#em rambles from the dojo

Dear @staff
I don't need a shop.
I don't need you to hide my own blog from me on a new mobile update.
I don't need polls.
What I really, really, REALLY need is for the pornbots to go away.
I have been here for many years now and I have NEVER known it to be this bad. Out of every 5 new followers I get 3/4 of them are these spam porn bots. They are now in the tag lists too. YOU are RECOMMENDING them to me in a 'hey, I've noticed you follow this tag so take a look at this' kind of way.
Could we maybe put out the blazing kitchen fire before we sort out new curtains?
You sort out the pornbots and I promise I will go right to your shop and buy something, but right now I'm too busy reporting and blocking them.
In summary; SORT OUT THE PORNBOT CRISIS PLEASE.
Thank you.

Omg your newest art is so cute, I live to see these interactions between the various Ryan characters! Do you have any headcanons/thoughts about how they’d interact with each other that you feel like sharing? Like who instantly click? Did any start off confused or exasperated by the other at first but then unexpectedly bond hardcore over time? There’s such a range of characters that it’s fascinating to me to think about! 🐢
TURTLE ANON HIIIII :D I was just thinking about u the other day I hope you're doing well!!! <3 !!!!
AHHH AND THANK YOU!!!! Thank you for enjoying my art!!!!!!!! Goodness that means everything to me ahhh I appreciate youuuu 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Ever since I've decided all of Ryan's characters spend time in one big room in BarbieLand I've been having sooo much fun daydreaming about it everyday sdflkjsldkff I love thinking about all kinds of shenanigans ensuing!!
I AM SO HAPPY YOU ASKED 👀 OKAY SO at least in my head, I like thinking about Ken being "the leader" of everyone since he's the first Ryan F/O I've ever had (and he's the favorite)! I think about all of Ryan's characters (the ones on my F/O list anyway) being in a big, open room in the Mojo Dojo Casa House, except Ken calls this place the "Mojo Dojo Casa Keri Ken Dreamhouse" and yes he WILL repeat that phrase every time someone asks in a baffled tone "the what?" and most of the time, it's the characters chilling out, waiting for me to come back from whatever other dimension. Or just chilling because their dimensions (aka movies) are STRESSFUL to be in... I can imagine Luke is constantly visiting BarbieLand like "hey i'm gonna wait for Keri to come home so let me just chill here and crack open a beer with you" and Ken is like RIGHT ON, MY DUDE, I HAVE FIFTEEN MINI-FRIDGES FULL OF BREWSKIS WITH YOUR NAME ON 'EM BRO. I think most Ryan characters would consider Ken fairly strange and unusual, even aside from the whole "this is a human-sized talking doll made out of plastic and he never seems to be wearing a shirt", he's just so talkative and energetic all the time. but they grow to like him very very much because he's such a fun sweetie-pie, and honestly most of these characters have been through soooo much... interacting with Ken would probably be like a breath of fresh air for most of them, once they get to know him and adjust to his energy levels haha
I think, since Ken is the "leader", he makes it his ultimate MISSION to make sure all the "other Kens" get along with each other, and any time there's a "new guy" (like I'm gonna watch another movie and get a new Ryan F/O) he's like "you wanna date MY sweet girl?? you gotta promise you're gonna love Keri and keep her safe no matter WHAT!!! we are an ARMY of KENS and we FIGHT for our sweet girl!!" and he acts all tough and imposing but really he is just an excited golden retriever and he's so happy to be making new friends. I AM GONNA RAMBLE HOLD ON--
Who would instantly click? OOH, okay, Ken and Colt, for sure. They've got the same exact energy. "Your Kenergy is nuclear, bro" and Colt has no idea what that means but he is not questioning it, he's like, aw hell yeah thanks dude. These two are constantly high-fiving and fist-bumping or whatever else. Not to mention his name is literally Colt, you KNOW Ken would go crazy go stupid about his name meaning "a young horse under the age of four years old". He'd say something about that. Excitedly. While showing off all of his horse stuff in the Mojo Dojo Casa Keri Ken Dreamhouse. Colt's slightly confused and a little surprised by all of the horse stuff but he's just happy to be here, man.
I think Driver and Six would get along too -- not at first, though, they'd definitely be weary of each other for sure, at least in my opinion. I think they're both trained to be instantly weary of others, esp when they're protective for someone they care for, so for the first few meetings at the Dreamhouse they are just staring at each other and kind of being on edge bc they both Like Keri Very Much and they're internally like "I sense this guy is dangerous, is he potentially a threat?" Six is able to keep that part of himself, that violence, a bit more hidden since he's trained to; he makes a joke out of everything, he's leaning back on the couch in a faux relaxed position, yet still ready to defend if necessary, meanwhile Driver is deadly silent and that sleeping predator inside of him keeps one eye open, his body tense. Six is more of a relaxed kind of protective, this is his job and it's all he's known for two decades now ("just another Thursday") while Driver is a more violent, unhinged kind of protective, like he only attacks when he's a scared, cornered animal, but his heart is still in the right place. But I think once they get past that initial distrust/discomfort they'd have a mutual respect for each other. Adding my own self ships with them into the mix, I think they'd bond over protecting me and self assigning themselves as my own personal bodyguards hehe. Six insists Driver's gotta get himself a weapon if he's gonna be involving himself with criminals all the time and Driver's like "I don't carry a weapon. I drive." y'know all broody haha
Hmm who else who else. Lars!!! Lars would love Ken. Love his dollness. He'd find Ken comforting to be around, I think, and he'd enjoy all of the pink. Lars would be one of the only people who doesn't immediately find Ken strange. A talking doll, sure that sounds nice. A talking doll who Keri loves and trusts and finds comfort in, yeah that sounds lovely, he finds him lovely. Ken's plastic, Ken's not a warm flesh and blood person (or maybe in BarbieLand he feels like one, since it's all in your imagination? like how at the beach you can hear the waves and feel the water even though it isn't real? how you can taste the food in BarbieLand even if it's plastic? eh who knows)... regardless, I think he wouldn't find Ken as overstimulating as "real" people are, wouldn't flinch at his touch quite as much, though Ken would have to remind himself quite often that he needs to not be as touchy with Lars. Maybe the sights of BarbieLand would be a little too bright and flashy sometimes, maybe the crowds of people would feel overwhelming, so he'd just stay in the Dreamhouse and sit on the couch and read a book with Ken sitting beside him and offering plastic snacks.
Here's some other stuff I like to think about
Jacob and Six would joke around with each other a little bit, Holland too! Holland and Jacob can share a drink at the bar together! I haven't watched The Nice Guys yet but he seems very easygoing and funny from the gifsets I have seen :D
Jacob would try to get Ken to wear literally anything else. "This outfit is way too neon, bro, you wanna impress your girl looking like that when you go on your rollerblading dates? And what the hell is THIS outfit, what kind of -- you trying to be like Sylvester Stallone? It isn't happening. You've got great abs, I'll tell you that much, but you can't keep your shirts open all the time. Only keep 3 buttons opened, it's enough to tease, makes people wonder how many drinks it'll take to get under that shirt." Ken's like "wuhhh..." I think I talked about this with you in a previous ask where Jacob would try to get Driver to wear different clothes because that dude wears the same thing every single day. Sebastian, too, he's always telling him he needs to add more pizzazz to his plain shirts. Add a nice jacket or spiffy up the trousers a little. Seb's having none of it.
I think Luke and Julian would have a hard time getting along with others bc they seem to be the most violent. Maybe Driver would be Julian's favorite because Driver doesn't ask questions and Julian returns the courtesy. They're both violent and silent and uhh I have NOT watched Only God Forgives yet but I hear that is a gorefest also directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and Julian's only got 17 lines. Maybe they'd bond over that, even if wordlessly so? who knows haha. Luke is a more... impulsive kind of violent guy, maybe he'd have some kind of respect for Julian or something. or not. I need to watch the movie omg
Luke, Holland, and Dean can all take smoke breaks together. I feel like another character smokes a lot but I can't remember him at the top of my head...
Ken would think Luke's tattoos are So Cool. Six, too. I find the mental image quite funny: Driver, Six, Dean, and Luke all comparing their tattoos and finding out "hey, I have a barcode tattoo exactly like that on my left wrist!"
I think any character who is normally reserved/stoic would open up a little bit over time because they're around all of these other characters so often, especially Ken, who just radiates good vibes all the time and it rubs off on the others. Like for example I think Ken would ask Sebastian to play a song on his keyboard and Ken would dance to it, purposefully getting the rhythm wrong, trying to make Sebastian laugh -- it doesn't work... until Driver, who has been standing next to Ken and being silent and unmoving, suddenly breaks into this big dance number with him, and Sebastian loses his shit because he's not used to seeing Driver act like that. and Driver quickly stops dancing and acts as if it didn't happen. and when Seb asks him to do that move again he shrugs and says he has no idea what Seb's talking about. Seb tells the others what happened and nobody believes him.
Or another example I think about ALL the time is that maybe a group of characters are sitting around talking, someone says something funny, and Driver just... starts laughing. Like really, really laughing. And everyone freezes and stares at him because they're not used to that. And then they all try to make him laugh more bc it's such a nice sight.
INCREDIBLY self indulgent but this is my self shipping blog so I might as well be self indulgent LOL: Jacob taking pictures with his polaroid camera (I often give my main F/Os gifts bc I love associating them with my own things irl, and for Jacob instead of giving him an accessory/trinket like I give to most F/Os, I give him a camera -- what else can you gift to the man who owns everything?) and he's showing off photos to the others. "LOOK at this picture I took of Keri yesterday, she looks so cute eating her ice cream" and Ken's like "OGOOHGHGH MY SWEET GIRL WUHWUWGHUWHUUWH" and Driver is smiling without saying a word and the others are like "aw, that's so nice, she looks happy" meanwhile Ken is... like... exploding SDLFJSDLFKHSDKF
Luke swears so often I think it would make some characters uncomfortable, namely Lars and Ken. Lars would tend to distance himself from everyone naturally however so I don't think he'd interact with Luke too often anyways? Luke and Dean might get along a bit, they have the same chill vibe and they've stolen money before
Colt would be lowkey jealous that Ken doesn't have to work out to have great abs. He just has plastic abs forever. Colt and Six probably have the biggest tits muscles out of everybody and they're like "whoa bro... sick pecs... what's your workout routine??"
Colt would mention he's a stunt guy for movies and Ken would be like "oh so is Driver!!!" and Colt's like "oh that's so cool man" and maybe they'd bond over that a little bit too!
Dean and Driver would probably get along fine, but for my own self shipping scenarios they uh. have a little bit of beef with each other because one time Driver saw Dean put his jacket around my shoulders and Driver was like "...why is MY GIRL wearing ANOTHER MAN'S JACKET??? 😤😤😤" then he angrily messes with his Rubik's cube for half an hour, just sitting there fuming while Ken is like "haha wow Driver you look REALLY mad :) do you wanna talk about that"
Colt would get along with others easily I think BUT again just for my own self shipping universe + the fact that they all bond over being my F/Os when I think about this stuff, I think. everyone. would be so... idk. not wary of Colt but they wouldn't immediately welcome him either. Ken would definitely get along with him later but just for my own daydreams, at first Ken's like "my god I cannot compete with this guy. his muscles are insane. he's a stunt guy. he's funny. he's insanely skilled. I bet HE can shred waves without any problems. oh, no... he looks like Ryan Gosling" to which somebody else says "dude. we ALL look like Ryan Gosling" and Ken's like "OKAY BUT??? HE LOOKS LIKE A MUCH HOTTER VERSION OF MYSELF AND I CANNOT COMPETE WITH THAT???"
I am wracking my brain trying to think of how Officer K would be with everyone. He's quiet and reserved too. I think he'd be the most level-headed. Often putting his hand on Ken's shoulder when Ken is panicking over something minimal and saying "have patience, Keri will return home soon" or something. or maybe I have a nightmare and Driver's worried and not quite himself bc he's worried I had nightmares about him. so K's also saying in a quiet, level tone "all is well, she loves you, it's going to be all right" stuff like that. I think Lars would like sitting next to K because K isn't intimidating, he's got a very reserved sort of gentleness about him. Maybe Lars can sense that ache within him too, that isolated loneliness.
Everybody eating breakfast together, for the sake of the scenario let's pretend the food is real and not plastic -- Six absolutely housing everything in front of him because it's rare that he's able to eat without somebody threatening to stab him in the back. Six being relaxed in this place just in general, surrounded by friends and, y'know, not being hunted for sport. Officer K loving to eat literally anything given to him because he's spent his whole life eating bland noodles or whatever was made from those protein worm things. He eats a cheese sandwich and thinks it's the best meal of his entire life and he wants 15 more please. Also Colt reminding everyone "you need!!!! CARBS!!!!!" 🥪
I think it would take a while for Officer K to feel like he's "allowed" to enjoy any of this. The others would gently yet constantly coax him to do things he wouldn't feel like he's "allowed" to do. Eat good food and eat as much as he wants, watch a TV show/movie, actually sit back and relax on the couch while talking to others and not be so tense. Make eye contact without fear.
I would honestly love to hear YOUR thoughts on their interactions!!!! I haven't seen all of Ryan's movies yet, just a handful, so I don't have a whole lot of variety of his characters personalities and how they'd mesh/clash in my head quite yet. I'd love to hear what you can come up with :3c
Off topic, I think we super briefly talked about it, I think you're the one who recommended The Nice Guys to me awhile back -- I am finally watching it next month!!! WOO!!! WOO!!!! WOOHOOOOO I'm also gonna be watching The Ides of March next month. Stephen is so damn pretty omg I cannot wait to stare at him for an hour and a half
Btw did you ever happen to watch Drive? I think you said you wanted to but hesitated to since it's a gory film -- if you want, I have timestamps on ALL of the gore moments and I can give you a heads up on what happens, where it happens and when to expect it! I am the most squeamish person alive and there are a few moments I can handle and a few where I definitely have to look away. I have watched Drive almost every single week for the last... um... since September. So I've got those content warnings DOWN!! But if you aren't the person who told me that, uh don't worry about it SDLFJSDF but yeah let me know if you watch/have watched Drive because I'd love to hear your thoughts on that too :D !!!!!

The Short Okami Ramble Post So My Friends, Mutuals and Followers Who Haven't Already Might Go Play It
Tumblr media
Note: I'll try to keep spoiling the fun surprises to a minimum but obviously I'll be talking a lot about the game. I'm sure others have done a better job of explaining it but, eh, who cares? This is just an excuse to gush about it.
So, for the basics, this game came out on the PS2 back in 2006/2007 (depending on your region), made by Clover Studios (which sadly closed a few months after its release). It has since been ported to the Wii, PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and onto PC through Steam. The name "Okami" is actually a pun, something I didn't get until my friend (the one who's playing it) recently told me that (as the Wiki puts it)
' the word ōkami (狼) in Japanese means "wolf". The kanji characters (大神), pronounced identically, mean "great deity", so the main character is a great wolf deity.'
I must've known on a spiritual level with how much I adored this game lmao.
Also I mean, look at it. The game's art style is... gorgeous.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like??? I love it so much!!!
.
STORY
Tumblr media
It obviously takes a LOT of inspiration from Japanese mythology. The main character is a wolf named Amaterasu (after the Shinto sun goddess). She is the wielder of the Celestial Brush (her tail, something my friend didn't notice at first) with a collection of techniques that, when you start the game, have been scattered across the land of Nippon among the gods to which she is the "mother" of. Gotta collect em all!
The pre-main menu video talks about the legend of Shiranui (aka Amaterasu's previous incarnation), a white wolf that helped Nagi (a fabled human warrior) defeat and seal the dreadful eight-headed serpent Orochi (based of course off of the Yamata no Orochi) that was eating the maidens of Kamiki Village year after year. Before this climactic fight, the villagers had assumed the wolf was another minion of Orochi--but then Shiranui ran in after Nagi like "yo worm catch these PAWS", and then strange miracles occurred that gave them the upper hand. Sadly, Shiranui's wounds from the fight were too great. A statue was erected in a small shrine to honor the wolf for helping save the village.
Then the game starts a hundred years later, when darkness was unleashed once more. The guardian wood sprite of Kamiki, named Sakuya, protected the village within a peach on her tree, and using the last of her power summoned Amaterasu back into the world. The goddess had weakened in her absence, losing many of her abilities, hence the player has to go retrieve them all to become stronger and defeat evil. (By the way, learned that the game director loved The Legend of Zelda games and, yeah, I can tell.) You don't say much, being a wolf, but you are joined by a little buddy named Issun, a traveling painter who is interested in acquiring the Celestial Brush techniques himself and so decides to come along for the ride.
And boy, is it one fun ride! A lot of stuff happens after this but, of course, I'd rather you play and experience it for yourself. Even if I'd love to ramble about all the different characters lmao
NOTE: It's a dated game, so it will have some tropes of the times and jokes that might not land well nowadays. I don't think it has anything horrible in it, but obviously your mileage may vary, so keep the ratings in mind before you decide to play.
.
GAMEPLAY
Tumblr media
Speaking of brush techniques! They're the power-ups and abilities of the game. You start out with the Sunrise ability because. Y'know. Sun goddess. But you acquire many many more throughout the game. Thirteen total techniques exist--plus upgrades! Moves like Power Slash, Inferno, Cherry Bomb, Waterspout, Bloom, etc. They're used for combat, transport, finding secrets etc.
There are other abilities in the game too, most you get by going to one of the dojos to be taught by Onigiri-sensei. Yes, this old man will teach a dog new tricks. AND! There are several weapons of three different types: Reflectors, rosaries, and glaives. Each type, and each individual weapon even, has its own playstyle and abilities--and you can have two equipped, with one main and one secondary, giving even MORE customization to your combat style. I used rosaries my first few playthroughs with the other two types as secondaries, though nowadays I like to mix it up; my friend mains glaive, with rosaries as secondary.
The way you enter most combats is by running into a floating "demon scroll" that wanders the overworld, which then spawns a barrier around a small arena filled with various demons. There's also Demon Gates, which are cursed gates that sorta sit there messing up the place until you run through it and trigger an unescapable fight. Clearing those up often cleanses the land and gains you rewards, or unlocks new areas, so knock em dead!
Boss fights, well, they're generally very obvious when they'll start. Most are behind save points or checkpoints, and have a lot of build-up in the game. You generally won't get caught off-guard, but saving often and with multiple save files is still a good tactic to make sure you don't get your tail whooped or accidentally miss something you can't get back to. (Says I, the spastic saver.)
.
RECOMMENDED? HELL YES.
This game was obviously something I latched onto as a kid, but I've replayed it from start to finish so many times because I truly do enjoy the whole experience.
The characters are interesting and fun, the plot weaves together a lot of smaller stories into the larger whole, and the art style and gameplay really caught my eye and still kind of wows me. The themes of the game involve a lot of duty, honor, loyalty, heroism, compassion, and faith (which, while obviously used a lot in the heavenly sense, since you're playing AS the deity, I always felt like ended up more as a "faith in your friends" kind of way).
And there are so many ports and remasters of this game that it's pretty much available to everyone nowadays! If you haven't already played this game, I highly recommend giving it a try, if only to run around freely as a wolf and kick some tail to save the world.
Tumblr media
Even if you don't pick it up though, I highly recommend looking at the art and listening to the soundtrack, because they are gorgeous even without any of the context! Some may have spoilers of course. But, there's a reason why this game was often used as proof of the argument that Video Games Are Art.

Day 5, Dramatic Rescue
These aren’t to be taken too seriously, I even put (crack) after the more ridiculous ones because I’m so benevolent. Some of these are very outta context, so don’t get worried if you don’t em lol- also, ignore any and all typos bc I didn’t proof read this, it jus came straight from tha dome to this post <3
-Whenever Sho laughs, he causes Asuka to laugh and vice versa- this has caused Manjoume so many headaches, he hates being in the same room as them when they get like that
-Placing a flat hand on Johan’s chest grounds/calms him down (making small circles helps too!) Johan is not conscious of this fact, but the rest of the friend group has picked up on it, half em knowingly, and the others unknowingly lol
-Kenzan is gay and trans, he also has an older sister
-Junko and Momoe don’t do anything dueling related when they graduate, and they also don’t get an influential job their parents wanted them to have
-The two have their own houses, but they end up staying at the other’s for weeks regardless
-Through a series of hijinks and shenanigans, Motegi, Taizan, Alice, and Kagurazaka end up going on wacky adventures together- they become good friends despite how they have almost nothing in common
-Judai once had a girlfriend during first year, but they were so unromantic and just hung out with eachother as friends, that they forgot they were even dating (crack)
-Kenzan and Rei are still best friends in college, they even went to the same one somehow
-Kenzan often helps Sho out at the dojo when he has time, and while he’s no longer on the path to becoming an archeologist, he still goes with Jim on any digs he goes on, or just discuss stuff about it lol
-Martin is genderfluid, that’s it, that’s the whole hc
-The only reason Martin’s dad was able to continue seeing him was because Martin convinced him to talk to his mom, and they all discussed when and how he could visit him (after alot of yelling and more fights) but his mom only budged because they never actually signed the divorce papers and Martin really wanted to connect with him again, and that’s honestly the main reason she even considered it (this is a very dumbed down version)
-Judai’s flakey with all his friends still, but he’s in contact with Misawa, O’brien, and Edo, in that order lol
-He’s mostly in contact with Misawa since he still lives in the dark dimension, so it’s easier for Judai to comfortably drag him along everywhere
-Asuka and Kenzan are the buff mom friends of the group- no I will not be taking questions on this
-Junko’s a whore and an adrenaline junkie, no I will not be taking questions on this either (this is more for when she’s older, but she did date around in school)
-Judai’s parents are actually very supporting and dot on Judai whenever they remember he exists- in fact, they’re very independent people, so they barely even see each other or call, so they also neglect each other lmao
-Edo likes to play matchmaker, but he’s actually good at being subtle, so no one notices-plus he doesn’t do unless he’s around the people in question, he doesn’t care to go out of his way (crack)
-Jim was the first person O’brien took to see his parents, and Jim was in awe that he didn’t take Judai first
-Asuka has to call Fubuki at night whenever her paranoia gets too bad, and she’s afraid he’s gone again
-Asuka also tends to overthink and overwork, so she typically has to write lists and repeat what she’s done during the day so she feels like she done enough to deserve rest (yea, this one’s not happy lol)
-Judai actually forgot his memories twice, the first time after the card contest, and the second time right before he left to the academy (I like to think his middle school and academy self are like two completely different people, just so we have another Haou on our hands lol- this can be considered crack)
-Hayato is the type to be constantly anxious about losing his friends, but never contacting them because the nerves make him nausea, and just downright feel bad
-Sho often calls Hayato sporadically just to ramble, Hayato enjoys them alot, and it reassures him that he can just call them and talk about anything (these two hcs are at constant war with each other) (Sho also knows that this helps reassure Hayato lol)
-After Ryo started distancing himself from Sho, he would feel so bad that he would talk himself in circles to Fubuki, and Fubuki would just nod along each time and be, “man, I don’t know what to tell you; either commit or go talk to your little brother”
-O’brien gives the best hugs in the group, everyone is delighted whenever he gives out the rare hug
-Taizan doesn’t have any powers, he’s just so strong that lesser duel spirits are attracted to him, and bigger spirits can materialize if they respect him enough lol
-Alice and Judai are siblings- this is never discussed with each other, they just are
-Kagurazaka is so embarrassed by his high school (and middle school) self that he ends up working at a friends bakery after graduating, and he likes to show off his analysis and psychological skills by guessing the customers orders and favourites lol
-Motegi and Judai are like siblings with too big of an age gap so they never really connected, but they still care for each other a lot-- y’know what I mean? Ya gotta know what I mean---
-Asuka is aro demi, that’s it, that’s the entire hc----
-Burstlady once set the red dorm on fire because she wanted to show off to Judai...by boiling some tea that doesn’t really need that much heat- anyways, she was so embarrassed that Judai just lied and said he wasn’t paying attention lmao
-Glow Moss is something of a cold blooded animal despite, y’know, not having blood- whenever they want to feel warm he just kinda sticks to one of the warmer monsters; they hate it when they do that because they’re like silly putty that’s just a little too sticky
-Sho is dyslexic, no one notices til they graduate
-After everything’s settled down, everyone has jobs, in college,etc., the crew plan big outings with each other and due to past experiences, Asuka or Jim have to be the “leader” when they go out because they’re the only two “actual” responsible ones- Edo and O’brien don’t care to keep everyone in check, Kenzan, Misawa(also, Misawa’s alot more lenient since he’s gotten older), and Rei are too easily swayed into doing stupid things, plus they forget to check on everyone, Ryo doesn’t even want to come to these, Fubuki encourages the others too much, and everyone else is too chaotic
-Whenever they can’t do these outings in a big group, they have to actually plan out who gets to be in a group together because certain combinations end in property damage or a restraining order
@gxmonth The group is a lot more goofy when they’re older while simultaneously more stressed lmfao

I love how Baki literally did nothing to em
Baki's face just looks wrong this isn't my beloved child
Imagine you are about to fight this mf and he just shoves his hand inside his pants
Chapter 9
This dude really looks like, fully japanese jack hanma
JWGWKEGWKSGE I LOVE HIM
I love how Spec just showed up dressed up as a fucking monk or something
Chapter 10
You guys know, Dorian reminds me of my now dead great grandfather, with the moustache look even more.
Not impressed, 15 yo Hanayama did the same when throwing a tantrum
He's so insane i luv him
Okay but look at the cut of that outfit look at how well it hugs his chest and waist but flows bellow... Spec my dude you could have been a mad good model 😐 he's even giving me gender envy! 🥺
I love how Baki used both his hands for the handshake
Chapter 11
Ho, speak of the devil, i was just talking of this fucker with Blood
Mf got so old
I like how there was no motive for him to be naked he literally is just Like That
Also it's from here that he got that wasp waist lmao
Mf just flexing at this point lmao
GRANDPA!! <3
Yanagi got cake
That's so unnecessary rude, obsessed. Also, as if you weren't old Yanagi. I see why they broke up now ;/
Chapter 12
11 and 12 are the same fsr
Chapter 13
I honestly wonder where these prisoners got their clothes, like, aside from Doyle that one time everyone else is never shown shopping or even owning money
Also i love the fact that on a daily basis i dress the same as Spec, that definitely says something bout me jagsjsgwhwfwg 😭
To be honest, considering the size of Spec's body, they should definitely feed him more
He didn't wash his hands 😢
Dick and balls too strong ajgshsgsg
I love how fucking, polite he is.
Oh i see, i thought he might have stolen a wallet or something but nah
Btw i genuinely don't remember shit JAGSKSGWJGS even if it watched the anime i forgot most of this
Chapter 14
GOD the way the anime butchered Katsumi, he's so handsome in the manga in comparison 😐
Also i like how they aren't explaining this like, Katsumi was the one who lost, did he wait until Retsu was okay to fight again in HIS ("") dojo?!
RETSU STOP DOING THESE SORT OF TRICKS THAT'S PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE AJDGSJSG
HE'S JUST BUILT DIFFERENT
Okay he actually explained, oddly nice of Retsu to accept tho
Hoho this scene hits different now that i know and like Katsumi
Also I'm not even gonna question where Doppo is, dude is never just around skdgksgd
Chapter 15
I love this genre of cover
WHITE BOY SJDGSJGSHS-
I love that retsu is just watching, he's still an asshole QJGSJSGWH
If i didn't know Katsumi I would say he died
I did actually think he had died when watching the anime
Retsu still has his thicc ass i see
Chapter 16
See all this makes sense now that i know retsu and the shit he has seen and been thru!
Angry lad, lucky his hair didn't burn
I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE HE EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE WITH HIS SCREAM
Chapter 17
Ahegao in the cover
I'm looking at the pages and I'm obsessed with Doppo being described as a "bold, badass karate master", it's so accurate <3
Also Igari being called eccentric, and the mention he defeated Mount Toba!! <3
Baki is slowly looking more like Baki
"my mother is dying"
Tasks keep failing successfully
Chapter 18
mAh boy...
That happens and it's the worst
Musashi you good boy 🥺
Chapter 19
Igari <33
That's insane
Chapter 20
I love that Igari looks legitimately worried and sad, not sweating tho
I love how he didn't have any serious damage until the punches like, okay.
Poor Igari tho
DID HE CHEW EM OFF OR SOMETHING? SHSHWGEGCH
Was anybody going to tell me is Sikorsky and not Sirkosky?
Also i love how legitimately scared Tokugawa is, probably more than when Yujiro picked him up
Chapter 21
The heights are so off in this saga
Oh my fucking god i didn't know Spec was 221
Either heights are all over the place or Yanagi is not 160
Either way HOW CAN YOU BE THAT SMALL? 🤣
GAFSFWEAD Tokugawa like "i own this place 😐"
Doyle is still the most decent one of the bunch
URSURSUTSUSTSRU
LOOK AT YANAGI DORIAN AND SIKORSKY ALREADY GETTING THEIR HANDS READY SBDGSHW
I googled how big Andreas from the tournament was and like, 2.40 😦
LET'S GOOOOO EVEN WITH A BEARD OMFG 😳😳😳
I see Hanayama descended into alcoholism after losing in the tournament. Also tf is with that bag? Was he hiking or something?
Jsgsjsgd Shibukawa is so excited too
I think this is chronically the first time Doppo appears with fully casual clothes, usually he either was in a suit or in his karate uniform
I'm straight up simping to the public now sgsjsgwhw
Chapter 22
LOOK AT THESE DUDES..... 💞
FUCK I WAS GONNA SAY THERE WERE MORE BAD THAN GOOD GUYS THEN LOOKED DOWN AND REALIZED THAT NO, SHIBUKAWA WAS JUST NEARLY OUT OF FRAME 😭
They all look so upset about that information
SIKORSKY NAME GOT SPELLED AS SILCOSKI...
Looking at them drives me insane i developed such a bond with all these fighters
I haven't seen Doppo this excited since last time his wife showed up
BAKI SWEARING?! 😰
How did Tokugawa grab Baki's shoulder?
ALSO WHY TF IS BAKI SO SURPRISED AS IF HE DIDNT GO AROUND BEATING UP PEOPLE WHEN HE WAS 13...
Don't worry Baki y'all will, Tokyo is not that big it seems
Shibukawa swearing 😨
"Imagine being mid but and Spec pulls up on you" "imagine having sex and she takes the mask and it's fucking Spec"
To be fair i would fuck a 2.21 muscular lady without going "hmmm this doesn't seem like a good idea..." in any moment
Chapter 23
I love how Dorian is just looking up
ACTUALLY ALL THEIR STANCES, Yanagi making dead eye contact with Gouki, Sikorsky with a firm pose just as Hanayama, Doyle with hiss chest up but eyes down giving a sense of pride, and, well, then there's Spec being Spec.
I like seeing Sikorsky having fun
I love Spec he played so smart SGSGSGS
😳 love wins!
Oh i had already forgotten about the dojo
Old man Dorian just has that effect on people
Threesome i see /j
He really was just fucking hiking i would love if they ever explained that ough 🥺
Did his facial hair just disappear?? STSGSFSD
BWHEKEGWJG THEY REALLY JUST FORGOT TO ADD IT FOR ONE PANEL IM OBSESSED
Such a good kick tho
The relationship these men can have is so oddly nice like not Doppo and Retsu specifically but all of the fighters in general. Like many of them barely know each other, but they all know their fighting styles and respect each other, plus have no reason to be in bad terms with one another and specially not now that they are all fighting for the same cause. It's just so nice to see em idk JAGSHS
Hey Igari.
Chapter 24
Thank God Doppo went <3 again it had been so long
Babe are you okay? You hadn't put a lil heart in your speech bubble for a while...
King really punched the fire
I will chose to believe that's true bc it's impressive 😍
You know it's funny like, Katsumi is mad good but he doesn't has as much experience as his dad and that leaves him in disvantage
Hehe i remember that guy
The manga is so much better than the anime ffs
I love that he didn't even realize
Chapter 25
Manga i don't think that's science
Also Baki just chilling with some doves lmao
I'm looking thru old messages see how my og reaction to this was
Huh i found nothing, that's odd. Well my reaction would have probably been like NOOOOO anyway so, y'all can imagine it
You left my dilf handless you fucking asshole good thing he has a wife
Imagine this dude cuts your hand and then just flexes his knowledge about science or whatever
HSSGGSFS THEY FIXED THE NO BEARD ERROR
Illiterate king <3
A guy did this to me once btw!!! Obviously in way smaller scale but he just touched something and the bleeding soon stopped!!!!
Honestly that's the most huge dick energy thing Doppo has ever done
Pfff I'm starting to remember why i liked Doppo so much 🥴
Bitches confused over him running away, tf was he supposed to do? He played it smart since there are no rules
Though yeah an eye and NOW a hand, insane
Chapter 26
Sjshhdhsn tanuki?
Oh, fox, he was calling him slick
Manga is pretty faster than the anime
Chapter 27
Where's your honor, Igari...
He is right sadly enough 😔
Oh i keep forgetting Igari's nature, he was probably trying to pull his silly little tricks again
This is just brutal honestly
Hehe this time i didn't get scared ☺️
I like that at least I'm not the only one who needs their mind off the gutter
Chapter 28
Love seeing em datin <3
He's so aggressive accidentally i love these dorks sm 😍🥺💞
SPEC FFS SJGDHWGW
Chapter 29
SPEC FOR FUCKS SAKE SJSVSJWGSH
Hanayama is such a real bro man
I LOVE THAT HE WAS JUST STALKING BAKI TOO BTW SJDGJDGDHSBDGDGS
To think i will still love hanayama but for entirely different reasons 😌
Chapter 30
Kaoru looks different but idk how
What the fuck is Spec even saying?
The fact that that makes no sense, i still love it a lot tho.
ALSO I ADORE HOW QUIET HANAYAMA IS WHEN FIGHTING
Okay Spec really has a point it really is beautiful
GOD I'M STARTING TO UNDERSTAND THESE CHARACTERS TOO MUCH I NEED HELP AJDGSJSGSHS 😭
But it's beautiful in the sense like, look how built he is! Look at all those scars!!! It IS beautiful it's a masterpiece!!!!!!!
"i choose to believe this is how hanayama always undresses" KSHSKDGSJ THE AMOUNT OF SUITS THIS MAN DESTROYS.. OBSESSED
Though yeah Hanayama in general is also beautiful isn't he?
Chapter 31
I would sob man look at him. Look at Shiba.
NO ONE RISKS HIS LIFE MORE THAN SHIBA YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE I STILL HOLD A LOT OF RESPECT FOR HIM!
A BENCH...
I really don't get why he's letting himself get hit, is he just flexing?
I cannot way to see him do his Technique ™
Chapter 32
Manga is so much superior to the anime, like, i haven't complained about Spec even once bc he isn't annoying anyone, in the anime he was so infuriating!!
I love when they just steal their standing poses sjsgjssgsh
That distortion effect so good
Chapter 33
I still think it's weird they used humans and not machines, though it was effective
I love how Spec managed to punch that statue without calling the attention of much people that's impressive
And i love that he keeps saying man he sounds like me with bro
Hanayama my beloved
Chapter 34
Yeah I'm not reading all that 😐
Oh this explains the holes in his clothes

Yesterday I binge-read Thrawn By Timothy Zahn (2017) by Timothy Zahn. Rambly collection of thoughts:
Fun overall. Kind of sparse on the actual descriptions of the battle scenes, though.
I really like this take on Thrawn where he keeps having slightly more down-to-earth casual-tactical-genius moments than he did in Legends, and his viewpoint-moments where it actually shows how well he's observing everyone and everything around him, while also being flagrantly and openly a total dumbass when it comes to politics.
Several characters: "The Empire's working on this SUPER SECRET PROJECT that's using up a LOT OF RESOURCES and we DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS --" Me: "It's the Death Star, isn't it." Thrawn: "Tell me about the Death Star." Me: "YES"
There were no fewer than two Zahn-patented "Angry Young Woman With A Chip On Her Shoulder"-s. However, they were unusual (from my admittedly limited experience) in that neither of them was a Career Criminal Living On The Margins Of The Galaxy Who Can Murder You Eight Million Different Ways; instead, one of them was a one-note Imperial captain who is only present for like two chapters, and the other was a younger version of a villain from the Star Wars Rebels canon.
Zahn even manaaged to work in a version of H'sishi, the cat-furry from Legends's Hand of Thrawn duology. This version, however, was a dojo instructor, rather than an Angry Young Woman With A Chip On Her Shoulder Who's A Career Criminal Living On The Margins Of The Galaxy Who Can Murder You Eight Million Different Ways.
I feel moderately weird about reading stories centered on die-hard Imperials, I guess. I kind of want to watch Rebels now just so I can see these assholes actually get defeated.

“After The Fall” rambling thoughts -- Spoilers
Finished the latest book. Took my sweet ass time cuz it’s the only RWBY content I’m gonna get til the actual series returns. I’m mostly gonna go over characters and the shit that I care about.
For one, I think the book was overall better than the first book, but took longer to get off the ground. Let’s talk characters and teams.
Headmaster Theodore - an absolute unit and I love him. Show boater and hard headed through and through.
Rumpole - She’s pretty cool. She’s got the Midas touch that turns shit to gold. She’s the voice of reason to Theodore.
CFVY - About as expected. Minor insight into Velvet’s past with her dad. Fox is still as troll-y as the first book. Yatsu hasn’t really changed much from the first book. Coco’s insecurities are still worked on, like seeking validation from her elders like Rumpole.
SSSN - Mixed feelings. Sun’s character felt like it was being attacked but I guess it only appears that way because Sun hasn’t really interacted with Sage and Scarlet in the show as their real relationships weren’t really explored until now. Sun’s an idiot but he looks like a bigger idiot in this book. Scarlet got a lot of time in the book to explore his feelings. Most of his anger towards Sun was that he was a crap leader that always does what he wanted without much regard to his team. Sage was basically non-existent, freaking Nolan from BRNZ got more development than he did. Neptune is basically the same from the show but we get insight to his fear of water in that he couldn’t control it and nearly killed his brother with it.
CRDL - M.I.A. They either went to Vacuo or they didn’t.
ABRN - Words cannot describe how happy I am to see that ABRN is in Vacuo. The prospect that they are coming back in the future volumes excites me! Fan imagination of ABRN seems to be close to the mark. Arslan is strong, serious, no bullshit type of leader who has to look after her dumbass teammates (hence the whole mama Arslan). Reese is brash, happy-go-lucky but pretty bad at everything not related to fighting. Bolin made a brief cameo and Nadir was MIA. I swear to god if anything happens to this team like the next team I’m gonna cover, I will quit RWBY.
BRNZ - Welp. Redheads, or other shades of red, aren’t safe. Everyone on the team except Nolan was killed at Beacon. I had a theory going on that they got separated during the attack and a majority of them got killed with like 1 or 2 surviving. I was mostly right, I just wasn’t right on who the survivor(s) was (you can guess who I was rooting for if you look at my past works). Surprisingly, Nolan got some decent character development, short, but enough to make you really feel for the guy -- even though he ran away from Beacon. The details of his teams fate wasn’t covered, so take it what you will. Nobodies dead in my eyes until there’s a body (unless they get disintegrated right in front of your eyes). Would’ve liked if they touched on how he managed to make his way back to Vacuo but maybe in the future if there’s gonna be another installment. I’m still salty af that May died.
NDGO - This team got me feeling all kinds of things. Volume 3 didn’t show them at the Battle of Beacon because these THOTs just dipped right the fuck out. I thought Nebula was the nice girl of the team seeing that small interaction with team SSSN but nah, she’s a total ass hat along with the rest of NDGO. The only character that has any chance of redemption is Octavia simply because of the interactions she’s had with Velvet. If anything, Octavia is just tsudere af because she seems to tolerate Velvet enough and is willing to work with her and even expresses some concern. If anything, NDGO seems to be severely misguided like the rest of the Vacuan and Shade students which I’ll touch up on briefly at the end.
Carmine - Bertiliak - Carmine still is a really sassy a-hole and I surprisingly liked Bertiliak even in his limited time. He’s still an asshole, but he’s straightforward and blunt and was willing to help. Even if it’s either out of sympathy or convenience.
Jax - Gillian - the real baddies of the series. Jax is a manipulative, power hungry, greedy psycho which goes in line with his semblance of Mind Control. Gillian has the ability to siphon aura and augment others. She’s kinda got Jaune’s Semblence except she can siphon and transfer aura to herself or any individual she wants. These two’s heads are so far up their asses it’s kinda baffling. Gillian’s whole shpeel is that she loves oni-chan and Jax manipulates her to his plan though, granted, Gillian even stated she’d do anything for him anyways.
Other Characters - Eh, they’re just sorta filler for the whole re-initiation debacle so not much going on with em.
Vacuo - Vacuo in general is pretty xenophobic. They hate everyone that isn’t Vacuan. They despise Atlas the most and some shun the use of Dust and any technology used by the 3 other kingdoms. The scars of previous generations exploiting Vacuo actually show pretty well. Built way better here than the whole Faunus racism narrative in the actual series. Vacuans have a hard time moving past all the bad shit that happened to their nation and aren’t keen to outsiders making themselves at home or helping them. This makes sense as to why NDGO and practically no one from Shade stayed to defend Beacon. It isn’t their fight and are under no obligation to help defend the other kingdoms because of past scars.
Conclusion: Lots more world building, definitely would recommend the book to fans. Lots of characters who haven’t been seen in-awhile are coming back. Don’t expect to be blown away by the story which is mostly serviceable. Would’ve liked to see more of Sun’s past and the “Dojo” involving his cousins and also would’ve liked if they didn’t make Sun that much of a dumbass. Sage being sidelined sucked as Scarlet seemed to get quite a bit of love throughout the book. The book bouncing between a bajillion character perspectives made it pretty confusing and under developed the arcs they had going on. Even in book format, RWBY’s expansive character roster is still a crutch for writers. I still liked it overall mostly because of character interactions and the world building so I give it an 7.5/10. Those 2.5 points lost is because May is dead, but unless there’s a body, she ain’t dead to me.

More Nationality HCs
People seem to like my headcanons for the main ninjas so now, on to the supporting characters. When I headcanon them as Asian, I don’t mean just East Asia. There’s more to Asia than just China, Japan, & Korea and those places need more representation. Enough rambling. Time for the headcanons under the cut.
Dareth: Japanese/Persian (or Iranian, whatever you prefer)
The Japanese part is from owning a dojo obviously. As for the Persian part, Iran has a very strong record in martial arts and frequently scores very high in such events in the Olympics, Asian Games, & other competitions. I can imagine his family were very successful martial artists & he wants to live up to their legacy.
Pixal: Indian
Again, Pixal probably doesn’t have a nationality/ethnicity due to being a nindroid but this is based on my interpretations of her if she were human. I imagine the purple marks on her body are mehndi which originated in India & she would sometimes wear a sari over her left shoulder. Also, the blade she has in the Rebooted sets kinda resembles a sapola, an extremely rare sword also from India. I now have a headcanon that it’s also a weapon that exists in Ninjago which very few have mastered. So far, Pixal is the only known person who can fight with it.
Skylor: Central Asian (I’m leaning towards Kazakh but whatever rocks your boat)
This is probably a shallow reason but I headcanon Skylor as Central Asian because of her hair color. Red hair is often associated with the British Isles but is believed to have originated in Central Asia. Again, I would love to see some more representation of Central Asia in media.
Ronin: Filipino
Ronin has been called a bounty hunter and the only two countries where that occupation is permitted is USA & Philippines (but I could be wrong). That’s all for him.
Brad: Singaporean
I know Brad is a minor character but since he’s the same age as Lloyd & Harumi and we see the latter grown up, I’d really like to see him again and see how he & Lloyd would interact. There was that time he admitted he liked growing flowers & Singapore is called the ‘Garden City’ so it matches up.
Next time, I’ll give my headcanons for the EMs.

I love,,,,, domestic lava au... You should do more of it. I'd love to know more about reka and monty too!
BWAAA...
Okay as I said it’s an au with kittie (6kuro) so I’m gonna grab the things it said and I said lmao
warning its a LONG disjointed post bc im too tired to make. a good post fdhghdf
lovelypeaches08/28/2019cole and kai would settle down real late like....in their late thirties because they want to keep their children as safe as possible, being elemental masters and having enemies and all
at first wu wants them to fight longer and shit but hes OLD so who cares and theres probably conflict on thatbut kai and cole are old enough to realized they dont have to be controlled
so they get married, symbolically if anything, because they've been dating for probably a little over a decade now and known each other even longer, AND been living together for the same amount of time
theyre the first of the ninja to settle down, and they buy a small house in a village thats maybe an hour away from ninjago city
the tininess of the house is made up for by the largeness of the yard, where cole likes to garden, especially fruits and vegetables
cole works as a stay at home free lance artist, doing stuff like commissions, book covers, comics, etc for moneykai does something that puts his charisma to use, probably something in business that lets him advertise and talk a lot..he could never settle down for a stay at home job or anything, even with all his thrilling ninja stories
they have enough money from donations and awards to thrive off these jobs, and ninjago probably pays them kind of like retirement
cole cooks for kai so he always has a meal ready when hes home, so then kai cooks on the weekend
anyways, they have two kids, about 3 years aparti haven't figured them much out yet, but kai and cole cook and bake with themcoles parenting style is very protective and rather spoils them, while kai lets them do whatever as long as its not immediately dangerousthey balance each other out well, so their kids grow up loved and well rounded
lovelypeaches08/28/2019coles always buying them sweets and treats and Kai pretends to be annoyed but thinks its really cute
the kids go to a small school on the outskirts of ninjago city, and get asked about their parents a LOT. they kind of like the attention but it gets irritating
moving on to the other ninja who also start to settle down,jay doesnt really want kids, so he passes on his powers with ~science~ or something, but only when hes a lot olderhe does engineering at borg industries or something, and he messes around a lot but gets away with it bc hes the blue ninjahes like kai and coles kids Fun Uncle, since he lives in a big apartment in downtown ninjago city, with a bunch of cool techkai and coles family often take elongated road trips therejay thinks hes a cool relative but besides being super lenient hea actually kind of embarrassing lol
nya settles down a bit later than the rest of them, because she wants to live her ninja days to the fullesti could go on about my domestic samurai au but her and pixal have a kid who gets nyas water powersnya is much more eager to train her kid than cole and Kai are (they want to start properly training thwir children when theyre like 16, much to wus disappointment)nya doesn't force anyrhing on her kid but she doesnt protect her kid from the fact they'll have to train sooner or latershes determined on still changing the world, so she's a strong political leader, with innovative ideas who doesnt approve of ninjagos government and wants to change it for the betterShe also lives in downtown, but isn't as fun as jayher kid is younger than kai and coles, but kai and coles kids look up to them because they're very independent and skilled! their mom is also super cool, but not in a silly way. she rocks leather jackets and drives her kid around on a motorcycle
lovelypeaches08/28/2019zane is tricky for me...i like to imagine him sticking with lloyd to being a ninja or whatever, since hes going to be alive a lonnggg timehe also wants to respect wus wishes, so he teaches students and fights alongside lloydhe does so much less however, and finds a lot of time to visit his friends
kai and coles kids are shy around him at first, him being a nindroid whose still a ninja, but hes so much nicer and softer than expectedhe always brings them presenrs and enjoys quality time with them, so he's basically their favorite uncle
now lloyd continues his master training, to become the next master after wu dies. hed be the one to guide the next generation of elemental masters as well as their parents in training thembut don't worry, he gets a break too, since the other ninja help him out. hes much less burdened then wu was in the later years of his lifeok thats all i think
My commentary now
little boy whos like 3 and super wide eyed and excited and loves pink (when he foudn out zane at one point had a pink gi he asked if he could get one too)older girl around 6 whos a big daddys girl and loves to garden with cole and make mud piez
the little girl is the fire em - she had temper issues linked to autismz which they worked through her with early and never thought of it but she has a big passion for gardening they mistook for elemental connection when rly she just LUVS IT
little boy is em of earth - hes a natural born leader and stubborn, wide eyed and excitable. again bc they worked w both their kids about their tempers and such they never realized he was just naturally good at keeping his composure. also a lot like jay keeping morals upnaturally strong but both their kids are and i hc the super strength doesnt come in until peubertyz
shes a bit of a late bloomer with em powers but one day their little boy accidentally makes a pot hole inside the kitchen bc he was excited over zane cookingthey took too good of care of their kids and his true potential was simple bc he was a litol kid which was im going to live my best fcuking life with friends and family *rips a hole in the ground
kai and cole are the gross sappy parents that trade kisses n their kids are like thats DISGUSTING youre DISGUSTINGLY IN LOVE
Kittie pointslovelypeaches08/28/2019YEAYEYAYAYYEYAYAYEoh god the little boy is part scenecorelikenot full on scene but like punk y2kwhich is a part of scenealso at first cole and kai are super concerned being a ninja will be as mentally damaging and ack as it was for them at times, but lloyd and zane are genuinely good mastersbutnot to get sadbutwhen tragedy does happen somehow, since neither Lloyd nor zane can ease that, cole and kai are so good at helping their kids e thatthey help them recover from it without downplaying their kids concerns and feelings amd give good advice and loveand make being elemental masters a lot easier for their kids than it ever was for them
me again.....
they always get so fucking scared thokai custom makes weapons for themarmor too he spends hours upon hours making sure its perfect and even prays over them to keep their kids safe
anyway when kai n cole visit w them (idk if theyr just adopted at their current age or like.... adopted as babies or surrogate or?? idk but) they visit lloyd and kai softly says "Look! its uncle lloyd" and lloyd starts SOBBING hes just fucking bawlinghis eyes out and when kai offers to for lloyd to hold him lloyds just like are you suure arre eyyuuu thherye so smsmm all kaiii are yoruur suureee thheyrey babbeises
nya is hesitant but ends up being a really good aunt, i meanshe took care of kai /j
zane is a fav uncle and hes always making sweets for them jay is. also sorta a fav bc where zane comes jay follows and jay has a sweet tooth and also makes Cool Toys + hey wanna prank your dadsalso im dramatic and likekai and cole sitting down and having a convo about master wubc he was sorta a shitty mentor and they really REALLY dont want their kids going through any self confident issues nor over stressing bc theyr KDISeventually kai and cole talk to master wu and actually has wu face his terrible practice towards kids and wu accepting he was.............................a bad 'parent' in a senseblebleblelelelelelellekai works but cole absolutely watches over any training when wu is there at first but lloyd is the master now and lloyd is like..........................i dont want kids to go through what i went through kai is like i trust you but also i will murder every single one of you in this dojo if you ever hurt my little girlim doing what i do and taking an au and running im sorry ghdghdfhJACK RAMBLES....their son refuses to wear shoes he lieks dirt on his feet they never really think much of it but its actually really comforting for him to feel the earth under his feet and feel stablethey think its just a stim thing maybe? theyr unsurebut! turns out him Element(also a fear of heights)lloyd tries to be a serious master but hes a big ol goof and can easily be manipulated
ironically.......its the lil boy who often is like HEY!!!!!!!!!!! WE GOTTA TRAIN!
kai and cole agree not to tell anyone what theyre thinking of naming their little boy until he arrives so when the day comes kais holding this tiny little boy and holds him out gentlyand lloyd is already EMOTIONAL because this is a BABY and lloyd softly asks his name n cole cuts in like "hes named after a really brave dude, montgomery. but we're thinking monty as a nickname"lloyd, choking up:(hc garmadons first name is montgomery)
the girl is Reka which means sweet in maori (a personal headcanon for cole) and shes their sweetheart
lovelypeaches09/04/2019bhrnrng this is in domestic au but col and kai teachign their kids instrumentscole and reka wud play piano duets togetherand monty doesnt like instruments much but he likes to singlike a LOT he belts out a song for everythinghe just lieks his own voice
burdletutt09/04/2019HNGGG HFHMONTY LOVS BEING LOUD

#metoo? Groomed By My Karate Teacher
This one's probably gonna be long and rambly. It has taken years for me to even realize how much was wrong. I thought I was content with my conclusions, but apparently I'm still kinda stirred up about it, so I think it needs to be worked through some more.
When I was 15 years old, I started taking karate with three of my younger brothers. We happened to be buying a couch at a garage sale around the corner from our house and the guy had converted his garage into a dojo. He was in his 40s, was a 2nd degree blackbelt in taekwon do, and a blackbelt in kenpo although he said he couldn't prove that because his psycho ex girlfriend burned his certifications in a fit of rage. (Idk how well that story holds up, but he did know his kenpo, so.) He was close to home, not super pricey, and focused almost entirely on self-defense, which was what my dad was interested in. My brothers were required to join, and I, being a girl, was given a choice. I wasn't sure how far I'd go, but I knew I was gonna feel left out if I didn't give it a try, and I was thoroughly impressed by this man who told my dad and I, as he stood on our porch delivering the couch, that he specifically felt it was important to teach females how to defend themselves, and in fact he liked teaching girls better than boys because girls don't automatically think they know how to fight when they don't.
I don't remember too much about my first class except that I loved it, and that he totally buttered me up. I mean, I felt (/was) stupid and clumsy as all get-out, but he said as were leaving that I had natural talent. I was hooked.
I got better, some friends joined, we all teased and laughed all the time...I felt like what we had as a group was special. He pushed me harder than I had ever been pushed before, but it never seemed like too far. Which made me trust him. He made us feel like we were the real deal and no other dojos were worth a flip--he made fun of all kinds of things, like certain ways other systems tied their belts, pullover uniforms tops, sport systems...I know I felt so lucky. I became the head student and my brother Nathan was kinda right under me--we led warmups, helped teach the lower belts, our instructor consulted us on other students' progress and test scores, and he frequently talked about his dreams of opening a big town dojo and my brother and I teaching there after we became blackbelts. I never had intentions of continuing martial arts after I earned my blackbelt, but I didn't want to disappoint him, so I didn't say much and figured we'd cross that bridge when we came to it.
He and my dad became good friends. He came over for several holidays and when we joined a new church, he even attended my younger brothers' baptism ceremony despite not being a Christian. But our friends who had joined the class, two families, quit suddenly at around the same time.
--Everyone else in the class got birthday "treats" like, "Oh you're turning fourteen? Spar with 14 people in a row." "Oh, you're turning 15? Get in a horse stance so we can all line up and kick you in the thighs 15 times." Not me--I got presents. He gave me a volume of the complete works of Jane Austen, an apron handmade by his mother, and a gi top also handmade by his mother with lapels customized to my belt color which she changed every time I passed a belt test. He made a big deal about sparring scores. He said none of us should ever expect to get a 5, because 5=as good as him (which we weren't). I'm terrible at sparring by the way, I always end up a slobbering, sniveling mess by the end. I got an underlined 5. I KNOW I didn't earn that 5. Oh, and then he gave me a belt. Yep. A belt. Some lower belts were testing that day. There they stood, on the mat, waiting for their belts and certificates. Teacher came out. Called me up with them. There I stood, in my denim skirt, as he handed me a red belt. (Equivalent of 4th Brown in taekwon do--since we were doing a tkd/kenpo mashup he played with the ranks a little) He told me it wasn't honorary--that I would still be earning it, but he...wanted me to have it early because I was a good teacher? Yeah. Charmed my socks off though.
-In spite of having mocked sport karate ever since we began training, he started talking about some of us competing. My brothers did a couple of times. I had no interest at all. But he pressured me until one night, in the warm after-class atmosphere I loved, I gave in. He cheered loudly, and I was so proud to please him, but I felt sick to my stomach that night getting in bed, because tournament training is a huge commitment for weeks before the event, and I literally had zero interest in any part--the training or the competing. (I'm not a competitive person.) I felt (on a small teenaged scale) like I had signed my life away. I talked to my parents though, and they said I could change my mind, and I hated telling my teacher (who was very gracious about it) but I did, and I was SO thankful my parents allowed me to bow out. Now, looking back, I am even more thankful for it. I feel like that was a significant moment in my relationship with my teacher and if I had allowed myself to succumb to the pressure, he would have had complete control. I do remember one dayI regret-class was just me and my brothers.I was pulling punches, so my assignment for the next day was to randomly punch my brothers. I did, until Dad got home from work and said no, that was ridiculous. I still feel awful about that day.
So at 17, I got engaged to be married, in a year-long engagement during which my fiance would be completing his sophomore year of college in another state. He was mildly uncomfortable about my karate training, I think we both agree he was feeling overprotective out of ignorance, haha. So my dad invited him to watch a class to ease his mind. It didn't. In fact he says now that class is what made him really concerned at all, because when he met my teacher, it was like when two territorial male animals do that glare of death thing. My teacher clearly gave him major "stinkeye." And my fiance left with predator-alert warnings going off in his head. After I got engaged, my teacher's behavior towards me did a complete 180. No more of the cozy, "dojo-family" vibes, no more joking and teasing. Pure professional karate instruction. I was trying to make blackbelt in 1 year instead of two, so it was definitely crunch-time, but his change in behavior was much more than that. I was hurt, honestly. I remember a class conversation before the shift in which we were all discussing a news story in which a martial arts instructor had taken advantage of a female student, and we were discussing the trust in the student-teacher relationship. He said something, I don't remember if it was in the article or if he was describing another story, about a student in that relationship trusting their martial arts instructor so completely that they would jump off a cliff if he instructed them to. My brothers and I all scoffed, and he said, "Now wait a minute. What would you do?" He spoke in a cautionary tone, and I left chilled because when I thought about it, I did trust him so completely in a way I didn't trust anybody else, because of how well he knew me--how my body worked, and how my brain worked too. How he always seemed to know exactly where my limits were, and when to push them/when to let up. The bond was stronger than I knew for sure I liked.
So when he suddenly stopped the playful familiarity, the affectionate hugs and, "darlin'"s, I did feel hurt. And when his girlfriend moved in with him and we stopped going (my parents didn't approve), I hated the instruction we switched to. I felt like we had lost that one-of-a-kind atmosphere that was so much more than karate. My martial arts world was drained of color and life.
Through the next years, my feelings are what convince me more than anything else I've mentioned that I was being groomed. I wasn't "in love" with him, I was completely head over heels for my fiance/husband. That wasn't the issue. But I thought about him constantly. I invited him to my wedding and was disappointed he didn't come. Every time I went to town, I hoped to run into him. Every time we passed a motorcycle, I checked to see if the rider was him. For years. If I still lived there, I think I would still check motorcycles (not hoping anymore, but it's THAT automatic for me). That's so scary to me now.
Then I started talking to my friends, the other women who had been in the class. Two families had left suddenly, and I knew they had a problem with our teacher but I didn't know what. It turns out, he acted inappropriately with every one of them--one he pretty much stalked, showing up at her house repeatedly, despite being asked not to. I remember him showing up at one of our homeschool park days, but of course I didn't know how inappropriate he was being, I was just pleasantly surprised. It ended when he visited her house one too many times. She gave him an ultimatum about disrespecting her boundaries, and he told her students and instructors shouldn't have boundaries. They never went back.
I suddenly remembered the photos he had of former students on his wall when we first joined. He said they were a family a lot like ours, but they had suddenly up and left.
I also remember having a reoccurring nightmare throughout my time training in his dojo. In the nightmare, I would be attacked at night in an alley. I would execute my self defense technique, but it would suddenly be as if I were underwater. My moves in slow motion, with no strength.
I check his Facebook every now and then. He is an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, and at one point his cover photo was that famous quote, "Grab 'em by the pussy."
Most recently, I've realized I can't roughhouse with my (5 and under) children without starting to panic, and wanting to curl up in a fetal position and cry. I've been through other traumatic situations since then, so I don't know if my karate teacher gets all the blame for that, but I do know it has been deeply troubling since piecing together his character to realize those two years I so valued, those techniques and self-discipline I thought I would be able to use to protect myself and my little brothers or my children, were all taught to me by someone undermining it all by worming his way past them all.
So, #metoo? No, thankfully, but it could have been me. I was directly in his sights, and nobody, me or my parents, or anybody, had any idea.

Mindset & Planning
Sun’s up what’s up everyone and welcome to episode 2, of the The Struggle.  A podcast where different types of entrepreneurs are struggling to have a business, start a business, or get out of their day job from their side hustle.
If you guys don’t know me, my name is Walter, and I am a videographer.  I own my own video production business, mostly in weddings, but I am also a freelance videographer for Fox Sports San Diego, and an editor for a popular YouTube Golf Channel.
If you guys haven’t heard the last podcast, no worries.  Like seriously it’s fine.  It was just the introduction and I was really just trying to get my head around podcasting.  But as a quick reminder from the last, I basically said that there are three types of entrepreneurs and those are the gunslinger, the gambler, and the safety net entrepreneur.  All have similar mindsets, but in different ways of approaching entrepreneurship.  In order for me to explain that further, I will interview those different types.  Like I said in the last, I’ll be talking to a rapper, photographer, hair and make up stylist, and a dojo instructor.
One of the other additional things I will be talking about, is myself.  Specifically how I got to where I am.  And today, I will be talking about a section of it.
So if you’re listening to this in your car and commuting, or at work, maybe on your computer.  Relax. Take it easy.  It’s going to be good.
So where should I begin...Uhhh so let’s back this up about 10 years ago.  I would be around 24.
So imagine a filipino kid, and I mean it, I was somewhat of a kid.  I was living with my parents.  Playing video games, going to college but honestly not caring, and have a part time job, spending that money on cigarettes and texas hold em.  Yup.  I had an addiction in gambling.  Now a lot people really don’t consider that a disorder or any kind.  But let me tell you.  My emotions would run rampant, playing cards.  I loved it.  It was basically my escape from my actual life.
I had not a lot of savings.  More like $300 on my name, and about $5-8k in debt.  I was basically an idiot.
To be honest, I didn’t have a lot going for me.  I didn’t like what I was doing, and I didn’t care, which caused a good amount of laziness.  Now don’t get me wrong, I was a good worker.  I had fun at my work.  But long story short, I just didn’t have motivation.
Cut to 5 years after. And that was huge 5 years.  I had a change.  A big change.  I won’t go into huge detail just yet.  But let’s just say, it was an eye opener.  During those years, I had a change of heart about who I was, who I don’t want to be, and what I needed to be.  So my mindset changed.
I was 29 just about going to 30.  And I decided to get a full time job, and go to school at night to finish my degree, in Computer Science. at May 25th, I promised myself that I would be a better person and now, I do that every year as a check.  Like checking myself.  Where I was before, what I did this year, and what I can achieve now and into the future.
So around 2015 I forced myself to save money, get a roth or 401k, pay off all my debt, get my Bachelor’s Degree in Comp Sci, and get myself my dream car.  Which is a Subaru WRX.  Which by the way, if you guys don’t know this, I’m a huge anime nerd, and I watched Initial D, and that’s where I saw the WRX as that, being my car.
I did all that in 2 years.  So, with a mindset shift, I was able to achieve a lot of things when I really put my head down.  Now during these 2 years, I hung out with an old friend of mine.  He was an entrepreneur, and so was his girlfriend.
They were explaining how they were being their own boss and they were getting paid to do what they wanted to do.  I was, and I’ll admit this, completely and utterly jealous of that.  I wanted that.  Like, I wanted to get paid playing video games, or get paid to eat at restaurants like a foodie and give reviews, or even be a YouTuber and get paid to do that.
And that was when I got into Videography.  I watched people on YouTube and people on Instagram doing their take on filming.  And yeah let’s just do a tangent, so like back in the day.  My friends and I would film each other.  It’s called Neighborhood Ninjas II.  You can find that on YouTube, actually don’t that’s incredibly embarrassing. I loved filming, my dad had that VHS camcorder that was a shoulder mount thing that’s heavy as hell.
It was an idea.  That I can do that filming too.  And thinking I can do that.  Maybe not as well as the guys online, but let me try.
Anyways, I don’t want to go any further than that because that’s when my journey to be an entrepreneur began.  But the point of me talking about my story is mindset and planning.
I know, we hear that on Gary Vee, Andy Frisella, or any person doing any self-development books.  But if you think about it, mindset and planning go a long way.
So let’s say you have a goal of, I dunno, having $1000 in the bank.  And you get a paycheck of $500 every 2 weeks. So sure you can say you can save $1000 in a month.  But guess what, life hits you. you need to pay off your cell phone bill, rent, gas for your car, insurance for your car, groceries, hanging out with friends, 24 hour fitness, and of course your $10k credit card debt.  I’m getting kind of angry because this was me when I was 24.
Anyways.  Out of all that, you can sacrifice everything.  You don’t have to pay rent if you live with certain parents, you don’t need to have a car so you won’t have to pay for gas or insurance, you don’t need a gym membership and you can go running outside, and if you live with your parents you have free groceries.  Or you can not have a cell phone.  But no one wants to do that.  I mean really, think about that.  Imagine not having any of that. No rent, cellphone, car, going to get groceries, hanging out with friends, no gym. Nothing.  Nada.  Almost sounds like prison.
Anyways, with a plan, you can do that.  You can have $1000 in the bank.  Figure out all the expenses you have for the month.  See how much you have left instead of buying shit the day you get a paycheck, and then calculate how much you can save, and calculate how much you can have fun.  You can only save $20 a paycheck?  Cool.  That’s going to be 25 months til you get a grand in your bank.  $100? Dope.  That’s 10 months.  That’s what planning is.  But that is not the only plan.  You plan to have money in the bank, buy things that can benefit you or for fun.  As long as you have the mindset that goes along with that.
So I know I didn’t really talk about mindset as much, but I know plenty of people that I’ll be talking to, have a better explanation than I can ever say about it.
Oh yeah, and there’s also another big thing I haven’t talked about yet as an entrepreneur.  Every type of entrepreneur has a type of struggle.  What I found out from my 4 years of becoming one is this:
1. Financial Stability
2. Competition
3. Time
I haven’t explained that all in full.  But that will be in another podcast.  Anyways, I hope you guys liked this.  I know I was kind of rambling but hopefully you got some sort of value out of it.  And I’ll talk to you guys soon.  Take it easy.

Mycroft Holmes
Ominis Gaunt
George Weasley

3,500 follower celebration
Okay, so I promised I would do a Build-a-Fic for my celebration and you guys did not disappoint! I said I would take 8 (because I have a ton of stuff I'm already working on) but I've ended up taking 11 because I am a weak person who loves these characters far too much.
Anyway, here's what you've got to look forward to...
Tumblr media
for two anons.
Tumblr media
@roseblue373 wanted some angst and I can already tell this is going to hurt.
Tumblr media
@the-abyss-gazed-back I went with young Remus and I am already grinning like an idiot about this one.
Tumblr media
@minigirl87 wanted some fluffy Poe and I am here for that.
Tumblr media
@intense-socks requested my favourite BAU member and I have to say that drunk Spencer may be one of my new favourite things.
Tumblr media
@morby is going to kill me by making me write angst for my boy. This hurt just to find the right title.
Tumblr media
@achromaticerebus wanted angst with Mycroft and that's what you'll get. Don't say I didn't warn you all.
Tumblr media
A lovely anon stopped by and asked for my boy Steve, and of course I will write him in tooth rotting sweetness.
Tumblr media
@justagirlinafandomworld wanted fluffy Clint, and it's been a while since I wrote him so of course you're gonna get sweet grumpy cat.
Tumblr media
@princessmisery666 AND @witchygagirl were on the same page when they requested some of my favourite Winchester, so I've combined their request and it already makes my heart happy.
Tumblr media
@royalydamned and @savvy-devine666 also had similar ideas, so you're getting a little college Mycroft fluff. It's gonna be soooooo soft.
I will tag the usual suspects from the tag lists, so keep an eye out for your favourites from the list above! AND a massive THANK YOU for following my ramblings.
