So...

That trash anime right?

I may have binged it and now i have so many regrets.

Not because it was absolute and unadulterated garbage, but because it made me feel things man.

It's 2 am and I'm here crying in bed silently trying to not wake my roommate up.

This wasn't the anime i signed up for

gerihalliwellhorner It was our pleasure to have you staying with us for Christmas and New Years. Let's do brunch when you race in Silverstone and maybe we'll be able to escape Christian's racing lectures for a little bit. ↳ rbr_y/nl/n Yes!! I will clear my calendar, anything for you!! ↳ redbullracing RED ALERT RED ALERT RED ALERT THE BOSS IS LOOKING A LITTLE BIT MIFFED INNIT

danielricciardo I've been with the team for 5 years and I haven't been invited? Ever?

|| fatherhood. ||

girldad!kiyoomi x fem!reader; wc: 1.2k of pure struggle; cw: reader is not present in the picture, imagine whatever happened to her, mid 50s kiyoomi, sad ish?, im thawing out cut me some slack, kiyoomi is a gorl dad missing you a/n: fuck you kevin hart, i wanted to watch a comedy movie and not BAWL. alexa play daddy issues

Kiyoomi guesses it’s been a while since he has missed you. 

Kokomi takes up every minute, every second he has to offer— not that he minds it. Maybe sometimes he hates it, hates being so preoccupied with her that forgets to miss you. The last thing he wants to do is forget you, even when he is old enough that his already greying hairs start to fall out.

You’ve been gone for long enough that he has forgotten what you felt like in his arms, how you smelled when he hugged you close to his chest. He hates that his senses are giving up on him.

But he hasn’t forgotten everything about you. He hasn’t forgotten the way you rolled your eyes at him whenever you disagreed, how you always latched onto his arm whenever you got scared watching a horror movie, how you kissed his forehead twice for each mole he has— because she does the same.

Kiyoomi is glad to have Kokomi in his life because everytime he looks at her, he sees you. It’s not a stretch when someone asks if he misses you and he says no, because he never will. He might forget what you feel like but he will never forget you, the you who gave him the best gift in the world, his daughter, his baby. 

The more she grows up, the more she resembles you. As he grows older, he sees Kokomi growing older and it’s bittersweet. He’s proud of her for everything she’s achieved in her life and proud of himself for bringing up his amazing daughter. It was tough at first, balancing his career and her, but with everyone's help, it was possible. It takes a village to raise a child, but what good is a village if it has no head. That’s what he felt like when he was just starting out, he felt lost without you to help him. He had his team, his village, to support him through thick and thin but he used to miss you. 

As the team grew and so did your daughter, he realised everything was indeed good. He feels proud of them as well, Atsumu, Bokuto, Hinata, Komori, everyone. 

He likes to believe you would’ve been proud too— of Kokomi, of the team. 

But he especially misses you today. Seeing your daughter off to college, he remembers your face glowing when you used to talk about milestones of your baby’s life and her going to college.

“Kiyo, she’s gonna be amazing I know it.”

“Yes baby, she will be,” “You have to lay off her though.”

“What”

“I know you'll be crying the day she goes to college and fussing all over her. Ugh, especially with boys”

“No, I won’t. Except boys, I don’t trust those hormone ridden monsters”

“Of course you don't, darling. Because you never were one, right? You were a toddler and straight up went to being an adult.”

And then you rolled your eyes at him the same way Kokomi is doing right now, “Dad, I’m going to be honest with you, I can’t swear off boys. I just can’t–”

“Yes, you can. Promise me.”

“Dad—

“Promise me that you’ll be my little girl forever, never leaving me, ever.”

“We’re literally standing in front of my dorm room. You’re gonna have to leave at some point.” She narrows her eyes at him, still holding onto his hand.

He notices that. There were a lot of things he saw of you in her but she was his daughter too, he notices the way she’s picking at her nails, a nervous habit she’s has had ever since she was 5. She doesn’t want him to leave, not with the grip she has on his hand. 

“You know I am here for you, right?”

“Yes, dad and I love you too.” Never good at words but they both managed, understood each other even though you weren’t there to do the talking for him.

“He’s bein’ mean again, y/n!”

“Tsumu you know he doesn’t mean that, he appreciates the thought you put into this gift.” “Yeah, I’m surprised he could think at all”

“Kiyo!– Tsumu, he means it’s great, he’s just affectionately dumb.”

He takes in a deep breath, the tingling sensation at the back of his throat feels familiar and he lets out a chuckle because he’s really going to cry now. Standing at her dorm room’s door, his heart feels heavy, and he’s looking at her now, ready to start a new chapter of her life, all on her own.

He cups her face and plants a kiss on her forehead, “One for me–” He kisses her temple, his hand holding the back of her head as she reaches out for a hug, “–and one for mom.”

She’s holding onto him tightly now, her fists balled up with the back of his jacket balled up in her fists, she mumbles, “I’m gonna miss you so much, dad. Promise to visit me, please?” 

“Every weekend, Kokomi, I promise.” He smiles and wraps his arms around her, cradling her head as he lets his jacket soak up her tears. He feels happy and he knows you would’ve been happy too and that’s all he needs to know.

Kokomi starts to draw back but he tightens his grip on her, and with a shaky voice, he whispers, “Give your old man a few more minutes more, please sweetheart.” 

Kokomi hums and they both stand there silently, until she breaks the silence with a ‘hey dad?’ and this time Kiyoomi hums in response, pulling away to look at her and finally let go.

“Mom would’ve been really proud of you.” 

Oh.

Kiyoomi doesn’t realise he is crying until he tastes the salty tears in his mouth and Kokomi wipes his cheeks, “And I am proud too. One more thing–” With a smile as she goes on her tippy toes to kiss his moles, “–One from me and one from mom.” 

Kiyoomi guesses it’s fine he didn’t miss you a lot, he never had to.

“And dad?”

“You weren’t serious about the ‘here every weekend’ thing though, right?”

“How much do you wanna bet at least one of your uncles will be here every weekend?”

Kokomi begins to whine in defiance to his response but is interrupted by a wailing Atsumu rushing towards them with Hinata, Bokuto and Komori in hot pursuit.

“Our baby’s all grown up!” Atsumu cries from behind Kiyoomi, sniffling and pushing him out of the way as he rushes to bring Kokomi into a bear hug and pats her head rather desperately, “Don’t forget about us, yeah?? And don’t forget us, we’re all here for ya. Also boy’s are disgustin’, ya won’t like ‘em anyways–”

“Why’s everyone obsessed with tha-”

In a flash, she’s squashed between 4 middle aged men bawling their eyes out and preaching they’re thoughts and views and promising to lay their lives down for her as she starts tearing up with them, telling them to take care of each other as well as her father since she won’t be there everyday.

Looking at this scene, Kiyoomi thinks his village did just fine. Plus he guesses it’s okay he didn’t get to miss you a lot because he believes it’s better to never not stop thinking about someone than miss them.

And he thinks– no he knows, you’re proud of him.

Catgirl on Catgirl violence

Portia and Rosie have some fun in private.

For Day 5 of the Midsummer Masquerade, toys and praise

Contains: some light dom/sub dynamics, toys, teasing, praise, vaginal fingering and penetration, multiple orgasms, playful wrestling and banter Pairing: Portia / Rosie WC: 2,728 .... i went a lil crazy w the dialogue sorry  AN: Today was a little more difficult to write for, not because of the prompt but because I had almost too many ideas! This was fun, I love the gorls.

Full text under the cut! Will also be posted to ao3 later~♥

Rosie laughed as Portia pounced on her, sending them both tumbling to the ground. The red head grinned and giggled as she held herself above her, hands pressing into her shoulders to keep her down.

“Do you think I’m as much of a pushover as some of your other little friends?” Rosie asked as she ran one of her nails lightly over Portia’s freckled cheek.

“No, but I know you like to be my good girl,” Portia said as she wrapped one of many blonde curls around her finger.

“I’m nobody’s good girl!” Rosie growled playfully as she flipped Portia over, both women laughing as they rolled around on the plush rugs all over the floor.  Portia’s cat ears had come askew and were only barely still sitting in her crown of auburn hair. She had been dressed in shades of red and pink, soft furry bracelets and anklets only added to the feline illusion given by her ears and tabby mask. Rosie’s attire was as equally disheveled as they wrestled; and although hers was more subtle, the aesthetic of a lioness was still apparent: from the shiny, tawny colored corset she wore to her hair to her long nails, which she had teasingly said she had spent time sharpening just for the event. It was no wonder why any time they had been near each other during the night there had been jokes made about cat-girl on cat-girl action.

But Portia knew Rosie was shyer than she seemed. If they were going to play,  it was going to be for a very limited audience, if any. As of right now, the only audience they had was one another.

“Oof, naughty!” Portia scolded as Rosie lightly nipped her hand. She shook her finger in the blonde’s face, narrowly  avoiding being nipped again. Rosie just grinned and purred as she squeezed Portia’s thighs as she sat straddling her.

“You know I’ve got to be, just a little bit,” Rosie said, batting her lashes. “I’ve got a reputation, you know! I cannae let it get out that I’m a sweet little sex kitten for jus’ anybody,” she said as she pressed a kiss to the back of Portia’s hand. “You’re special.”

“I know,” Portia winked as her hands started to unlace Rosie’s corset. “Oooh,  I heard you practically mauled a certain nobleman earlier in the night. Really gave him the business.”

“O-oh you heard?” Rosie’s face flushed and her cocky demeanor became more demure. “And he told me that room was sound proof!”

Portia laughed and waved her hand as she tossed the corset aside. “Not literally, don’t worry! But it would be hard not to guess what had happened when he slunk back into the ballroom later covered in scratches. I think milady was worried that one of the menagerie animals had escaped and gone on a rampage.”

Rosie cackled, her teeth gleaming in the amber lights cast by the room’s lanterns. The amulet that rested between her breasts matched the gleam, the tiger's eye stone matched the paint on her nails. Portia couldn’t help but start laughing too as she trailed her hands down Rosie’s chest.

“Well,” Rosie said as she threaded her fingers in Portia’s as the latter squeezed her breasts. “After that viciousness that I in no way claim any responsibility for, I dunnae think my hip is gonna be very happy with me if I get railed on the floor, no matter how soft these rugs are. Can I get on the bed?” She nodded at the canopy bed in the corner. It was the same kind as the most throughout the palace, but that didn’t mean it wasn’t comfortable or nice to fuck on.

“Oh the viciousness?” Portia giggled as she tweaked one of her nipples. “The absolute savagery?”

“The unadulterated violence, even!” Rosie laughed as she propped herself up on her elbow. “I have to stop hanging around your brother, what the fuck is happening to my vocabulary?”

Portia just laughed and shook her head as she pulled her to her feet, her hand playfully squeezing the other woman’s rear as she guided her to the bed.

“You just sit tight for a minute, I’ve gotta grab some stuff.”

“Some ‘stuff’?” Rosie raised a brow as she sat back and brushed Portia’s leg with her foot. “Oooh, am I going to be in trouble?”  

“Oh big time, missy,” Portia laughed and ruffled her hair. “Be a good girl and finish getting undressed for me.”

Portia stepped  away and started rifling through the large, ornate chest against the wall. It too, was similar to the ones found throughout the guest rooms of the Palace on this night, filled to the brim with a variety of sex toys and oils and any other matter of salacious item one could think of needing.  She remembered how very specific The Countess had been about the commission of the chests, about what woods and plating would look best on them as they were as much a part of the atmosphere of the masquerade as anything else. The chests themselves could be easily cleaned and reused, but what on earth were they going to do with the hundreds of toys? That was a lot of rubber dicks to get rid of.

“Portia,” Rosie’s voice was a teasing sing-song from across the room. She looked over her shoulder just in time to be hit by Rosie’s underwear as she sling shot them at her.

“Oh, that ass is mine!” Portia grinned as she slammed the chest shut and hurriedly made her way back to the bed, being careful to conceal what she had taken in a silky towel. Rosie cackled as she jumped up next to her, twirling her hair around her fingers.

“What’s in that thing anyway,” she asked, nodding at the chest across the room.

“Sex toys. Lots of ‘em.”

“Oh, duh…aren’t I smart. Well lemme see what you grabbed!” She made grabby hands at the bundle but Portia shook her head and clicked her tongue.

“One at a time, one at a  time. I wanna see you get so excited you can’t help but wriggle that cute butt of yours.”

One by one, Portia showed off the toys she had picked: A feathered teaser, a wand vibrator big enough that they could share if they angled their hips just right, and a set of three dildos, each longer and thicker than the last. She couldn’t help but grin at the way Rosie bit her lip and stifled a whimper when she saw them.

“Oh, and this of course,” Portia said as she held up a lacy harness. “But that’s not exciting as the other stuff, it's just the supporting role,” she said as she ran her fingers over the sculpted veins of the largest toy.

“It’s cute, can I?” Rosie leaned forward, ready to fasten the harness to her but Portia just shook her head and gently pushed the blonde back by her shoulders.

“In a bit. I told you I wanted to see you get real worked up for me first.” Portia grinned as she twirled the feathery teaser in her fingers. “Lay back and spread out for me.”

Rosie obeyed and laid spread eagle, relaxing into the soft blankets and pillows of the bed, watching through half shut eyes as Portia crawled over her.

“Good girl,” Portia cooed as she pressed soft kisses to Rosie’s throat and chest. “You’re going to be the best girl for me tonight, aren’t you?”

“You know I will,” Rosie said, shivering as the teaser brushed against her thighs. Portia whispered tauntingly dirty things in her ear as she dragged the tool over her, drifting over her tits and between her legs. At some point she eased her fingers into Rosie’s mouth, careful of her teeth and being sure to whisper praises as she sucked on them. She grinned as Rosie mewled and rolled her hips when she brought the tool to rest between her legs, the weight of it applying a teasing pressure.

“Give me a kiss.”

Rosie eagerly obeyed and pressed her lips to hers, whining softly against Portia as her hand slipped between her thighs, moving the teaser aside.

“Do you want me to touch you?”

Rosie quickly nodded and rolled her hips. “Do you even have to ask?”

“I like hearing you ask for it. You’ve got a pretty voice, especially when it's being used to beg,” Portia grinned as she gently pressed against the folds. She was already wet.

“Please dunnae make me,” Rosie whimpered as Portia’s thumb ghosted over her clit. “You know I’ll be a good girl. You know I’ll be your good girl.”

“Oh, you’ll be begging for me at some point, one way or another,” Portia grinned at the way the blonde whimpered and rolled against her hand as she eased her fingers in. Easy, steady pumps just to watch the way Rosie’s eyes fluttered shut and she sighed. Portia  took one of Rosie’s hands in her free ones and pressed it to her breast, guiding it to knead.

“Your titties are so soft,” Rosie murmured. “I’m jealous.”

“What have you got to be jealous of?” Portia asked, grinning as she curled her fingers and made her squirm.

“Mine have more muscle underneath them. They aren’t as soft. They’re comfy but they’re not…” she bounced Portia’s breast gently.  Portia chuckled and shook her head.

“Sit up against the pillows for me,” she said as she slowly withdrew her fingers and reached for the wand. “I really hope this works, and I really hope neither of our legs cramp.” She hooked one of her legs over Rosie’s hips and scooted close until they were almost touching.

“Even if they do, I think it’ll be worth it,” Rosie purred as she eyed the wand in Portia’s hand.

“You think so?” Portia asked, her eyes gleamed with mischief as she watched Rosie bite her lip as she lowered the wand between them. “I want you to try and stay still for me.”

“I thought you wanted to watch me squirm.”

“Oh I do, but I wanna see you break, too.” She grinned at the way Rosie groaned as the wand buzzed to life between them. It took some adjusting, but soon both women were rolling their hips against one another and making pleased, needy noises.

“Please,” Rosie panted, her head lolling back against the pillows. “Portia, please.”

“Are you close?”

Rosie just moaned in response.

Portia grinned. “I am too. You’d better cum with me or you won’t get to at all yet,” she turned up the vibration as her partner hissed needily. She let out a surprised moan as Rosie suddenly looped an arm around her and pulled her close, the only thing separating their bodies now was the head of the wand pressed flush against them. It only took a moment like that for them both to finish, panting heavily and trying to untangle enough to shut the toy off.

“Good girl,” Portia said as she pushed her hair back. Rosie laid back panting, sweat dewy on her skin. “I’m not done with you yet though.”

“I didn’t think so,” Rosie said, opening an eye to stare at the dildos that still lay patiently waiting.

“Put this on me.” Portia instructed, handing her the harness. Rosie leaned forward and started fastening it, all the while Portia hummed and pet her hair. “Now then,” she paused, tilting Rosie’s chin up as she tucked a pale curl behind her ear. “I want you to turn around and get on your knees and present for me.”

As Rosie nodded and did as she was told, Portia took the first dildo and secured it to the harness.

“You’re so red,” she said as she brushed the head of the toy against her entrance. “And all from some fingering and a few minutes with the wand?”

“It felt like a lot longer than a few minutes,” Rosie said. “That and I had a sexy friend to help.”

“Aren’t you sweet,” Portia said as she gave her rear a gentle pat. “But if you thought that felt like a long time, you have no idea what I’ve got planned.”

Before she could respond, Portia rocked into her and started to thrust, strong and steady. She kept the pace even, even when Rosie whined for her to go faster.

“If you want it faster you’ll have to take it bigger, too,” Portia said as she pet Rosie’s flank. “Do you want more?”

“Yes.”

“Yes what?”

“I want you to fuck me with the other cock. The bigger one, please.”

“Very good!” Portia patted her hip as she withdrew and replaced the toy with the next size. “See, begging isn’t so bad when it's for me, is it?”

“You’re nice about it,” Rosie said between whimpered moans as Portia started to thrust into her again.

“I’m only nice because you’re so good for me,” she leaned forward enough to press a kiss to the middle of Rosie’s back. “You haven’t given me a reason to punish you. Yet.”

“No, I’ll be good I promise!” Rosie yelped as Portia slammed to the strap’s hilt. “Please, I’m already close again. Please don’t make me wait.”

“Aw, already?” Portia pulled back and slammed back in, winning a pleased whine. “That’s okay, but I’ll want you to cum again on the next one, too.”

“The next one?” Rosie looked over her shoulder at her.

“There were three, remember? This is only the second,” Portia’s grin was intoxicatingly warm. “I said I wanted to see you squirm.”

“How much bigger is it?”

“Oh, you’ll find out,” Portia said as she gently pressed Rosie’s face back down and started to thrust harder and faster. Soon enough the blonde beneath her was wailing and rocking her hips back just as hard and fast as she was pumping them forward.

“That’s it, that’s my good girl,” Portia pulled out slowly as she continued to murmur soft praises. “Here,” she grabbed one of the pillows and helped Rosie place it underneath herself, taking some of the strain of holding herself up off her knees.

“You ready for the last one?” She asked as she brushed hair out of Rosie’s eyes.

“Can I see it first?”

“Well, since you’ve been so well behaved for me,” Portia reached behind them and grabbed the final unused dildo. “What do you think?”

Rosie’s pupils rounded as she stared at it and bit her lip. “Yeah. I can take it.”

“That’s my girl!” Portia grinned and patted her head before she resumed her place behind her. She poured a generous amount of oil on the length before she slowly eased in, until she nestled to the hilt.

“Fuck, it’s deep,” Rosie hissed, her nails digging into the sheets.

“Is it too much,” Portia’s voice was gentle as she watched her reaction.

“No, it's good. But be gentle with it, please.” She opened her eyes and looked over her shoulder as she felt the toy withdraw.

“Go ahead and roll over,” Portia said as she pressed a kiss to her shoulder. “You’ve been so good for me so I think you deserve to be cuddled. That and my knees are starting to hurt, too.”

They paused to rearrange the pillows before Rosie laid back, arms wrapping around Portia as she eased back in.

“I be you anything all those people would have wanted to see us tear each other up,” Rosie murmured as she placed soft kisses to Portia’s collar. “I like this a lot more. I like the way you handle me.”

“You like the way I handle you or the way I handle this?” Portia gave her hips a small jerk, just enough to win a surprised gasp.

“I think you know my answer,” Rosie murmured as their lips met. “I like anything you give me.”

“Especially strap, huh?”

They both laughed before nuzzling one another and falling into an easy, gentle rhythm. Rosie met her thrusts, each time making the softest of whines that Portia absolutely loved to hear.

“That’s my girl. That’s my good girl,” Portia murmured as she peppered kisses across Rosie’s neck and chest.

Tangled legs, soft words and giggles shared like this, just between the two of  them, seemed to be a perfect way to end the night.

hourglass. we all get an hourglass when we reach 18,, the hour glass doesn't just last for an hour, it ends when you meet your soulmate. we all have a mark, a birthmark, if you will ; whenever your hourglass runs out, your birthmark stings and slightly glows.

my 18th birthday was just one week away. that's all i thought about during the first 20 minutes of me waking up.

"bae y/n! hurry the fuck up and get out of bed before i drag you by your teeth." my sister, bae joohyun or irene, said from the living room. "ugh, fine!" i replied, getting out of the covers. i brushed my hair and quickly got changed into my uniform. i then ran downstairs to see my older sister in the living room. "your breakfast is in the kitchen, now hurry up before we're both late." she said, watching tv. i nodded and walked into the kitchen, seeing a plate full of pancakes. i punched the air in happiness and started digging in.

—

irene and i walked into school together, talking about our upcoming exams. she looked up and saw her friend group, "ayt, kiddo. i'm gonna leave you now, don't get into trouble or i'll rip your hair out." she said in a sweet tone, kissing the side of my head. she then walked away, leaving me dumbfounded. i blinked a few times before going to find my friends, "how the actual hell is she my sister.." i mumbled to myself.

"hey hoes!" you greeted your friends, jumping on lisa's lap. "hey, y/n~" they replied. "what's going on today? anything spicy?"

"fuck yeah, chanyeol and seungwan's hourglass ran out and their marks glowed. then seungwan full on slapped his hourglass out of his hand. the shit broke and now,, no soulmates for them! man, i wonder which one of them dies.." namjoon said, gesturing. my eyes widened, "wait– what? what do you mean?" they all laughed at me, "awh, y/n's still a baby. when your hourglass gets broken on purpose by your own soulmate, then poof, you won't have a soulmate." jaehyun explained. "oh! and one of them dies. most likely," chaeyeon continued, excitedly.

"i- diES??" i asked. "yes, y/n, dies." lisa said, holding your waist. "hoLD THE FUCK UP, SINCE WHEN? AND HOW ARE YA'LL SO CHILL ABOUT THIS??" i asked, freaking out. they shrugged, "meh, i mean, we all die some day?" yoongi replied, chewing on his food. "bRUH, one of them is about to fuCKING DIE! they're like my best friends too, you know!"

"welp, go and.. spend time with them then, i don't know–" the bell rang and they all scattered to class. lisa and i sat there, me still trying to process everything. "y/n/n, you good?"

"lisa, i'm so gonna die." i said, blankly, making her laugh. "oh shut up, i bet you and your soulmate will live happily every after, now come on." she stood up and held her hand out for me, i grabbed it and we walked to science class. lisa and i were babbling on about the other things about soulmates until someone bumped into me.

"dude, watch where the fuck you're go– y/n, y/n, y/n. what a surprise, being a clumsy ass all the time." jisoo smiled, making me roll my eyes. "for your information, you were the one who bumped into me?" i replied, making her scoff. "talking back? kinda new from the bae y/n, what made you–"

"jisoo, stop. she doesn't have time to deal with your bullshit." lisa said, cutting her off. "come on, lisa. we're just having some fun, right, y/n?" she replied, shoving me. "ayt, that's it–" i was about to jump her until lisa pulled me back and our discipline teacher, ms choi came around the corner. "miss bae, miss kim. are you two really doing this again?"

"i- miss choi, i was just messing around with y/n, but she was being a sensitive brat and started to jump at me–" miss choi, sighed. "can you two stay away from each other for a while? it's only monday and i really don't have the energy to deal with you two right now."

the three of us bowed as she walked away. "that's it, bae. it's simple, stay away from me and we both get out of trouble." jisoo smiled. "i hate you so much, kim." i replied, making her giggle. "trust me, y/n. if i told you i hated you with everything in me, that would still be an understatement." she walked into class while i stood there, pissed. "brUH, WHY THE FUCK DOES SHE EXIST–" lisa shushed you, "be quiet and calm down, okay?"

"how the actual fuck am i supposed to calm down? she's so fucking annoying and ugh!" i complained. "y/n, hush. you can be just as annoying" i scoffed at her, "hOW? ME? AS ANNOYING AS KIM JISOO? pFFT YOU'RE FUNNY" she rolled her eyes at me as we walked in the classroom.

jisoo and i had quite a lot of history with each other. our parents were good friends, which resulted in both of our families spending a lot of time with each other. having dinners, having to sleepover at jisoo's house, her having to sleepover at my house, and just everything. but jisoo and i never got along, we would always quarrel and yell at each other. i tried my best to be friendly with her as our parents really wanted the two of us to get along. but the older girl made it so hard for me. she'd tease me, hurt me, make fun of me and would just be a whole brat.

unfortunately, the devil herself was seated behind me, so we spent the whole lesson bickering and dissing each other. "bruh~ can you like shut up for like 5 minutes?" i asked, making her flick the back of my head. "i should be saying the same to you, asshole."

—— no one's pov

"when are you gonna stop lying to yourself, unnie?" jennie asked jisoo as she was eating her lunch. "lying? about what?" she replied, her mouth full of food. "you. you like y/n," jennie continued, making jisoo choke on her food. "okay, i'm sorry, wHAT- aRE YOU STUPID? I'D NEVER LIKE THAT RAT, SHE'S DISGUSTING, BROKE, UNHYGIENIC, UG-"

"you're being too defensive, it's obvious now. you have feelings for bae y/n." seokjin teased, wiping his mouth. "i don't know how i'm friends with you idiots, i do not like bae y/n. in fact, i despise her. hate her, even. she's such a brat and if you think i'd have feelings for someone like her, you're stupid. my standards are not that low, got it?"

they all rolled their eyes, shaking their head. "what ever you say, noona, whatever you say." johnny replies.

"we were born the same year, why are you calling me noona-"

the bell rang and they all scattered off to class. "unnie, do you have your hourglass yet?" rosé asked, making jisoo nod. "i'm a year older than you, i'm already 19, kiddo." chaeyoung squinted her eyes, "so you've been waiting to meet your soulmate for over a year? yikes," jisoo smacked her head, "oh be quiet, i'm sure i'll meet them soon."

"who do you think it's gonna be?" chaeng asked. "do you think i know? there's over 7 billion people on this earth, how am i supposed to take a hunch and guess who it is?" jisoo replies, making rosé hold her hands up. "okay, okay, jeez, calm down~"

"see you after class, weirdo" the younger girl said, walking into her classroom. jisoo continued walking and saw you. she decided it was a good idea to fuck around with you a little, so she walked behind you and pinched your waist. you jumped in pain and turned around, "dude, what the fuck?"

jisoo smiled, bitterly before walking into the classroom. you groaned and did the same thing. you were walking to your seat until jaehyun stopped you and grabbed your wrist, "y/n/n, you turn 18 in 2 days, correct?" he asked, making you nod. "yes? why~?"

"hourglass." he simply replied and winked, before letting your wrist go. you looked at him weirdly and laughed. you got to your seat and glared at jisoo. you sat down and immediately got bothered by her. "jesus, when will you stop?!"

⌨︎︎ one day after

the day went by and the both of you hated each other even more.

thooouughhhhh, you do have a soft spot for the so-called brat. as much as you wanted to deny it, she was gorgeous and at times could be nice.

the day of school ended and you and your friends went over to your house to celebrate your 18th birthday. "y/n's gonna get her hourglass in exactly 7 hours, holy shit." jaehyun said, being dramatic. "oh, shut up." all 6 of you went over to your house, with their stuff to sleepover. "ayt, 6 hours and 35 minutes." jaehyun said, looking at his watch. "jUNG JAEHYUN, SHUT UP. I GET IT" you said pretending to cry. the others laughed, patting your back.

in the house with you, were

lisa, jaehyun, namjoon, chaeyeon and yoongi.

"okay we're gonna go downstairs, stay here for everlasting life." lisa, chaeyeon and yoongi ran downstairs leaving you with joon and jaeyuk.

"i have a feeling y/n's soulmate's gonna be a gORL" jaehyun said out of nowhere. "i- why so suddenly?" you asked, pretending to cry again. "i don't know, man. you kinda gay." he continued.

"okay, it's official. i'm disowning jaehyun." you said, sitting away from him. namjoon stood up and sat back down next to you, "i'm with you on that"

"i'm- come on, dudes! y/n is kinda gay."

"no you"

mEaNwHiLe~

chaeyeon, lisa and yoongi were attempting to bake a cake for y/n. notice how i said attempting.

"uhh.. 5 1/4 cups of flour." lisa said, staring at her phone and pouring the flour in the bowl.

"you mean 2?" yoongi asked.

"huh?"

"2 1/4 cups of flour." he replied.

"oh.. well shit."

"LISA-"

"i'M SORRY, I THOUGHT-"

"iDIOT"

"YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME SOONER-"

"ladies, ladies! let's settle this in an orderly manner, alright?" chaeyeon said, holding them both back. "did you just call me a lady-"

"yOU DILDOS, ITS CHAOS DOWN HERE. HURRY THE FUCK UP AND GEt yOUR SHIT TOGETHER! Y/N IS SUFFERING WITH JAEHYUN, SPARE HER" namjoon shouted, scolding them.

"SIR, YES, SIR!" they all shouted in unison, saluting. "that's better, now get to work!" namjoon ran back upstairs, going into your room. "back~ they just needed some adjustments."

"what are they doing anyways?" you asked. "honestly, i have no clue. but you'll find out later."

"wow, okay-"

"hm, yeah, definitely gay."

"jaehyun, if you call me gay one more time, i will slap the remaining brain cells out of your brain."

"the birthday girl is being so aggressive, sheesh." jaehyun said, shaking his head. "you two are kids, my god"

——

"5 MINUTES! 5 FUCKING MINUTES!" jaehyun yelled, making all of you laugh. you spent the last few hours bickering and playing games with your friends. lisa, yoongi and chaeyeon ran back downstairs as the clock was about to turn 12.

they came back with a cake, surprising you. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, haPPY BIRTHDAY, Y/N!" they yelled, making you smile widely. "bLOW, mAKE A WISH." you closed your eyes and made a wish.

'i wish to be able to live a happy life with my soulmate.'

*blow*

"YAY!"

^dING DONG*

"tHATS HER HOURGLASS" jaehyun screamed. "gET DOWN THERE."

you ran downstairs and opened your front door. you were immediately greeted by a small box with your initials on it. you picked it up and ran back upstairs. "OOH, OOH OPEN IT!"

you opened the box and pulled your sacred hourglass out. "AWH, IM SORRY, Y/N. WE AREN'T SOULMATES" lisa apologised, making you laugh. "welp, i guess we gotta wait." all of you decided to call it a night – after eating the cake. obviously.

⌨︎︎ the day after y/n's pov

the six of us reached school together, bickering on the way. "oh, y/n/n, did you bring your hourglass today?" yoongi asked, making me shake my head. "no– should i have?"

"who knows? you might meet your soulmate at school. your mark only glows when you have your hourglass, mate. your soulmate might meet you and their mark glows, but then their hourglass is still going cuz you don't have yours. selfish rat." jaehyun replied, smacking my head.

"i'm- why the fuck am i only learning about this?"

"because you're uncultured, now let's get to class."

i was walking with lisa and jaehyun to our english class when someone pulled me back. "well if it isn't the birthday girl, happy birthday, sweetheart" jisoo smiled at me, making me roll my eyes. "thanks? but did you just-"

"i'm kidding, bae. i couldn't care less about your birthday and you are definitely not a sweetheart. i'm just excited for you to meet your soulmate and die."

"what the fuck is wrong with y-"

"fuck-" "ouch-"

jisoo and i yelled in pain at the same time. i looked down to my wrist and saw my mark glowing a bright white through my shirt, while jisoo looked at her waist, the same thing happening to her.

we then looked at each other in horror,

"nonono"

"wait, what the fuck"

jisoo rummaged through her bag finding her hourglass, "it's still running. why is my mark glowing"

i suddenly remembered what my friends had told me,

'you might meet your soulmate at school. your mark only glows when you have your hourglass, mate. your soulmate might meet you and their mark glows, but then their hourglass is still going cuz you don't have yours. selfish rat.'

'nonono, there's no fucking way that jisoo is my soulmate' i thought, panicking.

"where's your hourglass." jisoo asked, strictly. "a-at home." i replied. jisoo looked around to see if anyone else's marks were glowing. to her luck, there were two other people, looking just as shocked and confused as we were.

my sister joohyun and seokjin. "wait-"

"nah, look man. there's no way we're soulmates, i'm gay as fuck"

"w-wait, my hourglass is still going. and come on, lady, look at me. i'm gorgeous, hot, sexy. you're lucky if you had me as a soulmate." jin replied, pointing at himself.

"bae! kim! over here!" jisoo yelled, making them look at the both of us. seeing that we were in the same situation, they ran over. "okay, so there might be a small, itty bitty possibility that we have our soulmates mixed up right?" jisoo asked, making irene nod. "i mean, i guess, but the possibilities are that you're soulmates with y/n/n, jin or me. and the possibilities with jin are the same. y/n and i only have two possibilities because we're siblings"

"unless the world wants us to make incest a thing" i replied, smirking at her. she smacked my head, making me yelp. "ah! jeez, i was kidding, you rat"

"if it's jin and me, why haven't our hourglasses run out yet?" jisoo asked.

"but if it's me and irene, why haven't ours run out yet?"

"uh- you see.. my sister and i have a thing for leaving things at home – even when we're supposed to bring them.." she replied.

i shook your head, still processing everything.

"jesus, typical baes. bring your hourglasses tomorrow and we'll meet at the bleachers at exactly 8:40 am, you got it?" jisoo demanded, shocking all of you. "wow, ms bossy pants"

"shut the fuck up, y/n. my life is already ruined knowing that there's a slight chance that you're my soulmate." she hissed before walking away to class.

"weLL OUCH"

——

i did the same thing, walked to class with jaehyun and lisa babbling about what just happened. "yo, what the fuck do i do?" i asked panicking. "nothing, you're just gonna hope that your soulmate is jin or joohyun-"

"JIN, JUST JIN."

"yeah whatever."

after school ended, my sister and iwent back home babbling about our possible soulmates and kinda just fell asleep.

the next thing i knew, it was the next day and i had to get ready and bring our hourglasses.

"ayt, bleachers, bleachers, bleachers. FOUND THEM." we walked over to the bleachers with jisoo glaring at the both of us. "you're two minutes late."

"i- BRUH WHAT THE FUC-"

"both of you better shut up before i make you. it's so early in the morning, please don't argue now." right on cue, all our marks started glowing, making the four of us yelp in pain. in a hurry, i took your hourglass out, seeing it had just finished. i looked at all three of them seeing that the same happened to them. "ugh, how the fuck do we figure this out now?" jin asked.

"uh, okay. jin, go to the other side of the field with y/n and i go with irene. if our marks stop glowing, then we aren't with our soulmates, okay?" jisoo demanded, making us nod. seokjin grabbed my hand, running to the other side. i blushed slightly, kind of hoping that my soulmate was him. we reached the other side of the football field, panting. jin still hadn't let go of my hand. we both looked at our marks, the light slowly fading away. jin and i sighed at the same time, "listen, y/n. we might not be soulmates, but i kind of wished that were. whoever has you as his or her soulmate is lucky – i kinda wanna be jisoo right now" he laughed. i giggled, squeezing his hand, "i'm thinking the same thing, jinnie. but fuck, i'm gonna have to live with jisoo? my god" the both of us laughed at each other running back to the others. "well.. uhm.. i guess y/n and i are gonna do the same.." jisoo said, avoiding eye-contact. i nodded, awkwardly as irene and jin started to run away. jisoo and i walked to the other side, quietly. i grabbed her wrist before she could walk any further, "what do you wan-"

"why do you hate me so much? what did i ever do to you? all i've ever done was try to be your friend, why is that so bad?" i asked, angrily. she looked at me, shocked. i've never actually yelled at her before, so this might've been a shock to her. "i-i'm.. just shut up." she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the other side of the field. "jisoo, i mean it. we might be soulmates, you're gonna have to stop being an asshole to me sometime soon."

she ignored me and just kept walking, i sighed and let her drag me. at this point, we were on the other side, and our glows continued glowing. we looked at our hourglasses, seeing it was still the same state, it finished running. we looked at each other in fear,

"w-we're.. we're soulmates, jisoo." i whispered. she stood there, staring at your marks and hourglasses. "nono.. t-this.. it can't be. y/n, i can't fucking do this–"

"jisoo, you have no choice–"

"but i do" she said, confusing me. "j-jisoo?"

"FUCK, Y/N. THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" she screeched, slapping my hourglass onto the floor. in almost slow motion, i watched it shatter, all the sand spilling everywhere. "JISOO-" before i could do anything, my mark started glowing a bright red, it felt like someone was burning me while sticking a knife into my stomach. i fell onto the floor, shocking jisoo. "oh my god, y/n!" she shouted, rushing to your side. "fuck, fuck, fuck. are you okay?" she asked, making me scoff. "r-really? you're gonna ask me if i'm okay? you literally just killed me. you fucking killed me, i'm gonna die because of your childishness and your stupid hatred towards me!" i yelled, the pain on my stomach eating me up. irene and seokjin started running towards us, "what the fuck?! what the fuck just happened?!" joohyun asked, obviously worrying about me. she looked down at the shattered glass and then looked back up at jisoo, "you did this, didn't you? huh?! you broke my sister's hourglass?! do you fucking know what's going to happen to her?! what the fuck is wrong with you!" she screamed, pushing jisoo harshly. jin pulled her back, trying to calm her down, "i-i'm–"

the bell then rang, making jisoo run off. irene and jin helped me stand up, i looked down at my hourglass sadly. "how long do i have left?" i asked, weakly. "u-usually around a week.." jin replied, sadly. "no, NO! there must be a way to fix it! y/n, you can't fucking die" irene said, tearing up slightly. i chuckled, "it's fine, unnie. i still have a week." she smacked my head, "don't joke around! you're gonna- no, you're not. i swear i'm gonna kill h-"

"no, no, you aren't. she doesn't want me as her soulmate and i understand that." i replied calmly. "y/n, because of her selfish ass, you're dying. i'm not letting you just– fuck. let's just get to class"

no ones pov

the whole day was spent with your friends crying and getting pissed by jisoo. jisoo avoided you the whole day, not even looking at you. the next day of school was just as sad and pathetic, but jisoo was regretting it. so bad.

"guys, there's gotta be a way to undo it. there fucking has to. i-i can't let her die.." jisoo said, crying in her hands. "unnie, why did you do it in the first place?" jennie asked, kind of angry at her older friend. "i-i.. thought that it would make my feelings go away, make me braver.. but it's just killing me inside. i love her and i don't know what to do."

right at that moment, you walked into the cafeteria weakly, holding onto lisa for support. jisoo immediately stood up and ran to you. "y/n!" she engulfed you into a tight hug, making lisa push her away. "what the fuck do you think you're doing?! do you think you can just do that after what you did to her?!"

"i- look, i need to talk to her"

"jisoo, back off. you've caused enough damage and now we're about to lose our friend." yoongi said, calmly. "guys, it's fine. let us talk.." you replied, quietly. the kim silently thanked you, grabbing your hand and bringing you somewhere private.

"talk." you said, strictly. "y/n, you have no idea how sorry i am. the whole thing was just me trying to show myself that i was strong, but it just made me feel and look like a coward. y/n, i love you. i really do and i'm sorry i wasn't able to let you know. i'm trying to do everything i can to fix it, i'm so so sorry, please forgive me"

"jisoo, i'm.. i have 4 days left. we've looked everything up and there's no way to fix it as of now. i- i'm not gonna say i forgive you, but.. i kind of do? i don't know. it's all good–"

"y/n, you're dying. it's not fucking okay! and it's all my fault, i'm- i won't- i can't live without you." you chuckled, making her look up at you. "jisoo, hush. i'm the one who can't live without you,, literally. till then.. let's uhm, have 4 days together?"

"not just 4 days, y/n-"

"jisoo, you need to understand that that's all i have left. there's not possible way to.. un-kill me.. lmao i'm funny." you giggled, making her smack your arm. "y/n! stop joking around! i-i'm gonna find a way, i-i promise."

"as i said a second ago–"

"ayt, talk's over. talk.. later or something, we're going to class." lisa said, dragging you. "b-but we have the same classes–" you started, but lisa ignored you and continued to drag you. "lisa–"

"bye jisoo~" she said, not looking back. the day was spent by lisa dragging you away from jisoo, which kind of irritated you, but you just brushed it off.

the few days after, you were just being your usual and cheerful self, also being able to talk to jisoo. our friend groups kinda merged into one after the two of you kept spending time with each other. "ayt, imma head home." you said, making everyone groan. "no~ just stay for a bit longer." mingi whined. you laughed at him and stood up, "i'll see you guys tomorrow." you said, smiling at them weakly.

'there is no tomorrow' you thought.

"yeah, okay. see you tomorrow, y/n/n! we all love you~ especially jisoo–" johnny said, making jisoo hit his arm. "oh wait, it is true, i don't know why i hit y-"

you kissed the too of jisoo's head, quietly telling her to stop babbling. you hugged and kissed ( cheeks shush ) all of them "bye losers"

"bye~!"

you turned around, grabbing your stuff and rushing off. tears started forming in your eyes knowing that it's your last time seeing them.

during the past few days, you've been trying to be as positive, funny and cheerful as possible. you hoped and wanted it to make your friends forget about your misfortune and short life. tomorrow is your last day, last day of breathing, last day of seeing, last day of hearing, last day of feeling. once tomorrow comes, you will just fade away as if you never existed. your parents and sister knew about it and how you didn't want any of your friends to remember, they respected your wish and kept their lips shut about it.

you arrived at home, your family members immediately bringing you into a tight embrace. "let's get you dressed, sweetie."

you took a shower and got dressed in your favourite hoodie and shorts. your parents and sister teared up whenever they looked at you smiling and laughing, their hearts ached knowing that after tomorrow, they wouldn't be able to hear your adorable and happiness-giving laugh and your beautiful smile that could bring light to universes. once night arrived, they covered you in kisses and showered you with love.

"goodnight, my beautiful star." you father said, caressing your hair as he used to do when you were younger. you smiled at him and held his hand. "goodnight, angel. we'll– we'll see you tomorrow, love." your mother whispered softly, kissing your forehead. "goodnight everyone,, i love you all. so so much" your parents left the room, but your older sister stayed by your side, crying her eyes out. "y/n,"

"unnie, i know. shhh, you'll be fine–" you started, holding her hand. but she cut you off, "no! i won't be okay! y/n, you've been there for me ever since you were born and you complete me. you're my best friend, my baby, my sister. and tomorrow.. i'm gonna lose you forever. do you think i'm gonna be okay after that?!"

tears started building up in your eyes, making you look away. "unnie.. i- i know. i'm so sorry.. i- i don't want to go, you know that. but i'll always be with you. you know that, right?"

"b-but, y/n/n-"

you brought her into a hug, shutting her up. "it's okay.. besides i still have the morning with you–" she slapped your arm, "stop joking around!" you giggled, "yeah okay, now shush and get to sleep."

"goodnight, y/n"

"night, unnie."

—

you woke up, feeling groggy as ever. you slowly got up, making sure not to hurt yourself even more. "morning, loser" your sister greeted, making you flinch in shock. "iM- SINCE WHEN WERE YOU HERE"

"i was waiting for you to get up,, i don't wanna leave without seeing you awake" irene said, sadly. you took her hand and made her look at you, "you've been the greatest sister and best friend i could ever ask for. i love you and i'm always gonna be here with you, now go before you're late for school." she kissed your forehead, caressing your hair. "i love you so much, you loser. take care of me and yourself up there, ayt?"

you nodded, holding your tears back. irene pulled away, walking out of your room. you sighed and went over to spend some time with your parents.

——

the second irene stepped into school, she ran where your friends wouldn't be able to find her. she spent the whole day avoiding them, until the end of the day.

joohyun was sneaking out of school, until your friends finally found her. they crowded her, asking where you were. she started panicking and was having a hard time thinking of an excuse, "uhh.. she's.. just sick. don't worry about it." she replied, making jisoo's brain start working. "FUCK" she pushed everyone out of the way, getting into her car. "fuckfuckfuck, y/n, fuck!"

[  that sounds wrong :(  ]

she punched her steering wheel, before speeding off to your house. ,,,

she ran to your door, knocking aggressively. your mother opened the door, her eyes swollen, not knowing who it was, "may i help y-"

"jisoo?"

she observed her godmother, confused as ever, but she let it slide as she needed to see you. "miss bae, please let me see y/n, i-i found a way!" she pleaded, making your mum look at her sadly. "l-look, jisoo–"

"hyeri, let the girl in." your father spoke, making the mentioned lady look back. she nodded and opened the door wider. "thank you so much!" jisoo replied. she ran to your room, opening the door. "y/n, i found a w–"

her heart dropped and stopped when she saw you laying on the bed, pale as ever. "y/n, hey." she said, running to your side and holding your cold hand. your eyes opened slowly, smiling as you saw the girl next to you. "j-jisoo, hey"

"y/n.." she started, tears beginning to form and fall from her eyes. "i-i.. i love you." you whispered, making jisoo shake her head. "nonono, y/n, stop! i-i found a way, i just need some time–" you laughed at her, weakly. "that's one thing i don't have, chu. time. i only have a little bit until–"

"y/n, no! please, i-i swear. i'm gonna–"

"you know one thing i love about us?" you asked, "n-no.." she replied. "how we always cut each other off. it's kinda cute"

she giggled, making you smile. "jisoo, i don't want you to do anything. just.. stay here with me, okay?" she looked at you with such intent, everything she wanted, she needed, she loved, was right in front of her eyes, and she was about to witness her wither away. "o-okay.."

the two sat in silence for two minutes before y/n spoke up. "i love you, jisoo. i forgive you, you know that, right?"

the mentioned girl then broke down, shocking you. "h-hey, i'm sorry, i didn't–" the older girl placed her lips onto yours, spilling at the sadness and pain into the kiss. you kissed back, you smiled slightly, glad that you were able to share your last moments with your soulmate. you pulled away when you felt your mark stinging, "j-jisoo, i-i love y-you–" you squeezed her hand, smiling.

"no, y/n, no.. please no, y/n" she pleaded, holding your hand. your grip started loosening, making her onto you tighter. "baby, no. y/n, h-hey. stay with me. hey"

your eyes started to feel heavy and everything was fading away. "i love you" you whispered, before you took your last breath and your time had come. your hand let go of jisoo's, making her panic. "no, baby, please no," she cried,

your parents heard her sobs, making them barge into the room. their hearts dropped and your father immediately brought your mum into his arms as she sobbed, "my angel, my beautiful angel"

"y/n, please. come back.." she sobbed.

"i love you too"

Character I find most attractive: i feel weird about this question seeing as I'm literally twice these characters' ages fjdsfhjskh i guess suiko if she were ten years older

Character I would marry: ^

Character I would be best friends with: i know she's a really minor background character, but akari (misaki's friend). she has a lot of patience with someone as demure as misaki and genuinely cares for her friends.

A random thought: the psyqualia users are autistic. you can't change my mind.

An unpopular opinion: i don't think i have any? maybe that asia circuit wasn't as bad as everyone led me to believe it was going to be lol (don't get me wrong there were some fights that i just skipped out of boredom but as a whole, it had some interesting cray lore)

My canon OTP: kaichi is about as canon as it's gonna get, like

Non-canon OTP: misakou... gorls

Most badass character: naoki unreversed almost the entirety of miyaji academy singlehandedly... i think that's pretty badass

Pairing I am not a fan of: misaki/aichi or misaki/kai...

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): kourin... they gave her a lot of buildup about how important her time with the cardfight club was, and how she did everything she did during LJ and LM so she could keep those precious memories and in the end she didn't even! get to keep her memories! not even a cameo in G!

Favourite friendship: kai and miwa... even though i like it as a ship too, miwa is literally always looking out for kai's best interests. when he was reversed, he recognized that what he was doing was wrong, but continued doing it simply because he didn't want kai to be alone anymore. perfect boy, perfect friendship.

Send me a ship and I'll tell you... [kaichi]

when or if I started shipping it: like, immediately lol i am eternally a sucker for rival ships and this one hit all my needs right off the bat

my thoughts: that one act of kindness from 12 year old kai giving the shy, bruised, and broken aichi a rare trading card with the belief that "if you just imagine you can be as strong as this knight, you will be" really set the world on a path toward utter destruction and i find that perfect

What makes me happy about them: they are literally soulmates. like, kai literally refers to aichi as his eternal soulmate. no matter how much they hurt each other, their capacity to love and forgive and move on together is so strong.

What makes me sad about them: they both hurt each other so much out of their insecurities that they struggle to accept that the other loves them, or is even capable of loving them, for a long time. when they finally realize it, kai is graduating and moves to france and aichi goes to america for university. they are apart for so long, but their love will always bring them together again :,)

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: kai being some kind of aggressive sexual partner... he's shy and insecure and takes ten years to muster up the courage to hold aichi's hand (aichi beats him to it)

Things I look for in fanfic: kai written in-character. nothing makes me back out of a fic faster than kai being aggressively jealous or... aggressive in general toward aichi. he can be cold or distant, but there's just this way some people write him that turns me way off.

My kinks: they are both happy

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: endgame, i think miwa for kai and gaillard for aichi. both are loyal and devoted to their happiness, and i think that would be good for everyone involved.

My happily ever after for them: happily married with two cats and a dog and kai is a retired vanguard pro in his 30s who becomes head chef at a fancy restaurant while aichi is a university professor of astronomy

Give me a character and I'll tell you... [Sendou Aichi]

How I feel about this character: i love him. he is a well-written character whose trauma of being bullied and physically beaten by his classmates still affects his painfully shy demeanor and relationships with others as he tries to make friends. this is particularly noticeable early on in his relationship with kai, which is a fairly unhealthy obsession culminating in his being overwhelmed by the power of psyqualia to prove to kai that he is "worthy" of kai's attention. he loves and cares for his friends but often at his own expense, as is the case in legion mate.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: kai, ren, naoki, gaillard

My non-romantic OTP for this character: kourin, misaki

My unpopular opinion about this character: he's a top

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: not even a hug. virgins made this anime.

My OTP: kaichi

My OT3: kai/ren/aichi or kai/gaillard/aichi

[elrielllll]

I just want to help

A/N: Hey guys! So this is an extra scene from one of my previous mini fics, I just want to help. Remember that?😅 You don’t have to read the other 3 parts to understand this one, but if you fancy some elriel angst- it’s right here !

I missed writing these two in this universe so much, so I hope you enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~

She was tired. She was sick of it. She was fed up. And she wanted out. Those were the thoughts that were running on repeat through Elain’s head. 

It was midnight, or sometime after that, she wasn’t really sure, and she was alone. She was in the garden, eyes closed, letting the night's wind kiss her cheeks, feeling the gentle sting as it touched the tracks the tears had left on her skin. The robe she was wearing was thin, it was the first one she’d come across and Elain couldn’t bear to go back inside, and her toes curled into the damp soil in protest to the thought. 

Why did he do this? 

Elain… she just didn’t understand. She only wanted to help him, to heal him, to make him see that he had a friend. 

He’d come home injured. It...it had physically hurt Elain to see him in pain. Alone. In pain. And then he let her heal him and she’d thought that she may have finally gotten through to him, broken past the harsh words, looks, the dismissals. She knew of course, that it was all an act, a defence but it had knocked her back time and time again. He had said thank you. That she did a good job and she helped him. 

But then he’d closed the door in her face, and with the sound of the lock clicking the echoes of his past words floated towards her. 

I don’t want you here.

Leave. 

I don’t. Want to be friends with you.

I don’t want your help. 

Usually less would have put her off. But that wasn’t the worst thing. No, the worst was how they clanged around in her hollow chest. Elain wished that she could say that it was a new feeling for her, but of course it wasn’t. But maybe- maybe worse than that was the look he’d gotten in his eyes when she’d told him she wasn’t going to let him push her away. 

“I’m not going anywhere Azriel. You can push me away all you like but I’m not going anywhere. I’ve already got shot for you, what worse is there?”  

“A lot.” 

“Then I guess I’m going to find out.” 

And it was there- right there in his eyes. Hope

“You should leave.” 

“Probably.” 

“I don’t want you here.” 

“That’s a shame. Because I’m not going.” 

And again- hope. 

“You’re staying?” 

“Yes.” 

Hope. 

It was that memory- of that hope that seemed to haunt her more than anything else. It was like she was an addict, she wanted more and more of it until his eyes were shining like honey and the cloud of doubt was gone. Through all this, even if she was crying, in the garden, in the middle of the night because of him…she couldn’t hate him. And she still couldn’t stay away. 

Elain could fight for something just as well as anybody else. 

And she truly believed that he deserved a chance. 

Slowly, through all this thinking, her breathing had evened out and the tears had stopped. She felt strangely at peace. It was odd, and there was no way for her to describe why she felt like that, how on earth she wasn’t angry or upset, she didn’t know. 

Maybe it was her visions? Maybe they knew something she didn’t yet. Maybe he was worth it. 

Lots of maybes and no certainties. That seemed to be Elain’s new certain. 

The wind picked up the speed, whipping around her bare ankles and she shivered, opening her eyes and pulling her robe tighter around herself. She was aware of her hair falling out of it’s messy braid but she didn’t have the effort to move it. Then the gust of wind died away, and in its place was measured footsteps. 

They whispered on the grass and a single shadow coiled around her foot. She smiled down at it gently, fondly almost. She was fascinated by them, how they worked, why and where they came from and why this one in particular seemed to like her. Much the same questions she had for the male they belonged to- though perhaps excluding the last one. 

She was tired. She was sick of it. She wasn’t really fed up. She didn’t want out. 

A throat cleared lowly behind her and she lifted her head. She stayed quiet, and slowly, so slowly he moved to her side. 

Elain felt like she was moving through water, like the peace she’d felt was making her sluggish as she glanced to where he stood. He was close enough that she could reach out to him and touch his hand. 

She didn’t. 

He didn’t speak, and he didn’t look at her. So she didn’t speak and she didn’t look at him. Instead she looked at the patch of poppies that had been struggling recently. They were doing better now, a lot better. It had seemed that an extra bit of love and time was all that they’d needed. 

A rough sound from her right caught her attention. She let her gaze flick to Azriel and saw him swallow heavily before clearing his throat for the third time that night. So Elain took pity on him. 

“How’s your side? A lot of pain?” 

He didn’t look at her when he spoke. She thought that perhaps he was seeing his own Elain right in front of him. 

“No,” he said roughly. “No, you did a really good job. Thank you.” 

Elain dipped her head. “Of course.” 

There was a pause and the air sat heavy between them. Then he said: “ you’re crying.” He must have looked at her then. Elain was uncomfortable with how much that made her feel. 

“I was,” she said simply and she caught him nodding tightly out of the corner of her eye. His shoulders tensed. 

“I-” he started- then stopped himself. His jaw clenched and his shadows drew closer to him. The one by her foot remained. 

“Why are you here Azriel?” Elain finally asked. She was tired. She was sick of it. 

He was silent for a long time. Maybe thinking, maybe ignoring her, she didn’t know. 

When he spoke, it was so low that she barely caught it. 

“I don’t want to be alone.” 

Elain wasn’t sure that she’d heard him correctly. But then he spoke clearer. “I don’t want to be alone anymore.” Maybe it was the garden that made him open, showing her the faintest hint of himself through that fissure that she’d managed to create. He said it again, to her this time. 

“I don’t want to be alone.” 

“You don’t have to be.” 

Azriel glanced at her in surprise, and in all honesty, Elain was surprised by herself too. That was normally the kind of thing she said in her head and kept for her alone. 

“You don’t have to be alone Azriel,” she repeated, taking in a deep breath that tasted of flowers. 

His voice was like silk. “Are you lonely?” 

Elain didn’t want to pretend. “Sometimes. But I’m working on it.” 

That seemed to strike him. He didn’t speak for a while and she didn’t push him.

Eventually he moved towards her, his shadows moving until they encased them both. 

“You’re cold,” he said and Elain couldn’t help the smile. 

“And you’re very observant.” 

Maybe his smile was like a whisper and that was why she couldn’t hear it. He lightly shrugged out of his jacket and held it up tightly between his hands. “May I?” he asked and Elain nodded. He reached around her to drape the jacket over her and Elain’s breath caught as his breath brushed her cheek and his fingertips lightly trailed her arms. The scent of him surrounded her and she couldn’t fight to keep her eyes from fluttering closed. 

He was gone as soon as he arrived. As he stepped back he told her, “I have to go. I’m sorry.” With a powerful beat of his wings and a new gust of wind he took off, leaving her to watch his silhouette against the bright night sky. 

Elain thought that maybe his apology was for more than just leaving. 

She snuggled further into his jacket, warm from his body and let herself feel covered by his scent. It was heavy, like he was here with her. 

Elain was about to walk back inside when she felt a tickle on her ankle. Looking down she saw that he’d left that little shadow with her. A smile pulled on her lips and she gripped the lapels of his jacket tighter. 

She was tired.

[vulpiximisa]

here is a post of Why I Like Nanamaru Sanbatsu which may or may not also be a Reasons Why You Should Watch Nanamaru Sanbatsu but it’s not made with the intent of persuasion and more of me just gushing over things because this isn’t spoiler friendly

1) Niche Sport

I’m not a stranger to “Sport but it doesn’t involve Ball or Sweat”. That’s a lie, the players sweat a lot in Chihayafuru. The fact that Sasaijma (and then another character in the later chapters in the manga) refer to Karuta is a reason enough to pick up the series. Hikaru no Go was one of my earlier sports anime as well. It’s not like I was a fan of Go or Karuta either but the way the characters wholeheartedly loved what they were doing (and competitively), it made me love it as well. The same definitely goes for Quiz Bowl. While the two I listed were something I completely had no clue how the rules go, Quiz Bowl is a bit more obvious so it’s easier to get into.

(kinda hate these promo pics because there looks like so many fcking charas but really you just need to remember like 5 of them)

2) Nerdy Protag in a Sports anime

Actually coming from YowaPeda, Crunchyroll recommended this amongst other things. YowaPeda did the trope a lot better, given that you’d never associate an Otaku with Biking while a Bookworm being associated with Quiz Bowl does not seem unheard of. But the idea of a nerdy protagonist in a competitive sport was still an allure. 

And oops, I think Koshiyama is a cutie so there’s a huge bias towards that. The fact that Horie Shun who voices Enta Jinnai from Sarazanmai voices Koshiyama Shiki gave me a laugh and he actually fits his role very well. Further emphasizes his cuteness without Enta’s weird gay crush lol

3) Ishikawa Kaito

I’m not above watching anime for seiyuu reasons alone but I actually went in blind with this series and to my surprise one of my favs was in it. I’d known Kaito mostly for Kageyama Tobio first, but he’s gone through so many other roles that I enjoy (Kaki from Pokemon SM, Iida from BokuHero, Mimura Subaru from 2.43) and I’ve watched a lot of seiyuu events/radios with him so I’m just a big fan of him in general. Dunno if I should have just merged this point with the next but-

4) Mikuriya Chisato

Kaito has The Range and can do whatever role he wants (I’m most impressed by his role as Alan from BNA) but I think I have a weakness for when he’s slightly an asshole. Mikuriya gave off the generic rival trope, which he kind of is. I got some Subaru vibes from him as well. I don’t know if he’s canonically handsome, but yes I think he’s very good looking for an anime character. Plus the fact that he’s The Cool Guy but is participating in such a sport as Quiz Bowl. AND the moe gap that is his feminine sounding first name and the possibility that he might also actually be an otaku is 👌👌👌👌

My friend had tagged something with him as “Chazz Princeton with a haircut” and while Not Entirely, he is the “We are not friends, we are rivals but I interact and help you enough that we are practically friends but i will continue to deny it” and I love that trope. The way he’s so not interested in Gorls or Nonsense reminds me of Manga Manjoume, though nowhere as serious because he is not above nonsense himself.

5) Fukami Mari

The moment she was introduced, I had very low expectations for her. Of course she is the one that drags Koshiyama into the Quiz Bowl world BUT she doesn’t fall into the trope of “Female is very good at The Thing, BUT Newbie Male MC does it better than her almost immediately”. I’m so glad for that because as you go on with the series, she is very much an entire character and not just a female support cast. 

She loves Quiz Bowl but she’s not the best or even very good at it. Her childhood friend from another school (which I was 75% betting that it was going to be a male and a potential love interest) turned out to be a female friend. Instead of “cat fight”, they are still very amicable towards each other and support each other but also acknowledge each other as rivals. The fact that Yuki had only started Quiz Bowl because of Mari but liked it enough to continue on by herself, I think that’s really great. 

The anime doesn’t get to it, but she confronts her brother about why he quit Quiz Bowl and challenges him. She has her own goals and ambitions and you see her working on it. She also has her strengths and weaknesses and is a vital addition to the Buzou Quiz Team. Fukami Mari is A Good Girl and I won’t tolerate any slander towards her. The way the beginning of the series sexuallizes her via putting her and Koshiyama into generic anime situations is so uncomfortable but I’m glad they move past that later.

Also since their group isn’t technically a Club (?) Mari isn’t just Female Manager. A plus to Quiz Bowl being Co-Ed sport.

6) Quiz Questions

I like trivia. It’s a little harder to guess the questions along with the anime because you’d have to pause all the time and half the time the contestants are going to buzz in early before you hear the entire question. Unfortunately, unless you actually are a fan of random knowledge or a huge nerd, the questions might actually be hard as well. I literally only knew about 3 questions asked in the entire series and its the anime/manga related ones lol. Still, I enjoyed seeing the characters draw their conclusions and to know what each character’s strong and weak points were. (Mikuriya using Math to calculate the Day of the Week from the past was 😚👌)

7) Side Characters

The first one I’m thinking is obviously Sonohara Akira. The moment of his first appearance, I had a hunch that it wasn’t exactly as it looked. He’s a little schemer but he has his own code of ethics, so he’s not all that bad. (Also hes A Gamer, so Relatable.) The fact that he’s related to Sonohara of Asagaoka makes it all the more interesting because they're’ so different. The way everyone reacts to him is so interesting because he doesn’t take it seriously while everyone else does. My favorite interactions with him aside from the Akiba Squad are the ones with Ookura. (I actually prefer to ship them over Niina/Akira lol)

Sasajima, mysterious Quiz Master with a past related to Fukami’s brother, who used to go to the Prestigious Quiz King School. Character wise, he doesn’t seem interesting but I love his idea of what a Quiz Bowl should be. My favorite parts of a series is when they love the thing they do, and that having fun is what is the most important. Of course you have to be fairly good at the thing first to be able to enjoy yourself freely but he never brags and is a supportive senpai.

Jinko. She’s cute. That’s good enough for me lol. I guess her Electronics Thing is also pretty cool. I like seeing the Sasajimas interact.

8) Ship

Okay, well, its obvious where I fall here. I don’t remember the last time I’ve watched such a generic sport series with a one on one protag vs rival. I’m not above shipping the “obvious/main” ship, as SasuNaru and Edgewright are some of my ships. However I didn’t ship Akira/Hikaru and I don’t ship KageHina but I do ship something like Manjoume/Judai and if asked MakoHaru vs RinHaru, I’d pick the latter, so it might just be a matter of tastes and I won’t fall immediately into every “rival” ship.

So why would I ship Mikuriya/Koshiyama? Because I love it when the Cool Guy falls for the Nerd and EXTRA POINTS if the Cool Guy is also secretly a nerd too. When I mean secretly a nerd, I don’t mean Mikuriya being on quiz bowl but that he might be a closet Otaku. (ImaSaka is everything about this trope.) 

Anyway, they are the main two rivals in the series, so of course they acknowledge each other. Koshiyama took it so dramatically but in the past, nobody cared about his presence, let alone think that he’s a Threat. Mikuriya is a Hot Shot and thinks he’s better than everyone but this newb with potential beat him one time (unofficially) so he’s automatically curious. 

Even though it is Hot Blooded Competition, Mikuriya always seems to encourage and cheer Koshiyama on (in his own rival-y way of course) whenever he feels down about not being strong enough to compete with him. (When they were lining up for the Third round at Asagaoka) Even when Koshiyama lost, after Mikuriya had a huge handicap, Mikuriya tells him he’ll take him on anytime. The fact that he wants to do Quiz Bowl with (against) him, is practically Sports Anime confession. “I won’t wait for you, Git Gud” “Okay I will Git Gud so we can fight again” *Fist Bump* What are you guys doing.

It might just be the art style but there is a copious amount of blushing happening every time the two interact. Also that height difference!! Mikuriya is 172 while Koshiyama is 153, I fucking love it. 

Uhhhh that’s about it. I would like to gush more but there’s only a few chapters of the manga that’s been fan translated and it’s not even half of what’s actually out there. (I think the manga is complete by now?) There’s only one anime season of the series, and I doubt there’s going to be more so RIP me.

safety pin (ow highschool au)

summary: jesse and genji make a promise to each other and maybe, this time, two wrongs will make a right. read it on ao3

a/n: this is very based off the song safety pin by 5 seconds of summer bc im on a mcgenji and old 5sos kick rn. Featuring an american high school written by a british first year college student. Also jesse and hana are jack and gabes kids ok good cool also genji is trans and lucio is enby ok bye 

genji and jesse use he/him, hana uses she/her and lucio uses he/they

Ships: mcgenji, a sprinkling of bunnyribbit and background reaper76

word count: 1.2k (this is the longest fic i’ve ever written holy shit)

tw for mentions of transphobia and gender dysphoria/ self deprecating talk

Jesse just wanted to get to his locker. But instead, he was greeted with a crowd of people shouting horrible things at someone. Upon further investigation, he saw two people being targeted. And when the taller boy saw the green, he knew it was Genji and Lucio. 

Genji could usually stand up for himself, so why wasn’t he? 

Before anything could happen physically, the vice principal, Jack Morrison, appeared with his husband and head of phys ed, Gabriel Reyes, in tow. They were the teachers in charge of the GSA and they were also Jesse’s parents. They both knew how much Genji meant to Jesse, and how much Lucio meant to Genji so they were always first to take their side whenever anything happened to them.  

“Get to class, all of you!” Jack shouted, his voice laced with anger but also an attempt to stay professional. Gabe weaved through the crowds in an attempt to get them to disperse, before he caught the dickheads responsible.

“Principal's office. Now” Gabe scowled, his voice also laced with anger.

 As the crowd cleared, Jack spotted Jesse and Hana, worry plastered on their faces.

“Jesse, Hana, stay here.” he said, his voice much softer. He had a soft spot for any of the kids in the GSA, he’d been in their position years ago and was glad to give them the help he wished he had. At this point, the GSA was just the entire queer population of the school and no allies, but that was fine. They could all just unapologetically be themselves, without the fear of judgement. The GSA was the safest place in the school to be for them. 

“I’ll let your teachers know what's gone on and have them mark you in for the rest of the day but you don't have to go to class.” He was addressing the four of them now, voice still soft but laced with concern for the green duo. “I’ll write you all hall passes but you’re free to sit in our room if you want to. I’ll also notify all staff about what’s happened and I’ll be in my office if any of you need me.” 

“Thank you, Sir.” the four of them said in somewhat unison. Once Jack had walked off, Hana rushed over to Lucio, who was leaning against the wall and still shaking from the encounter.

“Lú! Are you ok?” Hana asked, concern now laced through her voice. She cradled Lucio’s head in her hands, rubbing away their tears. 

“Yeah, I’ll be fine, Hana. It’s nothing I haven’t heard before. I guess I deserve it, wearing a skirt to school” they replied. Being one of two openly trans people in the entire school was bound to go wrong at some point. 

“Shut it, dingus. We both know you don’t deserve it. It’s not our fault people are transphobic assholes.” Genji chimed in. 

“Exactly!” Hana said. “Now, let's go sit in the room and fix your makeup. You deserve to feel pretty, baby.” With that statement, the pair set off, hand in hand, to the room that GSA meetings were held in, leaving Jesse and Genji alone in the hallway. Genji was still processing what happened but Jesse pulled him back to reality.

“Our spot?” Jesse asked, voice quiet in order to not disturb the students learning in the class opposite them. Genji just nodded, and after Jesse got his bag from his locker (which was the only reason he was in that part of the school anyway), they set off toward the exits.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Thank god I got some snacks, I forgot we were gonna have a shorter lunch. I’m starvin’.” Jesse started, plonking himself down on the ground with Genji following suit opposite him. “You ok darlin’? Ya still look scared. How come ya didn’t stand up for yourself? I know you can, the entire grade has seen ya do it before.”  Genji chuckled and sighed, before replying.

“I was already having a bad enough day with my dysphoria and I was talking about it with Lucio when someone overheard us and.. yeah.” 

“Oh, baby, I-”

“No, it’s fine.” Genji said, cutting Jesse off. “They’re right, I’m not a real man and never will be. I wouldn’t be surprised if you wanted to break up with me, Jesse.” Genji couldn’t hold back the tears any longer and before he could say anything, he was in Jesse’s arms. One of the few places he felt safe. One of two places where he could exist without judgement.

“Dumplin’, I know it’s hard but please never believe anything those assholess say. You’re not only a man, but you’re MY man and I’m not going anywhere. Nothing will ever change that. Ever. They’re just asshats that lack so much self confidence that they tear others down.” Jesse said softly, cradling his lovers face in his hands, wiping away tears. 

Genji melted at any nickname Jesse gave him, especially dumpling. It came from an in-joke on their first date, where Genji had compared himself to a dumpling, small and bite sized (compared to Jesse anyway) and the nickname stuck ever since. 

“Do ya want me to do anything, darlin’?” Jesse murmured, rubbing circles on Genji’s back in an effort to calm his tears.

“No, this is fine for now.” Genji barely whispered, not even daring to look up at the brunette. Just as Jesse was about to reply, his phone pinged. 

buncha fuckin misfits

padre: the dickheads have been dealt with and they’re outta here

gaymer gorl: good riddance lmao

boy scout lookin ass: those kids have done this multiple times and i’m surprised it took this long to expel them 

boy scout lookin ass: how are gen and lú by the way?

gaymer gorl: i redid Lú’s makeup and they’re back to lookin fabulous!

yee to the haw: just givin’ gen some cuddles, he was already havin’ a bad day with dysphoria and he just needs some convincin’ that he’s stronger than he thinks. he’ll be ok :)

With that, Jesse shut off his phone and turned his attention back to the green haired boy in his arms. The brunette ran his hands through the sea of green hair beneath him, letting out a low whistle when he realised how soft it was.

“I redyed it last night” Genji said, his tears having pretty much run dry at his point. 

“Well, ya better tell me what hair products you use, darlin’. Wish my hair was as soft as this.” 

Genji let out a chuckle, which made Jesse smile. He’s getting there. 

The pair stayed like that for some time until Jesse had an idea. He reached over to his bag and pulled a safety pin off the strap, handing it to Genji. Before Genji could question him, he began to explain himself.

“ Maybe we can safety pin the pieces of our broken hearts back together. We’ve both been hurt so much in the past, and we’re obviously gonna wanna be whole in the future. So, I’ll give you this as a promise, that I’m always gonna have your back and the one on my bag is your promise to me, that you’ll always have my back. Make sense?” Jesse said, pinky extended towards his love, smile creeping onto his face.

“Of course.” Genji replied. “Besides, maybe, this time, two wrongs make a right.”

[clannfearrunt]

I was always told the Squid Sisters had a Kansai dialect, not Hakata... though I've been hearing that since Splatoon 1, so maybe there's something I missed? But that was the main basis for me thinking CC was around Kyoto, and looking into it told me Kyoto would be about two and a half hours by train, so it lined up after the Squid Sisters Stories came out. (Though, looking now, the two hours estimate would be much more accurate for either Hamamatsu to the south or Sendai to the north... hmm)

Ah, I suspected the Kansai thing had something to do with it. I’m still trying to track down where that came from, and I know I tacked on a correction on one post on this site, but the thing is. Before I bought the Splat 2 artbook, I noticed that Marie had a dialect. I knew it wasn’t Kansai, because she uses a specific phrase that is a major tip off that it isn’t. So I googled it in Japanese, hoping that other Japanese folks who live in Japan would know - but I forgot that folks who live in Kanto only know what (highly stereotyped based on the Osaka and Kyoto dialects specifically, tv entertainment version) ”””Kansai””” dialect sounds like lmao. Most people seemed to also catch on to the same tip-off phrase but then they couldn’t figure out what it actually was. Like one person guessed Hiroshima, which is pretty much the most incorrect guess that was floating around for so many reasons and is extremely fucking funny to me… POINT IS the incorrect “Marie speaks Kansai dialect” could very well be from someone taking the info from confused Japanese fans who are also wrong. 

Anyways I bought the japanese Splat 2 artbook afterwards and the notes on Marie’s kimono design just outright said she spoke Hakata dialect lol… (which also adds on to the patheticness of the above anecdote because Japan (or maybe just Tokyo area, hard to tell sometimes) had a huge “oh wow gorls speaking Hakata dialect are soooo cute” fad just recently…) The Hakata dialect is spoken in Fukuoka city, and is a part of the larger Kyushu dialect group, not the Kansai (or more properly, Kinki dialects). The Splat 1 artbook doesn’t seem to mention it though, which adds to the “Confused Japanese Fans Only Know One (1) Dialect” theory.

Dialect stuff aside, the Kyoto thing would also depend on where you’re putting Inkopolis! Like, for example if you were using my calculationz of it being around Nikko, Tochigi based on the location of Real Mount Nantai, then Kyoto is over 5 hours away! But you’re right that Sendai and Hamamatsu are closer to the 2 hours estimate (assuming that Inkopolis is at Nikko). Personally, I want to push them in the south towards where Fukuoka was, so I would probably go with Hamamatsu (plus its former location is closer than Sendai to where the new coastline is). 

HOWEVER. With the new coastline in mind, there would be new train routes. the current route between Nikko and Hamamatsu is going to be mostly underwater, so they’d need something completely new. If they run the lines near the coastline like the current one is, then it could be like this? 

It gets a lot snakier than the current routes! Between the new snakiness of this potential route (which probably is a good guess since it avoids having to go through mountains and many towns they stop at are probably close to the coasts) and not knowing how many stops there might be in between, I’m not so sure that it’ll stay within that 2 hours estimate. On the flip side, I probably played it too safe with my placement near Numata, Gunma - it’s probably too close! The only reason it takes so long to get there in the modern times is because the routes take detours towards cities that are underwater in the future. I think the main reason I was drawn towards that area was that it has a bay happening there which is great for fishing, which is great for Thank The Ocean Song. (Also, the actual city-dot I placed there is just One Town/City in the region of unknown size known as Calamari County)

So,,,, Idk!! I might move Calamari County too, or maybe I’ll find a reason it takes 2 hrs to get there. But… yeah! Stuff. Thank you for the patience

Deltora Quest anime review: The Ruby arc

SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Episode 4: The Enigmatic Giant

So… the Shadow Lord is actually aware that the Topaze was stolen when Gorl was defeated? It’s nice. Makes the Shadow Lord more omniscient, fits with the anime idea that it is more an eldritch being than an over-powered evil sorcerer.

I like that we actually see rain and storms that early. If I remember well, we had to wait until book five to see rain in Deltora. But seriously, though, why put a rainbow there?

I really like the giant design. The reminiscence of his bird form as a humanoid, or how he disguises himself as a rock in front of the bridge, foreshadowing the transformation and that he is not really what he seems to be.

I also like how Kree seems to warn Jasmine that the giant isn’t as evil as they think. Kree must sense that he was a bird all along.

The giant making the hourglass appear from thin air is really ridiculous. There was no need for that. And the giant reaction at each good answer (screaming in pain/anger than being all happy and smiling) is quite weird. I understand maybe Thaegan created him so that he would feel pain whenever a victim escapes, but… at least, explain it.

So… they changed Barda’s riddle? Probably because of the translation of some idioms being impossible in Japanese? Or maybe they just wanted to emphasize the “numbers and math” idea prevalent in the two other questions? But outside of that, seriously Barda, you want to directly fight him after thinking for barely two seconds? Come on…

The sung poem is really funny and cheese. Seriously, it’s funny, it makes me laugh. Especially when Lief repeats it word for word, at the same rhythm, with the same intonations, as time runs out and he keeps this dead-eyed serious face… That’s really a joke. But I get it, the people of the show probably wanted to let time for the kids to discover themselves the answer… or maybe not, they were just being ridiculous.

I like how Lief’s option for being killed appear as these old-fashioned illustrations.

As someone said in the comments down the video, the “You’re free again” from Lief is unnecessary and not very logical compared to what the bird just told him. I guess it’s a translation problem.

The flashback of Kree’s family death is perfect – the corpses in the spider webs, the fact we don’t see Thaegan, making it creepy and sad without being gory or shocking – perfect.

They already reveal, or at least hint at the D’Or background? That early? Okay… Well, some may have thought the D’Or plot twist came a bit without warning in the books. I’m glad to see Jasmine’s ability to hear birds being used again. But why are the D’Or people not golden? And why are there Ralads with them? Especially when the team isn’t supposed to know about Ralads yet, especially Jasmine.

I like the Shadow Lord-marked rations, food bar stuff the Grey Guards are eating. It fits the book idea of the Shadow Lord being a modern and industrial evil.

Barda telling Lief that they mustn’t stray away from their quest and not save the Ralad… That’s inconsistent and hypocrite, given previously Barda was willing to forget going to the Dark and search the Topaze just to kill the Wennbar. Yeah, the Wennbar was following them but still, he chose to fight it because of his disdain for fleeing, and didn’t care one bit about the stones.

The fiery explosive stuff the Grey Guards own are confirmed to be the blisters… I really wonder how they’re going to explain the Gellick poison stuff.

 Episode 5: Nij and Doj’s Trap

Lief calls the explosive stuff “poisonous blisters”… When they are clearly explosive stuff!

The segment with Jasmine throwing things at the guards is… weird. And just slowing down the flight, and not a good move to pull off in real life.

Nij and Doj are supposed to be plump, isn’t it?

It’s nice to see the original wordplay with the quicksand warning sign in English.

I don’t remember Filli being scared in the book… if so, it’s a nice addition of the anime.

Filli is a girl? That’s a discovery.

I like how the illusion of Nij and Doj being broken reminds of two things. 1- it looks like the statics of a television going wrong, referring again to the technological/industrial idea of the Shadow Lord’s evil. 2- it reminds me of, yet again, the 3D covers of the book. Nice touch.

For as much as I like Jin and Jod’s house design, I don’t like their real form. They look too cartoony and cute for me. Even though they kept the major traits from the book, Jin and Jod were supposed to be ugly ogres, disfigured monsters. Not just mutated Pokemons. Even though I like the male monster design more than the female one (can’t remember who is Jin and who is Jod)

I like how Jin and Jod think of sharing their stew with their mother. Plus it strengthen the heroes suspicion of the existence of a passage in the quicksand.

No. Just… no… A magic stone-switch that illuminates the path in the quicksand? Please, no. And they don’t trick Jin and Jod but merely retract the bridge with another stone? It’s funny how they put an emphasis on intelligence with the mathematic stuff in the previous episode, but now reduce the tricks to merely “learn how to switch the button”.

I like the idea of Jin and Jod having special powers for being children and Thaegan but… I mean the fact they could create illusions was already enough, no? No need to fuse them into one giant monster just to create a more spectacular fight. What’s with the Japanese and their obsession with merging stuff together?

I really like Kree you know. Really.

And of course, Lief is the one putting the ointment on Jasmine’s arm. Suggestively. First the “don’t get a crush on me”, now that, huh? Well, at least they keep it subtle.

And Jin and Jod survive as… fire balls spirit thing. Now, that’s something purely Japanese here – it’s called “Hitodama”. In Japanese folklore it’s balls of fire that float in the night, said to be the aspect the soul of the deads take when it leaves their bodies. They are basically the Japanese equivalent of the European Will-o’-the-wisp. Personally, I don’t mind this addition, it fits the theme of European folklore and fairy tales prevalent in the Ruby Arc. I’ll buy it.

 Episode 6: The Monster in the Lake of Tears

“They had to sleep on the cold, hard ground, without the light or warm of a fire… that was especially difficult from Jasmine, who was still recovering from her wounds”. Narrator, dear… we are talking about a girl that lived alone in the Forest of Silence without the possibility to make herself a fire in her nest from seven years old to sixteen. And she said herself last episode her wound wasn’t that bad and a simple ointment would do the trick. Don’t try to turn Jasmine into a damsel in distress, please.

 What’s with the bloody rainbows? There wasn’t even any rain here!

Oh yes, they make Jasmine a damsel in distress.

So they stop by a little cabin and… take a bath? Oh, it’s to clean the wound, okay. Well, that makes sense. Even though it’s several days, maybe weeks since she was wounded – taking a bath now is a bit too late, don’t you think? But it brings a very good question: there isn’t any real mention of the heroes taking a bath, was there? They kept running around all this time… maybe they took a bath at Rithmere, and maybe at D’Or/Raladin, but still… that’s not much. (Note, it’s funny how in the comments people correct Lief: it’s not a log cabin, it’s a cottage with a thatched roof)

And now Barda knows about the Resistance all along… Seriously? Couldn’t you have kept the suspense a bit longer?

Oh I understand the bath now. Of course, it’s a Japanese anime – they wouldn’t miss the opportunity to make a girl bathe into a hot water bath.

And now Lief and Jasmine strongly believe in the Resistance and how it defended Raladin… when they just discovered its existence a few hours before. Seriously?

Well, Manus music is nice.

Uh, okay… the simple hole in the ground becomes an entire freaking staircase that moves on its own… I buy it, Ralads are great builders.

As someone pointed out in the comments, how can Manus laugh? He doesn’t have a voice.

Jasmine hasn’t healed still? Seriously? But I have to say that it’s nice to see Barda train Lief a bit more on the sword fighting. And of course Jasmine just calls it showing off and doesn’t take her part of the training… damn. Plus, Manus is looking at Lief and Barda fighting with lovers eyes. I don’t know with which of the two I ship him, but there’s a ship in the air.

So… at first they wanted Manus to stay at Raladin, and now they just take him away to guide them to the Lake when he doesn’t seem happy at all? What the fuck? You’re kidnapping him, people!  - Oh no it explains why he isn’t happy. It’s because he hasn’t told them. Okay, my bad.

It’s really funny because the way they pronounce “Soldeen” here is eerily similar to how English and/or Japanese people mispronounce the French “sardine”. Which is, a sardine.

Why are the Ralads so happy to let Manus go now? That’s some serious mood switch.

Now I know. It’s Manus X Lief. The Japanese turned the honorable “you saved my life so mine is yours” into a damn fantasy yaoi shipping!

So yeah, again we know already that the Lake is D’Or… they could be subtler. The plot twist was really good, why not keep it?

So now there’s big ass white venomous snakes in the lake? Okay.

Actually, there’s a question I kept asking myself with the book: if the creature in the lake are the people of D’Or… does this mean the D’Or were eating each other the whole time and killing each other? And in this episode, does that mean the heroes just killed three inhabitants of D’Or?

And now there’s just three little snake, and then it’s Soldeen directly? Okay…

Barda tells Lief to keep moving… and then freezes and wait. Well, maybe he was just protecting the Belt. But I have a hard time with the configuration of the Lake. Now the water is so thin they can walk on the earth underneath?

Well, Soldeen is cool. Generic, but cool.

 Episode 7: Sorceress Thaegan

There are toucans in Deltora? What? I mean, it’s not even in a jungle, it’s just a small wood here…

I don’t like the Lake in the anime. They made it too clean, not monstrous or ugly enough – it’s nearly beautiful.

The whole “topaze reminds Soldeen of his past life” moment is really good.

NOW THE D’OR PEOPLE ARE GOLDEN! Why weren’t they a few episodes before?

Yes… Lief is ready to sacrifice everything for Manus and Manus the same… I SHIP LIEF X MANUS!

I still can’t accept the gems in the anime are so small. That’s ridiculous. It’s not a magic stone, it’s a M&M’s!

So… I like Thaegan’s magic. I like her voice, her attitude, her actions, etc… But her appearance… No, just no. I get they couldn’t show her naked, and the dress isn’t a problem. But it’s the rest. The hair, the lips, the jewels… You know animators, Thaegan is supposed to be BEAUTIFUL. So why the bad make-up, and the bags under her eyes, and the gray hair making her look old, and these cheap ear-jewels that look like they were crafted by primary school children? The worst thing is that, on some drawings she is beautiful. If you pause at the right moment, you get what the animators were going for. But most of the time, it just doesn’t work.

Also… Am I the only one thinking that Thaegan looks like a “madam” or a lady of the night? I don’t know if the Japanese team wanted to make a comment with her about the women of loose moral and small virtue… given that you know, Thaegan had thirteen children, maybe with different fathers… I don’t know, I’m just wondering.

So, they changed the working of the magic armor. Her weakness is now that she drops her armor right before throwing a spell. Okay… the only thing that bugs me is that the time-window is really too short. Kree couldn’t have possibly made it right, or he got an insane luck. I still prefer when it was the tip of her finger that wasn’t protected.

And the ring with the Shadow Lord symbol seems now to be the source of her power… Meh, I don’t like it. In the books her power was merely “powered-up” by the Shadow Lord. Here it seems she got all of her powers from him.

So, Manus tries to play the flute to… distract her I guess? I mean, okay, it shows his bravery and gives him a role in the fight. Okay.

Thaegan’s face transformation. It’s something I think I should have discussed back in my book review: when I read that her beautiful face got replaced by a devilish one, like if she was removing a mask, I really thought she was taking off her face. Like a mask. That was cool. I realized later it was merely an image for how her face twisted and showed her true nature – like in vampire novels, when the peace and beautiful faces of the young dead turns into the hateful visage of a monster. I see the anime went with that – but they didn’t manage well to make clear the difference between her “beautiful” and “ugly” self, resulting in… a mixed bag. Also, why does she has no nose?

So… Thaegan turns into a tree before exploding? Okay… That’s weird, but okay.

Oh, I get now what they wanted to make Fallow. A ridiculous villain, pathetic sidekick. Someone funny. Seriously, if the Shadow Lord put someone like that in control of Del, I doubt he is really as cunning as it is presented. Also, noticing his long pointy nails I wonder if the animators weren’t trying to make Fallow the “effeminate villain” cliché. I mean… long hair, a long robe, pointy nails… At the same time, in the book, the royals were described as having long hair, makeup and dressing in robes, so maybe they just want to twist the typical royal outfit? I don’t know.

So… Nor the Shadow Lord nor Fallow know the appearance of the heroes… Yet there’s this rat that brings the ring to them. The rat seems to understand the Shadow Lord and obey him. He was there when Thaegan was defeated. Couldn’t he tell the Shadow Lord what he saw? I doubt the Shadow Lord is unable to speak with rats, after all he could make a snake and a toad speak.

Oh… they resurrect Thaegan through her ring. First of all, I like Thaegan and her children and I’m glad to see they’re recurring villains, but I know what’s waiting for them, and I know it’s bad, so maybe she should have stayed dead. Second of all: IF THE SHADOW LORD CAN RESURRECT PEOPLE WHY WON’T HE RESSURECT HIS OTHER GUARDIANS? Maybe he needs a piece of them, like the ring of Thaegan, so it gives a small excuse, but still. IF THE SHADOW LORD CAN RESSURECT THE DEADS, WHAT CAN BEAT HIM AND HIS ARMIES? SERIOUSLY? Third: they said before that one drop of blood was the only way to get rid of Thaegan “for all of eternity”. All of eternity, people. The Shadow Lord shouldn’t be able to bring her back, she is destroyed, gone forever.

Also, speaking of blood… Someone in the comments made a pretty good question. If only one drop of blood spilled on the ground can kill a witch, does it mean the Deltora-sorceresses don’t have their periods? Or are extra careful around this time?

Someone in the comments made this joke, and I just love it: Now they have mustard AND ketchup!

1-30 GO GO GO

1. What do you identify as and what are your pronouns? I’m a grayromantic lesbian ace, who is also agender (nb), and my pronouns are they/them 

2. answered in a singular ask

3. Have you experienced being misgendered? What happened and how did you overcome it? Well, I’m... to be honest, not really full out of the closet on the agender thing, I just usually try to dress as gender neutral as I can, but it still happens obviously. I hate it when people refer to me as the wrong pronouns but i’m just kind of used to it I guess. On the OTHER hand, when people irl use they/them pronouns my heart LITERALLY explodes from love and gratitude.

4. Who was the first person you told, how did they react? I can’t remember who I told first. I mean, the grayromantic lesbian thing was DEF my two bffs bc they were LITERALLY right there when I was having my crush crisis of “do I just want to be friends really bad or do I have a big ass gay crush on this cute gorl” They just found it amusing, never questioned it, and support me

5. Describe what it was like coming out, what did you feel? For most people irl I don’t talk about the grayro/ace part, but other than that I am. VERY open about liking girls, pretty much. Catch me sayin “god i wish i had a gf” so often, or makin a joke about “i’m gay/not straight” every other sentence ahsdjkfljaskd; it feels nice though because it’s just... being myself and not hiding away. embracing it.

6. If you’re out how did your parents/guardians/friends react? Well, with my parents it’s like a lot of other people, they only REALLY know about the liking girls thing. They’re okay with that and don’t make a big deal about it. On the other hand, I’ve... tried to talk to my mom about how I don’t feel like a girl, but she... doesn’t really listen to that part. 

7. What is one question you hate people asking about your sexuality? “Oh, ace? So you just don’t like to fuck?”

8. Describe the style of clothing that you most often wear. What’s comfortable, which, for me, is pretty much just jeans and various T-shirts (and in winter/late fall/early spring, a jacket).

9. Who are your favourite lgbt+ ships? fuckin uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shinmido babey. todoiimido also good.

10. What does makeup mean to you? Do you wear any? outside of a handful of “special occasions” I have only ever worn makeup as stage makeup for being in a play or musical. So for me it means. Theater. But if I were to choose to wear makeup outside of drama it would just be eyeliner for that Dramatic Wing and eyeshadow for the COLORS!! and face paint for cute decorations to be Extra(TM)

11. Do you experience dysphoria? If so, how does that affect you? ahjdsklfhjdsklj nb dysphoria is weird because it’s like, “i litcherally want to be completely androgynous in a way that confuses the fuck out of everyone”. If I could have a flat chest,, that’d be NICE

12. answered in a singular ask

13. What’s your favourite thing about the lgbt+ community? The sense of community! Is that redundant? I just like the Solidarity(TM)

14. What’s your least favourite thing about the lgbt+ community? ace discourse. I wish it didn’t have to be a thing. no further comment.

15. Have you ever been to your cities pride event? Why or why not? I don’t even know if my city has a pride event, but if there is one I haven’t gone. I’m not a big party person

16. Who is your favourite lgbt+ icon/advocate/celebrity? Hatsune Miku(TM)

17. Have you ever been in a relationship and how did you meet? I sorta/kinda/I guess went out with someone when I thought I was bi, but... really we didn’t do relationship-y stuff, and pretty much we were just friends and didn’t know how to do romantic stuff. We broke up (HE broke up with ME over TEXT MESSAGE, the BITCH) but now that we look back on it, it was kinda dumb and we’ve moved on and we’re still friends. but OTHER than that, I have never been in an actual relationship before

18. What is your favourite lgbt+ book? I mean, it’s not centrally lgbt+, but hey uhhh in Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard, the main character is bi/pan and in a relationship with a genderfluid person and it’s fucking amazing

19. Have you ever faced discrimination? What happened? hhhhhhhhhhh one time I got in an argument with someone over an unrelated post, and in the tags they wrote “christ I just saw their url, I’m dealing with a monster” and I realized they were talking about the nb part and that. Really hurt.

20. Your Favorite lgbt+ movie movie or show? Love, Simon was really good

21. Who are some of your favourite lgbt+ bloggers? All my mutuals babey, xoxo

22. Which lgbt+ slur do you want to reclaim? I sometimes use queer as a label but not really often. It’s not that I have a problem with it, I just don’t use it often (mostly bc. other people usually have a problem with it)

23. Have you ever gone to a gay bar, or a drag show, how was it? Nope, have not. to be fair. i just graduated high school.

24. answered in a solo ask

25. Are you interested in having children? Why or why not? NO children for me. I have never really wanted children. Part of it is dysphoria. 

26. What identity advice would you give your younger self? “you do not like guys, you do not like guys, quit convincing yourself you do, that’s just the heteronormativity speaking. Also, gender doesn’t exist”

27. What do you think of gender roles in relationships? Dumb. just do stuff for each other without making it about gender (as in, one party HAS to do this bc that’s the MAN’S/WOMAN’S job)

28. Anything else you want to share about your experience with gender? gender norms are fucking weird who came up with this bs

29. What is something you wish people know about being lgbt+? it may seem like we’re “shoving it in your face” but we actually have every right to be proud of who we are because the world spent so much time trying to tell us to be ashamed

30. Why are you proud to be lgbt+? because it’s who I am babey!

6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?

I don’t think I have any yet.

7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?

8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here!

No, I don’t.

9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?

I’m working on a oc for Mij so yeah.

10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design?

I don’t think any of my ocs have really complicated designs lol (at least the ones I have given more tought on).

11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”?

Kida.

12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lot

Bud, Leo and Thatch are the ones I can think on the top my head now (and Zokii who is Mij’s oc ofc).

13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs?

Yeah, I have some villains too but I’m still working on them.

14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory

Leona, a fan apprentice from The Arcana. She had an abusive father, and ran away from her clan after being scratched in the face by an albino jaguar that later becomes her familiar.

15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?

Yes!

Orion? Or maybe another Voltron oc I have (from the next generations of paladins)? I don’t know, didn’t think about it.

17. Any OC OTPs?

Not yet.

18. Any OC crackships?

Welp I saw a post in the rayllum tag once saying “what if Rayla broke up with someone before going to the Katolis?” and I tought it was cool, so I created a moonshadow elf oc called Luana, Rayla’s ex girlfriend lol.

19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)

I don’t know man I like all of them. I could introduce Kida or Orion, ‘cause they’re pretty solid ocs but I already talked a lot about them.

20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?

I don’t think any of them can sing... Maybe Luana? 

21. Your most artistic OC

Orion! He’s one of my Sheith kids oc. Unlike the rest of his family, despite of him being a good fighter and a good strategist, he has no desire in following a militar career because he’s an artist! And he likes taking pictures of all the amazing things he gets to see when he travels to planets of the coalition with his family. He’s like an honorary member in missions because he, alongside a small team, records everything that’s going on aboard. He’s always ready to help when things get tought though. 

22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how?

Few people know about my ocs, so no.

26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will?

Nope.

28. Your most dangerous OC?

My vilains I guess.

29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?

Any of my mcs from Mystic Messenger. I mean, the mc already kinda did that didn’t she? Lmao.

30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection?

Many of them because they’re nerds and I like stuffed animals so I can’t help it.

31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)

Kida would have a pastel blog, and she would probably mostly reblog and post cute aesthetic pictures and gifs.

32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why?

My Mystic messenger mcs because they’re dumb enough to follow the instructions of a complete stranger and break in someone’s apartment lol.

Probably Frida, my the arcana fan apprentice from Julian’s route.

39. Introduce any character you want

I have this furry alien boy which is the same alien species as Olia (Voltron). He’s one of Pidge’s favorite students and one of the next generation of paladins, but I couldn’t decide if he’s the blue or red paladin yet.

40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!

Well, it was cool talking about the sheith kids with Mij on discord.

41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember sources & permissions!)

My friend and I made an art exchange and I posted it here a few years ago.

42. Which one of your OCs would be the most interested in Greek gods?

Orion, Leona, the allurance daughter, one of” the next generation paladins” oc and Zago (the arcana fan apprentice from Asra’s route).

Maybe it’s a female and I’ll give her a light fury girlfriend, who knows?

Episode 3 - "RIP tribe Jenkins we were too powerful" - Riley

The 3 tribes of Pendragon, Hatter, and Jenkins have been reorganized and condensed into 2 new Hatter and Pendragon Tribes. Tribal immunity is Scavenger Hunt.

The fact I have Brayden and Toph in my merged tribe boosts my serotonin. i have a feeling colin may be someone to keep an eye out for in the future now...

RIP tribe Jenkins we were too powerful. I guess we'll see how Pendragon pans out.

yall doin me dirty putting me with brayden i just hope that by some miracle me him anastasia and ellie can work together? like i still dont know if theyre plotting on my ass vdshibshj i know brayden told anastasia to take me out when this game started oop but lemme see if dis works. i hope riley follows the logic of the old tribe sticking together and thatll be 5 votes. im kinda obsessed with toph like since the beginning of the game he looks like someone i could totally play with so def wanna work on that relationship. ava and nya? i believe? lets say hello and work on those relationships as well. dis is a bit overwhelming but we shall see how it goes

uh... well... i am SCREWED. me and ginny were the only ones separated from the Jenkins tribe... RIP. 4 pendragons, 2 hatters, and 2 jenkins... the main things i see here are pendragon yoinking one of the hatters / jenkins and voting the other off... OR a 4-4 tie... OR they're gonna target one of me or ginny cuz none of us have gone to tribal council yet. this is really dicey, and I need to tread very, very carefully from hereon. (ALSO GINNY BARELY TALKS PLS I NEED YOUR HELP GIRL)

This swap actually turned out pretty amazing for me. I still have Keith and Moth who I worked semi-close with in the pre-swap. Additionally, I've met up with Colin and Babs. A little Raffy magic could keep me very safe on this tribe. I think Kenneth is super fun as he is a newbie AND active. He will definitely make it far in this game. I hope, at the very least, that I can be by his side to make that happen. However, I am wary he might just be making these strong social connections with everyone. As a final note, OG Pendragons have this tribe 4 to 8. That's both good and bad. Good because we have numbers. Bad because that may make people target me very early on just for being a part of it. So, I have decided that if I were to throw any of my OG Pendragons to the wolves it would be Jonathan as I haven't been able to connect with them as well as Keith and Moth. Other than that, I hope this tribe doesn't have to go to tribal all that often between now and the next swap/merge. These people are lovely.

I'm getting a bad feeling about this... Since most of my Jenkins tribemates are on the other tribe, I KNOW they're good cuz we just keep getting W's... so I think there is a good chance we might lose the challenge. I contributed a good amount, so I hope that the target won't be on me if ever we lose the challenge :( I really don't wanna go, and I wanna reunite with Dennis/Ellie and maybe Anastasia and get further in the game.

i worked hard on this confessional

Our tribe did our absolute best in this challenge. I have no idea who is getting targeted if we go to tribal as everyone is so quiet. All I know is that I want to keep Colin, Kenneth, and Keith close to me for this stage of the game. They are the only ones who consistently talk to me. Challenge results: Pendragon wins due to a 10% advantage, Hatter Tribe must go to tribal council the following day.

THANK GOD I FINALLY GET TO GO TO A TRIBAL, ITS BEEN TOO LONG!!!!

Look, before you go to tribal with a group of people it feels like there’s a barrier of game socialization because you haven’t been able to go to tribal with them. But leading up to tribal and after it, a whole new can of worms is available for game talk. Unfortunately it’s an extremely simple vote because Nya has ghosted all of us, but at least we still get to go to tribal so I can talk game with more people even if it’s only a small amount with this easy vote. But who knows, someone might decide to switch shit up!

And also I absolutely love this tribe (Minus Nya cause I haven’t met them) so I’m glad that I get to go forward with this group although I won’t be nearly as happy if we go to tribal again because as I said, I do enjoy this group of people a lot

Moth (Tumblr will only allow me 10 images so player banners stop now, whoops) I believe the only reason I will make it to the next round is because of Raffys advantage. I’d be so screwed otherwise

I like Babs. They got good vibes.

Also I’d kill to know how the other tribe reacted

Dennis in a perfect world i would try to not vote out nya but bdksksksoksks theyve done it to themselves. no need to make waves. unless someone else is secretly plotting on me i think this is about to be an easy tribal. damn one point. miss ellie had her name down on stuff that she didnt do. also overslept that first challenge is she purposey trying to sabotage and play the villain? who knowssss also ive broken my streak of never going to tribe tribal sigh

Toph So what’s happening, I can’t remember the last time I made a confession but the tea yall ?! Soooo the tribe swap happened and my gut was right soooo okay intuition work ! I feel like I really like everyone from the merge and nya as remained inactive since, after losing the challenge it seems like an easy vote but you can never be to safe, I have my little allinnce with Brayden and Ava which is wig and I really dig Ellie , Anastasia, and Dennis too, I’m gonna be so nervous if we have to go to tribal agian because it could be me ! I’m not to sure about Reilly but they seem nice ! I feel pretty good with Anastasia as well and feel we could rope her into an alliance easily, I’m just gonna due my best right now to play the middle, keep my head down and speak positively. I really need to find an idol or something even better just so I don’t have to worry as super much and just plain worry then lol. If anything I’m gonna stay loyal to brayden and Ava the most since there my day one homies. Brayden seems to be close with Anastasia which could definitely help in are favor of having the numbers on are side. But could mean he would easily cut me for her if needed, so that mean I need to get closer with Ava, just to gaurnetee my safety, I have to look out for me this game and only me, making sure the numbers are kn my side I’m constantly on the right side of the vote should help me strageticly float to the end and win my crown thank you very much. I’m also lowkey worried about alliance’s being made right now without me! Everyone seems to be online but my chats are a bit quite but this could be me overthinking things mmmhmm I’m not sure, we’ll anyways it was nice to vent to y’all. :)

Riley Nooooooo I can't believe we lost by just one point. Damn the Hatter tribe's secret bonus point boost >:(

Kenneth I am honestly in such a shock that we won that challenge... Raffy really came in clutch and helped us win AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Now I don't have to worry about being randomly blindsided or targeted for at least a couple more days now pls I just hope we get lucky again and another swap happens where I would be on the right side of the numbers, all prepared for merge domination >:) Raffy Oof. I know the other tribe is MAD because I would be too. Like, we only won because of my advantage giving us a 1 POINT LEAD. That's crazy! Honestly, this works for me as I can still focus o n making strong social connections within this tribe. By the time we go to tribal, I will be so integrated with this tribe that voting me out would do a lot more short-term harm than long-term good. I want to see if Kenneth would start an alliance with me as that is someone I want to work closely with. In this alliance? I have no idea. I'll probably let Kenneth take the lead on that since I want him to feel like he is in charge. Dennis nothing is real

if i go tonight i would applaud it bc i am so sure nya is going. it would be a goop if the vote really wasnt nya but everyone is more or less trying to do the easy thing i think. i just hope she is okay and just too busy for dis.

some time has gone by and im just chilling. im not chilling because i feel safe, im chilling because i dont know what else to do. i cant be all game talk 24/7 because then im an outcast and would get targeted. besides the obvi alliances like a+b and maybe(?!?!??) an e(?!) in there, idk what alliances there are. like there has to be something but i dont have the picture yet. as yall know im not in any alliances in my current tribe besides i guess ellie who i fear is a saboteur lol and most likely working with a+b. a+b are such a double edged sword for me ugh. am i really in their best interests???????????????? am i really in ellies best interest???? do they know about her idol too?????????? likeeeee thats the issue. if im not really in their best interests then im the next to go after nya. i am probs very low if not the lowest on this tribe if dats true. i mean what if i really am in their best interests and theyre all genuinely trying to work with me? idk! if not then im next to go efuhijdhvbf and i fear im probably not.

i really like toph. taurus sun (in the 12th!) gemini everything else king. hes got social game on lock like who wouldnt wanna work with him ?! and hes a cutie ?! ?! ?! but i seen the chart -.- i know what hes doin. i think hes working with ellie. but he reaches out to me and probably others but i like our conversations. (but im sure everyone loves their conversations with toph!! hes great!!!!! friendly ol toph wont harm a fly ?!) i hope he likes me and sees i actually would wanna work with him above all the gorls and chooses me over them too.

ava also knows what theyre doing. saturnian legend. we barely talk but little short bits here and there. i hope its bc theyre busy but im sure ellie is talking to them more than me amongst others too. oop also possible alliance, brayden toph ava who all swapped together. so gotta keep that in mind. but yeah i dont really think im much of their priority esp if theyre on vacay they would hear a name and not stress too much if its mine bc we dont have ties like that.

riley and i talk here and there, had a lil chat today

someone once told me that i just look like someone you cant trust but you can :( sometimes :)

so yeah here i am having lots of thoughts over the last few days.

maybe im not super super invested just yet bc i feel like the rug is gonna get swept out right from under me again :))) also back on my bs telling people im a leo moon. i shouldnt weaponize astrology but hey.
