to distract myself from the distressing chapter update I drew mob and ritz in thier new getup

Ok new game. What's the thing you're a fan of that you're the most pretentious about. NOT the most pretentious thing you're a fan of, I mean the thing that makes *you* act like one of those "oh yeah? Name five of their albums" people. There is a difference

Day 3 Mob matching Teru

fuck. i'm still thinking about those bandanas. that was the kindest present anyone's ever given me. because like. THere was no obligation to do that!!! No obligation of familial relationship or party attendance or secret santa. Just. A bag sat on my desk in my third period spanish class. My teacher excitedly saying someone left something for me. Doubt. For me? Are you sure? The name on the tag is not mine. It could be a misspelling (nobody ever spells or says it right), but no, surely it's for the far more popular girl in the class whose name is almost like mine, spelled this way instead of the way no one remembers. This is for her, not me, and I almost want to cry because my spanish teacher is still watching me, the only other person in the room because i always get there early, because i have no one to talk to in the halls, and she's watching me and telling me to look inside. and i do, just to prove that it's not for me. that it's something for a popular girl and not for me.

but it's bandanas. 5 new, cotton bandanas. in dull colors. colors i like, colors that match what i wear, though maybe that part is a happy accident. and. nobody else in the entire school wears bandanas.

they were for me.

i was too shocked to ask my spanish teacher who left them. i didn't think to until much later, until it would have been awkward to ask. i wish that i had asked. years later, i thought to wonder if maybe it was her. but maybe it was the boy in the next seat, who was friendly, even if i didn't think of him as a friend. or the one person i did think of as a friend. or the counselor's daughter who was maybe my friend once, whose kindness always outlasted my pessimism.

but maybe it's better not knowing. my middle school sold carnations for students to give to each other on valentine's day. i got one anonymously and it felt good, special. until i heard later that some teachers had pitched in to send anonymous carnations to students they knew wouldn't get any otherwise.

the bandanas were a kindness. and an easy gift, maybe, since i wore bandanas every day (threadbare, sunstained bandanas i found in bags of my parents' old clothes 5 months earlier). but an unnecessary gift, not even faintly tied to any social rule, to any obligation. a distinctive gift, that could only have been for me. and maybe it's a kindness too, that i never found out if it was pity or friendliness or a crush or just. just plain kindness. that motivated that gift. that gift that i treasure above all others even a decade later.

it's so weird to me that everyone on this website is a human person outside of their weird internet niche so rb this with a random bit of your lore

[wishlikes]

you know my anemia was probably kind of serious considering they immediately scheduled me for iv therapy instead of just. telling me to eat more meat or take supplements or whatever (both things i've been doing since, bc i do NOt want iv therapy again)

but it will never not be funny to me

it has been almost 2 years and it is still so so funny to say that i had no blood or that i had 3 iron or whatever

[wishlikes]

i Really hope it snows a lot this year. i want to see what it's like to build a snowman now that i Have Blood :D

[wishlikes]

I think I get it now.

[11/02/24] HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOYAMA!!!! I like to think he started up that ramen shop eventually :]

Hey, I wanna talk about how we do fandom! I've come to realize that I, personally, tend to differ from many others in that I highly prefer to only engage with a text as it's written, so I don't tend to really like fanon/extremely ooc characterizations and I find it hard to get invested in ships that aren't canon. My way of doing fandom isn't better or worse than anyone else's, but I am curious about how much of a minority I'm in! So:

*We've all seen ships of characters not from the same media and stuff like shipping the concept of ennui with the color blue, okay, I'm asking what you, personally, find compelling!

Day 30 of Mobtober: 🌻 Emotions 🩷

While I love when the Mob goes PsychoTM, I think there’s something really beautiful about being able to experience joy at being your full self and not feeling like everything will explode for doing so.

[alt version below the cut]

I’ve received a CRAZY amount of support this month, so thank y’all for being on this ride with me! This show means a ton to me, and I’m excited to make more stuff in the future :)
