Hello Sashi! I find your new event super interesting and I saw you are accepting requests from Bleach too? then could you please write some NSFW for Ichimaru Gin with fem! reader? Any prompt you could think of it's ok with me 🐍💗 Thank you

Hi honey!! sure!! This is the first time I write for Gin and let me tell you the one I'm posting is the FIFTH version of it 😂. Gin is a very important character to me as well as Rangiku, so it is kinda inspired on them! I hope you enjoy! 💖

👑 Oh, Royal Lust Event ~ Royals AU event.

𝖓𝖘𝖋𝖜 ~ 𝕴𝖈𝖍𝖎𝖒𝖆𝖗𝖚 𝕲𝖎𝖓 𝖝 𝕱! 𝕽𝖊𝖆𝖉𝖊𝖗 ~ 𝕽𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖒𝖇𝖊𝖗

tw: it looks as if it was a non con at first, but it isn't. Gin would never, he will ask for consent, don't fear. It's heavily inspired on the canon events and his relationship with Rangiku. Also, because Gin is a man who did everything for love does not mean he is a saint, he has a machiavelic idea of "the end justifies any means". And so, my take is that he would make you feel like you are trapped with him, because how can you leave a man who is willing to do as many things as he will do for you?. It's super lovely in fiction, but be careful when it comes to real life. Other than that, the make sweet love and there is also fingering and mental games.

Royal AU in Las Noches. Gin is a Prince. Aizen the King.

Waking up, his smile… His smile and eyes closed look at you.

Everything around is so white and sterile; a single window leads to an eternal night outside. “Where am I?... Who are you?” you mumble, feeling your arms and legs restrained. It’s cold, it makes your skin bumpy.

You lay over an aluminium litter, his smile is persistent and with his index he touches the tip of your nose.

You move your face away from his graze, he is not hurting you, but he is scary. Wearing the typical royal clothes, so white with a little sky-blue sash around his hipbones. Why is he looking at me with eyes closed?

“Please, don’t hurt me” you moan as you hear him giggling with a soft, melodic voice. “Are you that delicate the mere graze of my fingertip will hurt you?” he asks, now caressing your cheek with it. You fix your eyes on the window outside, trying to avoid look at the other side where he is.

A half moon shines bright on a dark, dark firmament. Could it be that I am inside the castle already? But what castle? I can’t remember!

Your head hurts from trying to remember, why… why are you here?

“You haven’t answered yet… are you that delicate?”

A cold shiver runs through your spine, why this man’s touch feel like a snake crawling on your flesh? It’s oppressive, it feels dangerous and asphyxiating… why am I here, after all?

His thumb also joins your face, moving your chin towards him. You blink several times, adjusting your eyes to the white color of bright lights. His silver hair reflects them, his pale skin too. Around, everything looks like a laboratory, maybe an infirmary.

“Apparently the cat’s got your tongue…” he says, smiling even bigger. He looks like a snake… a snake… “Prince Ichimaru?!” you suddenly chime, realizing the man next to you is no other than the youngest brother of King Aizen.

“Good, you at least recognize your superiors”

And it’s true, he is your superior, of course he is. You are just a commoner… but why were you here and why you are tied? You ponder asking him, but, what if you were captured for some reason you can’t remember?

He comes closer to your face, his nose and lips dangerously lingering over yours. What a handsome man he is. “Try not to move, you have a head injury” he informs you, but that still doesn’t solve the mystery of why you are here.

Prince Ichimaru walks away, and you listen him opening the tab. Water running, he is probably washing his hands.

“Thank you, My Prince… but can I ask why I am here?” you ask, once and for all. Your mind won’t let you live in peace, plus, you are probably a prisoner, so you have to know what to expect -besides dying-.

Gin, Gin Ichimaru. That’s his name. Prince Gin Ichimaru. He giggles, softly. A laughter shouldn’t be scary, oh but his it is. Acting like a sweet fox, but with words and actions of a snake. He is one of the most formidable princes after the King of Hueco Mundo.

He turns around, drying his hands with a little towel. His steps cannot be heard as if he was crawling instead of walking.

“You are here because you wanted to escape from my prison” he says, smirking. Your expression changes from confused to worried… prison? Why was I in prison?! “And because you wanted to, our guards caught you wandering through the halls of Las Noches. Were you looking for me?”

You gasp, you really can’t remember, why would you search for the prince? “I- My Prince, I seriously can’t remember!” you quickly try to excuse yourself, making the utmost effort to remember why you are a criminal.

“Why don’t you let me help your remember, (Name)?” he says, throwing the little towel on your eyes. Complete darkness, the sweet smell of a manly perfume invades your nose coming from the cloth.

You sudden feel wet lips, as soft as silk over your ear. You can hear him calmly breathe, and then a whispery giggle. You shiver, afraid but with an unstoppable heat growing in your lower belly. “You don’t remember you are mine, (Name)?”

“Yours?”

The sound of the big zipper of the white clothes you were wearing going down announces you are being undressed. You squirm, why is he undressing you? Why is he saying you are his?

“Stop, please!” you whine and plead.

Gin stops, you can feel your cleavage almost fully opened. “You really don’t remember me? You are mine, (Name)… You are one of my little fucktoys that live in the dungeons just for me to use” he whispers and proceeds to touch your neck and play with a little silver collar you have. “Who gave you this, hum? What do we do with this when you serve me?” he says, making no sense to you, because you are not buying the fact that you are just a mere “fuck toy”. This time he pulls from the chain of your collar and slowly chokes you.

You cough, the unexpected cold feeling of the collar pressing your throat cuts your airflow for some seconds. Sudden flashes of old memories come to your mind, and you can’t really process them. But there are crystal blue eyes, like the day sky, so beautiful yet so mysterious.

He keeps pulling, more and more. You can even feel the chain carving marks on your flesh and your head feels dizzy as lack of oxygen affects you.

“Do you remember already?” he asks, persistent and with even angst in his voice. “What colour are your eyes, my prince?” you inquire, trying to make him stop but also trying to understand if he is the one from your memories.

Gin stops pulling from the collar and breathes alleviated. “Let me help you remember, and I’ll show them to you” he urges, taking the towel off your face. “Would you, my beautiful servant?” he whispers, playing with his thumb over your lower lip.

You debate yourself in between saying no or yes, and it’s not that you are afraid for your life now… you might want him to show you why you are his…

“Yes, My Prince… help me remember why I am yours”

“Good girl…”

He takes the time to free himself from the white cape that covers his upper body. “See? You normally do this for me, but now I have to do it myself since you have to be restricted”

You wonder why you are, but soon your thoughts are cut short. Lean beautiful body flashes before you, his hakama pants covering just the centre part of his belly button down and the sides of his hips completely exposed to you.

You sigh, beautiful work of art of a man…

“Can I kiss your lips, (Name)?” he asks, coming closer slowly to you. The way his hipbones protrude and move while he walks it’s hypnotizing.

You nod, lips separated, in awe.

His smile, oh… his smile. His grin and his lips pressed against your lips. His tongue playing with yours, slowly, steadily, and painfully sexily.

Kissing you down your chin and neck, Gin proceeds to lower your zipper fully. It ends under your belly button, but for him seems to be enough for now. Your breasts free themselves from the tight white uniform covering them.

Your prince licks his lips, like a true snake. He pounces from the side over your right breast, the cold ambient make your nipples hard, hard enough for him to enjoy sucking them. And he does it so deathly. He has pretty sharp fangs that make you squirm when they graze your sensitive tissue.

You can’t help but moan, a melody that makes him go even feral. Cold fingers press and pull from the nipple he is not sucking, but never once you could see him open his eyes. It feels so good, but is he the man with the sky deep eyes of your memories?

“As always, so hard…” he mumbles, with lips around your already bitten breasts. Because he bites, he bites everywhere. He doesn’t stop, even if he got a little satisfied with sucking you out, and so he proceeds to the next movement.

He now stands in the feet of the litter. The biggest smirk yet, he shows you. Gin sucks his middle and ring fingertips. “I’m sure this will make you remember your prince, my sweet slut. In fact, I can assure you are not wearing panties right now… that’s one of my requirements too”

Lifting your skirt, he acknowledges the fact that he was right. And you gasp as he, violently, sticks his fingers inside you. “Gin…” you moan, when he goes madly in and out, in beckoning motions hitting the perfect spot inside your walls.

“Gin… Gin…” he laughs, destroying your insides by the strong pumping motions of his arm. You realized you have stopped calling him like “my Prince” but rather you are using his name. And he is not mad, in fact he is enjoying this.

Your legs want to close, but you can’t as they are tied to the sides of the bed. The white cold material used hurts your ankles, but you can’t stop moving. He won’t let you breath until you come just like he wants you to.

And you are certainly on the verge of such happening.

“Come” he commands, pressing your lower belly as he fingers you. You widen your eyes; he can order you and you seem to be programmed to comply. “I- I wi-“ you stutter, panting and sweating. Explosive orgasm bathes your clothes, the litter, and his forearm.

“My my… messy as always!” he says, so nonchalantly shaking his arm getting rid of your climax release. “So? Still don’t remember me? Or should I keep going?” he asks, sure you have recovered your memory a long time ago.

And the truth is, that even if you don’t remember why you are his servant, your body does. Your body needs more, more of him. You don’t care the reasons you are there, if your forehead is bleeding from the pressure of the past orgasm, you don’t really even care if he is really the man in your mind.

“Keep going… please”. “I wasn’t planning on stopping either way… remember, You. Are. Mine”

He unties the hakama cords, letting it fall to the ground. Your eyes travel right where the V of his abdominal muscles end, fair skin, and that little mark you can remember. You can remember when he got it done, that scar has been always fascinating to you… he is Gin, your Gin… you don’t need to see his eyes…

But still… why are you tied in this sterile room? Why are you hurt? Why you were a prisoner?

Gin crawls up on the metallic bed, moving in between your legs. He kisses your lips, caressing with utmost love and care your cheek. “My beautiful servant” he mumbles. You know you should ask why he is treating you like his servant, however you keep it quiet.

His hardness rests over your sex, he doesn’t penetrate you. He needs a moment, and so do you. You love this man; you love this man like nobody else in this world… then why you are being treated like this?

Whispering in your ear, so low, almost inaudible he tells you to please play along a little longer. “Please, don’t … don’t ask me, try to remember…” he says, untying your hands from the white cold restraints that were stopping you from touching him.

And you don’t ask, and you receive him trusting blindly in him and burying your nails in his back.

He stays still for some seconds, enjoying the warming compression of your walls, you enjoy the pleasant stretch of them. His skin does not feel cold any longer, it feels warm, caring, loving.

His chest separate from yours, arching his back. His arms bear the weight of his body over yours, and his hips begin to move. He is not smiling any longer, his lips separated, shaky breathing as he concentrates in pumping in and out of you. Every thrust pushes you a step closer to climax, a symphony creates with his moans mixed with yours.

Your hands slip from his back to his lean waist, accompanying the motion of his back and forth stabbing into you. “Gin…” you whisper, in between sighs and about to reach peak pleasure.

His ecstatic expression pauses when he hears you calling his name and after eternal seconds of himself fucking you so deep, his eyes open. Glorious icy irises fixed on yours, telling you everything you didn’t remember. The connection feels out of this world, as if old souls were joining back again after many centuries apart.

Both finish simultaneously, together like two halves joined in a whole unity. “I love you” he mouths, making sure his hair covers his face when he says so and then collapsing over your squirming, raptured body.

“I will wait for you, my prince; I will wait for you until you kill the King… I will wait in the dungeon like your faithful fucktoy. Kill him, Gin” you whisper into his ear. “I will wait, and I will do this as many times as needed to be able to touch your skin” you continue, taking a look at the camera in the corner of the room… because in Las Noches everything is under surveillance and you two know it too well.

And nobody, absolutely nobody could know Prince Gin will spear the false God’s heart… The false King that took so much from you, King Aizen ~

💞⚾ Noxy’s Tarlos Baseball Fic ⚾💞

Ship: Tarlos | Fandom: 911 Lone Star | Author: noxsoulmate | Read on ao3

Chapter: 1/2 | Word Count: 5390 | Rating: Explicit | Warnings/Tags: baseball, valentine's day, different first meeting, meet-cute, running into each other, coffee shops, farmers market, night clubs, hook-up, baseball player TK, baseball player Carlos, rivals, Red vs Blue (but not the episode), banter, sexual innuendos, flirting, teasing, basically Tarlos uses the baseball game as foreplay, and they don't hide it, implied sexual content, but TK has a dirty mind so the rating is explicit, making out, strangers to lovers, love at first sight | Art made by me

Summary:

The moment he spots him, he freezes. For just a tiny second, he wonders if all his thoughts of Carlos have summoned him. And then he takes in the man as a whole, attire and all – and his mind goes blank. Because Carlos is wearing a jersey as well. And it’s blue. Carlos is wearing the blue jersey… of APD.

~*~

Meet cutes are only meant for rom coms, right? So why is it that TK has a total of four of them with the same stranger in just one day? Besides, Valentine’s weekend is certainly not the right time for him to have his head in cloud nine – not when the annual Baseball game between Fire and Police is on the line. Apparently, Police hasn't lost in years thanks to their pitcher. But now Fire has TK on their team – a paramedic who had a chance to play in the major leagues...

This fic is finished, chapter two will be posted tomorrow.

The biggest, biggest thanks goes out to the amazing @lightningboltreader and @bonheur-cafe. These two spent the past few weeks explaining an American game that seems to have no rules to a European who had zero knowledge about it - and they did it in a way that said European was able to write a fic about it. I bow to you two! They also helped plot out every step of the game - Char, Dalawa, this fic truly wouldn't exist without your help, and for once, that's not just a phrase 😂

💞⚾ Read Chapter 1 on ao3 ⚾💞

Sneak peek under the cut:

TK knows better than to check his phone while walking. He actually has been dispatched to scenarios in which walking while looking at the phone had ended in tragedy in one way or another. So clearly, he should know better.

But that doesn’t stop him from answering Nancy’s text while he’s in the middle of the supermarket, walking along the cereal aisle. The moment he hits send, he’s reminded just why it is so bad to not look where you’re going.

The only thing he really registers is that he smacks into something solid, losing the grip on the few groceries wedged into his arm – because who needs a shopping cart or basket, right? Apparently, he does because right away, everything tumbles to the floor; the oranges roll away and for a split second, his heart stops when he fears the jar of honey will break, but it lands on the jug of milk first so the fall is softened, thankfully. The only thing he can catch is his phone – thank God – and with his heart pounding, an apology on his lips, he looks up.

Only to lose his breath again.

He’s staring into the warmest, softest brown eyes he has ever seen and while that should be a completely boring color for eyes, it certainly isn’t on this man. Those eyes are eyes he could stare into for days and still not get tired. And that isn’t even acknowledging the rest of this perfect face.

“I’m really sorry, are you alright?”

It takes TK a second to realize that the man just spoke – holy hell, what a voice – and he has to shake himself to get his head back online.

“No no, that was all my fault, I’m the one who’s sorry,” TK hastens to apologize before quickly kneeling down to pick up his stuff. The handsome stranger follows, crouching down to help with the oranges while TK starts rambling. “I was checking my phone. I know that’s something you shouldn’t do but my partner just messaged me and she sometimes gets impatient when it takes me too long to reply and I don’t want her to worry. She’s worried about me enough already and–” He looks up to see the man holding out another orange to him, a soft grin on his face. “Aaand I should stop talking. I’m sorry,” he adds one last time as he takes the last orange and stands back up.

Once again, the handsome man follows and for a second they stand and look at each other, frozen in the moment. Until TK remembers his manners.

“Are you okay? I ran right into you.”

“I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Also, all of my groceries are safely in a cart,” he adds with a little grin, definitely teasing TK, who huffs out a laugh.

“I only have a few things, no need to bother with a cart.”

“If you say so.”

TK wants to reply – wants to stay and spend hours talking and teasing with this man – but right then, his phone pings with a new message. His eyes fall to the screen.

“Well, uhm, sorry again for crashing into you,” he says with a little smile. “I need to get going.”

“Careful though. No need to run into someone else.”

For a wild second, TK wonders if the man means this in a flirty way. For an even wilder second, he wonders if he should just take a leap of faith and ask for the man’s number – but then he remembers that he’s living in Texas now – has been for over a year, in fact – and that in this place, he can’t just hit on random strangers even when his gaydar tries to convince him it would be okay. The risk of hitting on someone who will take it the wrong way is just too high. So, accepting defeat and the fact that he can’t just ask a random stranger for his number because it would sound weird and crazy and be potentially risky, TK simply smiles and nods.

“I’ll try my best.”

The whole long way down the cereal aisle, TK forces himself not to look back, not even once, not even when his senses try to convince him that someone’s staring at his back the entire time.

Written for the @tarlosweeklyprompts Valentine's Fic Exchange and my giftee @sugdenlovesdingle. The prompt was: TK and Carlos meeting via the police vs fire baseball game when they’re on opposing teams (bonus points for a grey’s anatomy-like thing where they hook up the night before without knowing who the other is and then seeing them at the game).

I've always wanted to write a coda for Red vs Blue - but this is even better. I'm a sucker for alternative first meetings, so this was just brilliant!

2022.02.11 sukekiyo 「jojo」 -suzaku no ma・space of vermillion bird-

I was so lucky to be able to go, I failed in the lottery but managed to get a ticket thanks to a friend♡

There wasn't a big queue for merchandise, I got the (tiny) merch ticket at 1:50 and my number was 31😂 I think past 2pm they just asked people to join the queue.

I got some merch including the talisman which is very cute but also tiny. Then I stamped my goshuin book.

The door time was 5pm, it's been a while since sukekiyo had a standing show so it felt quite different to come to the venue properly at the door time. Fans lined up according to their ticket numbers, ticket check was very smooth. My number was 150s so middle-ish. Concert was held at reduced venue capacity because of social distancing - there were marks on the floor and everyone was supposed to stand on top of one.

BGM was quite interesting, I can remember Die Antword - I fink you freeky, Serj Tankian - Lie Lie Lie, New Order - Blue Monday, and some Marlin Manson.

The extra sound effects we got were interesting as well - Shizuoka LIVE ROXY is located under the train tracks and we could hear and feel kind of rumble each time the train passed above.😂

They started on time, after the theater buzzer lights went completely off to switch to the dimmed lights on the stage. Yuchi, Takumi, Mika and utA came on stage soon followed by Kyo. Takumi still has his hair in braids and he had it up. He wore Candis outfit I think. Yuchi had a black MA1 jacket over the tour t-shirt. Mika had a black shirt? It was the hardest to see him behind the drum set! I think utA also wore Candis outfit? But his hair was down/not styled, but sooo shiny.

Kyo wore the new MADARANINGEN Foetation circle shirt, black trousers and suspenders. Kyo had orange hair, cut very short, with straight fringe and side shave. He also used orange color in his make up, using it on the sides of his face to frame it and strong eye make up (and apparently his nails were orange too?).

Let me remind you that the show subtitle was 朱雀・Vermillion bird🔥

I was standing between the 2nd set of pillars in the audience. It kind of at first felt like early sukekiyo shows because of how bad the view seemed. But compared to those shows the light was great! And I could see everyone at least shoulders up more often then not!😂

And as they started their set the older shows feeling went away very quickly - after a short session they played us all new songs! All 3 are amazing live, getting to hear them at a standing show was great 🎶dancing🎶 (ง ˙ω˙)ว

hemimetabolism was definitely a nice surprise! I haven't heard it live in while. The choice of songs and how they worked together was so good!

I love the faces utA makes during some songs😂 and the step/kick thing. And he was sometimes pointing at the audience as well.

Yuchi is (silently) singing so many songs😆 and he was headbanging and dancing as well.

I wish I could've seen Takumi and Mika better!

It's a small venue with a small stage so there was no back or front screen. But depending on the light on the stage sometimes I could see Kyo's reflection on the clear panel surrounding Mika's drum set😆

But despite the size of the venue, the sound quality was amazing (with the enhancing train rumble at quieter moments😆)

At sukekiyo shows we usually don't get much of proper eye contact with the audience, but today, with no screen and a much smaller venue than usual, it was different.

Kyo was 🔥, he was dancing, pointing at fans, 'pulling' us and so on.

I'm very curious if the setlist for Kameko (video fan girl) part of the tour will change, the remaining two shows will be seated ones. Tonight was absolutely amazing but I'm also really looking forward to the 2/16 one in Yokohama🧡

Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Chapter 59: Comments + JP-ENG translation differences

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!! CLAMP decided to let us have a little present on this special day, and release chapter 59 (currently on Bookwalker and Comic-days, but in a few hours it'll be up on Youtube too!).

And apparently...the present came from the English translation too! 😂 Cause for the first time in forever, I don't have to report any translation mistake or difference in particular. It seems pretty much everything that was said in this chapter is correct and respects the original script! 😂 ...I know, it's incredible, right? 🤣🤣🤣 EDIT 12/26: Turns out THERE IS ONE TRANSLATION MISTAKE, thanks to my bro @chibiyuuto who noticed it while reading the BR-PT and Spanish translations of the chapter, and asked me to confirm. I didn't notice because....Xmas celebrations, heheh 😅 I'll talk about it in the proper section of the post.

So without further ado! We have a certain Queen wanting to smack some Guardian's ass....😆 curious? Under the cut!

The color spread

After what it feels like an eternity, we get Sakura-chan all alone in a double spread again! And she's absolutely stunning, in her white and blue dress, featuring as usual elements of transparency 😊 I particularly liked her expression here. Also let's note how Mokona is equipping her with short heels more and more, as of lately! Our girl is growing up! 😁 The JP text over the spread reads: "Dreams, aspirations. Trust. Sakura-chan has always shown us a boundless excitement." and on the upper part we can see a very eloquent "(we'll be) Together with Sakura-chan in 2022 too". 😊

The Black Cat

Easy to guess (I had already imagined so), we get another snippet of the play's script at the beginning of this chapter too. By now, I've come to the conclusion that CLAMP is trying to let us know as many details about this play as possible, before reaching the climax, because we'll need all the insights we can get in order to understand the events that will likely happen during said play. As this play seems to be mirroring facts that are happening in the character's real lives, it seems important that we understand the story and the characters. And we'll probably won't even get to see the real thing, as I imagine shit is gonna go down pretty soon after the play started. So we find out how Alice met the mysterious black cat that lead her to another mysterious world in her dreams. She was walking down a street that she knew well, but somehow managed to get lost in it. She found such black cat, as if it was waiting for her, under a tree of the reddest roses, in a rose garden.

Wait, who met in a rose garden, which "was perfect for Alice to get lost in"...?

See that arch of roses? Yeah.

I have to say many elements of this part of the chapter reminded me of the first meeting between Kaito and Akiho, only with reversed roles. Alice seemed to know the Cat was waiting for her, to which he "meows" in confirmation, and she offers to bring him home with her. And surprisingly enough, the Cat already knows the way to Alice's home, and leads her back to it. Alice says "You're taking me home now, but one day I hope you'll take me to the world you want to show me".

We go back to the regular story, where Syaoran, Naoko, Chiharu and Yamazaki are all having lunch together and discussing about the play (Sakura, Akiho and Tomoyo are elsewhere, and in a moment you'll find out where that is). The kids discuss about what an important role the Cat has got in the story, not only taking Alice to the Other World, but also because he's a key figure to both Alice's lives. Naoko, at this point, basically tries to convince Syaoran to get his goddamned role of the Cat in the play again (😂), but he still insists in being a stagehand! 😂So Naoko finds the perfect loophole: how about Syaoran lends only his voice to the Cat, while they can depict it with a silhouette or using puppets? Our boy doesn't really have any other arguments left to counter this, after all, what's wrong with lending your *voice*? As long as you don't have to appear on stage 😂 And I loved that Naoko tried to bend her request to accomodate for Syaoran's comfort, because she really, really wants Syaoran to play this role (after all, she created it with him in mind), but she also understands his boundaries (and in fact, she says "if you're still not up for it, I'll stop badgering you"). Syaoran says that he'll give his voice to the Cat, but he also wants to still be a stagehand! That goes to show that Syaoran wasn't merely trying to avoid "duties" when he went on saying he wanted to be a stagehand! He wants to give his all, together with everyone else. What follows is a very refreshing and adorable scene of bonding with the other kids of his class+Chiharu, I didn't expect it at all but it was very, very welcome. Syaoran starts to deepen friendships that are different from the usual Sakura or Tomoyo, and that's so good!

Restarting from Scratch

Where are Sakura, Akiho and Tomoyo? But of course, they are in the fitting room trying on the costumes Tomoyo had started working on for the play! And as I expected, she's gonna make Akiho's costume too. I have to say, Akiho's dress looks really like something I would expect more for one of the Queens, than the other Alice. I wonder if that means anything at all? But it doesn't matter, as our goddess of the sewing machine decides to re-make both costumes from scratch. The two girls are confused, as the ones they're wearing seem just perfect, but Tomoyo isn't convinced at all, and although she prepared them with the play well in mind, she admits not taking into consideration enough the two girls' personalities. "What I want you two to wear is something pretty different (than this)". She promises to start working on them again after listening carefully to Yamazaki's song. In this scene we get to see how our Tomoyo wants to deliver the best final product, while including her friends more in the creating process. For once we don't see her perfectly crafted costumes being "right" on the first try, and I think that's very interesting, especially cause Tomoyo seems perfectly confident about making new ones! So even if the first try wasn't satisfactory, she still wants to strive for perfection and do her best for this important play!

A Queen appears

We change scene once again, back to the Kinomoto house... Kero and Suppy are discussing about the Book (Momo's white Book) and its relation to Clow Reed. What did he want to achieve with the power of that Book, and why didn't he succeed? What can that Book do? Kero admits that the time he and Yue spent with Clow can be defined "small" (probably if compared with how long he lived), so it's not like they can claim to know him very well. His personality has always been twisted and that attracted more and more enemies. There's a very hilarious scene in which the two mascot guardians compare Eriol to Clow, in terms of "twistedness", and Kero confesses that Eriol can be considered a softie, compared to Clow! 😂 (to which Suppy is utterly shocked!). Still, they end up wondering if the business Clow had with the Book might have had any influence on his decision to split his soul in two when he reincarnated. EDIT 12/26: This is where the only translation mistake of the chapter is found. As you can see below, the ENG translation made it seem like what happened with the Book had any influence on Clow splitting himself in Fujitaka and Eriol. But no. In the JP text there isn't any subject in this panel, so we have to look at the context. They were talking about Clow's personality, and how Eriol is only midly eccentric.

Usually when there isn't any subject in JP you have to infer it from the last topic. Since they were talking about Clow's messed up personality, THAT's the context. So the real meaning is "The fact that Clow split himself in 2 might have affected (how Eriol is just mildly messed up)". The Spanish translation shows the correct meaning of Kero's line. That's also why Suppy is shocked, because with his そんなに (sonna ni, "that much?") he's expressing that he understood the magnitude of Clow's warped personality 😂 So there's no relation between Momo's Book and any of the stuff that happened with Clow splitting in 2 reincarnations. This is important.

Kero knows something for sure: when Clow decided to do something, he did it (in this, we can see his relation to Syaoran 😊) so if not even the Book could achieve what he wanted, it either means it was the wrong tool, or it was something so impossible that not even Clow could do it. ... I know what you're all thinking, freaking out behind your screens...connections to TRC/Holic, anyone? 😂 I definitely was left with the impression that this link could be made stronger, in Clear Card. It's still early to tell, but I have a feeling about it. The "impossible thing" to achieve might have something to do with Yuuko, and her "condition".... Suppy, bless him, asks Kero "I wonder what can that Book do" and Kero makes the horrible mistake of replying "whatever it is...it ain't pretty" and THE GODDESS HERSELF appears in Sakura's room (where the Guardians are talking), scolding Kero for being so rude while talking about the Book! 😂😂😂 It starts a very funny quarrel about who's the rudest, especially since Momo trespassed without even asking permission 😂 and she retorts, very nonchalantly, that they can't complain if they leave the house unprotected, without a magic "lock" and with that faint barrier.... I kinda always knew that the first meeting between Momo and Kero wouldn't be unicorns and rainbows, and that she would call him out on his negligence when it comes to magical stuff!!! 🤣 But Momo's got an emergency going on. She knows that he knows. That "the boy" (you have NO IDEA how happy I was that they FINALLY got it right in the ENG translation!! "Ano ko" translated to "the boy" and not "that man"!!) surely realized that she's there with them, and soon will come to rewind time and make as if nothing ever happened at all. While she says this, her eyes are very sad. She's always wearing this expression veiled with sadness, when she talks about Kaito, especially if it's about the crazy plan he's working on. Because she also knows what effects it'll have on his health, and yet this is a choice, a choice that is his to make, so she can't stop him directly. Momo is fully aware of this. And so, in the last page of this chapter, she tells Kero and Suppy that before he goes to do that, there's something she wants to leave with them. Something that will stay. Notice the verb "leave" between brackets in the Japanese version...as to underline the importance of this "something" that Momo wants to leave with them.

Also, the text in Japanese featured on the last page says "Momo's strong will elude even Time magic". Yasssss. 😆 It's pretty confirmed that Momo is indeed trying to work around Kaito's plan, in order to stop this madness before it's too late (for him too), and if that requires her to push boundaries and "betray him" a second time, then she will. Nothing seems more important than this at the moment, and she's gonna use any method at her disposal.

Also, as my sister Dacquoise pointed out, the last page of this chapter is strongly reminiscent of the last page of chapter 57, with that same "halo" effect around Kaito.

I wonder if CLAMP are visually trying to convey something, here?

We're left with this "irritating" cliffhanger, even though we all knew it would happen, since this is the last chapter of the future volume 12, and we can officially say that Clear Card Arc alone has surpassed in length the previous two arcs. 😁

This chapter felt shorter and definitely quieter, save for the last pages where Momo shocks everyone by appearing unannounced in Sakura's room, before Kero and Suppy! 😂 I seriously can't wait to find out the continuation of this, and see what she wants to leave with the two Guardians. Also, I dread and at the same time want to see how Kaito will react to all of this, and if there's going to be another Mother/Son confrontation about his crazy plan, and his feelings.

But I'm afraid that will take quite some time, since the next issue will bring us a short special chapter once again (I wonder who will appear?? Thoughts??). And then we don't know if we'll be immediately back with the regular schedule or what. Edit: the next release dates have been announced! Next issue with the special short is gonna be out on February 1st on Youtube, Comic-days (JP and other languages) That means Comixology will have its English version up on January 31st, on Bookwalker and its own website. Nakayoshi will feature said special short on its release, on February 3rd. Chapter 60 will be back on March 1st, on Youtube, in many languages, and supposedly that will mean it'll be available on Comixology and Bookwalker on February 28th.

For the moment, I'll leave you here (because I'm sleepy and I managed to stay up really late even tonight 😂), but I'll gladly wait for your asks about this chapter!

See you!!

DNP Rewatch: Trying To Cut My Own Hair

Date video was published: 05/27/2020 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 415

When this video got posted, you just knew it was going to be chaos. His hair was apparently really starting to annoy him. He teased this video with a picture earlier the same day he posted it.

0:01 - that is an old shirt he pulled back out! it + the blue/black hair are making his eyes (even if regretful) look very blue

0:19 - yeah he talked about needing a haircut over a month before this

0:24 - you can already tell he has a ton of hair just from him putting his fingers in it like that

0:33 - he never really talked about why he decided to go with brown hair for a while and then back to black at this point

0:39 - I like this color for him

0:50 - I think he was very afraid of it looking like his uni hair again 😂

0:57 - first Seth mention on his channel

1:04 - OH GOD. it could have been even worse

1:18 - sometimes I think Phil chooses products just because there’s a hot guy on the box

1:26 - already dangerous and he hasn’t even started yet

1:47 - how did he think this was going to work when he needed his own arms

1:56 - at least he brought in a mirror and didn’t attempt to just do it with the monitor

2:00 - describing a haircut as a “crafting project” is not a great start. also the music and zoom in on the painting is peak comedy

2:09 - I feel like he probably should have at least read the instruction book

2:17 - potentially the single good decision he made

2:23 - I really can’t believe he decided to do this on camera. I’m sure he was actually very anxious about it

2:51 - actually not a bad start

3:00 - he really should have stuck with the longer length thing for longer 😨

3:16 - beginning to see what Phil’s goals for this were

3:29 - it does seem like a lot of hair is falling

3:39 - oh yikes already. I don’t know how he managed to do that

3:54 - the high-pitched “what is THAT?!” sounded almost exactly like Dan. something one of them has picked up from the other over the years

4:01 - I can’t believe he just went straight in on the back there

4:09 - he really needed to watch a tutorial or something about how to blend it

4:22 - I mean...it’s not easy on your own hair for sure so I don’t think he can be blamed entirely

4:30 - the moment he thought the thinning scissors would solve everything 😂

4:56 - “a disaster to just kind of bad” the bar is low

5:04 - HOW 😱 I think I would have checked which scissors I was holding about 10 times

5:16 - there is no actual method involved here

5:37 - whyyyyy would you go down to that short of a guard

5:50 - oh Phil. too late for a lot of things here

6:09 - he really just did have to resign himself to disaster at this point. I mean hair does grow back so I guess he knew he could temporarily deal with whatever happened

6:19 - he almost just cut a giant random chunk there 😨

6:23 - good choice

6:37 - nooooooooo 😱 just snipping from the top seems like the worst idea

6:48 - ahhhhhhhhhh THAT WON’T HELP

6:57 - well he did observe someone who actually knew what they were doing at some point

7:10 - I don’t know about that precariously balanced set up

7:27 - he is really just going for it and not paying attention at all to how high he’s going

7:30 - would love to know what went through his mind when he saw how it actually looked in editing

7:35 - it might have been easier for him to see what he was doing if he had left it brown to cut it

7:40 - lmao optimistic Phil 😂

7:45 - he cares about the quiff much more than the rest of it

7:50 - return of emo Phil!

8:01 - already very uneven

8:21 - he is so stressed about this bit

8:47 - he did not take much of the quiff length off

8:49 - so much hair on the floor there

8:58 - not sure what the worst bit is but it might be that

9:03 - ...or that

9:10 - ...or maybe that 😂 overall rating: yikes

9:33 - well at least it feels better for him

9:39 - he tried. it does look...okay...from a distance on camera

9:45 - I think this would convince more people to NOT try this

10:09 - no “soon” or “very soon” at the end of this one

Love it. And another video where at some points I just want to yell ‘nooooo’ at Phil through the screen. They did say in Something we want to tell you that Dan helped him fix it a bit afterwards...it definitely needed it, lol. Also this ended up in the YouTube ‘how to’ category 😂

This starts a sequence of five absolutely fantastic Phil videos; some of my absolute favorites from the last few years.

In this bit of chapter 111 after Shirayuki's gone off with Eisetsu in the garden, I wonder if Obi is thinking about the situation with Eisetsu or the 10 second stare that just occurred.

I don’t know if this has been picked up on before, but I am losing my mind over it so I want to share my journey with you. May I present my descent into: Zen’s Algae Report.

It all started when I paused the beginning of episode 14 to see what Zen was writing about and was amazed and highly entertained to find that it seemed to be a report on, of all things, aquatic algae.

This naturally piqued my interest, so, being a loveable-yet-rather-obsessive-scamp with a passion for words and too much time on my hands, I set to work attempting to transcribe what he wrote in that brief scene.

In the transcription I put hyphens (---) wherever the next part was not visible and put asterisks around words I believed to have figured out, though they were partially obscured (Zen’s hand moves in the scene so more words were revealed). Multiple asterisks just mean I have a note about it at the end. 👍

"--- erie could experience one --- severe harmful** algal bloom --- a potential measure of 8.7 on --- the severity index, according --- oceanographic institution.

--- which have different colors *and textures*. Blooms can appear in a variety of colors that depend on the algal species. The aquatic ecosystem and organism --- cyanobacterial blooms, the formal name for the blue-green algae, are the problem here. Their presence means cities and local governments must *spend more* to --- water, puts swimmers in *high concentration*”.***

**this was written as one word - 'severeharmful' - and had me stumped for a while :') I like the thought of this word existing in the ans-verse and the characters using it :D

***after spending too much time rewinding and pausing to see parts of words as zen's hand moves to reveal them, I could make out 'hi --- oncentrat'. I believe it's meant to say 'high concentration' but WHO KNOWS

It was only AFTER typing all this that I found out The Truth.

The first half-word that was at the top of the page was bugging me because I couldn’t figure out the letters. So, being the loveable-yet-slightly-perfectionistic-scamp that I am, I racked my brains over it until I realised it could read as “-ake”. The following word, “erie,” hadn’t made sense at all, so I couldn’t see how I could use it to try to figure out what this “-ake” word before it could be. I decided to google the word “erie” in case it did mean something that I was unaware of. And guess what I found?

“Lake Erie” is apparently the fourth-largest lake (by surface area) of the five Great Lakes in North America. This may be common knowledge to Americans(?) but as a loveable-yet-entirely-European-scamp this was news to me. I was obviously thrilled as this worked for both words and made sense, but I was also surprised that Zen appeared to be writing about a very real, and not ans-verse, American lake. 🤔

I wanted to see just how much of His Algae-Loving Highness Zen’s report was true, so I searched for “lake erie cyanobacterial algae”

Something I love in ANS is that Shirayuki wears the things gifted to her, and not just as a one-time thing; ever since being given earrings by Yuzuri she regularly wears them, and the hair ornament that Obi gave her she wore for the majority of her Tanbarun stay, and then she mentions how she wears it as a good luck charm and was distressed when she left it behind after going travelling. (I think she also wore it at another fancy occasion but I don’t remember which). When Ryuu and Obi get her a new hair ornament she wears it almost immediately.

I like how these gifts are not just used as something to move a scene along, they are significant to Shirayuki and mark progression in her relationships.

Also! You can see how much she treasures them just by the fact that she continually wears them, no comment needed, no close-up necessary. (Apart from the first time Obi noticed she was wearing his gift, then we had a zoom and an OMG moment from him, understandable, Obi)
