Jie jie are you going to do a rec post for SOKP?
aight!! i got this ask two?? three?? weeks ago, but never got round to doing this because work has been fdjkhdsghskjf, but here y'all go
what: period cdrama // completed // 38 eps, roughly 40 mins each (+ one bonus epilogue ep, about <10 mins)
where: iqiyi (standard disclaimer that i don't watch with subs so i don't speak to the quality of eng subs)why: villain (of sorts) reincarnation fix-it, what's there not to like?? incredibly attractive cast.
this is jiang xuening. she is, as you can probably guess, the empress. there's been a coup. it's headed by her ex-best friend (who was in love with her until his family got massacred and she chose to leave him to pursue her dream to be empress) who resents her + a bloodthirsty advisor to the emperor. the only man she's ever loved (not the emperor ofc) hates her and is in prison because of her. her life is hell. she knows she has no way out. she trades her life for her imprisoned lover-
-and wakes up 18 again.
because jxn is not stupid, now that she's got a chance to do things again, she immediately decides this time she's going to do better!!
firstly!! she's going to be good to her bff yan lin!!
yan lin's family was massacred before?? not this fucking time!! not on jxn's watch!! she's got a few months to get her shit together and fix this for him!!
"this sounds too easy, sarah, it's a reincarnation fix-it, she's got cheat codes," you say? you're wrong. did you expect jxn to pay attention to anything in her first life beyond clawing her way up to the position of empress?? hell no. she knows the what, the when and the how - she's missing so much of the whys, which is probably important if she wants to stop it from happening.
in the meantime!! my girl's got other problems to deal with!!
in her first life, she died a really goddamn tragic life in the palace. when she was rebooted into life #2, she made the decision to stay tf away from the palace and everyone associated with it. no jxn in palace = no jxn dying in the palace. easy peasy!! foolproof. no way she can mess this up.
she ends up in the palace as the princess's study buddy 🥰 ofc she does, because jxn just can't get a goddamn break. thank you yan lin and co for meddling. 😊
while she's there, she accidentally seduces befriends the princess.
princess was in love with a crossdressing jxn in life #1 and got Really Pissed Off about it when she found out jxn was in fact not the man of her dreams (or a man at all). she made jxn's life in the palace hell in life #1.
jxn: this time around i just won't dress as a man!! no male!jxn = no princess falling in love!!
princess: fool. this time i'll love the female you 🥰
ykw? works for jxn. as long as she's not dying, everything is fine. girlfriend +1 it is then!!
while we're on the topic of sorting out her relationships while she's in the palace, let's talk a little bit about zhang zhe, aka the only man she ever loved in life #1
this is zhang zhe, low ranking officer in the ministry of justice. as straight-laced as they come. excellent cheekbones. in life #1, had a Soft Spot for jxn and did some stuff against his conscience for her. in this life, she's determined not to ruin him!! he's like her 白月光
ANYWAY these two meet again in the palace when he saves her life when she's being framed for treason. immediately, jxn is all 😍🤩 over him again. why would she not!! he was her biggest regret in life #1!! she literally died to save him!! (for those of y'all who expect to have SL syndrome over him, prepare to be WELL-FED, these two have a long arc)
alright y'all know how i said jxn was in the palace to be the princess's study buddy? well!! let's meet their teacher:
xie wei. advisor to the emperor. resting bitchface 10/10. petty af. occasionally feral and murderous 🥵. they were sort of briefly acquainted way back when they travelled to the capital together and jxn saved his life when he was having an Episode (long story short, bb boy is Unwell). the last face jxn saw in life #1 when she took her own life. you guessed it, he's aka the bloodthirsty advisor who staged the coup in life #1.
jxn is (rightfully) quite afraid of him. she tries her best to stay out of his way, but he's trying to sound her out (because she knows his ~secret) to see if she's friend or foe, so they end up in each other's paths more often than not, including important times such as these:
when jxn is trying to thwart a plot to frame yan lin's dad for treason
when xie wei is committing murder
when jxn is heart broken over zhang zhe
they kind of form an alliance!! in jxn's mind, xie wei and yan lin staged the coup together in life #1, so their interests must sort of be aligned!! plus!! xie wei is hella smart!! he'll know what to do to stop yan lin's family from getting masacred!!
ANYWAY that's the gist of the story - i've avoided most of the spoilery parts i think.
there's also the typical cdrama villains you'd expect in a show like this: evil empress dowager, power-hungry prime minister, spoiled brat daughter of the prime minister who is also scheming to be queen, evil uncle of the king trying to usurp the throne etc etc. all the things you need to prop the Palace Evil Schemes up.
i've seen some people say this is a 低配 version of love like the galaxy, which, ykw? fair. 😂 lltg is written better. sokp was a fun watch, though!! y'all know i am into reincarnation plots, and am basically predisposed to liking most of bai lu's dramas. and!! this show ends on such a good note!! i've been tricked into so many ~vague endings this year that this was so so so good to get <3
some of the parts dragged a bit for me (i am p meh about zhang zhe, i mean i get the appeal, but he's not doing it for me), but it wasn't bad! i liked xie wei's character enough to sit through a lot of things. could've done with like 300% more yan lin and the princess, but we can't always have what we want!!

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR OFMD S2 EP6-7 under the cut
Ok, that was A LOT. I have so many feelings but no coherence so i'm gonna do this bullet point form but def not in order, just in order of me remembering wtf happened lol
-IZZY AND WEE JOHN IN DRAG!!!!! Wee John looked STUNNING with that Divine-esque appearance and Izzy had that transmasc drag king kind of thing going on (iykyk) that made me love him even more
-Izzy singing LA VI EN ROSE took me tf out!!! i'm glad he got to finish it after the *ahem* distractions bc Con's voice is so beautiful I could listen to it forever. We better get it in the album!!! Also someone posted the lyrics translated and i cannot get over the lyrics:
"It's him for me,/And me for him, for life/He told me, he swore to me, for life"
-But not only was he singing the second half had fucking gentlebeard doing the dirty in the next room asdfghjkl which.....was hot, ngl. The passion was electrifying. I'm sorta glad we didnt rlly see it with everything that happened after bc it all kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.
Also Stede Bonnet canonically gets turned on by violence confirmed
Or trauma. Whatever.
-What else happened in ep 6 cause all i can think of is drag and singing and sex-
-oh yeah there was that shortlived sexually-charged torturer who i distinctly recall him being in another scene in the promo so unless that got the cut perhaps he's not dead...?
-Lupete missing all the action cause they were doing the nasty all night lmao so real
-Jim best wingman (gender neutral)
-Stede...Stedey boy, can I call u that? Now i'm gonna say this nicely, but WHAT THE FUCK DUDE? Stede in his white guy w undue confidence era fr. Zheng Yi Sao was so right for what she did truly
-But in all seriousness i feel like this whole thing in ep 7 was such a parallel to s1 but also a very necessary bit of conflict in their journey together that was bound to happen. THey want different things and neither is wrong or right for that. Stede did react poorly tho but like he just had sex w the love of his life, his first man, and Ed the very next day is like "aight i'm out". I'd be pissed too. After killing someone which we know is a big trigger for him historically.
But Ed also had a valid reaction. He's wanted to retire for a while and stede knows this but it hasn't seemed to have sunk in quite yet. He fears that Stede only sees Blackbeard and...its fair of him to have that impression tbh. These are two messy, traumatized dudes who have never had a real relationship and there's gonna be bumps. I hope we get s3 so we can better explore that like Djenks wants.
-Ok back to the fun stuff:
-Izzy barging in on GB and the docking joke. love his cringefail ass.
-IZZY IS HAPPY FOR ED EVEN IF ITS NOT WITH HIM
#growth
-the edizzy apology which was so typical of them. i expected it but bc i'd been building it up in my head all week w twitter pals it felt a bit anticlimactic but thats not the shows fault. it was very much in character and if they're satisfied so am i. i always have fic for more
-stizzy commiserating over losing ed pls thats all i've ever wanted!!!!!
izzy: "when i told him i loved him he-"
stede, like he's heard this story before: "shot u yes"
and the look they gave each other after!!!!! stizzy nation how we feelin?!
-izzy being like "stede no" when he was on his macho bullshit w zheng yi sao (also motivated by trauma bc he just lost ed, he cant lose MORE family!!!). i just like how protective iz seems of stede now.
-izzy''s "you're good for him" CRYING THROWING UP ETCETERA
-ed catching 1 fish and deciding thats his life now. adhd realness fr
-the swede whew is it hot in here or is that just jackie's effect on her husbands?
-jackie and ed actin like old friends. swede highkey shading ed adfghjkl
-anyway im sure there's more but i need to rewatch. there r things i wont go into bc its possible spoilers for the finale (tho its mostly just speculation some is based on bts not everyone may have seen). i am looking forward to and terrified for the show to end next week thats all i'll say

aight... started watchin gx-men '97 couple weeks ago, was grinning like a dork throughout the first couple episodes, because nostalgia, right? simple hearing the intro gets me giddy!
and then episode 5 came around and damn... the ending just fuckin broke me. i had to pause. like, it's not that often that pivotal scene/episode gets like that. like there was sg's meridian (repeat thereof increasingy obtained comedic value tbh) and sunday, DetCo's Moonlight Sonata Case, then there was that chapter of FMA (4th ep of fmab) that kicked the floor out from right under my feet, with Dororo ('19)'s ep 5 being a close contender, and DtB ep 11 like... and now X-Men'79 ep five with Rouge not being able to feel Remy like... damn that's one hell of a way to end an episode!
anyway, had to pause and only like yesterday picked up again from where I left and... damn... just damn... X-Men '97 is X-Men done right, it's Marvel done right! still got a couple episodes to go, but damn...
#nocturnal hazards#x-men '97#x-men#marvel#yeah i am being eloquent again#multifandom#spoiler#love me the little cameos!!!

Silver Talks AniManga (20/08/23)
aight some things I wanted to mentioned in this week's post
no zom ep since something else aired in it's timeslot so the ep got pushed to next week
watched this week's bleach episode, kenpachi's since he's my fav guy (fav out of everyone is yoruichi), and while I was sad there was no sakuga it was still very cool
black clover is close to ending but is moving from WSJ to Jump Giga which means it'll take a billion years to end now (1 to 2 years according to my buddy mega) so now I'm not in a rush to catch up to it anymore yay
Anime
Pokemon Horizons Ep18
extremely good episode, one of the best so far easily even.
even if I'm still not very on board with having pikachu around again, just cause he's so marketeable, it was still very good and a nice change of pace
Atelier Ryza Ep8
that was a nice episode, pay off for ryza helping out various people in the previous episodes and getting to show the assholes of the village that she isn't all talk. only 4 eps left so they're absolutely not gonna finish the game's story so I wonder if they'll announce a cour 2 or it'll just be a "hey check out the game if you want to see more ;)" type of thing
Manga
Blooming Love Ch11
yoooooo so true brother go off
anyway cute chap, as usual, not a lot happened but it had some good scenes
Dandadan Ch118
it was quite the long battle but it's finally over. it was a really good arc overall, with vamola's backstory and everyone getting power ups and getting their time to shine in battle, the end with reiko leaving cause of okarun's love was nice too. no chap next week but that's ok, yukinobu deserves the rest
Kaiju 8 Ch92
this is the fight I was looking forward to the most and it was everything I wanted and even more. there's still gonna be one more chap but it's just gonna be the final blow and it wrapping up so counting it as basically over already
Tokyo Underworld Ch50
that was pretty bad, they finally had the director do something instead of just being that worm thing, only for her to be this super powerful executioner and healing all of the good guys, only for her to get 1 shot and die right away anyway. p bad deus ex machina moment
Blue Box Ch113
excellent chap, they'd always teased that kyo had like someone before and made it seem like it was hina and I was certain it was too, but it's nice to see it was someone completely unrelated. also very good to see hina getting over this, this fast instead of it becoming a thing that keeps coming back for a billion chaps, good job miura
Sakamoto Days Ch131
that was a fun chap, p sure it was the first one focusing on sakamoto's daughter? it was p sure seeing her dragging the deer along for shenanigans. a nice cooldown chapter after all the recent tension
Akane-banashi Ch74
in true sports manga style we're getting a couple of comedy chapters to release some of the tension that built up from the competition, it'll be nice to see akane get back in her groove and get over her loss
Ayakashi Triangle Ch140
it turns out that the big power up for matsuri that's been teased for all this chapters was... her going back to wearing a fundoshi??? I mean it makes sense cause if you remember earlier in the series when she switched to girl panties it took a while to get used to and she was less effective and stuff but I still didn't see this coming at all lol

-wait fck i take that back hE’S ACTUALLY LYING FOR HER SAKE THIS BOI. okay this situation might break bonghee but.. she’s also strong :(( and she can just use this as a life lesson
-okay im getting bad vibes,,, he’s gonna keep secrets from her isnt he :\ what is this mess, i cant even enjoy their lil flirting thing going on at the table. is it just me or im starting to see how forced/fake their interactions are RIP.. (maybe it’s just this one scene & maybe we’re getting spoiled with cute scenes too much that it doesn’t have the same effect as it did before) idk like before they looked totally natural and rly cute, but now it’s like i can recognize that they’re actors–not characters. dflakjfgaekew i hope this feeling goes away soon so i can enjoy them more :\
-so he been drinking that insomnia tea everyday ever since she gifted him it?? um did he buy more of that tea bc how could it be a 2-year+ supply

-aw my poor bby eun hyuk rly does look like he needs some help with his case tho bc he has all these conflicting values
-imma need a compilation of all of jiwook’s headshakes
-jibong couple back at it again with the squeaky couch but dsalfjiea i dont rly ~feel~ anything anymore with bonghee and jiwook’s interactions :| it just all feels fake T_T i blame this on the moment when BH asked if he was telling the truth and JW’s internal thoughts reveal that he’s actually lying
-lol BH sorta brushed off that head pat. i feel satisfied :))
-y’all i think i just pinpointed the exact reason why i feel betrayed by jiwook… IT’S BECAUSE OF HIS DECEIVING EYES AND SMILES ! LIKE WHEN HE’S TRYNA PROVOKE HYUN SOO AND HE’S ALL SMILEY AND STUFF LIKE FCK WOW NICE ACTING JIWOOK–JIWOOK, NOT JI CHANG WOOK
-all im saying is, just how genuine are his lovey dovey eyes for BH? lololol im too invested gtgtgtgtgtgtg
-once again these jibong scenes are getting extra 🙃🙃 @ writer, less is more!
-oooh okay so if the son killed his dad, then it totally makes sense that the mom wants to plead guilty for the murder
-im rly loving eun hyuk
-”kids need to fight to grow up” .. i need bonghee and jiwook to fight and not just some petty argument, but like the one in the park scene
-okay that jibong moment at eun hyuk’s trial was good–not too cringey
-hmm.. what is bonghee up to… her unique insights/observances will do the case good right?
-this is good, im starting to like this more: JW talking about how his lady is dirty dalkjfdalkejfa
-afkjeljw she rly did go out to investigate with her hair all crazy like that im-

-OKAY IM BACK ON BOARD WITH THIS SHIP FCK YES LSJFAELAWKJ that natural hug and bonghee knowing all too well about JW’s excuses for skinship :))) i love when ppl are rly aware/observant
-ah yes, the “dirty, but pretty” line is back🤗
-okay now im imagining what jiwook’s backhugs are like :)))))
-kwon nara is so pretty, tbh im starting to feel teensy-bit sorry for her, like 0.3%
-wait BH only just found out that it was her frenemy who was at the hotel with her ex-bf?
-okay i saw that elevator scene from the pre-release and thought it aight :)
at least im not cringing anymore
-oooh is it meeting time with the mothers?
-UM WHAT? IS THIS A PLOT TWIST???? his mom died?? is that why he’s not that close to the lady who owns papa johns
-dang jiwook back at it again with dem acting skills …and lies
-im glad the hyun soo confronted jiwook about this. and oooh dang, did he just basically use BH to threaten JW?
-gdi im starting to get irritated again w/ jiwook 🙃
-okay i cant be mad at him in this moment since he’s talking about his deceased family :(

Snowpiercer s2e7 thoughts: because I got high
(no, not me, I don't do drugs. But the show creators were definitely on some while writing this episode, and this dream sequence made me feel as if I've smoked 3 pounds of weed)
Wow ok this was by far the most boring episode, but also in a way it was fun bc I feel like the show runners gathered every actor on set, clapped their hands and went "aight everyone there's no script for this dream sequence, just do whatever you want!". And if I wanna be honest it wasn't all bad...
Ruth. By it "not being all bad" I mean I liked badass!Ruth. I mean she's always badass but the look with the gun and the cig and the whole bad cop attitude? Mmmm 👌✨
I guess dream!Till was also fun but that's all. Oh and Mrs. Headwood. Ngl she cute in that dress.
Other than that OH WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE LAYTON WAS WRONG TO BASE ALL OF THIS ON A LIE, WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT 🙄
So that means Pike died for nothing. Strong Boy, the Aussies, Mr Headwood, Mama Grande ...they all died for nothing. And guess what, Pike was right all along 😶
I liked that Josie and Zarah seemed to make up. Also Zarah's and Layton's relationship not working out as a couple? Once again, who could have thought 😶
Also I can't believe we got 0 actual Ruth in this episode. Crime, blasphemy, sacrilege, I demand my wife. She better be hidden bc she's trying to do SOMETHING about Layton's shitty leadership, also let's not forget she still has the bomb.
On that note I can't believe the promo baited us with Winnie's doll and the bomb.
Audrey is actually starting to be cool again and I loved her interactions with Till this ep, absolutely agree with her that Till takes care of everyone except herself.
Wilford you piece of fucking ass you better NOT be lying about Melanie, she better be fucking alive, or else I'm going to murder someone.
I feel the way he said "your mother's still alive" was too on the nose to actually make me believe the show is gonna give us alive!Mel, but also at this point she's the only thing that can save this tran wreck (haha) of a season so, keeping my fingers crossed.
Last but not least, I hope everyone we saw "dying" in Layton's dream (Roche, Gillies, Ruth, Alex, Javi, Leanna lowkey with the bomb at the end idk) doesn't ACTUALLY die in the show. And by that I mean if anything happens to Ruth and/or Alex I will boycott the fucking show.
Anyway. Next week better come fast, I wanna see what my Ruthie is doing and I also wanna see Till and Audrey kiss kiss fall in love.

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 13
-
-
-
-
*sigh* AIGHT IDK HOW I FEEL ABOUT THIS ONE!
Again, it feels kinda like filler to me….but I still oddly really liked it. Let me be clearer.
Pros:
- cute Hunter and Omega interactions, even if it’s just the shoulder touching and the fact she runs to him after she’s held captive, she really does trust him the most, he is the one she always goes too, she likes to be with him because she loves and trusts him. I’ve gotta get back to writing these two as soon as possible.
- the Pykes are fucking hardcore. They dont fuck about. I was genuinely petrified when they took Omega, I was spamming my discord because I was so scared. I thought they were going to sell her to Bane or someone and they’d take her back to Kamino which would then lead the boys back to Kamino and then cue showdown with Crosshair while Hunter looks for Meg (of course they get both back. (oh oh! And then season two could entail their strained relationship as Cross is like hella pissed Hunter went after the girl instead of coming for him, not to mention the fact he was left for ages! Oh and poor Megs would be in such a state, the father daughter vibes it would admit it amazing…..shit did I just plan a fanfic???)) but anyways- loved seeing the Pykes! Even if they stress me the fuck out!
- I actually quite liked the criminal (I’ve already forgotten his name) he was a little cheesy but in a loveable way.
- I really liked the focus on Wrecker this episode, even if it was kinda silly sometimes. I thought it was done nicely.
- so we have “bandana/dark n’ broody”, “goggles”, “tiny”, and “muscles”, who’s betting that Echo is “wires”?
- Tech’s “I believe she’s threatening us” what a king lmao. I love his sass.
- Omega is just so kind and understanding, she wants to see the best in everybody. And I love that for her.
Cons:
- filler episode….we’re running out of time for filler episodes Dave. I know the last ep at least will be a lot longer…..but come on. I’ve made a post about this before, about how it feels everything is going to be rushed, and unless we aren’t getting Cross back this season and that’ll happen next season (?) we’re in for a rush, and I don’t want that, none of us do. We want this to be executed strategically. Think like ‘Meg would lmao.
- it just feels like a waste at this point. I would’ve enjoyed this episode maybe six weeks ago, but here it just feels out of place, as if we’ve still got another ten episodes to go to waste time… and we don’t have that!
- and I don’t even necessarily think any development was done here. At least in the last arc we had Hunter and a smidge of Tech development (and I mean a smidge) what did we get from this?? And sure maybe the Pykes will cross paths with the empire and be like “oh yeah we know some rogue clones, got a little girl with them too? Yeah yeah, Ord Mantell” but how certain is that? Especially with only three eps left!
- I just feel like there was no point to this. Where’s Crosshair??? It’s getting lowkey kinda ridiculous, he’s meant to be hunting, hunting doesn’t happen necessarily overnight, so I understand his arrival isn’t prominent yet, but we don’t have time for this! We don’t have time for him to find them at the last minute- I know we might not save him this season, if at all, but it just feels like so many arcs are open and nothing is being closed. We’ve got no closure to the huge questions.
- I’m sorry but what was so dark about that ep too?? I was so stressed out that something awful was going to happen, but…..all that really happened was the guy got his horn chopped off??
Extra potential pro:
- I guess this just means a season 2 is all but confirmed because there is no possible way they can wrap this up smoothly in three episodes.
I don’t have many interesting shots from today’s ep, pretty mediocre for key points if I’m honest. This one I personally really like because I like found family vibe, but otherwise :/. This this was hella cute tho. She runs right to him, and I think that says a lot about their relationship.
I think as an episode I’m going to give this one a 6/10, but overall I’m bringing it down to a 4/10 just based on the context :/ really cool and interesting episode, poor placement.

Walker- 1x01 ~spoilers~
AIGHT FINALLY DOING THIS BC I HAVE THE TIME. I KNOW THE EPISODE CAME OUT LIKE A WEEK AGO AND THE NEW EPISODE IS COMING OUT IN LIKE A WHILE(VERY EXCITED ABOUT!!!) AND I WATCHED THE EP THE DAY IT CAME OUT BUT I WAS BUSY DON’T @ ME.
Anyways, this isn’t like some very analytical meta of the episode, this is just me showing my love and support for it, my favorite parts, what I’m excited for and all and like a speculation of what might happen next based on the stills we’ve seen since there’s no promo :( Let’s get on to it!
~spoilers! last warning!~
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. I had such high hopes and Walker and Jared Padalecki did not disappoint! Obviously!

i need stimulation so bad all the time and even more now to forget the shit that's going on that I've binged watched the first season of roswell new mexico even though i didn't like it bc its so much better than being with my thoughts, anyway...i did binge watch taz in like two weeks and it was amazing. any recommendations for anything that has a mlm/wlw couple in it? the story can be shitty at this point idgaf
aight, so, im gonna recommend shit i was/am into from the top of my head. i liked that shit doesnt mean its good.
penumbra podcast is my drug of choice right now, esp the juno steel series. i just finished season 1, it’s great, very gay, much pining. kinda sci-fi, noir shit. great internal monologues, wonderful detective/criminal dynamic in the main relationship, very fun. also sad. eps have 30-40 mins each. idk how many seasons i just showed up.
black sails. pirate tv show, both mlm and wlw relationships present, very well done, but check any and all content warnings because there’s some scenes that can be rough. there’s 4 seasons and from what i remember it is on netflix.
good omens. tv show, book, theres i think some audiobook or smth. angels, demons, preventing the apocalypse very funny, feel good shit. terry pratchett was in on it. much gay, very discourse.
if you’re into anime, yuri on ice. gay ice skaters. you can find it somewhere on the internet. fun, lighthearted.
king falls am and wolf 359. i know nothing about them, they’re both podcasts, will listen to them after i finish juno steel.
since im one of the ppl that became a tma (the magnus archives, podcast) blog overnight i am giving it an honorable mention, but it is a horror podcast and many topics can hit close to home, so check content warnings if you wanna try it.
so thats all i have rn, hope you’ll enjoy some of it anon!

Symphogear, EP. 3 (Cont.)
“aight fellas im here for the fortnite session where we droppin boys”
Hibiki shows up, ready to participate in this four player game of sociological tension.
“hope hibiki’s doing okay. im worried about her. ryoko, stop resting your arm on my head.”
“ryoko does as ryoko pleases baby”
Vibrates angstily.
“im missing my wife for this guys please lets just do this”
“wish i had a wife too instead of this vase filled with fucking ashes” SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORP
The squad analyzes the statistics of all Noise outbreaks over the last month to see if there’s a pattern somewhere. Somehow, Hibiki is regarded as an authority on this, despite being just a normal girl.
This is not the face of someone who has a degree in Noisology, let alone even listened to a Noisia album.
“looking photogenic while this girl describes how these horrible, lovecraftian entities butcher entire populations will look great on my acting resume”
Strained sounds of holding back laughter at this absolute clownery.
*coughs quietly*
Exposition goes on about the UN acknowledging the existence of Noise, but them existing for far longer, existing in myths as demons and monsters of long ago. This makes little sense, but fuck it, just roll with it. They also say the Noise is rare, but this being Symphogear, the Noise will be here forever, until the end of time.
“its like the noise are a metaphor........................”
Hibiki, looking dead inside as the average overnight studying student would, muses whether someone is behind the noise. She also asks if you can hear the sound of one hand clapping.
Tsubasa makes a very relevant observation that the school is smack dab at the center of all these outbreaks. In retrospect, you probably should have asked her first. She points out it may be because someone wants their get their hands on the almost complete relic hidden away in the 2nd Division: Durandal. Why anyone wants an old ass french sword is beyond me.
“yeah i can do exposition too, fuck you”
Finished relics are extremely rare and as a result extremely powerful. Incomplete ones are pretty powerful, but need to be rebuilt a bit.
“i discovered all this, conveniently, as the only person left to do so! totally not suspicious at all.”
“anime plot hurting brain. bullshit levels make think no good.”
“wish i got hired for a macross anime instead, they get to go to space”
“being meguca is suf- wait, im confusing my roles”
The exposition goes on to note that America wants the relic. This is one of the few shows that depicts America in a very serious and antagonistic light. America never cooperates in any useful way except once.
“it should would suck if someone was sending us them noise monster all on purpose-like”
“yeah............! suuuuuure would suck.... mmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmm...”
Tsubasa and Ogawa quietly plan idol ruminations. This animation used to be far, far worse.
This is the moment where Tsubasa becomes sword-kin. From here on out, she will always refer to herself as a sword. This is law. Literally every single season has this same deal. She believes she is a sword. I know it’s not literal, but I like pretending it is.
Succ Intensifies
“gonna get her number later after the season is over, damn”
Hibiki muses on the nature of war.
“why we gotta fight”
“cause yall suck”
Ryoko then says some very not nice things that we’re just going to walk right around because Ryoko is a little bit of a weirdo and should probably keep her flirting to the short haired lady working on the bridge.
“i will call the cops, lady”
Hibiki starts her next day at school as she spots Tsubasa during her choir class.
“forget my nintendo switch with the latest smash bros game in the classroom goddamnit”
“hibiki please tone down the gay for five seconds while we try to get through this dumb singing class in one piece”
“i smell a homewrecker”
“THE GAY CAN NEVER BE TONED DOWN, IT CAN ONLY BE TONED”
Hibiki is then fed by multiple classmates for this statement.
The Anime Janai crew is fond of Hibiki, much like a group of Lords being fond of the royal court jester. Hibiki clowns it up by working on a report she procrastinated until the very last minute. “Your life sure is an anime!”, one of them says. Hibiki then says, “I wish!”. They smile in unison at the irony.
Look at how they mock the threads of reality. Absolute monsters.
Hibiki nails the report at the skin of her teeth, Miku’s gonna get ready for the meteor shower, everyone’s real fucking happy, the evening looks peaceful, all is well.
“i cant wait to do all these fun things we promised several times over!”
Unfortunately, the worst case scenario happens.
Her tiddies start ringing.
“no.... fuck.... my tiddies... they’re ringing...”
She knows now she cannot go.
In retrospect, she probably could’ve blown them off. I mean, what are they gonna do? Fire her? She’s practically irreplaceable. Alas, her conscience is too strong. The ringing from her tiddies too loud to ignore.
“okay im back for the thing you promised we’d do repeatedly that we planned for a good amount of weeks now”
“...”
“i got fucking ghosted didnt i”
“cannot fucking believe i got ditched on my hot date with hibiki. bet its because her tiddies rang, isnt it. always her and her... GODDAMN tiddies ringing ALL THE TIME. LET ME BE WITH HER... god...”
“bae. im sorry. the tiddies rang. i have no choice.”
Miku tries to keep it together. Neither of them are happy about this state of affairs, and rightfully so, because it’s fucking stupid. Hell, it would have made more sense of Miku knew but still got jealous anyway, because she feels her job is establishing too much distance! And they talk those problems out instead of issues that only arise if everyone’s a goddamn moron about communication!
“but thats the point of the pl-”
NO! IT’S NOT CLEVER! IT’S FRUSTRATING! THERE ARE CLEVER WAYS TO SHOW A LACK OF COMMUNICATION BESIDES A CHAIN OF OBSTACLES TOO STUPID TO EXIST!
Miku takes the whole thing with grace even though I’m absolutely certain she threw her phone at the wall in raw, gay frustration.
Hibiki, understandably, is pretty fucking pissed.
“im gay. im angry, and im gonna fuck yall up for RUINING MY DATE AFTER HAVING FINISHED MY DAMN REPORT”
Hibiki fights the Noise. She’s gotten slightly better at fighting, but for now she’s still sorta trash at it. A grape themed Noise throws bombs and crushed her under rocks from a ceiling.
You’re a student. You’re the lone survivor of a concert that you got flak about for years. You go to an institution for singing with your best friend and basically get shoved into a life of crime fighting unwittingly. Your only teammate hates you and tried to kill you. You don’t get to hang out with your best friend anymore. Your teachers hate you. And you’re losing against the abominations that may have potentially warped your life negatively, forever.
This is probably the pivotal moment where Hibiki fucking snaps and decides she ain’t taking shit anymore. She’s not at her strongest yet, but mentally? She has decided to tell the world to go fuck itself.
“MY WIFE THINKS IM CHEAAAAAATING, MY TEAMMATE THINKS I SUUUUUUUUUCK, AND I’M SICK AND TIRED OF IT”
My, Hibiki, what big fangs you have. All the more to grit your teeth and beat the shit out of things with, I assure you.
Needless to say, even without having the skill, she’s starting to understand and get more comfortable with the full extent of the power her suit provides her.
She’s gotten so mad that even the illustrators are afraid of her.
To note: this isn’t just anime drama silhouette stylization. She is actually physically turning into a red eyed shadow. You’ll know why later down the road.
“YOU WANNA FUCKIN FIGHT ME NOW TSUBASA? HUH? HUH? YOU WANNA FUCKIN’ FIGHT ME?!”
Needless to say, her rampage goes on for a while.
She manages to dispatch all the Noise except for the Grape themed one. Up in the hole it made, she sees the meteor fall from the sky...
Wait, look closer. Is it a bird?
A plane?!
No, it’s...!
“i aint gonna tell her i just did a wish on her”
Sword!
“why the fuck does SHE get jetpacks?!”
Hibiki randomly yells out she wants to protect things too, for absolutely no real reason. Who would even break the ice with that. Hibiki, please.
They sorta stare each other down in a field awkwardly, like a bad high school reunion. But, a mysterious voice breaks out of literally fucking nowhere.
“didnt know they legalized gay marriage in japan already, otherwise id be showing up to this joke of a marriage sooner, you absolute buffoons”
“did this bitch just insinuate id waste my time getting married to this complete idiot, let alone even contemplate getting married in a public park as opposed to having a customized karaoke based marriage in the FUCKING HILTON?!”
“hey time out dont say that shit im already married and my wife already feels enough like im cheating so please keep those comments to yourself okay please”
“eat my ass, nerds. id tell you to come to the park in 15 minutes for an ass kicking...
but we’re already here, now aren’t we?”

Will the Bell Ring? Pt. 3
(Erik Killmonger x Black!OC)
Part 1 Part 2
Kimara pays the barista for her green tea and goes across the street to the studio. This week has been a hectic one for her since she’s been working with Peter Gafflin, an alternative rock artist who is on the come up since his EP dropped last year. Kimara was owed a favor from the owner of the studio, Rick, after Erik helped get him some new equipment from a group that trashed the place after a drug fueled mosh pit they formed to add ambiance to their album. Suffice to say, they would not be returning to record any time soon.
When she enters the studio, Rick is there playing in his grey locs nervously.
“Kimmy! Good to see you 15 minutes past showtime, I really appreciate it.” He smiles, dimples still displaying powerfully under is grey beard.
She shrugs. “You know I have a process, Ricky Kanicky! It all works out in the end, thanks for the hookup on this gig. Are they waiting on me?”
Rick holds out his arm to escort her to the back. “Nah, I stalled them with some mic check mumbo jumbo, so at least their warmed up properly. You need some time in the booth before we start?”
She shakes her head as he opens the door. A gust of patchouli hits her senses. Peter Gafflin and his gang were warming up in a way much different than how Rick described.
“Rick! Thank God, I was ready to call the police, you were gone for like three hours man!” Peter’s rough Carolinian accent boomed as he walked wistfully over to you two in his holely jeans and cowboy boots with his fringed black leather jacket and matching wide brimmed hat.
“No, I just had to go get some extra talent to guide our recording session along. This is Kimara, she’s the third part to our banging backup we keep on hand for artists.”
Peter towers over her at 6’7, but humbly bends to kiss your hand like a prince. “To God be the glory for creating women and music. Put them together and I’m a happy Papa, you know what I’m saying?!” He ribs Rick before clapping thunderously to liven his group. “Aight y’all! Look alive. Dave get your Fender, Bill get your wide ass behind them drums, everybody take your places!”
Kimara goes over to the mics with her other singers. “Wassup Brenda? Tara?”
They roll their eyes at you before mumbling their hellos. You put your headphones on to get ready for the track to play, not studdin them today. They were the fourth pair this year to work for Rick and the studio. They all get inspired to be solo artists or get too wrapped up in the artist of the day and think they can keep up with a touring schedule to only come out of it broke with no plan B, and pregnant.
Singing has always been her dream to do, and any capacity in which Kimara can fulfill that, is one she is willing to go for. It’s her escape, her home away from home, it’s her church, especially when the artist has some good stuff to work with. Kimara hadn’t gotten as in depth with Peter’s discography as she usually does with artist’s before a recording session because her mind could not focus lately. Trying to have a baby has been on her mind 24/7 and Erik filling her mind with hope and then trying to tell her to chill made her crazy. Did he want a baby as bad as she did? Kimara didn’t think so anymore.
She shakes her head and takes a few deep breaths before looking over the music with the girls. Brenda catches her up on the tempo of the song and little points in which Peter wanted them to blow. Southern singers couldn’t deny the power of a good Black gospel when they needed it.
Peter certainly is no exception. He places his hands in front of his mouth in prayer before raising them up to the sky, bringing them down with shaky fists.
“Now THAT is a climax if I ever heard one. What did I tell you Rick? Music and women, the best sounds on this Earth come from both.” Peter smiles pointing victoriously at the three of them before taking his place at his mic. “I’m ready ladies, let’s record this thing!”
After a few dry rehearsals, time came to record. Kimara gives a thumbs up to Rick as he queues up the track to play in your ears. The song isn’t bad, kind of bluesy and it’s about a love misunderstood. Peter plays a man who is trying to convince his lover out of depression, using the analogy of being in shark infested waters. His lover finds the water and waves so beautiful she jumps from the boat and dives in after he protests over and over. He is subjected to watch as the sharks circle around her, he reaches out to her the whole time reminding her that he is there and to take his hand. He can’t tell if her face is wet from the ocean or from tears but she is smiling all the same and it frustrates him to see the danger looming but she isn’t phased.
The song ends ambiguously but Kimara can’t stop her emotions from spilling over and affecting her vocals a little bit. Rick notices immediately and cuts the session short, popping into the booth.
“Hey Kimara, you alright?” He asks in a fatherly manner.
All she can do is nod and wipe her eyes as she wishes she was anywhere but there. Being late is unprofessional enough, but costing an artist studio time, she might as well hang it up now. Peter comes over to Kimara, waving at Rick. “We’re fine, just give us a minute.” He dips his height down to look her in her eyes. “You alright there, ma’am?”
Kimara nods shrugging. “The song is just that good I guess.”
Peter shakes his head. “No, it isn’t. My buddy Ralph helped me to write it, I’ve been wondering about the composition of it since, but when he died in a car crash a couple months ago, I haven’t been able to nail this thing down. He’d know exactly what it needs, but he ain’t here to tell it.”
“I’m sorry for your loss Peter.” Kimara says apologetically.
Peter smiles. “I didn’t kill him, so all’s good! I want you to sing a little something on the track for me, just you, to kind of hear how it sounds. Don’t worry about my notes, just do what feels good to you.”
Peter motions to Rick as he walks Kimara over to his mic, setting the headphones over her ears. Kimara feels nervous instantly, not knowing what to do with the spotlight being on her, this has never happened to her before.
But as the track plays, she sings the lyrics from her heart. They were pretty simple and easy to memorize so when she closed her eyes and flowed with the track, she began to feel that familiar emotion again, accept this time she honed it as best as she could. She knew where her inspiration came from, it was undeniable, but why did he bring the sadness out so easily? Before she knew, the song was done and when she opened her eyes, Peter was on one knee with his hands out.
“You see me right now? This is what you just did to me, an old bachelor crooner ready to lay down it all for your hand. Are you betrothed my dear?”
Kimara laughs as she takes off her headphones, stepping back. “None of your business, because you are too wild for me anyway!”
Peter gets up pointing at Rick. “You hiding treasures from me, you greedy bastard! This girl ain’t a back up, she’s a star in the making!”
Kimara felt hot, trying her best to appear humble, but this man has a way with words that made her completely big headed. “It’s nothing. I don’t have the time for that right now. I’m focusing on my personal life.”
Peter smiles but appears disappointed. “Girl the places you can go. I hope you have someone in your life to remind you of your-your QUEENLY-ness! I wouldn’t leave the house without you by my side.”
Kimara shakes her head. “Well luckily I do have someone. He’s….pretty great I think.”
Peter pulls his glasses down the bridge of his nose. “Well until that ‘think’ turns into a ‘know’ keep me in mind.”
Kimara cackles pushing him away. “You have some nerve. Get back to your spot so we can make this album and go home!”
They share a laugh but before Kimara goes back to her mark she turns to him. “Peter, I did wonder though, with the song: Does the lady ever take your hand? Gets out?”
Peter smiles weakly shaking his head. “Nah, never does. Cuz I pushed her in.”
Nine Years Ago
Kimara sits on the couch with a movie playing in the background but she isn’t really looking at it. Her eyes have glazed over the moving images on her screen and the sounds are similar to being underwater. There is too much happening in her mind at the moment to even be bothered with the world around her.
Kimara hangs her head clutching her knees as she thinks back to a couple months ago, when Erik was there. She had left her part time job at the music college and cautiously pulled up to her house when an ominous figure sat on her front doorstep. Her keys tucked between her knuckles and 911 ready to just hit dial, she steps out the car.
“Whatchu want?!” She bellows, bringing the bass out her voice as much as possible. His head hung low enough that the front door light couldn’t catch his features, face masked in the darkness.
She hears him chuckle. “The hell you barkin at?” He lifts his head up to look at her.
Kimara’s heart dropped in her stomach at the sound of his voice. Covering her mouth, she drops her keys to the concrete, overcome with emotion. He wasn’t supposed to be there, practically considered him dead. Erik gets up, hugging her tightly. “I told you I was gonna be aight. I told you.”
Kimara gasps for breath. “No! You ain’t told me though!” She punches his chest for emphasis.
Erik pulls her away to lift her face toward his, wiping her eyes. “I like a surprise, what can I say.”
Kimara sniffles her snot bubbles, stepping back. “This is so damn embarrassing. How can you act so cool right now. I’m a mess, and you put on so much damn weight, like, the fuck!”
Erik opens his jack to look down at himself. “Well damn! You still know how to talk crazy to somebody.”
She laughs. “No, like, look at you! You got so damn….BIG, like….” Kimara holds his jacket apart a bit to run her hands down his chest.
Erik bites his lip nodding. “Now that’s more like it.”
“Shut up! I’m just in awe! You weren’t scrawny for real but not nearly this buff! What kind of undershirt you got on, you feel bumpy.” Kimara puls at the collar of his shirt, but Erik swipes her hand away.
“Uh uh, you gotta earn the show. Cash upfront.” Erik jokes, putting his hands in his pockets. “You look good too, real….real good. Gettin them squats in huh?” Erik stands on his toes to look around her backside but Kimara steps sideways.
“Here you go! Go on! I don’t see you for two years and you drop yourself here for what? Are you back for good?” Kimara picks her keys up, going to her front door to open it.
“I’m just here to talk, hang out. I needed a place to lay my head, so I figured I could get two birds with one stone.” Erik walks in behind her, closing the door.
Kimara takes off her jacket and sets her bag down. “That’s fine. You welcome here. You gotta tell me how things went! I know you went to Japan at first, but I didn’t get a letter from you after that, I got kind of worried…”
Erik told Kimara about his time in Japan; he was only there a few weeks before he was selected for Special Ops training, which gave him the physique. Most of the rest of his missions were confidential, but the orders he was given were implied.
When he showed his scars and the meaning behind them, Kimara just about lost it.
“How can you mark yourself up like that?! The memories aren’t enough to live with? You have to see them on yourself everyday you look in the mirror?”
“Might as well! I see it when I wake up, when I sleep! In a way, this is therapy for me, makes me feel like what I did wasn’t for nothing!”
Kimara paces the floor agitated beyond compare. “Why would you hurt yourself like that? Haven’t you been through enough to make these permanent changes to yourself? I still can’t believe the day you signed up for that damn program. The details were shaky at best. But the Navy was more important to you than what I thought.”
Erik scoffs. “This wasn’t about you to begin with. We didn’t have anything to fight for. You’re my friend, I had plenty of those. You think you’re the only one that told me to fall back from it? Huh? This gave me purpose, it gave me a vision for my future, something I ain’t had EVER.”
Kimara looked at Erik with disgust. “You’re a damn dumbass.”
Erik cocked an eyebrow. “You better be glad I know you like that, I don't let anybody talk to me like that no more.”
Kimara stands her ground with him. He really forgot who she was. “I ain't scared of you Erik! You forget that I've known you for years now, I'm not just somebody off the street! I've seen you stressed out for exams, I've seen you dealing with people giving you a hard time for being on scholarship, hell US cuz we Black and they didn't believe us! I get that every year on your father's death date, you get extra distant but you let me in to your little rituals to honor him. That Wakandan chant you'd do? I still know it by heart, hell I said it for you!”
Erik looked at Kimara angrily but not because she was wrong. “Stop talkin bout that shit.”
Kimara steps to him. “What you think you hard now? You think you got everyone figured out, you so damn smart?? But you won’t even let yourself FEEL shit no more, is that what your big plan is? Shooting people up and taking their things, like that’s ever worked for anybody.”
Erik snarls. “Except it has, and I have no problem sending it right back to people.”
Kimara points to the door. “Get the fuck outta my house Erik. I didn’t ask for this bullshit in my face.”
Erik turns his chin up at her. “So you done with me now? Now is when you wanna throw me out? I knew you wasn’t worried about me anyway.” As Erik turned away, Kimara pushes his back to get him to the door quicker.
“You fucking bastard! I wasted my fucking time thinking about you! You can’t get outta your own damn head to realize who cares about you!”
Erik reaches for the doorknob, standing there a moment listening to her wail.
“You could’ve been great here with me! I don’t give a damn how tough you think you are, you aren’t this.”
Kimara grows weak from yelling, crumpling to the floor sobbing. Erik crouches down to her quicker than he meant to. It was instinctual more than anything. “Come on now…”
She holds her hands up. “No! You don’t get it. Whatever those people told you over there isn’t true. You aren’t more of a man for doing this shit, for scarring yourself up, for not caring. You’re not human! You’re not yourself!”
Erik freezes when she says this, something finally clicked in him with what she said. Erik apologizes softly, but Kimara was tired. Tired of crying, tired of fighting, she just wanted her friend, she wanted to be happy and for him to be safe and happy too. Erik just held her in his arms, allowing himself to feel like she kept reminding him to. It hurt worse than getting the scars did and when he broke, Kimara was glad. Looking into his face she finally saw the Erik she always knew, the one that she wanted so much from. The world didn’t trample his soul that day, or any day for the next few weeks following.
Kimara allowed Erik in her heart, something she always fought with herself over because they were such good friends and Erik wasn’t the first person she would assume wanting to settle down. But when he looked at her it seemed so genuine, so pure she couldn’t help but fall into him. And that's what she was kicking herself over on that couch a month later, sore and opening a bottle of pills.
Present Day
When Kimara left the studio, she tried calling Erik but didn’t get an answer. Instead she got a generic text saying he would call her later, in a meeting.
She rolls her eyes and decides to go check on his cousin at the community center. He’s helped Erik through a whole helluva lot of bullshit before so maybe he could listen to hers.
The state of the art facility was amazing to see given what it used to be. Old apartments where crime and drugs ran rampant, now it looked like something you would see downtown in the upscale neighborhoods.
When she got inside, it didn’t take long for her to find T’Challa, crouched and talking to a small child standing next to their mother. The child gives him a hug, which he took genuinely and that’s when he sees Kimara.
“Janae, I will see you next week to work on your long division, ok?” He points to her, thanking her mother at the same time before heading over to Kimara.
“Hello! How are you?” He says to Kimara warmly.
Kimara bounces on her toes. “I’m good T’Challa, you?” They share a church hug. Kimara is so happy she can call T’Challa family, without him, Erik wouldn’t even be there.
T’Challa sighs heavily, putting his hands behind his back. “I’ve been better. I’ve been drowning in chamomile tea and crackers to settle my stomach. American alcohol is horrendous.”
Kimara laughs. “Oh yeah, Erik took you out on the town. Did you have fun at least?”
T’Challa half shrugs, smirking. “It was successful for what the goal was. I met with a young lady there and we may have hit it off. I haven’t contacted her about it yet.”
Kimara’s jaw drops. “Whaaat? You playin with women’s heart now T? I never thought of you as the type.”
T’Challa stutters a bit to find his words. “It wasn’t really….well, Erik just wanted to cheer me up for me and Nakia not being on the best of terms, so-”
“Yeah, that’s how he was in college. One girl doesn’t stop his show.” Kimara rests her hand on the back of her neck, playing with her curls knotting at the nape.
T’Challa looks away, visibly uncomfortable. “But I do intend to call her back, I just don’t want to appear too eager and things.”
Kimara pokes her bottom lip out, bucking her round brown eyes at him. “Aww, now don’t go soft on account of me. I know how guys are, so lemme stop asking about your love life. However, if it ever becomes official, feel free to invite her to hang with us. We can make a double date of it.”
T’Challa nods, smiling humbly. “Of course, that would be delightful. I am glad you stopped by actually, I imagine you’re looking for this anyway.” T’Challa turns on his heels, the tails of his jacket picking up with a flourishing wave as he clicks down the hallway.
Kimara follows behind him confused. “What are you talking about?”
Walking down the halls decorated with projects and works tagged with an ‘A+’ or 100% mark whizzed past them as they approached his office. Opening the doors to his office, his footsteps muffle against the lush carpet to retrieve something out of his desk.
He pulls out a burlap pouch to hand to Kimara proudly. “There. Erik is pretty eager to get started on that regimen so you guys can….have at it!” T’Challa gestures awkwardly shaking his hands about in front of him.
Kimara screws her face up looking from T’Challa to the bag. “But I still don’t….OH! He actually asked you about some erectile, baby juice making bull from you?”
T’Challa’s eyes widen. “You and him never stray much from details, eh?”
Kimara opens the drawstring of the bag. “I’m sorry, I just don’t….what is the shit, T?” Kimara pulls out dried leaves and herbs from the pouch.
T’Challa tuts at her. “Aye aye, put it back! He is supposed to boil some water and put that in a cup and drink it. It’s just a mix of common teas and spices, more of a placebo than a real cure.”
Kimara sighs, closing the bag up and placing a hand on her hip. “So I guess Erik really does wanna have this baby.” She murmur to herself.
T’Challa comes around the front of the desk, leaning against it. “Were you having second thoughts?”
She shakes her head fervently. “No, I want to be a mother more than anything right now which….may be part of our problem. I’m forgetting how to be his partner. We got into a bit of a thing when he had his appointment today. He keeps saying I should slow down with the baby making regimen, and I thought for a second he wasn’t taking things seriously.”
T’Challa gives an empathetic glance, crossing his arms thoughtfully. “Excuse me in advance if I’m getting too personal but Erik has told me only a few things, so I’m not unaware. But I know that Erik has your interests in his heart. He knows this is important to you and it is equally important to him. However, he doesn’t do well with rules and regulation. He likes to make things happen and if it works great, if not, move on to something new. And maybe this is his way of moving on to a new method. But it sounds like he wants to take pressure off of you, like with this herbal method.”
Kimara looks at the bag in her hand, feeling herself relax as she held onto it tightly. “I think you’re right. He’s been getting on my nerves with it but I think he’s just trying to show he cares.”
T’Challa nods. “He does, I’m certain of it.”
Kimara gives T’Challa a grateful hug. “Thank you so much! I’m gonna take this to him. Thanks for your help, I knew I would get what I needed coming to you.”
T’Challa gives her a soft pat on the back before breaking the embrace. “Anytime. You guys are a great pair, he’s lucky to have you.”
“You too. He’s come so far because of...because of you. So even though these are dud teas, it may make things a little more hopeful, who knows.”
T’Challa clutches his chest, looking hurt. “Dud teas? I will tell you those are delicious and very relaxing, if nothing else! Fresh import from Wakandan gardens of the royal palace-”
Kimara yawns. “Yeah yeah, I gotta go home now. Tell Shuri I said hello, and if Nakia give you any trouble…” Kimara boxes the air with weak punches.
T’Challa walks her out giving final goodbyes before making her way home to the man of her life.
Walking into their place, Kimara finds Erik sitting on the couch playing 2K.
“I’m home!” Kimara calls out, kicking off her shoes and jacket. Erik presses a combination of buttons on his controller, grunting as he misses his shot at the basket over and over, losing to the computer.
Kimara climbs over the back of the couch, laying her calves over his chest, warming his neck with her serried thighs. “Erik…” she whines.
Erik remains unconcerned with her presence. “Come on, I’m almost done with this quarter, don’t fuck it up.”
Kimara plays with his head, pushing it side to side before resting her breasts on top of him. “Are you still mad at me?”
“When did I say I was mad at you? I thought you were mad at me?” Erik says, still focused on the game until a loud buzzer makes Kimara jump and Erik tosses the controller on the table in defeat.
“I’m not mad, I was just...upset and assuming shit.” Kimara says softly, massaging his scalp. She feels his shoulders relax under her legs as he strokes them.
“So what problems you tryna work through still?” Erik says deadpan.
“None! We don’t have any.” Kimara says sweetly, feeling hands along his face to scratch his beard. “T’Challa gave me his little love potion stuff…” She dangles the bag in front of his face.
Erik takes it, staring at it in his hands. “Aight, just let me know what time you want me to take this and I’ll be on the way to the bedroom.”
Kimara swings her leg around to slide beside him holding on to his arm. “Erik, you ain’t gotta worry about that!”
Erik looks so tired, looking at Kimara wearily. “I don’t wanna be a reason you feel like you can’t get pregnant. I know you think I’m being childish sometimes but I want a kid just like you. This ain’t been good for us though, how we doin it.”
“I know,” Kimara says, resting her chin on his shoulder.
“And soon as those results from the lab come back, we can talk about other shit, but right now, I got you and I’m good with that.”
Kimara’s heart pounds in her chest, what a lovely man he can be. “You’re the fucking sweetest.”
“So don’t be looking at your phone in bed with that tracker, don’t just fuck me without tryna be sexy about it, and don’t down my manhood in the heat of your anger.”
Kimara rubs his chest. “That was bad of me.”
“Damn right it was. Cuz that ain’t no fucking problem.”
Kimara shakes her head. “Never.”
“I know faking, and THAT ain’t it.”
“It’s impossible for me to fake THAT.” Kimara says, knowing exactly what he’s talking about.
“So as a man and as your man, lemme take care of what I gotta do on my own terms. You just keep being cute and fine and smart as you always acting.”
Kimara lays her head across his lap looking up at him. “Never an act babe, I’m all those things and more. Including hungry.”
Erik plays in her wild fro with one hand, the other resting at the base of her throat. “What am I supposed to do about that? You ain’t got hands to dial delivery?”
“Erik! I know you got something in that kitchen, I smelt in soon as I walked in.”
“Yeah, for ME. This a every man for himself house, Ma, you know that.”
“Pleeeease.” Kimara widens her eyes a bit for good measure.
Erik smirks. “You better quit all that for I poke your eye out.”
Kimara scoffs, smacking his stomach as she gets up to look in the oven and pull out a brown paper bag with two containers of penne pasta slathered in marinara meat sauce and melty cheese with the crispy crunchy bread she loves so much.
“You were gonna eat two by yourself, huh?” Kimara quips.
“I can eat a lot more than that, so don’t try me.” Erik calls across the room.
Kimara gets her serving out and practically skips back to the couch to enjoy and watch Erik play his game. Except he still had it on pause.
“So you couldn’t bring mine back witchu?” He asks, voice raising an octave.
Kimara slurps up a stray string of cheese off her fork. “Erik, seriously? I just got in!”
Erik kisses his teeth. “Ok, lemme have a bite of yours.”
“Uh uh! Get your lazy self up and get your own!” Kimara kicks her feet up at him, scarfing another bite.
Erik doesn’t take no for an answer, pushing her legs to one side pinning her. “Gimme some!”
“No! You’re gonna make me drop it!” Kimara squeals, barely holding onto the aluminum container.
Erik just opens his mouth open coming closer and closer to her face. “You gonna spit on me, close your mouth!”
Erik guides his mouth to her fork and she hesitantly puts it in his mouth. He dramatically pauses to savor the flavor, chewing slowly. “Mm! Damn that’s good.”
Kimara rolls her eyes. “Can you get off me now?”
Erik nods, swallowing. “Yeah, just lemme have some bread and-”
“NIGGA IF YOU DON’T GO!” Kimara squirming under him.
Erik takes the container from her hand setting it on the table. “Chill I gotta digest now.” Erik proceeds to open her legs up laying his head against her chest, snuggling in her womanly comforts. Kimara is lowkey seething when all she wants is some damn dinner, but in reality it had been a while since they had been this playful with each other. Putting her needs aside, she takes the time to enjoy his weight on her, his heartbeat on her stomach, the warmth in between her.
“Sing me somethin.” He mumbles in her titties.
That night and every night following for the next two weeks were grand. Kimara hadn’t felt that kind of love for Erik in a length of time she would be embarrassed to admit. It felt like they were dating all over again and she would’ve loved for that to have stayed that way, but then his results came back and her worries erupted all over again.

oh my god i’m still watching this
Aight.
Episode 5.
In my last post about Boogiepop I mentioned that I was afraid they were censoring a lot of the sexual and/or romantically taboo stuff, and I was afraid of how that was gonna affect future plot stuff.
Turns out it didn’t. Aya dead-ass asks if Masaki wants to fuck her and Shinjirou is still gay.
Cool.
I still have a ton of problems though.
I thought the first half of the ep was mostly fine, but the second half just fucking breezes through Shinjirou’s plot to the point where the logical thread gets lost. He says he has a crush on Masaki, then stages a beat down WITHOUT EXPLAINING HOW HE PLANS ON BEFRIENDING MASAKI AFTER IT ????????, and then he’s just outside of Orihata’s house with binoculars and the show doesn’t explain that this was a reoccurring and totally insane thing. The book goes to great lengths to describe how Shinjirou is dealing with his feelings (or rather, not dealing with them), but the show just blasts through the plot points.
On a somewhat related note, the part where Shinjirou gets reprogrammed is way less creepy and effective than it was in the book. First of all, Spooky E’s character design is fucking awful. Then there’s the fact that he does it in the middle of the fucking street instead of some empty building. The book goes through the process of Spooky E finding all of the parts of Shinjirou’s brain that he wants to mess with, and how Shinjirou’s twitching and reacting to having his head fucked with. That shit takes like half an hour, and it’s chilling since the audience had a significantly clearer insight into what Shinjirou’s desires and motivations actually were.
In the show Spooky E just fucking tells him what to do and Shinjirou’s like “okay.” I guess it’s inconsequential, but it’s another example of a bad change that doesn’t add anything to make it better or more interesting.
Also how the fuck does Spooky E know Shinjirou’s name in the show?
Uggggh anyways; that stellar line about how Shinjirou’s mom just accepts that her son is acting strange gets cut in the show’s tradition of completely skipping over themes and interesting character moments.
Oh, I should point out that I actually like the idea of Shinjirou being the first person narrator, and then having his narration get fucked up after he’s reprogrammed. However, I like it better in theory than in practice.
Since i never made a post about episode 4, I’ll say here that i think that one is by far the least bad so far. I still think some weird decisions were made, like not explaining how Jin’s flower thing works, and displaying the flowers in a way where they’re detached from their owners, but overall the episode was fine.
Episode 5 was less fine.
I guess...better luck next week?

Paying Attention
Aight so fun fact about this little fic I am posting. It started out as a stream of consciousness written after the episode last week written on my cell phone. However, I liked the idea so much that it is now a multichapter idea and I have no idea where I’m taking it or how I’m getting it there but here you go! It kinda went through the grinder over the past week cause I transferred the idea to a laptop, did some rehashing where stuff didn’t make sense. I literally pondered the name of Watson’s baby for a week. I originally had the baby as a girl so if there’s any pronoun mistakes just yell at me and I’ll fix them ASAP.
After last week’s episode I was so inspired by Desmond Harrington’s portrayal of Michael that I had to write this. Also does anyone know Michael’s last name cause I don’t think they’ve said it in canon yet? I could be wrong.
Sherlock goes to Watson’s room in the dead of night only to find she is gone and a note is left behind. To what extent will he go to in order to find her?
It is nearly four in the morning when the shrieking begins from upstairs. Sherlock, to his credit, no longer jumps at the sound of Leo awake and announcing his need to be fed. Rather, he sweeps quickly into the kitchen to prepare a bottle for Watson to sleepily retrieve when she wakes. It has become their pattern as of late since Watson gained a particularly nasty burn from trying to operate the stove at such an early hour. He puts the bottle on, she takes it, feeds Leo, and they all resume their previous activities.
When Watson proposed to him her idea of becoming a new mother he originally brushed it off. It was obviously just the murder of her quack therapist hitting her too closely. Yet after the incident he noticed the longing looks more and more. How her step would halt a second as they passed the park on the way to the station. Her eyes lingered on children smiling and playing. Her heart broke at every baby cry. It didn't take much persuading on his behalf.
Of course in perfect Watson fashion she settles into the role of mother with fantastical ease. She balances work and motherhood like a champion, even wearing one of those ridiculous straps across her chest in order to bounce Leo whilst simultaneously studying casework across the walls. She'd scatter kisses across the baby's stomach while he screeched with laughter. Her serene smile is something Sherlock won't soon forget. Even when work was too much she had the faithful eyes of Emily, Mrs. Hudson, or Oren watching over him.
That's why it’s strange when five minutes pass and still no Watson. He'd not heard her footsteps come down the stairs or even the creak of the floorboards to announce that she'd even left her bed.
With a huff he abandons what he's doing fetching the bottle on his way. He tests the milk in the same manner he's watched Watson do a hundred times now before deeming it suitable for consumption and climbing the stairs. He first checks her bedroom but no sign of Watson.
Leo cries from the crib beside the much larger bed where Watson had obviously been lying. He rests a hand on the spot where she'd been only to find it cool to the touch. She's been out of bed for quite some time. He pushes back his apprehension first to tend to the crying child. They've already gotten numerous noise complaints from the heartless bastard next door. Obviously he'd underestimated the powerful lungs of a four month old.
He cradles him gently feeding and burping him before settling him back to the crib so he could peacefully slumber once more. All the time, despite his visceral efforts to remain calm, his heart thunders in his chest. Once he's asleep once more he begins his investigation. He checks her office in the basement despite knowing for a fact that she wouldn't ever leave Leo alone. Yet again he comes up empty. He checks the bathroom, living room twice, and against all odds his room for any sign of Watson.
He resigns to the inevitable in checking Watson's room and risking waking the baby once again. However, at this point all rationale is thrown out the window. The only thing he finds is a note scribbled on her bedside table that sends his heart plummeting to his stomach.
'You stopped paying attention.'
With shaky fingers he dials the first number he can think of at a time like this.
"Sherlock what the hell," The tired voice of Marcus groans through the phone. "Do you know what time it is?"
"Watson is gone." He interrupts the detective mid-rant.
"What?"
"Leo began crying in the middle of the night but she never got up to soothe him. When I checked Watson was gone." He speaks in a hushed voice pacing across the bedroom.
"Any telling of where she went?"
"Only a note from her kidnapper. I know who it is."
"Who?"
"Michael. Michael took her." The man had left New York months ago. He'd forewarned his return but according to the note he'd been back for a while, trying and failing to get his attention. If had been paying attention Watson would be here right now slumbering peacefully.
"Gregson and I will be over right away." Within 30 minutes their quaint home was filled with police investigating the disappearance of his partner. He would send Leo away with Oren until they could find her so the child could maintain some semblance of his routine. He was unfit to take care of him alone anyways, much less in his current panicked state.
"No fingerprints, typed note that's not signed, no signs of struggle." Marcus sighs. "Yup fair to say that he's our guy. Thorough as hell."
"How did he even get past you?" Gregson asks. It’s the same question Sherlock had been beating into his head all night long. He'd not heard him enter nor either of them leave. "We'll look over security footage from across the street and see what we can find okay?"
He gives a jerky nod glancing at her empty bed once more. He should have heard something, noticed something.
Oren's shadow lingers in the background as another officer helps him gather a bag for Leo. Remarkably the baby remains fast asleep in his carrier despite the hustle and bustle around him. The older man seems to wait until the detectives part off once again before slowly approaching.
"Well I've got everything I need." Sherlock only nods noting the man's desire to ask questions. Yet he bites his tongue, an action he and his sister share. Just as he's about to leave Sherlock speaks up.
"There's no sign of a struggle."
"What?"
"Evidence points to the fact that Watson is still alive." He visibly relaxes, tension sinking out of his shoulders. "The note also gives us sufficient evidence to tell us who might be behind the kidnapping."
"Good." He nods with a sort of sad smile. "Just... I don't know what I'm going to tell mom."
Sherlock weighs his options for a few breaths. Spreading the word, the panic, that a consultant for the NYPD had been abducted from her own home would hit the news like wildfire. He's already heard Gregson discussing with FBI investigators to help find her. To spread this story any more would give Michael exactly what he wants. He craves the attention. However, to deprive Mary of the news of her daughter, especially in her addled state, is cruel to say the best.
"You'll tell her I'll find her daughter no matter the cost." Sherlock frowns.
"Whatever it takes?" Oren asks, no doubt in his mind tells him that Watson had told him of Sebastian Moran. He knows exactly what Sherlock is capable of in the most egregious of circumstances.
"Whatever it takes."
Please keep in mind I wrote the bulk of this a week ago the day after the ep aired so if stuff contradicts with canon from this week’s that’s why.

aight buckle up kids, it’s story time:
in the summer of 2013, when i started making vines and gaining a following, i discovered austin jones, who at the time was know for pop punk culture-related vines and being an independent singer. a very warped tour scene kind of kid. i followed him on most of my social medias because i enjoyed his content and he seemed like a likeable kid. once in a while he’d interact with my tweets which of course made me pretty excited.
he had some contest or something one day? i forget but i downloaded kik just for it lmaooo then i won or something and we had a full convo on kik, i was pretty excited, and then we exchanged numbers!! wow!!! and for a while we would text a lot during the day about just regular stuff and music and everyday life. it was p cool. at one point he sent me some of his demos for songs that were gonna go on a new EP, to get my opinion on then.
so when i was doing the vine things, he told me that my vines were good and he wanted me to build up a bigger following, so he’d revine me a lot of times so i’d gain followers. basically the whole reason i gained a big vine following.
so! one night we’re texting and things take a…..turn. and he starts opening up about his…..fantasies….. and i’m like dude u ok? it got very….um….yes. unfortunately i never got screencaps of this but u can trust me. anyways i may have been a naive & immature 17 yr old at the time (he was 21 at this time) but i was v smart and did not succomb to the weird manipulation or actually do stuff he was very vaguely asking me to do. *pats self on back*
so in short. we were internet friends (still??? yes i know i’m disappointed in myself too), he helped me gain my vine following, and we would text often (one time he even sent me a video where he was in his car and was like what’s up miranda i’m in my car!, i was v excited about this, and saved it to send to ppl who thought i was being catfished lmao)
so!!! fast forward to 2015. we still interacted on the internet now and then (to this day he still follows me on ig/twitter and likes my ig pictures often), but then! a youtuber named damon fizzy ~exposed~ him on twitter; the internet found out (quite a lot of girls came forward with ~stories~ about him) that for a long time, austin jones had been manipulating his younger (underage!!!) fans and would ask them to send him twerking videos. gross !!!!!
so i was like ok wow this actually makes sense, it was v sad i was v disappointed in him :/
about a week later he released a big apology video and long fb post, and like it was a legit apology, look it up if u want. it was very heartfelt and i said okay wow, he’s coming clean and admitting to what he did, that’s v good. of course the whole thing affected him for a while but he’s def cleaned up his act and gotten his ish together since then. (obviously a lot of ppl were still like, he’s gross!!! bad person!! etc. and well to an extent….i did agree)
today he’s known for his a capella covers on youtube and was recently on a european tour and like i said before, we still interact on social media, and he seemed like he’d very much gotten his act together. but then yesterday….his past choices led to him getting arrested on monday night. and i feel SO BAD bc i SHOULDNT BE LAUGHING but i am? also this is all very sad but apparently new stuff has come up…..gross,,,,,,……so ya know, he had it coming, there isn’t much else to be said about that
anyways this has been the story of my interactions with austin jones, have a wonderful night everyone
