some 1x2 ep praise for marcille. ive never seen such an accurate and kind portrayal of not just feeling like you have to overact/double down - even in seemingly insensible ways - to prove youre useful and special at what you do, but the frustration and even spitefulness that comes with that feeling too.
she's straight up like "yeah i didnt like being called a burden and wanted you all proved wrong and to be super duper sorry" and yeah that motivation can sound illogical and petty if you havent been there. but for folks who have, at least for me, its a really earnest depiction of how sometimes, the need to overcompensate does manifest in non-ideallic ways like that. it doesnt always just lay dormant in you. it hurts to feel pushed aside, and you only act against that cause thats not what you want.
and the fact its not demonized at all, laios is just like "you didnt need to do that because youre our magic user and you will always be needed and important" ( and whats more, her method did do something good even if it was dangerous ) . if you're someone who gets stubborn from feeling chronically unimportant cause you don't feel special or knowledgeable enough at Your Thing. i think its not only commendable but a little healing too.

。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆
Three loud knocks on the door to your quarters startled you awake. That is, it would have startled you awake if you were able to fall asleep in the first place. It was pretty common for you to struggle with sleeping, but some nights were better than others. Tonight was not one of those nights. Although you didn’t want to admit it, you were relieved for the sudden knock at your door because you knew exactly who was behind it.
Not caring that you were only in an over sized t-shirt that stretched past mid thigh and covered your underwear, you made your way to the door as quickly as you could without stumbling in the dark. Once you opened it, you were greeted by a familiar sight, Anakin, his face red and his eyes puffy, both from crying and from sleep deprivation. Tear tracks stained his face that you could see glistening in the moonlight. Without hesitation, you wrapped your arms around him tightly. Anakin immediately returned the display of affection, his body trembling.
“It’s okay, it’s okay now. I’m here. I’ve got you.” You pulled away, rubbing your hands up and down his sides in a comforting motion. He didn’t even need to ask to come in. This exact event had happened so many times that the second you took his hand in your own, he just followed you inside.
You and Anakin had been friends since you were both very young, just children training as padawans. You grew up together, and as the years passed, you became inseparable. You had always been very close, but as you both became adults, you began to do things that some (especially the council) would consider odd for “just friends” to be doing. One of these things was Anakin’s late night visits. He always struggled with nightmares ever since he was a little boy. As his best friend, of course you knew this. But as he got older, instead of going away, they got worse. More gruesome. So, to combat his sleeplessness and fear, he would stop by your quarters so that you could hold him and comfort him, and he would fall asleep peacefully in your bed.
Still holding his hand, you guided him to your bed through the darkness, pulling back the covers and sitting down. You slid over, leaving a spot for him to curl up next to you. He eagerly took the opportunity, sliding into bed and into your open arms. You were safe, shelter from the storm that was his constant nightmares. Even in his own bed, he never felt at home, not until he was in yours. 
Anakin knew what this meant, he wasn’t stupid. But he was also in denial. He was trying to deny it, at least. However, tonight was different. Anakin had a dream about losing you tonight. He was used to having these types of dreams, where you would die and he would stand by helpless. But tonight, it was him who killed you. He was especially shaken up about this one, and immediately rushed to your aid.
Now, here he was, nuzzling into your neck and holding you against him. More like crushing you, afraid that if he didn’t, you would disappear and leave him. You would be lying if you said that Anakin wasn’t your only safe place too, so it was actually comforting feeling him crush you in his arms. You moved one of your hands free, tangling it in his hair and massaging his scalp gently. Anakin had a thing for you playing with his hair, it always managed to soothe him. Occasionally it would cause a very specific problem, one that Anakin would have to take care of himself in the morning. You pretended not to notice for his sake, but you noticed every time. It didn’t necessarily bother you, in fact, it caused a very specific problem of your own. But you were also in a similar state of wanting to deny any “more than just friends” feelings that you had.
Tonight though, Anakin was tired of denying. He was feeling extremely bold. So, brought his head back from the crook of your neck, now face to face with you. You gave him a puzzled look. Usually in these scenarios, he would just pass out in your arms and sleep like a baby after some “friendly” cuddling. 
It was now his turn to lace his fingers through your hair, combing through the strands gently. Even in the dark room, only dimly lit by the moon from outside your window, your eyes shown. He moved his other hand that had been gripping your waist to your cheek, brushing the soft skin with his thumb. “You’re so beautiful...” He murmured, almost in awe. As if he had known it all this time, but this was the first time that he was truly admitting it to himself.
“Anakin...” You didn’t know what else to say. You waited for him to do something, to make a move while he brought his face closer to yours. Tentatively, he pressed a gentle kiss to your forehead. Your mouth hung agape, completely at a loss for words. You felt like you had been waiting for this for an eternity, but now that it was happening, you were stunned. He pulled away, leaving the ball in your court. He was waiting for you to give him some sort of sign that it was okay for him to continue. You knew that he was waiting for your permission, but you didn’t know what to say. You wanted everything from him, his lips, his hands, his cock, you just didn’t know how to form the right words to ask him for it. Panicking, you blurted out the only thing that you knew for certain, the only thing that felt right. “I love you!” It was true, you did love him more than anything in the galaxy, and finally being able to admit it to both him and yourself was a feeling of relief unparalleled. He understood what you meant, immediately knew what you wanted. He always knew. 
His lips crashed against yours, his hand gripping your hair and pulling you towards him with such ferocity that you were left breathless. He growled against your mouth before pulling away to kiss his way down your neck. “I love you. I love you. So much.” He kissed the words into your skin, and you couldn’t help but moan as he decided to leave deep purple marks on your neck. You could have scolded him, pushed him off so that he wouldn’t leave obvious marks that everyone would be able to notice, but you didn’t care. You wanted him to mark you up. You wanted to belong to him.
He moved you like a ragdoll, rolling you over so that you were on your back and he could tower above you. His hands traveled up and down your sides, your shirt riding up and exposing your bare thighs to him. “Is this alright, love?” He knew that this was what you wanted, but he needed to ask your permission before he took this any further.
Enthusiastically, you nodded. “More than alright.” Your voice was breathy and eager.
Anakin hummed a response deep in his throat that made you shiver. “That’s my good girl.”
You knew thay you were in for it now. You had seen this dominant persona in Anakin before, whether he was placing his hand on the small of your back in a public setting or rushing in to “save you” from a group of droids, even though you totally had it covered. In general, Anakin Skywalker was just a very protective and dominant person. This however, was on another level, a level that you were pleasantly surprised and extremely turned on by.
Anakin grabbed the hem of your shirt, letting you lean forward so that he could tug it off of you. “My good girl.” His tone was so deep and dominant that it sent chills through your body. Anakin noticed, chuckling. “Awww, baby...I haven’t even touched you yet and you’re already trembling for me.” A smirk tugged at his lips and he ran his hands over your now bare chest. He reached your breasts, pinching each nipple between his fingers. You mewled, your sensitive nipples sending shockwaves of pleasure through your body.
It was here that you realized how overdressed Anakin was. Impatient, you reached towards him, making a grabby hands motion until you could stretch far enough to claw at his clothes. “Alright, baby. I know.” His hands left your body, making you whine. “Be patient, baby.” Slowly, to make sure that he was teasing you, he undressed himself. Every time you reached out to touch him, he smacked your hand away and told you to wait.
“Anakin...” You groaned, staring at his bulge with wide eyes. You could have sworn you were drooling.
“You want it that bad, huh baby?” He traced his fingers over the outline of his bulge, letting out a shaky breath at the feeling of finally getting some friction.
“Please Ani...” You moaned as you spoke, dreaming about being able to hold his cock, to make him feel good, to feel him inside of you.
Anakin chuckled, slowly pulling down his boxers and letting his erection spring free. If you weren’t drooling before, you sure as hell were now. All of a sudden, the thought of having him burried in your cunt left your mind. You wanted him in your mouth. You wanted to feel the weight of him on your tongue. You wanted to make him feel good after everything he’d already been through tonight.
Anakin noticed you staring, but he didn’t mind. He thought it was adorable. “Darling, you’re gonna have to tell me what you want.” Anakin’s erection bobbed as he moved to crawl back on top of you.
You cleared your throat, desperate but still anxious to tell him what you wanted. Trying to speak, you opened your mouth but no words came out, leading to you just staring at his cock with your mouth agape. Anakin lips formed a soft smile, the kind he gave whenever he wanted to reassure you that everything would turn out alright, and that he was here for you. Anakin’s smiles always seemed to have that affect on you, whether it was intended or not. “It’s alright, baby. You know that I’ll give you whatever you need.” His hand moved over to your face, brushing the hair out of your eyes gently.
Finally, feeling reassured and a little more confident, you stuttered out a response. “I w-want...to make you feel good. I want your cock in my mouth. Let me taste you Ani, please.”
Anakin smirked, surprised at first by your filthy mouth, but still definitely very pleased. “Of course, baby.” Anakin cooed, rolling you both over so that you were now straddling him. Slowly, you slid you way down his body, your hands tracing over his toned chest until they rested on his thighs. Your tongue darted over your lips, already almost moaning at the thought of having his cock resting on your tongue.
Tentatively, you took his cock in your hand, realizing how huge he was in comparison. Your thumb swiped over the head, gathering the precum onto your finger and bringing your hand back down to the base. Anakin immediately groaned at the contact, his fists tangling in the sheets impatiently. Now you realized how much power you had over this situation. Smirking, you ran your tongue up his entire length, never breaking eye contact with him.
“Don’t tease me, baby girl. I don’t think you’ll like the consequences.” Anakin growled, warning you. You giggled at the prospect of that, fantasizing what he might to do you. Now, you were feeling bold. Ready to test the boundaries a little bit.
“Is that a promise, master?” You giggled, eager to see how far you could push him.
Anakin’s hand immediately reached down to tangle in your hair forcefully. “Keep it up kitten, and I’ll be sure to fuck that smart mouth of yours.” Fuck, you felt your pussy clench and you moaned at his words. “You like that, huh baby? You like being my little kitten?” Anakin’s voice was low in his throat and so damn dominant that you couldn’t help but whine. He chuckled, nodding at the confirmation to his own theory. “You do...you love being master’s little kitten.” He paused, giving your hair a sharp tug. “But if you want to be master’s good kitten, you’re going to have to suck me off, alright baby?”
You nodded, giving a little “Mhm!” in affirmation. Already, you were wrapping your lips around the head of his cock. Anakin moaned immediately at the feeling of your warm mouth.
“That’s it...good girl, just like that.” He kept his hand in your hair, helping you ease down onto his length until you couldn’t take anymore, your hands wrapping around the rest. “Good kitten. That’s perfect, you’re doing so good for me.” Anakin groaned as you eased yourself up and down his length. You gagged a little when he hit the back of your throat, but you quickly got used to his size.
Anakin guided you through it, his hands stroking your hair and giving you praise along the way. “Perfect...suck a little, kitten. Just like that, ugh yes, that’s it.” He was quickly losing control, thrusting his hips up so that you could take him deeper. The moans that were filling the room were heavenly, you couldn’t imagine anything hotter if you tried. You were dripping now, most likely soaking through your underwear. You moaned around his length, sending vibrations that caused him to release an almost feral growl.
Anakin was almost fucking your throat at this point, and you dug your nails into his thighs to ground yourself. “Ugh, fuck! Look at me, kitten.” Your eyes, previously closed, snapped up to his. A single tear slid down your cheek, most likely due to you surpressing the urge to gag around him. “You’re gorgeous, kitten. Such a beautiful baby. How did I get so lucky...fuck.” His eyes shone a deep blue that flickered in the moonlight, and his mouth hung agape while he groaned in pleasure and praised you. “Keep going darling, I...” He trailed off, but he didn’t even need to finish his sentence, you knew what he was going to say.
Shakily, Anakin pulled you off of his length by your hair, using his free hand to stroke himself. He was babbling a string of praises while your mouth hung open, waiting for his release to land on your tongue. “So perfect baby, you’re so perfect, I love you so much...fuck!” Strands of hot cum landed on your tongue and around your mouth, and you moaned as a pang of arousal shot through you. As his cum filled your mouth, you realized just how badly you were craving to be touched.
You closed your mouth, savoring the taste of something so entirely him. Swallowing, your eyes trailed over his heaving chest to meet his. Anakin moaned, feeling another tinky spike of post orgasm pleasure as he saw you swallowing his seed. His hand stroked through your hair gently, comforting you. “That was perfect, kitten. You’re so good to me.” You smiled, basking in the praise, but wiggled your hips impatiently as you were now craving some kind of release.
“Well, what are you waiting for? Come up here, baby. It’s your turn.”

another hopper! reader hc or fic babe?maybe continue the one you already wrote because that was super cute! like interactions between hopper and billy would be hilarious
Tumblr media
based on this headcanon
aight lets imagine that hopper was able to take max and billy away from their shitty home life
and because he’s a huge softie at heart
papa bear hopper comes out and he lets them stay at your house 
it would take them both so long to get used to their new settings
but after about a month max would join in on el’s excitement to be living with her best friend
my babies
billy would take much longer to sort of get used to it
like every slam of a door would still make him jump
or when your dad would come home drunk after a night out with his work mates billy would be sent into a panic attack
and while hop set up the spare room for him and max to sleep in
billy would often find himself sneaking into your room in the middle of the night because
“i sleep better when i’m next to you - somehow you stop the nightmares.”
max would also sneak into el’s room too while they gossiped about mike and lucas
but billy would creep back into his respective room when the sun rose not wanting to piss off your dad
however, one time billy would finally be getting a proper nights rest
like baby boy was full snoring
he hadn’t been able to sleep properly like that for a long time
so that’s how your dad would find you when he walked into your room to wake you up for breakfast
billy’s head on your chest
your legs intertwined
he’d clear his throat to try to wake you both
but when he realised that wasn’t going to work he’d roll his eyes and let out a ‘wake up!”
Billy would jump up like a flash of lightening 
immediately spluttering out apologies and excuses like
“im so sorry sir”
“i didn’t want to be disrespectful - it’s just that your daughter has a good chest to lay on… wait! no! shit! i didn’t mean like her, you know? boobs. I mean’t like her chest.”
all while you sat there and looked between the pair
your dad would shake his head and chuckle under his breath
because the hargrove kid was actually a huge dork
and raise his palm so billy would stop rambling
“i was just coming to wake you both for breakfast. I know you’ve been sneaking in here for the last couple of weeks Billy, you’re not light on your feet… also don’t talk about my daughters chest to me again.”
with that he’d leave your room
and billy would let out a sigh of relief before crawling back on top of you
burying his face in your neck and letting out a string of “thank gods”
billy would 100% take y’all to school in the morning and drive you home at night
hopper would be reluctant at first
you know that he had to give our boy a couple of speeding tickets
and he would probably make billy go to a safe driving course just to be safe lmfao
but your dad would eventually get used to it 
always telling billy to “drive safe hargrove or your body wont be found”
once y’all got home from school you and billy would be studying on the kitchen table while the girls studied in the living room
and you’d have this huge biology exam the next day
so you told everyone not to distract you
putting on your headphones and listening to your songs through your walkman
but then el would walk over to your table not understanding a word
like the lil angel asked max what it meant and not even our firecracker knew
so she’d go to tap you on the shoulder but billy would stop her
gesturing to the seat next to him
so she’d shuffle over to the chair and sit down 
pushing her book in front of him before pointing to the word
and billy would chuckle and be like 
“you don’t know what catastrophic means?”
and el would shake her head while trying to say the word out loud after billy gave her the definition
billy wouldn’t say it but the girl that was weirdly named after a number was starting to weave her way into his heart
as was max who had joined the three of you at the table, tossing billy her math homework
billy would raise his eyebrows and be like “what do you need maxine?”
the girl would roll her eyes and sigh
she doesn’t like to ask for help
so billy would scan over the blue sheet of paper with circles that were cut into half and quarters
“let me guess, you don’t know how to write these pie diagrams as fractions, huh?”
max would bite her lip and shake her head while billy grabbed a pencil and turned the paper to face her
beginning to explain the concepts to his lil sister
from then on this kind of became a routine
billy would help the girls with the homework first before doing his own
and you’d always comment about how he’d make a good middle school teacher
which he’d groan about and tell you to “bugger off”
we stan a king who is trying to not swear as much around kids
because there was no way that he was going to become a teacher
but when the time came for y’all to put in college applications 
don’t try to tell me that he wouldn’t ask you to help him write a application for middle school teaching
he’d so get accepted pls don’t kill my dreams
after a while billy would probably get tired of his mullet
the only reason he grew his hair was to spite his dad who said long hair was for “pussies” and “belonged on girls”
so he’d tell you that he’d meet you at dustins house where everyone was hanging out after because he had to do something first
you wouldn’t pry but would give him an “okay, see you then” kissing him goodbye and driving off
billy would stare at himself for a really long time in the mirror with a pair of scissors in his hand
he kept going to cut it but then stopping himself
until he heard the familiar sound of hoppers voice followed by a womans that he recognised as joyce byers
so he’d walk out of the bathroom 
ultimately halting their conversation
and hopper would glance between the nervous boy and the scissors in his hand
and just let out a “what are you doing, son?”
billy would try not to smile at the fact that HOPPER just referred to him as son
but would nonchalantly raise the scissors and look between the pair of adults
“i-uh, was thinking of cutting my hair.”
joyce would smile before gesturing him over to the kitchen table offering to do it for him
when billy finally arrived at dustins he’d knock before letting himself in once he heard the kids yell an “it’s open!”
and all conversation would come to a stop
the party would stare at him in shock
while you’d stand up from your position on the couch next to harrington who had his mouth opened in an ‘o’
you’d walk over while raising a questioning eyebrow 
“you cut your hair?”
billy would shrug and nervously look down at his shoes 
“thought it was time for a change. do you not like it?”
your hands would run through his short locks and billy would shut his eyes 
he loved when you played with his hair okay
and you’d kiss his cheek, telling him that you loved it
while leaning up on your tip-toes to whisper in his ear
“i can still pull on it while you go down on me.”
billy would b l u s h 
and cough to stop himself from being turned on then and there
max would smile at him and give him a thumbs up before returning to the D&D game
el would just give him a loud “badass” before also joining back in the game
billy wouldn’t admit it but having yours and the girls approval meant the world to him
it wouldn’t stop him from telling steve to “bag your face harrington” when steve started talking to him though
don’t even talk to me about how much billy would love ‘family dinners’
his blood related family never had dinner together
so when your dad brought home beer and pizza every friday night
while you all sat in the living room just lounging around eating and talking
he fucking loved it
domestic! billy has me soft™️
he. deserved. better.
we’re gonna pretend the final ep of s3 didn’t happen okay? cool
I WENT CRAZY ON THIS TERRIBLE HC IM SORRY

Symphogear, Ep. 6 (Cont.)
Tumblr media
Hibiki, having seen a horror upon horrors, immediately asks Tsubasa if she’s okay. Tsubasa points out she’s a hospital patient, why would you ask this question, you insensitive prick. Hibiki points to the following scene:
Tumblr media
Now, you may be asking yourself. “How does a formerly comatose person who is now bedridden on an IV drip manage to do this much damage?” Simply put, Tsubasa has a very chaotic aura. She doesn’t even have to take stuff out of her room; the places she goes to just naturally wind up like this. It’s a metaphor for how much of an absolute mess this person is simply by existing.
Tumblr media
“l-look i just- its hard to organize things and- im more of a visual person and-”
Tumblr media
“BITCH YOU LIVE LIKE THIS?”
Tumblr media
Hibiki unwittingly gets her revenge on Tsubasa. She doesn’t realize it, but her lecturing Tsubasa on what an absolute mess every facet of her life is could possibly be heralded as her lowest point in the entire series.
No, wait. Thinking about it now, this is her second lowest. We won’t see her lowest until GX comes along.
Tumblr media
“hibiki, every single bone in my body is broken, you dont have to break my pride too”
Hibiki, being an absolute darling, actually picks up Tsubasa’s mess. This is more than she can say about her own messes.
Tumblr media
“haha, miku usually does this for me! wait- wait a minute.”
Tumblr media
“i dont get it. i tried to kill you. i tormented and ignored you. i refused to help you for months. i failed to train you on any facet of combat as your senior. i nearly let you get kidnapped and, failing that, nearly killed myself while making you watch, which ALSO didnt help you not get kidnapped aside from scaring the shit out of that weird lady. why are you... helping me?”
Tumblr media
“because either we’re going to be very good friends or im going to toss you out the window personally!”
Tumblr media
“oh god, that aggression screams kanade. i cant not like her.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Absolutely annihilated. Just kick her while she’s down in her Taco Bell spiral of humiliation and self-discovery, Hibiki.
Tumblr media
“it’s okay, tsubasa! you may be a terminal dumbass, but im sure if we all work together, we can share our braincells and become collectively smarter, for each other!”
Tumblr media
“interesting theory. how many ya got?”
Tumblr media
“ZERO!”
They trade the kind of banter two people with 0 brain cells would have and then Tsubasa points out Hibiki is doing a great job in her place.
Tumblr media
“hey hey HEY HOLD THE PHONE IVE LEARNED MY LESSON IM NOT TRYING TO REPLACE YOU OKAY IM NOT YOU, IM JUST HIBIKI, DOING HER JOB, ALRIGHT”
Meanwhile, in the library, Miku is looking at books, as she does what she says she’s gonna do, unlike a certain other person cavorting with cute idols.
Tumblr media
“The Gay Way: How to Get Your Same Sex Relationship Back On Track, by Dr. Lesbe Honest. wow, this one is right up my alley.”
Tumblr media
Okay, I’m gonna be honest with you. I literally forgot they show you the title in this. Imagine my face when I made up that title on the spot only to be hit with this little number. Holy shit, Symphogear. There’s this thing called subtlety. I’m begging you. We get it.
OH, AND IT GETS BETTER, BECAUSE
Tumblr media
THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOK IS THE WRITER OF THE SHOW
IT’S LITERALLY GOT HIS NAME ON IT
THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF WRITING A STORY AND THEN INSERTING A BOOK CALLED “LEARN THE PLOT” WRITTEN BY YOU, IN UNIVERSE
KANEKO STOP THIS BALONEY, PLEASE
Tumblr media
AND LIKE FUCKING CLOCKWORK SHE JUST- SHE TURNS HER HEAD AWAY FROM THE BOOK TITLED “THIS IS THE PLOT MOTIF” BY “AUTHOR” AND THEN FUCKING
Tumblr media
SHE CONVENIENTLY LOOKS OVER TO THE DISTANCE
Tumblr media
AND SHE SEES HIBIKI WITH THE HOT IDOL MIKU WAS INTO, THAT THEY WERE BOTH A FAN ON, AND SHE’S JUST CHILLING THERE AND MIKU WAS TOLD HIBIKI’S ON SERIOUS BUSINESS
Tumblr media
AND THE HOSPITAL QUARTERS ARE SOMEHOW CONVENIENTLY CONNECTED TO THE FUCKING LIBRARY ON FULL DISPLAY BECAUSE GOD KNOWS EVERYONE IN A LIBRARY HAS TO WATCH SICK PEOPLE DIE IN REAL TIME
Tumblr media
AND NOW MIKU IS THINKING “OH MY FUCKING GOD IM BEING CHEATED ON” AND HER FEELINGS ARE HURT FOR THIS TOTALLY CONTRIVED FUCKING COINCIDENCE
Tumblr media
AND SHE’S ALL “BOO HOO HOO I’VE BEEN NTR’D! THIS WAS A CUCKING PLOT THIS WHOLE TIME! WOE IS ME!” FUCK YOU. THIS IS THE WORST. THIS IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE WHY WOULD YOU- WHY DO YOU EVEN NEED TO SET THIS UP? THERE’S SO MANY BETTER WAYS TO DO THIS!
Tumblr media
AND SHE’S JUST STARING BACK AT THE BOOK WRITTEN BY THE SAME ASSHOLE WHO WROTE THIS ENTIRE DAMN SCENARIO IN THE FIRST PLACE, AN EVIL GOD MOCKING HIS SUBJECTS IN THE FACE OF SCRUTINY FOR DRAMA WITH THE MOST CLICHE LOVE NOTES IN A GODDAMNED SOAP OPERA
Tumblr media
AND HIBIKI IS NONE
THE
FUCKING
WISER
SYMPHOGEAR SURE IS GREAT, HUH? I SURE DO LOVE SYMPHOGEAR WITH ALLLLLL MY HEART. WHAT A WELL WRITTEN MASTERPIECE! FUCKING BELONGS IN THE FUCKING MOMA!!!!!
Okay. Okay. Let’s get that out of our system. The worst is over. This is the, uh, crescendo of the bad side plot as it inevitably sets itself on the road to resolution. I’m not going to have an aneurysm. My brain is not going to split itself in half. We’re good. I swear, we’re good.
Tumblr media
Tsubasa, meanwhile, wants to understand why Hibiki fights, wrestling with the Da Vinci code that is her own emotions. She points out the fight against the Noise isn’t a game, and it ain’t no comic book bullshit either. It’s real, it’s out there, and it’s not pretty yet easily marketable as cute mascots. And what does our protagonist say? No making it up, she literally says:
Tumblr media
“i dunno”
Not a damn brain cell in her body, but props for keeping it real. I’d likely say the same thing.
Tumblr media
This is the face of someone currently sucking air through their teeth at the raw frustration that someone would be dumb enough to risk their life for the sake of only helping others.
Tumblr media
“listen. im gonna keep it real here. i suck at literally everything. math. social studies. writing. helping people is all i have, because its not a competition. you just... you do it. you dont get better at helping people, you just help. like, thats it. i dunno what else to tell you.”
Tumblr media
Then Hibiki points out that she feels it all started with Kanade saving her, and the speech implies its a ‘pay it forward’ sort of affair. She was saved, and so she should save others. Unfortunately, it comes off more as a guilt complex. “I lived, and I feel bad about that, so I gotta save everyone else” kind of stuff.
Tumblr media
“its my coping mechanism for my countless traumas!”
Tumblr media
“i get it now. you’re just as much of a mess as i am. you just dont show it as much. that kinda thinking’s gonna get you killed.”
Tsubasa then correctly points out that it is a kind of survivor’s guilt, where she wants to be released from the pain of old wounds, completely unaware of the irony of her statement.
Tumblr media
“yeah. i get ya. we’re both wrecks. but... we can be wrecks working together.”
This would be the part where she says I’M SORRY but apparently we just don’t fucking do apologies in Symphogear, huh? Too good for ‘em, eh?! God.
Tumblr media
Then they go outside and talk more about stuff and Durandal. The summation:
Tumblr media
“do you have the capacity to live a life forever kicking ass?”
Tumblr media
“yeah”
Hibiki, coming to terms with how she wants to deal with shit, manages to sharpen (haw) her resolve as to who she is and how she uses her abilities.
Meanwhile...
Tumblr media
youtube
Tumblr media
“i cant believe hibiki is having an affair with an attractive idol popstar. especially my favorite one from their old band. not only is she cheating on me, but she’s cheating on me from one of the five people on my lists id immediately get with if i had the chance. it feels like a double betrayal. a real life one, and a fantasy one... why do i find this weirdly hot...?”
Tumblr media
“HEY NEWCOMER WELCOME TO THE CUCK AND BUCK WHERE WE SELL FRESHLY FRIED CUCKS FOR ONE BUCK, REAL EASY, REAL CHEAP, GOOD OL’ FASHIONED JAPANESE SOULFOOD”
Tumblr media
“ive come to take my throne. i’ll take the ‘one flew over the cuckoo’s nest” and have the three eggs over easy with the ‘easy sleazy pancakes’”
Tumblr media
“make it an extra lonely helping. this is gonna be a long afternoon.”
Tumblr media
“ahhh. a freshly cucked newcomer coming to the cuck and buck to duck amongst their bad luck run amok, huh?”
Tumblr media
“listen dont sass me about my busy girlfriend with your dr. seuss antics just gimmie the food and lets get this over with”
Tumblr media
“no problem! sorry, they just come easy. it’s hard to buck at the cuck and buck when rhymes you huck make you wanna fu-”
Tumblr media
“FOOD. NOW.”
Miku then ponders about how her feelings may have spiraled from a process of over thinking, or possibly hunger. Maybe both. Maybe Hibiki isn’t cheating on her. Maybe the reasons are more complicated than she knows. She briefly contemplates communication; a futile gesture when it is Hibiki safeguarding a secret she is forced to keep for incredibly stupid reasons.
Tumblr media
“thanks for the food, miss. it really helped sort my feelings out.”
Tumblr media
“no probs, kid. here at the cuck and buck, the only thing we cuck here is... our hearts.”
Meanwhile, Hibiki is still hanging with Tsubasa. Hey, if you’re gonna hang out with a critically acclaimed popstar, might as well squeeze every minute out of it, right?
Tumblr media
“so... taco bell, huh? im surprised you actually like taco bell now. maybe you just like fast food styled psuedo-mexican restraunts? have you tried chipotle?”
Tumblr media
“i... maybe you’re right, actually. i’ve grown to love taco bell, but... maybe i should expand my horizons. kanade did say... singing makes you hungry. maybe thats what she meant. i should take to new life experiences...”
Tumblr media
“yeah! i can take you to all the good fast food places i know!”
Tumblr media
“dont you have a girlfriend?”
Tumblr media
“she can join us! she’s a big fan of you after all!”
Tumblr media
“hey- hey wait! m- more friends? more... more friends... more friends.....”
Tumblr media
“more friends...”
Meanwhile, a crisis develops.
Tumblr media
Chris, having heard the f-word (friendship), is heading immediately to do the exact opposite of this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She’s taken some pointers from Tsubasa, t-posing to assert dominance.
Tumblr media
“how the fuck is she even flying”
Tumblr media
“i cant wait to tell hibiki how much i love and appreciate her despite the weird NTR aura surrounding this whole situation”
Tumblr media
“yeah, that’s right! i’m meeting the Gremlin in the park for an asskicking, don’t worry!”
Tumblr media
“oh, speak of the devil! hibiki! i love and appreciate you despite the weird ntr auras!”
Tumblr media
“miku- wait. oh no. i saw this happen in sam reimi’s spiderman 3. im fucked.”
Tumblr media
“YOU GUESSED CORRECTLY, PIDGEON BANGS”
Tumblr media
I know I’ve joked about homewrecking, but this is ridiculous.
Tumblr media
Chris realizes there’s someone else around she may have potentially hurt. This is surprising, given murder is not something she has shyed away from, but she’s slowly climbing that ladder of morality, so cut her some slack for taking it one rung at a time.
Tumblr media
“im losing my girl. losing my grip. now im about to lose my life. this NTR business truly is the worst.”
Tumblr media
Chris has accidentally employed the Dio Brando style of disposing of people, which consists of throwing a vehicle and smashing them until dead.
Tumblr media
“you’ve taken one step too close to my heartstrings, Gremlin, and for that you’re about to understand the full definition of an ass kicking.”
Tumblr media
Hibiki fucking punches the car. Everything is forgiven in this episode for now.
Tumblr media
“i... hibiki... are you... a street fighter character? holy shit. oh my god. hibiki oh my god you’re a street fighter character. thats been the true problem here. you’re a street fighter character now. oh my god. cheating? how could i have thought cheating was involved? you were literally just becoming a straight up superhero! oh my god. the abs! the washboard abs! the signs were all around me! the only thing you went to do behind my back was kick ass!”
Tumblr media
“i’m sorry. i need to go kick ass now.”
Tumblr media
The good news is all that tension just got evaporated. Miku sorta gets the truth now: her girlfriend hasn’t been cheating on her, she’s just been trying to save the local tri-county area from the grips of inter-dimensional alien eldritch entities controlled by a Gremlin and her Mistress. It’s a lot to take in, though.
Tumblr media
These two are about to fight head to head. Last time, Hibiki was but the pupil. Now, she is the Master.
Tumblr media
“can’t touch me, goldie locks. lemme do you a favor and CRACK THAT WHIP!”
Tumblr media
“oh my god hibiki’s gonna fight that weird looking person”
Tumblr media
“naruto running deeper into the woods isn’t gonna stop me from beating your ass senseless, fists for brains”
Tumblr media
“thats because i wanna talk, asshole”
Tumblr media
“wait. wait, what? you... you want to talk? to me?”
Tumblr media
Hibiki proceeds to aggressively describe herself to her. Name, identity, blood type, age, the works. This is because she’s trying to befriend her, because Hibiki feels fighting people is bad, and that talking is more useful than fighting. This is a recipe for suicide, normally, but in this instance...
Tumblr media
“what in the goddamn hell... i... um... nice.. to meet you...?”
Tumblr media
Hibiki deploys a counter-T-Pose to show kinship, feeling that they don’t have to fight like this since they’re not Noise.
Tumblr media
“talk may be cheap but it’ll make kicking your ass all the more easier, nerd”
Chris learns this, in fact, does not make the ass kicking all the more easier. Hibiki’s fresh new moves manage to dodge whip after whip of Chris’s attacks, and it’s really starting to annoy her a lot.
Tumblr media
“pain in the ass. so you learned how to fight, huh? fine. you’ll tire out eventually.”
Tumblr media
“let’s just talk, seriously! or maybe we can bond over board games-”
Tumblr media
“i FUCKING hate board games. the fuck are you, a grandma? just fight already! people cant understand each other anyway!”
Tumblr media
“JUST DIE ALREADY!”
Tumblr media
“i was told to kidnap you. but im exerting a loophole today; no one told me to do it alive”
Tumblr media
“the only kidnapping going down is me, sleeping in on a thursday afternoon forgetting class exists, you neon porcupine. so come at me. can’t kick me ass if you dont come any closer, right?”
Tumblr media
“WITH PLEASURE!”
Tumblr media
“ive watched the entirety of dragonball z, i know exactly how this fight’s gonna go down”
Tumblr media
“finally. looks like i got y- hey, wait, what?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY JANKING MY LEG? THIS BITCH IS LITERALLY GOKU? PULLING KAMEHAMEHAS AND SHIT? WHY? god. its me. yukine chris. why do you hate me. why do you drag me through all this shit only to be hit in the head with some real anime baloney. why. please. have some mercy.”
Tumblr media
“i dont know what a goku is but sure, yeah, why not”
Tumblr media
“im going to kill her. oh my god. she doesnt even know who goku is.”
Tumblr media
“get that tentacle shit away from me. im not fucking around anymore. we’re going to have a heart to heart whether you like it or not!”
Tumblr media
“oh shit she found my weakness. really close melee combat.”
Tumblr media
“MADE A FRIENDSHIP GIFT FOR YA. IT’S A FRESHLY MADE KNUCKLE SANDWICH, STRAIGHT FROM THE DELI”
Tumblr media
“OH GOD, PLEASE, NOT MY FACE”
Tumblr media
“REQUEST ACCEPTED, PAL”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hibiki punched her so hard that she physically destroyed the entire armor Chris was wearing in a single blow.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“she... she doesnt punch ME like that... i mean, probably because she loves me, but..”
Tumblr media
“did... did she just kill that person...? hibiki...? you, uh... you alright...?”
