#you don’t understand how much I love Ven

[glisten-inthedark]

It kills me that the GA doesn’t fully understand or appreciate the significance of Mike being in the shed with Joyce and Jonathan in s2.

They could have easily had just Joyce, Jonathan, and Hopper in there because Joyce and Jonathan are his family and Hopper is there to ensure their safety and help restrain Will.

But Mike is there.

Despite the fact that Dustin and Lucas are also Will’s friends, Mike is there.

Will was unconscious. He didn’t ask for Mike to be there. Mike was there. Mike wanted to be in there. The writers chose him to be there, with Dustin or Lucas.

They could’ve had a scene where each member of the party recounts their first or most precious memory of Will. It would’ve been beautiful! But other than Will’s family, they only wanted Mike there.

Only Mike.

Once again separating Mike as Will’s most important relationship outside of his family. Once again having Mike show that Will is special to him—their their bond is significant and goes beyond just best friends. Because in s1 Mike insists that Dustin and Lucas are his best friends, which would implied that they’re also Will’s best friends. So why aren’t they in the shed too?

Why just Mike.

Oh, to add more about Mike being in the shed:And to reference this ask you got a while back because I just rewatched the shed scene and thought of this ask: https://www.tumblr.com/glisten-inthedark/766608866928623616/joyce-informs-will-of-his-birthday-and-how-heJoyce says Will drew a rainbow ship when he was little. Which adds to that other anon pointing out that every memory they mention to Will has become significant later (Will coming out and also the rainbow room and how that + the other rainbows peppered throughout the show is likely used to reinforce the queer symbolism & narrative within the show)Well, Mike also brings up a campaign that involved sewers and insects, and iirc there’s a sewer-looking tunnel w/ a ladder like from a manhole in the bts video for s5. He also says that Will cast “fog cloud” and “saved us. You saved the entire party.” And I would love if that’s somehow foreshadowing something Will does involving a smoke bomb/screen in s5And Jonathan playing Should I Stay Or Should I Go foreshadowed the significance of music “reaching a part of the brain words can’t” in season 4Also once again even after they figure out Will is using Morse code, the writers don’t have Mike stay with the others in the house helping to translate/transcribe. He stays in the shed and we see him once again being shown as one of the integral, essential people there to help reach Will. And again, Will didn’t choose for him to be there! This isn’t an example of Will being in love with Mike. This is an example of Mike’s love for Will. (And honestly this whole thing probably helped facilitate Will falling in love with Mike because Mike did so much for him in s2 out of his love and care for Will, how could Will not fall for him??)

Hello! Oh, I think you may have read my mil*ven post? And yes, that's one thing I legit don't get too!

Like, did absolutely no one stop and ask themselves why did the writers choose to have only Mike there when it wasn't a choice Will made?

Because I'm not joking, I was already pretty suspicious of Will and Mike at that point but that scene pretty much solidified for me that there was something there. I'd be always like: OK but why is he the only one there?

So yeah, I'm constantly wondering how no one seems to notice it that he didn't have to be there, so why is he?

[pinkslipxox]

can u write a miko fluff! scenario is ur pick!

yesss hope you like it, mami 💕🫶

——————————————————————————

A flash of lightening cracks through the darkened sky, followed by a roll of thunder that makes you jump. Miko— your girlfriend of three months— comes up from behind you and wraps her tattooed arms around your waist, resting her chin on her shoulder as she watches the storm with you. You instantly relax at her touch, tilting your head up as she plants soft kisses to your neck, something that you’ve come to love ever since the affection between the two of you has grown.

“There’s no way in hell I’m letting you drive home during a rainstorm like this,” Miko murmurs against your skin, a slight edge of determination and concern in her voice.

“What other choice do I have, Vicky?” you giggle softly as lightening flashes across the sky again and you turn your head to look at her.

“You could just spend the night with me,” she replies, her blue eyes shimmering with hope as she tries to hide her smile.

“Where will I sleep, though?” you ask with a chuckle and Miko laughs, although it comes out more like a scoff.

“Conmigo, duh! Yo no te voy a dejar que duermas en la sofá,” Miko replies in her usual playful tone. Then, seeing your hesitant expression, she adds, “Or you can sleep in one of the guest rooms. Wherever you feel comfortable, mi amor.”

You’ve never spent the night at Miko’s house before. And the thought of sharing the same bed with Miko makes your heart flutter. Sure, you two have cuddled on her couch before, but sleeping with her in her bed, in her bedroom, sounds a lot more intimate.

You agree to sleep in Miko’s bedroom and Miko’s lips spread into the biggest smile you’ve ever seen. She leads you to her bedroom by the hand and hands you your favorite hoodie from her along with a pair of shorts. With a kiss to your forehead, she sends you off to change, telling you to feel free to use the bathroom if needed. You can’t help but feel your heart swell at her sweetness and hospitality, she never fails to make you feel so wanted, so welcomed at her house.

After taking a quick shower, you slip on the hoodie and shorts, and help yourself to use the extra toiletries that Miko has from the bottom of the sink. You can’t help the nervous excitement that slowly builds inside you as you put your damp hair in a braid. Miko is the first person you’ve ever been in a relationship with, and although your time together has a couple has been brief, you are completely head over heels for her. She’s been nothing but sweet and understanding about you wanting to take things slow, and you love her so much for that.

“Hey, beautiful,” Miko smiles as you step out of the bathroom. She’s also changed out of her clothing. Her body is clad in a gray sports bra and black shorts that hang just at her hips. God, how you envy her ability to look good in any type of clothing. And those abs…

“Hey,” you reply softly with a smile. Slowly, Miko makes her way over to you, her hands sliding into yours as she looks into your eyes with pure love and adoration in them.

“Cansada, mi amor?” Miko hums, her thumbs rubbing soothingly over your knuckles.

“Un poquito, sí,” you reply and she chuckles.

“Ven,” she gently instructs as she leads you to the bed.

Once you are under the soft covers, Miko joins you. You instinctively move to her side and snuggle up to her. Miko gently guides your head to her chest, your ear pressing just where her heart is, and the soft, rhythmic sound of your girlfriend’s heartbeat begins to lull you to sleep. That is, until, a roar of thunder makes you tense up.

You hate thunder. Ever since you were little, the sound absolutely scares you to death.

“Shhh,” Miko comforts, wrapping her arm tighter around you, her hand cradling the back of your head. “I’m here, mami. Don’t be scared, it’s okay. La tormenta pasará.”

Your chest tightens. Tears begin to swell up in your eyes. This is far from what you’ve imagined your first night with Miko to be like.

Ever so gently, Miko readjusts your position so that your back is pressed against her chest. Her soft, warm voice fills your ears as she sings to you in Spanish, her lips brushing slightly against the soft skin there. You find yourself getting lost in her voice, the storm’s noise slowly fading away as sleep begins to wrap you in it’s gentle embrace.

“Te amo, Y/N,” is the last thing you hear before you fall into a deep sleep, feeling safe and protected in your girlfriend’s arms.

[owl-falls-au-gravity-falls]

Omg I just thought of something, I don’t know how For the Future would play out in this AU, though I would imagine if playing out nearly in the same way, with Collector taking the Hex Squad -Luz away, and the rest of them, including Stan, Dipper, Mabel, and Ford being stuck Collector’s mind game of their worst fears.

Luz will find her way the exact same way, Stan, I see will also be able to break free of it and helps Luz free the others.

Then there’s the whole reforming the Collector, which I see again, Luz doing the same things that she did in the original. Stan also helps a lot in reforming him.

And then of course there’s the confrontation with Belos, though instead of Luz saving the Collector from him, it’s Stan, and so now Luz, Collector, Eda, Mabel, Dipper, AND Ford watches Stan die and transform in to lights, just as Luz did in the OG.

So now, my question for you is, how do you think each of then will take Stan’s “death”

how do you think each of then will take Stan’s “death" in "watching and dreaming"?

IN ENGLISH

Holy crap! I love this question!

When Stan, Luz, Eda and King, along with Ford, Dipper and Mabel are facing Belos, instead of Luz saving the Collector from Belos' attack, it's Stan...

"yo... l-lo siento... lo siento mucho, Ford... Al menos.... Al menos hice algo bien ¿No?"

everyone sees Stan dies and turns into fire and then ashes...

It won't be spontaneous combustion or painful, it will be something quick, it won't hurt, it will be like falling asleep for him...

It will indeed be beautiful to see...

In the end, the ashes land gently on the ground, right in front of the children, Eda, the Collector and Ford...

Ford would be the first to run to where his brother's ashes now lie, desperately screaming to bring him back, trying to find a solution, taking out his journal in search of something that will help him relive it, The guilt quickly destroys him...

"I already lost it once! I can't lose it again! Not after wasting so much time!"

Luz would be terrified to see Stan die, in this AU, she learned thanks to him that she was not bad for making mistakes and that she should choose herself to do the right thing, Seeing the person she loved die was a hard blow for her.

"N-no... No... Dad!"

Eda had barely been able to spend time with Stan, seeing who she wanted as her brother was horrible, she was so... Sad... Angry... She wanted her brother back, and Belos was going to pay for his actions.

"You will pay for what you did! Bring my little brother back!"

Mabel would be in shock, crying and sobbing, Mabel was totally terrified, she loved Stan, he was her role model, now that he was gone, she didn't know what to do anymore.

"Grunkle Stan... Grunkle Stan, come back.... ¡Grunkle Stan!"

Dipper estaría furioso, estaba lleno de ira, quería recuperar a su tío, a su mentor, a quien le prometió que siempre lo escucharía hablar de la magia salvaje

"That's enough! Bring my uncle back, or else!"

Y King... Ooh, King... Pobre e inocente niño... Ver a su padre adoptivo arder en llamas antes de desaparecer le dolió... No va a descansar hasta vengarse de Belos... Ya ni siquiera puede hablar...

The collector didn't understand death until Dipper explained it to him while he began to understand the concepts of friendship and forgiveness, seeing someone like Stan, A person who has lived so many things in such a short time, to fade away as if he were worthless, was enough for his tears to fall for the first time.

"I-I'm sorry... I'm sorry, for everything!"

¿Cómo crees que cada uno de ellos tomará la “muerte” de Stan en “watching and dreamimg”?

EN ESPAÑOL

¡Dios mío! ¡Me encanta esta pregunta!

Cuando Stan, Luz, Eda y King, junto a Ford, Dipper y Mabel estan enfrentando a Belos, en lugar de que Luz salve al Coleccionista del ataque de Belos, es Stan...

"yo... l-lo siento... lo siento mucho, Ford... Al menos.... Al menos hice algo bien ¿No?"

Todos ven a Stan morir y convertirse no en Luz, sino en fuego y luego cenizas...

No será una combustión espontánea ni dolorosa, será algo rápido, no le dolerá, será como quedarse dormido para él...

De hecho será hermoso de ver...

Al final, las cenizas aterrizan suavemente en el suelo, justo frente a los niños, Eda, el Coleccionista y Ford...

Ford sería el primero en correr hasta donde ahora están las cenizas de su hermano, gritando desesperadamente por traerlo de vuelta, tratando de encontrar una solución, sacando su diario en busca de algo que lo ayude a revivirlo, la culpa lo destroza rápidamente...

"¡Ya lo perdi una vez! ¡No puedo perderlo de nuevo! ¡no después de haber perdido tanto tiempo!"

Luz estaria aterrada de ver morir a Stan, en este AU, ella aprendió gracias a el que ella no era mala por cometer errores y que ella debía elegirse para hacer lo correcto, ver morir a la persona que le enseñó tantas cosas buenas fue un golpe duro para ella

"N-no... No... ¡Papá!"

Eda apenas había podido pasar tiempo con Stan, ver a quién quería como su hermano fue horrible, estaba tan... Triste... Enojada... Quería recuperar a su hermano, y Belos iba a pagar por sus acciones

"¡Pagarás por lo que hiciste! ¡Trae a mi hermanito de vuelta!"

Mabel estaría en shock, llorando y sollozando, Mabel estaba totalmente aterrada, quería a Stan, era su ejemplo a seguir, ahora que se había ido, ya no sabía que hacer

"tío Stan... Tío Stan, vuelve.... ¡Tío Stan!"

Dipper estaría furioso, estaba lleno de ira, quería recuperar a su tío, a su mentor, a quien le prometió que siempre lo escucharía hablar de la magia salvaje

"¡Suficiente! ¡Trae de vuelta a mi tío, o verás!

Y King... Ooh, King... Pobre e inocente niño... Ver a su padre adoptivo arder en llamas antes de desaparecer le dolió... No va a descansar hasta vengarse de Belos... Ya ni siquiera puede hablar...

El coleccionista no entendió la muerte hasta que Dipper se lo explico mientras empezó a entender los conceptos de la amistad y el perdón, ver a alguien como Stan, una persona que ha vivido tantas cosas en tan corto tiempo, desvanecer como si no valiera nada, fue suficiente para que sus lágrimas cayeran por primera vez

"l-lo siento... ¡Lo siento, por todo!"

[simplydannie]

I know I've already brought something similar up, but I can just imagine a beaten and bruised Troll!Veneer (who's vulnerable from Floyd abandoning him, getting beaten within an inch of his life, and being separated from Velvet, and emotionally overwhelmed from seeing Floyd again) calling Floyd "dad". And to top it all off, I imagine Troll!Veneer would still be wearing the bracelet Floyd made for him.

After all is said and done and Troll!Velvet is rescued, I'm imagining the group in Rhonda on the way back to Pop Village at night, Troll!Veneer lying on the couch patched up and covered with a blanket, Floyd in the kitchen with Bruce making soup for dinner while talking about himself and the twins, and Floyd standing up for the twins and having a spat with JD about them.

Happy ending! That would be entire separate story in itself of Veneer calling Floyd dad, I can try doing the last bit lol

Velvet took her place by her brother’s side as he lay down. She secured the blankets around him as if still trying to shield him. Looking at him and his wounds, she couldn’t help be feel a sense of guilt… this was her doing. Veneer had tried stopping her, but she was persistent and too darn stubborn. Instead of having her go alone, he did everything by her side.

“I don’t get it.” JD broke the silence between him and Floyd as he made something to eat for the twins.

“What?” Floyd asked with a concussion on his face.

“They betrayed you. Why do you still care? We should turn them in. The other Trolls will take care of them for you.”

“John, I’m not doing that.” Floyd responded.

“What do you owe them Floyd? We came out here to save you because of them.”

Floyd pursed his lips. How could he make his brother understand what those kids meant to him.

“… Parenting is hard. You think you know everything a kid is going through, but you have no idea. I wasn’t careful, I wasn’t paying attention to how Velvet was really feeling…I pushed both of them away…” Floyd stated.

Parenting? So Floyd really did see these two brats as his own kids.

“Where are there parents?” John asked.

“There was an accident….Really great couple….They loved their kids very much. It really change the twins when they died… I tried my best, but I don’t think I tried hard enough.”

John Dory stole another glance toward the twins direction. He noticed their wrists.

“Are those…. The bracelets?” He asked. Floyd was confused. He turned to look at the small piece of jewelry they each wore… he never noticed… all this time, they kept the bracelets he made for them. His heart melted as he smiled to the twins. John Dory sighed as he looked between Floyd and the twins.

“…. I think I get it now.” He admitted. Floyd looked to him curiously. “Hey, we’re not so perfect a family either.” He shrugged.

“Thanks John.” Floyd grabbed soup bowels of soup and made his way towards the twin trolls. He offered a bowel to Velvet. She shook her head.

“You have to eat.”

“Ven, isn’t eating.”

“He’s resting. Which he needs a lot of. There will be some ready when he wakes up.”

Hesitantly, but surely, Velvet took the bowel from his hands and began eating. Floyd sat next to her… they were safe, they were ALL safe. They could finally try to be a family again.

“Where are we going…” she asked softly.

“Pop Troll village…. your new home.”

A quiver came to Velvets lips….home. Something they hadn’t had in a while. She set the bowel down and hugged Floyd tightly, still having one hand over her brother.

“….thanks dad.” She murmured.

Floyd smile…. No one would hurt them ever again.

Associated color(s) (not necessarily worn): Yellow

Voice: Light, excitable, melodic, with a light Delgane accent

Opinions of…

Nauth: “Where do I begin? He’s so… mysterious, in a way. I hardly know anything about his past. Most people don’t, I think. And he’s exotic, in a way. His skin is darker than any Vandeth person I’ve seen. And he’s handsome, too. But I’d never have the courage to tell him how I feel. And besides, Lynn won’t even teach me the Vandeth words for ‘I love you’.”

Ven: “Nauth’s friend? I think he’s something of a rascal. I’ve seen the way he looks at those of us in the kitchens. But I must admit, I’m a little insulted to see his eyes skip over me, of all people.”

Lynn: “My brother is perfect and the best brother ever. I would die for him if he ever let me. And he always takes such good care of me. I just want to give back in any way I can.”

Mela: “Mela… Nauth’s sweetheart, right? I’ve heard she’s nice.”

Elial: “Lynn says to avoid her. I trust his judgement.”

William: “Very nice man. Very protective, I think. And good with a sword, too.”

Gloria: “I quite like Gloria. I might ask her to teach me how to use a sword. It can’t be much different from kitchen knives, surely.”

Sils: “I understand. It’s infuriating to be treated like a child. Well, Sils is a child, but I’m not! But I know how it feels to be treated like that.”

[rosewritesfanfics]

I don’t know if your still accepting requests, feel free to ignore this if you aren’t, but can I ask for Riku, Terra, and Aqua with a reader who’s a talented mage?

Sure thing! And this is actually the first request I've gotten haha. Thank you for sending it in!

Riku

He's not only impressed by your ability with magic, but incredibly thankful for it. You're more talented at healing spells than he'll ever be, so your constantly having to patch him up after a fight.

He's definitely gonna want some tips, so magic lessons can be a fun bonding activity for you both! Just be ready with a water spell for when something inevitably catches fire.

If you've been wrapped up in research for a while or trying to innovate new ways to use magic, he's gonna make you take care of yourself. Riku will make you take breaks, eat, drink, and sleep. He's impressed with your capabilities, but that's no excuse not to take care of yourself!

Riku is a bit of a hypocrite however, and you've caught him practicing his own magic late at night instead of sleeping. In his defense, he really wants to impress you! Please make sure he goes to bed though.

Surprisingly he's the most chill about you experimenting with darkness. He's definitely anxious don't get me wrong, but his journey taught him not to cower because darkness. He's kind of glad your taking it head on instead of waiting for it to consume you. Just be careful, ok?

Aqua

You two are quite the power couple, as Aqua is very talented with magic herself. Heartless stand no chance against you, so you often finish missions early if you're paired together.

She will definitely ask for tips when it comes to fire magic, though she is a little bit embarrassed. Despite being the "easiest spell" she could never get the hang of it. Reassuring her that she's doing great is a wonderful confidence boost.

She will be so excited if you have a move that's flashy like spell weaver. You two can combine attacks and be super op lol

Aqua also loves if you can make intricate patterns with your magic. Sometimes at night you'll both shoot designs into the sky, it's like your own mini firework show!

Loves to spar with you too, and constantly tells you that she's proud of each new achievement. She's impressed you can keep up with her so easily!

She is extremely wary of you doing anything with the darkness. You might give the poor girl a heart attack. Aqua trusts you though, she might just ask to be present incase something goes wrong.

Terra

Terra's fighting style relies more on brute strength, so in a way you help to complete him. Expect to patch him up after fights much like with Riku.

He's so impressed with you and is not shy about it. Like if he could announce how cool he thinks you are to the entire universe he would.

Ven joins in on your training sessions together sometimes, and Terra would love it if you'd help teach him magic. Terra is very protective of Ven, so he's glad to see the two of you getting along. The way to Terra's heart is through being good with his little brother.

He actually tried to help with your research! He'll run field tests, help you organize your spell books, anything you want him to help with! He may not understand it all but he wants to support you in anyway he can.

Please do not try anything involving darkness around him, although I think that goes without saying. If he ever finds out you're experimenting with it he'd be terrafied. (Sorry)

Hi there I loved your headcanons for Sanji with a Latina s/o, and was wondering if you could possibly do some headcanons of Zoro with a Latina brujita s/o, please? Thank you for your time! As a fellow latino, seeing your writing makes me so happy we have wonderful representation from creators like you.

OMG OMFG OMFG YESS I LOVE THESEEEE!! THIS IS WHAT IM HERE FOR! you don’t understand how much this made my night! I got you! :)

I might make this a series though since I’m a bruja y curandera myself :) when I make a link I’ll make more for the rest of the trio :>

Zoro with a Bruja for an s/o

• Let’s be honest zoro does not even believe in brujería 💀

• Well not at first

• “PFTAHAJHAAJA! Let me guess you’re gonna do hocus pocus type shit!? KYAHAHAHA!!”

•. Yes he can be superstitious no joke but he’s more of a see it to believe it kinda guy.

• You help with chopper and sanji for natural remedies if they can’t seem to put things together.

• Like one time nami was angry because she couldn’t even get to seduce a guy for money get that bag sis 💸

• you did a ven a mi dinero trabajo (trabajo another word for spell or working) let’s just say. She got that bag within 15-20 minutes :>

• but there was this one time he pissed you off and you were done. Literally he made fun of one your ancestors ofrendas. (Trust me id be pissed too, especially if they’re sensitive) I mean SO DONE! you had to ask chopper to get some of zoros hair.

• “What are they gonna do?! If you’re real spirit! Show me a sign!” he said jokingly as he was drinkng your ancestors alcohol..

• he literally saw a book yEET across the room.

• than he saw a shadow figure walk close to him. Lights flickered, and then sanji started screaming “MY BISCUITS!!”

• “okay okay!! I’m sorry.” he mumbled.

• when you gave him a tarot reading that’s how you knew he had feelings for you.

• he didn’t even know until sanji, nami and robin had to explain it to him

• “oh… is there something you’ve been wanting to tell me…??”

• “yeah this.” he just straight up kissed you

• since than he always went to you for your advice. Since you give him readings all the time

• WEEKLY CLEANSES ARE A MUST!

•one time Zoro accidentally drank Florida water (it’s a cologne thats very powerful in brujería)

• if you’re a Santa Muerte Devotee now he’ll give her a glass of alcohol just for you to be safe.

• he always watches you from behind when you do a cleanse or a ritual for the crew. You’re just his sweet wittle bwuja 🥹💗

•he does buy you a pendant of your santo and takes it to the medicine man to get it blessed personally. because he knows you’d appreciate it if he took the time to do something for you

•as you do so much for him.

• “can you ask your cards if im gonna beat that curlys ass soon?!”

•”what does my dream mean of seeing you naked?”

• “I keep seeing numbers like 111 or 222, and repeating numbers WHAT?! DO THEY MEAN!”

• “I can take the jar back.”

•” NO… I like it…”

•San judas takes his onigiri because you pray for him a lot to be safe AND TO NOT GET LOST 😭

• when you visit every medicine man in every island you go to. He goes with you and you always ask them to check if everyone will be safe. You’re making sure everyone’s safe that’s adorable :)

• yes he’ll do spicy magic with you

• overall he finds you to be very powerful, and hot at the same time. His love for you will only grow stronger

29, 49, and 50 for the Aro-spec Ask Game

Were you ever confused about “love” or romance as a kid? Are you still confused about it?

I didn’t question it too much as a kid—I just assumed I’d have a boyfriend/get married eventually. When I never got any crushes I started to wonder about things more. 

As far as attraction goes, I understand aesthetic and platonic attraction. But romantic and sexual attraction are a little more confusing? I do tend to think my asexuality sparked my aromanticism, so for me those go hand in hand. 

How do you feel about romantic subplots in movies?

For subplots and main plots: 

I usually don’t like them, but in kids’ movies it can be better(?) Just depends on the type of romance. One time someone asked me who my favorite movie couple was, and I honestly couldn’t think of any I liked. A lot of my favorite movies are fairytales with romance, but that doesn’t bother me because I feel like it’s more symbolic anyway. (More about the “happily ever after” than portraying an actual romantic relationship.—Think Cinderella.) 

Any arospec headcanons? 

Any character I can get my hands on 😆. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration… Ven’s a great one since (knock on wood) he doesn’t have any apparent romantic interests in canon. He seems pretty chill with living with his best friends and Chirithy instead. If they use him to “pair the spares” (Strelitzia, Naminé, Xion, whoever…) I’ll actually cry.  Also if they elevate Terra and Aqua’s relationship but make him a third wheel I’ll actually cry.

“Death, where is thy jolly old sting?”

My dear friend Bertie Wooster in engaged to Honoria Glossop! Congrats? Well, poor Bertie is not so happy with this arrangement. Honoria is dedicated to mould him but Bertie doesn't enjoy culture in the same way. Probably he feels like he's at school again.

“Bertie,” she said, suddenly, as if she had just remembered it, “what is the name of that man of yours⁠—your valet?” “Eh? Oh, Jeeves.” “I think he’s a bad influence for you,” said Honoria. “When we are married, you must get rid of Jeeves.”

Jeeves is essential in Bertie's life! How dare she to separate them? ¡Ven pa' acá, Honoria! [swears in Chilean]

“Bertie,” she said, “dear Honoria does not know it, but a little difficulty has arisen about your marriage.” “By Jove! not really?” I said, hope starting to dawn. “Oh, it’s nothing at all, of course. It is only a little exasperating. The fact is, Sir Roderick is being rather troublesome.”

There's a light in Wooster future, I guess. If Sir Roderick doesn't like him there's a chance to break the engagement, but there will be new problems with Aunt Agatha. Hard choice, dear Bertie. It's a good idea to see what Sir Robert dislikes:

Don’t giggle nervously: try to keep that horrible glassy expression out of your eyes: don’t yawn or fidget; and remember that Sir Roderick is the president of the West London branch of the anti-gambling league, so please do not talk about horse-racing. He will lunch with you at your flat tomorrow at one-thirty. Please remember that he drinks no wine, strongly disapproves of smoking, and can only eat the simplest food, owing to an impaired digestion. Do not offer him coffee, for he considers it the root of half the nerve-trouble in the world.”

Basically, he dislikes Bertie's life style

“I should think a dog biscuit and a glass of water would about meet the case, what?” “Bertie!” “Oh, all right. Merely persiflage.”

Just as in the Holmes family, "art is in the blood" (neurodivergency, I guess) and in Wooster familty, Uncle Henry’s eccentricity is the trait that Aunt Agatha fears a lot, but I don't understand why is she so afraid of Henry's love for rabbits... unless he liked another type of bunnies...

Sir Roderick is very smart, but his vibes doesn't match Bertie and my old chap is masking a much as he can. The fact that he doesn't like cats and apparently there's a cat hidden in Wooster apartament makes this harder.

Will Jeeves and Wooster be separated? Honoria has Aunt Agatha on her side, Jeeves has the power of friendship and luck on his side. Good luck, Bertie!

Nagi: Isn’t it a nice living room? It’ll be perfect for our sweet day to day life here!

Van: Indeed, it’s the kind of place where you can relax and have a good conversation.

Van: Hey, Angel, I want to have a quick chat with you so I can learn all about your preferences.

Kira: I want to hear about that too. I also want to know about the things you’re not good at. That way, we can deal with it honestly. 

Eiji: The thing I want to learn about you is your favorite flower. If the living room is decorated with the flowers you like, it’ll surely make you feel at home!

Eiichi: Then, why don’t we talk about our future together after this? Alone, of course.

Eiji: Er… I should probably try my hardest too.

Eiji: Well then, Angel, why don’t we continue our conversation in the garden? It’s incredibly beautiful and there are lots of flowers at their best time to see, you could go there many times and not get tired of it. Let’s go there together!

Nagi: If it’s to be alone together, the obvious place is the rooftop, isn’t it? It’s got a great view and you can even see a nearby lake! Nagi will show you all kinds of places. Let’s look for many date spots!

Kira: What about a break first? I’d like to offer you a moment to relax.

Kira: I’ve prepared some sweets. Everything was made by me, from the tea set and the dessert plates to the spoons and forks.

Yamato: Since you have brought up so much stuff related to pottery, I’ll do the same.

Yamato: I told you I’m a martial artist. The point is, I make a living through my strength. If you’re going to rest, isn’t it better to relax in your room? I’ll carry you there in my arms.

Yamato: Why are you so surprised? Even going up the stairs is a breeze for me.

Van: That’s not the point, they’re probably surprised and embarrassed by how forceful you were.

Van: We’re not all like that, Angel. I’ll match your pace perfectly, so don’t worry. You can say whatever comes to mind.

Shion: I am not as eloquent as the others. Rather than pronouncing myself, I am making an effort. However, our destination is an unknown place.

Shion: The reality is that I don’t have the slightest idea about what process I should follow.

Shion: Hence why I think it’s best you spend your time however you see fit. Amakusa also has decided to follow his own heart, and if we head to the same place as a result, then that is fate.

Eiichi: I see. Instead of thinking of an excuse to meet, you prefer to do nothing. That is another way of thinking about it. But don’t forget, Angel came here searching for true love.

Shion: Meaning…?

Yamato: The truth is, it would benefit us if Shion remained weak-willed like that. Because that would mean one less rival for us.

Yamato: But that wouldn’t be a real competition. That’s what Eiichi is trying to say.

Eiichi: Yes. It’s all for Angel’s sake, they need to have enough information to make their choice.

Eiichi: That is to say, each of us needs to do their best and clearly show our feelings for Angel through our words and actions.

Shion: Amakusa understands your point, but the way to show one's feelings would not be to just loudly proclaim one's love. Right now, to me, the best way is to quietly wait for our fates to intersect.

Eiji: But are you sure that Angel is okay with that? If it were me, I don’t think I’d be able to choose properly.

Kira: Shion’s policy is to not take the initiative, isn’t it?

Kira: Each of us has a different charm. I think it’s a good thing that we all have different personalities.

Kira: Do you share that opinion, Angel?

Kira: I’m glad to hear that.

Yamato: I guess the meeting’s over. Hey, Angel, let’s ditch these guys and go to your room together.

Nagi: No! Come with Nagi to the rooftop!

Eiji: Won’t you come with me to the garden?

Kira: It’s best to take a break here.

Shion: Do whatever you feel like doing.

Van: I'd like you to tell me your true feelings in secret, just the two of us.

Eiichi: I’ll escort you anywhere perfectly, if you entrust yourself to me.

(the listener mentions they feel lost)

Eiji: If you’re lost, it means there isn’t one definite candidate in your mind. It seems I'm not lagging behind everyone, I feel a little relieved.

Van: By the way, I’m the oldest here. How about going by seniority order starting with me?

Nagi: What?! We should do the opposite! Let’s start with Nagi!

Shion: The optimal way to do a comparative examination of each possibility…

Shion: Is to create, arrange, and compare materials that briefly describe the benefits of each proposal. This is the only thing that comes to mind.

Yamato: Yeah, no. I can’t do that. Let’s go with a different way of deciding.

Kira: How about a game of rock, paper, scissors?

Kira: When push comes to shove, I’ve never lost.

Eiichi: So we’re taking luck into consideration. Very well, I accept.

Van: Wait a second. It's not easy to decide by rock-paper-scissors either when there are seven of us.

Kira: Then let’s go with a game of Ghost Leg*, it’s also straightforward.

Translator's notes:

Known in Japan as 'Amidakuji', in a ghost leg lottery, one of several vertical lines is assigned to each participant, and horizontal lines, the "legs", are randomly connected between each vertical line. Everyone traces the path until the bottom. In this case, it would decide the order of who gets to be alone with Angel first.

Not the same anon, but this blog (& the Byler analyses tag) has been so helpful in relieving my Byler doubt

I will get Byler doubt at times but what I don’t get is Milkvan doubt aka I 100% believe Milkvan won’t be endgame and even if I worry at times Byler won’t be canon I still can’t imagine Milkvan being endgame after how they ending s4 barely speaking to each other

We don’t even see Eleven tell Mike she doesn’t feel she was ready to face Vecna we only get Mike telling Will this which means they forewent a Milkvan scene in favor of a Byler scene

Hello! How are you doing?

First of all, I am glad that the blog has been helping you with your doubt, I totally understand feeling doubt, but it's amazing to know what reading the blog has been helping, even if a little bit.

I completely agree with you, I cannot for the life of me seeing Mil*ven being endgame, like, I just don't see it.

From them choosing not to show Mike and El's conversation and giving us the information we have using Byler for El not talking to Mike at all after that love speech, there's too much to show they won't end up together.

As for Byler, well, you read my blog so I guess you already know 🤣

But even so, if you're ever feeling doubt, don't hesitate to drop by and send an ask, I'll be more than happy to help 💓

I hope you have a great day/weekend ☺️

Genius Eccentric (Fanfic)

A new chapter of my Lies of p Fanfic series (´ ω `♡)

Pinocchio found himself at Venigni’s mansion, from time to time, he would visit him, even if Pinocchio didn’t understand his eccentricities, it made him happy to be with Venigni, and it made Venigni very happy that Pinocchio would choose to spend time with him. Currently, he was talking about improvements in the modes of transportation around Krat.

“When you awoke, you found yourself in a train, right? Oh, how lovely it would be for you to see an actual train ride, don’t worry, your uncle Venigni can make that possible, I just need to make proper arrangements with Geppetto, see what we can do about that”

Venigni had started calling himself his uncle, with no deep private conversations to be had, one day, he just called himself Pinocchio’s uncle, and that’s that. Pinocchio was happy when it first happened of course, he still is, but the situation still felt a bit weird, he remembers when he first rescued Venigni from the factory, he was so confused about the things he talked about that weren’t related to aid Pinocchio on his quest. He remembers last year at the hotel, after another strange conversation with him, he worried he was just bad at talking with others, so he decided to ask his father for advice.

“Son Venigni is… weird, he is my friend, and I’ve known him for a long time, but he is strange, and that’s not a bad thing mind you, however sometimes he starts talking about his inventions or his interests and it’s hard to keep up with what he is saying, so I suggest you nod along to what he says when you don’t understand”

That wasn’t enough for him at the time, so he decided to ask Sophia about it as well.

“Mmm Venigni is a very… dedicated man, sometimes he might forget others aren’t that dedicated to the things he talks about, I suggest you just let him talk and for you to just listen”

That was the thing that convinced him that it was best to let Venigni say his peace and not fry his brain trying to keep up with everything he said. Pinocchio’s thoughts were interrupted when he heard Pulcinella’s voice.

“Excuse me, but, I believe the meeting with the hospital directors is about to start”

Looks like as time passed, Venigni had completely forgotten about it, but he never missed a meeting or an event, and he was never late either even if he had forgotten about it, Pulcinella was always there to make sure he got things done in time.

“Oh dear, how careless of me to forget, I’m so sorry Pinocchio our conversation is going to have to be cut short”

“It’s okay, I’ll leave and-“ but Pinocchio couldn’t finish that sentence.

“No no no friend, you cannot leave now, the day just started, you just got here! This meeting won’t take long” Venigni paused, he had an idea, “How about you come to the meeting? Wonderful, excellent, you’ll come to the meeting with me”

“Huh?” Pinocchio was confused, was he allowed to be there?

“It’s gonna be held right here, on the second floor, and you should see it! You could learn so much from it, why maybe you can learn a thing or two on how businesses work in action”

“Can I really be there? I mean, I don’t want to be a bother…” Pinocchio said, he still wasn’t fully sure it was a good idea.

“Nonsense! You won’t bother anyone at all, besides, if I say you are allowed to be there, then you are” Venigni kept insisting, so Pinocchio relented.

“Wonderful! Pulcinella my dear, my friend, my greatest buddy, please, should something come up, make sure to notify me”

Pulcinella nodded, in a way, their friendship was like the one Pinocchio had with Gemini, others wouldn’t understand that kind of bond.

“Now, you remember that hospital I built? This meeting is just about simple logistics, nothing serious, we will be done in no time”

———

Venigni had led Pinocchio to a room on the second floor, a large round table was in the center, with many chairs surrounding it, Venigni’s position at the end of it all, his chair wasn’t like the others, it was custom made, it looked like one of the fancy chairs you would find at one of the floors on Hotel Krat.

As the hospital representatives arrived, Venigni greeted them one by one, with a firm handshake and simple pleasantries, the board consisted of the hospital chief, the head doctors, and the lead nurse, in total, twelve of them.

They all took their respective places, there were still chairs to spare, after all the room had held bigger meetings, Pinocchio was standing next to Venigni, he signaled at him to sit down, Pinocchio grabbed the chair closest to him, he pulled it even closer to Venigni side, he was nervous and it was obvious.

“And who is this young man?” The chief director asked. His voice was slow and a bit raspy, he was in his 80s after all, yet despite his age, he managed to capably hold his position at the hospital.

“This is Geppetto’s son, he is accompanying me for the day, do not worry, he is just here to observe” Venigni had confidence in his words, he didn’t think twice about what he would say, the words would come out on their own, yet the never sounded mean or out of place, Venigni certainly had a way with words no one else could match.

“I thought Geppetto’s son had passed away” The tone of the director was confused, one of the doctors was the one who decided to intervene.

“That’s his other son, it’s a pleasure, I’ve never met you before” The people of Krat might have known about Pinocchio’s existence, but no one really recognized him when he was outside, first, because Krat is a big place, second, the public had never even seen a picture of him, he was only, unfortunately known as “Geppetto’s puppet son that looks like Carlo and helped with the frenzy”

“Oh right the puppet one,” the director said under his breath.

“I’m more than just a puppet you know!” That’s what Pinocchio wanted to say, but he didn’t want to interrupt the meeting and be rude. “It’s, nice to meet you too” is what he said instead.

“Great! Now let’s move on from the pleasantries and move on to the discussion” Venigni was excited to finally begin.

Pinocchio sat down and listened, and he was actually very intrigued, he thought that a meeting like that would just be extremely boring, and perhaps in most circumstances, it would be, but Venigni always made everything he talked about so interesting.

They switched around from topic to topic, nothing escaping the mind of Venigni.

“Do we have enough beds?”

“How is the pediatric ward doing?”

“What is our situation regarding the syringes? What of our sterilization equipment?”

Venigni even knew the influx number of patients that had come in and out of the hospital that month. It was fascinating hearing him speak, and for the first time, when he talked so passionately about something, Pinocchio fully understood what he was meant to say, maybe it was because he had to be more simple with his words, this was business after all, but Pinocchio was having a good time, hearing him talk about all that.

Besides, he didn’t know anything about how hospitals worked, only that they helped sick people, it was exciting to hear the ins and outs of the process of running one, Pinocchio had even started to quick his legs a bit in his chair, he couldn’t hide his excitement.

Once the meeting was over, the hospital staff left one by one, until Pinocchio and Venigni were now alone in the room.

“What do you think my friend? I could tell you loved hearing me speak today”

Pinocchio nodded, “It was so fun to hear you talk like that!”

“Then you should join me in more meetings like this! You always have a place in here, and it is always good for you to learn some business sense, I guarantee that what you will see, is something no textbook could ever properly explain”

Pinocchio liked that idea, he had really enjoyed the talk, and he learned so much, not just about hospitals but about, what did he call it again?, right logistics, and Venigni was the head of so many businesses, there was so much he could learn from attending his meeting, “If it’s not too much to ask, then, I’d love too”.

“It’s settled then, from time to time, you’ll attend some of my meetings, I’ll arrange it with Pulcinella,” Venigni said in his usual enthusiastic tone.

“Uncle Venigni, how do you do it? How can you know so much stuff like that?”

Venigni opened his mouth, but he was interrupted by the opening of the door. It was the doctor who had spoken up before, “I’m sorry to interrupt, I left my notebook on the desk, I’ll be out soon” The doctor got close to the table and picked up what was left behind. Before they could leave, Venigni signaled them to come, if just to say hi.

“Pinocchio this is Doctor Lily, head of the psychiatric unit at the hospital, the two of you already said hi, but I believe it best for you to properly introduce each other”

Doctor Lily shakes Pinocchio’s hand, “Once more, it’s a pleasure, and please, don’t take what the chief director said too personally, he is old and can get forgetful”

Venigni turned around to face Pinnochio again.

“Pinocchio dear, to be truthful I don’t know, but it’s a feeling you know? When I learn about something, I can’t just leave it there, I have to memorize it, and I have to find what I can of it, it’s thrilling, to know about so much, to be passionate about my interests, you share my passion for learning as well right?” Venigni now was holding Pinocchio’s shoulders, “Why sometimes, when I find something new, I can’t stop thinking about it, it becomes my life! I think of it twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, it’s so intense, yet so unbearable at times! To have nothing but that topic in your mind like that, can even make me unfocused on my daily tasks, but eventually, it’s no bother, it suddenly fades away, and I can properly go back to do what I do best”

Venigni was now almost shaking Pinocchio with enthusiasm, Pinocchio pulled him in for a brief hug, oh how that boy loved to hug others. After their quick embrace, Venigni turned to look at Doctor Lily.

“Well, doctor what do you think? You certainly know about the mind more than me, what would you say about the deep passionate knowledge my mind holds?”

“Mmm” Doctor Lily thought out loud, pulling one of her hands to her chin, “That’s very interesting Mr. Venigni, have you ever been evaluated for autism?”

CitoIta and Kingdom Hearts Headcanons

Because I like Kingdom Hearts and I like them and they are gamers

(I say CitoIta but honestly, it’s just because it’s about Citron & Itaru, the ship is kinda vague here lol. Like it’s probably optional to read it that way at this point)

(There’s an attempted bonus section about Banri at the end, that’s why I tagged him.)

{Opening in new tab is strongly advised. I used bullet points with sub bullet points. UPDATE: I personally struggled with opening this in a new tab on the blog where all the subpoints are properly formatted, so I pinned it so you can go right to my blog and find it easily if you want. Also I moved the Intro below the Keep Reading link for space.}

Keep Reading (I manually put this one so it would hopefully always open in a new properly formatted tab)

In this post, scientifically backed by my memory, understanding of the characters and other things (eg: feelings, unlisted headcanons, & my understanding of types of people in fanbases/the kh fandom, minus shippers, I’m not touching that... here, I might consider it in the future, probably not but maybe), I will go over basics like how many games they’ve played and their fave games, trios, characters by groups, and moments. Also, there are conversations and little tidbits about how it fits into their world. I tried to pick a favorite battle but note that they probably have more than one those are just notable ones that I thought were worth mentioning. There will be KH spoilers if you’re someone unfamiliar/not caught up with it. 

Citron

Has not played every game but has looked into the story and watched playthroughs of some of the other games.

Hasn’t played the games he has played in order, 

Might not have caught up on the story in order but if so that’d be more because he was looking for specific characters and info

Has definitely played BBS, Days, CoM, UX, & Dark Road. 

Might’ve played (one, two or all three of the following, idk) DDD, Re:Coded, KH

Has definitely not played KH2,

Likes to find/delve into theories

Read the Sleeping Realm Theory 

to Itaru, because he thought it sorta sounded interesting but told Citron he wasn’t reading all that.

I don’t know any other names of long theories besides SRT but you can bet your bottom dollar that Citron has read(or listened to) them for sure

Bracketed the first part bcuz I think he uses the second part as a reaction sometimes, same infliction and everything

It’s at the point that Tsuzuru’s familiar with it, against his wishes(If Citron says the first part Tsuzuru might accidentally properly respond, that’s how deep in he is, he’s not even sure who Xehanort is(but he does think that’s nuts))

Proud it only took a couple of tries to beat Yozora (he recorded each try to put his win on his channel)

Uses items all the time, knows when the best time to effectively use items for maximum item usage

“Actual" conversations:

Fave Games:

Itaru: *rambling about some KH2-related topic &/or how he can’t believe Citron hasn’t played 2*

Citron: ooo! Itaru, are you one of those guys who feels Kingdom Hearts peaked at 2?

Itaru: Kingdom Hearts 2 is just an objectively good game, the other games are good too though. KH2 is just, objectively speaking, great. Is it my favorite? Yes, but it’s completely warranted as...

Citron: *smiling as Itaru starts rambling knowing that he’s point two seconds away from going into a 2hr spiel about how KH2 is great*

Itaru: *clears throat catching himself early* A-Anyway, which one’s your favorite?

Citron: Birth by Sleep! I love the ice cream rhythm game :3

Itaru: *understanding that there’s definitely a lot deeper of a reason to that being Citron’s fave* Oh, that’s a good pick. Actually sorta seems on brand for you. Ice Cream Beat is pretty fun.

[Then they boot up Itaru’s copy of BBS and play Ice Cream Beat]

Play Order:

Itaru: So it’s a little late for you to get the full proper experience but we’re gonna play the games in order because it’s really the best way to experience the games.

Citron: Ok, speaking of order and since we’ll get to Birth By Sleep eventually, we both agree that the best way to play the first time is Aqua Terra Ven, yes?

Itaru [has played each route and in varying order, does not quite remember which order he played the game in the first time but is pretty sure it was Terra Ven Aqua]: ...Ven makes a lot of sense to play last...

Citron: Then I am glad we are in agreement. ^^

Itaru: Most people play Aqua last tho--

Citron: Sure chronologically she left Land of Departure last, but story telling-wise *starts talking about why Aqua, Terra, Ven is the best order*

Twewy: (I could do a whole other post on headcanons regarding them playing twewy, it’d maybe be shorter, tho maybe I won’t bcuz I feel like they know more than me lol(I say like Itaru doesn’t know more about KH than me *cries*). If I refer to twewy’s og name wrong here I’m sorry)

Citron: It’s cool that the twewy characters were in DDD. :)

Itaru: Yea. Oh you played subaseka before you met the cast in 3D right?

Citron: :)

Itaru: Right?

[Citron refuses to answer because he thinks leaving Itaru hanging is funnier than a yes or no ever could be]

Ansem SoD as Itaru’s Fave Xehanort:

Citron *three seconds after finding out*: So, is he your favorite because nostalgia as he was the first one you battled or because you think he’s hot?

Itaru: *chokes on being immediately found out because it’s both*

Bonus: Banri & KH Headcanons for no reason other than he also plays games

(With some obligatory Citron and Itaru mentions below because this is their post lol Banri’s not a part of CitoIta. Just to clarify)

Probably has not played all the games

Stares at Itaru whenever he starts talking about secret bosses or hard-to-find treasure chests/secret reports typically until he stops, lists a specific Banri is familiar with or Banri finds a way to shift the conversation. It’s not that he hasn’t come across them he just

doesn’t know which bosses are secret and which aren’t

doesn’t go out of his way to look for treasure chests

Partakes in the memes

Can quote more games than he played honestly, loves those “out of context”/”lines I quote” videos

Has memes saved to his phone

Azami and Taichi borrowed his phone once for picture reasons and Azami was appalled by the Aqua Cinderella meme & the Terra memes (ifykyk)

Probably had Xion’s scream from Days as Sakyo’s someone’s ringtone as a joke (can people set ringtones and ringback tones anymore?) but then he recieved a call from that person in public and was lowkey highkey embarassed so he unset it

He and Citron:

have done a Goofy rendition of Bring Me to Life one time

though Banri sorta begrudgingly participated

At least one Mankai member who was there said he’s not going Karaoke w/ them anymore

are quick to point out or send pictures of “Lucky Emblems” when they see them, it’s almost a contest at this point

Sakyo has asked them to stop sending “lOOk!! a LuCKy emBlem!” in the main chat with a picture of three connected circles, Itaru eggs them on tho

Itaru participates too but he doesn’t have the same luck in seeing them, he is the reason they started tho as in person he pointed one out so later Citron sent a picture of one to show him, so Banri just had to too but he sent two as he already had the pictures and was gonna show them later, so Citron had to find two more to be in the lead and after he found just one more, Banri caught on that they were competing and they spiraled from there

I know logically they don’t appear that often irl but I also know in my heart that it’s happened enough that Taichi, then Kazu and Kumon participated. Now,  the rest of Mankai keeps an eye out for them

Between Tsumugi’s picture of flower bulbs leaning together captioned “Does this count as a lucky emblem?” Izumi asking how many points she gets for a random spot on the ground that sorta looks like a lucky emblem & Omi sending a picture of at lighting set up from work saying “ at this angle this sorta looks like a lucky emblem right?” Sakyo’s feeling a little betrayed because each of those were during times when people weren’t actively mentioning them in the chat.

Winter Troupe is the first troupe to all find at least one “Lucky Emblem”

Autumn troupe (jokingly) blame Sakyo for them not being first

UX Union:

Has probably been in a couple, Ursus or Vulpeus most recently

Favorites:

Game: Dream Drop Distance

but would rather tell you he “hasn’t thought about it, maybe 2″

Trio: Destiny, 

but might not correct you if you guessed Sea Salt,

Character from each group:

Destiny: Riku

He honestly sorta relates in ways. I’m not gonna get too into it but like yea he feels.

Sea Salt: Roxas

Keyblade Knights: Terra, 

but he makes jokes that rag on him a lot so unless you know Banri you would probably think he hates him or just likes to make fun of him. He really does like Terra as a character tho. Feels for him too. But as we know bullying is his love language

Twilight Town: Seifer Pence

Seifer’s a joke fave because of the undeniable proof [they] totally owned [those] lamers (if ykyk)

Lost Trio: Vanitas, 

but Rep’s a close second

Organization 13(minus Sea Salt): Larxene & Xigbar

Foretellers: Luxu (?)

Xkids: Player|Star(light)

DR Underclassmen: Xehanort, “but Bragi’s kinda cool, I guess.”

DR Upperclassmen: *hasn’t actually caught up yet, but he likes Helgi’s design*

Xehanort: Young Master Xehanort(YMX)

Itaru says it’s because they’re both brats

Boss Battle (that he definitely 100% played): 

KH2 Sora v Sephiroth or DDD Riku v YMX [I couldn’t decide which one to list]

Opening:

KH3

Moments/Tidbits:

Involving Fave Trio:

All Three:

KH2

Kairi “calling Riku tf out” ultimately leading to the reunion

KH3

Riku talking with Rep on the beach, Kairi and Sora sees him sitting there by himself

Sora:

KH1

Sora giving his goofy smile before plunging a keyblade into his chest

KH3

Sora dropping down to protect Riku from Dark Aqua in the nick of time

Riku:

DDD

That Riku just subconsciously became a dream eater

KH3

Riku taking a stand against the heartless despite just about all hope being lost

Kairi:

KH2:

Kairi(and Namine) preparing to fight Saix and the berserker nobodies with their bare hands

KH3 Re:Mind

Kairi getting a surprise attack in on Xemnas

Involving someone other than Fave Trio: 

KH3

Yeetus Vanitas

Woody roasting YMX

DDD

YMX & Vanitas spouting “nonsense” at Sora

Lea showing up and Donald & Goofy dropping from the sky, ultimately coming to the rescue

UX

Star ready to square up with the Foretellers

mainly in reference to the Star v Ira speech/scene/fight but the Aced one too

Commonly Quoted(?) Lines from the English Translation: “Mickey it’s Riku, they put bugs in him!” & “Thank you Sora’s heart”

Final things of note:

Always plays on proud mode from the get-go

Not really a completion-ist but does have just about every trophy earned on DDD

Didn’t know you could lose to Yozora in the battle against him

Probably actually more of a Final Fantasy fan than KH, or at least got into KH because the Final Fantasy appearances

Bonus Convos:

Demyx:

Itaru: Yea, I can’t figure out Luxord, for Demyx I’ve seen people guess his name as Myde.

Banri: lol I like the theory that his name is Demyx and he just wandered into the Organization 

Citron: That one is funny, but as far as likelyness goes I like to think his name is Demy and they just slapped an x at the end.

Banri: The laziest naming.

Citron: Exactly!

[and then Banri and Citron start talking about Demyx and it somehow leads them to talking about Goofy’s “death” in KH2 and now they’re talking about KH memes and jokes and Itaru just wanted to know if they had any thoughts on Luxord’s name.]

Vanitas vs Aqua:

Banri: *(possibly somewhat jokingly) insinuates Vanitas is as strong but probably stronger than Aqua*

Citron: *gasp* No!! He is not.

Banri: Really? Then how come he almost took Aqua out?

Citron[genuinely loves Vanitas]: He is a rat! He cannot beat Aqua in a fair fight!

Itaru: I believe he means brat.

Citron: No!! I mean rat, feral ferret child! Can only beat Aqua after biting her and giving her rabies! And even then, she still has at least a week to destroy him.

Itaru: lol that’s quite the metaphor.

Banri: I... *got lost* ???

Itaru: He’s saying Vanitas can only use dirty tricks to even get close to beating Aqua.

Banri: ???

Citron: If Vanitas could beat her he wouldn’t have to result to tricks like firing at Ven, which she was already off her A-game then mind you. But honestly, if Vanitas can’t even get close to beating Terra what hope does he have to actually beat Aqua. I can vouch that he can’t beat Terra. I beat the Terra v Xehanort and Vanitas battle by whacking Vanitas around. It was really easy. Vanitas has only beaten Ven in a fair fight. He’s not nearly as strong as Terra and Aqua. It’s demonstrated through their elements, really. Vanitas is fire...

Banri: *stressed, wasn’t expecting a whole lecture, looks to Itaru for help*

Itaru: *nodding along listening to what Citron has to say*

So yeah those are some of my headcanons involving KH and CitoIta (and Banri with minor Mankai mentions.) If anyone wants to do Taichi(who idk could play already, while I haven’t picked any out I know what type of moments would be his faves, I just can’t figure out yet if he prefers characters he relates to or characters he thinks are cool/want to be like) or Kumon (who I’d feel would want to start after seeing them enjoy it, bet Banri and Citron would have him play chronologically by timeline rather than release order “for science”) or any other characters, really, I’d gladly read it. I can see Taichi & Kumon playing KH but I don’t feel like I know them well enough to do this with them lol. I’m not even sure I know Banri well even to this with him but I attempted it lol. If there’s any questions about my decisions I might answer them, some are easier to put into words than others though. 

Anywho, I dunno how to end this post tbh. Ship CitoIta, Play Kingdom Hearts. idk. 

Thanks for reading all of my nonsense lol.

wrt last post (aftersun) reviews collected

https://slate.com/culture/2022/11/aftersun-paul-mescal-movie-ending-meaning-final-shot.html

“Memory is a slippery thing; details are hazy, fickle. The more you strain, the less you see. A memory of a memory endlessly corrupting itself. I’ve caught myself recently claiming that feeling is more robust, but it’s tricky. Because in recalling a point in time and how that moment made you feel, it is framed by a new feeling—the feeling of what that moment means to you now. In Turkish, a language rich in vocabulary not easily rendered into English, ‘hasret’ means some combination of longing, love, and loss. It seems particularly appropriate in this context and to this film.”

https://a24films.com/notes/2022/10/a-note-from-charlotte-wells

---

“The first time I saw Aftersun, I was struck by how upset it made me, but not entirely in the way I’d been prepared for. [...] Wells’ film is so adept at portraying how childhood memories work, plucking out incidents that feel minor, or snatched bits of dialogue that are little more than offhand remarks, and letting them linger in the mind; I can’t count how many of the sharpest memories of my past are of seemingly minor incidents that lodged in my gray matter, for whatever reason.”

https://slate.com/culture/2022/12/best-movies-2022-aftersun.html

---

We tend to think of memories as crystallized moments of time, loosely strung together along the trellises of a drooping chandelier somewhere deep within our mind. And yet, personal experience tells us that our pasts are composed from an infinite swirl of different sources — real and invented — each of them crudely sewn together with the same desperation that our sleeping brains might arrange a billion random neurons into a semi-coherent dream.

Some of those sources are soft as ghosts, and likewise change shape in the shadows. Others are much harder, as still and tactile as a rug on the floor. Both can be evocative, but neither are enough to connect all the dots; not when you’re trying to re-trace someone you loved from the vague silhouette they left behind.

[...]

Wells’ ingenious construction allows “Aftersun” to unfold from a dual perspective that seems to filter it through the eyes of an adult and a child at the same time. We look for discrepancies, scanning the screen for answers to questions that we don’t even know to ask yet until even the film’s most banal images seem rife with secrets.

[...]

[E]ven after watching “Aftersun” four times, I’m still not sure if time will help Sophie come to a better understanding of who her dad was, or if their holiday was the last age when they could possibly have been as honest with each other as they were.

Wells’ film is able to follow its characters through the strobe light of lost time because Mescal and Corio make it so tempting for us to complete their performances for them — to fill in the gaps with the same urgency that we might want to close our own. Few movies have ever ended with a more tempting invitation to do something impossible, but “Aftersun” is so unforgettable because of the agonizing beauty it finds in the futile act of trying.

I often think of the wonderful scene in which Sophie tries to interview Calum on camera, only for her dad to clam up and make her shut it off. “Fine,” she says, “I’ll just record it in my little mind camera.” She doesn’t know it at the time, but it’s a lens she’ll be looking through for the rest of her life; it’s where we look for the people we love when there’s nowhere else to find them.

1., 41. for Regven? :D

1. What were their first impressions of one another?

ven thought he would be a really good source of entertainment. that’s it. like, reg is a fucking mess lol. he’s funny, handsome, loud, aggressive, mentally unstable—just. never boring. she literally never expected to like him, fall for him and open herself up to him like she never has with anyone else. (like. not even ursula knows about what happened between ven and erphee. ursula fucking hates reg and always will, but when she realizes that he seems to know about her past, she’s like “oh god she really does love him”)

i think reg is someone that falls in love at first sight, EXTREMELY rarely, like only octavia and ven in his entire life rarely, but idk. he just strikes me as that kinda guy. obviously he was over the moon when she freed him, but it was just more than that. “oh thank you calistria, i HAVE to make her mine.”

41. What green flags do they have for one another?

uhm honestly i don’t understand this question. like does it mean “what do they like about each other?” or “what does make them feel safe around each other?” i’m just going with the second one, less open.

regs overprotective ass is just good in general at making her feel safe. he is ready to take on anything and anyone who he views as a danger to her and/or their relationship. (he goes overboard a lot. but it’s fine, ven doesn’t mind the occasional murder and torture <3)

ven in comparison is honestly pretty shit lol. when reg has one of his many breakdowns about feeling like she doesn’t need/love him anymore and wanting to leave him, she often doesn’t really know what to do in the beginning. she’s not equipped to handle her own emotions most times, how is she supposed to handle his? i think she just lets him hold her as tight as he can and doesn’t even think about running away, which means a lot coming from her. later on, while it’s still extremely difficult for her, she reassures him that she doesn’t need him/keep him around because he’s good at fighting or something like that, she only needs him because he makes her life so much better, finally helped her accept that she’s an actual person, finally is able to see something else than a blurry puppet in the mirror staring back at her. she’s so glad to be his. his heart.
