BOOKS OF 2024
the list nobody asked for. again <3 i think this time around i read less books than the previous year?? but still 😤 we did it boys we read some fine books. reviews under the cut since i love yapping and i cant be fucked to make a goodreads account
Cromorama - Riccardo Falcinelli this book was sooo cool so engaging so interesting, its a look into the history and science of colors but its also so much more rlly one of my favorite nonfictions of all time
The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells disclaimer I only read this series up to Rogue Protocol, but I enjoyed it, I rlly liked the characters and the worldbuilding and the short novel format and most of all murderbooottt my best friend murderbot. when im in the mood for scifi again ill read the rest asw I prommyy
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous - Ocean Vuong this is one of those books that as u read it you can already tell it will stay with you forever, dont be fooled by the shortness every single line will Kill You. it will kill you dead.
The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida - Shehan Karunatilaka probably my fav book of the year, it's beautiful it's gripping it's deep it's scathing it's irreverent it has a careful and deeply cultural magical surrealism it has sociopolitical satire it won the booker prize of 2022 and deserved it so much
Fuori le Palle! Privilegi e Trappole della Mascolinità - Victoire Tuaillon ill be hoooneestt I didn't find this uhh as groundbreaking as I was kinda expecting it to be?? but still it was a nice read and the "flipped" perspective to center the myth of """masculinity""" in a feminist text was interesting. also rlly pretty cover
Lavinia - Ursula K. Le Guin Ursula girl u did it again! constantly rising the bar for all of us!! another stunning book that sadly fell victim to the #girlboss tiktokification but DONT LET THAT STOP YOUUU its sooo good. bitches Love pre-hellenistic latin society <333 bitches love even more when the boundaries between story and characters and reality and fiction blur in such a masterful way that Lavinia can have a conversation with Vergil and it doesn't feel not even the littlest bit forced or out of place <333
Exordia - Seth Dickinson Went in for the giant snake alien/human toxic yuri stayed for the weird mystery body horror stuff almost left for the overabundance of USA military stuff that I just can't be bothered to care about. I liked it way less than the masquerade but it Does have all the classical elements that make it a Seth Dickinson book aka fucked up women. Imperialism Critique. the horrors. the trolley problem. being Very Long. etc
Iron Widow - Xiran Jay Zhao wow guys. this book fucking sucked. like I'm speechless. you'd think that with the crazy popular rep it has it would have smth worth salvaging but uhhh- anyway go stream cocoon by corrupter which is iron widow if it was actually good
Fire from Heaven - Mary Renault nothing more special than a cultured fujo and her special golden shiny perfumed blorbo that everyone wants to fuck so bad <333 finally a book that healed my tsoa related trauma, the only thing that could've made it better is if hephaestion discovered brat taming
The Spear Cuts Through Water - Simon Jimenez beautiful and with such a dreamy magical atmosphere once again I LOVEEE interwoven stories, and I feel like some of the writing's style Choices are so original. it starts a bit slow tbh but I found it impossible to put down from the second half of the book til the end
Voyage of the Damned - Frances White well. it was a cherished super pretty shiny gift from a beloved friend so that's why I finished it but uh. uhhMMMMM uhghhh whhhhfhhmmm uhhhhh hmmmmm uhhhhh. yeah. I'm iconic 💅
Bad Gays: a Homosexual History - Ben Miller, Huw Lemmey ill be honest I didn't expect to like this book as much as I did but its really nice!! its a critique and analysis of white male gayness told through the lives of some Notable Controversial Homos, and I liked how it rlly paints a full picture not only of their lives but also of the socio-political landscape that shaped them and the concept of queernes of the time. only lil gripe tho is why there was only One woman and One Japanese guy then-

Recent transfer, DI Choi Yuri finds herself confronted with a new cityscape, unfamiliar people, a hostile partner, and a homicide that is certain to bring back unpleasant memories.

↬ moving into your new apartment brings back memories of your biggest mistake. neighbours au e2l
a little bit of your heart by @yoongiofmine f s a ft. myg
↬ you had everything you could ever dream of; the career of your dreams as a music producer, the best friends you could ever wish for, and a exes-turned-friends-turned-fuck-buddies relationship with min yoongi. you knew you and yoongi would never move past that and you were okay with it. Until a friend from your past comes back into your life, offering to give you everything you deserve, everything yoongi couldn’t. Will jungkook show you what you’ve been missing? Or will the new guy threaten yoongi enough to do something about it? 
lost stars by @/yoongiofmine f s a
↬ Jungkook was lost. He didn’t know who he was anymore, so he decided to leave and find himself. But he wasn’t expecting to find you along the way, an island girl who has no idea who he is. Jungkook has a secret. But so do you. idol au s2l
secrets we keep by @/yoongiofmine f s a
↬ Being a camgirl was never your main goal in life, but when the pandemic hit and you lost your job, you were desperate. Now, two years later, the world is back to normal and  you are one of the top creators of OnlyChingu; the South Korean version of OnlyFans. A website where idols hide behind anonymous profiles in search of that connection they lost during lockdown. Jungkook was never into this type of stuff. Until he ran into you. He knows you’re his perfect girl, his ideal type. Will he be able to put his own insecurities aside when chasing you? Or will you let the secrets you keep ruin you? idol au
i hate you, i love you by @jungblue s a

things you don't know by @btsgotjams27 a

entangled by @caelesjjk f s a ft. kth
↬ Jeon Jungkook is Spider-Man. He saved your life twice. But he’s also been your sweet lab partner in college for the past two years and now someone who is more than just a friend. You care about him…maybe even love him. But something tells you that you aren’t quite sure what love even is. How could you when you have feelings for someone else as well? Kim Taehyung is the handsome stranger you’ve seen around campus and somehow ended up dancing with at Club Onyx. You were upset that Jungkook had stood you up once again and Taehyung made you feel like you were on top of the world. What you didn’t know that night, is the dark secret Taehyung is trying desperately to hide, but the closer the two of you get the more difficult that becomes.
when the end comes by @oddinary4bts f s a
↬ Seven years after you've started dating Jungkook, long distance creates a wedge in your relationship.

↬ after finding out your boyfriend of 6 years cheated on you, you find yourself moving in with three guys in a loft. what could possibly go wrong?
horizon by @/sokooks f s a
↬ The way you approached life had started to break down Jungkook's emotional barriers. Jungkook couldn't deny that he was drawn to you in a way that was entirely new and unfamiliar. You had become more than just an assignment; you had become someone he genuinely cared about. It was the way you made him feel. With you, he felt more human than he had in a long time. Despite his best efforts to remain detached, his heart had other plans. angel au
searching for nirvana by @/sokooks f s a
↬ he shouldn't be here. he shouldn't be touching you the way he was- but he was here before him. he was your friend, not him. he knew your body, not him. he wanted to be the only one to touch you the way you liked. he he wanted you to remember that. despite the fact that he already had someone waiting for him. best friends au cheating au.

↬ you have twelve hours to make jeon jungkook fall in love with you. he's about to get married. you're the entertainment at his bachelor party - a burlesque dancer. long ago, he used to be the class representative and you used to be the class delinquent. nothing has changed and, yet, everything has.

better than me ? by @/7deadlysinsfics f s a
↬ jungkook is clear on what you both are to each other. still, he doesn’t want you to think anyone else is better than him
our first and our last by @thedefinitionofbts f a ft ot7
↬ The first time you met Jeon Jungkook was on your tenth birthday. On that day, he was nothing more than the strange man who jumped into a dark portal that suddenly opened in the middle of the park. The ten year old you just stood in the grass, strands of hair ruffling from the calm breeze that swooped by; head slightly tilted, bright, innocent eyes wide open and staring at him with wonder and disbelief. There was a certain amount of confusion, but your young mind was too naïve to question his actions or what they entailed. soulmate au

↬ You didn’t believe in soulmates until you lay your eyes on Jeon Jeongguk, the younger brother of your best friend’s husband. That is when you see the red string beginning encircled around your pinky and ending in his
serendipity by @rohobi f s a
↬ After you reveal your inexperienced sexual status to your best friend, Jungkook grapples with the news, startled by the idea that the girl he always thought could get anyone, is a virgin. After finding his porn at 3AM, you decide that maybe it’s about time to stain the white sheets of your world with the colors of a forbidden fruit Jungkook seems to have in the palm of his hands.
chasing shadows by @colormepurplex2 s a
↬ Your job gets you into trouble sometimes. Who would have thought crime journalism would put so many targets on your back? But, it’s happening again, someone’s threatening you. Only, this time, it’s not just you that’s in the crosshairs. Your best friend, Enola, is out on assignment and can’t help like she usually does. So, what does she do instead? She sends her brother, Jungkook, armed with a magic bag, a charming smile, and deductive reasoning skills that prove his worth as one of the best PI’s around.
I gasp once, and in that breath, I accept you in by @inkofyoonkoo f s a
↬ In which Jungkook arrives to your small town to spend the holidays, and you slowly let go of all the ghosts of your past. s2l fwb au
sweet nothing by @adonis-koo f s a
↬ Being a guest at the Jeon Estate after a mishap of being kidnapped and dragged into your brothers affairs isn’t all that bad. Truth be told it brings you a lot closer to the mobster and owner of the estate Jeon Jungkook himself. His two rules are simple, don’t cause trouble and don’t give him a hard time. Somehow you manage to constantly do both in the most endearing way despite being pregnant and waddling around most of the time.
three's a crowd by @/adonis-koo s a ft. jimin
↬ When your mom’s fairytale life begins to bleed over into your world you’re suddenly caught between two men and one big secret, what was supposed to be a relaxing trip soon begins to spiral out of control. All you wanted was a free vacation… ceo au

empty space by @ahundredtimesover f s a
↬ It started as friendship, turned to a casual fuck, then ended in heartbreak. Turns out, he wasn’t who he said he was, and years later he enters your life again, forcing you to face all the emotions you’d been trying to bury. 
OR Officer Jeon looks really hot in his uniform and you wish you didn’t hate him as much as you do.
as the world burns around us by @today-we-will-survive a
↬ You haven’t seen the sun in two years. The Virus wiped out a good three quarters of the world’s population and then the wars that followed wiped out half of that. After everything happened, it was only a matter of time before the different countries started blaming each other and emptied their nuclear arsenals. You’re still surprised Seoul survived – if you can call what it has become “surviving”
hotter than hell by @chateautae f s a
↬ jungkook, lucifer and king of hell, has been cast out of the crimson underworld for a reason he’s unsure of. embarking on his journey for the answer should’ve been easy, if it weren’t for you, the human that nurses his wounded body in her home, and accidentally witnesses the truth of his identity. kickstarting a hellish adventure with the devil himself, you discover lucifer is the most infuriating company ever; and jungkook finds out that maybe his answer to returning home lies within his annoying human confidant.
to turn a bad thing good by @/chateautae f s a
↬ jungkook’s drunken one night stand goes awry when he comes to learn not only is he being forced into an arranged marriage, but it’s to the very girl he abandoned that night—and things get a lot more complicated when you’re the best hookup he’s ever had.
J’aime by @baepop f s a
↬ You’re the newest hire at a local café and head barista Jeon Jungkook takes you under his wing.
Written in the Stars by @/baepop f s a ft. kth
↬ You’re the girl of Jungkook’s dreams, literally. The only problem: you’re taken by his best friend
make me forget by @roseannekook f s a
↬ You are the lead vocalist and main dancer of your company’s first girl group, but on the fourth promotion of your debut song things don’t go as planned. At the brink of an uprising scandal, you seek refuge in the bathroom stalls…and find it in the arms of no one else but BTS’ golden maknae Jeon Jungkook.
one of your girls by @ggukiepie s a ft. pjm
↬ fwb au college au fuck boy au inspired by the song
boy in luv by @/ggukiepie f s a
↬ just two idiot best friends in l*ve college!au, bff!jk, athlete!jk, student council president oc, cheerleader!oc
the boy who left by @/gujoonim a
↬ As your eyes staring deeply into your possible client-to-be’s eyes, something crossed your mind, it was that pair of eyes that you were looking for when you being abandoned at the aisle on your wedding day. ceo au
love sewn by @jvnghxope s a
↬ You’ve never cared about the thin-as-paper walls of your beloved apartment until Jeon Jungkook moved next door. You could hear everything –from his late-night parties on Saturday, to the quality time he spent with his girlfriend in the intimacy of his bedroom. One day, everything ceases. Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and you find yourself knocking his door before you can think it twice.
not yet by f s @bratkook f s a
↬ jungkook feels the pang of guilt in his gut when you spot your recent ex out with his new girl, and what better way to make the jerk hurt than to have him believe you were now dating him, the neighbor he had been insecure about your whole relationship.
Tumblr media
one shot
blazes of deceit by @periminkle f a
↬ when the opportunity to finally venture past the stone walls you’ve grown up in presents itself, you jump at the chance to discover the origin of those mysterious lights—even if the trip comes with a harsh truth and a suspicious, yet undoubtedly attractive, tour guide. tangled au disney au
southpaw by @starshapedkookie f s a
↬ Knowing Jeon Jungkook for the better part of your life, you thought you knew everything about him. Well, that was before you two disappeared from each other’s lives at least. When Jungkook suddenly finds himself buying you a coffee to rekindle your friendship, it leads to much more than you bargained for.
house of cards by @jeonggukingdom s a
↬ What does safe mean when you are chased by zombies, when every corner you turn could be the last one for you? What do words like home and future mean when you’re always on the run and every moment could be your last? They mean nothing and everything at the same time and Jeongguk is all of the above. He is your safe haven, he is your home and he is your future. But things like that crumble easily in your world.
enouement by @littlemisskookie s a
↬ War is Hell, but it’s what you had to do to take your brother’s place. Of course, between the days of Hell are little slices of Heaven you’d call your Captain, Jeon Jungkook. mulan au disney au
miss taken by @junghelioseok f s
↬you pride yourself on being a professional, but sometimes your students' parents really test your patience. single parent dilfjk jk e2l
the ex text by @shadowkoo f s a
↬ The 2 AM texts have started again. It’s a bittersweet familiarity that you can’t run away from, and despite wishing to forget him: no one will ever measure up to the exceptional standard set by your ex, and you’ll never have anyone as good as him either. Like a permanent mark on your heart, Jungkook’s presence has become an insatiable craving, an addiction you'll never outgrow or cast aside.
the proposal by @hansolmates f s a
↬Jeon’s the editor-in-chief for Big Hit Publishings, a closet romantic with a penchant for antagonizing his assistant on the reg. When his work visa is in the process of being renewed and he takes a trip to Norway, his eligibility to stay in America is on the line. However Jeon Jungkook doesn’t go without a fight, and in order to save his job he offers you a proposal you can't refuse. based on the movie the proposal e2l
red and gold by @/thedefinitionofbts f s
↬It’s no secret that genius, billionaire, international playboy, and philanthropist- Jeon Jungkook, better known as the CEO of Jeon Industries-and even better known as Iron Man, is one of the most intelligent, wealthy, and powerful men in the world. There’s nothing that can get to him or his ego, that is, until you happen to show up and give him a run for his money. 
burning bright by @snackhobi s
↬there are no secrets in the drift. if jungkook were to see the mess inside your head and heart, laid utterly bare, he’d turn away from you. based on the movie pacific rim
but we loved young by @jl-micasea-fics s a
↬Jungkook is everything you’re not, the ying to your yang. Your tight knit friendship nurtured from childhood survived the major life events that most don’t, and to that end, you suppose you’re fated to be together, until unrequited longing is eventually noticed, and boundaries are forever crossed.
the shoulder on which you cry by @lemonjoonah f s a ft. knj
↬ after moving away from your hometown five years ago, you’ve struggled on every return. each trip back being made out of haste due to an unfortunate event in your life. namjoon has always been there to help you through those moments. but when he can’t be there to support you during your current trip home, jungkook offers to stay by your side and be the comfort you need. 
illusion of choice by @hobibliophile f s a
↬ You’ve grown up with the Jeons, Jungmin and Jungkook, for as long as you can remember, your parents being very close. But little did you know that this is because you are in fact arranged to be married to the Jeon heir, Jungmin. However, a tragedy causes Jungkook to take up his brother’s mantle, and that includes becoming your fiancé.
the blue princess and her red rose by @/cutaepatootie f s a
↬ After all, he was her red rose, while she was just another one of the many blue roses that grew in the dying gardens of Greyria. princess au
rigor mortis by @readyplayerhobi f s a
↬ A night out at a bar results in you going home with a young and attractive police officer. But if you think the night was something to remember, that’s nothing compared to waking up to find a zombie outbreak in the city. A chance encounter with Officer Jeon leads to him helping you escape from the plague infested city.
lowkey by @joonbird s
↬ Jungkook is the nude model for your art school’s life drawing class.
part-time lover by @sketchguk f s a
↬there is no crime more perfect than marrying jeon jeongguk. your relationship is nothing more than a ruse - while your friends pester you for being perpetually single, jeongguk desperately needs a wife to complete the pristine image of a family, fooling his way through the parent interview at the nation’s most prestigious private school. only time will tell how deep your lies will run as you find home in one another’s minds. because untangled in the moonlight, he is but a spy, exposing a secret world of corruption, and you, an assassin, ridding the streets of danger one hit at a time. 
sweet apple biscuits by @rosaetae a
↬ a story about someone who receives letters from themselves ten years in the future and asks them to fix all their regrets and save a particular boy. inspired by the anime 'orange'
i'll be home by @wwilloww f s a ft.knj
↬ When your first love, Jungkook, disappeared from your village five years ago, no one thought he would return, let alone on the night of your betrothal to another man. 
white lies by @noteguk f s a
↬ in which Jungkook lies his way out of and into trouble. But he can’t tell white lies when it comes to you. 
yes coach by @/taleanewastime s
↬ You play in a local netball team and as a new season starts you have a new coach. Enter Jungkook, he may look soft, but he turns out to be a hard taskmaster, one who ruffles your feathers when he makes some changes to the team. Tensions grow between you through the weeks, until they finally reach breaking point.
spf 50 by @gimmeyoon f s
 ↬ If you have to spend your summer home from college working a job you hate, it might as well include sitting by the pool with Jungkook. Now if only kids could stop vomiting in it.
fifth wish by @jiminrings f a
↬ jeon jungkook, world-class socialite and nepotism baby, should be out every night to celebrate while he’s at his prime. why should he fake-date his bodyguard instead? alternatively, jungkook regularly throws coins to wishing wells with only one desire in mind — to get rid of you.

Thoughts for The Montkraken Episode
so, I just finished the chapter and… wow I have a lot to say. I took screen shots for every part I wanted to talk about and I think this rant will be SUPERRRR long so bear with me. Tumblr won’t let me add screenshots so when I have better service I’ll edit the post to add them. These paragraphs are theories and side notes that I wrote after reading a certain section so you’re gonna see my thought process throughout the story. As always, spoilers ahead so I recommend skipping this if you haven’t read it already.
Alright so I was once a hater of this ship BUT… the Shobaru shippers may have a point in this guys 😭. LIKE.. I HAVE THE SCREENSHOT OF SUBARU BLUSHING UHHH. That is not a heterosexual stare feller 🤨…
Tumblr media
AHHHHHHH THE FROSTHEIM DUO ARE BACKKKKK!!! I missed them so so much they’re so silly and deserve the best. Honestly the only two I trust in this school cause I CANT. I literally suspect anyone but them, but Imma be so disappointed if either of them are hiding something. I’ll be sad, but like I’ll help 🙄. I was actually so sad when the MC mentioned being the reason they could be in danger like GIRLLLLL DONT SAY THAT PLEASEEEEE. ITS LIKE THE ANGST WITH ADEUCE AND YUU LIKE STAWPOPP. Also when the Vagastorm kids were like “aw yeah Mido wouldn’t lie like that” it makes me happy that people can at least trust him enough to be honest and idk I found that kinda sweet :3. We’re also getting a bit of a timeline, like the One-Eyed Sleeping Beauty Murder being BEFORE the clash (sorry if this was already mentioned I don’t really remember stuff from the past chapters) which could’ve been a trigger.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, I feel like they’re trying to tell us that Jiro is Zenji’s brother because when he had that little laugh about the MC being scared of bodies, he said too. When you click the “too?” option, he just says that he isn’t the one afraid. It’s not Yuri as well cause he’s literally a doctor that is in the same room when autopsies are in session. Whatever the case, I assume he was referencing to Zenji, though it being a blurry memory. Little theory tho.
OK SO THIS IS JUST SO FUNNY TO ME. In Chapter 9’s title it says, “Girl Learns Shocking Truth About Monster”. I like to think the shocking truth was the fact he didn’t shower for 3 days 😭. CAUSE THATS THE PART SHE SOUNDS MOST SHOCKED. Idk that part was silly to me. THEY’RE OUTFITS FOR THEIR DORM IS SOOOOOO PRETTY. They ate I fear, a bit more than the other dorms. Also side note, they dropped A LOT of info with just how they word things. For example, Yuri saying “Jiro, you are well aware that I will not be associated with those germs AGAIN.” Soooo Yuri was in Frostheim? I don’t doubt it bc there’s another line that says “I’d rather not recall how bitterly cold that place is” which can MEAN TWO THINGS. I’m super sure that they’re implying that yeah, he was, but then something happened blah blah blah.
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH HYDE AND DANTE??? Like ok bitches, spill your shot to us too don’t be shy. So, confirmed by them, Dante and Hyde used to go to school in Darkwick (which I assume the rest of the teachers are too). That explains their back and forth. WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE WERE THESE LINES.
Hyde: “…You really are a softie, Dan-Dan.” (Haha Dan- Dan)
Dante: “It would seem that way to someone as cold as you.” (???) “…There are lines that shouldn’t be crossed, Hyde.”
Hyde: “…I’ll keep that in mind.”
WHATTTTT. WHAT ARE THE LINES. GO IN DETAIL ARGHHHHH. This gives us more info on the character individually too. Dante describes Hyde as cold… DANTE. So, it was obvious that this whole happy go lucky attitude was fake, but I expected to be more like Haru’s kind of attitude not like that yk?? now I know how much of a cash grab this game is, but I really hope they aren’t going to stretch the story out too long to the point where you have to P2W cause I haven’t paid a cent and I don’t plan to. I still want to learn more about them and stuff so :(. On the topic of Dante, there was a small flashback where I missed a word in the sentence that Dante said while talking with Alan. “I’m the man you supposedly killed.” Supposedly?? Now, I didn’t my catch this in my first run, but now it’s like wdym supposedly?? Shouldn’t you know? This is giving hella Jiro vibes and honestly, I’m getting sick and tired of these characters having a bad memory.
SPEAKING OF JIRO- he seems to have problems remembering things and they come back to him in the very weird moments (honestly a kin moment). I would like the think that he’s just suffering from the damages he had to go through from the clash. His relationship with Yuri is so… sad to me. Yuri seems to doubt him a little bit and I feel like he sees him as just a specimen, not much of a friend. Meanwhile, Jiro smiles a lot to Yuri and listens to him like a master, like that’s what he’s supposed to do. NOT AGAINST HIS OWN WILL DONT GET ME WRONG. He’s just so neutral about it it makes me a bit like awwww :(. They’re cute tho idrc.
Ok moving on to Haku and Tohma. (Ok at this point I’m getting nervous cause why are we seeing so many characters now. That’s probably just a coincidence). OK THESE TWO HAVE GOT IT GOING. Like there’s tension when you get their chat in the campus but this is like woahhhh… Also I don’t like how Tohma says “our wheelhouse? I see..” it makes me think he’s like implying “so you think you’re a part of them now?” IDK THATS JUST MY LITTLE STRETCH. Also poor Zenji, he’s like “aw yeah I died in vain lol” LIKE OUCH.
Nicholas. I DO NOT LIKE HIM. I REPEAT. I DO NOT LIKE HIM FOR A MINUTE OF A SECOND. The only staff I like are the cats, the grocer guy, and MAYBE Dante. LIKE HES SO… NORMAL?? LIKE THERE’S SOMETHING WEIRD GOING ON IK THERE IS. When MC says “I can’t believe Professor Nicolas would do something like that” I DO 😡🙋‍♀️. I am in full support of Yuri finding crimes against this guy.
Also, little other side note, I just realized that Yuri and Jiro have matching earring in opposite ears. It’s so cute.
Ok I might have to go back to the beginning and see what the “goat like anomaly” Jiro is talking about when he mentions the prophecy, cause I said “… the chancellor is a goat??” BUT ANYWAYS. Speaking of the prophecy, I’ll jot it down.
“The whisper of the new moon shall lead the champion to the academy on the solitary island. So long as the champion resides there, the world shall be sheltered from profound tragedy.”
Stating the obvious here, but this is most likely referencing to the last cutscenes we get when we choose our characters. I’ve checked the cutscenes again and there’s no visible moon, meaning it could correlate to the “new moon” portion. (Search up new moon to see what I mean). Assuming Solitary island means death, that would also help with the theory. So, whoever we chose in the beginning might just be the person who won the Laurel Crown.Honestly, this is just a silly little Drabble for a theory and VERY vague. Maybe the champion resides in the events of the past that we still don’t know about but this kinda helps?? Idk I’m just putting what I think at the moment. I’ll probably reread the game so I can get a better timeline. Also, Yuri’s rant about demon particles… doesn’t exactly sit right with me. Were they chosen to be resilient or was it just a birth thing?? Idk but I feel like a lot is missing from his theory. I mean, we’re using human logic to a supernatural cause so I don’t think pacts acting as allergies would work. If they’re not chosen, could it be that the ghouls can make pacts with more than one demon? I wanna see what happens if that was the case. Please comment if I missed something 😭.
Ok Towa appeared. (Why are we seeing so many characters I don’t like this) and we went back to that tree… WHAT IS THAT TREE?? And what the hell do you mean the fruit grew? What is that fruit supposed to be? An anomaly going to birth?? Is it supposed to represent the houses?? Motivation?? It seems so weird to me cause we just got introduced to that tree last episode. Sighs.
OK REN AND RITSU. WHAT IS GOING ON. I GUESS SINCE THIS IS THE LADT CHAPTER FOR INTRODUCING CHARACTERS BUT LIKE … STOP. I feel like something is going to happen with the MC pls 😭. Anyway, those two talking about ramen is so cute please don’t ever change you virgin and lizard looking freak 🫶( with love of course). GROCER GUYYYYYYY. YIPPEE :3!! I love that the cat is the owner and not the human lmao.
Also I will always be a MC defender cause she is so relatable. “Why are hospitals so creepy at night?” GIRL IKKKKKK. Idc what y’all say, the fact that she’s normal is keeping me sane from these freaky deaky events. ILOVE NORMAL CHARACTERS! LIKE MATSUDA FROM DEATH NOTE OR THAT ONE GUY FROM MASHELE. Anyways, I love her little comments and everything she’s so silly. Idrc if she doesn’t have much of a backbone cause honestly, she’s surrounded by danger so the best she should do is listen to the people that are constantly surrounded by it.
ALSO NEW THING. (Well idk if it’s new but yeah).
mention of a Dionysia Breakout. <—— Idk what that is, but it sounds like a little more. I love little details and slip ups thanks characters <3!!
HA! HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA! I WIN NICOLAS 😈!!! YOU DO HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE. AND I WILL FIND IT TRUST YOU WILL BE DELT WITH. I WILL KNOW THE PRIOR PAST >:(!! Also, Moby is being soooo annoying tbh. More character descriptions to add: competitive as a teacher. NO ONE WILL MAKE YOU HATE YOU JIRO ‼️‼️‼️ HES SO SWEET He literally asks if we’re scared and says we can hang back awwww. Though he doesn’t understand much, he can use logic and he can at least understand how we feel. It’s a nice sentiment :)!
I can’t take the transformation seriously I’m sorry. I’m still impressed by Yuri’s deductive skills and the transformation just sounded like he was constipated.
THE WHOLE BATTLE SCENE WAS EPIC!! MC HESITATING BECAUSE OF LEOS WORDS BUT STILL PUSHING FORWARD. YURI GETTING FLUSTERED. JIRO SMILING AND TRUSTING YURI’S ORDERS. THE FUNNY EXCHANGE ABOUT MUSCLE WHEN THEY WERE CARRYING THE POD. Those annoying ass pussy sticks we call Darkwick students 😡. JIRO LOOKING BADASS AFTER THE SHOT. URGHHHH I LOVE THIS CHAPTER.
HARU AND PEEKABOOOOO!! AHHHHH IM SO HAPPY I SEE THEM AGAIN!! I’m so glad he’s going to Hyde too cause I’m not ready. Also… the mermaid thing is so weird. For the Montkraken Mermaid, they seem to refer to it as “it” or “that mermaid”, but when they speak of the second mermaid, they use personal pronouns like “he /him”. Haru’s expression as well when he heard someone was abusing mermaid flesh… it’s a new one with a little crease under his eye. It’s such a sad face like, did he know this mermaid personally or was this fear?? Either way, I wanna meet him cause the other one was so pretty.
…You guys know the “I see who you are… you are my enemy” sound that’s on TikTok or reels or wtv? YEAH THATS SONG WAS PLAYING IN MY HEAD WHEN HYDE SAID WE HAD TO DO A SPEECH. HYDE IM IN YOUR WALLS. URGHHHH I HATE HIMMMMM. Call to action my ass IK either Taiga or Leo are gonna get their asses out of the door after the speech. OR BOTH. I’m starting to tweak.
NOOOOO THE SPEECH IS THE NEXT CHAPTER?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I feel so bad for Zenji… like I’m so deadass. Dude he sounds so sad about how he’s dead it’s so.. URGHHHH. ALSO I CALLED IT. THEY ARE BROTHERS. AHAHHAHA!! Well it was kinda obvious cause everyone thought it too but WOMP WOMP. Also I love his real name, Taro Kirisaki. It’s pretty :)!! But these lines killed me
“and though I have taken my final blow, my brotherly heart can’t help but worry for my kin. … Not that he has any idea I’m still around.” YEOUCH?? I DIDNT COME TO CRY BRO…
I���m tweaking out because of this speech bro. I’m gonna choose the corniest stuff and hope for the best. “I feel bad please stop for me 🥺” headass.
Taiga is officially my enemy as well. I called that shit about him leaving URGH. WHAT A FLIBBERTYJIBBET!! His outfit eats tho so it balances out. LIKE DAMNNNN. HE LOOKS SO GOOD.
DOUBLE?? TRIPLE??? QUINTUPLE???? HELL I MIGHT BECOME A GHOUL TO GET THAT MONEY GOLLY 😍😍😍!! CAUSE IN THIS ECONOMY??Also thanks Jin you a real one twin. Bouta split this cash with my wife and I’ll send you a wedding invite.
EDWARD. ED PLEASE. STOP PUTTING ME IN THE SPOTLIGHT… well it’s out now so woopy!! I really wonder what the others have to say about that cause they just gave really vague surprised reactions. Well, Ritsu documented it. I love that little guy please don’t ever change you silly.
NUMBER ONE CORNELIUS HATER IDC. Unless I know your intentions I DONT CAREEEEE. YOU ARE AN OPP IT IS ON SIGHT WITH YOU. SAME WITH YOU NICOLAS!! “I didn’t know whether to tell you or not I’m sowwy 🥺” CHUPA MI PITO HOE 😡.
… you’re telling me I didn’t have to do that awful speech because DANTE AGREED?? IM DONE. IM WHOOPING EVERYONE IN THE ROOM AND AURING THE PLACE OUT. FIRST ONES OUT ARE HYDE FOR NOT TELLING ME, NICOLAS, AND CORNELIUS. ARGHHHHHHH. Also, dude, who is that Janitor guy like seriously.
ROMEO??? AND HYDE???? WHAT IS THIS ABOUT BUTTERCUP?? Wdym worked for him?? What is going on… SPECIAL MISSION??? SHO??? OH NAW. I CANT TRUST NOBODY ANYMORE 😭
Towa crying :(. What does the fruit shrinking have to do with it now?? I’m so confused.
ALRIGHT IF YOU MADE IT TO THE END WOW YOU HAVE DEDICATION. Yeah this is my personal yap session to this chapter and it’s so URGH. I’m so excited to see the next chapter and I hope we get to see more and more. Now with the Gala in place, we can finally start WORKING. Based on the timeline, we have about … 8 months left?? So hopefully, for MC’s sake, she gets cured. BYE BYE UNTIL NEXT EPISODE!!

Sayori, bursting through the door: Hey guys, look at this.
*Everyone looks over at her*
Monika: What's going on Sayo-
*Before Monika can finish her sentence she is silence by a small minifigure of a genderless magic robot with a fancy hat and quill*
Sayori: I've recently gotten into painting figures and so I decided to 3d-print and paint our dnd characters!
*She takes out another 3 minifigure, one depicting a feline humanoid in heavy armor wielding a warhammer in one hand and a shield in another, another depecting a Big and muscular orcish woman with scars and long claws, and a final one depicting an Elvish woman in fancy regal clothes wielding a rapier*
Natsuki: Wow, I gotta adimit these are cool!
Yuri: They're extremely well made, well done Sayori.
Monika, holding her minifigure: Wow, they're beautiful.
MC: Yeah, thankfully we won't have to use those unmarked tokens. I got pretty confusing at times.
*Sayori smiles at all of them with a proud smile*
Sayori: I also made this!
*Sayori takes out another minifigure, one of a dragon-like humanoid with a chestplate and greatsword and a lute strapped to his back*
Sayori: I remember you telling me you had this idea for a character and that you really wanted to play him, so I made you this when you finally play him!
*MC is stunned and looks at Sayori confused for a bit*
Sayori: Did you not li-
*She gets inturrupted by MC lunging at her, hugging her.*
MC: That was so considerate of you. I love you Sayori.
Sayori, hugging back despite her blush: Ehehe, I love you too.

Apology Tour
Wow great stolas is a massive asshole and congrats viv the most realistic abuser you ever done. The eye candy the gem is background character we are being served with beautiful background character design. Martha and Mrs Mayberry hold on viv don't rush it interesting concept but like before giving us toxic yuri atleast show us how they suddenly in relationship. Verosika still revolving blitzo but finally we see verosika side in this episode
The colours and backgrounds were AMAZING.
Martha and Mrs Mayberry, eeeeh it was unexpected, and it is really weird, like Martha ruined Mrs Mayberry life, and Mrs Mayberry send I.M.P and not only killed her, but also the rest of her family (well technically the police but details-)
While I wanted to know more about Verosika and stuff, at least I apreciate they didnt paint her as the bad guy and how she was right on being mad at Blitzo, and also, how she was the victim in the relationship.
NOW, STOLAS. *sigh while dragging her hands down her face* Where do I start....?
Yes, he is the most realistic representation of an abuser. He had the control in the relationship, sexualized and infantilized and fetichized Blitzo, sex*ally abused him, THEN gaslighted him and acted as the victim, not recognizing the wrong he did.
Actually, I wanna write a more longer post about this, and not do it in an ask, so, take what I said above as a preview of the post il make.

Hi, do you have any headcanons about Sumire?
sumire…….. she’s definitely something. i feel like i don’t have the greatest grasp on her character at the moment, so i don’t really have any true hcs about her unfortunately. but i’ll go through her lore a few more times and make a separate sumire post sometime in the future.
that being said, sumire in rain burst was crazyyy like my interro with her bugged for a bit and i couldn’t complete it so i played rain burst first and got to the point where sumire is soloing rahu while she spills her guts about someone she loves and i was like “wow i wonder who her tragic yuri is about haha” AND THEN coquelic’s event dropped and the dots connected and i SCREAMED because what do you mean I am sumire’s tragic yuri ?????
sumire takes L after L in story that in my mind i can do nothing but give her another L 😔😔😔 i’m so sorry but hanahaki with sumire……. c’mon now you guys see the vision right. right. she does ikebana with the flowers that bloom in her lungs—even as the pain of it kills her, the love she has for you is still beautiful. aughhhh brb going insane

I’d love to hear you talk about PJ Harvey and queerness, if you’re so inclined!
OH MY GOD ANON I LOVE YOU reveal yourself so i can kiss you /joking and platonic (unless...)
this is gonna be really long so TL,DR, A Lot of PJ's work can be interpreted to be about a sapphic and/or gender non conforming experience.
OKAYYYYY SO
PJ Harvey, despite having never actually said she isn't straight, has written some Very Queer music, both in subtext and fully in the lyrics.
a few examples -
Dress could be interpreted to be about feeling the pressure to be a stereotypically girly girl and trying to navigate social situations where it's expected you have a boyfriend -
'Must be a way that I can dress to please him It's hard to walk in the dress, it's not easy [...]
Filthy tight, the dress is filthy I'm falling flat, and my arms are empty Clear the way, better get it out of this room A falling woman in dancing costume'
but failing to do so because it's just not you. feeling uncomfortable in a dress, trying and failing to have normal interactions with guys - which of course cishet girls can feel as well, but hits particularly hard as a queer, gender non conforming, girl adjacent person
O Stella, while the symbolism makes it about a religious idol, could be interpreted to be about idolising an older girl. Oh My Lover is about being totally fine with a partner's hypothetical polyamory.
Man-Size is a big one, before i even knew the term gender envy i was Deeply Aware that that was what man-size is about (in my opinion, at least) - wanting to things that guys do but not being able to cos you're a girl.
'Good Lord I'm big I'm heading on Man-sized got my leather boots on Got my girl and she's a wow [...]
I'm man-sized no need to shout Let it all, let it all hang out / out out out'
fantasising about a reclaiming of power while presenting in a more masculine way - WITH A GIRLFRIEND I MIGHT ADD - before going back to feeling as though that is unattainable -
'Silence my lady head Get girl out of my head Douse hair with gasoline Set it light and set it free'
like, 'get girl out of my head' is a pretty queer thing to say, yknow?
and 50ft Queenie -
'Hey I'm one big queen No one can stop me [...]
Hey I'm the king of the world You ought to hear my song Ah come on measure me I'm twenty inches long'
which is at the same time using male terms - even though the song is called Queenie, and that word is used a lot, she specifically calls herself King of the world, and proceeds to make fun of the perceived importance of a particular male organ, while at the same time saying she's better than them
more songs with gender and lesbian undertones - Yuri G, Catherine, to a degree A Woman A Man Walked By / The Crows Knows Where the Children Go (that one's quite explicit, word of warning if yu haven't heard that one before) - and songs that are covers of songs written by men without any pronoun changing - Shake Your Hips and I Can't Get No Satisfaction are two notable examples of that.
and then there are her songs that are just sapphic without being specifically gendery - My Beautiful Leah, Claudine the Inflatable One - i first thought that Down By the Water was about sneaking out to meet a sapphic lover under the bridge in the dead of night, a doomed romance, but there are lots of better and far more likely interpretations than that.
Polly herself has also said a lot of things that just kinda read queer. Like Patti Smith before her, she has said that she writes her songs from a place 'beyond gender', and just writes them as stories, sometimes from a male perspective. But of course, to a queer audience, you can hear her singing and *know* she's singing from a male perspective, but also can't help but to hear it as queer as well.
bit of a quote to go with that -
You've said that you don't like to think in terms of gender when it comes to music. Why do you think the gender issue, especially the concept of you being a feminist, is constantly mentioned with your work?
'I can only presume that, especially in the early days and early those labels tend to stick, but I know that I really played with gender in my lyrics, and I might sing in the shape of a man or I might sing in the shape of a woman. Or I might be dressing women in a loving way as a man or as a woman, or sometimes as neither. Sometimes more as just an essence, a feeling or an atmosphere. And I think that feels quite natural to me, but I think for some people it's not natural, and that's where the gender issue seems to become quite important.'
she was also adamant that she didn't want to be seen as part of riot grrrl, but rather as part of grunge - grunge was a very very aggressively male genre, and i don't think she thought riot grrrl had the right idea about how to go about empowerment - she took herself more seriously than that i think. she didn't want to be called a feminist, because she didn't want to be called a 'female artist', but rather just an Artist.
her gender presentation, moving from fairly neutral in 1992 (big black leather jacket, black boots etc, to the hyper-feminity of the To Bring You My Love era, 1995, also comes into play - she was showing femininity to be a performance, while also using it to her advantage, she didn't actually dress like that normally, no one wears that much eyeshadow, it was closer to a drag show than an actual outfits, a lot of the stuff she wore on stage. which is another one of those things that makes sense to a cishet girl, but gains more complexity as a queer person.
there's probably a lot more i can say on this, but that's everything off the top of my head! i cannot tell you how excited i was to get this ask, PJ Harvey is so much of how i've explored my own gender and sexuality, i could talk about this for a very long time!

I hope you like whatever flavor you try^^ it's cute to think about you just melting like you say, just an adorable little mess that can't handle the heat around here hehe. It should start cooling down cause its fall and stuff, but honestly i cant tell its fall until its night time. Then it gets freezing as shit lol. Omg alien stage is amazing! It's kinda a a story told through music videos and stuff about a dystopian future with aliens who took over and use humans as entertainment/pets, especially in the music scene. Ivan is a character, he's super cool and is basically a nepo baby lol. He loves my favorite character, till. Till is basically a delinquent aggressive kinda guy that likes this other girl, mizi, though mizi is a lesbian im pretty sure. She was in love with another girl named sua and they were nice together^^ im not too into yuri ships, but their dynamic was beautiful. Till and ivans was more sad than not, cause till was always after mizi- he even went back in the middle of escaping ankt garden with ivan cause he didnt wanna leave without her. They didn't escape and ivan went back but it was such a sad scene omg. Like he loves you so much, you two can finally have freedom together, and he went back for mizi...he's such a boy-failure, I wanna strangle him so bad (kinda like you~) /pos. In alien stage, they also have an artbook that reveals a lot of lore. There's one character, Luka, who was literally bred for the music competition stuff. He has congenital heart failure as a result of all the manipulation they did to his DNA and he's literally batshit and the worst and I hate him so fucking fucking much omg.
-ike<3
(。>\\<) !!
aaa omg I think I knew Till's name as well ! Well, kind of, I heard of what I'm assuming is their ship name 'Ivantill' ? or something simillar ? I thought it was like, antill or something . I couldn't really remember and just thought it was another characters name !
omg That sounds really interesting !! I think I actually saw a edit of him with the song Nepo Baby by Fox SZN / Danny Gonzalez lol I think I've heard of them too, I think they mentioned the creators of like the each of them are dating, which I think it was cute !! Aaa It sounds really, sad and intense, I have a feeling that I would probably cry over it ! um ! wow ! You want to strangle me ? (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝) His backstory sounds really sad, but he also doesn't sound . the nicest . D: !

on the topic of who vil and idia would cosplay as... i don't know how you feel about yuri on ice so if you happen to dislike it feel free to ignore this. but the concept of a shy awkward guy who lacks self confidence but is actually incredibly talented (and is blue-coded) ending up with his beautiful charismatic celebrity crush who secretly has insecurities of his own (and is purple-coded) is literally so vilidia. i've always thought idia would watch YOI and see viktor and yuuri get together and he'd love it but he'd also be like "LMAO wow that just shows how UNREALISTIC anime is, that would NEVER happen to me haha"... and then it totally does happen to him. anyway this is my way of saying vilidia should cosplay as viktuuri.
NOOOO HOLY SHIT IDIA 100% LOVES YOI
I have never made the connection of the similarities between them before that’s amazing.
I need those two as Viktor and Yuuri now I’m going insane
Idia introduced Vil to the anime and rambled about Viktor the whole time only for Vil to slowly look at him and raise a brow. He knows.

Butterfly's Poison; Blood Chains (Chou no Doku) Part 1 - Junichi Shiba Route
Tumblr media
Yuriko seems like a really fun heroine, love how ready she was to jump onto a tree from her balcony to escape her birthday party. It seems that Yuriko is quite taken by Majima though! Mizuhito is an LI isn't he? Dang, we've got an incest route? Never really experienced that in an otome game before so that will be interesting, I mean I'm sure it turns other people off but I think it's quite interesting in fiction🫣 Oh, it's really sad to know that because Mizuhito was forced to give up on his dreams of being a painter and going abroad for it, he's lost his ambition and just sleeps around with nothing he's particularly interested in anymore. It's terrible when you actually have a dream but can't go for it. Oooh okay, Mizuhito is the son of a servant and Yasuyuki, Yuriko's father, no wonder Shigeko, Yuriko's mother doesn't seem to like him at all. The maid that likes Majima is crazy, what makes her think she'll be more desirable to him if she tells him that she's been sleeping with Saburo?? And Saburo looks very creepy so that's even worse! Fujita is an older man! I like them older so I'll be very interested in his route! I'm actually surprised that Yuriko hasn't caught on that this birthday party is most likely a party hosted to "marry" her off to a rich family. Fujita giving Yuriko chocolate to cheer her up was cute. Hmm Hideo is the childhood friend huh~ It doesn't seem like they have a nice relationship anymore because he's apparently changed though?🤔 Wow, Hideo seems like a jerk that's taking out his anger towards Yuriko's parents looking down on his family on Yuriko.
Tumblr media
I'm actually really sad that Majima is basically her first love and the one she likes but she's going to be with someone else. How do I do these routes knowing she likes Majima but feels like she can't be with him because he's just a gardener? Although I guess it's realistic... Kyoko is so beautiful! Hmm, Yuriko smells strongly of the flower in her name - Yuri aka lily, I wonder what that means. I'm glad Hideo apologised because he really was quite hurtful. Wow, Yuriko really was so reckless, she's really lucky that this guy saved her. Anyway, that was a terrible end to her birthday party. Not only did people end up ambushing it with weapons trying to kill those related to politics, but Yuriko's father got killed and her mother seems to know who the killer might be but is so frightened that she's going nuts.  I don't know what's going to happen to Yuriko's family now though. Her mother continues her lavish spending to seemingly get away from everything, her brother is the new head of the household but has no heart to do anything for it. The guy who saved her is Shiba, our first route! Not sure what to think of him though lol.
Tumblr media
Well, I didn't think Shiba would be so interested in Yuriko, but I guess he's the rich businessman LI who saves her family, not sure how I feel about him describing how much he wants to touch her, veryyyy inappropriate. Totally understand why Yuriko is so put off by him. I can't even blame Mizuhito for hating this house considering he never got to do what he really wanted to do and their house is still wasting away because of his parents. It made me happy to see him so adamantly against marrying Yuriko off to Shiba for money and ruining her life. Even though I can understand why Shiba hates on the nobility, he really has no manners or common sense tbh lol! He really wanted to drag Yuriko out by herself without anyone else?? Never, I tell you!! That's like releasing a little lamb to a wolf lol. I'm sure he won't do anything but she hasn't even accepted his marriage proposal yet so it's definitely not fine for her to be out with a guy by herself. Too bad that choosing Shiba as my first route means we pick no one to accompany Yuriko which is wild lol, I demand Majima😭
Anyway, it seems like Hideo has also caught on to Mizuhito's supposed "feelings" towards Yuriko... Does Shiba know Yuriko from somewhere? Anyway, even though Shiba is frustrating to deal with, I do like how Yuriko so straightforwardly shows her dislike and disgust towards him, she really doesn't mince her words haha. Well, those kisses were wild! He really went for it and wouldn't take no for an answer! I mean, it's great that he's honest but whoa lol. Kyoko is very amusing, gotta love how honest she is about not recommending having children lmao, poor kid though, he can probably tell his mother never wanted him and was forced to have him. Good that Shiba apologised but he's very shameless to say he's sorry but that he doesn't regret it lol. I am so glad that Kyoko told Shiba that women are not weak and are not possessions of men because dude, this guy really hasn't given much respect to Yuriko and women much at all! But they did it playfully so I guess Shiba isn't thaaaat much of a jerk but he still can be lol. Shiba's rough around the edges and lacks understanding of social cues around nobility I guess but it did kinda hurt to see him so distraught over Yuriko not wanting to accept his pearl necklace. It was obvious that it was going to break but I'm kinda glad Yuriko at least got to tell him that she felt like she was getting bought by him rather than loved by him with all these gifts and stuff he's doing.
Tumblr media
Hmm I'm not sure and I'll feel bad if I'm wrong but it feels like Majima is related to why people broke in on the day of the party and this possibly revenge plot against Yuriko's parents? Personally, I don't really feel the romance between Shiba and Yuriko but I guess I can understand how Yuriko would feel silly for believing he loves her when he kissed Kyoko, and then he pushes her down now too! Glad he stopped because I was very worried for Yuriko. Shiba was probably mad to see Yuriko at a marriage interview and that's why he said what he said but that was very disrespectful to Yuriko for sure. And honestly I don't really blame Yuriko for doing what she did, because it is difficult for her to believe in his feelings for her. I'm glad though that Yuriko understands that accepting this marriage interview in anger was disrespectful to Katsuie and his family who are serious about looking for a partner. It's nice to know that even though Shiba's confident, he was still anxious about Yuriko getting married to this guy, enough that he's been lacking sleep anyway. Now that they're both a little bit more open with what they want to say to each other without Yuriko displaying outright disgust and Shiba being a bit more honest about his feelings without other pretenses and jokes, I do like how they interact with each other. Communication really is the best.
Tumblr media
I really loved how he finally told Yuriko about their real first meeting being when he was trying to survive as a teenager committing crime, but meeting the young Yuriko who helped him made him want to live up to her standards and be suitable to be beside her. It's crazy to think that she was basically his whole reason for living all these years and that's the depth of his love for her and that's why he finds it difficult to hold himself back lol. Their honest conversation really made me see him in a better light for sure. Definitely didn't expect them to be wild enough to do it in her bedroom just because Mizuhito wasn't home though haha. I loved how they went back to where they first met. Even though it obviously affects Shiba more, being able to come back with the one he's been chasing after all his life, but I liked how instead of forcing Yuriko to think about their first meeting that she barely remembered, she instead reminisced about the peaceful days when her family was wealthy. As for Majima possibly being the head of an opium trafficking organisation? That is pretty scary😮 Majima must hate her family quite a bit if he wants Yuriko to suffer so much, although it feels like he does like her and that's why he wanted to bring her to Shanghai and torment her next to him. I wonder if Mizuhito not being able to fulfil his painter dreams was partly because of him doing something?
Tumblr media
Anyway, Yuriko really is reckless but seeing Shiba with tears in his eyes when she woke up after jumping out of Majima's car and throwing herself into the ocean to escape was really sweet. After their feelings became mutual, it's been really nice to see how genuine Shiba is and how much he sincerely cares for and loves her to not even hesitate jumping into the ocean to save her at night. Shiba being the director of an orphanage and hoping to build a school for children like him is something I expected him to do, he's just that kind of guy. Now that we have a bit more context as to why he said you could buy anything with money, yeah he's right in that context of having more opportunities and choices in the future etc haha. He really was insufferable when he first said it though haha! Dang, didn't expect how bad the ending could be with Yuriko accepting Iida's proposal and how it causes such tragedy… Not only did Iida's business basically go down, Mitsuhito "suicided" and if Yuriko tries to follow him, Shiba saves her and she loses her eyesight, what hell…lt honestly sucks because she's basically trapped and can only "see" Shiba but all he does is touch her thinking that's the only way he can have her. The ending where Yuriko seeks revenge on Shiba is so sad but I really liked it. It felt so terrible to see how happy Shiba was going home to her knowing that she was poisoning him everyday but it didn't matter to him as long as he got to live happily with her. He wasn't even the one who drove Iida's business down and made her family's debts worse, he just became the most likely suspect and never denied it making Yuriko misunderstand, that's just so sad. Reading his diary expressing his neverending love for her was so sweet, yet so tragic. The Shanghai Doll ending is amusing, I guess going blind and deaf is the only way for Majima to feel like he can be with her without feeling guilty?
Tumblr media
Overall, Shiba's route was all right. The first half really wasn't the best because Shiba really wasn't communicating properly and was to an extent insufferable with the way he said things and how he treated her by always touching her inappropriately without her consent. I mean, I understand how desperate and happy he was since he finally reached her "level" and was able to see her and interact with her but he really didn't have the best impression haha. I mean, I still enjoyed how snappy she was towards him and enjoyed their interactions to an extent but it was still too much for me. However, once their feelings were mutual, I really enjoyed the rest of the story! I liked how Shiba finally could be a bit more honest and express himself in a way that made you understand better why he said things the way he did before, and seeing how kind he was made you understand how deep his love was for Yuriko. I enjoyed how cute they were, and it felt good to see how genuine Shiba's feelings were for her in contrast to how playful he was in the beginning, and how it felt like we could never really see what his purpose was even though he did seem to like Yuriko. I really liked the poison ending and feel like that might be my favourite just because I love the regret and pain, but also the different way the ending was able to portray Shiba's love for Yuriko. Tragic but sweet, my favourite thing to read haha!

I had a dream I wrote a fanfic abt Ryan having sex on some weird hero excursion in his trailer, however he was holding his both hands against the bed and accidentally activated his power and flattened a huge swath of like, fencing and forest.
Which was bad but worse bc he was having sex with Yuri and was like UM. I'm so going to get fired and I'll get Yuri fired as well. And I just woke up so I don't feel like writing everything he did to cover his tracks but honestly it wasn't that bad and he's good at lying etc
Unfortunately it wad like a gated camping area (literally idfk what was going on with this setting) and by chance Agnes had been filming the entrance so she could tell Ryan was lying out of his ass rn bc not hard to believe he was having sex but she unwittingly had proof that nobody had left or entered the area at that time so it had to be one of the heroes
Agnes has never paid Ryan too much mind bc she's a man-hating lesbian (to me and also in my dreamed up fanfic) so she was like my God. Ryan is the most cishet man alive. Who was he fucking. Was he weird and taking advantage of Karina who hasn't even had one normal relationship yet. I'll incinerate him btw
And so she slapped Ryan across the face in the hallway while ranting about how he is so fired and Ryan was like HAAH?.. WHAT. His beautiful face...But then he figured what Agnes was talking about and panicked like wow uhm please let's not talk here in the public hallway pleeza 🥲
And Agnes is like what do you have to say for yourself:/ and Ryan was playing 5D chess and failing bc Agnes isn't stupid and it was really long and irrelevant rly but anyway in the end he burst into tears which Agnes found both cringe and uncomfortable like can this grown man please get a grip.
Ryan (through tears) okay it was Yuri and Agnes didn't believe him because there is just No Way so he cried harder which made Agnes physically grimace (really cringe). But it did seem so genuine. But she believes in investigative journalism so she in fact went to ask if Yuri is engaging in acts of dubious morality (sleeping with a guy who he is the superior of and not only that but it's Ryan of all people)
Yuri was just staring at Agnes and it was a soap opera so he thought that of course. Ryan wants his career destroyed after all, the only reason he had ever interacted with him ofc. And Agnes was like [misandry affirmed] by the way of men being so dramatic for no reason like it was an extremely long conversation and at the end Agnes was like. Yuri, do I look like I care about this that much. As long as it doesn't affect the ratings idc<3 you're the judge not me
Yuri doesn't get how many specials Agnes could run on Ryan rn since his forest-flattening was such a big thing like wow...the money just doesn't stop coming in. Just try to be more careful bc if I have to be subjected to knowing more about Ryan bottoming for you I'm gonna blow up this gay earth. If it matters he cried so hard about this his mascara ran and it really was so cringe:/
Then I woke up and was mad that I had written so much in my dream when all I've done for the past few days is like, write different things and think abt how slow it is to write and then I could write like 20k in my dream (fakely).
:/
Also I literally was just writing about this. Extremely boring to dream about jfc

Spy x Family Episode #2: Secure a Wife Transcript
This episode has the introduction of Yor.
Loid: Huah…this won’t do.
Franky: WHAT?!
Anya: I don’t want this mama.
Loid: Not seeing you convincingly pull off the mother role.  
Franky: You’re a master of disguise, so why can’t you make me beautiful, huh? 
Loid: I have rather limited options.
Franky: NUAH! I can’t believe I volunteered for this!
Loid [narrating]: Operation Strix. 
(Anya: Do you want a peanut?)
Loid [narrating]: I was given this top secret mission by WISE in order to stop political power player Donovan Desmond from fomenting a war with Ostania. Part of the task was to pass the prestigious Eden College’s entrance exam, which we did. But this interview with both parents of the prospective student has complicated matters.  
Loid: Very well. I’ll need to find a woman.
{Caption: Mission 2: Secure a Wife}  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
{Caption: Capital City Berlint, City Hall}
Camilla: DId you hear? There was some kind of office break-in. Apparently, someone came in and snatched up all the files with us ladies’ personal info. Scary, right? What kind of creep does that?    
Millie: I always thought the section chief was way creepy; like, he’s always ogling me. Can’t stand him.
Sharon: You ever considered wearing some longer skirts?
Millie: I don’t think my boyfriend would be happy about that. You’re pretty fit, Sharon; why don’t you show it off a little more? 
Sharon: I stopped caring after I had a kid.
Camilla: And what about you? You’re awfully quiet over there, Yor. Doesn’t it creep you out too?   
Yor: Huh?
Millie: The section chief’s coffee? Blow snot in it!
Yor: Uh…do you think snot would make it taste better or something?
(Millie: Huh?)
Camilla: You know, I really gotta give you credit, girl. You’re definitely one-of-a-kind.  
Yor: Uah!
Millie: Isn’t she, though?
Yor: Uh…
Millie: Not many guys out in space or wherever you are, huh?
Sharon: Cut it out, Millie.
Camilla: You’re cute with curves in all the right places; if you knew how to flaunt it, you’d be knockin’ ‘em dead.  
Yor: Yeah?
Millie: Yeah! If you need makeup tips or anything, just ask me.
Yor: Honestly, though, all I really want is just to keep this job.
Camilla: But aren’t you, like, 27 years old already?
(Yor: Auh!)   
Camilla: You need to be careful at that age. From what I hear, there are supposedly spies everywhere these days. People have been getting reported for the tiniest little things, you know. I mean, just the other day, I heard about a bachelorette in her late twenties being arrested because her neighbors thought she was extremely suspicious.       
Millie: Oh, wow, really?! That’s funny! How do you always know about this stuff, Camilla? 
Sharon: Being single at that age is kinda unusual. A bit eyebrow-raising.
Yor: I didn’t realize that. I appreciate you letting me know. 
Camilla: Oh yeah, this coming weekend I’m throwing a little dinner party at my place, so why don’t you plan on dropping by? Bring a date and join in the fun!  
Sharon [in the distance]: Might be asking a bit much there. 
Camilla [in the distance]: I guess she could ask whoever’s been rifling through our drawers; they’d love to come.   
Millie [in the distance]: You are just too mean!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phone: Ring! Ring! 
Yor: Briar residence. 
Yuri: Hey, sis! How are you?
Yor: Oh, hey, Yuri.   
Yuri: Is work okay?
Yor: It’s fine, I guess. I’m still there at City Hall.
Yuri: You’re kinda weird, so I’m worried about you. 
Yor: Don’t be rude! I’m completely normal.  
Yuri: Well, most girls your age are married. Do you have any prospects?
Yor’s thoughts: Not this again.
Yuri: Auh, I’m sorry, but I think I might get a big promotion soon, which would mean I’d be expected to travel more than I already do, but I worry about leaving you alone in a big city, so…I’m not entirely sure that I should take the offer? The whole reason I got this far is because of your help, and I’m so grateful; that’s why a---all I want is for you to be happy.   
Yor: Aw, that’s sweet. Thanks a lot, Yuri.
Yuri: Can I set you up with someone?
Yor: Huh?! Uh, that won’t be necessary. Because, um…I’m actually going to a party this weekend. And I’m bringing a date.
Yuri: Wait, you have a boyfriend?
Yor: Uh, yep! Hehehe, I do. So don’t worry about me. 
Yuri: Wow, that’s great! Uh, like a little coworker party or somethin’?
Yor: Yep, Camilla’s putting it on!
Yuri: Okay! Then I’ll have to make sure to ask Dominic all about this mystery man afterwards. 
Yor: Huh?! 
Yuri: Come on! You know you can be a little naive. If the guy’s a jerk, I’ll take care of him.
Yor: Well, uh…
Yuri: I’ll wait on this promotion until I know what his story is. 
Yor: Well, you don’t need to bother with all that.   
Yuri: Can’t wait to meet him! Well, nighty night.
Yor’s thoughts: What do I do? I’ve gotta land a date before the party this weekend. If he finds out I’m lying, he’ll think I’m a weirdo and a pathological liar and things’ll get even worse! And I would hate for my brother to skip a promotion on my account.   
Phone: Ring! 
Yor: HUAEH! Hey, Yuri, I want you to know, I was just joking about all that earlier---
Man: Uh oh. 
Yor: Ahauh!
Man: Are you and your little brother having a spat?  
Yor: I---Shopkeeper? Sorry, I didn’t realize it was you.
Shopkeeper: It’s fine. But…I do have a client needing your attention tonight, Thorn Princess. The Royal Hotel, Room 1307.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man #2: I’m sorry about this, lady, but the entire floor’s actually been reserved for the evening, so…
Man #3: Did anyone call for this chick? 
Man #4: I don’t know.
Yor: Oh, well, with all due respect…
Man #2: Ehuah!
Yor: What I heard is that there’s a traitorous… 
(Man #3: Ehhuah!)
Yor: …scumbag staying here.
Man #2, Man #4: DUAUH!
Brennan: What’s happening out there?!
(Men: Duah!)
Man #3: It’s an ambush! Some broad just---GAUK!
(Brennan: Huah!)
Brennan: Huah…huah…
(Man #5: Duaeh…) 
Man #6: Hueauh…
Yor: Excuse me…Vice Minister Brennan from the Auditing Department, I presume? Terribly sorry for the interruption, but tell me: may I have the honor of taking your life this evening?
Narrator: Code name: Thorn Princess. One of the world’s deadliest assassins. She learned the skills of her trade at a very young age, and since then, has done whatever dirty work her employer’s requested of her. 
Yor: Ehum…won’t wash off. Eum? Ah, oh no, not my dress! This is the only nice one I own! I’ll have to miss the party. Huah… 
Yuri [flashback]: Do you have any prospects? 
Sharon [flashback]: Being single at that age is kinda unusual. 
Camilla [flashback]: Bring a date and join in the fun!
Yor: There’s no way. I’ll never be a homemaker. Cleaning house is the only thing I’m good at.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anya: Scruffy Head!
Franky: Eumph! Copied all the files of unmarried women from City Hall. 
Loid: Thank you. 
Franky: Gotta find one who won’t care you’re divorced with a kid, is refined enough for a hoity-toity school, and is willing to get married in 48 hours? If there’s a goddess like that, I’d love to meet her. As for me, I can’t get a date and I’m not even picky!   
Loid: My condolences.
Franky: Don’t pity me, you jerk!
(Anya: Ehuaeum!) 
Anya: Is it bad to have a kid? Am I keeping mamas away? 
Loid: Eum…no, it’s not your fault. Just watch some TV and don’t worry. 
Anya: ‘Kay.
Franky: Auh…eum. 
{Text on TV: SPY WARS}
Franky: I gotta wonder why you’re not just paired up with some lady spy from work.
Loid: A lot of them were caught in the recent spy hunts, so I couldn’t find a match.
(Bondman [from TV]: Oh please, you’ve got to open your eyes!)
(Anya: Ahuah!)
Bondman [from TV]: Oh no! 
(Anya: Ahuaheuh…)
Franky: Lots of rats runnin’ loose these days. 
(Bondman [from TV]: I’ll never let you get away with this, YOU HEAR ME?!)
(Anya: Ehueahuh…)
Loid: We’re low on agents right now, so I’ve got another mission on top of this one. Brass wants me to eliminate a smuggling ring.   
(Anya: Huah! Nah!)
Franky: They’re working you like a dog! Fine, let’s find you a lady, then. Seems like women in bad circumstances would be most likely to go along with it. Finding dirt on ‘em would help. Of course, we could always just make stuff up.   
(Anya: Huah, huah nah! Yah, hiyah! Hah! Hah hah! Hah!)
{Text on paper #1: CLARA MEYER}
Loid: I’d like to minimize my risk.
Franky: Too late for that. 
(Anya: Pow pow pow pow pow!) 
Franky: You see her, don’t cha?
(Anya: POW!)
(Loid: Auh?)
Franky: Does she look the part of a rich family’s precious little princess?
(Anya: Yah, yah, POW, BLAM!)
Anya: POW!
Loid: Point taken. Euh, I need to do something about her appearance. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anya: Wow…
Proprietress: Now, young lady, I’m going to take your measurements. If you’ll please come with me.
Anya: I’m being sold to traffickers!  
Loid: You won’t if you behave! Honestly, where does she even pick up that kind of language?
Loid’s thoughts: The seamstress is the right age, but already married. The proprietress was listed among the single women, but she’s been arrested once over political activities, and that’s definitely something to avoid.  
Anya: Mm…aaaahahah!
(Proprietress: Auh!)
Loid’s thoughts: Finding the right person might take longer than---
Yor: Excuse me!
(Loid: Ahuah!)
Woman: Goodness, Yor, it’s been too long.   
Yor: Hi, sorry. I was hoping to get my dress mended. 
(Woman: Oh)
Yor: As soon as possible, please. 
Woman: Oh, of course, dear. You’re one of our regulars.
Loid’s thoughts: She slipped right past me. Who is she? Yor…Yor…
{Text on screen: Yor Briar}
Loid’s thoughts: Ah, Yor Briar, 27 years old. Never been married. Both parents are deceased, and she has one brother who’s several years younger. They’re both civil servants with fairly spotless records. Did I let my guard down? I’m losing my edge lately.
Yor: Excuse me.
(Loid: Oh!)
Yor: I couldn’t help notice you staring at me. Is there something I can do for you?
Loid’s thoughts: Impossible! She sensed my gaze?
(Loid: Oh, uh…no, I’m sorry)
Loid: It’s just that you’re so pretty.
Yor: Uah…you’re saying…
Loid: Uh!
Yor: …you have a favorable impression of my physical appearance?
Loid: Uh…I guess, yeah. 
Camilla [flashback]: You’re cute with curves in all the right places. If you knew how to flaunt it, you’d be knockin’ ‘em dead. 
Yor: Eum…uahuah!
(Loid: Deah!)
Anya: Papa!
Loid: Huh?
Anya: I’m this long! They told me! 
(Yor: Auh…)
Anya: Hahaha, oh, who’s that?
Loid: A fellow customer.
Yor’s thoughts: He has a child! I came awfully close to asking another woman’s husband on a date! They say people get killed by jealous wives all the time. Although I’m positive I’d be able to kill her first.
Anya: HAUH! 
Yor’s thoughts: No! Calm down, Yor. Don’t even think about it. That’s exactly the sort of thing that would expose me as an assassin! Don’t be weird. 
Anya’s thoughts: WHAT?! An assassin?! A spy…an assassin…this is…SO COOL!
Narrator: The girl was starved for entertainment. 
Loid’s thoughts: Hm…I thought about asking her to play my wife, but I’d better not.
Anya: HUAH?!
Yor’s thoughts: I thought about asking him to play my boyfriend at the party, but that could easily end in bloodshed, so I’d better not.   
Anya: HUAH! Oh, poor, poor me! I’m so lonely ‘cause I’ve got no mama!
(Yor: Heauh?)
Loid: What’s this about?   
Anya: I just need a mama so bad!
Yor: Are you not here with your wife?
(Anya: Wah!)
Loid: Um, no…sadly, we lost her two years ago. It’s just me and my daughter. I’m raising her by myself. 
(Anya: Weh, weauh…weh weaum…weaum weaum…)
Yor: Ahuah!
Yor’s thoughts: No one will try to kill me for asking him out! 
Yor: Eum…excuse me!  
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loid: Pretend to be your boyfriend?
Yor: Long story, but I lied and told my brother that I was in a relationship. I realize it’s a lot to ask, but I was wondering if you could come to this party with me? Uah! I don’t have any weird ulterior motives or anything like that! And I’ll find a way to repay you! All I want to do…is put my brother’s mind at ease.  
Loid: Very well, then. Offer accepted.  
Yor: Uh! Wait, seriously? 
Loid: Although I’d like something in return.  
Yor: Uah!
Loid: It’s a long story, but I’d like you to pretend to be her mother during an interview.  
Yor: Pretend to be her mother?  
Loid: We live in such uncertain times, and I just want my sweet little girl to get into a good school. I have to try…because it was her mother’s dying wish.
Anya’s thoughts: Papa’s a big liar!
Yor’s thoughts: Huah, what a wonderful man!
Loid’s thoughts: This is a relatively simple first step, but I’ll get her to agree…
(Loid: I just need it once. Can you do it?)
Loid’s thoughts: …to an official marriage eventually.
(Yor: Uh, yes, not a problem…)
Yor: …if you think I’m good for the role, that is.
Loid: Thanks so much. I suppose we’ll see each other Saturday, then.
Yor: ‘Kay!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loid: I got a sitter for you on Saturday, so promise me you’ll behave.
(Anya:🎵Hm hm, hm hm hm, hm hm🎵)
Anya: ‘Kay! I need some peanuts. 
Loid: Yeah, yeah. 
Cashier: Ten pents is your change, ribbit.
Loid: Oh! 
Cashier: Thanks, ribbit.
Anya’s thoughts: Ribbit?
Loid’s thoughts: A T…no, an F cipher.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loid’s thoughts: Must be details on the side mission: retrieving works of art stolen from the West and wiping out this smuggling ring. The mission is to commence Saturday at 1800 hours when the target meets the buyer. Saturday?    
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loid: Listen up! We’ll need to take care of this quickly so I can make that party. Got it?
Franky: Woah! You realize I’m just an informant and I couldn’t fight my way out of a wet paper bag, right? And your tab is pretty much maxed out, so…
Loid: We’re talking 78 art pieces valued at a total of 3 million dalcs. I’m fairly certain no one would notice if something were to go missing.     
Franky: Leave it to me! Matter of fact, I’ve invented some new spy gear just for an occasion like this.  
Loid’s thoughts: He can be so useful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yor: Loid is late; I’m worried. I really hope he wasn’t in some terrible accident. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Franky: DAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
(Man #7: Hold it!)
Man #7: WHO’RE YOU WORKIN’ FOR?!
Franky: YOU DIDN’T TELL ME THERE’D BE AN ARMY OF ‘EM! 
Loid’s thoughts: Two, four, six…38 of them. Gives me less than ten seconds for each one.
(Man #8: Duoh!)
(Man #9: Aahduah!)
(Man #10: Duah!)
Man #11: Huoh!
(Man #12: Yeauhouh!)
(Man #13: Dueah!)
Man #14: Duah!
Man #15: Bleauh!
(Man #16: Auh!)
Man #17: Deauh!
Man #18: Ahueah!
Man #19: Reauh!
(Man #20: Dueh!)
Loid’s thoughts: Reinforcements, and a lot of ‘em! 
(Franky: There we go! Deh, deh, deh, DEH…I’ve got everything, so…)
Franky: …LET’S GO ALREADY!
Franky: Oh yeah! Now, which one of these will go MIA?
Loid: Auh…I’ll be taking this.
Franky: Wait, the diamond?! Why you gotta grab the priciest one?!  
Loid: Because it’s best for the whole charade.
(Franky: Come on…)
Franky: …give it back! Grr…
Loid: Auh!
Franky: Deah?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yor: Sniff! 
Yor’s thoughts: I get it. This is what having your heart toyed with feels like. But I still need to maintain good work relationships to keep my brother happy. So, even though I really don’t want to go, I can’t skip the party. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camilla: So you finally decided to show up, huh? 
Yor: I’m sorry. I brought a gift for you.  
Camilla: What’s up?
Camilla [muffled by the door]: I remember you saying you’d be bringing a date with you tonight.
Yor [muffled by the door]: Unfortunately, he had a last-minute situation.
Camilla [muffled by the door]: Oh, that is such a shame! I really wanted to meet this guy!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Camilla: What a lame excuse!
Millie: Just pathetic. 
Camilla: I knew that weirdo was lying about having a boyfriend.  
Millie: You think we should report her? 
Camilla: Definitely! She has to be some kind of spy who was sent here for the sole purpose of lowering our country’s birth rate or something crazy like that.   
Sharon: Come on, stop being petty. She’s just too awkward to find a man. She’s got it bad enough.
Dominic: Hey, Yor! I’m so sorry your boyfriend couldn’t make it. I wanted to meet him.
(Camilla: Sometimes I think you’re a bother, Sharon. Hehe, it’s gonna be hilarious!)
(Yor: Eah!) 
Yor: Oh! Dominic!
Dominic: Poor Yuri. You know, he’s always extremely worried about you.
Yor: Yeah, it’s a little bit much. Do you think you could just tell him that I showed up with a really nice guy?
Camilla: Woah…
(Dominic: Deauh!) 
Camilla: …so you want him to lie? That means you must be really desperate to pretend to be normal. You know, it makes you look even more pathetic.
Dominic: Hey, knock it off!  
Camilla’s thoughts: Stop talking to my man, you freak!
Dominic: Auheuheuh!
Camilla: We’ll be sure to let your sweet widdle brother know that you came here all by your lonesome.   
Yor’s thoughts: Huah, I don’t understand. What could she possibly get out of doing something like that? Huah, I’m getting sick of this. Just think: if everyone here were to die, my brother would never hear about any of it.  
Dominic: Sorry to bug you. Try and have some fun, okay? Come on, Camilla, let’s get this gratin in the oven.
Woman #2: Oh, you want to know what happened next? 
Girl: Mama!
Sharon: My oldest will be taking an entrance exam soon. We’re going for Eden College.
Woman #3: That’s wonderful! 
Man #21: He’ll be a shoo-in… 
Yor’s thoughts: I guess this must be…  
(Man #21: …I’m sure!)
Yor’s thoughts: …what being a normal person looks like. This is exactly the kind of life that my little brother wants me to have. 
Camilla: Wow, looks like Yor’s still here.
Mille: She’s got a high shame tolerance.
Sharon: Honestly, I’m surprised she had the guts to show up here alone.
Yor’s thoughts: I get it now. I’m just not cut out for this. 
Yor: I beg your pardon. Thank you, but it’s time for me to---eum! Uhauh!
Loid: Please forgive my lateness! I’m Loid Forger, Yor’s husband. 
Yor [whispering to Loid]: Hey. I needed a boyfriend, not a husband. 
Loid: You’re kidding me!
Loid’s thoughts: I mixed up our missions.
Dominic: Mr. Forger, is that…blood?
(Loid: Oh!)
Loid: Yes, pardon me, please; a patient had a violent outburst. Just one of the risks of being a psychiatrist. You having a good time, Yor?
Camilla: You can’t be serious!
Yor: Auh!
Camilla: Why didn’t you tell us you were married? I had no idea!   
Yor: Well, I…because…
Loid: It’s embarrassing, but this is my second marriage and I have a child. Makes things a bit uncomfortable.  
Camilla’s thoughts: Huh! Don’t give me that crap!
(Loid: It’s my fault)
Camilla’s thoughts: No freaking way that terminally awkward girl has a hot, successful husband! Now this will be uncomfortable!
Camilla: Oh, excellent timing, I just got this piping hot gratin out of the oven. Oh, whoops, I seem to have tripped on something! Ehumhum! Hm? Zzszszs! Eheauh, heum…
Loid: I love that you’re so mindful about wasting food, Yor, but I’m not so sure it’s good manners to use your feet, you know?  
(Camilla: Eheaum…weaum, weaum…eum…eheaum!) 
Yor: Uh, sorry about that.
Camilla: GRREAUGH!
(Dominic: Wow)
Loid: Mm, this is actually very tasty.
Yor: Isn’t it? 
Camilla: Tell me, Mr. Ranger…
Loid: It’s “Forger”.
Camilla: Did you know that your wife did some questionable work before she started at City Hall?  
Yor: Ehueh!
Camilla: What was it again?
(Dominic: Give it a rest!)
Camilla: Random men would call you up to their hotel rooms so you could give them massages! Isn’t that right?
Yor: That was…
Yor’s thoughts: A massage was code for “murder-for-hire”.
Yor: I promise it’s not what you think, Loid. I just…
Loid: I think it’s great.
Yor: Ehuah!
Loid: Truthfully, she lost her parents at a young age, and to care for her younger brother, she did whatever she could. She sacrificed a great deal. Be it for somebody else’s sake, or whatever the reason, having to put up with such a tough job…takes real grit and dedication, and that’s not something just anybody can do.  
Yor: Ahuah…
Loid: Let’s go home, Yor.       
Yor: Uh, okay! Thank you so much for having us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loid: Hey, sorry for…the husband thing. 
Yor: No, it’s fine. 
Loid: If your brother hears about that, who knows what to say.
Yor: Ehmm…well, here’s an idea. Tell me what you think of this. 
Loid: Mm? Geah! Neauh! What the?!
Loid’s thoughts: Stragglers from the smuggling ring?
Loid: Hang on, Yor!
Yor: Huh?!
Loid’s thoughts: How did they know where I was? Let me guess, they left a tracking device in the loot. Hgrauh, you’ve definitely lost your edge, Twilight.
Yor: Who are those people? Do you know them?
Loid: Eum!
Loid’s thoughts: What do I say, what do I say? 
Loid: Seems that…some of my patients are still having psychotic breaks.  
Yor: Being a doctor must be very demanding.
Loid’s thoughts: She really believed that?
Loid: The best course…is to avoid them for a bit. 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man #22: They left the van behind. 
Man #23: I betcha they’re hidin’ around here. Let’s split up and find ‘em!
Man #24: Dueh!
Man #25: DUAH! Gack!
Loid: This way! Hurry!
(Yor: Ehauh!)
Yor: Hey, Loid, sorry to pry, but are you supposed to hit your patients?
Loid: Yeah, it’s okay. I’m using a cutting-edge technique known as the “concussive recovery” method.  
Yor: Uh, oh…
{Caption: This is fiction}
Loid’s thoughts: Hard to tell if she’s extremely smart or extremely stupid.
Loid: Euh! 
Yor: Auh!
Loid: Get back!  
Man #26: WAUH!
Loid’s thoughts: Another one! He’s got me!
Man #27: TUOEH!
Loid: Euh!
Man #27: Gagaha, EUH! Hueh…
Yor: Euh…ahuah! Sorry, I’m not a doctor, so I shouldn’t try to treat your patients, but I am kind of an expert at self-defense? My little brother taught me everything he knows.
Loid: Ehehehe…thanks a lot, Yor.  
Yor: Huah…
Loid: Ehehe…I must say, that was impressive. Did you see how far the guy went flying? 
Yor: Ehe, it’s crazy. Guess I don’t know my own strength. Ehumhumhumhum! 
Man #28: THERE HE IS! 
Loid: Hueh! This way!
Man #28: I don’t care how you do it; JUST KILL HIM!
Man #29: WAHEH!
Man #30: DUOH!
Yor: So, uh, Loid…this may not be the best time to ask…but will you marry me?
Loid: Auh! Gueuh!
Yor: AAUH!
Loid: I’m sorry?
Yor: Well…I suppose it would extend our agreement…but honestly, it seems that people are suspicious of me just because I’m single, so it’d be kind of a nice little camouflage? 
Yor’s thoughts: And it would help me cover for the assassin job too.  
Yor: Um, basically, if it works for you, maybe you and I could stay together. I mean, after the whole interview thing is over. It’d be…for both of our sakes.  
Yor’s thoughts: It’s happening so fast…but he’s probably the only person in the world who could accept me for who I am.
Loid: Hm…let’s swing by City Hall to fill out the paperwork.
Yor: Eum, yeah, like right now?
Loid: No time like the present. Oh, hang on.
Yor: Eum?
Loid: Eum! Did I drop it?
Man #23: YOU BASTARD! WE GOT HIM CORNERED!
Man #22: YOU’RE DEAD, YOU HEAR ME?!
Loid: Yor…even in sickness…or in sadness…no matter what hardships we may face…let’s do it together.
Yor: Yeah!
Loid’s thoughts: Until my mission…
Yor’s thoughts: Until my killing…
Loid’s thoughts, Yor’s thoughts: …do us part.

💭 Did I possibly find the troll? If you go to Irene's recent video and sort comments by "new", this person has commented under a "finally the Irene era", about an hour ago. Very active in spamming the channel with troll comments. Male wakgae who went to the concert in Manila
'https://www.youtube.com/@joeblack7326/videos /post/33539/
💭 If you look at 🫅 recent Youtube comments, the troll started being active the same time like here in the forum (4 hours ago) lmfao. It should be noted that Joe is not his real name, that's a movie character (Joe Black). But I am already onto it. For someone who has terrorized 🫅 forums as a straight guy. Wow. Don't think you can apologize. Wait and see /post/33652/
💭 That Filipino troll is still clearly here. He likes this song. 0:27 It says "ako ay pangit at hindi kaakit akit" which means he's ugly and unattractive. The rest of the lyrics also sounds just like how his brain works it's full of slutshaming to make himself better. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCNqtVyRPV4 | He hates himself, why did he decide to be a fan of Wendy when he has dark skin? /post/33826/

Cueshé - Borrowed Time
@ joeblack7326 7 years ago (edited) You never appreciate something until it's gone. More than a decade after this song is released, you'll realize that this band actually had good and meaningful songs with heartfelt and honest lyrics. I'd listen to this any day than the music we are hearing today.
Tumblr media
@ joeblack7326 hace 3 años (editado) Mindblowing fact: This is actually NOT their original song. This is just a revival. This song is actually an old song by Lee Seung Chul in the year 1989 titled "Girls' Generation". Coincidentally, it is the year when most of SNSD's members were born and that song is actually where they got their group name "Girls' Generation" if ever you're 'https://girls-generation-girls-generation-mv.mp3cielo.co/v4

The Inhabitants' Dialogue (Part 4)
Been a while since I've wrote these. Anyways, here is the last one with the Inhabitants. Here, this is what I think they'll say in the opening of their stories, in their endings, in their secret endings, and in the bad ending.
Jose Gallard: *In the opening of his story* My farm… Why did this have to happen? After all that hard work�� The storm ruined everything. What point is there for me to repair my farm if my crops are just going to get tossed away?
*In his ending* There will always be storms to come, and they will always be unpredictable, but the most important thing is that I can't give up. I must keep taking care of my farm.
*In his secret ending* My boy, you've came by for a visit! How your mother and I missed you so! How has college been for you? *Hears his son tell him that he wants to be a gardener and open up a flower shop* Planting is definitely in your blood, son! Keep up the good work! Your mother and I will always have your back! *To himself after his son leaves* Thank you, Balan, for everything.
*In the bad ending* Leo… Emma… Where are you two? We need your help… You're our only hope!
Fiona Demetria: *In the opening of her story* I'm never going into the ocean again! It's far too dangerous for me! How can I forgive that dolphin for doing this to me?
*In her ending* I forgive you, buddy. I miss you too. I now realize that it was an accident. That you would never intentionally hurt me. You're my best friend and nothing can change that.
*In her secret ending* Hi, buddy. Welcome back! *sees an albino dolphin* Aww, you brought a new friend to introduce me too? Let's swim together! *As soon as the dolphins dive back in the water* Thank you, Balan. Thank you. *Dives in*
*In the bad ending* No, no, no! This can't be happening to us!
Yuri Brand: *In her opening* Nobody seems to like what I like… Are bugs really that bad? I'll never find a friend that has the same interests as I do…
*In her ending* So this is what it's like to have friends with the same interests… I no longer have to worry about what others think… I have these guys and my bugs. They are the ones that really matter.
*In her secret ending* The butterflies finally came back! *hears a strange chirping* Oh? What's this I hear? *Goes to a nearby bush and discovers a strange species of cricket* Wow, so pretty! I have to show everyone in class this beauty, then I'll let it hop free. *Gently lifts it up and puts it in a tank* Thanks for everything, Balan.
*In the bad ending* W-What's going to happen to us? How are we going to get home now?
Haoyu Chang: *In his opening* No matter what I do, I would always fail! What's the use? I'll never be able to take to the skies.
*In his ending* I have to be patient with myself. I must work hard and carefully if I wish to fly. Before I know it, I'll be flying to great places.
*In his secret ending* Fiona! Glad you dropped by today! Enjoyed your swimming session earlier? *After hearing Fiona's response* Nice! Check out my new flying machine! I made it myself! What do you think? Don't suppose you want to fly with me? *After Fiona says yes* Nice! It's in my workshop! Hop on in and I'll join you. *Once he's by himself* Thanks, Balan. *Goes to his flying machine*
*In the bad ending* This can't be! Is this really happening to Wonderworld?
Sana Hudson: *In her opening* How can humans be so cruel to nature? It's just not fair to the birds! Yet, here I am, unable to do anything to protect them…
*In her ending* I may not stop construction, but there's more ways I can help the birds. Planting new trees in the neighborhood and building houses with some trees will definitely bring the birds back.
*In her secret ending* Lovely day as usual. The birds sure are chatty today. *Sees a baby bird injured* Aww, you poor little guy. I'll take care of you. *Walks home with the baby bird in her hand* Balan, thank you.
*In the bad ending* No! This can't be happening! Leo! Emma! Get up! We need you! Don't give in!
Cass Milligan: *In her opening* I-It's all my fault…. If only I hadn't been so careless…. I'll never forgive myself for this! *sobs*
*In her ending* You're okay, kitty! I'd thought I lost you for good! Now, we can play together again! I'll take you to my place where it will be your new home!
*In her secret ending* You want to show me something? *Follows her kitten to the clocktower and encounters a bunch of kittens* Kitties! *Giggles when the kittens start snuggling over her* Thank you, Balan!
*In the bad ending* I-I want to go home… It's so dark and scary… What's Lance going to do to us?
Cal Suresh: *In his opening* I can't believe I lost! I always win! I will not accept this! Ever! *Growls in anger*
*In his ending* To truly enjoy a game, it's not about winning. It's actually about having fun, no matter who wins or loses. I will keep on playing for the sake of playing.
*In his secret ending* Wow, opening up this chess workshop really paid off. Lots of kids are eager to learn. I'd better get ready for the next session before the kid arrives. *Starts preparing* Thank you for everything, Balan.
*In the bad ending* Lance can't win! Not now! And not ever!
Iben Bia: *In her opening* No…. Mother… Father… I need you here with me…. You two can't be gone… I-I'd rather not love anyone than keep on losing others…
*In her ending* I'll never stop missing my parents, but I have my fiancè with me. He'll make sure I'm looked after always. I must go check up on him. He probably misses me.
*In her secret ending* Son, meet your little sister. *Introduces her son to his infant sister and watches as he bonds with her before looking at the pictures of her parents* One day, I'll tell him about you two. You would have been the best grandparents he and my daughter would ever have. *Smiles* Thank you, Balan, thank you.
*In the bad ending* No… It's too late… Where is Emma and Leo?
Attilio Caccini: *In his opening* What should I do? How can I tell Princess Merry how I feel? Will she accept me? What if she rejects me? This is all so frustrating!
*In his ending* I now have the courage to tell Princess Merry how I feel. Here goes nothing. *Goes up to Princess Merry* Princess, I have feelings for you. I always have.
*In his secret ending* Since I've confessed all those years ago, now it's time for me to work up the courage to propose to her. But I know I can do it. *Looks at the engagment ring that's for Adult! Cass* I hope to spend the rest of my days with her. *Closes eyes* Thank you, Balan.
*In the bad ending* Wonderworld is corrupted!? How is this possible!? Emma and Leo couldn't have possibly failed!
Lucy Wong: *In her opening* I don't know what to paint! But I have to think of something! Everyone in the musuem is waiting for my next piece! But I can't think of something!
*In her ending* I think I know what I must paint. *Paints her sky painting* Ah, it's perfect! This will go great in the museum! *Smiles as everyone applauds for the new painting* I will make more paintings from now on!
*In her secret ending* Just another dash of mauve… And there! All twelve paintings are finally complete! They'll definitely go well in the musuem. Especially the one painting that I've saved. *Pulls out a painting that had Balan, the theater, Emma and Leo, and all twelve Inhabitants smiling while bundled together* Thank you, Balan!
*In the bad ending* Darlings! No! We're doomed!
Eis Glover: *In his opening* I want to be a firefighter… I want to be a hero… But how can I if I'm scared of fires? I'm no hero, just a coward…
*In his ending* I have to face my fears. My people need me to protect them. *Grabs his hose* Time to prove that I'm a hero.
*In his secret ending* Sana! Long time since we've seen each other after leaving Wonderworld! *Sees the colorful birdhouses* Did you create all of these? They look really nice! And the birds seem to enjoy them.
*In the bad ending* Leo! Emma! You can't give up now! That's what Lance wants!
Bruce Stone: *In his opening* Why doesn't anyone notice that I'm trying to help this town? Do they not see me? I guess I'm not making a difference…
*In his ending* There really are people that wish to make a difference like me. *Hears everyone applaud him* Aww, thanks everyone.
*In his secret ending* Oh, hello there! *Sees a young boy with dark brown hair picking up trash* What's your name? *After the boy tells him his name and that his parents are in the hospital* Oh my! Are they okay? *After the boy reveals that he'll be a big brother soon to a little sister* Aww, congratulations. I have a feeling that she'll follow in your kind footsteps. *Helps the boy clean the neighborhood and drops him off at home* I'll see you again soon, young one. *To himself* Thank you, Balan. Thank you.
*In the bad ending* No… It's too late… Lance has won…

A brief not-a-review of why I love the queer pirate show
Skuld and I just watched all of HBO's Our Flag Means Death in three days, and I am smitten. I have been very weak for shows about pirates who aren't great at actual pirating, as well as shows where the subtext goes text, as well as for... well, I keep thinking about Gintama? Humor and silliness getting you laughing, and then when your guard is down: BAM, feelings. And found family. Fandom-wise, the experience of watching it was a lot like watching Yuri on Ice, going Wait, is this really happening?!". Giddiness and joy and an overwhelming sense of this being for us, for queer people wanting to see queer love on screen. But YOI always had the slightest plausible deniability for Reasons, whereas the moment I decided I needed to put OFMD at the top of my watch list was when Taika Waititi (who plays Blackbeard, half of the OTP) tweeted: 🏳️‍🌈🧨💥I'm very proud of this romantic comedy we made. Very proud. It's not "bromantic", it's ROMANTIC. If you hate this show, don't worry, I still love you. And I hope you begin to understand the many layers that love can encompass. Love is love baby. [taikawaititi, Mar 25] And this was on a quote retweet to a beautiful little vid about the progression of the main relationship. I only watched it after finishing the show, because: spoilers. But wow. That's all really there. In the text. On our screens. 2022, and we have a show that is a rom-com (about pirates!) and the leads who fall in love are both guys and this is no big deal. The show's creator David Jenkins answered a thankful fan: Thank you for embracing the show. Everyone deserves to see themselves falling in love onscreen. Wildly over-produced goofy pirate adventures are for all of us. Romantic comedies are for all of us.❤️🙏🏻 [david_jenkins__, Mar 25] And yeah. That's the show. For all of us who didn't know this show was exactly what we needed. (And given that there are over 100 new fanworks on AO3 since last night - right now there are 1365 total, but click the tag if you're reading this later and the number will definitely have gone up - there are a lot of us.) Finally, my non-spoilery capsule review (aka a tweet I wrote in reply to Skuld's tweet about the costumes, but that really sums up what this show is to me): I adore it. It's perfect. It's so utterly ridiculous you either bounce off completely, or turn your inner nitpicker off completely, and I unironically love watching things I can enjoy with my whole heart and like one brain cell.
[Crossposted from Dreamwidth, originally posted April 5th. I have since watched the whole show again.]
