#you made me roast my fav character

[frostbounddevotion]

❛ how cute, sukuna's lap dog. anyone ever tell you that you resemble a perfectly trained pomeranian? mmm, probably not. people have likely made the comparison of a rabid but loyal cat. ❜ , suguru

❝Insult me all you like, Suguru Geto.❞ Uraume stares at them blankly. Eyes express no emotion, just a clean neutral state. Lips are firm and straight, and the words leaving their mouth were monotonous. Their unamused tone and deep statements would hit anyone with a punch to the heart-- only made worse by Uaraume’s complete disregard for the other’s hardships. A delicate and traumatizing topic, left exposed and beaten for Suguru to address. 

❝I am still gracefully devoted to the very same person who turned your loyal daughters into minced meat. You don’t have a bodies to hold in their last moments, while your body still drags along, defiling your every memory. Your name, your likeness, your reputation soiled. The very aspects of your small, insignificant life you worked so diligently to build, all robbed. Your daughters only wanted their father back and your neglect to educate them about my King lead to their downfall.❞ Uraume's lips curl into a bright, warm and friendly smile. ❝You can say, the only thing rabid are my words. Enjoy your little family in the afterlife.❞

formerly an essay in tags but - billie lurk. half-nameless, misremembered woman. her powers derived from the things taken from her, without any catharsis or empowerment. the rat charm, tied with deidre's hair, her lover's voice in the mouth of rats. her arm and eye, taken, given back only to cause her chronic pain, then lost again. foresight seems a cruel gift for a woman who botched the timing of her takeover of the whalers, and bet wrong when it came to delilah.

she never bore the outsider's blessing; his first visit to her was more like an assault. every other dishonored POV character gets the choice to be selfish, and for that selfishness to mean something, but billie's actions have no effect on the world at large, either, in a game without a chaos system.

some say that corvo is the ghost, but he can reach out and change things. billie's buried herself twice and come back and nothing she does seems to matter - she is less a protagonist, more a convenient full stop in the narrative.

try this: open doto, start a new game. sit in her cabin. notice how little of billie there is. even the woman she loved more than anyone has the face of another named character.

she sits amongst the assets of other games: empty canvases and a dressmaker's mannequin that wears nothing.

[justalildumpling]

⇢ renjun as your boyfriend

pairing: renjun x reader  genre: fluff, established relationship note: happy bday to our fav lil angry bean jun <33 (also um?!?! he literally has THE BEST bf material photos istg)

your relationship would’ve probably started off as not friends but not dating in a way, whether you met thru mutuals or just naturally, the two of you would’ve felt a spark but wanted to get to know each other before actually pursuing something

renjun would’ve made it obvious but not too obvious about his feelings, enough for you to question it but not enough for you to be completely confident with your evidences

the dreamies would be ROLLING AROUND the floor in frustration, telling him to confess his feelings already and giving you the biggest hints ever with the two of you shrugging them off saying it’s too early

despite the slow burn lead up to your relationship, i feel like renjun’s confession would be rlly casual like you two would be over at one of your guys’ place watching tv on the couch cuddling and renjun would just drop it like- HUH?!

it could literally be a disney movie in the background and renjun would say “you know, that character is my favourite from that movie” and you would laugh and ask him why

“idk it’s just really cute and it reminds me of you in a way, maybe that’s why i’ve always liked you.” 

once you started dating, not much would’ve changed in your relationship ok besides from the occasional kissing and hand holding etc

i feel like he would send you little doodles throughout the week that reminded him of you

oh the way he would have the softest smile on his lips whenever he talked to you or if he received any messages from you during his schedules 

renjun would have so much care for you whether he would express it thru just random sweet sayings throughout the day like “you look pretty today” or just giving you that honey soaked smile that he has (you know the one) 

he would call you love or some sort of cute nickname and would get super happy if you gave him one too (tho wouldn’t admit it to the dreamies LMAO)

the dreamies would so tease him everytime you came over ESP HAECHAN OML which would probably end up in a bickering match between the two so nomin and mark would take you away from the scenario and have a nice civil chat

he doesn’t seem like the type to overdo on PDA but wouldn’t mind small gestures like holding hands or leaning on each other’s shoulders/lap/stomach

tho i feel like he would purposely kiss you in front of haechan just to be petty and see his reaction LMAOO

tho he doesn’t seem like the possessive type, he would get clingy towards you when schedules abroad comes up 

“imagine you came with me to Thailand that would be so cool, haha im kidding! i mean… unless??” “ok fine!! i’ll stop guilt tripping you but like just so you know i’m gonna be crying on the plane tomorrow.”

ok. renjun may be a relatively small man but do not underestimate his power/anger like if he found out you were ever mistreated in any way he will fight. like rip to whoever hurts you because jun would roast the heck out of that person (touch them and i’ll destroy you vibe)

your dates will either be aimlessly exploring the city and trying to find the best hotpot spots or food spots in general to just chill nights at your houses just enveloped in peace

you would feel so comfortable around each other, and could feel that the relationship was stable from the start

he seems like the type to communicate problems well and stress the importance of it. even tho it can be hard to communicate sometimes just in case it may hurt the other’s feelings, he makes sure to address the problem on the early stages because he cares and wants to be with you in the long run

he doesn’t seem like he would throw in this much effort for people he thinks isn’t worth his time and energy 

the best thing about dating renjun would be that you would feel at home with each other, you guys realise early on that you are each other’s rock, that you can trust each other with your lives and be each other’s driving force to become your best selves

[jeanmoreaue]

did anyone ask you your fav aftg characters yet? can you rank them with whys and ofc your fav books from series rank them all

omg if someone did in the past, i have a memory like a goldfish so im happy to repeat haha my favorite books in order from favorite to less are TSC, TKM, TRK, TFC (but it’s all very close) and then:

1. Jean - i made this blog in 2016 with this username haha. idk what it is about Jean but he’s struck a cord with me even though i didn’t care much for him on a first read of aftg

2. Neil - it’s close with Jean though, i really like Neil

3. Jeremy - honestly this surprised me but he’s above Andrew to me and i can’t rank Kevin above Jeremy. he’s intriguing to me. like a roasted chicken

4. Kevin - i really enjoy that Kevin has flaws. that’s why i like him. Kevin deserves happiness and one of my favorite moments is when Kevin says “and my dad comes to all of my games”. (i do like to critique Kevin’s choices though 🙏)

5. Andrew

6. Cat

7. Matt - i like Matt

8. Dan - honestly in books she’s a little underdeveloped but when i fill in the gaps i love her

9. Allison - same with Dan, a little underwritten but i fill in the gaps

10. Aaron

11. Nicky - i used to like Nicky a lot more but the longer i stew the more Nicky’s comments and his assault of Neil rubs me the wrong way. i do appreciate Nora including that bc it shows how everyone participates in rape culture but still

12. Renee 💀 - okay please forgive me i had a whole thing written out about how she’s underdeveloped and a plot device but it was getting so long so i just would like to say that i want to like Renee and i’d like to believe my dislike isn’t being driven by internalized misogyny (but maybe influenced by my personal experience with religion)

8, 19, 22 for the Hannibal asks 😊

Thanks, Dia! <3

Questions from this ask game.

8. Favorite dish?

Oh, you might hate me for this, but Bedelia's leg is hands down the most stunning and emotionally impactful dish. For a nasty book fan like me, eating someone while they're sat at the dinner table is quintessentially Hannibal, and while the scenes with Gideon are beautiful in their own way, they can't compare to how absolutely radiant Gillian Anderson is in that post-credits scene.

Janice Poon's food styling is impeccable and sooo romantic, with pomegranates, roses, flowers spilling out onto the table, and a bed of ice representing the ninth circle of hell in Dante's Inferno (positioning Bedelia as the ultimate betrayer). And the ti leaves studded with blackberries are gorgeous! Honestly, were her leg still attached, Bedelia could wear it as is to the Met Gala.

Plus, a pit-roasted leg is iconic (I head canon that Will dug the pit because Hannibal was too injured from his bullet wound). No dour "come from clay, return to clay" references here; this is a celebration. Also, there was a version of the script where Hannibal carved a portion of the leg and served it (see the pre-made cuts on the far left) and ahhhh I wish we could've seen that. C'est la vie.

[I feel so guilty choosing this one right in front of your salad. I promise I love Bedelia! Had Hannibal cooked and plated Will's brain in Dolce, that probably would've been my fav dish instead. I'm just a slut for the original brain-eating scene. 😭]

19. Do you relate to any character? Any lines?

I always get Bedelia when I take quizzes, and that makes sense to me! I'm reserved around people I don't know. We're both analytical and too curious for our own good. "Greed and blind optimism" lol. I'd be on that flight to Paris, too.

^ Me when I'm having a panic attack.

Also, her esoteric dialogue is so me writing meta. Girl, what are you even saying...

22. Have any personal head/heart canons that you don’t hear talked about often?

I don't hear most of my personal head canons talked about often because they're incredibly angsty! For example, I believe that:

S3b physically and mentally broke Will, and he needs Hannibal to put his pieces back together post-fall.

Post-fall Hannibal still needs to work through his past with Mischa/Abigail and his tendency to destroy the things he loves (an ever-present threat in his relationship with mentally-vulnerable Will).

Until these conflicts are resolved, they're both unstable and self-destructive, and it's a major impediment to their life on the run.

I also love the idea of toxic yuri marlana.

Basically, I want my favs to suffer as much as possible, bc that's what I find most interesting. 😇

[peetapiepita]

A few days ago, it just hit me that I've never known a real person as nice and good as Josh in my life, not the people around me, and definitely not other celebrities from the info I got.

People are just finding out how insanely nice (not my words, this is from someone who met him when he was a tween/young teen) he is this year but I'm remembering stuff from years ago because I've been following him half my life and I know stuff that I probably shouldn't. 😅

Like, he used to help random strangers carry their groceries when he was shopping. Not even ordinary people do that! He did that knowing the people he helped recognized him.

When he hears people talking about him in his back, not sure who he is, he'd walk up to them and introduce himself to spare those people the embarrassment. He never gets mad at people for not remembering his name. He even talks to people good-naturedly when they call him Peeta. (I was a victim to a celeb's wrath when I couldn't remember their name. It was awkward AF.)

I even remember a person who sold celeb autographs for a living saying he's the nicest and most grounded child celeb they've ever met and those people meet EVERY celeb. Some celebs start being rude to them because they're always around, asking for more autographs. Not Josh, he made an impression on them by being nice.

Even his exes' fans miss him, thinking he was their favs' best ex. I see posts like this made by Vanessa and Victoria's fans REGULARLY and it's been years since they parted ways. (He also stayed on good terms with all of his exes, even stayed close friends with some.)

When you see videos of him with friends just chilling in Spain, he's always roasting stuff or making water rounds asking if anyone needs anything while others were sitting down and enjoying themselves.

Then there's the concusion incident I mentioned recently. He was the one hurt, yet he was comforting Jen while she cried. How is that something real people do???

When 2 girls and their mom stalked him and went to his grandma's house because they knew he'd be home for Christmas, he joked about it. An average person would surely flip out and yell at them. He took it as a joke. That's just insane to me.

Not to mention the support he's always given to all the disadvantaged groups, LGBT, women, and POCs. He never waited for it to be a trend to start advocating for equality, he was always in the marches and demanding equality on the front line. He acknowledges his privileges and always remains grateful for them.

He's not perfect. He has weird quirks and he loses the motivation to work sometimes, resulting in the hiatus that he just came out from. But he's already unrealistically nice and good as it is.

The fact that he's been like this his whole life makes it even more unbelievable. Dude's been in the public's eyes since he was 7 and nearly everyone who met him said he's the nicest. That's a huge achievement.

I don't think a lot of fictional characters would top him in this, either. His character Peeta is the only contender I can think of off the top of my head. That's probably why he's perfect for the role.

I’m flying through Season 4 right now, but I also want to watch Fear the Walking Dead. Is there a certain point in TWD where I should start it? Or does it even matter?

[ask-a-w]

Watched Part 5 & Part 6 of Nick Apostolides playing RE4R. Wrote down more interesting stuff that caught my attention.

Parts 1 & 2 Parts 3 & 4

Part 5:

- Marcio clarifies the comment he made in the cast stream that he filmed on his knees was just a joke. He was never on his knees but Marcio had to look above the VA’s heads while Nick & Gen had to look down at Marcio’s knees to make sure the characters were looking at the correct eye line. The same technique was used in RE8 when VAs who filmed with Maggie (Lady Di) had to look above her head.

- Marcio keeps playfully roasting Nick for this stream like he did in Part 3.

- VAs don’t have to look exactly the same as the characters. Many people are spliced into one character such as the VA, face model, body model, body movement mocap staff, stunt mocap staff, etc.

- They did not have to improv too many lines since the script was already pretty good but Steve Kniebhily (cinematics director) was open to suggestions.

- All cutscenes were mocapped but if “some scenes was short”, then it’s just FADR (facial capture), voiceover lines are mostly for gameplay moments.

- Everyone had a blast filming RE4R as they had camaraderie and good rapport with each other, compared to other shows/games where people just come in to act and then leave.

- The VAs are asked about their fav Leon death scenes. Nick’s fav death scene to film was when Leon is brought to his knees and having his head lobbed off with an axe in 3 chops. Gen liked seeing Leon’s head get eaten while Marcio liked seeing Leon have a chainsaw put through his chest.

- Marcio had lots of fun filming the Salazar battle lines as there were angry lines, monster lines, non-monster lines (before transformation), creepy lines, etc.

- Nick accidentally eats the golden egg for the Salazar boss fight during his first try. It was hilarious. And then Leon dies so Nick gets a second try…

- Marcio was protesting against the golden egg but the stream voted for the Salazar omelette so Nick eggs Salazar on his second attempt. Gen wasn’t keen on the golden egg either since “it would make the stream shorter”.

- Marcio is disappointed by Nick’s usage of the egg but says “oh well that’s the only way you could beat me”.

- Stream votes for a rematch without the golden egg since Nick didn’t want to go to the island without having Mike Kovac (Krauser) on stream.

- Nick fights Salazar on the third try without the golden egg, he mostly uses the magnum on him.

- Marcio & Gen start cuddling their cats after the Salazar boss fight.

- Gen would be happy to play Ashley again if Capcom wants to make more stories with her.

- Gen filmed the audition for Ashley in her bedroom due to the pandemic and was happy to get the callback.

- Gen finds FADR hard to do since the VA is just alone with a head cam to capture the facial expressions and they have to look in the correct direction. There is no one else to act with.

- Gen was very bad at filming Ashley running down the stairs when Leon was trapped in the cage. She had difficulty running and looking up as the stairs she was filming on was a bit flimsy and there were no banisters for her to hold.

- Gen has spoken to the body model for Ashley. She has sent a message to Ashley’s face model but has not gotten a response yet.

- Marcio had to do a funny walk when he played the Verdugo as he had to pretend to be very heavy.

- Nick & Marcio both lost their voices during recording. Gen did not lose her voice as she did a lot of screaming for her previous acting roles so she knows how to preserve her voice.

Part 6:

- Mike has been a fan of the game since he was young and was honoured to work with Nick and many other wonderful people.

- For the Ada & Leon boat scene, Nick jokingly said Leon has so much hairspray that his hair isn’t being blown by the winds.

- Mike explains Krauser’s voice is based off James Hetfield (from the band Metallica) before he got vocal training and wrestler Jake “The Snake” Roberts. Both destroyed their voices so Krauser is also a bit raspy sounding from yelling.

- Mike likens Krauser & Leon’s relationship to Sabretooth & Wolverine.

- Nick feels all the scenes that were filmed were organic and “made sense” for the characters.

- The scene where Ashley is carried on Krauser’s shoulder, Gen was not on Mike’s shoulder due to covid restrictions (at that point in time), she was elevated on a wooden platform and had to act like she was carried away. Mike was very impressed with her performance.

- They talk about Leon’s middle name, Nick mentions how he doesn’t have one as one person in each generation of his family do not have one. Gen’s middle names are Sterling Ghost, not kidding. Mike’s middle names are Aiden Christopher and his first name was going to be Aiden until his grandfather said he would like a grandson named Mike.

- Gen talks about the audition process, she sent in a tape that was filmed in her bedroom. She was not informed what company the game was from but was told it’s a AAA game with a survival horror theme. The lines were completely different from the final product. She and her partner guessed either RE, Silent Hill or Deadspace. She got a call back for an in-person meeting on Zoom and saw Steve and other Japanese names on the screen so she narrowed it down to RE or Silent Hill. After she booked the part, she got a package that had the character design for her character and knew it was RE4. Gen was thrilled as she just switched agencies right before the pandemic and before the switch, she was asking various agencies on how they felt about her auditioning for video games. Some said “we could try” while the one she eventually signed on said “yes, we do have some actors doing video games”. This was her first video game gig after switching agencies.

- Gen did mocap (no voiceover) for a small game that had Michael Adamthwaite (Merchant) in it and both of them got along well. She did not know he was going to be in RE4R too so it was a pleasant surprise for her to meet Michael again.

- Mike got the audition notice when he was on vacation with his wife’s family. He had no printer for the 8 pages of dialogue and had a dilemma on whether he should write all 8 pages by hand… Eventually he wrote down the script and memorised everything. He got back home on the final day and sent in his tape, thinking he would not book the part. He was called back for an in-person audition and did a knife fight against no one in an empty room. He had five separate audition meetings and was only told what game it was on the fourth meeting so he changed his audition strategy to suit the game. He was elated when he got the part.

- It seems the VAs each had a 20 minute talk with Steve where they talked about anything. Gen talked about some of her fav games that coincidentally were games he directed and she did not know Steve directed them at all.

- Mike did weapons training upon getting the part even though no one asked him to. He wasn’t sure how much guns Krauser would use in the game. He then cites a video called “Surviving Edged Weapons” where there was a scene of a guy with a knife and another guy with a gun. The fella with the gun can only draw their weapon upon seeing the guy draw his knife. Gunner has to try to see how close the kniver can be before he is unable to fire the gun accurately and then die from the knife stab. The answer is every time it’s 21 feet or less, the knife wins over the gun so Krauser’s statement of knives being faster in close combat has some truth to it.

- Nick learned the one-handed gun chamber check on an air soft gun for a short film he did and asked if he could do that for Leon in RE4R. He was given the go ahead and that’s how that scene came about. It is difficult to do on a real life gun and easy to do with rubber prop weapons.

- Out of all the lines they recorded different versions for, Ashley’s chandelier line had the most number of variations. There were some versions when Ashley did sound pissed, or sounded like a mom, or sounded very impressed. They wanted Ashley to be both kind of scolding & impressed at the same time.

- Mike has a wall of weapons due to his work. If he can’t use a bladed weapon, his weapon of choice would be a sap.

- Nick & Gen had a lot of fun filming the scene where Saddler controls Ashley. Nick found it difficult to twitch while standing still on the spot.

- Mike was very surprised by the very thirsty DMs for ASMR stuff. Nick has had people requesting him for feet pics. Gen just avoids her DMs entirely.

- PSA: Please respect the VAs and don’t DM them with requests to fulfil your kinky fantasies. They won’t yuck someone’s yum but they are just not into that. They are human too and that’s not the reason they have social media. Gen said if she was into that, she would have Onlyfans but she doesn’t. So if you want your fantasies fulfilled, go to Onlyfans and not IG DMs.

- Steve really liked the idea of Leon & Krauser jumping into scenes. Mike said his legs & knees had quite a workout while filming.

- Mike had a lot of fun recording lines of Krauser intimidating Leon.

- Mike jokes about Krauser oiling himself “to make him fight better” and the washboard abs that you can do laundry on.

- Nick & Mike were riffing off each other for the final Krauser battle especially when Krauser says “Training’s not done. Last lesson starts now”. and Leon responds with “Nah. Time for the teacher to be taught.”

- Other outtakes they did for the above lines were “I didn’t sign up for this class.”, I’ll see you in detention.”, “You’re just mad because the teacher didn’t give you a gold star., “Time to clap the chalk erasers.”, “You’re suspended, rookie.”

- Mike was happy to have two mutated arms instead of one in this game. Krauser’s right claw arm was initially a hammer arm.

- For Krauser’s death scene, Mike remarks Krauser can’t pick up the weapon he loves so much ‘cos he essentially ruined himself.

- At one point in the initial script for Krauser’s death scene, Krauser was supposed to put his hand on top of Leon’s to force the knife down but they realised the monster arms won’t really allow Krauser to do that.

ok but I do like that everyone actually gets a reaction to Uryu's betrayal, kinda shuts up the "he wasnt significant" naysayers in the fandom--BITCH HES SIGNIFICANT TO HIS FRIENDS AND EXTENDED FAMILY

"What dont you like chickens" LMFAO Renji woke up ready to sass because between this and the fight against Mask....

"Good for you" RUKIA AND RENJI PLS NEVER CHANGE I LOVE YOU BOTH

AAAND ZOMBIE BAMBI. FML

YORUICHI IS BAAAAAACK

aaa they did such a good job with the nostalgic parallels on this, ugh it makes me wanna go watch SS arc again back when the stakes were technically way lower but just because the core cast was ignorant lol

lol the dual Ichigo Orihime head tilt was cute

loved that shot of Ichigo, Orihime and Chad lookin badass and ready. Protect them!!!

"whats with that brat" people dont like to be misgendered, is whats up (no seriously they couldnt fine a single extra alt line for the reason that Gigi got pissed? We had to keep the phobia in? ok -_- )

sorry but as a writer, Yumichika suddenly being this observant and picking up on what the audience already knows just on observation, without any indication of how or why he's make the leap from "theyre bombs" to "they make whatever they touch explode"....its such a ooc-for-ic-knowledge moment to be able to have these two have a prayer of fighting back. So while the rest of the fandom is made about like 1 frame or not getting Bambi with her top unzipped, I'll be over here rolling my eyes at how this wasnt changed

I know people are probably mad about the pervert line too but because they actually did edit that line, it becomes directly about what Gigi said about being "excited" and yeah thats sick and twisted, hi, psychopath serial killer energy

"Um I wasnt asking why youre shining" LMFAO ROAST HIM GIGI

the fact that I know the fandoms been saying that scene was "hot"....and it actually is so much worse in the anime because of the voice acting....theres a reason that dialogue reads R rated, its meant to, and its meant to disgust you and theres a reason I stay away from like 95% of the fandom thats all im gonna fucking say on that

"you think im ordinary when you just said I was outstanding?" "dont take it personally, compared to me everyone is ordinary"

not me thinking about how Uryu might outwit the use of those reishi locking things

yeaaah like I know Gigi's powers are fucked up but really imagine fighting these people and realizing that not only can one of them create zombies they can control, but theyve done it to people you know and recognize. Again, no wonder the Quincy are viewed as abominations?!

Arrancars!?

DID THEY JUST USE THE WORD FUGLY OMFG!?

"I came to see that four-eyed Quincy to make him pay for what he did to me" what, so he can absolutely destroy you again? (lol sorry, I LOVE Cirucci, shes one of my fav Arrancar but GIRL. He's gotten stronger since then, I don't think you wanna actually go for him again. Love the shoutout to that tho!?)

characters being able to be revived like this really takes tension out tho lol

so like....we're all in agreement that Mayuri is a "just like what you're fighting" type character, right? Like I get loving him for being twisted and honestly open and obvious about it (unlike other villain characters and in particular some of the Quincy)... like on the one hand as a PERSON, I'm like "love to hate this character, kinda badass in a sick way". but yeah like. He's just as bad as the Quincy and I think it puts a lot of his actions in this arc into perspective in a really interesting way

Gigi singsonging while healing Bambi is really disturbing and I love this character archetype a lot so its nice to see it done well. Shes MEANT to disturb you

FUCK. AND THERES TOSHIRO. I ALMOST FORGOT

HYYYPPPPPEEEE

[m1ckeyb3rry]

PAUSE DO I SPOT A YONA PFP??? If I’m wrong don’t say anything because that’d be embarrassing oops I’m like squinting try to zoom in on the icon shshshsh

Yeah of all things I was really not expecting blue for kiyora…definitely was giving me some warm tone vibes but oh well ig??? Barou’s red and black color combo >>>

Stop I definitely played the star wars one at some point too LMAOO I’m about the crack open the Rio angry birds for old times sake atp

Fanon interpretations are just the bane of all characters’ existence…which is why I usually stay clear from a majority of the fandom LOL I’m ngl I said I’d watch and did not even start ep 1 but I’m going now!! Will update you on thoughts fs LOL

REAL he may not be throwing hands but that doesn’t stop him from throwing shade!!!

LMAOAO you really said “nuh uh that’s Tullia’s man” I have no complaints about lack of Isagi content he’s the protag he’s got enough out there

No if they made Barou look good from the start he’d 100% have more fans…I know we’ve mentioned this at some point but kaneshiro trying to make Barou be the handsome gorilla like villain kills me a little like wdym?? Maybe that’s why he looks so crunchy in the beginning too

Honestly it’s not even the horror aura or anything the whole tongue out Rin is just uh…not my thing LMAO can’t wait to see what happens next tho (Karasu moment soon pls)!!

Also HAHAH GL LOCKING IN!!! You got this we trust you to cook and serve o7

- Karasu anon

YESS it is a yona pfp!! it’s her in an official art w hak although ofc hak is cropped out…hakyona is so tabimira coded LMAOAOAO plus i love yotd sm so i had to go back to the yona pfp (i had this pfp a while ago LOL) and it only helps that it fits my theme so well w the flowers matching the gold!!

they could’ve given him purple like reo is literally the only character w any shade of purple but like imagine even a lavender or smth for kiyora?? maybe i’m just a fiend for the purple eyes + black hair combo LMAOO praying we’ll get a character w that at some point since both karasu and kiyora were busts 😩 barou never disappoints though his colors are so good (i think my other favs are hiori’s because the shade of blue is sooo pretty, yukimiya’s because the brown + orangey gold is surprisingly rlly pleasing?? and nagi because i like the contrast of the pale haired character having the black skulls and death aura LMAO)

angry birds is just one of those defining games LMAO like it truly is so characteristic of that era (alongside candy crush bruh that’s such a classic that even though nagi canonically mostly plays first person shooter games i always make him a candy crush + subway surfers enjoyer i just think it’s sm funnier)

LMAOOO can’t name a single character that was improved by their fanon characterization…i wonder if people hate on any of my characterizations 🤔 like “omg why did she make karasu a loser…why is rin an emotionally unintelligent emo…why is kaiser repressed…why is nagi roasting everyone” HAHAHA oh well though they can feel free to scroll if so 😒 and yes keep me updated w thoughts for sure ☝🏻

NO FR like he (and kunigami for that matter) are so tullia love interest coded that idt i could write for them…only if someone requested ig 🤔 and LMAO yes the itoshis aiku and isagi are not suffering by me not writing for them there’s plenty of others to fill those tags up 😭

maybe it’s just a cultural thing where kaneshiro was going for handsome gorilla in comparison to what japanese people tend to be built like but all that i see with barou is fine handsome amazing huge husband KFNFSJSJ like if i squint ig i can see it but just barely 😩 bruh i need to write for barou or smth i feel like we always hype him up in our convos but there’s zero content of him in the miraverse (besides fwtkac bestie having a crush on him ig?? she’s so real for that though…girlie wanted nagi reo AND barou she has taste…ended up in an enemies to lovers arc w otoya though 😓💔 it’s her punishment for also wanting isagi ig)

yeah i get the narrative reasons for tongue out rin and admittedly it is a creative way to show him releasing his inhibitions however i’m very very grossed out by saliva and mucus and snot and stuff like that so it’s not my fav visual for sure 😭 PRAYING FOR A KARASU MOMENT SOON THOUGH he’s had a line or two in like every bm vs pxg chapter so there’s no way he’s not going to do smth soon i hope…also wait just remembered that aryu is ranked higher than him in terms of bids rn BRUH if fucking ARYU makes it and karasu doesn’t i’m crashing out 😰

YES LOCKING IN i’m hoping to get one of the reqs done like tn/tmrw night so look forward to it!! it’s one that i think people will rlly enjoy 👀 (at least the idea…we’ll see abt the execution LMAO)

[ikusayu-no-hana]

guden thought dump

(pronouns will vary, it's not deep I prommy)

the OP is so so so hot everyone is x100 more beautiful somehow . FANS. truly whats hotter than women dancing w fans. actual fav op after kiden's.

ok so im v bad at parsing lyrics in songs of any language by solely hearing them but im p sure they mention Ishiyama - the temple at which it is said murasaki shikibu wrote out the entire tale.

i've heard that ayana has a background in ballet?? norimune could high kick me any day of the week

being bi really amplifies things

hajimeyouka ^^

well the goal here is to make the tale of genji into actual history. that would implicate and fuck up the existing imperial lineage ig.

its soooo weird to see kasen being so friendly and vibing w his teammates bc usually he has a massive stick up him . he even lets ookurikara go his own separate way pursuing the shikigami (?) like???? thats a step up from the hostility theyd share n he's more trusting of kara in this honmaru.

individual fights now. norimune really is stealing the show i cant tear my eyes off herrrr.

its so cute how nansen and himetsuru call each other hime no aniki and nan-kun........ and nansen being taller than hime too. like an elegant elder sibling indulging the younger scruffier one.

hmmm so in GM the 'rainy night conversation' scene where genji and co. r dissecting what kind of woman would be the best to pursue takes place in hahakigi, literally the second chapter, and the opinions of women they put forth in the text r presented as worldly advice that spurs genji to realize that he loves fujitsubo, and in the long run, also shapes his motivations behind kidnapping wakamurasaki ("it is probably not a bad idea to take a wholly childlike, tractable wife and form her yourself as well you can"). while the entire thing does reek of misogyny its more nuanced and bealievable given that the characters justify their opinions w anecdotes (also very fucked up in their own right). guden sort of downplayed the nuance there by solely having genji, to-no-chuji et al focus on beauty and a few quick lines resembling a summary of one or two paragraphs of to-no-chujo. it serves its purpose but......i would have liked it to be a bit longer.....

OHHH MY GOD one of them says 「美しさは人を惑わせる」 / beauty leads people astray which is just like kasen saying 「美しさは兎角人を狂わせる」 / beauty tends to drive people to madness' in kiden. didnt realize my blog title could fit both sutes

*touken danshi roasting the misogynistic convo* this has so many layers bc. written by a woman -> story centred around a casanova -> adapted into a stage play for a franchise that only has male characters -> all of the roles are played by actresses

this kasen uses his hands while talking and its such an extrovert trait its throwing me off lol.

gyoukan: between the lines of the text vs honpen: main story. so gyoukan is the designated period where the people behind the roles of the characters of genji monogatari retain their original sense of self, while during honpen they completely become the characters n forget their real selves. so koshosho no kimi (one of murasaki shikubu's close friends) is the antagonistic empress mother of the tale, kokiden no nyogo.

hmmm i wonder what the mechanism that determines the turnover of gyoukan/honpen is. the touken danshi arrive in heian-kyo, and find the entire era under control of this dichotomous influence, but how did the hra even manage to pull off smth on this scale? and why even give leeway to the touken danshi to break this process by keeping the gyoukan as a loophole?

but actually id say gyoukan serves its purpose in expanding upon the finer aspects behind the work and working it into the narrative.

so murasaki shikibu's caught on to the fact that the novel's story should be destroyed to stop this historical aberration and passes the book onto koshosho no kimi's keeping and thats why shes been resisting the forced characterization even tho its honpen rn

they made rokujou no miyasudokoro an ONMYOJI

koshosho hands three books to kasen. im glad they kept this little detail bc in fact genji monogatari is divided into three parts: the first two deal with the life of Genji and the last w two of Genji's prominent descendants, niou no miya and kaoru. theres much academic contention abt how much of the later chapters murasaki shikibu herself wrote, whether there were supposed to be more chapters, all the complications added from the fact that no original text exists etc etc but sute's understandably not involving itself w all that.

how come rokujou Knows shes in a story,,,,

like what is the criteria for someone to be aware theyre an actor

norimune's so Pretty its like hes a statue in a display case made to be revered . the curves of your lips rewrite history etc

kasen literally has sparkles in his eyes when talking abt how genji is a tale of love + how his prev master was one who lived alongside love and nansen paws him and says 'you bring up your former master everytime' wwww

norimune and himetsuru whispering to each other behind norimunes fan is,. literally the peak sexy use of a fan

apparently hosokawa yuusai used to be regarded as an authority on genji .... and thats why kasen is so passionate in his explanation of it. what a nerd (affectionate)

nansen being disgusted by the fact that genjis #1 love was a woman that resembled his mother . girl it gets worse hang on tight

make way for the hottest most haunting fucking part of this sute (starts reciting th names of all 54 chapters) boy am i glad i read all the chapters guden covers

honpen time....utsusemi's chapter. really fun that they included the snippy remarks towards genjis lecherous insistence and nansen's tsukkomi to genji flattering himself. this man keeps getting more and more disgusted by genjis actions towards women its so funny

yeah they did the sex.

the poem that earns utsusemi her name in genji monogatari (just gonna shorten that to GM from now on) is: 'underneath this tree, where the molting cicada shed her empty shell / my longing still goes to her, for all i know her to be' referring to the kimono she leaves behind while escaping him. but the poem kasen recites is 'just as drops of dew settle on cicada wings, concealed in this tree / secretly, oh secretly, these sleeves are wet with my tears' which is actually utsusemi's own reply to genjis aforementioned poem in GM.

RARE kasen boke moment. at least he realized he shouldnt make utsusemi accept genjis advances for the sake of distorting GM's plot bc that would be against her wishes. consent > tentatively correcting history. rare W there. genji could never.

interesting moral conflict here...norimune and choumou would rather cut down petty things like consent for the greater good of protecting history.

ookurikara went on a solo mission to confront genji while the rest (all 5 of them) go witness utsusemis chapter. so their plan mutsve been to break apart the story by either distorting the women's part of the story, or killing genji himself. what kind of insane confidence did kasen have to let kara go on his own to kill genji lol. also whats with the uneven team distribution....

ookurikara smack cam😔😔

genji cant die bc it isnt his time to die, as per GM. so he has infinite revival and plot protection to back him up

ironic that genji calls kara dekuningyou/ wooden puppet as an insult for a hollow and manipulated being bc at the end of the day isnt he also supposed to be bound by the story thats woven around him? yeah hes gained sentience now, but originally he existed inside the fourth wall, just like originally touken danshi used to be metal. but then again, this role-reversal has been brought about precisely so that his story will be recorded as reality, as his own actions, and that would make him better than sword puppets who will always be invisible and obedient toward the saniwa.

kasen: thank you for your hard work, i appreciate it ^^

kara: im not ur errand boy

kasen: ya thats why i expressed my gratitude (classist nod)

no one perfectly knows what the creator intended save for the creator themself, so only murasaki shikibu can know the contents of kumogakure, and she alone will be able to kill him.

thats the 'lack' in GM which leaves the death subject to interpretation. what genjis last moments are like, who he was surrounded by, etc etc will never be known to us. but since theres no description of his death, in what manner will he die....

for the love of god theyre SOOOO. (not meant in a shippy way tbc)

rokujou's actress is so good. thats a fucking villain alright.

hmm when the characters place blame on murasaki shikibu for making them the way they are, theyre also discounting the coherence and agency of the tale that has its roots in courtly affairs

with sentience also comes the indispensable fourth wall . and the newfound denial of free will.

chilllllls when genji wraps the manuscript around kasen as the newly formed genji.

"a tWeLvE LAyErEd KiMiNo woNt SuiT yOU" BET

BECAUSE THATS SOMETHING NO TOUKEN DANSHI WILL EVER GET TO EXPERIENCE IT MAKES ME A LITTLE INSANE

hes a father....like an Actual Biological father......

ok but that doesnt happen in GM like in no shape or form do they share a happy-married-couple-cradling-their-child moment like that but also i am not complaining

youve got to fucking wonder when aoi says "resembling hikaru-gimi, how beautiful you are!" to her baby is it resembling kasen. Like does she mean the abstract concept of beauty that is general rather than particular or does it have purple hair blue eyes etc. sorry

ach whys sanchoumou spouting nikkaris battle lines. and norimune's saying kogarasumaru's and hime's doing hasebe's

actually i really like this. the government's actually outdone itself . using the power of anecdotes of swords and attaching them to unrelated swords to make them stronger...well ofc the expected end result is for mkzk and to sort out the number he's done on the timeline, but this is still! so! delightfully fucked up!! the end result of increased power takes precedence over individual stories!!! the ichimonji themselves dont seem to mind the fact they might just be an experimental citadel after all .

does that mean that kasen having gracia as master wouldve made him stronger than if he was regular old kasen w tadaoki ..? and ookurikara being stronger without the date attachment ..? but they still do retain their original characteristics. except that kasen is not as intense. <-idk if thats just the way kaichan interprets him or it's intentional writing

hello ms murasaki shikibu finally. fitting that the author takes the role of she who is forever out of genjis reach, and the person playing genji is an avid GM fan thats willing to doom history as we know it to save the author. get you a man like that etc etc<- NOT.

its so very sad that genji has to find a replacement for fujitsubo in a child of all places.

'Because it's from zuka and the cast is all female, the harshness is alleviated, and because it's a female cast, the hellishness of the women who live the story as reality stands out' <- someone i follow on twt said this and its so so true

ive read a bit of murasaki shikibus diary + the context of it and the reason why people were so dissuasive of murasaki was bc she was keen on pursuing the chinese texts and those were, as a rule, male territory. while men concerned themselves w chinese characters, women wrote in kana, and . that is why the big fabric of script they use in guden has only kana on it !! bc its a tale by a women for women. 'The Tale of Genji’s readership too has been naturalized female, at times discussed as if women were the exclusive audience of the tale, not least because by Murasaki’s time in the Heian period fictional tales had long been identified as a generic category for women.' (x)

lmfaoo suetsumuhana's actress-courtier saying she didnt like sei shonagon's makura no soushi as much as shikibu's GM (<- context is that shonagon served the empress teishi and was the literary jewel of her entourage while shikibu was empress soshi's. shikibu had some not-so-polite words to say abt shonagon in her diary w)

rattles cage DEATH OF THE AUTHOR DEATH OF THE AUTHORRR

perhaps soshi asking shikibu abt why she decided to write a tale of 'man and woman' is the only instance she was asked abt her intentions behind it

i like shikibus answer actually. it doesnt advocate for separatism of the 'man' and 'woman' binary, but shelters the motivations and flaws of characters under the umbrella of simply 'people'. ofc the book is a criticism of male whims and ofc guden does take it that way, but the motivations and fates of all characters cannot be put solely in the neat category of 'due to gender', bc in the end even the characters and ofc shikibu herself realize that this is how the wider society has molded them to be. so, it is 'a tale of people'

thatd mean touken danshi are outsiders with no relation or stakes in the tale, they are neither women who have loved/endured affairs, nor are they men that whimsically toy around in love. they are there to voice (ours, the audience's) morality.

so the logic used by th Nobody is: waka and poems are permissible bc they r expressions of the heart, but not prose that contains fiction, which is why writers like izumi shikibu and sei shonagon will be spared while murasaki shikibu will fall into hell. all out of respect for buddhist precepts. (mental note to translate shiotsuki shu's blog entry soon)

and making the lie that is GM into reality/truth will absolve shikibu of her sins

just realized...didn't Ishiyama temple become a sort of tourist spot for allegedly being the spot where GM was completed? Ironic how such a 'heretical' piece of work could come into being in the house of god.

really good stuff in this paper

seeing how protests only arose from the 12th century on and there arent any surviving records of such criticism from the time shikibu wrote , im inclined to think that maybe the unnamed man that confronts shikibu is literally some rando guy from the latter centuries that got picked up by the HRA, from when the availability of printed books led to GM being way more accessible . bc come to think of it - its highly unlikely shikibu would Not know a courtier, the only class that was in the know abt GM. but then again, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, so maybe putting that 'nobody' there as a placeholder male aristocrat is so he can serve as vehicle for the problems that arise when fiction is come across by those who were unintended as target readers in the first place, in this case, men.

also its sort of ironic how the guy (the nobody) is overly concerned with the metaphysical fate of shikibu while the flow of history has proved agin and again that she remained not only an author that was respected and idealized, but also a historian that was treated as a valuable source on heian noble etiquette. typical patriarchal delusion stemming from misplaced concern.

well either way, whether all this is true or not, its p clear that there have been exaggerations and unproved myths surrounding shikibu and GM all along, whether be for or against, so should another lie really make any difference in the grand scheme of things?

'....aren't we also a big lie? what a sinful existence are touken danshi' norimunes fucking line deliveryyyy

i bet real genji made quick work of koremitsu during gyoukan to appear in front of genji!kasen as koremitsu himself lol

ah the ave maria from kiden

when the fuck did they discover they can travel to diff chapters by flipping pages ???????? itd be funny if kasen just realised that spur of the moment

fitting that empress soshi mentions chuang tzu's 'butterfly who dreams' analogy to describe their situation bc historically, she was so interested in chinese lit that she studied it under shikibu's guidance

wait so this has strayed far enough from reality that the intention has transformed this genji monogatari re-enactment into a genji kuyo? oh this FUCKS

norimune's old man laughter >>>>> mkzk's old man laughter

'the only actual person here is that man playing genji?!' theyre in platos cave. theyre all in platos cave. we were all in platos cave until now. we were all butterflies dreaming we're humans.

its the fact that everything was truly black and white until now history was history and GM was a story that was well liked until some guy came along, threw everything into chaos, managed to mix up actual existences with falsified ones, gave rise to incoherence in the story due to the existence of multiple genjis at the same time, with the sole hope that in the future some people would dig up his bones and recognize GM as a true story, but the only way to stop this contradiction is itself a contradiction: killing the main genji in kumogakure would indeed lift the altered existence of heian-kyo, but it would also accomplish his death which was what he hoped for in the first place. is this really then a plot with no holes?

good lord but that is quite a nose on suetsumuhana. it looks like...something else entirely. not gonna say what

wakey wakey @ ookurikara. congrats to date masamune for appearing in three difftypes of stage adaptations

ive said it already but its so striking how different the types of scenes we're shown of kasen as genji and kara as genji are. kasen's always romancing and getting the best scenes while kara isnt shown romancing at all

norimune is a beaut x100

GOD himes fight sequence w all the wings flapping sfx and the twirling is so elegant ..... what was that HRA formation tho lol they were just being goofy

did i mention norimune is so mesmerizing everytime she's onstage . the sex appeal is off the charts like genuinely

i keep forgetting its a woman in ookurikaras role bc she looks so cool.

I will literally never get tired of the sute trope of having kasen's fight sequences the last w dramatic music precluding his appearance onstage and him spreading his arms wide and going ware koso wa nosada ga hitofuri, kasen kanesada nari! and then wrecking shit up (god there r so many similarities between this fight and kidens hissatsu fight)

shut upppp shut up the kuyou spotlight circling the kikyou spotlight as he realizes his true story >!>!!>I!UH@*#$%^&*(struggles to breathe

final form genji looks like hes stepped out a wuxia novel. jun wu vibes fr

yayyy final fight

i think so far in the entire play norimune's had her stomach slashed in the same place thrice

i like how they include little waltz (?) dance steps into hime's fight choreo

CHILLS as norimune says theyre not the ones who'll kill genji and then all the women walk on stage

ummmmmmmmmmmmmm

🔪⁉️

uhhhhhhh

-_-

the honpen retains its influence on them....ofc they wont be the ones to kill genji. that would be incoherent with the storyline . what do you call it when the characters drawn by a woman for women are in the end too crippled by love to kill the source of their suffering? .... someone who is until the end mean in his love....

after rewinding multiple times......yes wakamurasaki does stick the knife into herself . the thrust overlaps w kasen pushing his sword into genji + lights go off so its jus t silhouettes

ah

its so fitting that genji dies right after wakamurasaki here since kumogakure follows right after maboroshi (the chapter in GM where wakamurasaki dies)

whats a little homoerotic cheek cupping between enemies...heh

we cannot leave heiankyo in any media without mentioning shuten douji ofc

kasen................why . how do you justify that

they let th HRA fucken run off w genjis dead body like bro. BRO I AM SHAKIGN YOU SO HARD . HIS CORPSE WAS RIGHT THERE HOW COME NOBODY THOUGHT OF HOLDING ON TO IT TO YKNOW, ACCOMPLISH THE MISSION THEY CAME HERE FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE .

AND DNA TESTING EXISTS????????????? COULDNT THE GUY'S BONES BE TESTED AND THEREFORE PROVED NOT TO BE GENJI BC HIS GENE POOL WOULD NOT MATCH THAT OF THE PREVIOUS IMPERIAL LINE OR SMTH. I DOUBT THE HRA METICULOUSLY PROGRAMMED THE STORY TO MAGICALLY ALTER THE GENETIC MAKEUP OF THE GUY

kasen says its alright bc itll be imperceptible but. no ? if GM is proved to be real it won't be the first fictional novel discovered anymore??? that's a Big thing

nyan's silliness is so refreshing after That

what. was that contradiction. why . what was the neeeed for a flimsy ending like that. just to secure their citadel's destruction? semt-san i know youre better than thisss i know you can write a complicated ending to your complicated premise but this really wasnt it

'even though you might be broken, gozen sure is carefree' lets just carry on like normal after saying that yeah

hime saw kasen stuck in platos cave slowly realizing he should turn around and said no we hold on to the illusion that everythign right in frotn of us is reality. harsh ? maybe, but it coheres. the ichimonji are after all government tools.

hell is other people hell is us . theres so much potential here for sequels of zukatousute, esp since they brought up og tousute's manba and mkzk. feels cruel to leave that honmaru hanging.

curtain call now

shu is so cute she talked abt how she was out of letter sets so she couldnt send her honmaru's nansen for his kiwame

sayato sumiki saying she'll feel #gudenloss

noooooo maomao is so close to tears ;-; but also WOW the gap moe

so ayana's voice is so much higher than what she uses for norimune... i could listen to her for hours ….. heart is taking -1000 dmg

zachouuuuuuuuuuu aaaaaaaaa. [mimes closing a book] "i believe its time to close this story." *someone from the cast whispering "kawaii!"*

all in all, i think the genji monogatari + jinbutsu storyline was pretty solid and did make for a gripping plot but the ending that the touken danshi chose troubles me to no end......ideally kara wouldve snatched genjis corpse and theyd have given him a proper cremation and theyd have pondered the same things they do after the hra take away genji

or what would also have been fun is kasen and kara realizing their altered stories were due to the government's tampering and thus letting go of genji was a conscious decision between two of them setting up for a nice kurikase / ichimonji-seifu dichotomy where they chose to remain true to themselves while the ichimonji willingly give their stories up and resign themselves to being mere tools

......plus the fact that none of them ever mentioned smth like hope to see you in another sute work! in the curtain call...........aaaa it's too sad

the members go :O and haneul rolls onto his side and smiles

dk, to hn: U HAVE FAVORITES!!!!! even though dk is one of haneul’s favs hehe

sc: I AM BETRAYED??

js: one time i tried to get up and grab a snack, but haneul just pulled me back and hugged me even tighter lololol

sk: you two are GROSS you’re like a married couple 🙄

js: shhhhh anyways 🤭 he literally acts cute to me and doesn’t talk to me if i ignore him, he’s like a kid

the members: HE LITERALLY NEVER DOES THAT??

then the timer goes off

hn: all of it is true. *does a handshake with joshua*

then haneul proceeds to make fun of and roast the shit out of joshua. shua was Not happy

js: i let the members and fans know that you also have a cute side and this is the treatment i get back 🙄 we are breaking up 🙄🙄

hn: wow okay 🙄 it’s my way of showing love 🙄

wz: you two were together?? 😭

˖࣪ ∗‪‪ ˖ going seventeen: best friends

joshua’s character was like a cool kid

and then haneul’s character was kinda like an athlete/jock

sk: woahhh sebong high’s best athlete going up against sebong high’s future rapper!

hn: you’re gonna get absolutely destroyed, hong!

js: think you’re talking about yourself, kang!

members: WOOO THE TENSIONNN

seokmin starts doing that hiphop thing he was doing in the best friends goses 😭

it was a close game though. like a point off but joshua won

always targeting each other in the dongaseu game 😭

haneul is always mocking shua and sticking his tongue out at him like a kid LMAO

hs: HAHA look at haneul hyung!!

hn, to js: >:P

but then they ended up sitting next to each other after joshua betrays seokmin 😔

*who do you want to sit next to?*

hn: hm. the hong jisoo kid.

js: i like the kang haneul guy, cool vibe

˖࣪ ∗‪‪ ˖ neulshua on running man (svt pls go on running man more i had to make this up)

went on running man together during fear era

doing introductions together obviously!

mcs: they’re both so handsome! the song is so good!

mcs: is there anything else you would like to show us?

js: haneul is actually very good at sexy dances, i say he does the choreography the best out of all of us

everyone gasps!! like “woooahhh!!“ and of course everyone is curious because haneul is a very charming man indeed!

hn: i’m mostly in charge of sexiness 🤭 *running man cast is excited for haneul’s sexiness!*

haneul goes to the front and immedietly gets into the mood once the music starts playing

you can see joshua smiling in the corner 😭

and of course. being haneul, and just like every sexy dance, he does the typical body rolling + pushing his hair back LMFAOOOO and you can hear joshua laughing in the background

the captions, repeated scenes, and sound effects make it so funny too 😭

then he goes up to joshua and even joshua joins in and everyone starts screaming HAHA

two very handsome men doing a sexy dance together and they are INTO IT.

they even went viral the day it aired because of it. literally two pretty best friends

and the fact that it was during fear era, a darkteen era, didn’t help

˖࣪ ∗‪‪ ˖ “that one neulshua live” (this one is a bit longer but i made this one up :P)

haneul went live during hot era and this live has gone down in svt vlive history

basically to set the mood here 😁 haneul and joshua were bored in haneul’s room so haneul was just like “wanna go on vlive” and shua was like “sure” so here they are! barefaced and looking a little bit too good… promoting hot just by their looks bc they are HOT 😩

js: “hello carats!”

and ofc comments were going absolutely insane and losing their minds

“oh my god i want both of them” “MY BOYFRIENDS” “NEULSHUA LIVE I AM ASCENDING”

finding funny comments and laughing, asking carats how they are and how they like the album, etc

until

joshua starts reading the comments and carats notice haneul staring at him a bit too intensely andhesslightlysmirking 😳 HE’S LIKE “damn… shua”

and of course carats notice

“haneul is just like me i would be staring at shua like that too” “oh my god KANG HANEUL JUST TELL HIM HES HOT”

and shua notices and looks back at him

haneul is stronger than me if barefaced black mullet hot era shua looked at me i would’ve died

they meet eyes and haneul being the flirt he is when he’s with shua, he obviously winks 🙄

and joshua gets flustered and goes back to reading comments LMFAOOO AND NOW HANEUL’S CACKLING FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES

hn: *winks*

js, flustered: “anyways…”

hn: “DID YOU JUST START BLUSHING”

js, now with a hand over his face: “NO….”

hn, smug: “it’s just my charms 🤷‍♂️”

that was just one example of neulshua’s flirting throughout this whole vlive 🙄 haneul’s pickup lines, calling each other pet names, etc.

one word. tension

one funny part that became an iconic neulshua moment was when they read a specific comment and just start laughing super hard for no reason

js: “a comment just asked if we were dating”

hn & js, in unison: “no!”

then they just start absolutely CACKLING. FOR LIKE 10 MINUTES STRAIGHT AGAIN.

the amount of edits that were made bc of this vlive…

they aren’t beating the dispatch allegations. they’re fighting them. they are teasing them.

a/n neulshua bestest boys 😔

Thanksvember 2021

Thanksvember masterpost! This year I’m going to try to do (mostly) fics I didn’t include last year. Huge shoutout to all these fics and writers!! I appreciate each and every one of these so much!

November 1 - Going for Gold by @unhealthyfanobsession . I love @unhealthyfanobsession ‘s writing style and the way the individual character arcs come together. This Olympic AU fic had great pacing and writing. I was always on edge waiting for the next chapter!!

November 2 - I Don’t Want to Wait by @charincharge . This is 90% of the reason why I get through mondays. This Rowaelin AU is so freaking adorable and honestly the high school drama stuff hits different when you’re in pandemic high school or when you start college (it’s weirdly nostalgic but also like, whew, thank god I’m done with college applications). Anyway, this fic is the perfect amount of sweetness and suspense. I cant wait to see where it goes!

November 3 - Mr. & Mrs. Archeron by @moodymelanist . I mean, an AU where they’re both assassins but don’t know until they cross paths on opposite sides of a case?? *chefs kiss* It definitely keeps you on your toes! And the nessian is, of course, exquisite. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for some Nessian with action.

November 4 - Wingplay by @simpingfornestaarcheron . This fic is sexy and hot as FUCK. If you’re looking for a little smutty spice, go check it out! 🔥

November 5 - Dark Roast, No Sugar by @whimsicallyreading . This rowaelin fic is coffee shop AU + a TON of angsty drama. I’m obsessed!!! I love the writing, and the pacing is just perfect — so much anticipation! Definitely recommend if you want an exciting Rowaelin fic

November 6 - In which she makes a friend by @bookstantrash . I love how Nesta opens up and getting closer to Kaelin (who, by the way, is one of my all time fav OCs), and I love Cassian and Kaelin’s interactions, too. The Nessian is obviously amazing! I love this fic and I seriously can’t recommend it enough 😍😍😍

November 7 - Let Me Be Your Home by @perseusannabeth . Regency Nessian? Uh, yes please!! Every detail about Nesta’s past hurts like a thousand paper cuts but it just makes her healing better and all the acts of kindness Cassian gives her that she’s not used to hurts in the best way. Seriously go read this right now!

November 8 - Scandalous by @arinbelle . I adore her writing (there’ll def be more of her fics on this list). This fic tho… *chefs kiss* I love a Nessian fic with sprinkles of angst and this one is like, my comfort angsty Nessian pregnancy fic. I love every single thing about it and have reread it a LOT. And I love it more each time.

November 9 - Famously in Love by @batboyazriel . First off, I love the premise for this fic! I mean, famous YouTubers that the internet ship? What’s not to love! Also, the way the narration follows all the different couples keeps the story perfectly paced. An awesome Nessian & Feysand & Elriel modern AU!

November 10 - Somewhere by @thewayshedreamed . I love her writing & narrative style so much! This fic is a rollercoaster of growing out of a toxic relationship and learning to have a more healthy love and made me feel so deeply. I really enjoyed every bit of Nessian’s progression, even when I wanted to cry.

November 11 - Come and get me by @c-e-d-dreamer . @c-e-d-dreamer ‘s writing is my newest obsession! This Nessian fic in particular gave me all the feels. 10/10 recommend!!

November 12 - Lay Down Your Burdens by @highfaelucien . Oh my gosh, @highfaelucien fics hit hard every time but this one has me drowning in bittersweet angty feels. Just all the pain and trauma and love in this one is impeccable. It’s utterly perfect and I’m so in love 😍

November 13 - Prepare for trouble, make it double by raging_fire (ao3). I’m breaking my “only fics by tumblr users” rule with this one but it deserves it. I obviously have a soft spot for Nessian pregnancy/parenting fics, but I don’t usually like OC-centric fics. This fic, which focuses on Nessian’s kids, proved me so wrong. I was so obsessed with this, the updates made my day and I even made a GC just to fangirl over it and make theories. You have to go check it out for your own sake!!!

November 14 - The Asshole from the manor on the hill by @moe8 . @moe8 has many great fics but I had to pick this amazing one in which Nesta confronts our least favorite asshole, Tomas ✨ The part 2 is great too!!

November 15 - An Exception by @confusedfandomslut . This fic 🥵🔥 I mean, modern AU with rival Nessian AND stripper Nesta? 👀 the ending is perfect too. Definitely recommend!

November 16 - For You by @rhysand-vs-fenrys . I think about this fic ALL THE TIME. I’ve reread it ALOT. Not only is it Lysaedion (!!!) smut, it’s also hilarious and adorable and just overall perfect. Some passages I think about:

“What are we?” “Pre-married.” Aedion answered instantly. When Lysandra did not respond he began adding to the list, “In love. Lovers. You are courting me. I am courting you. Engaged… Best friends? Confidants? You’re a beautiful, powerful woman and I’m… your toy?” He was less and less sure as he went on, but his answers were snarky all the same. “Two adults? Two non-humans? Roommates? Future permanent roommates? Too beautiful for our own good? Did… did I say ‘partners’ already?”

And:

“Just- if I’m being honest the wax was kind of… when we were playing with it I was fine, but I was picking drops off some very delicate parts for a week.”

November 17 - Holiday of Healing by @starbornvalkyrie & @aurips . Not only is this an adorable 6 part Nessian fic (and it’s the perfect time for a reread, now that the Holidays are coming up again!), I also love the Rowan-Nesta and Cassian-Aelin friendships 😍 This fic is seriously amazing. Go give it a read!!

November 18 - The Seven of Us by @julemmaes . A fluffy collection of oneshots about Nesta & Cassian and their 5 kids!! Literally every single one of these oneshots is so perfect and cute ♥️♥️♥️

November 19 - Nesta’s Smile is like the Sun by @vidalinav . I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to love someone who struggles with their mental health. It isn’t always easy to be supportive — often it feels like you’re useless and nothing you do rly helps them. But anyways this Nessian fic was everything I needed. I love your writing and this one hit hard, since I relate to both Cassian & Nesta.

November 20 - Made by @arinbelle . This Nessian Mafia AU fic… *chefs kiss* the PACING! The drama! The writing! The romance! The crime! Everything is absolute perfection ✨

November 21 - Boughs of Holly by @ncssian . I’m still so soft over the fact that you wrote this fic for me 🥺 I adore @ncssian ‘s writing, and her characterization of the ACOTAR-verse characters is always incredible — seriously, one of my absolute favorite fic writers and that’s saying smth bc I don’t have a life and constantly binge read fanfic. Anyway this one is super cute and perfect now that the holidays are rolling around again!

November 22 - Misplace Mail by @live-the-fangirl-life . @live-the-fangirl-life is a pro at writing fluffy cute oneshots & mini series! This series is not only hilarious, it’s also 🔥🔥🔥 Def go check out more of @live-the-fangirl-life ‘s writing if you love fluff!

November 23 - I’m here by @talkfantasytome . This Lysaedion fic series breaks my heart in the best way. It’s adorable but bittersweet and just absolute perfection. ♥️

November 24 - Supernova by @sirendeepity . I’ve only read the first chapter so far (which was phenomenal btw) but I KNOW this fic is gonna hurt like hell and I’m gonna thank it anyway. I know I’m going to be addicted to it. I love the premise, and the Nessian and the writing 😍✨

November 25 - Childhood memories by @happy-smiling-things . First off, I ADORE @happy-smiling-things writing!!! There are so many amazing Nessian fics so it was so hard to pick one. This one delves into Nesta’s past, her childhood trauma, and her growth, and I love it!!!

November 26 - Senseless by @mariamuses . This fic is such a memorable classic! It’s a little angsty — you know, because who doesn’t love a little hurt/comfort? Especially when it’s Nesta being vulnerable and Cassian trying to help her through it all? Go read it if you haven’t already!

November 27 - Your Love by @writtenonreceipts . I love all of @writtenonreceipts ‘ fics — I definitely recommend checking them all out! This one is written in a style I find really creative and interesting, and I absolutely love ♥️

November 28 - Lost by @arinbelle . This is a hauntingly beautiful fic. I cant even describe it. Just go read it when you have the emotional stability (or lack thereof) to appreciate the painful beauty.

November 29 - A favor by @ncssian . This is worthy of breaking my “no repeats from last year” rule. I cannot explain just how much I love this fic. Every single part of it is incredible. The characterization of Nesta, Cassian, and the rest of the characters within a modern context is so interesting to watch and just *chefs kiss*. Trust me, if you love nessian, you’ll love this. Do yourself a favor and go read it ;)

November 30 - A Lion’s Pride by @pitterpatterpot . This comes as a surprise to absolutely no one bc I’m obsessed with this fic and do free advertising for it 24/7. I reread it so many times that I almost memorized the whole thing so I had to take a break so that I could forget a bit and fully experience it again. The exploration of Aedion’s character is just so perfect, I love it so much. Did I recommend this fic last year? Yes ofc. Will I do it again next year? Probably. So go read it so that you can come scream about it with me ♥️

[serenity-songbird]

You write for South Park? Yayyyy

If you write for Eric Cartman, then do Cartman. If not theeeen do Kyle.

s/o who’s got some German roots? Calling him “Liebling“ (darling) - my fav pet name for someone. If Cartman/Kyle is interested then talking about history.

Ahhh hope it’s fine with ya

Request In headcanons btw))

I will absolutely write for Eric Cartman. I will also write for Kyle because he is my favorite character/South Park crush. Thank you for requesting and specifying exactly what you want. (It makes it easier to write.)

-Alright so let's admit it, Eric Cartman definitely made fun of your German accent when you first met. He's Eric Cartman sooo...

-It wasn't until he got to know you that he eased off a bit. (Again he is Eric Cartman so of course he will trash talk you to the guys. He can't let the guys know he has a soft spot for you).

-If you're a Baker, he will definitely fall deeper in love. Your German Chocolate cakes and apple strudels are too die for.

-Secretly loves your accent and you know it.

-Was confused the first time you called him Liebling and immediately assumed it was an insult. You had to calm him down and explain what it meant. Now everytime you call him it, his heart beats a little bit faster. (He won't ever admit it).

-Tells the guys that Liebling means Hunk in German. (Kyle didn't believe him and Googled it. The guys totally roasted him for it and now you are no longer allowed to call him that when they are around. ONLY ALLOWS IT WHEN YOU ALONE. *Emphasis on ALONE*)

-Suprisingly, when you two are alone he really is a good boyfriend. He may not exactly be the best listener, but if you're upset he genuinely tries to cheer you up in his own Cartman way.

-Will definitely ruin someone's life if they ever made you upset or did anything to hurt you.

-He is definitely a great cuddler.

-His mother loves you and invites you over for dinner all the time.

-In conclusion, you're relationship with him may not be perfect, but he really can be a great boyfriend when he puts in the effort and really does love you.

(This gif is just 😳😳😳 My heart!!! 😍😍😍)

-I think its needless to say that Kyle will fight anybody and everybody who dare speak ill of you. (It almost always Cartman).

-Cartman once again made fun of your accent and background at recess and Kyle took off gloves (shown above) and just beat the shit out of him.

-You, however, were starstruck and blushed like a schoolgirl with the way the gloves came off. You love him so much.

-He absolutely adores you and could listen to your voice all day.

-100% loves your accent and gets weak everytime you call him Liebling.

-He definitely looked up German nicknames and settled on calling you mein schatz (My Treasure). Also, he wanted to impress you so the first time he ever said I Love you he said, "Ich liebe dich, mein schatz" Definitely used Google translate and practiced for hours to get it right.

-The first time you kissed he was shy and inexperienced, but within time (and secretly practicing at home) he become a really good kisser. 😘😘😘

-Gerald and Shelia absolutely adore you as well. Ike loves you and will always get you to play games with him. You interact so well with him and fit so perfect in his family. Kyle's heart swells at that fact.

-Kyle is the best boyfriend and will spoil you rotten with dates and gifts (you, of course, doing the same).

-He loves that you listen to him and always stick by him no matter what. (Give me boy some slack South Park. Why you gotta do him so dirty in the recent seasons? He is trying his best).

-He was a bit insecure at first because all his past crushes didn't work out so well, but you proved to be different and stuck with him through the ups and the downs.

-All-in-all you and Kyle are perfect for each other and definitely a power couple.
