Verses

V; Main - Takes place on Krynn throughout the course of the musical, when Raistlin is working toward his goal of overthrowing Takhisis, but before he time travels back to Istar.

V; Lord of Nothing - Takes place after the musical, when Raistlin is getting used to the measure of godhood he has attained. He is tortured by visions of Takhisis mocking him, and by the void that the Abyss has become as a result of her death, but desperate to make something new of it and himself. Eventually, he becomes a guide for the ambitious and vengeful, as well as the Mad King of Darkness, drawing demons and chromatic dragons alike into his thrall via a series of trials where he proves his might. He seeks not to conquer the world of Krynn, as he has already attained the throne he so craved, but to manipulate and punish the wicked in equal measure. He has come to a sort of understanding with Paladine and the other gods: as long as they and their followers keep out of his realm, he will refrain from waging war.

V; Change of Heart - Upon realizing that he’s fallen in love with Crysania, Raistlin finally begins having some second thoughts about his plans. Takhisis possesses her as normal, but instead of strengthening his resolve, it forces him to face the fact that he’s throwing away his life along with the lives of countless others, and that combined with the fact that he’s coping with his first real love sends him into an existential crisis. Seeing the perfect opportunity, Takhisis begins torturing him with visions of his past and possible future, from memories of being relentlessly bullied as a child to nightmares of being trapped in the Abyss forever as her servant. He’s tearfully reliving his murder of the illusory Caramon at the end of his Test of High Sorcery when Crysania finally breaks free of her possession and intervenes, with the real Caramon showing up just in time to help her drive Takhisis away. Raistlin is left unconscious and exhausted, but when he awakens, he tells the pair that they need to seal the portal as thoroughly as possible, and that he never should have tried to open it. He and Crysania work together rather excellently to do so. A lengthy confession and apology from Raistlin follows, and after a lecture from Caramon about all the damage caused by the wizard’s machinations, the trio vow to do what they can to provide relief to the war torn lands of Krynn, with Caramon splitting off from Raistlin and Crysania because he needs time away from his brother. Eventually, after years of working with him, Crysania forgives Raistlin enough to confess that she has fallen in love with him, too, and the two get married!

V; isekai - an AU in which Main Verse!Raistlin gets yeeted into any other setting (modern, BG3, Curse of Strahd, DC, Marvel, etc.) via portal shenanigans, a magical mishap of some kind, or a rogue Nautiloid snatching him and a few others up as it bamfs in and out of Krynn. DM me for details if you want a thread like this! I love it a lot, and am happy to talk it out.

Modern Verses

Background - Raistlin and Caramon Majere were born in Detroit, Michigan to a Russian immigrant mother and factory worker. Caramon came out first, and was born healthy and strong, but Raistlin’s birth was far more difficult, resulting in a number of health problems. The doctors gave him a few days. His mother, however, was equally stubborn as she was nurturing, and with her care, he beat the odds. He was a sickly child, and very much an introvert despite his natural charm. Caramon was always the more outgoing of the two, playing with the neighborhood kids and defending his brother from bullies. When they were around five or six, Raistlin began to show both signs of a genius level intellect and interest in his mother’s occult studies. His father wasn’t enthusiastic about it, so she taught the boy spells when he wasn’t home. A few months later, Raistlin’s and Caramon’s father was killed in a work place accident caused by the foreman’s negligence, but their nosy widow neighbor declared that Raistlin was a wicked child, and that it was his fault. Furious and heartbroken, their mother packed up everything, sold the house, and moved them out of Detroit following the funeral. They settled down in a small town in Connecticut. It was an adjustment, for sure, but the family was able to start over again. Eventually, their mother remarried, and they wound up with a cool lawyer for a stepdad. Caramon started playing football in middle school, and Raistlin finally found his voice when he joined the choir, as well as a love for the stage. When they entered high school, he immediately got involved with the theater department, auditioning for the annual musical and getting the lead. Caramon saw how much fun his brother was having, and decided to follow suit in their sophomore year. They became nearly inseparable after that, filming various skits and duets to put on their YouTube channel. It didn’t stop Raistlin from surging ahead in terms of academics, though, and he wound up graduating a year early. He was accepted into multiple universities at seventeen, but ultimately decided on Harvard.

V; Modern 1 - Raistlin is a university student, majoring in Performing Arts and minoring in Occult Studies. He’s well on his way to a Master’s Degree, but is aiming for a Doctorate. He also has a love of Dungeons & Dragons and other improv heavy tabletop games.

V; Modern 2 - With a shrewd strategy, relentless ambition, and cunning mind, Dr. Raistlin Majere has made waves in the spiritual side of the academic world. His numerous essays and journals detailing definitive proof of demons, devils, and ghosts have rocketed him to stardom as one of the world’s foremost occultists, and he now enjoys a tenured position as a professor at Harvard University, teaching Demonology and Occult Studies. Rumors swirl about him practicing black magic, but when his students ask, he always deflects, and time seems to fly by. The few who have dared to meet his gaze directly after such conversations swear that his pupils have an hourglass design, but it’s gone when they look again. He doesn’t hide the fact that he’s a Satanist; that’s something his mother taught him, and he will always be proud of it. He does, however, make a huge effort to debunk a lot of the gruesome myths surrounding Satanism.

AUs/Wishlist

Pokémon - Raistlin is an occultist first and a trainer second, running ghost/dragon/dark type team.

Gilmore Girls - same as the modern verse, but the twins grew up in Stars Hollow. Raistlin, Caramon, and Rory were thick as thieves throughout their childhood, with the boys being the closest things she had to brothers. They taught her a decent bit of Russian, and often dragged her and Lane into their skits and other theatrical shenanigans. Rory joined Caramon in defending Raistlin from bullies, making Lorelei incredibly proud, and this trend continued when they went to Chilton together; in return, Raistlin did the same for her, privately hexing any entitled brat who tried to get under her skin, and publicly embarrassing them with his razor sharp wit. The two stayed close throughout high school, but grew apart after Rory chose to go to Yale instead of Harvard.

V; Regency - compliant with Bridgerton, but not strictly tied to it. Essentially, Raistlin’s mother remarried into a noble family when he and Caramon were both little, after their father died. Adjusting to life in the ton has been difficult, but they’ve managed, and at 25, Raistlin has finally been pushed and prodded enough to find a suitable spouse. He’s not fond of the marriage mart. At all. For many reasons! But his good looks and bookish nature have made him quite the desirable bachelor. Caramon, who’s already been married for five years, assures him that he will find the right person in time, but Raistlin would much rather be holed up in his study, poring over ancient tomes and solving the mysteries of the occult.

V; Fairytale/Fantasy - Once a noble hero, the great wizard Raistlin Majere fell to the temptation of dark magic, though he claimed he only wished to use it for good. After a spell went horribly awry, drastically altering his appearance and degrading his health, he was revealed, put on trial, and sentenced to exile in the Marwood for treason and witchcraft. Bitter and vengeful, Raistlin retaliated by putting a curse on the king and his family. Every heir to that throne would be compelled to try and find him upon their coronation, only to be doomed to wander the Marwood until they met a gruesome end. The curse would only be lifted if one managed to find him and bring him back to the palace. He then disappeared in a puff of smoke, and hasn’t been seen since, though his twin brother, Caramon, has organized many a search party.

V; DC - Raistlin Majere is an occultist living in Gotham. Has the potential to become a villain or antihero, but doesn’t yet have the motivation. He mainly focuses on his studies.

V; Marvel - During the battle of New York, Dr. Majere was giving a guest lecture on demonology at a local university when chaos erupted. The lecture hall was destroyed by Chitauri, and many students were injured or killed. Raistlin tried to save as many as he could, demonstrating his arcane prowess, but it cost him dearly. Only by making a deal with a demon as he lay dying in the wreckage did he manage to make it out alive. Hair bleached white, eyes turned a sickly yellow, and skin rendered golden, he was forever changed, and swore vengeance upon every cretinous wretch that dared to invade his world. He keeps himself hidden away, now, but when a threat arises, the Black Mage always shows up to hex a bitch into next week!

V; Yu-Gi-Oh! - As an occultist, Raistlin has quite a fascination with the spiritual aspect of Duel Monsters, though he’s more of an expert on European demonology and black magic than on Ancient Egypt. He became a duelist at a young age, and upon discovering that he could see and communicate with duel spirits, bonded with a powerful spellcaster known as Chaos Sorcerer. As devoted as he is to his studies, he still makes time to duel in tournaments on occasion, as he finds it entertaining to trounce others with his Spellcaster/Fiend deck, and he has aspirations of defeating all the major duelists in the world (Kaiba, Pegasus, Yugi, etc.) at least once. Just for fun. And perhaps to boost his ego. His twin brother is also a formidable duelist, though Caramon is a professional and takes the tournament circuit far more seriously…when he’s not out drinking his friends and rivals under the table. The two have even competed in tag-team tournaments before.

V; Rockstar - Modern AU in which Raistlin ends up becoming the lead singer of a gothic glam rock band named Lord of Nothing. The group prospers mostly on talent and iconic appearance alone (a mix of goth/punk black leather and dark fantasy, with Raistlin appearing as a silver-haired mage), though a bit of black magic has gone a long way. He just hopes it won’t come back to bite him later. The rest of the band has no idea that he’s been conducting dark rituals here and there to boost their popularity.

V; Wizarding World - Raistlin and Caramon are the orphaned twin heirs of the pureblood Majere family. After their parents were murdered by Death Eaters, the two moved from Russia to Scotland to live with their mother’s sister. They got their Hogwarts letters a couple of years later, and attended in the same year as the Golden Trio. Despite having vowed to protect each other no matter what, Caramon was sorted into Gryffindor, while Raistlin was sorted into Slytherin, and thus marked the beginning of their slow drifting apart. Raistlin excelled in Transfiguration and Defense Against The Dark Arts, but quickly became thirsty for knowledge of the Dark Arts themselves, eager to find a way to avenge his parents and become more powerful than the wizards who’d killed them.

[akkivee]

@courage-a-word-of-justice post was getting a little long lmao

ichiro creating their filing system was mentioned in the first bbmtc manga drama track!!!!!

and for the life of me, i can’t remember where they mentioned that saburo has a lot of money saved up, but it is a canon detail that saburo has over ¥10,000,000 in savings he acquired from playing the stock market. abema hosted these division study guide episodes back in 2021 on each division where they talked about character profiles and that’s the last time i remember it ever coming up lol

the yamadas’ relationship with money is so fascinating and a dynamic i think is in the process of being told within the story, which that’s exciting lol, but i think those points hit it on the mark!!! i’ve been interpreting it as

ichiro is the eldest who is also responsible for keeping them afloat. keeping them together has always been the root of his fears so he micromanages everything, especially money as he sees it as the source of their safety

jiro grew up feeling very loved in the orphanage and regularly visits the orphanage if that 2️⃣3️⃣📚🎲 event in arb ik you’re far more familiar with than i am lmao was anything to go by. jiro’s situational awareness can be a little off sometimes, maybe bc he did grow up well in the orphanage and by ichiro making sure he doesn’t want for anything despite their living situation, so he might not be too aware of the what costs to stay together

saburo is very conscientious of always being protected, whether it was jiro protecting him from bullies extorting him in the tdd manga extras, to knowing how hard ichiro’s working for them and admiring him for him. i also wouldn’t be surprised if those savings of his were a ‘just in case’ fund if something were to happen that threatened their livelihood

rei’s made bank off those aforementioned means and he actually flaunts them at ichiro in his glory or dust verse lmao. if money is ichiro’s issue, he’s got plenty of it and rei always tries to reach out to ichiro to get him to join him, so rei’s wealth could maybe also be means of maintaining any kind of relationship with his sons

which also kinda makes me wonder what the future looks like for the yamadas lol. like that’s a point of comparison i make with bat and bb, the fact bat all know what their ideal future is but bb hasn’t talked about theirs. ichiro is so scared to not be with his bros; it was a topic point in those long removed hypnosis radios and the recent bb drama track might be seeding out the thought that what they have can’t last forever. do the bros retire early with saburo’s savings lmao and live together still??? it’d be nice to hear their thoughts on the future lol

[thenanbakacorner]

Hi , could you do Autistic S/O with Cell 13 or just Hijame and Samuo and the two other I keep misspelled and forgetting ( the dog one and peacock , forgive me (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) ) my friend got me into Nanbaka in July of this year and I love it so much , Nico and Hijame is my all time favorite since I enjoy anime and I just love his funny moments

Sure thing! And no worries! I decided on doing Cell 13 for this ^^

Because every autistic person is different behaviorally, I referenced the behaviors of a family member who has autism for this so I could write this more realistically; hope it worked out ;w; Examples used on this being; socially anxious, hyperfixations and behavioral problems

* * *

🔓 Jyugo 🔓

Jyugo is a very compassionate and kind lover, who always makes sure that his S/O is comfortable and happy

He loves to just hold them close as they sit and cuddle, murmuring how much he loves them and how cute they are

He finds their hyperfixations on certain things to be rather cute, and intently listens any time they ramble about things they enjoy

If they ever get anxious in a crowd, he'll gently lead them away to somewhere more private so it can be just them or them and their close friends

He's very patient with them any time they have outbursts or get upset, holding them gently and whispering loving words to them

If anyone ever dares make fun of his S/O for their autism, he'll have no hesitation to chew them out and, if need be, crack them in the nose

🎲 Uno 🎲

Uno absolutely dotes on his S/O, spoiling them with gifts out of his work earnings and prizes from the arcade

Totally fuels their hyperfixations. They hyperfixate on games? He'll buy them any game they desire. What about figurines? Sure, here's five figurines each of which had cost hundreds!

Loves to squish their cheeks and kiss them on the nose while muttering nonsense about how adorable they are

Given his extroverted self, he tends to lean towards the crowds, but always makes time to be secluded with his S/O, who's quite the opposite

Any time his S/O starts to act out, he's very understanding and patient, and gives them space and time to calm down

Once they do he wraps them up in a warm blanket and gives them the softest loving kisses

🍩 Rock 🍩

Rock takes very good care of his S/O, always spending plenty of time with them and fulfilling their needs

Always makes sure Shiro cooks them their favorite foods and smuggles in snacks for them

Is amused by their hyperfixations and the way they ramble, and enjoys listening to them talk

If he notices his S/O getting overwhelmed in a crowd, he'll take their hand to reassure and comfort them that everything's okay, and will take them away for some privacy if need be

Outbursts are no problem for Rock-- he will stay right beside them, whispering comforting words and quietly shushing them until they calm down

This big tough man will do anything in his power to keep his darling safe and happy, no matter what

💊 Nico 💊

Nico and his S/O are quite the match-- having similar energy and activeness

Nico eagerly listens to any of his S/O's rambling and will ramble right along with them

Movie night is every night-- they can stay up for hours just watching anime and movies together cuddled up in a blanket cocoon

Politely excuses himself and his S/O anytime a crowd becomes too much for them to handle and they wander off to spend time together elsewhere

When his S/O is upset he'll gently put his hands on their shoulders and put his forehead to theirs, quietly whispering to them to soothe them

Nico is overall very playful and loving and just dotes on his S/O 24/7

🎲+🐚

Writer Truth Or Dare asks.

🎲 ⇢ what stops you from writing more in your free time? 

tumblr XD

That's a joke, but also not. Distractions is the biggest issue, for me. Which includes tumblr, video games, discord, chores, etc. Everything that can involve sitting down to write, and then not doing that. (Including re-reading fic, both other people's and my own shit.)

Also, tiredness. Fuck capitalism, and fuck this trashfire of a country. We should all have more free time, and thus more energy both physical and mental. But everything is so exhausting sometimes, that it's easier to just start scrolling through tumblr or meandering through Tamriel or Taris or Henford-on-Bagley than it is to do anything, even the things you really want to do.

Blah.

🐚 ⇢ do you like or dislike surprises?

I like them, in the sense of I'm someone who prefers not to be "spoiled" on a story ahead of time, so that I can have the experience of discovering its contents and emotions for myself; and I like them, in the sense of I don't tend to scour around for clues and hints, because I enjoy discovering the story as it happens to me more than I do the potential "smugness" of knowing it all ahead of time, and so I deliberately don't look for stuff that might give-away things ahead of time. I'd rather be surprised...but on the other hand:

I loathe them, in the sense of the "hide all spoilers at all costs! shock value, shock value! never let the audience guess what's coming! if the audience can guess something ahead of time, the story is ruined! if the audience guesses something ahead of time, you change it!" nonsense that has pervaded so much of the media landscape of late.

I'm pretty good at picking-up on little clues and I'm familiar enough with stories as a "thing" that I tend to be able to tell where a story is going faster than most people I know (especially movies, which are by nature more limited in scope than a novel) due to both experience with narrative as a concept and a good memory for details, so I'm quite used to not being shocked by the bulk of the things I read/watch; but I've never found this a bad thing, like so many of the big corporate media entities these days seem to have made it into.

That's just called noticing what's happening, and extrapolating. I mostly tend to figure out something shortly before it happens, which adds a delightful flavor of "omg will it...?" anticipation to the story, without detracting from the experience of having the story unfold, even when it unfolds as I thus expect it to. That doesn't mean the story is bad; it means that narrative often follows a cause-effect format, and stories echo, and foreshadowing is a thing, and you should have a plot that makes fucking sense, etc etc. And because a good story should be entertaining even after you know the twist, it's not a big deal either way!

How many times have I watched The Empire Strikes Back? Far more than I can keep count of! And it remains my favorite Star Wars movie to this day...even though I've known the "twist reveal" since I was six. (I do wish I could remember my reaction from the first time I watched it, though! Just for fun!) But the emotional weight of the reveal to Luke remains just as potent now, even when the audience's shock is gone. Because the story doesn't hinge upon the twist.

I think everybody should have the opportunity to experience things like that for themselves unspoiled, so they can have the emotional impact hit the to its full extent (hence I will never ever tell anyone what The Thing in Mastiff is ahead of time, no matter how many times my roommate begs me to; because as we suffered, so shall ye!) but I don't think that knowing those things ahead of time ruins a story, either.

If a "spoiler" can ruin your story, your story isn't actually much of a story; it's just a gimmick. And I'm interested above all in stories. Whether they surprise me or not.

(Sorry, that one turned into more of a Rant About Modern Media than an actual answer, whoops!)

But to try and get a little more back on track for a summarizing conclusion here: I like being able to shock my audience, but I like even more than that having them catch-on to what's probably going to happen beforehand so that they can start to go oh no oh fuck is it...? before it does. That's my favorite kind of surprise to experience in fiction, and my favorite kind of one to write too: the anticipated one. Not known; but guessed.

And that works for both excited anticipation, and dreaded!

🎲 For Caz, Woowoo, or both? You pick! ( @plague-on-the-run / @nomans-land-rp )

Might get long so sit tight!

For Caz

What do you get when a lightning storm and a typhoon meet up in a bar? A bunch of bounty hunters looking for a quick payday with reckless abandon for everyone else around them. There were chairs and bullets alike flying through the air, along with a couple of people who the biggest of the brute group getting real handsy about chucking a pair of outlaws around. However, what they certainly didn't expect, though they should have with double dollars to their names, was the ferocious combination of Caz and Vash fighting together. One cussing up a storm at their assailants and the other apologizing before clocking a man in the head with the side of his bigass pistol. There were no casualties, though no one really left that tiny saloon without bruises and bumps. To the pair's rare grace of fortune, after all had been said and done, it turns out those "bounty hunters" have been causing trouble for civilians, acting more like thugs than protectors, so the people were more than glad to hold off calling the authorities on the two until... Midday the next day. Don't get the people wrong, they're very thankful, but the mere presence of people with such high profiled bounties is bound to attract more trouble, especially Vash... Which he completely understood and thanked them for the generosity (even though they're going to have to SPRINT out of town first thing in the morning). The allotted time, however, did grant the Harbinger and Humanoid Typhoon enough time to scurry back to the inn they'd split costs in to gather their stuff and lick their wounds. That's when he noticed that Caz hadn't been using their left arm much since the fight. Granted, it was hard to see when they had their cloak on, but when the realization that they'd probably dislocated it hit, Vash immediately took it upon himself to tend to his friend. He insisted that it was okay, that he's set dislocated bits at least... Once or twice... And that it'd hurt only for a second. Maybe that was a white lie, but after some banter back and forth about trying to convince his stubborn companion that they were not fine and did need some help, he made quick work of straightening them out.

They did a count down from three, and with a loud CRACK, Caz's arm was set back where it should be. Vash made a face of sympathetic pain, and before he realized what he'd done, he'd found himself reflexively putting his forehead to their injury as if that'd soothe it. But that's not how humans make booboos feel better, so he quickly readjusted his technique and gave their shoulder a quick kiss, "There! All better. We just have to make you a sling or something so you don't put more stress on it... Why are you looking at me like that?" The redness to their face will be chalked up to the adrenaline of the fight still coursing through their veins. They weren't flustered by the sweet gesture. Shut up!! ❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁✿❀❁ NOW IT'S TIME FOR....... El WooWoo

Under the pale light of the planet's five moons, Nicholas D. Wolfwood may be wondering why in the hell himself and Blondie surprise over here even kid themselves by booking rooms with separate beds. It's not every night's stay, but there's been a significant few times where they've dragged their asses into their lodging and just laid claim to the same bed simultaneously, with neither of them relenting giving up the space.

Tonight, Nico would find himself crammed off to the right side of a twin bed, having to share it with Vash, who definitely got there second and insisted on just... Curling up like a big dog with his head resting on Wolfwood's stomach. They weren't gonna share the single pillow too, that would be insane.

There was some boyish bickering over the whole situation, the least of which included the priest being called out for his lack of generosity and sharing skills, which was followed by trying to shove Vash off the bed... Which only inspired the idea of WHAPPING his prosthetic hand down onto his dearest companion a bit harder than he intended to. Apologies immediately followed after Wolfwood tensed up under the tremendous open-palmed slap to his gut, (as if neither of them have experienced injury worse than that in their life). Another push was made to shove the walking disaster of a man off the bed, which was met by the biggest, saddest, wettest beast plead of forgiveness Wolfwood had ever seen prior to a little kissy kiss being put down over his already fading slap mark. Didn't matter that the shirt was in the way, its the intention for forgiveness!

Bah. It's too late and they're both too tired for more arguing and all this other crap. With a gruff "Stop lookin' at me like that, I'm fine" given, Vash would take that middle ground met and resume their regularly scheduled program of stubbornly and mildly uncomfortably sharing a bed for the night. They'll both wake up weirdly sore in the morning from the odd angles, but that's a tomorrow them problem.

🎲 dusk

🎲 How does their story get started? What's the inciting incident?

Ahhh an interesting choice!! I must admit, Dusk's story has one of the heaviest openings of all my stories, so much so that it needs several content warnings, which I will appropriately tag.

Dusk's story starts when she's 14, and opens in a hospital waiting room after her mother attempts suicide. Dusk is in shock and grappling with her complicated emotions about her mother, who she feels has slowly abandoned her over the course of several years, leaving more and more responsibilities that Dusk was forced to try and shoulder.

It's decided to send Dusk to stay with her extended family for a while, and in the time leading up to that she has a sort of silent breakdown in which she confronts her life, the future she sees ahead of herself, and the person she has become, and realizes that they are all intolerable to her. She decides that nothing will ever change unless she changes it, and that she must completely start over, upheave every part of her life, and claim total and complete freedom at whatever cost to the people around her.

On the train to her grandmother's the next day, Dusk grapples with the gravity and potential consequences of her idea, going back and forth, until she finally decides to get off the train early at a random stop, and just see how far she can go on her own.

"Sitting on a countertop surrounded by the paperwork of late bills, by all intents and purposes alone in the apartment, Dusk scraped out the last scraps of a bottle of peanut butter for a measly dinner. Here, at last, she realized: she would spend the rest of her life fighting tooth and nail just to keep the things she had. But what was it for, when she didn't want any of it?"

Is the era of reselling figures over? The changing landscape of the Japanese figure market.

Hey there, figure enthusiasts! 👋

Have you noticed a recent decline in the number of figures available on Japanese secondhand marketplaces? It seems like those once-overflowing listings have dried up. 🤔

What's behind this shift? It appears that resellers are pulling back from the figure market.

Why are resellers disappearing?

Several factors are contributing to this change:

Soaring Retail Prices: Figures are already expensive at retail, leaving little room for resellers to profit. 💸

Fewer Discounts: Those sweet, sweet deals are becoming harder to find. 😭

Marketplace Fees & Shipping Costs: These eat into profits, making reselling less attractive. 👿

Increased Availability at Retail: Reprintings and made-to-order figures mean less scarcity.

In short, reselling figures has become a high-risk, low-reward gamble 🎲

The Made-to-Order Trap

Made-to-order figures, in particular, are risky! Unlike limited edition figures, their popularity isn't clear until after release. This means there's a chance production will exceed demand, leading to price drops. 😨

The Lesson: Pre-order Your Figures!

Especially for popular titles and figures from well-known manufacturers, pre-ordering is essential! With fewer resellers, the chance of snagging a deal after release is slim.

Don't wait and see what happens - pre-order to guarantee you get the figures you want!

Even figures like the Swimsuit Wakamo could be affected… 🤔

2024 Week 35 Notes: Gotta Restart Somewhere

In an effort to reclaim some of my joy from the gaping maw of existential dread, I’ve restarted my weeknotes.

Concentrating on

Running (again)! I miss training for and running races, so I’ve revisited the Couch to 5k program to regain that level of fitness.

Cultivating

✍🏻 Outlining a short story for a collection I saw and got very excited about.

🧶 I’m knitting a gift for someone. Shh!

🥘 Food I made that went better than I expected:

The Best Crispy Roast Potatoes Ever: With a name like that, I expected to be disappointed. I was not.

Caprese Salad: With homegrown tomatoes and basil. Yep.

Corn Salad with Tomatoes, Feta, and Mint: Our homegrown tomatoes' delicate flavor got lost in the jumble, but it was a magnificent jumble nonetheless.

🇮🇹 On a Duolingo streak, aiming for basic Italian fluency by the end of 2024.

��� I told someone recently that I haven’t figured out how to fully disengage from my job so I can recover energy for my not-job self. Meredith Farkas has written extensively about the normalization of overwork (her blog is excellent) and I read each of her posts with both vindication and despondency.

Consuming

🖋️ Rediscovering my affection for Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo: a bold magenta with gold sheen.

🎧 Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe” is on repeat on my brain radio.

🎙 I loved the episode about misinformation and disinformation from the “Enthusiastic Encouragement and Dubious Advice” podcast.

🎲 I haven’t spent much time playing boardgames or puzzles lately, but I’ve rediscovered my love of crossword puzzles. I prefer doing them offline, but I also enjoy the daily Cross|word on Puzzmo.

📺 We’re almost caught up with all of “Fargo” now. I enjoyed the second season the most.

📚 Books I’ve finished reading and notable quotes:

“Big Time” by Ben H. Winters: “But maybe people trying hard and not worrying so much about the consequences is how things actually change. And, conversely, maybe everybody just doing what they’re supposed to do is how the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor and nothing changes.”

“Liars” by Sarah Manguso: “Why are you so angry? My husband frequently asked me why I was so much angrier than other women. It always made me smile. I was exactly as angry as every other woman I knew. It wasn’t that we’d been born angry; we’d become women and ended up angry.”

“Rouge” by Mona Awad: “If she did ask, I would say it was grief. The deepest grief. I know she would accept that as an answer. No one knows what’s inside grief. Anything at all can be there.”

From This Election Will Determine the Fate of Libraries by Amanda Jones:

So let’s tell the truth: Librarians are community helpers who provide resources for all. And the rapid spread of misinformation and hate towards librarians on social media platforms, and by talking heads in the media, is causing chaos in our nation’s libraries. It’s also cause for a rise in anti-library legislation by extremists.

One more thing

September is planner season, and I’ll be mixing it up for 2025. No more Hobonichi Weeks! 😱 I plan to write a whole other post about this soon.

P.S. This took me ages to finish, and it lifted my mood quite a bit. Time well spent.

Carly: no matter the fellas away now

Bartley: ‘til the next one

Carly: they’re not all of em visiting for me

Carly: the next’ll probably wish I wasnt there

Bartley: but there’s no guarantee

Bartley: that’s why she should’ve found herself a decent man by now, it isn’t safe

Carly: decent men are after decent women to settle down w

Bartley: obviously

Carly: when youre older it’ll be your way

Bartley: yeah

Carly: ive no guarantees for my path how you’ve

Bartley: is that what you want

Carly: wanting won’t make it so

Carly: nobody wants me for a wife only for things they’d never ask of who they’ll marry

Bartley: everyone can get what they want

Bartley: but of course you’ll have to act like the sort of girl who’s a wife not a whore, you can’t have your cake and eat it too

Carly: & an act would be all it was

Carly: ive already eaten my 🧁🍰 or been eaten like

Bartley: and we can all always mend our ways and repent

Carly: hes no need when I never did the honourable thing by him

Bartley: guess it saves the drama anyway

Bartley: not meant to

Carly: ive more use for friends & hes meant to be

Carly: I hope so now

Bartley: it must be awkward

Carly: course but we’re both trying for it to be less

Carly: & you reckon erin’s a 1 for hers

Bartley: don’t I know yours yet?

Carly: my god I don’t even know it yet

Bartley: how can you reckon it so terrible then

Carly: my ma reckoned on turning to 🍭🍬🚬🌿🌼🍄🍆🍺🍷🥃🍸🎱🔮🎈 herself for a reason & ive no daddy for another

Bartley: both being your mammy has no sense

Carly: you’ve sense to move yourself from me in ways of your own

Bartley: it’s not right, for girls and boys to be friends, not to us

Bartley: it isn’t personal

Carly: it’ll be personal this time, most it can

Bartley: because it’s private

Carly: what if you don’t like me underneath? what am I to do?

Bartley: I already do

Carly: oh

Bartley: oh, yeah, alright

Bartley: so stop worrying

Carly: if I cover myself w makeup & clothes to mean none of the bruises show u could stop me worrying

Bartley: no, I don’t want to see you yet

Carly: sorry I’ll be 😇✨🙏

Bartley: I’ll see you when you’re all better

Carly: 😁🤍🌞☁️🌼🌻🌚🌟🌠🤍

Bartley: if you need somewhere to hide out from your mammy whilst I’m at work, you can use my ‘van

Bartley: I have a spare [wherever a boy would, in the BBQ perhaps]

Carly: you’ll make me cry 🥺😢😭

Bartley: ah, don’t do that

Carly: but its that kind of u

Bartley: you can have Ali in but no one else, alright

Carly: I swear

Carly: to treat the place even better than if it was my own

Bartley: it’s a deal then

Carly: 🤝💚

Carly: [okay so the first day she uses his caravan, which I don’t imagine is anywhere near the next day after what we just did because she’s got a detox to do and many a panic attack to have, but whenever it is during the bruise fading 2 week period, we ALL know she’s gonna tidy up his caravan top to bottom for the whole day basically so it’s the tidiest it’s ever been (including washing the blanket she used before obvs) and pick him some of the flowers that are around and about for his table and leave him some kind of one pot meal that he only has to heat up when he gets back from work, it’s FINE]

Bartley: Was all this you?

Carly: I’m sorry

Carly: I only meant to wash up ☕️🥄 I’d used but I started & never stopped

Carly: don’t be 😤😠 @ me

Bartley: Why would I be mad at you

Bartley: I thought my mammy had been ‘round, you didn’t have to do any of this

Carly: I got carried away, like 😳

Carly: might be you dont even eat [whatever she has made which is the most lowkey and chill and boy safe meal ever but we’re still scared he’ll hate it]

Bartley: I do

Bartley: Thanks, for everything

Carly: its nothing

Carly: nowhere near as nice as letting me borrow your van today

Bartley: it’s very nice

Bartley: and I’m not good with words so I don’t know how to tell you it’s not nothing but yeah

Carly: u did us a double favour not the other way round

Carly: keeping me busy 🌺🐝🍯 & out from under my mas feet

Bartley: I feel like I should give you something, like

Carly: you already gave me knowing of where 🔑 was

Bartley: suppose so

Carly: w out it id be 😈😝😜🤪😈

Bartley: I’m impressed

Carly: I can keep the devil out or the dust?

Bartley: two birds one stone, weren’t it

Carly: sure & ive some sanity kept in either way

Bartley: can tell you look after your ma and not the right way ‘round

Carly: I told you so but yea now you’ve been shown too

Bartley: the chinese is gonna wonder where I am

Carly: idm if you feel you’ve to tell me when to take a day off

Carly: for ur 🥡🥢🍜 craving’s sake

Bartley: less of a craving when it’s what I have every night my ma’s not made something, you’re grand

Carly: every night? 😅

Carly: come now boy you’ll have the heart attack before I’ll

Bartley: Sure it depends what we’re driving past on the way home

Bartley: don’t judge me, girl

Carly: what I’m gonna do is care for u every night your mammy’s her other mouths to feed

Carly: then you’ll stay 💪💚 as you are

Bartley: what about yours?

Bartley: she can’t be risking 🥡🥢🍜 every night

Carly: nor can I

Carly: but 1 portion extra won’t be no bother to me if wes all eat the same

Bartley: sounds good to me

Carly: not seen the inside of the chinese since [whatever special occasion it’s a tradition for whether that’s boxing day or your mum’s bday or whatever, we’re giving it’s been ages but now this boy has made her want one haha]

Bartley: I owe you one now

Bartley: what do you get?

Carly: nah you’re grand

Carly: my ma’s no believer in the 🧚‍♀️🥡🥢🍜🧚‍♀️ & what else would I tell her?

Bartley: you can have it at mine

Bartley: no need to share your [thing that everyone always wants like spring rolls or prawn toast and you’d have to fight over in a fam]

Carly: or my [and tell him your order even though you’re sure he’ll make fun of you because I imagine it’s the kind of thing George mocks in his vids because your mother is that chav and you’ve clearly been having the same thing since you were an even younger child than the child you still are cos anxiety be like]

Carly: but I’m to wait [however long is left of your he doesn't want to see you with bruises era] then? 🥺💔😢💔😭💔

Bartley: ‘fraid so

Bartley: you’ll be all the more hungry for it at least

Carly: you don’t reckon ive worked up appetite enough for all your talk of being impressed w me

Bartley: you must be knackered, definitely 

Carly: 🙏💙🔮💜🤞🌠 I’ll sleep well 

Carly: another favour you’ll have done by me

Bartley: you did it yourself, along with making this place look brand new

Carly: least I can til I look new again myself

Bartley: not like you owed me anything

Carly: I wanted to do something kind back w the 🔑 cos of your  offer being kind in itself

Bartley: I didn’t offer just to be nice

Carly: you just are

Bartley: not always

Carly: I’ve had time to think of how often it’s been true & it’s more than not

Bartley: it has?

Bartley: I’ll have to take your word

Carly: I don’t blame you doubting it when there’s plenty ive only ever wanted to be true but this is

Bartley: I just don’t feel like I’ve been that nice to you

Bartley: just not the worst

Carly: you’re the nicest take my word

Bartley: alright

Carly: I like your [something she saw in his caravan] 

Bartley: oh

Bartley: I probably should’ve tidied up better myself before I left

Carly: you werent expecting me

Carly: & im not teasing, I mean it

Carly: [say something more specific about why you like the thing because you really do]

Bartley: was today the first time you came over?

Carly: yea

Carly: 1st I went from feeling like I couldn’t leave ours to I feckin had to go that minute there or else

Bartley: yeah, know the feeling

Bartley: I’m glad, that you did

Carly: me too

Bartley: I know I could just say I’ll see you now but I can’t

Bartley: I know I’ll not be alright with it

Carly: I’m not after u 👀 @ me  ❤️💜💙 either

 Carly: but I forget when ive had the day 💭 of you w all your things round me

Bartley: as long as we’re on the same page

Carly: we’re right to wait

Carly: & as you’ve clean sheets to lie on no reason it’ll hurt you to

Bartley: oh am I to get a good nights sleep too?

Carly: unless you can’t for 💭 of me in your bedroom

Bartley: might’ve crossed my mind

Carly: luckily I never kept u from your work having no knowing I was there doing my own for you yet

Carly: I’m still to be counted as 😇✨🙏 how I said I’d behave

Bartley: can’t fault you, nah

Carly: my cooking maybe when you’ve tried it

Bartley: I wouldn’t say, I’ve got manners

Carly: I can’t tell your mammy & if u hate it I’d sooner be told than feed you shite you’ve no stomach for

Bartley: It isn’t

Carly: you like it?

Bartley: ‘course, yeah

Carly: yay

Bartley: Yay, you’re gas

Carly: what’s gas?

Bartley: you, you’re funny

Carly: can’t I be 😁😁😁 you’re not 🤢🤮?

Bartley: you can

Bartley: but why would I be, you’re no dope, you know how to cook

Carly: for my ma

Carly: you’ve not killed your tastebuds 🚬🍺🍷🥃

Bartley: you don’t need to worry, alright

Carly: I’m not now, you like it

Bartley: Good

Carly: & you don’t have need to worry yourself bb

Carly: not about us im getting 😁🤍🌞☁️🌼🌻🌚🌟🌠

Bartley: I know

Carly: you’ll 👀

Bartley: yeah, so there’d be no point in you lying, I believe you 

Carly: you can trust me to tell yous all the truth

Carly: i am even when you’d be after hearing a lie instead

Bartley: I’ve seen you put your foot in it enough to know

Carly: you’re never far when it happens like but I take less offence to that than I used to

Bartley: you’re not the only one that makes a fool of themselves

Bartley: have been know to, unfortunately, so

Carly: much less often

Carly: you’re grand

Bartley: I’m trying to fit in

Bartley: you know you don’t

Carly: we won’t ever be welcome or belong

Carly: its my earliest knowing of what was so with living here

Bartley: has she ever said why here

Carly: not to me

Carly: but sure she’d wear her not fitting in like an honour, being so for the drama you hate

Bartley: that’s usually why gorjas try to be about us, sure

Carly: hear a story of hers you’ve em all there’s sense in that being an old & done to its death 1 as well

Bartley: Parents are just like that, a bit

Carly: doesnt jesus have words written down about how you’re to talk of your mammy & daddy?

Bartley: yes, but I never dishonoured ‘em

Bartley: I just mean they’ve their own words on everything and by the time you’re in double digits, you’ve heard ‘em all twice over at least

Carly: true enough, he’d probably agree anyway having had god & joseph both as his daddys

Bartley: must be so

Carly: I wonder where mine is & what words hes living by

Bartley: do you think about your daddy a lot?

Carly: I try not to he’d never be impressed by me 

Bartley: Can’t be very impressive himself, unless she gave him no clue of you

Carly: given who shes picked else since might be best I’m kept in darkness over him

Bartley: but you’d like to know, still

Carly: to have some real clue instead of my guesses would be something but hers are all she has

Bartley: a guess is just that, it can’t give you anything but it also can’t mess you up 

Bartley: like you said, you don’t know how bad it could be

Carly: you’re so 🍀🐇🌠🎲

Bartley: yeah, I know

Carly: but by the same logic my ma could be worse herself or I could be w out 1 at all

Carly: meaning ive some 🍀🐇🌠🎲

Bartley: couldn’t it always be worse

Bartley: don’t mean you have to be glad and grateful 

Carly: if not I’d be 😤🍋😠🍋😡😈🤬😈 & 🥺💔😢💔😭💔

Carly: if im not trying to find the good what am I trying to do?

Bartley: you don’t have to let her walk all over you and take the piss though

Bartley: there’s nothing 😁😁😁 about that

Carly: u don’t have to live with her

Bartley: no, you do

Carly: & my god I’m trying my best

Bartley: okay

Carly: you’ve always something to say to put me in the wrong

Bartley: that’s not what I said

Carly: it is

Bartley: It ain’t, don’t tell me what I said

Carly: I heard what you said

Bartley: yeah and how you interpret my words is on you and your brain

Carly: sure look its been a 1 minute since you could find fault w me & now here’s your 1st chance to be back calling us mental again

Carly: have ur fun, boy

Bartley: Jesus Christ

Bartley: whatever

🎲 ANON HERE omg i love ur hcs sm,, him pretending to be asleep is so true. hed be an overall tease in a relationship i know he loves being a little shit (but not too much cus hes soft for his s/o) hed do that thing where he keeps shit at the topmost shelf so you need to call him to help or hed totally get those fake bugs and put them in places youd see ALSO !!! the mangaka said hed be a model if he wasnt an assassin and i totally fuck w the idea of outfit shopping dates >>> likeee matching outfits?? buying things he thinks his s/o would look good in but never tell them the price.. I KNOOOOW he loves to spoil them like that ugh. alsoo.. maybe matching tattoos too....

I KNOW RIGHTT HE’S SUCH A LITTLE SHIT LMAO and i LITERALLY wanted to add what u said about him keeping things on the topmost shelf but i said to myself that it was too much already asugahiaj he’d also hide your stuffs around the house and you’ll always find it in obscure places (ex: toilet tank)

AAAAA BEING A MODEL DEFINITELY SUITS HIM i can’t believe it didn’t cross my mind before.. i totally fw ur idea too nonnie.. he’d buy you clothes without even seeing the pricetag UGHHHH like u kept asking him how much it cost but he genuinely doesn’t know for shit lmaoaoao “i just know it looks good on ya” and laughs and smirks and all those things.. SIGH… matching tattoos is a must! he’ll probably asked for it to be inked on some places you often kiss him. collarbone? shoulders for.. bites ;)

also he keeps a lighter if u smoke but he says ‘no’ when u ask if has a lighter and suddenly your cig has been lit up alr

🍓🎲🍬🦷 ?

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?

oh jeez... i had a pinterest account when I was 12 and that led me to making a tumblr bc that's where all the funny posts seemed to be coming from. this was peak doctorwholock phase and so I started reading sherlock and supernatural fanfiction on fanfiction.net, including the iconic My Immortal and the fanfic that's like HP but rewritten for christian children... and I think my first attempt at fanfic was for the wrath and the dawn, a niche YA series. i ran an incorrect quotes blog for that fandom for like a full year, posting every day. all i'm gonna say is stan twitter is not an aberration. there's something inherent to 12-14yo girls that makes them act like child soldiers for their favorite media.

🎲 ⇢ what stops you from writing more in your free time?

well the good news is I have so much free time now! in the fall I was having a very intense semester and in january I was studying abroad but now i've graduated college! so, funnily enough, the biggest issue now isn't having enough time, it's having enough mental energy for creative writing, because i'm also balancing it with a lot of resume and cover letter writing.

also sitting in a cafe with a latte and grilled cheese costs $. very tragic.

🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character

zuko is annoyinggg, there, I said it

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

the writing software scrivener is a fucking gamechanger. the author of great circle said thank you to it in the book's acknowledgements section. i got it this past spring or summer, I think, and it's so good at helping me organize / re-organize all my snippets and nonchronological scene spitballing. If i was still writing my current project in one big google doc I probably would have killed it a few months ago. so this is my shameless, unsponsored plug for scrivener. $50 ($40 for students) and you get it downloaded for life

the ask game

[atrophytohell]

🛼, 🎲, 🍦 & 🔪

No pressure….😈

tysm for the ask @vionetteinthedark!!

🛼 describe your latest WIP in five emojis

High Cost of Chaos is very: 🤑 🎲 🥲🥵🖐🏻(slapping Tom? lol)

and Liber Bestiarium: 👹 📖 ⁉️🤔😱

🎲 what stops you from writing more in your free time?

honestly many distractions that I struggle with! keeping focused when there's games within reach, TV shows etc, shows I need a dedicated writing space!

🍦 name three good things about a character you hate

going to a whole other fandom here and I'll say Prosecutor Sahdmadhi from Ace Attorney: his design is incredible, his theme is lovely, and I can't think of a third lmao cus I can't stand the guy!

🔪 what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

at the moment researching cryptids which is super fun! was always interested in them but getting to know about loads more I never heard of before
