue him from the runt pokémon before his mom gets back so aiku isn’t embarrassed in front of her (not that she would care) and as thanks aiku’s like “hold on lil bro i’ll set you up w a baddie my friends have a daughter i can introduce you to” and that’s how niko gets involved w nagiy/n’s daughter BUT she’s already traveling with charles so there’s lowkey that brewing and her + niko just become bffs instead (who are completing the pokédex for aiku because Niko’s mom and reader made them [i would’ve said nagi and reader but realistically nagi does not care])

LMAOAO karasu’s going on and on about how he finally beat galvantula so he’s basically the goat blah blah blah and reader’s like “oh word???” and just tosses out hydreigon and he’s like “😟😐😔” GALVANTULA SLANDER WILL NEVER BE TOLERATED

the pokémon at the wedding are so silly because aegislash is just telling hoopa the plot of the entire isekai manwha that it forced reader and nagi into, hydreigon is networking w yveltal, xerneas is at the buffet for some reason, houndoom keeps howling because she misses her brother, garchomp and nidoqueen showed up in a matching tux/dress combo?? chosen by karasu himself like truly it’s insane 😭

HELPP NOT EXCEL is the women in stem coming out of us today…is this where we confess that we both have side gigs as math marchionesses and programming princess…but omg loser karasu my beloved lowkey between bfb and fwtkac i forget abt freaky friday but it was so silly and goofy i will always love that line where reader is going on an internal rant and she ends it with something like “am i supposed to aim when i take a piss or is this a freestyle thing” FJSKDJSJ tagging that fic was so funny because like karasu’s dick is brought up more than once so i had to mention it but like i had to double down on the “this is NOT smut this is NOT explicit it’s just relevant to the humor” because i’m a mostly no-nsfw blog so i didn’t want people to think i was breaking that streak 😩

JFDJHSHS time to kill someone else off in pursuit so barou’s not alone in heaven i vote aiku (jkjk we need aiku to be niko’s stepfather…if it has to be someone let it be otoya 🙏🏻 cause of death karasu crashes out after he endangers reader’s life AGAIN in order to get a girl’s number)

all of the tik tok audios i’ve been getting have just been giving me more pursuit ideas LMAOOO but ig a win is a win 🤔⁉️ since it means more pursuit content and all
