I'M BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!! Okay so honestly I have been very very inconsistent over the years with just disappearing for periods of time due to various things 😂 So it probably seemed pretty normal to most people.
But it felt different on my side, so I'm excited to be back in business. I took a month long hiatus! 31 days of not drawing digital art. Its not something I talk about on here? But I've been suffering from some serious long term Art Burnout for.... a really really long time. Long enough that I should've taken a break probably years ago. It finally got so bad that I could barely draw. I was scared to do it (cause it always looked "bad" in my eyes [i'll come back to that]) and doing it was exhausting and disheartening.
I talked it over with somebody and realized that the fear and anger and frustration I felt towards my own artwork was uh. Not Normal or Healthy. And I finally committed to taking a real break for once.
I still drew a little bit by hand? Traditional art has always felt like it has lower stakes for me (i don't often share it online, and sometimes I don't even share it with friends) so I did some of that when I felt like it. But Digital art was completely off the table.
I had put such an immense pressure on myself to make my digital art perfect, to make as much of it as quickly as possible to satisfy something. It wasn't fun anymore. I'm proud of what i've made over the years! But for a long time now the stuff I've been making was made while hating every second of making it. With some rare exceptions.
I hated my art! It was a combination of Perfectionism, taking in too many external expectations, and the burnout. If you hate doing something its kinda hard to love it even when you want too lol. It wasn't "Bad" in the sense that the quality was low and it was ugly! It was "Bad" in the sense that it was unhealthy for me to keep doing it at that point in time.
I'm glad to report though, that with my hiatus officially over as of Wednesday last week: I am once again. In Love. With doing art, and being an artist :)
I put off taking a break for years cause I was scared that taking a break would mean that I would never achieve all the things I wanted to do with art. I was scared it was a stupid and lazy thing to do that would mean I'd never achieve my dreams. And Also even though I kinda hated drawing, I also loved making art. Its a weird duality that I can't even really explain??? I hated it but I also loved it. I wanted it but I also wanted to run from it. It wasn't until I was more mature and had more clarity and insight (and unfortunately also until the problems got worse) that I was finally able to let go of those fears and just do it.
And I'm really really glad I did. It was everything I needed. And I hope to strike a better balance in the future with art. Taking more breaks when I need them, or just when other things have my attention like reading or Video games (Some star rail got played during this time xD)
From the outside things probably aren't going to be that different?? At this point I don't really have any sure plans to post anything I've been drawing since my Hiatus ended. I might or I might not xD I'm still a hobbyist artist taking things at her own pace, but I hope that it shows how much happier I am :)
Whumptober 2023 is being officially put to rest by this post btw! I was in major burnout when that event started, and I'm ready to just, move on from all the past expectations I'd shoved on my shoulders. If I feel like filling any of the prompts or going back to any of the ideas I'd come up for it I will! But I'm not going to worry about doing it unless the desire sets in. Thanks to everybody who's been so kind to me throughout my time on here as an artist! Ya'lls tags and screaming and kind words, the fanfic, the asks and the responses? Its been fantastic :) You guys have made me laugh, smile, and cry tears of joy. I hope from here that things only get better and sweeter! And if I have bad days again, that's okay too.
Here's to 2024 and whatever it may bring ya'll :D 🎉🎉✨✨🧡💜

pre release boothill relationship headcanons!!!
a/n: I'm fiending off crumbs... I've wanted to read some x reader of him but theres none so I gotta write it myself. I hope the other 4 boothill fans enjoy
warnings: gn!reader, like 2 gendered pet names (pretty girl/boy), most of this is written with bias because we don't have alot to go off, obviously written prerelease, when we actually get content of him I'll definitely be rewriting
LEAKS AHEAD!!!
bc: Valentine_DD_ on twt
Tumblr media
- Boothill is described as a righteous person if his bottom line doesn't get crossed, so he definitely treats you good. probably more on the protective side when it comes to you, he's probably not afraid to use his gun if someone is threatening you.
- and believe me he's intimidating. from his overall tough and "unruly" cowboy look to his mechanical body it leaves enemies just a little challenged. he lowers his voice too and probably has a more fierce look in his eyes too. after any threats have been delt with he probably turns to you and turns into the sweetest thing ever, a wide grin across his face and his hands on your cheeks peppering you with small kisses.
- Its said he's a bit sophisticated due to his experiences so I'd like to imagine sometimes he charms you with facts and details about other planets or just genuinely sharing some tips and tricks he's picked up from other cultures. he's also a person who can get along with others pretty well but he can easily give strangers an impression he's selfish and is a bad person.
- again this kinda feeds into he's basically you'd guard dog... but I mean who wouldn't want to be saved by a handsome and sweet cowboy. despite his unpredictable personality and looks he's a huge gentleman for sure. always opens doors and pulls out chairs for you, makes sure your behind him and okay if any danger approaches and practically listens to your every command (lowkey giving off my girl and I don't argue she tells me to shut up and I do)
- one part I'm so excited to see is what they mean by he's illiterate and using metaphors. it's probably just him using slang but it's still kinda cute. I feel like his cheesy and strange metaphors turn into pick up lines when talking to you. perhaps he'll pull a "did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" or something cheesier. Definitely a huge nickname guy, almost never uses your real name. I'm guessing he'd use stuff like doll, sugar, baby, pretty girl/boy and more teasing names. heavy on doll and sugar and just imagine him saying it in a deep southern accent... 😍 kicking my feet. also I imagine he loves making you giggle by not cursing (because he literally cant) and normally he'd get pissed if someone laughed at him like that if it's you he doesn't mind at all.
- that's pretty much it for like analyzing the leaks I saw but now the stuff up ahead is just bias yapping because I always project
- HE DEFINITELY IS A HAND KISSER. greets you by getting on one knee, holding his hat to his chest and kissing your hand. makes eye contact with you too and does that toothy smirk of his IM SWOONINGGG
- maybe he's a dancer! pulls you into his arms and places his hat on your head when a good song plays in taverns. even if your clueless on any type of dances then he'll pull you along to the beat whispering Instructions in your ear.
- gets so lovesick when drunk it drives everyone mad. any folks he's sitting with at a bar gets a whole speech on his wonderful beautiful darling who he owes his live and would happily die by their hand. and may God save you when you come pick him up because he'll be all over you. Immediately he wraps a arm around your waist as he slurrs his hello as he proceeds to tell you he loves you like 40 times. besides the mass amounts of kisses you'll receive once you both reach a private spot he let's some feelings that he might be too shy to share normally, holding your face as he calls you his pretty girl/boy and how he's so lucky to have you.
- honestly not the best for cuddling however unfortunately he needs to cuddle you to sleep so goodluck! his metal body isn't completely uncomfortable it's just cold alot. he tries to get around this by literally preheating himself with blankets before you go to bed.
very bad boothill brainrot atm... only a few more weeks until we get official content 😭 everyone hold hands we got this
Tumblr media
here's the actual leaks if anyone is curious ^_^

I don't know if someone has already requested this, but can I request the first years with GN!Reader who always falls asleep in weird places like on a tree branch, in the closet, under the table, or in the middle of the field, etc.? So the boys have to carry them back to Ramshackle Dorm.
Tumblr media
ace trappola
at first, he was confused and even shocked at your strange ability to feel comfortable enough to sleep practically anywhere but of course it turns into him snickering and laughing whenever he catches you. he'd nudge deuce and tell him you're doing it again. he seriously could've died laughing and had to hold it in when he saw riddles frustrated and confused expression when you were passed out asleep underneath a table after an unbirthday party.
it comes to a point where he doesn't seem fazed or concerned if you're missing from class or something- he'd probably shake his head playfully and think you're just off sleeping somewhere unusual. he'd go off to find you most of the time. doesn't know how to wake you up, he's a, (loving) ass but he likes to stack random things on you either until you wake up or it falls. he's gotten in trouble multiple times for which in class. he'll call you a "sleepyhead" and sometimes tries to fool you and tell you you've slept through the whole day-!
much to his surprise,,, during an instance where you're just too hazy and too tired to be fully there. he groans and resorts to helping you back to ramshackle having you lazily use him as some support when walking back together. he'd tease and tell you you're lazy- but ace has never left your side when it's getting late, and he needs to wake you up or help you get back to ramshackle with the help of deuce.
deuce spade
ok not going to lie he's a little concerned. he's literally wondering how you manage to remain perfectly fine and unharmed when you somehow fall asleep int he most inconvenient and even dangerous spots. he's usually nervous and has a look of worriedness for you. deuce literally never felt more confused and SCARED when you fell asleep once inside the alchemy room... it's just waiting for disaster with mishaps in there.
deuce felt unsure if he should wake you up half of the time and when he does try it's too light of shaking or too quiet of talking to do anything. around that time ace or grim try suggesting splashing water on your face. he'd immediately figure out how to wake you up as soon as they mention that.
the time when he visited ramshackle and found you curled up in front of the steps asleep (doesnt matter how many times he's used to this he still is freaked out a bit akjshjhksk) he'll probably end up asking the ghosts for help in getting you back inside... it's almost dark too! he worries at the thought if he hadn't come over. doesn't really scold you but nervously does try to remind you to be more careful-! the last thing he wants is for you to end up getting hurt yourself because of this unique quirk of yours.
jack howl
the first time he witnessed this was an... experience, he was in the middle of track, and you were just sprawled out laying in the grass in a sunny spot. at first, he thought you were resting maybe... not actually fully asleep. he kinda just stares and tries to figure out in his head only for grim to tell him "...ya this is normal for them".
jack gets concerned like deuce and genuinely doesn't know what to do. he wants to help you but not abruptly wake you up. so, in other times where he finds you doing it again and again- he gets kind of used to it by now and doesn't seem to question it. he silently does make sure you're fine. like that one time you were peacefully asleep on a bleacher, and he quickly had to catch and stop you before you quite literally ROLLED off. you have this poor guy sweating.
though, in another time when its getting late and knows you should be back at ramshackle, he huffs and prompts to bringing you back there himself - a little annoyed by grim's snicker and climbing onto his shoulder but he does seem to make sure to look out for you. jack just prays you don't wake up, so you won't have something to tease him about later on...
epel felmier
epel silently stared for a few seconds in shock, letting himself slip cursing slightly in confusion. he regains his composure and doesn't bother waking you up if you seem- alright? he seemed to tell ace and deuce about it and they were already used to this, ace only laughed.
he panicked slightly as he found you sleeping on the floor in pomefiore once- vil would not be impressed or happy to see that and give you and probably him some small lecture. or when he found you sleeping on the steps inside the school?? does your back not feel pain?? those are times he'd actually try to wake you up, even if it took him a few attempts.
he does take it upon himself to help you get back to ramshackle, when you're not too far from it yet still managed to fall asleep right by the gate. he found grim complaining and trying to wake you up, with no luck with his paws. like ace would, grim would have you lean on him groggy and tried and he'd help bring you to ramshackle, sighing but he started to even laugh at the whole ridiculousness of it all when he's telling you to be more careful outside.
sebek zigvolt
initially, he didn't even notice you fall asleep as he loudly going on about something. he was a little shocked at first but quickly didn't hesitate to wake you up, claiming with his booming voice that it was improper at school and dangerous...! "and i thought silvers sleeping habits were terrible...!"
he is a knight (in training) and is keen with good senses and quick reactions- so like with jack, if you're literally about to fall or roll in your sleep when your off asleep in some crazy spot he'll swiftly move and stop you. grumbling how unusual it is. and he would never admit it, but you did once startle him when he found you sleeping in a tucked area, he literally reached for his magic pen. would die if you found out and deny it profusely.
it doesn't matter with all the scolding... sebek does help you. and like all the other times wouldn't dare to admit it and his slight soft spot for you. after a few failed attempts at waking, you he'd make sure you get to ramshackle himself, which is no sweat for someone like him. he couldn't believe you were sleeping outside for so long it was starting to rain!

I saw "a soft and unsure kiss" and immediately thought of Bayverse Leonardo. Maybe the kiss gets a little more sure/desperate as it develops? (If yanno what I mean *wink-wonk*)
Ooooooooh I'm picking up what you're putting down anon 😏
Bay!Leo x Fem!reader
Breaking Point
Warnings: leo and reader are over 18. Don't be weird. Tension, kissing in the dojo 🫢, spelling mistakes, pinning the other down, smootching, I went a bit ham, sorry I just love kissing leo,
Tumblr media
Leo never thought getting a new sparing partner would be a bad thing.
After years of fighting his brothers, his father had no some reason, allowed you to join the training sessions.
You, a long-time friend of the turtles, had sat in on many, many sparing sessions. Always sitting on the sidelines, bouncing with energy of wanting to try.
But the boys never let you. It was too dangerous, given you didn't have the training like they did.
So you took matters into your own hands. You and April became gym buddies, going a few times a week, learning and building up muscles to prove your testosterone driven friends wrong.
Then you enlisted Raphs help with some exercises, and before long, you went to Splinter and asked the all-important quiestion.
Which was now three weeks ago, and it was the worst best weeks of his life.
When he first met you, Leo was drawn to you. You were smart, brave, and so determined. You cared so much about him and his family, and he fell head over heels for you.
So now he was screwed. Very screwed.
His brothers never really cared for sparing, choosing to go do their own things after training ended and Splinter went off to meditate.
Which meant another hour....alone in the dojo....with you.
The hot, sweaty, cramped dojo where Leo was certain your cropped top kept getting smaller and smaller.
It was a simple white V-neck shirt, but whenever you lifted your arms above your head, he saw the underside of your sports bra peeking out. And sweat that dribbled from your temple went down your neck. And he could see its whole trail as it disappeared down your chest.
Get yourself together, Leo!
He shook his head, turning away from you to continue stretching.
"So, how was it?" Your shadow casted over his shoulder. He tensed, looking up at you, illuminated by the ceiling light.
"How was what?" God, his mouth was so dry.
"The training!" You bounced on your feet, playfully punching his shoulder. "Raph said I'm really getting better, and I'm not as worn out as I normally am! That means I'm getting better...." as he continued to stare blankly up at you from the floor, your confidence wavered. "....I am getting better, right?"
His heart fluttered. You were looking to him for reassurance.
He shot up, towering over you, trying not to stare at the blush on your neck and chest. "Yes! Yeah, you're doing awesome."
You smiled in return.
"It's nice actually having a sparing partner who wants to be here, the others are kinda just over it," Leo kept talking, rubbing his sweaty palms on his sweatpants.
"Yeah, it's fun!" You always had a lot of energy. It's one of the reasons you got along so well with Mikey. It was also why the rule existed that you and Mikey will not be left alone unsupervised.
Leo then realized that it had been the extra hour, and you would return to the surface. And today, he felt a strange feeling come over him.
"Wanna go again?" He panted. You looked up, thought about it, then smiled.
"Sure, why not?" You shrugged. "I have no other plans today."
It started off with simple moves and blocks, Leo couldn't really spar with you out of fear of hurting you, but he could push you around.
You, on the other hand, had to use almost all your strength just to...to well do anything to him.
But the others had let you in on a few secrets about their brothers sparring patterns.
Leo turned slightly away from you. You moved your leg, hooking it around his ankle and pulling your leg back.
He yelled, losing his balance, arms flailing. You grabbed his wrists, using your knee, pressed into his side, and you pushed him to the floor. Your hands pressing his wrists beside his head, you practically sitting on his chest.
Breathing heavy, you looked at each other. Faces inches apart, chests heaving. Suddenly, the red flush on your skin wasn't from excersion.
Realizing what exactly was happening, you lessened your grip on his wrists.
"Sorry...I-" you cut yourself off, unsure of what to do. You know you should move, but did you want to?
He licked his lips, eyes wide, and craned his neck up. Leaning down, your lips met.
Unlike the....steamy....dreams you'd had about the brave leader in blue, your first kiss wasn't hard and firm.
But soft, like a summer breeze or a feather. He was so tense under you, clearly waiting for you to pull away and smack him.
Bless him, he was so nervous.
Pulling away, you smile down at him. "If that was supposed to convince me to throw this round, it didn't work,"
"You drive me insane," He growled, biting at your bottom lip before taking your lips in a firmer, more confident kiss.
"Is that such a bad thing?" You mumbled against his lips. Your hands let go of his wrists, cupping his face and deepening the kiss.
His hands grabbed your wrists, thumb rubbing your pulse point.
"It wouldn't have to be." Leo panted, pulling away and giving you the most honest and sincere face you'd ever seen from him. "If you were mine,"
"Good, thing I already am," You kissed him hard, biting his lip, making him groan as you slipped your tongue into his mouth.
In a calculated move, you were rolled over onto your back, Leo hovering over you. Spreading your legs, he nestled himself between them, laying on his forearms, pulling you as close as humanly possible.
You ran your hands up and down his sides, making him shiver.
His tongue led the dance, moving and pushing against your own, making you moan softly against him.
The room felt even hotter and cramped now, with him using just enough of his weight to keep you pressed to the floor.
He pulled away, sucking down air, then peppered your jaw and neck with kisses.
And even though it was fantastic, you could still feel Leo holding back. You kissed his neck, going up his jaw. Speaking softly, you felt his body shiver.
"Can't believe Mr. Honor Boy himself would defile the dojo in such a way,"
He pulled away, one hand grabbing your hair and pulling your head back to expose your neck.
He bit in the flesh, leaving little marks. "If you think this is bad, waiting till I have you in my room,"

A bit about the reject Bhaal breakup
1. On the technical side: It's been in the datamine for ages, but it's only *supposedly* fixed last patch and fixed for real this hotfix 21. I remember getting an ask about the datamined breakup dialogue last year on November. I'm pretty sure that she threatens a breakup with Durge beforehand too and it was never bugged. I need to double check to determine its first appearance, but I'm 100% sure it isn't newly written content like the ultimatum.
2. On the writing side: Very contradictory to "Bhaal, Lolth, they don't have worshpper, they only have victims", abandoned by two gods Minthara. The breakup dialogue itself offers very surface level reasoning (and quite emotionally charged, she's pretty angry). I expect to hear more from a character as pragmatic and insightful as Minthara.
If this is the direction that the writers want to take, then more dialogue afterwards could tremendously help to "sell" this dialogue to us player (because right now, from what I've seen, most of us doesn't feel this is consistent to her character), which brings me to my next point
3. Currently, there are no subsequent dialogue on this topic. Surely we should be able to talk to her about that? Possibly turn things around, have a little bit of reflection when things calm down (as opposed to the very eventful temple that day with freshly dead Orin - Minthara's former tormentor, dead and resurrected Durge, loss of power and grace from a god (again), etc...) Feels strange to just drop a bombshell like that and leave it as is.
4. I'm pretty sure currently there is a reject Bhaal, romanced Minthara variant ending dialogue. What would happen to it now that this breakup exists?
Anyway, it's just kinda messy right now. Minthara still doesn't have a normal breakup dialogue nor decor for her Elfsong Tavern bed. It will be a while until her character's content (writing and otherwise) is at the final stage. This is defo not the end of it so don't fret (too much) lol.

HGSN 25-1
Chapter (Japanese)
(Please hit the green thumbs up at the end of the chapter to show support)
Rough translation by me
P1
Folktale: The Farmer's Head
A long long time ago, there was a greedy farmer and a kind farmer who went to the mountain to forage for food.
There, the greedy farmer found a big mushroom.
"This one is all mine!" said the greedy farmer.
Trying to hide the mushroom, he poked his head into a hole on the mountain. When all of a sudden...
Pop! His head fell off and into the hole!
Afraid, the kind farmer returned to the village as fast as he could.
When he got there, he found that at some point...
His basket had been filled with a ton of rice and delicious food!
P2
Dad: "That hole had been the mouth of the hungry mountain god."
Dad: "and in thanks for filling its stomach, the god had given the kind farmer a reward. And so the farmer lived happily ever after."
(sfx: close)
(sfx: cicadas)
Yoshiki: What kind of story is that...?
(sfx: cicadas)
Dad: Dad doesn't know either...
P3
(sfx: RAIN)
Dad: ...
Yoshiki: ...
P4
(sfx: RAIN)
Dad: ...How's school lately?
Yoshiki: ...It's fine. Normal.
Dad: I see.
Dad: Is there...something you're worried about or...?
Yoshiki: Actually, I want to ask about Hikaru's dad.
Dad: About what...?
Yoshiki: What did the Indou family do in the past?
Yoshiki: What's their "sin"?...
P5
Dad: Who did you hear that from?
Yoshiki: I found out on my own...
Yoshiki: It's something I need to know right now
(sfx: RAIN)
Dad: Why?
Yoshiki: ...
Dad: ...
Dad: ...Kouhei and I, we had talked about it and agreed
Dad: that we didn't want to burden our sons with that though...
P6
Dad: The men of the Indou family go to the mountain once every 5 years or so
Dad: To apologize...and to ask the god not to come down the mountain
(sfx: RAIN)
Yoshiki: Because the Indou family did something during the mass deaths in the past...?
Dad: ....Once, I asked Kouhei what the Indou family had done.
--
TV: {...after the bubble burst...clubs in Ginza...}
Kouhei: The reason the Indou family is hated is 'cause...
P7
Kouhei: The young head of the Indou family at the time had a wife, who fell sick during an epidemic and was made into a "head"
Kouhei: So he went to the mountain and offered up her head
Dad: Uh-huh...
Kouhei: And what do you think he asked for?
Kouhei: He said, "Bring my wife back to life!"
Kouhei: "You can have whatever head you want, just not the Indou family!"
Dad: Ah...whoa...that's already kinda...
Kouhei: Haha! And then...
P8
Kouhei: She really did come back to life!!
Dad: Huh? No way
Kouhei: And in exchange...
Kouhei: Within the day, a third of the village had died bizarre deaths
Kouhei: Deaths by hanging, cutting the throats of their family members and then themselves, having their head be trampled by horses, even cases where someone's head disappeared the moment you turned around
Dad: Wh...oa...All "heads"...
Kouhei: Right! And of course, the Indou family had zero deaths
P9
Kouhei: The wife who had come back to life...
Kouhei: Was still a severed head
Kouhei: So she suffered and died that night
Kouhei: Then, the strange deaths stopped as well
Kouhei: Strangely, after that, the harvests got better, and the epidemics became fewer.
Kouhei: Well, I guess my ancestor was also pretty unlucky...Apparently, up until that point, no matter how many heads you offered, nothing in particular would have happened.
P10
Dad: How much of that is true?
Kouhei: Dunno. But the head of that wife is still around.
Kouhei: So guess that's why they make the Indou family go up the mountain.
Dad: Huh!?
Kouhei: She's called "Indou Hichi"-san
Kouhei: Seems like even if you return her to the mountain, she comes back again somehow.
Dad: You're always...
Dad: Don't say stuff like that like it's nothing...You don't think anything of it?
Kouhei: No, it's not like that at all...
Kouhei: It's something I have to bear after all...
Kouhei: And it's something we have to pass down to our kids as well...
P11
Kouhei: Oh right!! That's why I wanna get married to Yuki-nee* quick!
Dad: Yuki-chan again?
Kouhei: In the Indou family, 'cause there was an incident like that, they say "If you have someone precious to you, you'd better get married quick and bring them into the Indou family."
Kouhei: 'Cause if they're a member of the Indou family, then that angry Unuki-sama won't take them away.
Kouhei: I gotta protect Yuki-nee!
Dad: Even though she turned you down 11 times? You creep.
Kouhei: Aw, shut up! Why do you even remember that!?
* -nee - affectionate suffix for an (older) woman
==
Next chapter: 2024/03/12
Twitter Extra (link):
If you had to pick one, Yoshiki resembles his mother more.
Both siblings inherited the tendency for moles from their father.
Comic:
Yoshiki: *sigh*
Dad: Huh!
Search suggestions:
Search bar:
"m"
"moles how to remove"
"moles lots why"
"moles so annoying"
"moles reason increase"
"moles removal DIY"
"moles world record"
Dad: So it bothers you that much...?
==
T/N
In chapter 14, Kouhei calls Yoshiki's dad "Toshi", but I'm not sure if that's his full name or a nickname, so leaving him as "Dad" for now.
The term used for "head" (kubi) can also refer to the neck specifically, so if you're wondering why deaths by hanging and cutting the throat count as "heads" here, that's why.

Hey there! How r u?
Can I request Yandere Silver vs Yandere Sebek? You can choose any ending ;)
If you don't do rivals, then how about Yandere Silver with darling that is just like him (sleepy and can fall asleep at any moment) unless it's something about their hyperfixation. Then, they become very hyperactive (totally not self projecting 👀
If u do rivalries, then maybe it can also be in there, like- their ways of dealing with us and each other's at the same time hehe 👉👈
Can I be 🧍‍♂️ anon?
Of course, you can be 🧍‍♂️! I think I'll just do the Yandere Silver!
Tumblr media
•So to say the least, he is surprise there is someone like him.
•For one, he is the only one in the school that sleeps anywhere and everywhere.
•So having someone like him is such a breath of relief for him, well, he was pretty wary at the beginning but began to warm up to you.
• Both of you had some things in common and you two could relate to one another.
•Now here's the thing, it feeds him on his delusions that the two of you are meant to be, and what does that mean? It means its shit is about to get real and ugly.
•And the fact Lilia is there just makes it a lot more... worse, so say the least, Lilia can and will tell his son that it's alright for him to have these kinds of feelings for the ones you love yk?
•Heads up, it ain't okay for someone to actually do that and you don't kidnap people that you love, no no, we don't condone murder as well.
•Though Silver is gentle with you and always hugs you when both of you are asleep. More like when he is literally hugging you against your will and you want out already.
•Silver thought he wouldn't get anymore surprises, oh boy.
•When he learned that you are wide awake when it comes down to your hyper fixation, he will learn what it is.
•Your sleeping face is cute and he adores it, he just loves when he sees the smile on your face and wishes only him to see it and no one else.
•To say the least, you and Silver's relationship is, normal but for most part not normal.
• Let's be real here, it ain't normal for you to kidnap your partners or loved ones just to try and protect you because they think your "vulnerable"
•He knows you know how to protect yourself, he's just worried you'll hurt yourself in the process.
•So let him do everything, you both can go and hug and sleep and dream of all kinds of things! Just as long as you wouldn't get out of your chains that is...
⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇
To have someone like yourself was quite, nice to say the least. You had someone to relate to and felt like you weren't being left out and you two could talk with so many things!
It's just.. Silver has been acting, strange.
You're worried about Silver since he looks more awake than he is and is always in his own mind that you even need several attempts to get his attention. Seriously, what happened?
Well, it started with you telling him that you are wide awake when it comes down to your hyper fixation on something, and after that, he acted more strange and gave you the things that you told him about.
It was nice at first, you were able to stay awake for most parts and thanked Silver for all of the gifts.
But now, it was kinda suffocating.
Not in a bad way! No! It just felt too much, to say the least, you felt bad whenever he gifted you with something and always telling you, "Oh, you don't need to worry about it [Name]"
And every single day, he would get you something and after that, would always ask if you guys could take a nap underneath a shade of a tree.
The last part is nice, it's the first part that is suffocating.
And every time you told him to stop because you felt bad now since you never got him anything else in return, he always refused and said that it was alright for him.
And is it just you, or has that bat been following you for the past few days now? The more you look at the bat, the more you feel like something besides the bat is watching you...
You felt uneasy and it kinda made it harder for you to sleep, but your sleeping habits were still there, so you decided to take some things off your mind and take a nap underneath a tree, where it was peaceful and you could sleep alone, not with Silver, just you this time.
It felt so nice to have some time for yourself and just sleep all by yourself, these past few months were always with Silver and you just wanted a day for yourself.
As you felt your eyes closing, you didn't hear nor notice footsteps coming closer and closer, you were too sleepy to hear them, and as you went snoozed into dreamland, the mysterious person picked you up and carried you somewhere else.
Somewhere far more isolated and where you can be kept safe.
Tumblr media
Ah! I am so sorry if this isn't your expectation! I was honestly in a rush while making this and I was getting sleepy and sleepier so please forgive me! And this fanfic has been on my draft for a long time so I apologize for that as well! But I hope you do enjoy this!

Rook x gn!reader, reader is NOT the mc (you are 18 or else itll be kinda weird) im also bad at giving chars nicknames that fit the char that gave them so you all will have to live with "mon rival" :/ i was also using google to help me out with the language of flowers so it might be wrong??? but i really hope its not- either way you get the point i was trying to make. also ik rook'd write poems for his s/o / crush and all but i have NO IDEA how to write them- ill try to include the knowledge of poems in the next fic but im not writing one!!
you and rook have fallen inlove with Vil himself! yet he seems uninterested in any of you romantically..but then again Rook has been looking mighty fine these past few weeks...
Ever since the start of your first year in NRC you've been getting closer and closer to Vil Schoenheit, who has shown you much of his personality that many don't get to see. One day he has introduced you to a new friend of his at the time, Rook Hunt. An odd fellow but he doesn't seem that bad.
That is until you have figured out you had feelings for Vil, and not just any feelings. Romantic feelings. And it seems that a certain hunter has the same feelings for Vil as well....
So for the past year you and Rook have had a friendly rivalry competing for Vil's affection, even though he has been dismissing both of your efforts to court him none of you would ever give up, after all he never said 'no', has he? Whenever you'd send Vil a bouquet of pretty roses Rook always seems to bring him an even bigger, prettier bouquet of roses. Whenever Rook would surprise Vil with a tasty meal you'd bring him a new tastier dish. And so on and on both of your efforts would go until a few weeks ago....
"Mon Rival, I wish you a good morning and a wonderful day!" It was normal for Rook to wish you good mornings and such whenever he saw you, but he never did so with ...a bouquet of exactly 7 roses? Is he showing off that he's about to give that to Vil? But you notice that he hasn't moved at all, there he is in front of you, hand held out with said roses. "I do hope you'll take good care of them, after all i have made sure they'd grow as pretty as you are!"
Confused yet flattered you take the flowers in your hand and just stand there. Rook goes on about his day and leaves you to wonder what this was all about. After all a bouquet of roses is a weird thing to give to your rival that wants to win the affection of another. But it seems that he doesn't stop there.. Now every week you'd get a bouquet of 7 roses either from Rook himself, or at your doorstep. It also seems that he stopped trying to win against you for Vil's love, but it also didn't look like they were together. Something clearly wasn't right..
Today you were talking to Vil as you were both sitting at lunch, nothing to big to talk about as there really was nothing new. Other then one thing. Rook's strange behavior. "Have you not noticed Rook's sudden change in behavior?" he asks you in a tone that makes you think he knows something you clearly don't. "I have, but I have no idea what it's all about. I mean my whole room is about to be filled with so many roses that my roommates are starting to get concerned!" it's true, you have started to put the flowers Rook gives you in anything that isn't a vase only because you have none remining! And you have nowhere else to them other then around your bed as to not get in the way of your roommates.
"And have you ever asked him 'why' or perhaps looked up what the meaning is?" Vil has a good point. Why didn't you think of looking up on the internet what the meaning is!? As you are about to answer Vil, Rook shows up with Epel and they both sit down. Not much else was going on that day, so the moment you finally had free time you looked it up. It's not that you didn't know that roses were a love language, it's that he always brought exactly 7 roses each and every time!
The moment you realized what that meant you have finally understood what's up with Rook's behavior. He no longer wants to be with Vil, but with you instead. But why? what's with the sudden change? It's not that he stopped obsessing over Vil, but he seems to be more interested in you a lot more now.
The following day you saw Rook, with yet again, another bouquet. But now that you know the true meaning of it you can't help but blush a little. "Mon Rival! I was just on my way to your dorm to ask someone to bring you these! What has you walking around so early?" It really was early, considering today was a Sunday and no classes were held, so many students would just sleep the day off and take a break.
"I was actually going to look for you." you can see the look of surprise on his face, it's not everyday you are confronted by your very own crush. "I wanted to ask you why you are even doing any of this. Don't you love Vil or something? Why am I the one you now hold affection for?" Rook gives you a smile and hands you the bouquet as he's about to speak. "You see after I finally understood that Roi du Poison does not like me back, I have also understood that it is you who I truly love." as you take the roses he continues tot speak as he puts his hands on his chest. "I see the way you look at beauty. The way you admire it! You look so lovely whenever you stare at Roi du Poison with such a loving stare. I wish you'd look at me that way."
Blush is creeping onto your cheeks as he confesses his love for you, it is the moment you realize you love him just as much as he loves you.
How can you not accept his roses after this?

TR is usually pretty grounded with naturally occurring hair colors, with any bizarre ones being dyed typically. I'm curious about Mitsuya, though. Do you think the silver-lilac tone is meant to be his natural color? If that's the case, I find it interesting he and his sisters all have different coloring (maybe they have different fathers? Not sure if that's meant to be an implication, but since we don't know what any of his other relatives look like, it's really just speculation we can't be sure about. Interesting to think on though). I know in some futures, we see Mitsuya with black or black-streaked hair, but it's kind of unclear if that's his true color or just dyed like certain future Mikeys. Even the youngest Mitsuya we see already has silver-lilac hair (though we see Draken of a similar age, already blonde (and I'm pretty convinced his natural hair is black at least), so it's not impossible or anything that he could already be dyeing it by then). I guess this is a long-winded way of asking what you think about various characters' natural hair colors. I know some of them have a lot of debate, like the Haitanis and Sanzu, and others are generally agreed upon (like Mikey being a natural blonde, even though that's genetically strange to me... we can probably assume Makoto Sano was naturally blonde, too (for whatever reason...) and Mikey got it from him, despite Sakurako's dark hair generally being more dominant. The other natural blondes we know are Emma and South, who are either implied or confirmed to have mixed blood, so it makes a bit more sense for them. At the end of the day, you could say it's anime logic and doesn't matter, which, yeah, but that's a lot less fun imo). But others, I haven't seen talked about as much (i.e., Izana or the Kawata twins - Izana's hair's been white since at least like,, age 7, right?? That doesn't seem normal... 🤔 and the twins still sport colorful hair in their earliest childhood flashbacks, so there's really no way of knowing what their natural hair looked like, assuming the orange and blue are not that. It's a bit funny to think perhaps they dyed their hair to match their eyes, respectively, lol). And it's not really so strange for these elementary aged kids in particular to have dyed hair when many of them come from families with guardians who might be absent or negligent and not care if their child is perceived as a social hoodlum (*wanna be clear I don't care if kids dye their hair, just noting its association with delinquency in Japan). This got all rambly and out of control, but I'd like to hear your hair analysis thoughts. Which ones do we pretty confidently know, and which ones do you have some theories/headcanons about?
See I'm sure that at the start Wakui was going to keep the colour's as natural as possible, with the more wild colour's being dyed. Then as the story went on he just kinda decided to go wild with the colour's. So I do think a lot of them are just anime logic now, like Sanzu and Senju both having pink and having very pink eyelashes and those colour's since they were kids. I think the S62 are pretty clear too since we see them in juvie with very short hair. I think Mikey's is definitely blonde, especially after seeing Makoto's blonde hair and seeing Mikey being so young with his light hair.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly Mitsuya is the hardest one to say but I think he does have naturally lavender hair. Mainly because he had that hair since he was young and grew up in different circumstances to Draken. Draken knew he wanted to be a delinquent since young and would've likely had easy access to hair dye considering where he grew up. But it's definitely not set in stone, it's one of those things where both sides of the argument have valid points.

Hey sorry, what was that in the tags about humans having two brains?? I haven’t read any of the Visser books…
So in Visser, Edriss describes her first experience in the human brain as:
Then I discovered something strange and disturbing. A huge, deep chasm. It seemed to separate the human brain into two halves. And between the halves was only a nerve bundle not much thicker than my own true body... This second half of the brain was an almost mirror image, but not. It could have functioned all on its own, if necessary, and yet it was in some ways radically different in its memories, its sensory interpretation, even its will. Two almost entirely functional brains in one skull, communicating across a channel of nerves. Not a fully redundant system, almost a second, different brain! ...This brain worked by dialectic. Each half of the brain saw and heard and smelled and touched a slightly different world. Each tended toward specialization, but not a hard, fast split. The left half had more language, but not all the language. The right side had more spatial perception, but not all of the spatial perception... This brain contained its own traitor!
And that's a pretty accurate description of how human brains work, and how they differ from those of non-mammals. It's not about individuals being "right brain" or "left brain" (that's nonsensical; anyone who says differently is selling something). It's talking about the fact that the two halves of the brain are partially but not fully redundant, meaning they work as a team. That way there's backup for the super-important functions like breathing, but not for the nifty-not-necessary ones like language.
I think the stuff about the two halves talking to each other from slightly different worlds refers to split brain research. Split brain patients are those who've had that "nerve bundle not much thicker than [a yeerk]" severed in order to prevent seizures. These individuals tend to have normal quality of life (improved after the surgery)... unless you cut off their ability to use sensory information to compensate for the lack of brain-to-brain information. This interview with one such woman says:
neuroscientists now know that the healthy brain can look like two markedly different machines, cabled together and exchanging a torrent of data. But when the primary cable is severed, information — a word, an object, a picture — presented to one hemisphere goes unnoticed in the other.
If you shut a split-brain individual's right eye, then show their left eye the word "baseball", then they can grab a baseball out of a box by touch — but only if they use their left hand. When asked out loud "What did you grab?", they'll answer "I don't know" because they don't — the right hemisphere which controls the left half of the body has almost no language comprehension. If you show the right eye only the words "stand up", most patients will stand, but when asked why, will say things like "I guess I wanted a bathroom break" or "I must be getting restless" because they have no conscious awareness of being told to stand.
Anyway, this system is pretty great, since it means humans can have pretty good quality of life with huge chunks of their brains missing. And it's kinda baffling, because there have also been people who had all quality of life destroyed by minuscule localized damage. Our brains really are their own traitors. Le sigh.

I will also talk about Tyler because he's also not normal about stuff 🫠
Right from the start you get these signs he's protective to a detrimental level lol
Tumblr media
(BTW Aidlyn scene cuz I'm not normal about them ❤️ The way he literally wraps his whole body in front of her sent me lmao. Mans got his leg around her and everything 🤡)
He's pretty much like this with Taylor in all their scenes. In the Sorrel House he puts his arm in front of her when they see the phantom (that he does not think is real, considering his reaction).
He also has a tendency to drag Taylor away from situations with out asking for her opinion on it 🫠 He just kinda assumes she will want to go with him. Like when he drags her out of the house after saying the phantom was just a prank.
Sir. PLEASE. Kinda possessive of you-
Tumblr media
I don't think Red did this on purpose because like. She hasnt really brought up their culture/heritage or anything in the story so far lmao (I'm crying). But idk like just this behavior reminds me a lot of the guys in my family 🙃 I think Latino boys get kind of socialized to be more aggressive and protective of their families at their own expense. He definitely seems like the kind of brother to impose a curfew- He has control issues like. We all see it right? He's a control freak.
Obviously his dad dying has a lot to do with this. His mother took it extremely hard, so then Tyler "stepped up" to take care of both his mom AND his sister, he's been parentified since a very young age (he doesn't look older than 10 imo). I think he feels a need to "be the man of the house" so to speak. He genuinely does not seem to have any hard feelings towards his mom even tho she...you know, fucked up. if any of you know the "latino boys are mama boys" cliche, but.
yeah.
(I do think Taylor has more mom issues because she kinda resents how Tyler has been parentified and she's allowed herself to be angry at their mom for leaving them to fend for themselves)
Tumblr media
Sidenote: It looks like his family is very isolated. Like, its strange that nobody came to help Marianna after Ethan died. This isn't always the case but usually Latinos have large families (my mom's family had to push together eight beds so all the cousins could sleep in one room lol) WHICH probably means Tyler's branch of the family is, so far, the first and only to have immigrated to the US. He's probably already a second or third generation tho, his mom has only one surname and he and his sister never seem to speak Spanish, so I don't think they learned it (probably some basics). I don't imagine they've ever been to Mexico except MAYBE when they were very young (its kinda rare to visit...since...it's so hard to get out of there in the first place...🫠 I dont think my parents have been to Venezuela in more than 20 years...but also Venezuela is in way worse condition, so...)
But yeah like. His protectiveness of Taylor is something that actively works against her and something she dislikes. She always looks upset when he drags her out of a situation or tells her what to do. She just wants to help :(
BABYYYYY 🥲
Tumblr media
Ofc she never says anything because for most of her life Tyler has put himself in a position of authority and is her caretaker. It's hard to speak up to somebody when they constantly say "I'm doing this for your own good, for your own safety, for-" Whatever. Taylor always believes Tyler does everything for her own best interests, so... even when she doesn't feel good about something, she'll still listen to him. It's a veryyyyyy slippery slope that can quickly become toxic, if it isn't already. Because besides being her brother, he's put himself as her parent figure as well.
He does the thing. You know. Where parentified kids try to overcorrect so they kind of coddle their own children and don't let them do anything because they're scared to death something is gonna happen to them 💀
I don't really know what the point of this was I just wanted to talk about how possessive Tyler can be and how unhealthy his attachment style is 😭 If I write Tyler and Logan angst tho just know it's gonna involve Tyler being overprotective and Logan being Not Cool TM about it 🫠

[Translation] A Curious Step Forward
Tumblr media
From Kohaku’s “Stepping into the World” 4*! Written by: Chitose Umeda! Featuring: Kohaku and Nagisa! Season: Autumn!
Brief Synopsis: After receiving a mysterious letter from someone telling him to meet him in front of the museum to discuss something important, Kohaku is surprised to see Nagisa was the sender...
Tumblr media
Kohaku: Looks like they're not here yet.
Kohaku: (This all started out with a letter...I got it out of the blue a couple of days ago. All it said was "I have something important to tell you" and to meet in front of the museum today. The chances of this all being a prank aren't impossible, but it's weird that I'm the only person being called here to this museum.)
Kohaku: I've got no clue who it is, but if I've come all the way out here I'd like to see who--
???: Ah, I found you.
Kohaku: Eh?
Nagisa: --Ya-ho, Kohaku-kun. Thank you for coming today.
Kohaku: N-Nagisa-han? If you're calling for me, then the one that invited me here....
Nagisa: ...Was me.
Tumblr media
Nagisa: ....There's a special exhibit for ores and fossils happening in the museum now. I was looking for someone to accompany me...while I was thinking of who, I decided you'd be best since I've shared rocks with you before[1].
Kohaku: Thanks a lot for that. But Nagisa-han, I'm not the only one that's gotten rocks from you before right? Bon also said he's gotten one from you.
Nagisa: ...I suppose. However your schedule is also the easiest to follow. I can just ask Ibara.
Kohaku: Well, that's the Vice President for you. But then, what's the "important thing" you wanted...?
Nagisa:...I'd like you to accompany me in understanding how this ancient earth works through ores and fossils.
Kohaku: ? Why?
Nagisa: ...I believe it'd be easier to see the exhibit than to explain. Let's go inside, shall we?
Kohaku: S-sure.
Kohaku: (I haven't got the slightest clue how to respond! Is it really okay to be following him like this...?!)
Tumblr media
Kohaku: ...Wh-what in the world? There are huge bones hanging from the ceiling...!
Nagisa: ...What's wrong? Could it be that the skeletal display surprised you?
Kohaku: Isn't being surprised a normal reaction when something this big is dangling in front of you?! Th-those...aren't real bones right?
Nagisa: ...Well it's a replica, so not really. However these displays' shapes and sizes are meant to get as close as possible to the real thing...same for the colors. Paint is used to show the texture.
Tumblr media
Kohaku: Waaa, it's well made. Everywhere I look there's strange things I haven't seen before...I can't even think of what this is used for.
Nagisa: ....Kohaku-kun, is this your first time visiting a museum?
Kohaku: Yeah, I've never had connections to this kind of place. I remember you mentioned before how the "Antique Market" was kinda like a museum[2]. I think that was just limited to telling the history of idols.
Nagisa: ...That's right, but that carries its own value. This here is what a real museum is like...The lineage of Earth and humanity's history and art is all collected, kept, and displayed openly for the public to see...It's with these exhibits that we learn about the evolution of mankind and the earth...Of course, coming for fun is acceptable as well. Kohaku-kun, is there anything you wanted to see?
Kohaku: I wanted to see?
Nagisa: ...While I was talking to you, I noticed you seemed to be looking around you more. So I was wondering if something had caught your eye.
Kohaku: Umm. Not really, how do I put this. I...feel like I'm lost in a strange world. So I'm just looking around me because I don't know where else to look. It's kinda like being lost in a place where you don't understand a single thing around you...?
Nagisa: ...This museum, it's probably completely unfamiliar to you isn't it Kohaku-kun?
Kohaku: Like I was saying, I haven't got any connections to this place. I never did much studying[3], so I don't really get what the meaning of all this history is...When I ran out into the world and became an idol, I thought my worldview had gotten just a bit bigger.
Kohaku: But when it comes to going to a specific place, I'm lost all over again. I know learning is a part of life, but I know that whatever I've learned is still only a little bit.
Tumblr media
Nagisa:...You're the same as me, Kohaku-kun. I personally grow by absorbing knowledge and information everyday. But, there's also some fun to be had when tackling things that are unknown to you. Recently for me, it's been cooking.
Kohaku: Cooking? Nagisa-han?
Nagisa: ....Yes. Once I learned how to buy ingredients, my worldview broadened. I found more fun and interesting things...Kohaku-kun, I think your worldview will continue to widen.
Kohaku: My worldview...
Nagisa: ...As of now, your vision is only partially open. With a desire to dive in, chase, and push forward--that tenacity will bring to you an unseen future.
Kohaku: I guess you're right...I still don't know about idol culture or sense, and I still don't know my left from my right...but as long as there's the freedom to, then I might just meet something like that just like you said, Nagisa-han~
Nagisa: ...Fufu. Then, shall we see what you want to see and follow your sense of interest?
Kohaku: Eh, why? I thought you wanted to come here for the special exhibit?
Nagisa: Finding something you're interested in and gaining some new insight today would be the biggest reason for coming to the museum. Fortunately, the special exhibit is still open for a longer period of time, so I can come again another time.
Kohaku: Are you sure? But, when I look at the map I can't tell anything...
Nagisa: ...Then how about we go to the exhibit in the basement? There's space for even bigger skeletal and biological conservation models down there.
Kohaku: Really? They've got bones that are bigger than that? Uuuummm, now that you've said it, I am kind of curious. First we can start with that exhibit room so that we can learn the history and eras.
Nagisa: ...It's just around the corner down the stairs.
Kohaku: Got it. Let's get going...~
[1]: Referring to Kohaku's FS1 story which I've tled here! Nagisa gives Kohaku some amber! [2]: Referring to the conversation Kohaku and Nagisa had in one of the middle chapters of Antique Legend. [3]: Meaning "I never [had schooling/went to school]", but I didn't want to stray from the dialogue

Hmm Eddie's girlfriend being nervous to open up to him about her mental health issues (maybe depression or bipolar)
♥️
Forever // E.M
I loved writing this so much, I hope you like it! Thank you for the request.
Summary: With your mental health at an all-time low, you find yourself at Eddie's doorstep.
Warnings: Swearing, mentions of depression, angst kinda?
Tumblr media
You had no clue how you got here. But you were standing outside of Eddie’s trailer in the middle of the pouring rain at midnight.
You felt like you were losing your mind, you didn’t know if it was some sort of breakdown or what, but all you knew was you needed comfort. Not just from anyone, but from Eddie.
You raised your trembling hand to knock on the door of Eddie's trailer. Slowly gaining awareness of just how cold it was outside. You started to feel embarrassed for coming here, what were you going to tell him, you seemed crazy.
"Y/n?" Eddie's groggy voice immediately warmed your heart as his trailer door slowly opened.
"What the hell? Are you okay? Get in here!" He reached his arms out to pull you into his trailer, out of the rain, closing the door behind you. "Are you hurt?" He asked frantically searching your body to make sure there were no wounds.
"No, Eddie, I'm okay." You sniffled.
"Then what the hell are you doing here sweetheart?" He pulled you into his arms, stroking your soaked hair.
"I don't know." You merely whispered into his chest.
"You don't know? Here, let's sit down." He said pulling you over to the couch and sitting you down so he can kneel in front of you. He reached for the blanket sitting on the back of the couch to drape around your trembling body.
"Did something happen?" He questioned with his voice slightly breaking as he hated seeing you like this, so damaged and he didn't know why.
You couldn't respond, too embarrassed to even look him in the face, you looked everywhere in his trailer but the brunette sitting in front of you.
"C'mon baby, you can talk to me." He lifted a hand to guide your face back to his.
"I just feel like I'm going crazy." The tears you were trying so hard to conceal came spilling out.
"Hey, shh, it's okay baby." He wrapped one hand around you while the other held onto the back of your head while it was buried in his chest.
"I feel so stupid." You muttered.
"Don't say that." He said pulling back to look you in the eyes. "You have no reason to feel that way."
"I've always been this way, self-critical, pessimistic." You sniffled, "I've been in and out of half the counselors in this state, and the only thing they all can agree on is I'm fucked. I can't ever seem to be truly happy, and when I am, I'm in this strange state of mania where I don't quite trust what I'm feeling."
"Sweetheart," He whispered, tilting his head to the side with a pained look on his face.
"I never wanted you to see me like this, broken, and fragile. I don't want you to see me differently "
"How else could I see you?" He almost looked as if he was tearing up himself. "How could I see anything else but the most beautiful soul ever created." He placed his hands on either side of your face, with his face only inches from yours.
"You mean everything to me, and for whatever it's worth, I'll always be here." He placed a light kiss on your forehead, "Always."
"Always?" You repeated in the form of confirmation.
"Forever."
You couldn't say anything else, all you could do was wonder how you got so lucky, and about how much you loved him. Your heart felt like it was swelling ten times its normal size, but no longer from pain, but from love.
"Let's get you out of these clothes, your gonna catch a cold." He stood up placing his hand in yours to lead you back to his bedroom.
You sat on his bed while he rummaged through his drawers to find something for you to put on.
"Here, lift your arms." He told you, placing the clothes he'd picked out onto the bed next to you.
As he undressed you, he was as gentle as he'd ever been, looking at you with such love. Not lust, but love, something you'd never seen before.
As you curled up onto him in his bed, you realized, this wasn't puppy love, this was love. You felt as happy and free as you'd ever felt when you laid beside him.
"You okay?" He questioned, noticing you hadn't tried sleeping yet.
"I love you, Eddie." You blurted, not paying any mind to his original question.
"I love you too Y/n." He placed a kiss on your head. "Now go to sleep, I'll be right here when you wake up."

Tristamp rewatch, episode 2! Took me a little longer to get to this because I think episode 2 is like,,,, I never have anything to say about it lmao I don't have too many background details.
Nevertheless, below the cut [Not so long today!] are some theories, details, and character traits I've picked up on today's fine tooth comb rewatch! Also once again spoilers for Tristamp and Trimax.
Once again thanks to @tristampparty for organizing this, I'm having fun :]
So! In sharp contrast with yesterday, I realized that we have a little bit more of Knives in that opening crash sequence - his face is less covered and the camerawork less Vashcentric. I am possibly the worst person to analyze expressions (I have That particular Autism Thing where I often misinterpret people's faces) but here are a few I found interesting
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He just looks a little. again not good at interpreting expressions but anxious? scared, a little upset? I'm not entirely sure he understood how,,, violent the ship exploding would be - and Vash is clearly very very distressed. Also the dark circles under his eyes in that last one - he might have been crying. Much to think about.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Okay this scene, aside from being really funny, is Frustratingly Overlooked imo. Vash's whole,,, pathetic wet sona thing is often intentionally played up in order for him to get people to see him as less of a threat/weaker/more peaceful. And then to have Meryl and Roberto go yeah no we aren't buying that, Instantly calling him out on his bullshit is interesting.
I guess just as Wolfwood sees through Vash's smiles in 98/Trimax, Roberto and Meryl call him out on his schtick here. I also think that he's doing it more exaggerated than normal to kind of change the subject/alter some perceptions of him.

Rai-Dei spotted, and Nightow! Slightly higher quality because I realized I was watching in 720p instead of 1080 because I,,,, i don't know why lmao. anyway i like that nightow gets his own little poster its cute
I guess now would be the time to talk about children in Trigun. So as it goes on I'll build on this, but the fact that so many characters in Trigun are motivated by children is very very important to me; Rosa and the people of Jeneora Rock go after Vash not for themselves, but so they can have the money for their children. Father Nebraska appeals to Rosa to help him get Gofsef up on safe land again by pointing out that he's a father too.
A common trait amongst Trigun characters is their protectiveness of children - Wolfwood (obviously), Vash, Meryl, Roberto and Milly clearly, but Knives and Legato leave the children alive in that one town in 98, Livio in Trimax learns to see children as kinda cute - and the arguably most unsympathetic character, Chapel, is kinda the only guy that hurts/abuses children with 0 remorse. Hate that guy lmao.
It reads to me like a bunch of people wanting to break the cycle of abuse on this planet. but they don't really know how :(
On a lighter note, some screencaps I grabbed for fun, ft: The Thomas Loaf

my closing thought is about Roberto. So clearly he's, yknow, there instead of Milly (unforgivable /lh), but he and Milly have some interesting parallels and ideas - Primarily their observational skills.
In trimax, when Milly interacts with Vash, a lot of the time she's calling out strange expressions or oddities on him - in legato's appearance, that time she asks him why he's still smiling, and the arc where Meryl gets kidnapped.
Roberto is serving a similar role in observing and calling things out about Vash, but he's a little more,,, rough about it. He's nowhere near as (outwardly, the man's got a big heart) caring as Milly! I think it'll be good for Meryl to have Milly in s2 :]
Speaking of Meryl, I appreciate that she definitely has at least someone observational with her, especially while she's less experienced. I love her very much but she happens to be a very stubborn very impulsive person lmao. She definitely needs a balancing.

I got a real scary dream last night. Guess I played and talked DoL too much lol cuz it's like a mega mix between many games and media I consumed. Mostly DoL. It's bizarre, like a battle royale? Survival? Identity 5? It just spread through my entire sleep time and only ended when I woke up, it feels too real, no time skip. Idk but it's just bizarre, so yeah warning: bad English, bad scary drawing but I need to just share it. and I'll only share the scary part.
Okay, let's start the dream, here go:
I got notified through a dream. A dream in a dream. Telepathy?
Anw I know that the whole area I live in will have a "Purge". Some selected few can keep their mind (let's call them "players"), while others turn into "zombies" mindlessly roaming around and attacking "players". If the players got attacked and somehow got "X" they turn into zombies. I don't remember exactly what exactly "X" is, but I guess it doesn't matter, we could assume it's "violated" like in DoL.
Players can keep their "advantage", if they ever have any. Mine is the Harpy Transform. It works pretty much the same in the game. I don't know who the other players are or how many players out there. If there's still survived player when the time's up, everything turns back to normal, if not, I don't know what'll come, but it's probably bad : D
Anyway, there's no blood moon. The game's set at night, and lasts for ? hours, from 9 p.m to ? a.m. There are "breaks" after every 1 hour of "play time". When in break the zombies don't act, they just mindlessly stay right where they are and don't attack even if the player walks right past them.
Anw that's roughly the rules I could remember being told or coming up with after some play time myself? It's like a survival game. Now it's time to join the game.
I woke up in a strange place, not my bed but out in the middle of the street, and immediately got attacked : D
Welp somehow I escaped and ran to a toilet to hide. I think it was 9 p.m, the sky is dark, there were only stars, no moon, but the electricity still works. No weapon, only clothes, somehow I just know my significant other isn't here, and no point trying to find him.
There are a bunch of little details and kinds of stuff happening throughout my journey, mostly related to my irl friends so I won't mention it. I struggled and was scared like hell but still managed to not hurt any "zombies" who attacked me, at least not too much in case they can turn back... bla bla, normal survival game content. But there's something... strange.
I noticed there was ONE particular zombie who keeps appearing wherever I went. It's not noticeable at first. I ran quietly and hid in the dark then looked out, and stole some glances, to know if it was safe to keep going. And I noticed. That one pale, quiet, long-haired zombie, idly moved with the crowd and always turned its head to look somewhere away from me. It looks like a woman and moves painfully slow compared to other zombies. It's eerily.
I kept seeing it everywhere I went. School, park, shopping mall,... every time it stood somewhere closer to my hiding spot than the last time a little. I don't remember if I thought any of it, I just knew it's kinda there.
But by the time I can see its face I immediately knew it was bad new : D
It was when I ran into a school toilet' room. It's a small space with one lockable door and one small window that leads directly to the empty backyard. I thought I could lock the front door to hide, and if anything happens I can climb the window to escape to the backyard.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But then I saw it : D That fucking pale zombie was wandering in the backyard alone. Normally it walks in the crowd, but this time it just loitering alone around the dark, empty yard. It paused and started heading to the window I was standing, and when it was close enough I finally saw its face.
Tumblr media
Its face was blurred. White, almost glowing, mosaic blurred upper half, and I can only see its bright red lips constantly chanting something I can not hear. Its body crumbled and tattered like paper. It's like a flat, flap of paper with a fucking 3D red mouth. It kept chanting and starting to move faster, smiling too. Holy-
Tumblr media
I lose my shit and immediately scramble to the front door to open it. That's when I realized that the door' lock was broken. There was a slash, like an axe slash, that made an agape hole in the door and broke the lock. I didn't see it when I enter the toilet.
Tumblr media
I was frightened and heard something behind my back and looked back and thought that pale zombie had approached the window and trying to break it and crawl in and and
But it wasn't there : D
The yard is pitch black and silent. I was dumbfounded for some good minutes as my heart tried to calm down. I peeked, then opened the window and leaned outside to make sure and the pale zombie was nowhere to be found.
I stood still for a minute and finally calmed down, so I turned around to look at the front door and the gap in it closer only to see this.
Tumblr media
MF was poking its head through the gap in the door but I fainted.
And then I woke up for real : D
No sweating no goose bump no anything, but the image of that fucking pale white mosaic-eyes creature is so disturbing it kinda getting on my nerves. And I'm home alone.
Gosh...........

Here's my review of Bang Dream! It'sMyGO!!!!! on Letterboxd which incidentally is the only review of it on Letterboxd at this moment and I feel unreasonably braggadocios about having been the first one to leave a review for this particular show on that particular website
Okay so you should read that now but also I kinda want to mention a few specific things that really fucking got me in the show.
Scroll away if you don't want to spoil yourself or whatever.
First of all-ly. The live performances were really good. They surprised me a lot in that they actually very convincingly sold these girls as inexperienced amateurs who don't know how to work together.
When watching it, I was expecting the girls' first live performance to go like, y'know, big perfect hyper-well coreographed CGI anime girl song performance, like is normal in this genre generally.
Instead, THIS happens:
At this, I literally laugh-cried so hard so much. Like, god damn, the major anime music girls franchise let its girls just suck at the music, like actually seriously for real, just suck. And then they bounce back and do perform properly of course and get into a groove with each other, and it's really cool and energetic and stuff but
ALSO IT SOUNDS WRONG.
Like, the sound mixing is done wrong, on purpose. The instruments overtake Tomori's voice just a bit too much to still get across that they have still prepared really badly for this and are kind of still doing this sort of badly and that makes it cool when they give a good performance anyway.
Anyway. Then there's the whole arc with Soyo and her being emotionally manipulative to try and get her and Tomori's old band back together. And she's genuinely toxic and acts like an angry ex-wife who can't accept that her ex-wife has divorced her
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(I need them to hatefuck about it. I need a hatefuck doujin of them now.)
And I kind of love-hated Soyo this whole time for being so emotionally manipulative and seeming almost hell-bent on burning all the bridges she has left but well anyway the thing that got me later is after Tomori gets everyone back together with her song poem and they all cry it out
And she's like "why??? I was so terrible and I used you" but even still Tomori expresses that it doesn't matter and she still wants them all together and just
AND IT'S SOO AAAAHHHHH
And that got me just because. Just. Forgiveness is just a really powerful thing and it takes a lot to do it and it's hard but sometimes you need to forgive your friends when they hurt you for things to move forward better than before and more often than not that's a losing gamble but it's so worth it when it pans out and aaahhhhhhhh
Oh, yeah, and then there's the ending reveal that Sakiko has an abusive father.
We'll have to wait to see how that plays into the Ave Mujica anime but that also really got me. That was something
And also um
I liked the gay aquarium penguins
Tumblr media
Okay so anyway um
I have nothing more of significance to say at this time.
There. There's media talk rant ramble for that.
So here's our links etc if you want to leave a tip for this one
