My Heart Hears You (Part 1)
Another HS Bros related story!! Again, if you want to know more about my AU and such, you can check out my channel or send me asks! I'll be happy to respond!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------Time: HS Years; Bros are in 9th, Bowser is in 10th.
Setting: Bowser's Castle. Work room.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
The previous night was a rough one. Not just for Luigi, but for Bowser as well. Due to Bowser's low grades during his freshman year of high school for his science class, he had to be held back in terms of his science classes. Unfortunately, this meant that he ended up having to share a class with Luigi. Mario was there too though, which made the class not as boring.
However, things got worse once it was revealed there would be a group project as the final exam grade. While Bowser hoped to get Mario, he mainly was hoping to just get anyone but Luigi.
And yet, his wish did not come true. Luigi and Bowser were stuck together.
While Bowser found it annoying, Luigi found it terrifying. Not only did that mean Luigi had to spend more time around Bowser, his main tormentor, but he also knew Bowser would likely do none of the work. Luigi would have to do it all, like always. It wasn't anything new to Luigi, however. During his time at high school so far, whenever he's had to do something group related, he'd always end up doing all the work (unless, of course, Mario was in his group; then they'd share). The only thing Luigi was worried about now was the fact that Bowser would likely pressure him more during it. That ended up being the case.
The day before the group project was due, Bowser 'kindly' requested for Luigi to come to his castle. This was so they could finish the group project, and also so they'd be left alone, away from Mario and Princess Peach.
That way, Bowser could do what he wanted without being caught.
As Luigi had predicted, Bowser made Luigi do everything himself. The group project topic was essentially up to the group. The group had to pick a random topic, and they had to teach the class about it. Luigi decided to pick the topic of brine lakes; the idea of certain water being underwater intrigued him.
Bowser was not as impressed. He didn't really like water that much. He felt it was too cold.
During the time spent at Bowser's castle, Luigi did the best he could to work on the 'group' project. All while Bowser continued to pressure him. The main things Luigi was working on were both the trifold board, as well as on what he and Bowser would say during the presentation. Essentially, he had to come up with not only an entire essay, but he also had to work on the design of the trifold board that would somehow visually represent brine lakes. Luigi tried to make the trifold board have not too much information that would be boring to look at, but he also did his best to make it look somewhat visually pleasing. Unfortunately, Luigi was not the best at art. Mario was more skilled in that department. What he lacked in art however, he made up for with his essay. He had such a way with words.
Unfortunately for Luigi, he had a disruptive partner. A partner who also kept asking every 30 minutes if he was 'done yet'. Additionally, this partner continued to get more and more bored.
"Are you done yet?" Bowser asked, annoyed.
"I'm s-still finishing up the essay..." Luigi responded.
"Ugh, do we really have to do that whole thing?" Bowser groaned.
We?
"I mean, it's water underneath water," said Bowser. "What's so interesting about that? It's just there."
"W-Well, actually, the brine contains high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide and--"
"Ughh, who cares??" Bowser groaned even more. "Why is that important??"
"Because they're toxic to marine animals due to their high salinity and anoxic properties," Luigi answered.
"In English," Bowser asked.
Luigi would take a deep breath.
"If you touch it, it gives you a toxic shock, and could possibly kill you."
Bowser would go silent.
"...Woah," muttered Bowser, taken aback. "Water can do that?"
Luigi would nod. While the topic of brine lakes did intrigue him, the main reason he actually wanted to do a presentation on it was to warn people. They could be dangerous.
"Well, i-if the pressure from being so low down in the water doesn't, then...y-yeah," Luigi responded timidly.
-To be continued...-

top 5 albums of 2023 your followers need to listen to
Ooh I love this question, ty 🖤
My top 5 albums of 2023 that I want everyone to listen to, tentatively (since there's a LOT, lol), and I know I've already talked high praise of many of these lol, are...
Lead Into Gold -- The Eternal Present. I've gushed endlessly about this album, but my adoration for it cannot be understated. Paul Barker outdid himself; he's been responsible for and/or involved in some of my favorite projects of all time long before now, but admittedly it was this album that really made me reevaluate how much I've almost taken for granted his artistry. It is such a lovely, uniform piece of art from beginning to end, I could go on and on about how excited I am by the composition, but I'll just leave it at: It is an AMAZING piece of modern electroindustrial from one of the legends of the genre and it is worth a listen. Song recommendation: "The Final Blows."
IAMX -- Fault Lines1. IAMX has been one of my favorite artists since, like, 9th grade, but this is another case of IMO an artist completely outdoing themselves. Chris is an amazing musician but Fault Lines takes things up a notch IMO with a whole new level of heaviness and intensity, experimentation, masterful modular synth work, vocal expertise, and the dark, sensual theatricality he's so iconic for. I seriously think this album potentially ushers in a whole new era for him, it's PHENOMENAL and I think everybody should check it out. It's technically an EP, so it only takes like 30 minutes to get through. Song recommendation: "Disciple."
DIN -- Up. Something more obscure, love for local icons in the LA scene. Greg Vand is the second member of High Functioning Flesh and this is his project with his wife Josie. I love their work and I think "Up" is so delightful; it's got a weird, dreamy, dancey electronic feel that alternates between synthpop and something more techno/house. I really love this release and I really loved getting to be there for the release party, too. Heavily encourage checking it out if you're looking for brand new music from a smaller artist who really deserves the attention. Song recommendation: "Try."
Male Tears -- KRYPT. A culmination of the past year or so of dancefloor hit singles, "Krypt" comes together as this extremely explosive gothic darkwave / alt synthpop / EBM blend that just so successfully captures the Los Angeles dark alt scene right now. I think everyone should listen to this album, it's so strong and so fun and just totally to die for. Song recommendation: "SLEEP 4EVER."
Sextile -- Push. Sorry for being from LA and for loving electronic music, but "Push" was suuuuuch a standout release for me. Unabashed party music, blend of a sort of throwback 90s/2000s sound while still being very fresh and very clearly stemming from the dark electronic scene, I love the amount of genre bending that Sextile did here. Inspiration from EDM and rave / house music, electropunk, classic EBM, trip hop, drum and bass, just such a love letter to doing lots of drugs while dancing with strangers. Song recommendation: "Plastic."
There was SO MUCH good music in 2023 and I feel a little bad not diversifying the genres more here, but what can I say 🤷♂️ I love weird electronic music it cannot be helped.

What was private school like? I'm assuming you don't have a basis to compare to a public school (and those vary drastically depending on where you're at in the world/country/state/or even within the same city) but maybe you do have thay comparison.
Just curious maybe even to what kind of classes were offered? A school is a school but there has to be something to set a private school in a different category or why would they exist.
💙
I got insecure and googled it, and according to wikipedia a more accurate name is charter school as tuition was free. The admittance is on a first-come, first-served basis.
But it was still different from public school, which I did go to. I started charter school in 6th grade and then went to a public high school afterwards.
My specific charter school is called Kunskapsskolan (knowledge school) and surprisingly, out of 80 schools, only 36 are in Sweden. (Apparently, they have schools in the UK, USA, the Netherlands, India, and Saudi Arabia. Although Wikipedia uses the word sponsored for them so they might not operate the same?)
Anyway.
It was a very individual learning plan; the subjects were split into steps and courses. You had a step goal for the step subjects since that was completely under the student's control, and then a grade goal for the rest as the course classes had group projects, while music, art, and phys ed were weekly classes.
The classes in another province were home ec, wood shop, textile shop/sewing, and engineering. Engineering tended to be part of the courses. I only chose sewing once, and that was the time I didn't go lol
For those classes, you had two classes each day; one subject before lunch and one after.
The rest of the year, you planned your schedule each morning in a logbook and then your homeroom teacher had to sign off on it.
For the step subjects (swedish, english, modern language, math), there were workshops hosted by teachers if you wanted to be able to ask for help. Otherwise, there were computers or group rooms that you could use to study on your own or with classmates.
For the course subjects, there were obligatory lectures and seminars.
Every fifth step, you had to show your work to a teacher, and there were certain things you had to do in class, so planning your schedule was important.
Of course, this whole step system meant that you could skip school very easily. You just had to be back for homeroom at the end of the day, and not miss any obligatory stuff. I took some very long lunch breaks and afternoon breaks.
And it was very easy to use the computers for other things. I wrote a lot of fanfiction for a certain magic school fandom, made games using powerpoint, and went on forums. I also wrote a lot of poetry during this time.
There was also one year that I had a lot going on and just fully skipped phys ed, but never got told off, and I also got a passing grade. (This coincided with the year that one of the math/science teachers was also teaching phys ed, at least for my class.)
Oh, and my homeroom teacher married the music teacher. The above-mentioned year, she was on parental leave. My class and the music teacher's class got to see their home in 9th grade. They had made a quiz where each answer was a student; I was the answer for a question about Alice in Wonderland.
(Each grade had 4 classes, I was in class 2 and the music teacher was responsible for class 4. The labeling was grade-class so I was in 6-2, 7-2, 8-2 and 9-2.)
Other fun facts to throw in is that the school used to be a mental hospital. There was a locked building on the grounds full of old hospital beds and stuff, but the windows were blocked so you couldn't really see in. I had a friend in the grade above that was a medium and said the school was haunted.
My class had a sleepover at the school in ninth grade, as our fun graduation thing.
Oh, and there was a yearly, student written musical. I never ended up being brave enough to participate but they were fun to watch!

When I was in highschool, art class was my favorite with computer class being a close second. In 9th grade I was so excited to be able to spend an entire hour dedicated only to art. My teacher didn't like me, I don't really know why cause I wasn't an asshole kid and was mostly just quiet. I suspect it was because I wore death metal band shirts and she was heavily christian, but I don't know.
Every single project I did and turned in, it was an instant fail. I mean every one, not even a D mark, everything was a failing grade. I began to think maybe I just fucking suck at this but still, it was the only class all throughout highschool where I didn't miss a single assignment. The kid that sat next to me that year thought it was bullshit and even he asked her about it and she said I just simply didn't meet the required expectations. That solidified it, I'm just terrible at this.
Until one day, the same dude - suggested we switched projects for the turnin and see what happens. I thought it was dumb and it would just ruin his grade but I agreed, and the exact same thing happened. Teacher marked "my" project with an F and marked "his" with an A. I couldn't believe it, I still don't believe it. That someone in a position of power like that would just fuck with a kid for zero reason other than disliking them.
I wish I could tell you that I was motivated to continue art out of spite, but something about it really ruined every aspect of it for me. Despite our little experiment of swapping projects, that year ruined every perception I had of my capabilities. I stopped drawing completely, I barely painted, and anything I created I kept to myself. The idea that I would ever show anyone else things I was working on was insane, so I kept it to myself for the next 15 years. Every great once in a while I'll maybe post what I consider a shitpost equivalent of something I made, but for the most part everything else is destined to live covered in dust away from the world. & Having any piece that is associated with me and not just some random weirdo on the internet? Not happening ever.
I'm trying to change that about myself, in some sort of symbolic sacrifice I took this final project we made in that very same class, which mine was a large ceramic pumpkin, and about a year ago I walked outside and just fucking smashed it against the ground. I saved it all these years sitting in my closet but I fucking resented it. I hated associating with it, I hated that teacher for making me feel that way. I hated even more that I thought about her while she probably has no recollection of who I even am.
I'm still kind of unsure about publicly showing off things I've made that can be associated with me. But for the last 2 years I've been creating, and I've been enjoying it. I've been showing some friends my poster designs, I've sent a few discord strangers my works in progress, I even entered a competition a while back. I didn't win, but it isn't the point.
I'm just kind of mad at myself for spending all those years doing almost nothing at all, but I'm over it. I bought a new notebook a few months ago and it almost never leaves my side. A step forward is a step forward, no matter what cunts try to block your path.

11. Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?
Actually, yes, absolutely. Character wise - I've had a long-standing idea that I've talked about here before that, as a side result of people writing stories around their OCs instead of the other way around, they end up with a character who is just not a good fit for the story they are telling or the narrative they're trying to craft. And we all know that in fandom specifically people really project or get really attached to a specific character or really struggle with showing them in a potentially negative or difficult light, and it's extremely detrimental on the actual story that they're telling. Your DnD character can be great for DnD and it can, occasionally, be really bad for a story.
And of course story wise sometimes you really do just need to scrap the entire plotline and start over. I've killed a lot of scenes or subplots. I don't edit as much as I should, but when I do it always involves a lot of rewriting. If you're hitting a block where you are, you probably need to backtrack and see what isn't working. And you'll probably have to cut that. But never delete anything! I never erase an entire scene, i just stick it at the end of the word document or put it in a different one. Everything gets recycled or massaged into something else. I rarely have to full-out kill a darling, just rework it.
35. What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens?
All three people have asked me this and my answer is so bad, I don't know any writing rules, I don't know writing, nobody's ever told me anything, :( :( :( :(.
Thinking on it further, maybe I do have one thing to say about it: my 9th grade theater teacher was incredibly pretentious (nobody cares that you went to Yale, man) but he did say two things that stuck with me. One was the fact that, before you break a rule, you really have to master the rule. You have to really know how to play by the rules before you deviate from the rules. I hate the guy, but look at some of Picasso's stuff from when he was a teenager - the man had absolutely and 100% mastered the technical skill of art so young, and it was only once he did that he went back and broke every rule of art. Breaking a rule you haven't mastered is just ignoring stuff you don't like. I see a lot of people on Tumblr talking about breaking the rules from a philosophical or ideological level, but generally speaking I'm not certain that's always the best approach.
I don't know a lot of rules, but I actually do try to rigidly stick to the ones that I do know. Because I'm not a master, and I'm not better than the rules!
Thanks for the ask!
#my writing#have you ever really loved a cartoonist's cartoony style and assume that It's Just How They Draw#and then you go and see some of their more srs stuff and their art is actually fucking gorgeous#sometimes it takes a lot of technical skill and precision to make something that looks bad#or cartoonish or simple#writing isn't about flexing every flex you have it's about finding what works the best + sticking with it#I'm actually capable of much much much nicer and 'prettier' prose than I write#which is why i try so hard for un-literary writing. i can write literary i just dont want to.#simple and smooth and minimalistic 80% of the time or bust

Ask game - 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 25
[a lot of questions, sorry xD but I love those, they're good ones]
4. Fav character/subject that's a bitch to draw
Kyo, I would love to draw religiously symbolism-esqe stuff with him and Elijah cuz he's The Bitch that really twists the story up in reverie but I gotta know who is outfitter is why so many belts? Why the tubes? the weird ass accents and cloak, uuuggghdhjghgh
5. Estimate of how much of your art you post online vs. the art you keep for yourself
Maybe more than 50 I keep to myself, most are doodles without context but I think maybe thats pushing it cuz I did do a worstie without context doodles
one day I'll make a post abt them and the aus I have with them (also general aus for shield hero I've made lol)
6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)
Hmmmmm off the top of my head I think Belos from TOH considering most of my characters are brunettes with their eyes leaning to blue, another one is just ben tennyson and his overall personality and body of being a twink with an ego who is also extremely self sacrificial altho it differs how much depending on the type of character I actually want and ofc their age
8. What's an old project idea that you've lost interest in
I had an old story called Terminal something something and the mc was a nonbinary kid who was secretly related to an ancient family of warriors that now has to fight the ancient evil that's abt to come back, but is the evil really so evil?
Think of Tales of Arcadia's Trollhunters, Randy cunningham 9th grade ninja and jack long
Say hello to Piper! there were also going to be a set of weapons that get collected over time that cast use but they didn't seem like weapons. For example Piper's was a mask that turned them to the Sun Warrior (able to use it bc of their family blood) and another example is a vase that controls wate! A mirror! A book that has people and things sealed within it able to release said thing and control it with a key! and a painting! theres more but I don't want to have this be too long
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw
PUFFY SLEEVES AND SKIRTS/DRESSES
I love love drawing elaborate lavish dresses
these are old but still hold up well with what I like to give my characters if ever there's a ball :p
11. Do you listen to anything while drawing? If so, what
Alot of different things depends on the vibe sometimes I listen to classical music esp while animating or doing a piece that's "classical" yknow oooorr esp when it's abt my fave duo
The Worsties Playlist
or hannibal edits on youtube bc hannibal fans have such a way with music and the lines they put in there inspire my characters and art
25. Something your art has been compared to that you were NOT inspired by
hmmmm I think once I was told my style looks like early 2000s animes like full metal alchemist and ok the story and writing yes but the style I wouldn't say I got inspired by it esp considering my coloring being akin to stuff like cyberpunk and arcane lol

7 & 12 for art asks?
Kiitän!!! :D
---
7. A medium of art you don't work in but appreciate
Hmm. Probably anything to do with handicrafts, so anything from fabrics and sewing to working with wood/metal/clay whatsoever. It's so cool that some people own skills for creating new pieces of clothing (either for everyday use or for e.g. cosplay etc.), or just art or usable objects from other materials.
I myself am so bad at making anything with my hands if it doesn't involve a pen. At school I was so bad at the... mikä kettu on tekstiilityö enkuks? Anyway, I never really got behind knitting or sewing or anything like that. I could do the mandatory stuff at school but often poorly or by finishing maybe 1-2 out of all the numerous projects we had throughout those 6-7 years (on the 3rd grade we had one half working with fabrics, and one half working with wood after which we could choose which one we wanted to take for the rest of the comprehensive school aka until the end of the 9th grade). I think my longest project was this snake plushie. We had to knit something on the 5th grade, and I decided I wanted to knit myself a snake plushie! Which would be as tall as me! I was ~150cm short back then and I decided to knit a 150cm long snake, how difficult could that be? Well, in the end I worked on that for 2 years both at school and "at home" (maybe for like 11 minutes in the whole 2 years), and I never finished it and it only got hardly 10cm long. So, yeah, I've never been good at anything to do with strings or fabrics.
With clay I have worked a bit more at school as well as art school (a hobby after school once a week for about 5-6 years), and I was never really a fan of that either. I still have some of those old clay objects at my parents' house or here at my own place, stuff like a small container or a toothbrush holder (it was a sitting cat and I actually used it at some point). But other than that, I just never really liked it, and clay is really difficult to work with unless you know what you're doing. Which, I did not know what I was doing.
So props to anyone who can work with these mediums and actualy create something decent!
---
12. Easiest part of body to draw
Eyes!!! I am obsessed with drawing eyes, I don't even know why it's so much fun but it is. Sometimes I get distracted from the human eyes and end up drawing animal eyes... but usually it's human eyes :D Nowadays I can even draw individual eyes without references, which is interesting. Human body is impossible to draw without references unless they're for my comics.
Here are a couple of very recent eye doodles - and one older, as a treat:
The former two are drawn from references (the first sheet is from last year) without sketching anything at first, it's very relaxing to just work with the fineliners. And the third one was a part of my which-is-the-best-order-for-these-art-supplies test, as I needed to find an order that causes the other mediums to smudge the least or none at all, and still the fineliners (Micron) would stick on top of the coloured pencils/watercolour (pencils). That one was the last one of three test eyes I drew and it turned out the best, so I didn't include the rest. (Lmao it actually rhymes, and for three times in a row XDDD I did not plan on that lol.)
Ja huomasin just et lol osaan kirjottaa. Siinä pitäs lukee PYYHKÄRI :D

The Forgotten Shounen: Katekyo Hitman Reborn
This is not a “Why you should watch/read khr” or anything like that. This is just me going into the deep dive and throwing my findings at you. I’m making this because khr used to be my favourite series when I was 15 (I had plushees, posters, tradingcards, the art book etc) and now as an adult I constantly find myself baffled at how unknow it seems to be.
1. Okay first what is khr?
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! or just Reborn! is a series by Akira Amano which was published in Weekly Shounen Jump from 2004 to 2012 (with 42 volumes) and got an anime adaption which run from 2006 to 2010 on Tv Tokyo (with 202 episodes and one OVA).
2. What’s it about?
Khr is a parody of the italian mafia and plays in a world where the mafia is heavily influencial. The protagonist is the japanese middle schooler Sawada Tsunayoshi who is known as “No good Tsuna” because of his failing grades, general weak and cowardly personality and weak physics.
He becomes aware of the mafia world when a 2 year old baby called Reborn arrives at his house claiming to be the greatest hitman and declaring himself his home tutor. Reborn was send by the 9th head of the Vongola famiglia who is ready to retire and looking for a new heir. Which of course, is supposed to be Tsuna and now it's Reborns job to shape him into a worthy sucessor.
Tsuna rejects the violence of the mafia world and refuses the position as the 10th. Thanks to Reborn and his general craziness Tsuna meets different people and starts to make real friendships. Reborn wants 6 of those friends to be Tsuna's future guardians, basically a group of people which will be closest to him in the vongola famiglia. Tsuna might have no interest in those positions but the friendships he builds with them become really precious to him.
Reborns arrivial also brings in the enemies of the Vongola family which leads to Tsuna being forced to engage in battles. Generally Tsuna openly avoids fights and prefers to run away but will put himself in danger for his friends' sake or because of something Reborn did.
Through out the series Tsuna matures and gains strenght but he never becomes a power fantasy. He's just a guy with many flaws who grows through the human connections he makes.
Personally I think the relationship between Reborn and Tsuna is one of the best student teacher reltaionships in all of manga only topped by Mob and Reigen from Mob Psycho 100. Especially the last arc really underlines their unique relationship to me.
Furthermore, khr offers a new and unique battle system: The flames. I'm not gonna go into to too much detail but the general idea is that one fights with their dying will flame which basically turns off your the savety switch so you can fight with everything you have. The flames are seperated into different categories such as: sky, storm, mist, rain, sun, lightning and cloud and have different attributes asigned to each one. Tsuna's use of the sky flame and his transformation when using it is still one of my favourite shounen transformations to this day.
3. What happened?
The series did really well and then not so well over the course of its serialisation. After the manga got an anime adaption it increased in populairty and video games, light novels, and other products such as CDs were created based on the series. Reborn is one of the best selling series of Weekly Shōnen Jump and has sold around 30 Million volumes overall. It was and still is very popular in Japan but rather unknown in the west.
According to the article "The Rise and Fall of Weekly Shonen Jump: A Look at the Circulation of Weekly Jump" khr was the 10th bestselling series in Weekly Shōnen Jump, with a total of 7 million copies sold in 2007.
This number increasing to 15 milion in 2008. Which placed khr into the 4th best selling series of 2008 in Japan.
Between 2008 and 2010 those sales declined but still kept strong with khr as the 6th top selling manga in 2009, 8th best selling in 2010 and then 24th best selling in 2012.
In November 2014, readers of the Da Vinci magazine voted khr number 17 on a list of Weekly Shōnen Jump's greatest manga series of all time.
After the anime came to an apprupt stop in 2010 for unknown reasons the manga sells took a visible hit. (Apparently the studio wanted to put the anime on halt because they were busy with other projects and give Akira Amano time to develop her story but I couldn't find any source for this claim) Furthermore, the rushed last chapters of the manga in 2012 declined the popularity of the series even more. There's no offical statement as to why the manga was ended in such a way but it's reasonable to assume that Jump either cut it considering the decreasing sales or Akira Amano choose to end it for personal reasons.
Nontheless, Tsuna not being included in Jump Force (a fighting game where you can play as different characters from Jump) in 2019 even tho he made it in earlier Jump Stars games also underlines the decreased interest in the series.
Rumors on a reboot or anime adaption of the last two arcs surface from time to time but are genereally unlikely. Artland the studio which made khr has gone bankrupt around 2015-2016. It might be taken on by another studio but rather uncommen especially with such an old series.
4. Art style
The khr anime ended over 10 years ago and the old art style might not be appealing to newer audiences.
Especailly because the anime adaption follows Akira Amanos old art style which heavily developed within the years. Here a picture comparing characters in the new art style:
A modern anime adaption in the new art style would be aesthetically pleasing. It would probably look similiar to Psycho Pass since Akira Amano did the concept art for this series.
(My personal art student hot take is that both art styles are unique and fun. Up to this day Akira Amano still has my favourite art style and even if the amount folds in the characters clothing is a little extreme I love it dearly.)
5. Criticism
The show is not without flaws and even if I greatly enjoy it it wouldn't be right not to adress them.
Daily Life Arc:
A lot of people view the first 20 to 25 episodes as fillers and quickly lose intererst in the series. This is due to the fact that Akira Amano inteded the series to be a gag manga and focuses the first chapters on world building, character introduction and comical narratives. It's rumored that the decision to develop the story into a battle shounen was made because the sales weren't doing well enough at first. So the first chapters/episodes may seem titidious but are necessary for the story and the development of the characters. The tonal shift from a more gintama like gag manga to a darker battle focused story can also be offputting to some viewers.
Either way a lot of people blame this arc when discussing why khr never got an english dub or didn't end up on Toonami. I've also read that the manga never finished serializing in the north america. However, it finished in other western languages like german and spanish.
Censoring:
The anime censors A LOT. From Gokudera's smoking habit, Yamamoto's whole character arc which deals with heavy themes such as depression and suicidal thoughts. The general bloodiness of the manga was censored and sometimes whole chapters and characters were left out even if those were important to the devolopment of others.
Filler episodes:
Out of the 202 episodes the anime has around 29 filler episodes which makes roughly 14 %.
Sexism:
Even if Reborn was written by a woman most female characters are rather flat and their storylines often tied to a male character in one way or another.
Genereal things:
Khr, like many other long running series, is sometimes criticised for a lack of world building or unpopular narrative choices.
6. Hope?
Khr isn't exactly dead. As stated before the series is still very popular in Japan and still gets new merch pretty regulary. There are also petitions floating around for a reboot or a new anime season but those never get a lot of traction. Furthermore #Reborn2期アニメ化 (#Reborn2ndAnimation) used to get some traction on twitter not too long ago. Last year the Anime News Network did a poll on which anime the readers would like to see a rebooot of and khr placed second.
Either way here's a collection of recent khr things I could find.
- In 2018 a new bluray set was released in north america
- The khr stage play reached yet another new season
- A mobile game was released last year
- Currently ongoing anime cafe event called "Concerto di Vongola"
- Last month there was an event with the former VAs and stage play actors where they discussed their favourite khr episodes.
- There has been an increase in blind reacts to the openings on youtube which might bring in a new fan base. The biggest one I could find had around 90k views and was made in 2019. On this note check out the soundtrack. The first openeing Drawing Days by SPLAY still makes me go insane (but I'm biased of course)
There also renewed hope for a new season/reboot because Shaman King, Inuyasha and Bleach got anounced for new seasons after a long hiatus. It's important to keep in mind that the circumstances for those series are differnt tho. For example bleachs new anime is often tied to the immense success of the gatcha game.
7. Conclusion
Khr is a series which used to be a flagship for Weekly Shounen Jump and is deeply beloved by it's fans, especially in Japan. It influenced other shounen series like bnha. It would be nice to see it gaining a bigger fanbase in the west :)

Hannah! I know we talked like 30 mins ago, but still happy to see you in my inbox! 😊
Fun meta asks for writers
1. Tell us about your current project(s) – what’s it about, how’s progress, what do you love most about it?
So, as of now I am sharing the one I am currently writing. Its a multi chaptered horror/psychological thriller fic (@delirious-and-slightly-murderous says it aint much horror but lets see 🤷♀️) based on a bollywood movie with my own twists.
I have currently written about 20% and am planning write it all and then post it 2 or 3 days a week.
I never, EVER see horror movies cause I am too much of a chicken 😆 so exploring THIS genre is what I love the most about it.
8. Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?
Depends. Sometimes I am in a mood for smut, sometimes I just want plain old fluff and sometimes I want something to blow my mind away. That being said, I always hate angst.
12. Do you want your writing to be famous?
I am very private person and only comfortable with the people I know. So.... not really?
13. Do you share your writing online? (Drop a link!) Do you have projects you’ve kept just for yourself?
I dont keep projects for myself. But, as for my writing stuff:
Sixth Time's The Charm
The Club Isn't The Best Place to Find A Lover (So the ball is where I go)
Chasing Butterflies
There you go! 😊
20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)
I would love to answer this one!
Okay, for this we will go by the order of the stories linked above:
1. In sixth time's the charm, the names of Andrés' 1st, 2nd and 4th wife are deliberate. Esperanza means hope but her actions render Andrés hopeless. Lucia is supposed to mean light but her actions push Andrés in the dark (aka he doesnt come out from his room for days). Dulcia means kind but she turns out to be the most two faced manipulative bitch.
Irene Ruiz is a direct referance to Irene Adler in the sense they both outsmart the male protogonist.
Also, the reason Andrés falls for his wives are the VERY same reasons for his divorce.
2. For the Berlermo AUgust fic, I got the basic insipiration from a gay Cinderella comic art. Then, I took some inspiration from MCU fics to see how bussinesses worked.
So, Tokyo being the lead of Snake Eyes is a direct referance to Ursula Corbero being the female lead of that movie.
The idea of fake dating to get press off the back came to me from an MCU fic I read.
@delirious-and-slightly-murderous has made a poster for this fic which is so nuts that I don't know whether to laugh, get flattered or offended.
(Bestie, if you are reading this, post that one! It will be a fucking riot!)
3. Chasing Butterflies has a lot of hilarious trivia.
The first incident was something that happened in my 9th class (or grade whatever you call that). I was Denver and the accused did get sent out 🤣
My favourite part was the food fight. I was laughing so hard whille writing that.
This entire fic was inspired by the 5th snippet where they ACTUALLY chased butterflies. I told @delirious-and-slightly-murderous once that Pedro and Rodri were SO immature that they needed a babysitter or they would be off chasing buttrflies. And this is how the idea for this fic came to me. Manu loved this idea and said, quote, "Write it! This will be bonkers!"
In the 4th snippet, I accidently wrote it in palindrome. It was supposed to be only Martín's POV but it didnt seem right, so I changed it. I only realized this after I posted this. So, it starts from Andrés' POV, then Martín and ends with Andrés' again.
And THE most craziest thing? I wrote this WHILE I was competing at a swim tournament!

I'm nervous that there has always been a redemption arc for Jisung up your sleeve. I say nervous but that would be some good ass angst. Goodness Woo's revelation in this last vhapter was so sad, poor woo has been suffering with that all alone :(
Also the revelation about y/n using that enhancement ring to her advantage on a whim god how sexc 👁 kind of hoping it WAS always Hongjoongs idea from the beginning. I mean he did immediately have that tracking device 🤔
Also the fact that you write so much and so well inspired me and I sat down and got 1.5k written on a chapter for a fic that hasn't been updated in waaaay too long so thank you (chpaters at 4.5k, hoping to add a lot more before posting since it's been so long but I'll make sure my readers know they can thank you for being such a badass writer 🤙)
Side note in 9th grade I was working on an art project in a different class and one of my classmates came up and called it badass and I'd never heard the term before so I couldn't tell if he was calling it bad or super cool so I just stared at him until he walked away lmao
--rolypoly
im not at liberty to say what my plans with jisung are, but i can guarantee that it will be a satisfying thing for sure, however that satisfaction manifests! as for wooyoung, the implication there is that yeosang knows what happened and had been making efforts to make wooyoung believe that it truly wasn’t his fault, and there are more layers to that and why wooyoung was so adamant about not believing him but it is something he’s been suffering with alone since that argument with yeosang, made worse by no one but yunho making an effort to talk to him
im really finding the whole spread of reactions to that revelation with yn quite interesting bc i expected lots of people to be mad at her for doing so but im finding that you guys actually really liked that she did that which is exciting to me for sure bc i was hoping you guys would side with her!! for now we can’t really know what hongjoong’s original plan was, but i think the one of the next two interims (whichever comes out first) will help shed a bit of light on it!
but also im so happy you could sit down and write towards your own fic like !!! omg !!! i know the PAIN of a long break between chapters and how dismaying it can be but look at you GO im so proud of you bestie 🤧
i love your side note this is such a beautiful story and 100% something i would think as well LKJDGFLJKDLGFKLJK

So after nearly 22 years of life on this planet, I’ve come to the conclusion that I am high functioning autistic. I believe I fell through the cracks of an early diagnosis for the following reasons:
1.) I am Female (I learned how to mask myself very early on)
2.) I have a gifted IQ (above 130) and was classified as such in 4th grade so no one considered that I could be both ASD and intellectually gifted.
I am in the beginning stages of unmasking and am currently seeking an official diagnosis. Right now, I’m trying to write down everything I know about my neurodivergent experience so here’s a list of things I’ve experienced and believe to be relevant. If you can relate or you understand please comment and share! I’m new to this community and it feels so good to finally meet people who understand and can relate. Ok, Here we go.
“So the general population doesn’t memorize scripts to movies or watch the same one every day for a year?”
“People think it’s weird that I prefer to have subtitles on when I watch stuff, even though I don’t have damaged hearing”
“I watch movies with subtitles because I won’t understand what’s said if I don’t read it. I have no hearing issues.”
“I cannot hear/understand someone if I have one ear bud in and one out. Too much sensory input at once.”
“I thought I had a hearing deficit because I literally could not understand people at church or parties or other places with a lot of background noise, and I was so confused when they told me my hearing was normal.”
“I love star wars. Not just love but I could tell you what planet each character is from and what kind of ship they use, what model droid that one is and I will gladly talk about it all day if you let me. Everyone now gets me Star Wars stuff for my birthday and holidays”
“Eye contact is so uncomfortable for me that sometimes it ‘burns’ to maintain it, but then I overcompensate and stare too intensely. Over the years, being female, I’ve forced myself to make eye contact for a certain number of seconds and then look away a certain number of seconds but I’m concentrating so hard on that, that I don’t remember anything that was said to me.”
“Giving me verbal directions is a special kind of hell. I need it written down.”
“I can memorize pictures of things and exactly where every kid sat in my 10th grade US history class as well as my 9th grade geometry class.”
“I never fit in anywhere, in my childhood, most of my adolescence, except the swim team and my new church.”
“Team sports are the worst. I can’t communicate fast enough, I’m bad with hand eye coordination and keeping track of a ball. I excelled in individual sports and fell in love with swimming.”
“I often found it much easier to make friends with older kids because I could have intelligent conversations with them and their good social skills could make up for my lack of social skills.”
“But, I had a few friends that were considerably younger who I could still play imaginatively with dolls when I was 13 and one particular friend was 9. I had a lot of trouble getting a long with her sister who was the same age as me.”
“It physically pains me to hear someone mispronounce a word, spell something wrong, or make a grammatical mistake. I corrected my cousin A LOT when we were kids, she frequently got mad and I couldn’t understand why. My grandma would tell me to stop because correcting people is rude.”
“One of my special interests as a kid was dolphins. I was 5-6 years old and I remember being so excited when my mom let me check out like 10 books from the library and I read them quickly and multiple times.”
“I corrected a teacher one time about dolphins. She said dolphins weren’t whales and I knew FOR A FACT that ‘dolphins were a type of small whale’ because I read it in one of my books. She laughed at me and so did the rest of the class and I felt stupid even though I was right. This led to me suppressing my knowledge and real self and ultimately more masking.”
“As per that last one, my memory is impeccable.”
“I had another special interest in dogs when I got a bit older. My mom bought me a book with every kind of breed of dog, where they came from, their temperament, their size, everything. I can still, to this day, tell you the breed of dog just by looking at it.”
“I always wanted a best friend but never had one. I had groups of friends but never someone who would call me their best friend. When I got a boyfriend in high school, I was so excited because he called me his best friend and he was mine and I finally had that feeling reciprocated. He also had a gifted IQ and dyslexia, ADHD and a few other things so we understood each other quite well.”
“I can’t tell if someone is flirting with me because I can’t read between the lines. I also don’t know how to flirt because if I like a guy too much I get soooo nervous and I stumble over my words and it’s a disaster.”
“When I liked this guy (last year, 2019) I would freeze up so bad when I talked to him that I rehearsed every conversation I wanted to have with him so I wouldn’t mess it up. I would write topics in the notes section of my phone before hanging out with him so I’d remember what to ask him. It made for very awkward and forced conversations and probably drove him away.”
“Sarcasm and jokes almost always go over my head. The boyfriend I had in high school was very funny and outgoing but used a lot of sarcasm and it always caused disagreements because I took him seriously when he was being sarcastic.”
“I talk slowly and very monotone.”
“I have no difficulty reading in my head and can read/comprehend it well, but reading aloud is difficult and I often stumble over words and mess up.”
“I need directions repeated multiple times before I understand.”
“I went to the beach to hang out with some church friends yesterday. They all play spike ball and are so confused as to why I sit there and don’t play. I’ve tried playing spike ball but it involves way too much hand eye coordination and I’m so bad at it that it’s embarrassing. So I don’t play.”
“That same night, a group of them said ‘let’s play uno!’ And I was so happy to play something familiar that didn’t involve a lot of coordination. Then they said ‘we’re playing SPICY uno, right?’ And immediately my heart sank because I knew they were playing a different way that I wasn’t familiar with. Again, receiving verbal directions was hell and I didn’t understand it. I was so bad at it and wasn’t getting it, and in the middle of the game I had the urge to cry. I wanted to cry because I couldn’t even get this right. I suppressed the urge, of course, so they wouldn’t think I was even more weird than the already suspected. Another group of people that I wouldn’t fit in with.”
“Making friends has always been so difficult. Once I make a good friend I hang on to them for as long as possible even if they’re not very nice because I’m scared I’ll have to make a new one if I lose them. And we all know how hard making new friends is for me.”
“I’m a perfectionist. Especially with my art projects. When I took a painting class I realized I do it the wrong way. You’re supposed to paint layer by layer over the entire canvas and focus on small details at the very end. I work on one small area at a time and do small details too soon. I often spend way too much time on small details before I realize that the larger shape of the object isn’t proportionate and then it’s too late.”
“I won’t even attempt tasks if I know I can’t do them perfectly.”
“I have perfect pitch. I don’t know if that has anything to do with autism or that I just started music lessons when I was young. I can tune instruments perfectly without a tuner or reference note and I never understood why my orchestra teacher had me play the A key on the piano over and over again while she walked around and tuned everyone’s instruments when I could do it without any reference. I can hear it in my head.”
“When my parents got me a keyboard at age 7-8, they were impressed because I could sit down, without listening to any song and find the notes of a song I liked by ear. I still do that today but my piano is very out of tune and it bothers me.”
“Autistic boys tend to isolate and not care about concealing their stims or weird behavior but girls don’t. I am a ‘loner’ and always have been but I want so badly to belong and have friends and socialize, but I’ve always been so bad at it that I strike out every time. I often drink at social gatherings because it helps me loosen up and talk more freely. I guess it helps me lose the mask for a while.”
“I HATE people touching me. I’ve always hated it and still hate it to this day unless it’s someone I’m super comfortable with. I’ve been told I have the ‘dead fish hand shake’ and I’m an awkward hugger. My friend picked me up from behind and carried me for a few seconds because we were all goofing off and having fun but afterwards I was so mad at him I got really quiet and didn’t talk for a while. I told him later on the ride home that if he did that again I would slap him. “
“Everyone thinks it’s weird that I don’t like touching people, and some of my friends who also don’t like touching people were abused and I always thought, ‘there had to be a reason, maybe I was abused as a kid and repressed it.’ It’s been so long and I’ve finally realized that maybe it’s just because I have Aspergers or ASD. “
“When I make sarcastic remarks or jokes I often have to clarify because I say them in such a monotone way that people think I’m serious.”
“I’ve always joked that I’m just really clumsy and uncoordinated, and chalked it up to being tall and lanky. That’s why swimming was the perfect sport for me. Little to no risk of injury and not much hand eye coordination needed to be good at it. Just hours of practice, technique and endurance.”
“I also injure myself quite a lot because I’m ‘a klutz.’”
“Stims: I scratch my head and then smell my fingers and I will do this for hours if I am able (I know that one is weird so I only do it at home) popping my knuckles a ridiculous amount of times when I feel uncomfortable and don’t know what to do with my hands. I twirl my hair constantly (that one is pretty socially acceptable so I do it in class nonstop). I tap my foot or bounce my leg, I make weird facial expressions and forget to hide those. People notice but they often think it’s funny because I’ll make a face if someone says something dumb and make an expression that people seem to relate to. I scrunch my nose if I’m uncomfortable or just whenever.”
Special interests: Star Wars, Disney (I know every word to every Disney song and I watch animated Disney movies over and over again, like literally every night) dolphins, the ocean, dogs, theology/the Bible.
“With my art work, and other things, I will get so focused on a painting that I will work non stop for 8-9 hours (all day basically) and not eat because I’m so focused that I forget to eat.”
“I think I slur my words a lot and sometimes my friends will laugh and be like ‘did you just say ____.?!?!’And I’ll clarify and they will continue laughing and say ‘oh it sounded like you said this.’ I hate when that happens.”
“Loud noises really bother me. I jump if I hear an unexpected loud noise and I hate people yelling, even if it’s not directed at me, it makes me want to cry. “
“I loved the color blue so much as a kid (I still do) but my entire wardrobe was basically different shades of blue t-shirts. I also only ever wore baggy t-shirts and baggy cargo shorts (I kinda dressed like a boy) because it was comfortable and I didn’t like getting comments if I looked “cute today”. I hated the attention. I also never ever wore my hair down to school. It always had to be up in a tight pony tail. I still don’t like my hair being in my face to this day and wear it up almost every day.”
“The other day, I was hanging out with a friend and she was trying to tell a story but I kept getting distracted and interrupting her. She said, ‘Emily, you kind of interrupt people a lot.’ At first I was hurt, but then I realized it’s not entirely my fault and it’s an autistic thing.”
“I mask so much that I have rehearsed responses to social interactions and will often get so nervous or start speaking from the script before I realize I’ve said the wrong response. Of course I’ll think about it all day after that and think of ‘well great, so and so thinks I’m weird now.’”

sometimes I remember the two computer graphics(?) classes I chose to take back in high school. The first one I took in 9th grade I did the computer thing in the first half (we learned to do art(?) with flash. That was cool. And also there was this other program we were forced to do different projects with AND I HATED IT. was it vectr or something? idk. I just hated it.) And the second half of the class was pretty much just electronics? I just took it to learn to do art in flash lol. I also took it to prepare myself for this animation class for 10th grade plus.
Lemme tell y’all I enjoyed that animation class. It was slightly useless because it was all done in flash, but oh well. Also one of the projects I did was used as an example for several years apparently lol. (I remember being complimented for my use of tweens in it, but honestly? My layers were messed up to the point of no return, and most of those “tweens” were done frame by frame lol.)
There was another class (computer animation 2 plus also game making I guess) that had the first animation class as a prerequisite, and i signed up to take it. But because of the lack of kids that wanted to take it, the class was removed. (Tbf, that class took place in the same room and time as the animation 1 class I was in, and it only had 3 kids in it lol) And then the year later it was a thing again and I signed up for it again. ...only for it to be removed AGAIN. Also guess what happened on my senior year? My graduation year? The year I was leaving school? That class became a thing again. I swear that school was TRYING to tease me.
ALSO! Shout out to that teacher of those classes who made me watch the entirety of the first cars movie for that ONE scene at the beginning that goes frame by frame. Not once. maybe twice. possibly three times. but I swear it felt like FIVE MILLION TIMES. I was always neutral on the cars series until this. :(

What is your favorite aspect of anthropology?
Oooo that’s a really good question!!
In order for this to make sense though, I kinda have to dive into the long winded explanation.
Okay so when I was in kindergarten my mom signed my sister and I up for these pottery classes that were being offered at our school. I immediately fell in love with pottery (mostly because in my 4 year old brain I was able to squish and play with the clay and let’s be real, it was delightful) and wanted to do that for as long as I could. Ever since, I’ve done pottery whenever it’s been offered to me- a friend took a couple of us to a pottery place for her birthday (also the first time I used a wheel), buying cheap clay to mold for school projects, using the wheel of a nice lady that used to go to our church, buying pottery at local art stores, etc. I LOVE pottery. I knew right from the get go that I wanted pottery to be in my life for the rest of my life.
Fast forward to 6th grade. I was sitting in history and my teacher (love this woman btw she’s the COOLEST) was giving a lesson on ancient civilizations. Boy oh boy, did that ever go over like warm biscuits on a cold day. I loveddddd that week of class where we talked about BCE and ancient people, cultures, religions, art (POTTERY), languages, etc. We did this really cool art project thing in class where she gave each of us the back of a big brown paper bag and some natural colored pastels (browns, blacks, whites, earthy reds) and we made our own “cave drawings” using reference images that she had printed out and given to us. It was the best day of sixth grade I ever had. It also, coincidentally, coincided with the retirement of my math teacher. Nobody liked her and we were all glad to see her go. I remember being scared of her? Anyways, that’s a different story.
Fast forward again... to like 9th/10th grade. I remember (in yee olden days before the pandemic) going to Washington DC with my family and going to the Smithsonian where they had an exhibit on human evolution. They had skeletons and replicas and pottery and pictures of cave drawings and mummies and me, being the enthusiast that I am, spent the entire day in that exhibit. I read everything twice, looked at ancient skeletons of early homo sapiens, admired the beautiful pottery that these people crafted and preserved, looked at their clothes through the glass cases and the beading. The beading. This day was like the highlight of my summer. Maybe looking at skeletons and ancient pottery and learning about ancient cultures isn’t the stuff of everyone’s dreams, but it’s mine. And then, my high school invited me to go to Greece via EF Tours (Also deserves its own post and maybe one day I’ll get to it). We went to Athens, Delphi, and the islands of Samos, Patmos, Lindos, Rhodes, Crete, Santorini, and Mykonos in 10 days. I got maybe 9(?) hours of sleep total in those 10 days but the HISTORY. The history made every second of jet lag and sleep deprivation worth it. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing it was to walk where ancient people walked and prayed and lived. We went to museums and great historical sites. The architecture alone was breathtaking. I remember in one museum, there were glass panels in the floor and you could look down into these dig sites where there were massive amounts of of pottery and other artifacts all made by the Ancient Greek citizens. We didn’t get to stay there for very long but it was my favorite part of the trip and I can’t wait to go back. Their culture was, and is, so rich and seeing those artifacts and learning about the ancient culture is fascinating.
Another thing! When I was in high school the majority of my term paper topics were on ancient civilizations... I tried to do all of them but my teacher made me switch topics to something that I could, quote ‘research more easily’. My papers on the Aztec religion and the Ancient Egyptian Legal System scored higher. To that I say: research what you love and to hell with your teachers opinion!
About a year back, I was at a university open house. The anthropology department guy (who was really chill, shout out to you my guy) had a piece of pottery that they brought back from Mount Zion. It was from the same time as Jesus of Nazareth, and he let me HOLD IT. This happy smiley hipster lookin dude let me HOLD a piece of Pottery from when JESUS OF NAZARETH was alive. I was 1) absolutely terrified I was going to drop it, 2) amazed they were allowed to have this at a university open house???, and 3) 10000000% in complete awe. This piece of pottery, we aren’t talking small little fragment either- I mean like a ‘this is bigger than my hand’ piece of pottery, had survived from the time of Jesus through all of these thousands of years and was then sitting in my hand. Who knows what the bowl/vase/whatever was originally for? Who made it? Why was it on Mount Zion?
So here’s the short version- I love pottery. I love ancient cultures. I love mysteries, especially when it’s about the past and there are clues everywhere to help us better under what life was like back then. I don’t mind so much about evolution- it’s interesting don’t get me wrong- but I’d rather spend my time looking at pottery, hiking up to ancient temples or ruins, and trying to piece together ancient civilizations.

Born Into This | 02: The Middle Of Starting Over
POV Paddy
“What do you know about what happened a week after your school started? I believe that was the week of the 8th of September. I’m particularly interested in yours and Ms. Barnes ‘study date’ on the 9th and your families’ reactions to you letting her into your home.”
“PATRICK! WHY THE HELL DID YOU INVITE A BARNES INTO OUR HOUSE!” My father yelled at me in his English classroom while Finn watched from the doorway.
“Because we need somewhere to work on the project you gave us. And anyway what does her last name have to do with anything?” I asked him.
“You’re still so naive. Her family is the one that destroyed our home in London. And I thought you could work on it at school or in a public space or at hers, not our home.”
“Why?” Finn asked from the corner of the room.
“So we could have a foothold in her house.”
“I can’t believe this. You promised me and mum that I wasn’t going to be like the other three. I wasn’t going to be a part of all this. I wasn’t meant to join until I was old enough to choose. Everyone agreed at least one of us was meant to have a normal life. I was meant to be normal,” I yelled at my father as Finn locked the class’ door, making sure no one got in to hear this conversation.
“No one in this family is normal Patrick least of all you. You are going to play an important part in the future of this family. You’re going to be the one to put us back on top and not be the minions of some second rate psychopath.”
“Well, this is all well and good but your next class starts in a few minutes and people are wanting to come in,” Finn said from his spot by the door.
“Of course. We’ll discuss this at home Paddy.”
“Actually, we won’t TJ’s coming over so we can do our project. You know the one you assigned us,” I said as we walked out of the door toward our next class.
“A little cold don’t you think,” Finn said as we moved over to our lockers.
“Maybe but it worked didn’t it.”
“Maybe but I have a feeling your study date’s not going to go as you have planned.”
“Maybe not but nothing ever does in that house.”
“You ready?” I asked TJ as I walked up behind her.
“Yup. I just need to grab something from Millie then I’m all good to go,” She said as she quickly shut her locker when she noticed me.
“What are you hiding in your locker?” I asked her.
“I’m hiding books, art supplies and a very embarrassing letter from my twin brother before he… Nevermind,” she said waving to Millie and Sofia behind me.
“Um erro para você,” Sofia said to TJ handing her a bag.
“Now I’m ready to go,” She said smiling at me.
We walked out of the school in silence, getting into my brother’s car. I started talking to Sam while TJ read her book on the car ride to our house out of the city. By the time we pulled into the long driveway, Sam had built up enough courage to talk to TJ.
“I hear you have a twin brother,” He had said to her.
“I had a twin brother. Had being the keyword in that sentence. It was one of the reasons I made the move here with my aunts,” TJ responded with a sad smirk.
“Can I ask what happened to him? I may not know what it’s like without my twin and I can’t imagine what it must be like but sometimes I wish I did,” He told her, looking her in the eye through the rearview mirror.
“He isn’t with us anymore. I’m not convinced he’s truly dead. It feels as though there should be a bigger gap in my heart if he truly was. But it just feels like it did when we were kids and we would go to different schools every day, except we’re further away from each other this time,” She said with a wistful look on her face as if she was trying to figure some big game of chess out, “Sometimes I wish that I could know if he was dead or not, just so I could either find him or his ghost and kill him with my own hands.”
“Well, feel free to do that to Harry anytime you want. I’ll help you make it look like an accident. I have the same emotions toward him as you do your twin.”
“I might take you up on that offer, Sam. But for now, Luisa May Alcott and her Little Women are calling my name and I need a good grade on this if I don’t want to be murdered by my aunt Hayley,” She said smiling at him as we got out of the car.
“Have fun you two and remember, Paddy, keep a door open!” Sam yelled at us as we walked into the house, while he waited for Harry so they could do something I don’t even want to think about.
“Sorry about him and my entire family and friends that live in this house,” I told her as we walked up the stairs to the front door.
“It’s OK. I’m sure my family is 1000% weirder than yours.”
“Really?”
“Oh yeah.”
“Ok. My brothers once decided it would be a good idea to throw toilet paper at my head for an Instagram video,” I told her starting with one of the less weird stories I have from my family.
“My aunts have a metal reinforced bomb shelter that could survive any bomb I’m aware of, in our apartment that they have told me on numerous occasions it’s not used for sex stuff.”
“OK, I’m thinking through all of my stories and none of them match that.”
POV Hayley
“What do you know about what happened the week of the 8th of September?”
“The only thing that I can’t remember that would be at all relevant.”
“Has it disappeared from your memory?”
“It appears it has slipped my mind.”
“So you have a date,” I teased TJ at dinner.
“It’s not a date, it’s a study session for an English project I could do by myself blindfolded in your warehouse. It’s on Little Women, all I really would have to do is ask Emma or Flo and I could get all the answers I would ever need. Or I could just do it myself but it’s a group project,” TJ told me stabbing my salad on my plate.
“It sounds like you have a date,” Lizzie told her.
“And you stole my salad.”
“It’s not a date,” She laughed/defended herself. “And I did.”
“If you say so,” I told her changing the topic, “So how would you feel about helping me on Sebastian’s case? You can annoy the hell out of him till he takes the plea bargain. Or you could trick him into a confession.”
“Aren’t you meant to be proving his innocence?” Lizz asked me.
“Yes, but no jury is going to let him get away with it in today’s society.”
“He was arrested for public intoxication, that’s a slap on the wrist especially with his family,” TJ told me what I already knew.
“He was arrested for public intoxication, attempting to purchase sex, and pimping out college girls. He can get away with public intoxication, maybe depending on his labwork but with his track record and all of this shit he’ll see some prison time. I hope. I feel so sorry for those poor girls he was pimping out,” I told her eating my own dinner.
“How is it that I’m the one who sees this as an uncomfortable dinner time talk? I’m the one that partakes in murder and torture for a living,” Lizzie spoke up refilling her wine glass.
“Maybe because you partake in mob activity and pimps tend to be mob members in this city?” TJ spoke.
“We don’t do that. Like we no longer deal drugs we help them out instead, providing employment and educational opportunities for those who would have no other option but to turn to people like Sebastian and Chris. We don’t play in that game. We try and empower women,” Lizzie said voice rising in anger.
“I’m sorry Liz, I just don’t know that much about all this,” TJ told her.
“So, should we play a game?” I asked trying to ease the tension.
“Sure,” They said in unison.
“How about two rounds of Never Have I Ever?” I asked.
“I’ll win so sure,” TJ said with a smirk.
“If you have you have to take a shot of hot sauce or vodka. I’ll start,” Lizzie said, “Never Have I Ever, worked for the law.”
“Screw you, Elizabeth!” I said as TJ tried to find the hot sauce on the table as I got the shot glasses and took a shot of vodka.
“I had one internship,” TJ said taking her hot sauce shot with pride, “My go, never have I ever shot a man.”
“Not myself, well not with a gun,” Lizzie said as we turned to look at her before she asked, “Do crossbows count?”
“Yes and I want to hear that story,” TJ told her as we both downed Vodka shots.
“Never have I ever had a crush on another member of a mob,” I say handing TJ the hot sauce.
“I haven’t Hayley, I haven’t had a yet crush,” She told me.
We finished our game and turned in for the night all of us doing our own individual tasks. That was until Lizzie came and saw me about TJ.
“I’m worried about her, it’s nearly the one-year anniversary of Robin’s death. I think we should do something about it. Either take her somewhere in memory of him or try to distract her from it,” Lizzie said standing in my doorway.
“Remember at the funeral she said she cherished the memory of going to McDonald’s in time square with him when they were 8 and first came to New York, maybe we could go there with some of her friends,” I told her looking at her through my mirror.
“Who should we invite?” Lizzie asked, “I mean obviously Sofia and Millie, maybe Mia, Emily and Lily?”
“What about her new friend from school? The one she has a school project with?” I suggested.
“Maybe, I’ll have Mr. T look into him, just to make sure there’s nothing too bad hiding in his closet. You can never be too sure with these things,” Liz said, “Maybe you should rethink your stance on Stan.”
“Maybe, you should reconsider Chris’s offer,” I told her.
“OK, so can we agree no more boy talk, lyubit',” Lizzie said to me moving toward me and away from the door.
“What do you want to talk about?” I asked her.
“I’d prefer to not talk and maybe do something else instead,” She smirked.
“Can you two please shut your door! I DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANY OF THIS!” TJ shouted from her room.
“OK!” I shouted getting up to shut the door.
“Can I ask what happened next Ms. Atwell? Or has it disappeared from your memory as well?”
“What happened next is strictly between me and Ms. Olsen, God rest her soul and may it not burn in hell with those monsters that did this to her. But I’m sure you can assume what happened next.”
“I’d like to hear the words come from your mouth.”
“You sound like her, but instead of words she preferred to hear something else from me.”
“That’ll be all for know please Ms. Atwell,” The judge told me.
“But he wanted to know what happened next your honour and that requires a bit of foul language that may make you a bit uncomfortable.”
POV Chris
“What do you know about what happened the week of the 8th of September?”
“Not much admittedly, I was on a bit of a bender. You see I was just dumped by my betrothed thingy that Robert set up years ago to keep the peace when the Holland’s moved to New York. Meant to be a part of a peace treaty me and some other unfortunate soul were meant to marry into the Barnes’ as a show of peace.”
“Did this end with the events that unfolded?”
“No, it didn’t. Enough members survived for a need for the treaty.”
“Except they replaced me with Sebastian.”
“Just tell us your story.”
“Hit me again,” Sebastian told me as we played cards.
“We’re playing go fish Seb,” I told him.
“I know, I meant another beer,” He said.
“Sorry.”
“You seem distracted. What did Robert say?”
“The reason I’m Elizabeth’s liaison is I’m meant to marry her and one of the brothers is meant to marry Jean’s granddaughter. And from the age range, I was given of her it sounds likely that Paddy will be drawn into this life after all. And I’m meant to tell Nikki but she terrifies me.”
“She is a scary woman when it comes to protecting her children, especially Paddy.”
“She thought she could save his soul but very clearly she was wrong. I knew Dominic and Robert were up to no good in all of their meetings.”
“It gets worse. Robert killed the girl’s twin brother with his own hands. She was told he died of cancer which he did have but it didn’t kill him.”
“Robert killed a child with cancer because he thought he was a threat, that’s just cold even for him.”
“What was cold of me?” Robert asked coming into the kitchen taking one of the beers from the fridge to hand to Sebastian and another one for himself.
“We were talking about your plans for me and the Barnes girl.”
“She’s coming over tomorrow, it’s a bit of a study date. Hopefully, they don’t kill each other that would put a damper on my plans,” Robert said to us sitting on one of the stools at the bar.
“Why do your plans involve the love lives of two teenagers, isn’t that a bit weird even for you?” Sebastian asked him.
“Maybe but not here I get to say what’s weird and what’s not. Maybe you’d know the feeling if you stayed in Romania a little longer than you did.”
“OK, that’s enough Robert. It’s too much even for you.”
“You seem to have forgotten your place here Evans. As soon as you are in charge you can change how things are but until then I make the rules and Dominic made that deal to save what was left of his family and their business,” Robert spat at me.
Right, the destruction of the Holland Mafia, the event that lead to Robert becoming one of the most powerful men in the world. The events that took place in 2004. London was in term oil there were fights on the streets between the Holland and the Barnes Families until August when Dominic was losing he decided that instead of lose the little bit of power and control he had left he was going to strike a deal with the Barnes Mafia in an attempt to save his own life and the life of his boys. Though through my conversations with Elizabeth I doubt that anything would have happened to the boys other than they’d have been taken into the family fold and been brought up outside of the mob. He used that power to make a deal his yet to be born child would eventually marry the youngest Barnes. He didn’t tell his wife or his boys. He then used this deal to bargain for his escape to New York where the last few of his men joined with Robert’s giving him more power in exchange for protection.
“Fine but that doesn’t make it OK for this to be happening. Any of this,” I said.
“Maybe but what we do isn’t moral it’s a business based of people doing immoral things and if you can’t handle that I can and will arrange for your early retirement.”
“No thank you, Robert,” I said through gritted teeth while he left the room.
“We should tell the kid. Or Nikki maybe that could be a way around this whole thing,” Seb said once we checked that Robert was out of earshot.
“I’m pretty sure that we should tell the kids and Nikki at the same time, you never know maybe the girl will have the guts to kill Robert or at least hurt him,” I told him.
“If only she would. It would make life much easier for us,” He said looking around, “Now tell me about this Elizabeth character does she seem nice or like she’ll shoot you next time you enter her office?”
“Both if that’s possible. She seems like if I say one wrong thing or make one wrong move I’m going to end up in the Hudson. But I saw her with her I want to say niece the other day in central park and she seemed so calm and sweet.”
“She has a niece?”
“I looked into it and not really the kid refers to Elizabeth as aunt and lives with her but she’s Jean’s granddaughter.”
“So not her sisters’ kid?”
“No, they seem to have disappeared off the grid. They haven’t been spotted in 5 years apparently.”
“How have they managed that in today’s tech-driven world? And how did you get all this beer? Robert doesn’t own the beer trade in New York.”
“I honestly have no clue. And Elizabeth gave it to me as a peace offering for the first day on the job as her liaison, apparently, they’re the ones that managed to get almost all of the alcohol trade in NYC. Tip-off before t-total America.”
POV TJ
“What do you know about what happened the week of the 8th of September?”
“That was an interesting week for sure, we got contacted by two ghosts, I had a study session with Paddy and I nearly shot Tom Holland.”
“You shot a gun?”
“Oh god no I despise the things, I nearly shot him with a bow that I had in my possession for PE class. It wasn’t nearly as bad as it sounds. Yes, I actually hit him but it was his hair that got hurt and his ego but that could take a beating and still be too large.”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely. That thing was way too big just because Robert thought he should be his next in line.”
“So have you actually read Little Women?” I asked Paddy as I sat on his bedroom floor.
“First, you know you can sit on a chair. Secondly, I am almost done with it,” He said pointing to the chair opposite to him.
“Yes I know I can but I don’t want to. So I’m going to sit here on the floor and start working on the project while you finish reading it,” I told him opening my computer to start working through the list of tasks Paddy’s father had set out for us.
“Cool.”
After about an hour of working in silence, there was a knock on the door, followed by a woman pocking her head through the door.
“Hey, Pads do you and your friend want a snack?” The ginger-haired woman asked.
“Yes?” He said more as a question to me.
“Sure,” I said to her smiling.
“Thanks, Mum,” Paddy said as I turned back to my computer before I heard his voice go from that of a normal teenage boy to one that grew up in a family of mobsters, “What the hell do you want Chris?”
“I wanted to tell you two and your mother something I found out from your father and Robert. Well, actually from Elizabeth but it has to do with Dominic and Robert,” Chris said as I turned towards him.
“Why didn’t aunt Lizzie tell me if she wanted me to know, Christopher?” I spoke.
“Aunt Lizzie?” Paddy asked.
“Probably for your own protection but I don’t care about that. As long as you don’t die I can get away with anything to do with you,” Chris told me looking directly into my eyes.
“You underestimate my aunt, she’ll kill you if you get to close. She’s a sweetheart though,” I told him.
“Hey – Chris,” Paddy’s mum said voice changing instantly.
“Nicola. I have some news for all three of you.”
“Where does you shooting Tom come into this?”
“I’m about to get there.”
“Go ahead.”
After hearing the new Chris had to say Nicola went after her husband and I went in search of Robert Downey Jr. to kill followed by a puppy-like Paddy. I happened to have a bow and some arrows with me from PE which I took with me on this search. I did come across Robert with some of his close associates, mainly Paddy’s oldest brother, Tom.
“What the fucking hell Robert! When you said our families made peace all those years ago I didn’t think it meant with a freaking arranged marriage! That is the cruellest thing you have ever done and I am counting murdering my twin brother because you saw him and me as threats to your family! Well, Downey I’m here to tell you, you’ve just started a war you can’t win because even if you survive, all this won’t, neither will your legacy. Because the truth will come out whether or not you admit it is the truth. See you in hell asshole,” I stated drawing back the string on the bow and aimed at the table and Tom’s hair, meeting my targets before swirling around and walking toward Hayley’s car in the driveway leaving Paddy standing there staring at his brothers.
I overheard him say, “I should go back and finish my homework.”
“I got your bags from Chris. You need to get out of that English class and maybe that school,” Hayley said as I sat in her car and she took off.
“Or you need Jesus, maybe come to church once in a while kid,” Lizzie said through the phone.
“Or maybe I need someone to tell me the fucking truth from all of you,” I said grabbing my headphones and putting my on and staring out the window. Mr. T is the facts person in the mob if you need to find out anything you go to him and he’ll have the answer 24 hours later. He was the one that lead the charge against the Holland’s all those years ago.
When we arrived back home I stormed into the building getting into the elevator, “I’m going to see Mr. T he’s got more answers than either of you. Including one that I asked him to dig up yesterday.”
“Be home soon. It’s no longer safe for you in this city. You’re coming to church on Sunday. It proves your not actually going to hurt Robert at least not yet,” Hayley said.
“OK Hales,” I told her getting out of the Lift on the floor below Hayley.
“Hey, I heard you were coming over. And I got your answers,” Mr. T said as I knocked on the door.
“And apparently a tiger,” I said as I stepped into the apartment.
“Looking after it for a friend. But in answer to your first question. It’s true you’re suspicions were correct. Sadly for your brother and your mother,” He said.
“Sadder for his wife and my genetics. Now, what can you tell me about how to take down the Downey Mafia. I need to destroy them,” I said with what I hoped was the stone-cold look of a killer.
“Happily,” He responded, handing me a drink from his fridge.
POV Sebastian
“What do you know about what happened the week of the 8th of September?”
“Nothing that I’d tell you.”
“Please enlighten us, Mr. Stan, it’ll make this a lot easier for you down the road.”
“Maybe but it’s between me and the people involved not you and the internet. So I’d rather stay silent on the matter.”
“So she tried to shoot you?” I asked Tom.
“No, I think she just missed Robert.”
“Trust me if she wanted to hit you she would’ve. I’ve seen her trophies in Elizabeth’s office. She was just trying to scare you all,” Chris spoke up.
“Well, I hope next time she doesn’t aim to kill because I’d rather go out with a bullet than an arrow,” Tom said grabbing a beer.
“Well, then don’t piss off TJ or her family they tend to do things the old fashioned way,” Chris smiled into his beer.
“That’s interesting. How exactly did you know that?” I asked him.
“I have my ways, Stan. Now Holland what are you going to do about your brother?” Chris asked.
“That comes down to my parents. And I’m on standby in case mum needs a body disposed of.”
“Well, good luck with all that. We have bigger issues,” I said looking at the fridge.
“What? Out of beer?” Tom asked.
“Not quite but the only way we can get more is to ask Elizabeth or go through her and help aid her.”
“Well, before we inevitably go to war with the Barnes family, who are objectively older, wiser and more powerful, let’s get shitfaced and ruin our aim tomorrow!” I said.
“Cheers! Here’s to getting shitfaced by illegal means!” Tom said.
“Dude. Just speak normally.”
“Can I ask if you figured out how they figured out the outlawing of alcohol?”
“Probably, Hayley Atwell, she’s a lawyer at one police plaza and worked in Washington for a bit,” Paddy said grabbing Tom’s beer.
“Rough night?”
“Really your asking that after everything that’s happened today?”
“Fair enough, kid. Why don’t you join us?”
“You let a minor get drunk?”
“After everything you’ve heard today about these events that’s your question? If I let a minor get drunk? Of course, I let a minor get drunk! He just found out he’s betrothed to someone he has a school project with and he just met! Who may or may not be related to the people that killed his family members. And you ask if I let him have a beer?”
“Yes, Mr. Stan that is what I’m asking.”
“Well then. The answer is yes and I’m aware it’s illegal in two forms but I did it anyway.”
