Leaving You

Yandere Platonic Toman Boys AU

The day started out as many other days did. Or at least that was what he liked to tell himself. Huddled at the furthest end of this shell of a room, today was undoubtedly one of the most miserable days of his life. But that couldn’t be said for the rest that shared this depressing environment. Still pumped off of having none other than Toman’s former First Division Captain, Baji Keisuke himself, join the ranks of Valhalla, the men in their signature white jackets were restless in their waiting for the upcoming fight. The buzz in the air was palpable, and ever so often, Baji felt yet another pair of eyes toss a curious look his way, though they usually dropped their gaze before he could respond with a threatening glare.

The arcade itself was a horrible place to hangout, or to even exist in if he was being honest, the stench of smoke strong and choking with every breath, old, rusting surfaces covered with either cigarette ash or dust. Almost as if they were miles underwater, only the lightest, slightest rays of sunlight made it past the tinted glass doors, and none reached the back of the arcade, where Baji was, seated atop what seemed like a table hockey game in a previous life. At least the bar lights that hung down from the ceiling still served their purpose, casting an almost eerie white glow that seemed befitting of the sea of white jackets, though the men gathered here under the lights were far from angels.

Yet here he was, stuck in this hell he willingly walked into, all Baji could do was turn his attention back down to his phone; the mindless clicking and cycling between old photos and text messages at least serving as a brain-numbing distraction while he spaced out and thought of nothing. But even that was a lie he was trying to feed his brain and heart. As much as he wanted to, as he wished for a blank mind, all he could think of was the pain that his friends were going through, the pain that you were going through.

You haunted him even during the day; the thought of you finding out, as you would eventually, that he was no longer there, no longer a part of the Toman that was built to give you the world. That Baji had left of his own volition to join a rival gang, even after he told you with his own mouth that you had to remain loyal to Toman. Just a few more suffering minutes - hours - that he would have to sit here, tortured by his own thoughts, until he could leave. Until maybe the cool evening breeze kissing his skin could turn his thoughts to something else, or maybe until the last dying rays of sun would take his agony with it so he could get a good night’s sleep.

Biting back yet another sigh, the Toman Captain didn’t need to turn to confirm that Hanma, who had been lounging lazily on his throne of broken games all afternoon, still had one beady eye fixed on his back, just as he had since they gathered in the morning. But who could blame the acting head of Valhalla? He had been a former enemy up till just the previous day after all, and even with the backing of Kazutora, Hanma was right to keep a closer eye on him - Baji would have done the same. Though he silently hoped that the beansprout of a man would let them go - it was exhausting to have to keep up with this act, and Baji craved the warm embrace of his bed - he knew it was unlikely. And so the clock ticked on, and all he could do was listen.

Unknown to the two former Toman founders, the rumbling of the sky outside, a sudden and sharp contrast to the blazing afternoon sun that had been and was still beating down upon the parched earth, foreboded the brewing of a storm. Cautiously crossing the narrow alley road, the only obstacle left between you and the supposed Valhalla hideout, you silently thanked your past self for having the thoughtfulness to pack the current you an umbrella. The weather forecast had promised clear skies and good sun, though after having endured the tormenting heat on your walk here, you were holding out hope that it really did rain and bring some relief. The three full bento boxes, each wrapped in familiar furoshikis, hung heavy from your arm in an otherwise nondescript brown paper bag.

From the outside, the hideout was somewhere that would have never caught your eye or attention, you mused, even as you approached the tinted double glass doors. Old, rundown and falling apart was the feeling you got, and how an entire gang came to occupy this abandoned lot was something you supposed you were never going to find out. Raising one free hand, you could only steel your nerves. Hopefully this went as well as it did in your head.

It was, least to say, pretty puzzling to hear very polite knocks echoing off the glass doors of the old arcade that Valhalla was inhabiting. The gang of closest boys huddled near the doors looked at each other, confused, before the knocks came again, and the culprit shifted closer to the door, their silhouette now clear behind the translucent glass.

“Hello? Is there anyone in?” You called out, almost hesitantly, the nervous pounding of your heart clear on your face even though you tried your best to hide it. You didn’t want to be here, or in this position, for that matter. Maybe it was really a bad idea like what the boys said - even maybe a dangerous one - to come here alone, but at the same time, you didn’t want to drag anyone else into this.

Baji looked up annoyed from his phone, the unusually loud commotion at the door having pulled him out from his thoughts. A good thing, for one, to be distracted from the increasingly depressing spiral he was going down, yet a bad thing at the same time, now that he was back to reality and this shitty situation he was stuck in.

It was almost like he was stuck in a dream; a familiar figure at first, and then you, or hopefully someone that looked like you, appeared through the fog. But if this was really a dream, he could only assume that his dream was starting to border on a nightmare, and he would rather he woke up in hell - dream or not, what he was trapped in wasn’t something Baji would ever wish to get you caught up in.

Yet there you were, the actual physical you, coughing badly, a fragile silhouette against the larger boys around you. Your nose tucked into the crook of one elbow, the other clutched onto your school bag and an all too familiar lunch bag, the sound of clattering bento boxes was already echoing inside his head despite the growing hustle and bustle drowning out the comforting sound. Gripped too hard for your delicate self by one arm by yet another nameless thug, all Baji could do was watch as you desperately tried to pull out of the painful clutch, to back up and out from the cloud of cigarette smoke that seemed to perpetually hang over the arcade, although you didn’t seem to be making much progress against the jeering crowd of delinquents who seemed to swell around you with every passing second. With his newbie status, his hands were all but tied, even if his heart yearned to reach out to you, to beat these shitstains into the ground and take you into his arms. To flee back to Toman. But alas, all he did was watch.

"Boss, we found this little shit loitering outside t…"

His patience at its limit, before Baji could even make to stand and shout, a loud thud, quickly followed by another, as two members collapsed on the floor, Kazutora’s fists having made itself known full-forced into unguarded abdomens, and the sea of white jackets immediately fell silent. “Get lost.”

It was almost impressive how fast they dispersed, with most opting to flee the crowd towards the back of the arcade, waiting till they were far enough from the Valhalla’s Number Three to throw a few dirty looks and mutters, and some instead choosing to vacate the area entirely.

And with the sudden exodus of people around you, you had been all but dumped on the dirty floor, a pathetic, maybe even pitiful sight under the dim, swaying lights of the abandoned arcade, your legs sprayed under you as you hacked and coughed into the crook of your arm. Were you standing? Had you fallen over? You couldn’t even be sure, the lack of breathable air making your sight hazy and your head swirl.

But you must have fallen over at some point, you rationalized, as you were carefully, ever so gently, lifted up, both your arms hauled and tossed over two different sets of shoulders clothed in white jackets you didn’t recognise. One large hand pressed firmly over your nose and mouth to replace where your elbow had been, and you were hauled quickly towards the exit, the bright sunlight bursting into your tender eyes before you could even get your bearings. They stayed, holding back your hair, watching as you dry heaved and coughed the smoke out of your lungs, gulping down the fresh air as quickly as you could. Both Baji and Kazutora knew that you, ever so delicate, always had difficulty breathing around cigarette smoke.

“What were you thinking?” Kazutora muttered under his breath, his eyes having completely lost its earlier crazed look as he soothingly rubbed your back, Baji tucking a stray strand of hair behind your ear. “It’s not good for you in there.”

“I -” You heaved one last time, letting out a slight pant, a weary smile that matched your tired gaze revealed as you finally straightened from where you had been bent over a patch of overgrown grass. “I came to bring you boys lunch. Didn’t mean to get dragged in.”

Yet the moment you regained your bearings, your kind, fond eyes lightening up with excitement and cheer, your arms were thrown over both your friends, pulling them into one of your familiar hugs. Not that they minded in the slightest of course, taking the opportunity to snuggle into your chest, to push their faces into your neck and hair, the weights of their chest that had been there just moments ago from seeing you struggle to breathe lifting.

It seemed no matter where they were, which uniform they wore, you never failed to brighten the lives of everyone around you. Yet the little happy reunion wasn’t meant to last.

“Hey hey, who’s this pretty little thing?” The last voice either of them wanted to hear, cutting through their joy at having you back by their side like a wet knife through butter, had the two boys whirling around, sleezy, honeyed and all around amused.

How dare he, was the only thing that passed through the minds of your friends, as Hanma’s eyes landed on your comparatively smaller figure, wretched golden orbs scanning you up and down. How dare this scum looked upon you with his undeserving eyes, speak to you with his worthless tongue. You were theirs, and theirs alone.

But before Kazutora even had the chance to bare his fangs, to tell this outsider, even if he was the Valhalla Acting Captain, to fuck back off into the hellhole he came from, you had already stepped forward, gingerly taking one giant, filthy, tattooed hand into both of yours.

“You must be the one that has been taking care of Kazutora and Baji for me.” There was no malice, no lies in your smile. Like a spark of light that fell from the sun, bright, kind, genuine, the complete opposite from those fake, insincere, bloodthirsty grins that inhabited his world. You, your smile, your soft, gentle gaze, they weren’t anything that he had seen in the dark underbelly of the delinquent world where Valhalla, and people like him, thrived. “Thank you.”

Pressing a small transparent bag into his hand as you let go, the same kind that he knew all too intimately, instead of the familiar pills and powder that he expected to find inside, the bag was filled with pieces of steaming karaage, a little toothpick poking out of the bag, held up by the tightly done rubber band. “I hope you like karaage. Fried it up a little while ago, so be careful!”

And you were intuitive too, letting go of his hand just quickly enough that your two friends all but growling behind you haven’t the opportunity to leap into action, yet long enough to leave your touch imprinted on his hand. The small wave and ‘bye’ that you tossed at him before hooking your arms into Kazutora’s and Baji’s was enough to leave him wondering, watching as your odd little trio made off to places unknown, quickly disappearing over the curve of the horizon, the bento boxes you had been carrying from the start gently clattering in its bag until fading completely.

“Interesting,” was all Hanma could mutter, a small smile replacing the usual lazy smirk that he wore, as he turned to stroll, not back into the smoky hideout, but in the opposite direction, your bag of karaage held firmly in one hand. No way in hell he was sharing this.

“Tuck in, tuck in.” Spread out on the familiar picnic mat, you dried your wet hands on the back of your school shirt before prying open your own box, a chuckle slipping out when your friends needed no further encouragement, eagerly digging in, shoveling food into their mouths as quickly as they could. After a quick rinse of your hands at the insistence of both Baji and Kazutora, you had made for somewhere quieter to enjoy your lunch, a comfortable silence settling over your little group.

Any questions that had been bubbling up in Baji’s mind, questions about how you knew about Valhalla, about both his and Kazutora’s change in allegiance, about where the Valhalla hideout was, they all but evaporated with the ring of your laughter over the heavenly smell of your cooking, the nostalgia, the comfort of home washing over any doubts he had.

Then more laughter when Kazutora inevitably got a dab of mayo on the tip of his nose, you reaching over to clean your friend’s face. The sun had sunk much lower in the sky as lunch drew to a close, a light breeze having started up sometime when you were eating, tossing your hair and ruffling your school uniform. The boxes were stacked neatly back up, but just as Baji made to replace them in their bag, you stopped him.

"Oh and I almost forgot!” Tossing open the flap of your school bag, you retrieved yet another set of bento boxes, well-camouflaged between a few books and papers, ruffling your signature brown paper bag as you set the new boxes in. “Kazutora, bottom is for dinner tonight, top is Baji’s snack, alright?"

Beaming, your smile had always seemed like a second sun to Baji as you hooked the paper bag handle over Kazutora’s awaiting arm, but even now, the light that usually sparked his dark world was dulled, your smile failing to reach your anxious eyes.

"I’ll see you tomorrow then, Baji, Kazutora."

It took just a little too long for your words to register in Baji’s brain, even as Kazutora waved you off enthusiastically, tucking his hand into his pockets as he made back towards the rundown arcade. Tomorrow? But tomorrow was the big fight. How did you-

But when he snapped back, his hand reaching for you, to grab you, to tell you with a cracking voice he could feel building up in his throat that you had no place in this fight, in his fight, you were already gone. You never did once bring up that you knew throughout the entirety of the lunch, never asked about Valhalla or why Baji and Kazutora were opposing Mikey and Toman. You had just been you the whole time, and Baji didn't like this sinking feeling in his stomach.

You didn’t go straight back home - you couldn’t, not to the quiet, dark, lonely house that awaited you. Instead, your thoughts began to wander, just like how you now wandered darkened streets under the moonless sky with just your phone in hand, back to two nights ago when you found out the true extent of the turmoil stirring behind the iron curtain that you have never been permitted past. The streets were empty of both humans and vehicles, the stillness of the surroundings only broken by the buzz of crickets and the quiet buzz of the street lamps above.

Although you couldn’t say for certain how the two boys that appeared at your front door knew to find you, at the same time, you had to admit that you were grateful for their intervention - you weren’t sure if Mikey and the others would have ever told you. It had, after all, never been their intention to drag you into their world of delinquents, and you had been more than happy to respect their wishes up till now.

Yet all you could do in the moment was to keep wondering to yourself even as you trailed the familiar path home.

On the other side of town, the butterflies that churned in Takemichi’s stomach as he tossed around in bed all but prevented him from a good night’s rest, even when he needed it the most, given the big fight was tomorrow. Having received your message on your failure at reigning in Baji and Kazutora, it seemed that this whole spectre was still going down anyway. Now lying on his back, eyes turned up towards his empty ceiling, the boy couldn’t help but recall how yet another individual was dragged into this mess, dragged into a mess that he had a hand in creating.

The afternoon sun was still high in the sky, but both Chifuyu and Takemichi already knew deep in their guts that the earlier meeting with Baji that had all but collapsed meant that their hands were now tied. Even as the light breeze helped to somewhat dull the raging heat, kissing their skin and lifting the sweat that beaded on their forehead, it did nothing to calm the anxiety churning in Takemichi's stomach.

There just must be something else that they could do. Someone that could just talk sense into either Baji or Kazutora. "Chifuyu-kun, I -" His nails dug hard into the flesh of his palm, the hopelessness of the situation finally settling in long after the adrenaline faded, the echo of his footsteps dying off as the duo shuffled into the shelter of a bus stop, a temporarily respite from baking in the sun. “There must be something else we can do.”

All he received in response was a sigh, Chifuyu running one hand through his hair, the perspiration bouncing merrily on the ends of his hair.

“There is someone who might be able to help. But I’m not sure-” He trailed off, his gaze seemingly turning to stare off into the distance. Anything involving you, or even talking about you, inside or outside Toman was risky business, and Chifuyu understood that all too well.

“We need to try.”

Another sigh, the Toman Vice Captain opting to fish out his phone from the pockets of his black uniform instead of responding, keying in a number that Takemichi couldn’t see, and taking a few steps out into the sunlight before holding up the phone to his ear.

“- Alright, understood. Thanks again.” The snapping shut of Chifuyu’s phone only seemed to add to the tension between the duo, as he turned to take the same few steps back under the shade, his eyes turning up from his phone to meet Takemichi’s. "Just shut up and follow me, alright?"

Having been led down winding paths and through narrow, smelly alleyways between towering buildings, Takemichi could barely tell where he was, blindly following Chifuyu’s mob of golden hair through areas of the city he never knew existed. The sunlight didn't reach down here, and the boy had to be all but yanked back, down behind a few waylaid trash cans, right before he almost stumbled out into the alluring sunlight, out from the shadows of the small back lane that overlooked what seemed like a quiet river.

And right there, under the shade of a tilted tree, was you, tucked away in a little alcove that overlooked the gently flowing river. But you weren’t alone, a mob of golden hair anyone would recognise lying, sleeping perhaps, cuddled in your lap, one of your hands running ever so gently through his hair even as the other quickly cooling the two of you briskly with what looked like a small black folding fan.

"The final founding member of Toman." Came Chifuyu's whispered response to Takemichi’s unasked question. You were the open secret that all members in Toman knew about, but were barred from acknowledging on the pain of assured death. Your name was only mumbled below breaths when new members were briefed, away from the listening ears of the captains, and more so the founders - those who had survived long enough knew what awaited any that dared to even mention you on their unworthy tongues. Mikey barely looked like himself with you, peaceful, asleep, comfortable. He looked his age for once, mused Takemichi, even as he squinted against the harsh sunlight.

Grabbing your hand mid-comb, the two boys watched as the Toman founder got up from where he had been lying, and with uncharacteristic gentleness, intertwined his fingers with yours as he helped you up.

“We’ll follow them.” Yet before Takemichi could make a move, he was yet again yanked back down. Confusion washing over his face, it only took a second to follow the hand clutching his sleeve in a death grip back to his Chifuyu’s face to realize that the calm, collected facade he was all too familiar with had been replaced with a ghostly pale face, the fear all too visible in his now quaking eyes, the first time ever he had seen his partner shaking in his boots.

“This -” Chifuyu swallowed hard. “This is a bad idea.”

“We don’t have a choice.” Came Takemichi’s muttered response, as he hurriedly threw another glance back at the river bank. Good, you and Mikey were still there, Mikey seemingly taking his time to snuggle his face into your neck. “We need to stop Baji-kun.”

“You don’t know what you’re messing with.” Nothing ended well with you involved, and memories, too many memories, welled up from the dark recesses of his mind where he had forced them away, the consequences of tangling with you, where getting off with just a few broken bones was considered merciful. His own close brush with death was, of course, at the forefront of his mind, and Chifuyu loathed to find out his fate should the Toman founders ever find out what they were considering at the moment. To not only look at you, but to talk to you? Without them there? What would Baji-san think?

“Chifuyu-kun, this is our last chance to stop this fight.” The determination that sparked in the other’s eyes was almost convincing, but what changed his mind wasn’t that, far from it. It was the fear that shone through in Takemichi’s gaze, clear and simple, even with the resolution that Chifuyu could see burning fiercely alongside.

“Fine. But you follow my lead. You understand? We are as good as dead if we get caught.”

And so Takemichi did, quietly following behind Chifuyu, their duo lightly treading after you and Mikey as the two of you seemed to trail almost aimlessly all afternoon and evening, keeping to the quiet, dark alleyways where they could watch as you snacked your way through town. Countless numbers of taiyakis and sweets were bought and lightly fed to Mikey, you laughing brightly when the same snacks were pressed into your mouth. Yet all the while, it didn't escape them that your fingers stayed tightly locked with Mikey’s.

And finally, after an eternity of creeping and crawling through god-knows what in Tokyo’s dirty back alleys, you led them straight to your home. Though being at the distance they were at, and night having already bled into the sky, a merciful relief from the heat of the day, neither Chifuyu nor Takemichi could confirm if Mikey had left your house. It was just a risk they had to take, the duo decided wordlessly, waiting just long enough after your room’s lights had gone off before making their way up to your porch.

A few short, light raps seemed to do the trick to summon you to the front door, the duo outside not daring to risk pressing the doorbell. A small pop, and the door opened a crack, the moonlight slipping through and illuminating you against the black backdrop of your unlit house.

“Can I help you?”

The dim white light from the half moon only seemed to make your eyebags look even darker, your drowsy gaze looking them up and down before finally sharpening into focus when you recognised their uniform. Toman uniforms.

But just as Chifuyu began to speak, the first syllables of his name having barely left his lips, you had already put a finger to your lips, your tired gaze flicking up for just a second, back in the direction of your room he supposed, before turning back to them. You had a guest, it seemed, someone who was better off remaining asleep.

A quick nod. "Matsuno Chifuyu, Toman First Division Vice Captain." The whispered introduction was still loud against your silent neighbourhood, though the stillness was broken by the occasional rustle of leaves.

"Hanagaki Takemichi."

Your weary, yet gentle eyes seemed to peer through them into their souls, though your gaze was quickly broken by a yawn that escaped up from between your lips. “I don’t have long, but what can I do for you boys?”

Everything spilled out like the unstoppable tide. Baji leaving Toman, Kazutora and Valhalla, in rapid, hushed mutters, bit by bit, you learned everything that your friends had been hiding from you. No, not hiding. This was their world, the same one that your six friends had been trying to protect you from, even as they moved in the shadows to build their promised future for you. And you listened ever so patiently, gently running one hand through Chifuyu’s hair as desperate tears welled up and spilled over red eyes, an almost soothing presence in the difficult tale.

"I promise I'll do everything I can." A slight grumble that floated down the corridor seemed to be like a bell, you removing your hands from them and barely managing to wave a quick goodbye to them before the door closed silently behind you, the click of the lock signalling the end of their short time with you. They heard your steps lightly patter away, up what seemed like stairs before completely fading away.

“Go and get some rest.” Chifuyu mumbled, the day’s events having thoroughly exhausted him, even as he cleaned his face on his sleeve. “Fight’s in two days.”

“Who was that?” Came the quiet mutter, Mikey snuggling into your arms, pushing his face into your chest as you wrapped your arms tight back around him.

“No one you need to worry about, Mikey. Go back to sleep.”

As inevitable as the sun would rise, the chime of a bell in the distance signalled that the long awaited clash of giants was here. Tokyo Manji Gang, baring down the larger Valhalla. And the fight went down about how Baji had expected. Under the blazing afternoon sun, the heat radiating from the dirt floor and rusting metal seemed like just another minor annoyance as Toman and Valhalla members rushed each other, a clash of a sea of white and black. Once pristinely kept uniforms were splattered with sweat and blood as fists flew and bones crunched, the cries of angers and groans of pain resounding and echoing off the sheet metal and other various abandoned materials.

Even as he waited and watched from his vantage point, his shaking fist clenched tightly, tucked into the pocket of his white Valhalla jacket, forcing himself to do nothing as Hanma intercepted Draken, even as Kazutora slowly lured Mikey away from the rest of Toman, his mind kept wandering back to you. Keen eyes scanning the battlefield, Baji missed nothing, not even Kisaki behind the pile of scrap cars awaiting his move, yet there was still no sign of you. You never lied to them, not to Baji, not to the rest. And it was this that Baji hasn’t yet decided if was good or bad. Did you make the right decision - the wise decision - to stay away?

An open shot at Kisaki, the rush of adrenaline and battle, was what finally broke his train of thoughts away from you.

Yet when he was all but tackled by Takemichi, the same short, blond boy who had attempted to stop him with words, after having brushed away his weak-willed Vice Captain with a heavy heart, short, quick footsteps rushed him from behind, the loud pounding of boots on metal, and - nothing.

Then came the quavering whimper of your name, and his heart sank even before he could whirl around, the sight of you between him and Kazutora seemingly pulled straight from the deepest recesses of his nightmares.

You heard your name croaked out, almost uncertainty, by a voice so familiar yet unidentifiable, before your legs gave way and you collapsed under your own weight. You never did hit the ground - stopped before you could by someone you couldn’t see, but with the sharp pain that you never thought you could feel now flooding your body and mind, it wasn’t like you could tell the difference. Looking down, though you probably shouldn’t have, only sent another wave of intensive pain through your body, the short handle of the knife Kazutora had just been holding mere seconds ago now sticking out of your abdomen, the patch of red on your previously white shirt spreading slowly but surely.

“Oops,” You breathed, your hand wandering weakly over to your new wound, gently feeling the growing wetness, wincing when your fingers brushed the wrong spot.

The sunlight was harsh on your eyes and your blurring gaze, and you knew that all too well; closing them would be a sorely welcomed relief. Yet your heart screamed at you, fighting to keep them open anyway - the last thing you needed in this moment was to give your friends the wrong ideas. As you were lowered ever so gently to the ground, Kazutora's stunned face and quaking, watering eyes seemed to have been shoved aside, replaced by other familiar, albeit worried, faces.

"The fuck you still standing around for, Kazutora!" Draken roared, dashing over to where you laid, the fight with Hanma having been quickly and strikingly ended with a single blow from Mikey. "Someone call an ambulance!"

"I-I…" Yet all Kazutora could do was stare down at his blood-stained hands. Blood, on his hands. Was it his blood? Mikey’s blood? Your blood? He stabbed you with his own two hands. You.

"Ambulance is on its way!" Someone called back, and the carpark lot erupted into mumbles and mutters. Was this it? The end of Valhalla vs Toman? Who won?

“Don’t you dare let go, Takemichi.” Baji cursed, quickly stripping off his jacket and tearing a long strip off his shirt, before dropping to his knees, shaky hands ever so delicately peeling back your stained shirt, wrapping the makeshift bandage around the knife and the wound. The blood that oozed out even as he worked was all but taunting his efforts."Bring some shade over!"

But it seemed your efforts to fight your heavy eyelids were in vain, your consciousness fading for what seemed like a mere second to you, everything going black before you blinked, the crunch of a boot into bone forcing your exhausted eyes to open once more. The sun was still right above you where it had been all this while, yet it seemed that time had ticked on in the almost ten minutes you were out.

“I thought we were keeping this between us, Kazutora!” Came the roar from an all too familiar voice, as yet another crunch filled the otherwise tranquil surrounding, where out of your sight, Mikey’s fist smashed full force into Kazutora’s face. How dare he drag you into their world? The unasked question was loud and clear to the pale faced Toman members who knew you only by the rumours that swirled when the captains weren’t present, and even clearer to the almost ghostly white Chifuyu, who by now almost seemed like he was about to hurl.

“Mikey, stop.” Your weak voice barely reached the ears of the now frantic Baji, who only paused to take in your now half open eyes, even as Draken’s head seemed to bob in and out of the corner of your hazy sight.

Metal pipe flashing through the air, the few shiny surfaces left twinkling in the sun before smashing hard into Mikey, the red of the blood that splattered onto both boys’ faces - it was still all too clear, all too fresh in your mind and in the black behind your eyelids. If never having to see your cherished friends beat each other to a pulp meant getting up, meant swallowing the screaming pain in your abdomen, you would do it. And you tried, your lead-weighted hands reaching out to turn yourself on your side, grasping at the nothingness beside you as you all but forced your legs to move.

“Mikey -”

“No! You have to stay down!” Hands, familiar hands, rougher than they have ever been with you, steadied you even as your legs were knocked back down, but that seemed to do the trick, instantly catching the Toman President’s attention, stopping him mid-punch.

“Mikey, it wasn’t Kazutora.”

Footsteps, heavy steps in your direction that grew louder and louder as they approached. And then his face, one too hard to miss even through the haze, appeared overhead in your view - Mikey's blank stare that hid his anger and worry so well, his concern clear to you as he trailed one hand down your face, before turning his attention to the knife still buried in your flesh. In that instance, you knew that this petty fight was over and done - if Mikey was here with you, mission accomplished, you mused, letting out one shaky breath.

You knew what he wanted to ask. Then who did it? Who told you? Who dared drag you into this world, without their permission? Yet all you did was allow your gaze to slide almost meekly away. You never lied to your precious friends, and if you couldn't tell the truth, it was better not to answer.

There was no breeze that broke the suddenly stilled lot, the fighting having long died down since your name screamed above and across the clash, though the sun was uncaring, the heat and humidity continuing to steadily build across the dirt-covered floor upon which you were now rested.

The scream of the sirens only grew louder and louder as the crowd that had once gathered for a fight now began to disperse, with no particular party interested in being caught up in the mess that was bound to follow.

“Mikey.” Turning back at the call of his name, Kazutora was now locked in a ninety degrees bow, hands locked behind his back.

"I'll stay here," He mumbled, gaze turned down towards the ground. "I'll take responsibility. For Shinchiro’s death. For everything." For dragging you into this entire debacle.

“Fine.” Was all he received in response, and one last sweep of that signature long black Toman coat, the Toman founder in his white jacket found himself alone with you, still resting on the ground.

"You'll be okay, Kazutora." Mumbling, you shifted slightly as your friend pulled your head into his lap, trying to find a comfortable spot even as the shriek of the ambulance sirens drew nearer. "I'll be okay too, so don't worry alright?"

Even as you laid bleeding out on the filthy floor, your breath starting to come in gasps instead of the even ones you had been taking just five minutes earlier, it was clear that your thoughts were still completely on him.

“Over here, this way!”

Kazutora’s head shot up instantly from where he had been fixated, his fingers tangled in your locks, the shadow he casted over you providing a much needed relief from the sun - that was a voice he recognised, a voice that he knew.

“Hurry!” Another familiar voice cut through the silence. Baji and Draken, his mind finally registered. They were coming back. And for the once time in what seemed like forever, hope blossomed in his chest, a drop of water on a parched land. If they were back, it meant only one thing.

"Kazutora," Your mumble reached him even with the sudden hustle and bustle that sprouted up around the two of you, even as you were rushed past him in a stretcher and out of the now deserted lot, lacking the strength to keep both eyes open, still reaching out weakly for your friend.

Forgiveness.

His yellow, stunned eyes were all but locked on your fading visage, the boy failed to notice that there was a second stretcher, and that the medics were speaking to him. Still trapped in his own head, the thought of being forgiven still an almost unthinkable thought with your blood on his hands and jacket, the words spoken at him were nothing more than a buzz in his ears, the poking and prodding a minor annoyance. But his spire was immediately broken when he was picked up by his collar, to the horror of the awaiting medics, and all but carelessly thrown into the awaiting stretcher by Draken, his bored gaze having turned on his old friend once you had been safely strapped in. "Kazutora, you need treatment too."

“Baji, you go with him.”

Now with you being rushed to hospital, the sirens signalling the blaze of the ambulances through the city and towards the hospital, as much as Mikey yearned to be with you, you were in good hands, with both Baji and Draken now by your side. And the Toman President could turn his attention to a more urgent matter, now a fair distance away from where everything had gone down.

“Chifuyu, Takemitchy.”

Both boys froze mid step.

“A word.”

Random and Not So Random thoughts while watching Bridgerton: Season 1, Episode 4

Oh they're at court.

Also she's not a commoner. She's the daughter of a Viscount.

Another Daphne brag moment, but homegirl really got the juice. She's bagging mfs over hand holding and dancing.

Violet dgaf. She's hungry now, damn it!

Oh he's buying jewelry already.

Ooooooh the way she imagines the Duke behind her. Honey yes. That scene was hot.

Too bad she came back to reality.

Hyacinth is my spirit animal.

Lady Whistledown ain't ready to write Simon off yet. She's waiting on the Dukes Hail Mary.

Shit. So am I.

I have never seen someone look so depressed in such an exquisite piece of jewelry. It's like the necklace chokes her. Testament to the acting and script for that though. It truly represents a trap.

Awww Simon is wearing that heavy bag out. I would say poor Simon, but he made this damn bed.

I love Alice and Will. They are the kind of wholesome love I need to keep my heart steady watching this damn show. She's his rider and I love it.

Alice roasting Simon over Daphne. Get. Yo. Girl. Mane.

I always cringe when a man tells a woman to smile.

Poor Marina. Portia is determined to find her the oldest mf. She's playing smart though.

Those damn dingbat sisters.

Maybe Penelope does care.

Well at least the least mean sister got a caller. They're awkward/cute.

Eloise girl, I love feathers in hair. Your one dimensional preaching is wearing me out again.

A boxing match date? I'd be down.

The prince legit seems like a nice guy. And Daphne is trying....but she's CLEARLY hung up on Simon.

Oh look Simon's losing focus on his friend because he's too focused on Daphne and the prince.

Ok mf! Take that shit off and roll them sleeves up. It turns me on too sis!

Oh look at the sweet family talk with the prince. Girl he'd give you any and everything you wanted.

But you and the Duke are just ATE TF UP about each other!

Mondrich for the win!!!!

Oh Benny. You've got a new friend. But what kind of friend? Give me more of this.

Well Anthony is smug and pleased as punch. Simons courtship of Daphne has ended. She has her perfect suitor. And Simon is leaving England to go rake and fuckboy about.

Though Simons hard slammed shot when the prince approached says he's anything but happy.

Violet always worries about the wrong shit.

Hyacinth always wants to know the good shit.

Be Hyacinth.

Oh fuck the prince is ready to propose. That shit escalated quickly.

SIMON!!!!!! Now would be a good time for that Hail Mary.

Good job Anthony. Way to realize that the women in your life have agency over THEMSELVES.

Violet always beating around the damn bush.....but she is still 100% #teamduke

Aw Daphne you're gonna break down snitching on yourself.

If it wasn't real with Simon you wouldn't be so ate up about it, and you would be rocking tf out of that necklace from the prince instead of crying.

There's a reason for the black in her outfit. For Daphne, who is normally all pastel blues, that black is her mourning. It's her 'attempting' to put to death her feelings for the Duke. And also I think mourning the loss if the bond they shared. Maybe I'm reading too much into it. But this seems like a very deliberate show with it's details.

Danbury ripping Simon open before she sends him off. Big energy.

She knows everything you thick headed mf. Why won't you just listen?! You letting your rank ass daddy live rent free in your soul.

He's so jaded it hurts.

Ayyyye this Trowbridge party looks like the real deal.

Oh gawd. Marina and the old man.

Mr. Finch and the cheese frock. Jesus who wrote this. I love it

Cressida you have been Daphnes biggest hater all season and now you're mad that she's with the prince. He was never gonna marry yo basket headed ass anyway.

Oooooh shit Simon sees the 'intimate painting' and has 2nd thoughts.

Go. Get. Yo. Girl.......Bitch.

Ooooh Benny's at the new homies spot and it's lit!

Naked models, easels, mingling between the classes. Yes indeed.

2nd sons having fun. Hell yes.

Damn Even Sienna at the ball...as a performer of course.

And Anthony looking tongue tied.

Violet....you need to chill. There take another sip.

Portia trying to shade Lady Trowbridges style is comical. Both of y'all bitches gaudy as hell.

Oh shit Phillipa lost her man.

Wtf is wrong with Lord Featherington?

And wtf are you doing Eloise?

Ayyye she just let her have it. You think servants have the time to be Lady Whistledown? I'm dead.

"Get out."

Ok Penelope with your saucy ass.

Well fuck! You just pushed him right to Marina. You played yourself boo.

Oooh the prince is about to shoot the big shot and Daphne keeps running away.

She done spotted Simon. Its over.

Fuck off Cressida.

Rip that mf necklace off girl.

Simon followed her ass outside.

"Miss Bridgerton." Motherfucker, call her Daphne.

"I came to say goodbye." Man. Go to hell.

Daphne serving those barbs. You not ready to keep playing with her.

Damn, Simon. If you're not gonna give her what she wants, get out the way.

Tell his ass sis.....even if you don't believe it yourself.

Really Simon? You stand there quiet as a mf church mouse whiles she's pleading with you to say something.....then you take off after her once she walks away from your shit

I swear.....men.....yall mfs really do shit like this. Speak up! Or...LET. ME. GO.

She's really cracking on his ass and I'm here for it....but wtf us up with his "I forbid you." Who tf are you to me? I'm glad she ain't playing with his ass.

Ooooh he called her Daphne and grabbed her.

Oh honey this is what fulfillment feels like, isn't it?

He's definitely fulFILLing her all the way up!

Oh shit Anthony caught them.

At least he finally landed some decent blows on Simon.

This RAKE ass mf still won't marry her.

Oh Simon.....for once.....Anthony is in the right and you the wrong. You are really about to die over your fucking daddy issues. Boy bye. Again.

Poor Daphne.

Wait, how did Cressida know she was in the garden?

That can't be good.

At least Benny is having a good time.

Dearest Portia, when you go looking for shit, it usually falls in your lap.

Marina keeps carrying on about Colin and Penelope is crushed.....or scheming....or both.

Aww Penelope let her hurt feelings cause a fight with her bestie. Her jealousy is seething.

Daphne still out here having to educate Anthony....though I get the need for the duel. And he still thinks he's running something.

Ooooh this is why they brought up 2nd sons.....Anthony is prepping Benny to take over. Well Benny, at least you had one good night out.

Colin caring for drunk Violet is parenting goals one day.

Oh great, now yall wanna bring Colin into the shit.

Simon raiding Wills spot for booze was so uneccesarily loud.

So Berbrooke alludes to her dishonor and Simon caves his fucking head in. Simon legit dishonors her and he's just like ,"Kay, guess I'll go get shot now." Someone get this man some therapy.

Oh great Anthony is back at Siennas door with more of his bullshit. Girl. Close that door.

No, not after you've let him in and climbed his torso. I guess y'all fuckin again.

He lost all the money and now he's fucked up.

Her face while he cried, is literally the face of every woman sick of a mediocre man's shit.

Oooh now they're all riding off into battle like the fucking idiots they are.

Colin is so pure.

I knew that Cressida shit would come back.

Well at least Anthony was willing to care for Sienna in his death....but damn mf, treat me right while WE'RE here.

Oh the dramatics of drawing a gun.

Nobody is here for Simon's weak ass apologies and I'm okay with that.

Hurry hurry Daphne.

Daphne down....but she's alright.

Call them idiots just like they are.

Simon still being a hoe about this shit. You really about let her be ostracized because you're a fuck boy.

Ultimate fuck boy line...I can't be with you because I love you too much. Fucking hell.

They do obviously love each other though.

Hold up.......you CAN NEVER, or WILL NEVER give her children. Don't play this like you have a reproductive issue.

So your reason for not marrying her is that you "can never" give her children and you know that's what her heart desires.

You playing with fire, Simon.

I wonder how much shit I let slide with his character just because he's portrayed so well by the phenomenal Regé-Jean Page.

No, I do love Simon's damaged ass. He just makes me so mad.

So the duel resumes......or not.

Daphne said, "Fuck them kids, give me my husband." Or something like that.

Well. This us an uncomfortable arrangement even though both of these idiots are in love.

Simon's evasion will most certainly come back to bite him in the ass.

But I'll be here with my popcorn and tissue, rooting for these cool kids to make it!

THOTS ON SHADOW AND BONE

Hello everyone! it is I, Trice, and i come with my thoughts on the Shadow and Bone show cause ive got many

I'm gonna divide this in what i liked, what i disliked, and what i think could have been better but didn't really bother me. Feel free to send your opinions too!

As a whole, I really liked the show and I think it's a great adaptation that both fans and newcomers will enjoy. It's super well done! and every episode had me glued to the tv even though I knew what was going to happen.

Beware this is long

To start,

What i liked

Mal and Alina

I never really liked Mal in the books, mainly cause he had like, nothing going on for him, and not having his pov made him no favors whatsoever. Alina's perception of him was everychanging, two factors that didn't make him unlikeable necessarily, but that made me not want to read about him. In the show he's way more likeable and even though he still doesn't have a lot going on for him, you can see that he's always trying to protect alina, and you also see a bit of his demeanor through Archie's acting. I think he made a great job at portraying him. And Alina! Alina who in the books was essentially a y/n sort of character (although she did get better over time), her character, likes, dislikes, her DRIVE was incredibly portrayed in the show. Also Jessie (loml, marry me) and Archie have incredible chemistry together and they sold their yearning SO WELL (and so did the kid actors portraying them as children oh my GOD)...yall...i cried when they held hands. My favourite scene was definitely when Alina took care of Mal's wounds (a favorite trope of mine). And the HURT in their eyes whenever they thought the other was in danger....i saw the show dubbed but I'm sure their voices made it beyond incredible as well, their face acting was just on. point. Overall the show rEALLY makes me root for them both individually and together which is something the books didn't manage to do.

The Darkling

AAAAA i really enjoyed the Darkling omg, incredible charisma, Ben does such a great job (and so did his voice actor in Spanish oh my GOD). His acting was just as I imagined it in the books and i loved how he could be as sweet and mysterious as he could be menacing. In fact! i liked him more than i did in the book, and i think it was a great choice to make him more human. I'm not sure if this was Ben or the writing, but i could really see his yearning for an equal, for Alina, his loneliness and his thirst for power and control too. Great love interest, even greater villain. And his wardrobe was phenomenal. I also really liked how they implied that The Darkling was a name given by other people, it was very believable that people would call someone who literally controls shade something akin to "son of the dark" or something of the sort, instead of it being a name he gives himself or his job title (both if which are incredibly pathetic and cringy to think about).

Jesper

No comments. He was just great. I love Kit.

Nina

Omg Danielle did SUCH a great job at portraying Nina, it's exactly how i imagined her in Six of Crows.

Helnik

THE. YEARNING. THE. CHEMISTRY. I didn't love their scenes at the boat but once that was over I was practically screaming at the screen to jUST KISS ALREADY. Calahan and Daniell have such good chemistry together and the few changes they made only served the story better. I did wish they had development over more time cause Matthias' change of mind felt too quick, but i get why they had to rush. Because of how good their chemistry was, their fallout also was incredibly painful.

Inej's fear of the Menagerie and her morals

Amita's portrayal of Inej's hurt, devotion and her refusal to kill (and later hurt cause she has killed) is incredibly subtle but so SO effective. She's so talented really and truly sold Inej's feelings throughout the show.

VFX

Man.....the fold, the volcra, the grisha powers.....kudos to the animators and overall artistic team cause they were incredible. Also seeing the different title animations in each episode was such a tiny detail that made me so excited and they all looked so good.

Ketterdam

Again, kudos to the artistic team, everything about Ketterdam felt so alive (and weirdly moist), truly sold a kind of aesthetic and life that is so characteristic if the Barrel, even when i didn't imagine it that way in the books.

David

He appeared like, twice, and both times were so cute and charming I can't wait to see more of him both on his own and with Genya.

The Wardrobe

So, at first i hated the keftas. I thought the looked tacky and costume, but when you see them on screen they're just perfect (although i have to say the patterns on some of the keftas were kind of...cheap looking? and the training keftas were just kinda boring. My favourite was the Darkling's. Aside from that, i really liked Kaz's and inej's clothes too. Very distinctive and recognizable (although it was kind of weird seeing Inej in teal instead of purple lmao).

And the queen's dresses. Chefs kiss.

It's...so cheesy (affectionate)

The whole show felt like the kind of movies I would watch as a kid like Harry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean. The writing was stylized enough to make it incredibly dramatic and overall there was just so much heart behind all of it. Definetely a show to watch again and again and feel all of it, cause that's what it being so cheesy managed, to make me actually feel for it. It feels like something to watch on a rainy afternoon after a bad day....it's great okay i really enjoyed it, even (specially) the most unbelievable parts of it. And here's the thing, it's something that i think a lot of newer tv and film have lost, so this is good.

What i didn't like

Zoya

Mostly cause of the writing. Originally, in the first book, i didn't like her, neither as a character (stereotypical mean girl with no other motivation than to bang the love interests....all three of them....what's new i still think it's an incredibly sexist trope) or a person (hey at least this was intentional), but over time i grew to LOVE her (mean girl turns out to have a good heart and actually respects the mc and decides to fight alongside her cause it's what's right, without necessarily liking her or giving up her character??? AND she has strong motivations??? now THAT'S new). In the show, i hoped they would keep her mean girl nature while foreshadowing her depth, but all they did was turn her into a petty seductress with barely any screentime, and that only makes her not even a bad antagonist but just a boring character to watch. Not only that but they took away a big part of her character that needed to be developed in the next books. I wanted to watch her rivalry with Alina, her unjustified venomous tongue too, I wanted to be entertained by her and I wasn't. This was also a problem cause when she finally changed teams, and when she hugged Alina, it was incredibly unsatisfying, it would have had a way stronger effect if we had seen her being Ruthless Zoya with a big ambition. I also didn't like how we were told that she didn't like alina, or that she had a family, instead of it being shown on screen. Just from the show, all i can tell you about her is that she likes to bang people and she has a good moral code i guess. Yall, I'm so petty about this.

Kaz

So, I didn't hate him, in fact i think I would have enjoyed him if I hadn't read the books first, cause the two things that bother me about him were two essential characteristics of him in the books. FIrstly, he seems so strained, instead of the seemingly laid back, almost chill looking (even though we know he's not chill at all) Kaz we see in the books, the Kaz that always knows something that you don't. Show Kaz doesn't seem to always be in control, to always have the last word, the last laugh. Instead he seems strained, all the damn time. And I think this is mainly a writing and directing issue. And he also seems weak, something Book Kaz would never do. This is also an issue cause because he doesn't have the same presence he has in the books, the times where he is weak, don't seem as effective. Sure, Pekka Rollins has essentially reduced him and humiliated him, but I haven't seen enough of Kaz being actually dangerous for this to be shocking and for Pekka to seem even more hateable (and, i really liked Pekka, loved him as an antagonist more than i did in the books). Idk, Kaz was so charismatic and just fun and engaging to read in the books that his portrayal in the show felt lacking.

Alina's power's VFX

The little suns were cute and all but the light coming from within her was just ugly I'm sorry.

SFX

A lot of the sound design was just too stylized for the tone of the show i think. I particularly remember the sound of Mal's punches....what's that about.

What i think could have been better, but didn't particularly dislike

The Crows' storyline

And i think part of this is a consequence of Kaz not being as witty as he was in the books. Where's the incredibly complicated heist moves? the even more unbelievable C and D plans when something goes wrong? I didn't like that them getting Alina was essentially just luck, cause i didn't see enough of them being smart and quick on their feet. I also think it was unnecessary to have their storyline mixed with Alina's, i would have enjoyed watching a different heist, maybe in Ravka as well, and them incidentally crossing paths with Alina, more than i liked this storyline. ironically enough, the heist was the part i was least interested in

Genya and Alina

I just feel like her relationship with Alina wasn't strong enough, and i think it's because the show tried to make us believe they were much closer than they were without spending the necessary time in them.

Overall, I really really enjoyed the show, i will be watching it again (particularly cause i want to watch it in English) and i cannot wait for the second season omg (although i have to say, I'm scared for Nikolai)

I think that's all! I would also love to read yall's opinions and have a conversation.

I've seen you reblog a few things about Obey me? Uh can you do headcanons for Levi with an MC who is lesbian, a weeb, and kpoppie? If not its okay! 👉👈

i love obey me 👉👈

Leviathan with a smol weeb and kpoppie lesbian

Okay... you were wearing kpop merch when you get to Devildom

It was Twice merch so you were wearing white and pink to go with it

Asmo loved that

Levi was the first to notice that it was a kpop groups seeing as Twice is his bias group like do you see him stanning any other group??

He straight up grabs you when you and Mammon get home and says

"You like kpop right??"

"uh.. yea?" *cue confusion*

"Do you like anime??"

*Oh* "Yea!!"

He will run to his room dragging you behind him

Yall stay up all night talking about any and all anime

when he said he never watch Yuri On Ice?

Yall binged it

12 episodes of 𝓶𝓾𝓪𝓱

he was kinda shook when Victor and Yuri kissed

and you were like

"Ah yeaaaaaa im proud to be gay like them"

He went b l a n k

"What?"

"Oh.. I'm lesbian"

Bitch you fucking L A U G H E D at the face he pulled

i wanna take the piss outta mr enter’s response to the response of his rise review cause WOW i can only laugh at it fglkfjlkgf Screencaps are pretty small so here’s the original twitter post for the better quality and the whole post as well

whoa whoa WHOA GUYS!! Things are getting EDGY in here!! Watch out!!

Why does he make it out that rise’s premiere was a fucking train disaster?? The first ep serves as a big set up for the season (as any show premiere would?) so rise introduces: their version of these characters, yokai, the yokai underground/hidden city, how the boys get their mystic weapons, the main antagonist, and finally the set up for the plot in which draxum’s laboratory explodes and the oozequitos are set free. Yes the pacing was too fast since rise had a lot of concepts to introduce us to, but given that these are re-imagined characters that have had 30 years of lore behind them; Rise makes sure to let the viewer know most of the new changes in the first episode so when we go through the other episode we aren’t thrown for a loop or get confused. The only thing I can find legitimately bad about this episode is that the bodyguard yokais arent ever seen again, nor do they establish who they are or how they relate to mayhem or draxum.

Does mr youtube man ever say this is the problem though? No lmaoo, he just says its bad and mediocre with no explanation. Like if he personally found it boring or unable to keep him watching then that’s his problem. He doesn’t need to ‘justify’ his feelings by saying the premiere was so bad it killed his dog or some shit. Like my god, really, what was so bad about it? That things are different now? That it doesn’t carter specifically to your tastes? Grow up.

Okay. This paragraph is *chef kiss.* First he thinks Splinter calling his son a nickname and saying he’s funny is one of the 7 deadly sins - BUT HE THEN GOES TO COMPARE SPLINTER TO PETER GRIFFIN DLFKJDFLKDJFLDKGJFLD I HOLLERED YALL FKDLFKD. Lastly he contradicts himself by saying Splinter’s character needed foreshadowing for someone as great and cool as him to ever care about a stinky rat man 🤢 When the show fucking bashes it’s viewers over the head that Splinter has more going on to him. Not only the constant parallels and hints of splints being lou jitsu, but the first episode shows us that splinter has a portal device to the hidden city. Cause yeah - any character that doesn’t have a shady past is just carrying around a mystical thing like that. Yup! It was impossible to see any foreshadowing. I gotta laugh.

Dude called rise less action packed than it’s predecessors... Alright get the Ls in chat ready for him. Rise is more lighthearted and comedy based, but it still has action in every single episode. Just because the boys aren’t constantly fighting bad guys doesn’t mean theres no action. Like the ep he mentions, Down With The Sickness, just because there isn’t a full on battle doesn’t mean the action in that ep doesn’t count as action?? Anyone, even someone like him, can figure that out.

Oh my god, I have never seen anyone act like such a brat! Can’t even admit the animation is good without instantly backhanding it. He’s so scared to give this show a compliment its fucking hilarious dlfkjdlfk Also, secondary animation is stiff? I’d like to see that, cause I haven’t. There’s whole ass accounts that showcases rise’s non-action scenes and the animation still goes out of way to be flashy and visually appealing. But again, this guy only watched less than 5% of the series so of course he doesn’t know what he’s talking about 🙄

The guy can’t even watch his own videos to get his info right, makes so much sense. Also Raph’s and Mikey’s weapons are the weapons the respective characters used to train in the original comics, the hell do you mean “it’s a great disrespect to the franchise”?

I like how he hints at revisiting the review. You’ve done enough, keep away from the show for god’s sake.

Also, for the perfect summary of his childish attitude - he compares rise’s fanbase to the time steven universe fans drove an artist to suicide just because we said his claims were wrongly informed and that he didn’t do his job right, (both of which are true). We were so mean to him we must of made someone kill themselves before, yeah that’s a totally normal conclusion to come to after being fairly criticized. My god.

The whole thing is astounding to me honestly. I know I just wrote a college thesis about this, but really, this guy doesn’t deserve any more effort. He has little to no ground to say anything about the show cause he didn’t watch the series and he didn’t care about giving the show a fair chance in the first place. Finally, given this response he clearly can’t handle this maturely, nor could he evaluate the critiques people have said about it and instead doubles down to keep this edgy look - cause that’s more important than being a respected and credible reviewer, apparently.

#long post #suicide mention #tw suicide #almtxt #rottmnt

I’M SORRY I KNOW KIPO AND THE AGE OF WONDERBEASTS HAS ONLY BEEN OUT LIKE A WEEK OR SO BUT WHERE IS SEASON 2 (mild spoilers)

That ending...THAT ENDING THE CLIFFHANGER THE BADASSERY YALL I NEED ANOTHER SEASON

So apparently there’s a rumour the people running the show went rogue and had a character just straight up (heh) say “I’m gay” and apparently you can’t do that and in animation it has to be all coded and implied... as a result Netflix and Dreamworks have done like no promotion and are trying to let it die...

(AGAIN: rumour rumour rumour but just in case!!!)

BUT WE CANNOT LET THAT HAPPEN ESPECIALLY FOR SUCH A STUPID REASON

lemme just reiterate... there is an upfront, canonical, nothing implied, nothing coded, fully realised gay character, who also is a person of colour...who literally said “I’m gay” IN THE SHOW...AND HAS A POTENTIAL LOVE STORYLINE... and neither Netflix nor Dreamworks are capitalising on what an incredible milestone that is because when has an animated children’s show EVER!!

To further bolster how amazing this show is: all the main human characters are people of colour:

Kipo: half Asian, half African-descent

Wolf/Jolene/Wolfatha Christie the Fourth: African-descent

Benson: possibly African-descent/unknown as yet ethnic background

Some other fun things to note

It’s got the worldbuilding and character building sense of ATLA: an already established world that you are slowly learning the rules for, and how every character and groups (ATLA: nations, KIPO: packs or “species”) interact with each other... its bright and colourful but set in a post-apocalyptic future where mutated animals called mutes rule the earth while humans are forced to live underground or struggle to survive as surface people... you can sense how the individual communities have developed lives without each other... so when someone fresh like Kipo is thrust into the world, there’s a glow of amazement that people who have lived on the surface (like Wolf and Benson) have kinda lost touch with, and watching that glow peel back with each episode is very reminiscent of Jurassic Park... you start with the amazement that WOW LOOK GIANT BUNNIES WITH A MILLION EARS but oh wait no very dangerous okay time to get outta here... like even in the first ten minutes, Kipo starts singing a song about her feelings and being alone in a scary place and you think ohhhh it’s that kind of show and settle in for a song BUT THEN SHE GETS CUT OFF IMMEDIATELY BY A MUTATED BIRD TRYING TO KILL HER and you’re like oh shit did not see that coming

like Aang who was thrust into a completely different world after coming out of the ice, Kipo is forced to the surface world after living her whole life underground AND BOTH OF THEM approach this world with curiosity and amazement and enthusiasm... both of them are confronted by the terrors and stark realities of this new world however, but that doesn’t stop them from trying to see the best in everything and everyone (albeit somewhat recklessly)... and to insert another animated show for reference, Kipo also has a Steven Universe vibe about her in that she quite successfully convinces a lot of people who would otherwise consider harming her/leaving her to help her out... through the power of friendship and song! Even while she’s got all sorts of crap going on with her... Very Steven...

Then you have your hardy, tough as nails character like Wolf, who serves as a perfect foil to the star-dazzled nerd that is Kipo Oak... she’s suspicious, withdrawn, bitter and angry who shows signs of awkwardness and social anxiety from raising herself without other humans...and lemme tell ya, her backstory... OOF... very Toph Beifong and some Lapis Lazuli in there...

Benson and Dave still find the lighter side of life but are no less skilled at taking care of themselves than Wolf... and they act like the comedic foils to the ever serious Wolf and the reckless Kipo, acting as a middle ground as surface survivors who can still enjoy themselves...

If I were to use other recent animated shows: General worldbuilding and main character vibe is very reminiscent of ATLA... the simplistic storytelling set within a more epic story, and songs they sing is very Steven Universe... I suppose stylistically, very Adventure Time...

Idk what else to say I lost my train of thought but y’all should go watch Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts on Netflix and then someone hit me up so we can talk about it because I know we got a fandom and I want a season 2!!! AND I WANT TO KNOW WOLF’S REAL NAME. AND TO GET BENSON THE BOYFRIEND HE DESERVES!!!!

new episode. new liveblog. new episode. new liveblog.

Giyuu in the cold-open scene: -does absolutely nothing- me: Oh. Oh fantastic. I’m so glad you’re back. Oh I’d die for you.

The outfits are so goddamn pretty in this show. And Shinobu’s is the new reigning champion of “fuck thats pretty”

Spider-Dad fucking skipped Inosuke across the water. 3 times. like a rock

Yeah uh.... Inosuke acknowledging he’s injured must mean he’s truly fucked.

Inosuke is running away while waist-deep in the water. That’s like the HARDEST way to run away. Get on land with Tanjiro you moron.

Team Rocket Tanjiro is blasting off again

Like Spider-Dad just home-runned him outta the fucking forest. With a cut-down tree. The Kimetsu fight dynamics are fucking wild.

Tanjiro: “Inosuke, don’t die until I get back!” Inosuke: “...” Inosuke: “...” Inosuke: “Wonder why Kentaro wants me to die once he gets back.”

me prior to this episode: “I think that Riu spider kid is the actual member of the twelve demon moons.” Tanjiro: “Be careful Inosuke that Spider Dad is the Twelve Moon Member!” me, genre-savvy and aware of what misdirection is: “Okay so Riu is DEFINITELY the Twelve Moon member”

Yall I’m still wildly emo about Zenitsu being left to just... die alone... doing his best to resist the poison but like, fuck what can he even do beyond just lie there and hope? I’m really emo. Last episode fucked me up.

FUCK that’s a pretty aesthetic.

They’re really doing the MOST with that full moon. Like the full moon serves the functional purpose of letting the MadLad trio actually see and fight at night in the forest. But aesthetically? the most.

Shinobu: Yoo hoo? Hey buddy u fucking ded?

Kentaro’s out here pissing off powerful demons cuz he can’t keep his opinions about family to himself.

Generic looking background character: -appears- me: Oh he’s absolutely dead.

Tanjiro, seeing his 8th Extremely Traumatizing thing of the day: “I need a new job”

The way they’re playing with color to make Riu balls-to-the-walls terrifying is just... really good.

The slow and staggered creep of the camera, the music swell, the colors. Its all really good.

Inosuke:

Inosuke’s brain:

THE FUCKING POP NOISE WHEN INOSUKE REALIZES “hey wait why the FUCK am i running away?”

THEY FUCKING GAVE HIM DENSER LINES. AND FROZE HIM IN PLACE. FUCKING POP. FUCKING NYOOM.

Inosuke, using his one sword to hammer in his other sword: I beat a mother-fucker with another mother-fucker

THE MOST. SELF-AWARE DUMBASS. NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR IDIOCY THAT KNOWS ITS OWN IDIOCY.

He can’t READ.

Inosuke has two swords.

Tanjiro vs. Riu set to Undertale’s ‘Spider Dance’ track

“What doesn’t hurt, doesn’t hurt!” Inosuke... honey.... that’s not healthy...

Fun fact that was revealed earlier in the manga but not translated to the anime: Inosuke’s ability to ‘sense’ out the location of enemies is due to his superior sense of touch. Complementing Tanjiro’s sense of smell, and Zenitsu’s hearing.

the blood smudge on Inosuke’s boar mask looks kinda like the typical anime blush marks, and when we only see his left half of his face it throws me every time

Inosuke literally every moment since his introduction: I’m the best! No one can beat me! I’ll fight anyone! I’ll fight you! I’ll fight your dog! I’ll fight myself! I’m never injured and I’m never hurt and I’m never tired! Anything Monjiro can do I can do even better! There’s no way to beat me in a fight and I’ll never surrender! Inosuke... in this episode:

I’m fucked up all over again...

First Zenitsu now Inosuke

And with Zenitsu it’s at least... expected of his character to want to give up. Not Inosuke. Never Inosuke. That’s fucked up. I’m fucked up.

Again the color palette. This time the desaturation is what just... drives home the feeling of hopelessness. It’s so good.

Tanjiro: “Whatever you do, don’t die Inosuke” me, clutching my heart: “fuck”

Hey y’know extra sad how all the people who have ever cared about Inosuke, who flash before his eyes while he’s dying, are people we’ve met in series. Inosuke really went 15 straight years of his life with no one ever giving a damn about him.

Inosuke: “No... actually, I WONT lose! I wont! come at me monster!” Spider-dad: -punts Inosuke like a pinball across three separate trees-

It’s like the rock-skipping-across-water but now so much more painful.

He’s literally.... crushing Inosuke’s skull... in order to kill him... Inosuke’s been training specifically to toughen his head... Because he’s mad Tanjiro was able to knock him out with a headbutt... Inosuke might survive SPECIFICALLY because of that dumb grudge... I’m emo again.

His big pretty green eyes are still... funny.

He’s so so young in this it left me wondering “how does Inosuke remember the name his mother gave him” .... and then i remembered:

His name’s written on his fucking underwear. It’s the only piece of identity his mother left him... Fuck.

This leads me to two conclusions:

1) Inosuke must have transferred his name - despite not even being able to read the words - onto all his clothing since then.

2) He must have, at some point, asked someone who can read to tell him what it says...

Inosuke, moments from death, remembering the image of his mother’s face for the first time: Who... who are you? me, bawling: you’re supposed to be the comic relief.

fuck YES IT’S GIYUU TIME.

Tomioka “Cool guys don’t look at explosions” Giyuu

Inosuke: “I’ve never seen anyone as cool as this guy.” me: “bitch me too, the fuck.”

Please I just want Giyuu to stick around. If anything, as the only real adult. Also because he’s really fucking cool and I have a type.

Inosuke: -attacks Spider-Dad earlier in the ep- Inosuke: -his blades snap- me: :0 Tanjiro: -attacks Riu’s spider thread- Tanjiro: -his blade snaps- me:

<:0 !!!!!!!!

Symphogear, EP.7 (Cont.)

“i have not now, nor ever, liked this creepy ass church elevator.”

“kanade please get out of my head, just because im hungry doesnt mean you have to tell me every time i am”

Hibiki finishes getting a full body X-ray. She’s fine.

“that anime protagonist immunity is really kicking in well!”

“by the way, your wife is here! and she’s looking mighty miffed., as opposed to me, mighty milfed.”

“you dont strike me as a mother figure but ill play along for now”

“i just hope miku’s okay...”

“oh, she’ll be fine! see, i’ve seen these kinds of plots before. big secret revealed, another lover is shown, the victim watches as they’re thoroughly cheated on, and they get to lik-”

“please stop breathing”

Genjuro’s wasting away again in Margaritaville. Looking for some daughter to adopt. SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THERE’S A, WOOOOMAAAAAN TO BLAAAAAAAAAAME, BUT HE KNOWS

XYLOPHONE RIFF

THAT’S IT’S ALL HIS FAULT

XYLOPHONE RIFF

“i hate it when he gets like this. jimmy buffets not a good look for him.”

“for once you and i agree. seeing the commander sulk like this like a middle aged perma-tourist is genuinely miserable”

“hey homies! im back and i brought some bitches! oh, jesus, why does this place smell like mistakes in miami?”

“its me. im sorry. every time i feel like i failed as a dad, my anti-dad energies manifest. imagine every midlife crisis rolled up into a single ball, smacked into the face for eternity. thats the depth of my pain for failing this girl.”

In a moment of positivity, the friendship between Tsubasa and Hibiki is cemented.

> Tsubasa has joined the party.

“FRIENDSHIP!”

“fweindship.”

“uuuuhhhhh... dadship? yeah thats close enough.”

“WE’RE ALL GOOD FRIENDS!”

“ya tiddies are ringing again, better go get it”

Ryoko also points out that Hibiki’s relic is fusing with herself at an alarming rate. This is important to keep in mind.

Meanwhile, at night.

Miku is posing in the motherly “you done fucked up, where have you been young lady” position. A cold scolding is coming.

“.........................hey miku......”

“you can come in. are you worried im gonna bite? you suplexed a car. that shouldn’t be an issue anymore.”

“miku, i.... i wanted to tell you.... but.... the plot wouldn’t let me, miku....”

“should’ve told the plot to fuck off anyway. now you’re gonna live with that. you’re sleeping... on the bottom bunk.”

“b.... b..... b...... b.... b...... bottom bunk...?”

They slept separately that night. God, this is so stupid. All of this is so goddamned stupid. “I’m so mad at you even though you saved my life.” This is just so. AUGH. THIS IS DUMB. KANEKO WRITE BETTER ANGST THAT MAKES SENSE THAT ISN’T THIS.

Meanwhile, far away from this garbage...

Chris, having been evicted from Fine’s McMansion, wanders the streets of mumblemumble aimlessly. Don’t be fooled by her new fancy dress. Basically, she’s a combat-competent hobo.

“no food. no home. no victories. this sucks. whyd you do it, fine? we coulda been great together. but no. ya fired me. now i look like im prancing the red light district with a highly advanced superweapon around my neck.”

“no... hibiki’s to blame. ever since that genderbent little mac showed up to fight me, it’s been all downhill. fine thought me a laughstock because i couldnt take out her oversized boxing gloves, and now she beat me while i had nehushtan. god... i wish i never met that damn hamster faced chubby cheeked nerd.”

“wait, whats that crying”

Chris spies two kids talking to each other, one of them crying. Chris immediately makes an assumption, believing the big bro is bullying his sis.

“hey! stop nicking her lunch money, twerp”

Chris currently is a firm believer of corporeal punishment.

But the sister deflects the blow. Chris can’t even defeat children right now. Truly, this is a record low for her. You know you blew it when even kids are schooling you on basic morality. She then tells the little girl to stop crying, ironically mirroring her brother.

The infamous double T-Pose maneuver. Chris, you might as well get a shovel and start digging your own grave.

“i keep doing bad things badly, and now im doing good things badly... when fine said i was bad... did she just mean im not talented?”

Chris, finally, does a good thing and helps these kids find their parents.

“yeah. hibiki saved a kid when she got her gear. guess what? bam! im saving two! that’s fifty percent more kid per kid saved. take that, weirdo.”

The kids call her out on Chris singing unconsciously, and Chris gets flustered over it. Dawwwwww.

Chris manages to get them to safety to their Dad...

...while brutally lying about it, making Chris look like a predator. There’s a very crushing irony at play here, given who Chris used to serve.

“ugggggggggggggggghhhhhh hes not even gonna payyyyy meeeeeee why the fuck did i dooooo thiiiiiiissssss”

“hey, you know. you kids have a really nice relationship with one another. care to give me tips on how to be an empathetic human being capable of making friends?”

“maybe we’re born with it”

“maybe its maybeline”

“maybeline...”

Meanwhile...

A cold wind blows through Lydian Apartment 69-L. (I don’t actually know if that’s their room number, I just made it up.)

“jesus take the wheel, because i’m jumping out the passenger seat to save this current wreck of a relationship”

“miku please i saved your life, doesnt that count for anything”

“you already killed me the moment you lied. also im taking the bottom bunk so i dont have to see your face coming down the ladder.”

“miku you cant hide in this depression den forever. i know i hurt you and im sorry for it, but please understand i literally couldnt do it. you saw there were punches and violence and stuff... i didnt want you tied to that...”

“what was that? i cant hear your apologies over my incredibly loud snoring. SNOOOOOOORE. SNOOOOOOOORE. SNOOO- fuck, i just swallowed my spit, fuck”

“i hope this cocoon of displeasure you’ve made for yourself lets you erupt into a butterfly of acceptance so i can fly with you again.”

“......thats not fair. you cant say those beautiful metaphors and get away with it. let me be mad... sniff... let me be mad...”

Sadness wafts in the den of lies Hibiki has been forced into.

No music plays. There is only heartbreak, and woe.

In the midst of this pain...

Ryoko loredumps about how the Symphogears work and are immune to the noise on her blog, ‘hornyonmainforscience.org’, her hybrid science journal slash kink zone. It’s mostly a recap with some pretty good soft techno beats in it.

“i made a custom brew of red bull, five hour energy drink, coffee, and cream. i call it gamer girl piss.”

“damn. that’s some good piss.”

She muses about how Hibiki has managed to break the limitations of her Symphogear, making her a totally unique specimen. Wait, where have we heard this before...?

Hey... Ryoko... let’s just... cool it a bit with the Hibiki pictures... come on...

Ryoko touches upon the Custodians and the Curse of Babel. We ain’t touching that shit until later, because that’s another shitfuck box of crazy just ready to jump us in a dark alleyway to rob us of our wits.

Back to Lydian:

“miku whats the answer to the first three multiple choice questions”

“B. A. D.”

“oh, thanks. huh, BAD.”

“yeah. you are.”

“mmm. taste likes dissapointment. just like my life.”

“hey table for two haha get it cause there’s two chairs and miku for the love of god, please, forgive me”

“ive surgically removed my eyes and drew eyelashes over them with sharpie so i dont have to see your bird bangs.”

“thats very rude to both me and my hair. also, wig.”

Even Hibiki’s meal is judging her. Mainly for not eating it. Fucking look at this. God, that looks amazing. Fuck, why did I write this while I was hungry.

“miku you cant do this forever. i might die and youll end up crying on my tombstone going ‘oh god, why, oh god’, and really, i cant live with myself if that happens. mainly because id already be dead by then”

The Anime Janai crew show up to break some icebergs with a goddamn sledgehammer. As the self-aware Gods of this realm, they got very tired of this poor display of angst, and have decided to directly intervene.

Nevermind. They came for her kneecaps, and they most certainly got them.

PLEASE. I’M BEGGING YOU. END THIS GARBAGE PLOT THREAD.

“look. imma lay down the facts. yall are gay. yall are in love. yall are angry for the wrong reasons. its nobody’s fault here but the writer. so please kiss and make up. pretty please.”

“kaneko... you fool... we all know what the original sin is. its your hack writing making this stupidity in the first place. let the pencil go, asshole!”

They bring up the fact that Hibiki isn’t doing her work and wonder if she has a job on the side, which isn’t allowed by the school. Miku gets annoyed and bails, with Hibiki running after her. Unfortunately, Miku runs faster...

“oh god miku not the rooftop whatever you’re thinking just dont do it! please!”

“no. i came here to angst, since this is the Maximum Angst Zone.”

“i..... okay! okay, that’s fair! rooftops are the perfect place to look sad while getting proper air ventilation, thats fine”

It really would have been better played if it was played off that she felt hurt not because of the lie, but because she felt like she could have helped her better having known the truth, and it being a self-loathing sort of scenario for not being there better for her and not fully understanding the risk at play.

But no, instead, we get this.

youtube

Absolutely obliterated. A heart ripped, shredded, and sent to the Shadow Realm.

The episode ends on that note, but has a post credit scene.

Naked. On an old timey telephone. On a computer. Wearing stockings and long gloves.

The main antagonist of the series, everybody.

She’s talking the best English possible to some random-ass American when suddenly bursting through the scene is none other than:

“I WANT WORKERS COMPENSATION YOU BITCH, BEFORE I UNIONIZE YOUR NAKED ASS”

“AND I WANT A GOOD REFERNECE FOR MY FUTURE EMPLOYER, AND ALSO A SEVERANCE PACKAGE SINCE I’M FUCKING HOMELESS”

“i paint my eyelashes with mascara made from the tar of freshly carbonated corpses manufactured through noise, what on gods green earth compels you to think id give a rats ass about you?”

“so you never cared, huh! you’re just a nasty naked hedonist trying to- trying to- what the fuck are you even trying to do?!”

“i want to live the dream every spicy little fossil like me yearns for.”

“I WANNA FUCK GOD!”

“how- what? what? how do you even- what? are you- do you want to be the pope? is that it? does the pope get to fuck god? are you- is this a larping thing? you’ve really been into larping lately! i don’t like this!”

“youve never read the old testament, have you. ass out, pussy bare, hips up and barefoot. that’s how god’s always liked it.”

“now get lost, punk. you tipped off my hand to genjuro and now you being here is going to ruin everything. if you still feel any semblance of devotion, eat one of your own bullets and call it a day.”

“it’s 2012 bitch, if the mayans dont get you, I WILL”

“what god gives, He takes away, and so do i. i built you from the ground up. your relic, which was good for jack shit on you. the nehushtan, which you failed to do anything with except zap a couple hundred people. stop wars? you’re a walking war, waged by me, for me. and your cartridge has just run out of bullets.”

“uh oh! hand’s acting up again! better bail before i send you back to smacktown where all the bitter little shittalkers like you strut around spending their lives being useless as hell.”

“ah fuck, im not dealing with no manos: the hands of fate bullshit again”

“and guess what else i got on motherfucker”

“i see the union efforts have officially been busted. understandable, have a nice day ma’am”

“LEAVE.”

“I’M GOING, I’M GOING”
