i would love to hear your thoughts on how they sustained injuries in rtc that are symbolic to their characters! i personally think ocean got the worst of it next to Jane
OHHHHHHHHHHH OK!!!!! i am literally so sorry i took this long to answer but here we are!!! i finally finished it!! that’s what took so long.. i couldn’t think of anything for a few of them but now i have it all!!
thanks for asking this, by the way :)) it was a great reminder to a)finish making that and b) post it lol
now for the fun stuff,, however first off… these are really dark. and i apologize for that.. if you don’t want to read it i don’t blame you :)
and ofc this is in addition to all the broken bones and other stuff that really made them Dead yknow (everything i mentioned in my Very First rtc post lol)
that being said:
-ocean got the worst (second to jane ofc,, i agree w you on that); it’s “karma” of sorts for just. not being a nice person. she was still recognizable (obviously,, otherwise she’d be another jane doe..) but she was damn near close to Not being.. sorta like irony considering that out of all of them she wanted to be the most Known.
-noel got impaled by something (idk what or how.. but something).. as for the Reasoning,, this is gonna sound real dumb but yknow how he’s the most romantic,, it’s sorta like a morbid parody of the whole arrow/love thing you see everywhere. i just thought it fit…
-mischa: lascerations. because he isn’t from Uranium.. he’s separated from everything,, therefore he gets super sliced up to reflect that he’s Ukrainian and the rest are Not. therefore he gets a main injury that none of the others get. there be differences between them yknow.
-ricky was partially crushed (i mean.. they all were,, but since he was in the back he got crushed the most. ocean still got the 2nd worst Overall injuries though..) it’s another sadly ironic thing yknow.. the guy who’s legs don’t really work anyway got them crushed… yikes.
-nothing new for jane/penny.. i think her getting decapitated is symbolic enough already.. that’s actually how i got the idea to come up w these!!
-this was actually the hardest to think of,, but i think constance was just killed on impact! however i think Most (if not all) of them died on impact actually,, so Really i mean i just wanted her to suffer the least since she was actually pretty miserable in life,,, until it was almost over that is.. also bc this sorta contrasts with ocean. she got the worst,, so constance gets the Least. and it sorta reflects how everyone saw her as Just the nicest girl in town,, nothing else and just that! not to say it’s/she’s boring but there’s just nothing…. Else, i guess.. to say yknow. (don’t think this is me hating on constance though. i love her sm)
again!! thanks so much for asking! i love talking abt stuff like this and i love answering asks!!

Started playing Jedi: Survivor! Gonna post miscellaneous thoughts I’m having as I play through it. For reference, I’m also playing on Story Mode (I just want to be safe cuz I have no idea what will be thrown at me lol).
And of course, if it wasn’t obvious, spoilers under the cut.
So we begin with Cal being “captured” and taken to this Pau’an senator (the same one as in the first teaser). He seems to be like a big shot... or at least is hoping to become one, since he’s hoping to gain the Emperor’s favour by saying he caught a Jedi. It’s really just a ruse (the cops holding Cal are actually fellow rebels working for Saw Gerrera), and well soon stuff gets crazy.
Probably the most notable issue so far is framerate? Like, for reference, I’m playing on PS5 and am using Performance Mode (it would be pointless to do anything else since my TV only has a max 1080p resolution). It’s not exactly bad, like it definitely isn’t the nightmare that PC players seem to be experiencing, but I find that especially between the transitions between gameplay and cutscenes it can get kinda choppy. I get why the cutscenes have a lower framerate, it’s so they look more cinematic, and honestly I’m more than fine with that, but the transitions and even a few gameplay moments feel slow.
Also maybe it’s just because I already know how Fallen Order played and I’m also on Story difficulty, but I think the opening level dragged out a bit too long? It makes sense it’s an easy and simple level, but eh, who finds tutorial sections fun anyway, lol.
On the other hand, being in the Coruscant underworld was a pretty cool opening setting. There’s a lot of narrative parallels to Fallen Order already, and there’s parts of Coruscant that actually remind me of Bracca in some ways. Many parts looked a bit dark, but IDK if that’s just my TV or what, but that aside it all looked cool.
Nerd moment: the first enemies you fight being the patrol troopers from Solo was fun. What’s more fun than killing stormtroopers? Killing COP stormtroopers.
Bode seems cool, I guess. I do feel like them emphasising the monetary involvement he’s working with Saw for is gonna come into play later on though, like if someone offers him more to pay for him and his kid he could pull something on Cal. Also they introduced the buddy AI system, which lets you tell your friend to do certain things, and command them to help you in fights. IDK how effective it will be (especially on Story mode where so far I’m cutting through Stormtroopers like nothing lol), but it’s still cool to have your pal show up and fuck with some enemies.
Cal’s already got some fun quips, but I’m also interested to see he already seems darker. Like, when they eventually capture the senator, he basically makes a death threat, but what really stood out to me was when you learn the confusion power. Like, he literally says something like “I don’t think Cere told me to use it like that”. And like... that line only made me think of Ezra at the start of Season 3 of Rebels even more than already recalling Ezra puppet that walker off that base. Two Jedi who feel like they need to do more to stop the Empire and Dark Side, but are flirting with darker tactics to get there.
So Ninth Sister returns. The way she talks almost makes it sound like she’s some recurring enemy Cal keeps running into. KESTIIIIIISSSSSSSSS!!!!! But yeah she’s the first boss (which feels a lot like the first Trilla fight on Bracca, speaking of which another parallel has Cal pull a Trilla on one of the gunships surrounding them). Cal... fucking decapitates her. It’s an interesting moment to me, another sign he’s darker of course, but I’m getting a lot of different feelings here. Like on one hand, he doesn’t seem to relish it at all, even trying to reach out to her, even calling her Masana Tide, her original name before she turned dark. But on the other... he’s like “I’ll set you free” and decides who must live or die. Like sure, Masana wouldn’t listen to him, she’s just full of rage and pain, but still, playing executioner like that was still a dark moment to me.
I should also mention the lightsabre stances, because the boss is where you first lean dual blade. So far... I’ve barely used single blade, lol. I’m fine using double and dual blade for now, honestly. IDK how it is on harder difficulties, but I think they compliment each other nicely. Double blade for crowd control and more defensive fights, and dual blade when I feel like being more offensive. Also, nerd brain just thinks it’s neat to have a sabrestaff you split and put back together.
Controls are mostly similar, there’s some slight changes here and there, I’ll get used to them with time probably. Force powers still work as expected. I’m a monster that loves using confusion to make enemies fight each other, lol. It IS cool that it can’t work on all enemies though, like purge troopers are immune since they’d obviously be trained to resist mind tricks, some creatures you can’t seem to affect I guess because they’re just too weird or whatever, and you can’t use it on droids because they’re not organic. Making Bedlam Raiders kill their own droid underlings they’re in charge of is funny.
Oh yeah, Koboh. Only gotten up to Greez’s cantina and I just stopped right after I found the part we need for the Mantis, but it already feels massive. Interesting scenery too, like it reminds me of a savannah in like Australia or even Africa. Also, I’m guessing the bogling population came from the Mantis stowaways in Fallen Order, lol.
The minimap is much more helpful actually. Still a bit complex, but there’s a lot more notified to tell you where you can go and even traces where you’ve come from, and it helps give clearer directions on where to progress too. It’s not so easy like say Lego Skywalker Saga where the default just lets you follow markers that tell you exactly where to go, you still need to look around sometimes to find how to progress or solve a puzzle, but for someone like me who can get stuck for pretty stupid reasons, it is handy to have these extra hints.
So the scene with Cal and BD looking at old footage they had of the crew together was definitely sentimental. It seems to be around or soon after Fallen Order since the characters still have their looks from that game, but it’s nice to see the times they spent together, and you can tell how much Cal misses them all even if they all parted ways.
On the other hand... we got TWO Greez salt jokes within the span of a few minutes. They KNOW and they really want to remind us, lol. First, one of the videos displayed has Greez say to Merrin say something like “too much salt is bad for you”, which well, yeah, the irony is obvious. There’s also what used to be the Mantis’ terrarium now holding some old belongings, and one of them was Greez and salt related, I think it was his salt shaker? But yes, salty Greez fans, you will not be disappointed.
The locals at Koboh seem interesting enough so far. Little frog due and big Klaud dude! Rayvis had an... interesting first impression. Like at first he’s all shouty and dramatic to the point where I found it a bit much, but after Cal kills his enforcer, he actually starts acting more honourable and subdued? Hard to read guy, I guess. Sounds like he’s building to something, though I have no idea why harassing people on some Outer Rim world is necessary for that. Like, the people in the bar talk like they just show up and cause trouble because they can. Cal stepping in to defend the frog dude was cool though, nice reminder that at heart he’s still a Jedi even if I have... questions about some of his new tactics, lol.
Greez reunion! Was a pretty sweet moment, honestly. And there’s also a sassy droid at the bar who co-runs the place (I think their name was Monk?). Greez is rightfully concerned about Cal though, like Cal misses the crew but it sounds like his own obsession with fighting the Empire was a key factor in what caused the rifts to form in the first place. Something definitely seemed to happen with Cere especially, like when Cal talks about Merrin Greez is like “actually I was asking if you’ve spoken to Cere”. Cal does lose it for a moment, too. He feels like because he might be one of the only Jedi left, he has to shoulder that responsibility to fight the Empire. It’s kind of like the opposite to Obi-Wan’s situation - right around this time, Obi-Wan has given up hope and thinks it’s pointless to do anything, while Cal is so into the fight it seems like it’s consuming him. Like, Greez made this room for Cal to chill in even for a bit, but Cal’s all GOTTA GET ON THE MOVE. Also, for more parallels, a callback to the sleep talking scene, lol.
Anyway, stuck underground and Cal noticed something weird, I’ll get to it later and we’ll see what else happens!

i want to tell a story about my teen expirience with pedo gal. theres no advices or conclusions, i just tell what happened to me once. its not really ed related, and also its not really that bad and serious expirience but i tend to take many things too lighthearted and you really may be triggered by this, so tw, cw, idk how to tag, read at your own risk.
so i was 14 or 15 year old kid, fat, ugly, weird, bullied, and very lonely. i listened to black metal a lot (i still listen to it but not that much). i was in internet black metal groups and sometimes posted good shit in one of them. admin of it dm me and we talked a lot. her nickname was crow. she was a 26y.o. girl who didnt look like a metal fan at all. she was very normal looking girl, pretty, with good make up and short pink skirt. we started to meet occasionally and my mom liked her. later crow said that she specially looked for kids who doesnt have too controlling parents, even slightly neglected ones.
we talked online a lot and she kind of wanted relationships. i didnt really wanted ones but i thought it would be fun. we had a chat: me, her and one guy, he was maybe 16-17 y.o. me and him felt that like some funny unserious shit like lol ok. crow told about her other relationships with boys even younger than me, at least one boy was like 13 y.o. there were at least 2 of them, both blackers-hipsters in glasses. also she kind of tried to make out with elder women, idk about detail. ah and there was at least 1 grown up guy she got money from.
she convinced that boys to send her dickpics i guess. and she showed me that pics. she thought its funny, i thought "ew jeez okaay". i didnt send her my nudes even tho she wanted. actually we never did anything illegal, the biggest thing was shy childish kiss on the lips. maybe she wanted more but she never pushed. her smutty texts and pics made me kind of uncomfortable but i was really lonely and bored so i decided to just observe what will be next.
we walked sometimes together idk if can call it a date. she treated me like a child and i liked it. she ride with me on a children train ride, she bought me my favorite pastries and sodas and talked about how fat she is and how she dieting and tries to lose weight (she was much thinner than me of course). she gave me a cool bracelet with spikes, i still wear it. she had no morals and made fun out of everything. once in her fake account with profile pic of the youngest boy she "date" she posted an image of a dog head(decapitated) and made fun out of people who were disgusted. she had a lot of face accounts and often tried to trick me with it and make fun of me later(she succed only once). she made fun of my obsession over hungary, love for black metal and hairy legs. she could make out and tell smut out of blue, and sometimes it was the funniest shit possible. and she could make you more guilty, uneasy and disgusted bu yourself in the subtliest ways possible. she loved to rot and ruin kids' minds and it shows. she studied psychology before and she could be psychologist but idk if she practiced. i never met a good psychologist in my life anyway lol.
the last time we met was winter 2015. she saw that i cant be good for something she want and i was getting older anyway so she focused on that 13y.o. boy. she told me how he loves her, sends her cds and merch and how his parents hate her and send her death threats. shortly after we stop communicate and her last profile pic was a photo where she and that boy are kissing.
then one day i woke up from a call from strange number. male voice asked me if i know [female name and last name]. it was a cop. he said that she (crow) was found dead. killed. with head and one hand cutten off. he asked me f i know something and what are names of her accounts if she has ones. i dont think i told him much. i even thought that it may be another trick of crow. but that cop also called that 17y.o. dude from chat. we was like holy shit wtf okaaaay lol. i still dont know how to feel about it. and my parents still know nothing. that good girl just dissapeared one day from my life. "what a pity, my mom said, she was so sweed. she probably found a boyfriend and devoted to him, it often happens to girls". yeah. probably. at least i have a wild story to tell. and a cool black metal spiked bracelet. lmao

I spent FOUR GOD DAMN HOURS at a walk in clinic tonight to get my stitches out because my arm has not been healing well, I was worried they'd fall open like the other one did and didn't wanna deal with it, and the stitches are really tight and i wasn't sure I could maneuver scissors one handed and just... overall didn't wanna deal with it.
But where I'm from we don't have walk in clinics so I wasn't expecting to wait FOUR HOURS. The small town hospital would have been quicker than this city clinic. I was getting more and more distressed and was about to leave to come home and get really high and just rip them out of me because I'm so sick of how painful they are. Then the doctor called me in.
I took off my sweater and explained I usually just take these out myself but I'm not healing well, this other one with all the steristrips popped back open when I removed the stitches, and I'm also kinda concerned these ones are infected so wanted someone else to do it this time.
He took one look and was like holy shit yeah that's infected, I am absolutely not taking those stitches out right now with all that going on because you don't want open wounds with that much infection. You need to clear up the infection and probably leave the stitches in for 10-12 days in order to have a chance to finally heal. (I explained today is day 8 so they're due to come out, nevermind that I usually never leave them in past 4 or 5 days...)
So anyway it's so bad he not only gave me 10 days worth of antibiotics but also LITERAL NARCOTIC PAINKILLERS because of how nasty it looks. I didnt even ask for painkillers, he straight up offered. And I feel so vindicated because now I realize my arm has been infected for probably like 5 or 6 days and that I'm not being a baby with how severe and unbearable the pain has been. I told him I've been using a topical antibiotic with lidocaine to try to control the pain and asked why the antibiotic part didn't treat this and he was basically like, a topical ointment won't do shit for what you have going on unfortunately.
I went to the clinic for 5 pm when they opened so I took the dressing off around 3 to dry out the ointment and stuff so he could remove the stitches, and the 7 hours of not having antibiotic cream on it has really shown that that shit was merely holding the infection back, minimally, at best. In the 7 hours it's been uncovered my skin has become so swollen and blistered and it's actually so painful I can't turn the key in my car or even shift from park/drive/reverse or do anything with my arm that requires force or strength.
And I almost walked out of that clinic before being seen because I didn't bring any meds with me or anything to do and wasn't prepared for hours of waiting around sick people who were so god damn overstimulating and so I was on the brink of meltdown all night. My friend offered to come sit with me at 9 after class if I was still waiting and I told them if I'm not seen by 9 I'm going to decapitate myself in the god damn waiting room. And then suggested maybe they don't wanna be around me while I'm this distressed lol. Thankfully the doctor called me in 5 mins later.
My arm is fucking gnarly and I'm putting the lidocaine cream back on it because my arm is so puffy it looks like it's being suffocated by the stitches. I wonder if I have a hydrocortisone cream. I am so motherfuckimg distressed by this and a systemic infection probably explains why I've spent so much of the last 3 days sleeping (I fell asleep during a meeting today even, and have done almost zero work this week) and why my other wounds aren't healing and why my skin is blistering from medical tape and idk just a whole assortment of things that have been weird but not evidently something serious on their own.
At least now I know why this hurts so god damn much ;___;
The antibiotics are supposed to start helping by 24 hours so wish me luck.
This has been the worst 3 weeks of a loooong time and I'm fucking mad about everything.

"Do you trust me?"
David narrowed his eyes at the woman, unsure what to make of her, but ultimately she was human and he was not - what say did he have in the matter? “Why bother asking? Perhaps it is I who should ask the same of you.”

True Colors
masterlist 
pairing - stefan salvatore x fem, human!reader 
type - fluff, lil angst
note / request - “Can you do a reader x stefan salvatore where she is the only one who doesn't make him feel bad when he consumes human blood, and the ripper stefan is also a friend and they both have feelings for each other” this was super fun to write! this does have an actual plot loll and is kinda long. don’t ask me what season this takes place is cause idk, it’s kinda all over the place lol. anyways, enjoy!
summary - you show stefan love while he’s the ripper
warnings / includes - mild language, fighting, mild violence, talk about blood and dead bodies, you have a near-death experience, kissing. stefan has his humanity off for most of this  
————
*gif isn’t mine* (him having blood dripping down his face is so hot idc)
Tumblr media
The first time you saw Stefan with blood around his mouth, bloodshot eyes, and his hair all tousled was the day you were going to confess your feelings to him. It had been a year since him and Elena had broken up, and he hand’t tried to date anyone else. You two had gotten a lot closer since him and Elena’s break up. He seemed fine, too. Well, you thought that until you saw him decapitate someone
“Stefan!” You shouted, eyes wide and watering at the sight in front of you. 
Stefan growled in response, lifting his head up off the dead body that he was feeding on. He turned to look at you. His eyes were hooded and blood was all over his face and down his neck. He was barring his fangs, looking at murderously. 
You looked at him with confusion and pain, but not fear. You knew he had become the ripper. You had read about it in his journals and he had talked about it briefly with you. He described himself as a monster. Something who people feared, something who he hated. You never understood it, though. You had known Stefan for four years and in those four years, you had only seen him be kind, compassionate, and selfless. Sure, he got angry sometimes and struggled with the bloodlust, but he kept himself in check. As you looked over him, though, you didn’t see the monster who he and everyone else  - Damon and Klaus - had described. You saw a boy who was lost and afraid, and felt like he had no choice but to feed. 
“Stefan?” You asked softly, walking over to him slowly. 
“Get away from me!” He shouted. 
“Stef, it’s okay,” you assured, keeping eye contact with him. 
“No, it’s not!” Stefan exclaimed. He got up, licking up the leftover blood. “I said, get away from me!” He sped away from you, going out of the cafeteria. 
You huffed, turning around and making your way out of the school. You ran as fast as you could, hoping you could catch him. You ran out of the school, thankful that the sun hadn’t set. As you walked out, your phone rang in your pocket. You pulled it out, sighing as you saw Damon’s caller ID.
“Hello?” You answered. “Hey, where are you?” Damon asked.  “School,” you said. “What?! I thought I told you stay at home!” Damon exclaimed. 
“I’m not a kid, Damon. I’m 20 years old,” you muttered. 
“Yeah, well you act like you’re five. You could’ve gotten hurt.”
“I can protect myself,” you argued. “You’re a human, Y/n!” He protested. 
“Yeah, and that makes me less capable of everything than everyone else, right?” You scoffed.  “N-No, but-”
“No buts, Damon. You are full of crap.”
“Hey, this is not my fault! You were the one who disobeyed the orders. What would Stefan say if he found out you put yourself in danger?” 
“Well, I don’t think he’d really say anything considering he just up and left when I found him feeding on someone,” you chuckled. 
“He was feeding on someone in the school?” Damon asked. 
“Yeah, one of the football players that was in the locker room,” you explained. 
“Damn, he’s hungry,” Damon remarked. “Yeah, well, we need to find him. I-I need to find him,” you breathed out, thinking about what you were going to say to him. 
“What? So you can confess your love to him and make him turn his humanity off? Fat chance of that,” he laughed. 
You frowned, “Yeah, and you thought you would be the one to turn Elena’s humanity on, right? But no, it was Matt who was able to.”
Damon sighed, “Shut up. Did you see where Hero Hair went?”
“Out of the school?” You guessed, knowing you wouldn’t be any help.  “Wow, really? Who would’ve thought that!” 
You rolled your eyes, “Not the time for your remarks, Damon. I’m serious, we need to find him.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know. Well, he couldn’t have gotten far. Drinking that much blood literally is the same as getting high. He’ll crash soon.”
“I thought a ripper never stops?” You asked, quoting Stefan from when Klaus compelled him to kill Elena. 
“Yeah, well, he needs to sleep sometime.”
“Right. Well, I’ll start at my house, okay?” You suggested. 
“Why would he be at your house?” 
“Because it’s the only place he actually spends time at besides your house. He knows it’s safe there,” you explained.
“What about your dad?” Damon asked. 
“He’s on a business trip in LA. Trust me, he won’t be back for another two days,” you assured. 
“Okay. Well, go ahead and get on going. You know how slow you humans can be,” Damon said. 
“Mhm, yeah. Bye,” you hummed, hanging up quickly. 
You let out a deep sigh, going over to your car. You hopped in, speeding to your house. You were thankful that is was nighttime and there weren’t any police on patrol. Not ones that were near you, anyways. You arrived at your house in five minutes, practically jumping out of the car. You went in your garage door, slowing your movements once you stepped inside the house. 
“Stefan?” You called out. 
You were met with silence. You closed the door behind you, walking into the kitchen. The lights were on, something that you had turned off before you left the house. 
“Hello? Anyone here?” You called out again. 
As you walked further into the room, you heard a clatter from upstairs. Your heart rate spiked, the possibility of the person in your house not being Stefan entering your mind. You walked to the stairs, climbing them cautiously. You saw the lights on your bathroom, your bedroom door wide open. You turned on some lights, your eyes widening as you saw a trail of blood leading to your bedroom.
Stefan’s definitely here, you thought to yourself. 
“Stef? It’s me, Y/n!” You exclaimed, walking towards your bathroom. 
Another clatter sounded from your bathroom. You picked the pace, putting your hand on the doorknob once you arrived at the door. You went to turn the handle, but it was locked. 
“Damnit,” you muttered. You held your other hand up to the door, knocking softly. “Hey, Stefan? Can you open up the door?”
You leaned against the door, pressing your ear up to it. You could hear the heavy breathing from behind the door. 
“Stefan? Unlock the door, please,” you begged. 
You could hear him sigh, footsteps approaching the door. 
“I-I can’t, Y/n,” Stefan said.  
“You can, Stef. It’s okay,” you assured. “It’s not!” Stefan exclaimed, something falling after his words. 
You closed your eyes in slight irritated and worry. You weren’t mad at Stefan. You could never be. You just wanted him to open up so you could get him cleaned up and help him.  
“If you don’t open the door, I’m gonna break it down,” you threatened.  “No offense, Y/n, but you’re not strong enough,” Stefan remarked. 
You groaned quietly, he was right. That didn’t stop you from trying though. You walked backwards, angling your shoulder so it was aligned with the door. You took a deep breath, bracing yourself for impact. Before you could even start running, Damon, Caroline, and Elena appeared in front of you.  
“What the hell are you doing?!” Caroline exclaimed. 
You furrowed your brows as if it were obvious. “I’m going to help Stefan.”
“Yeah, like hell you are,” Damon chuckled. “Let the vampires do the work.”
You rolled your eyes. “Don’t belittle me.”
Damon did nothing but roll his eyes in response. He stood in front of you, lifting his leg up and kicking your door open.
“Bet you weren’t gonna be able to do that,” Damon remarked. 
You said nothing and pushed past him, running into the bathroom. You heart broke as you saw Stefan lying on the floor, blood on the toilet and in the bathtub, your toiletries scattered everywhere. Stefan was curled up in the corner across from your toilet, shaking and sobbing. 
“Stefan,” you whispered, getting down on your knees and approaching him cautiously. 
“G-Get away,” he sobbed.  “No, Stefan. I’m not leaving you,” you shook your head, going to sit across from him. “It’s okay to be okay. You’re going to be okay. I’m going to help you.”
“I don’t want help!” Stefan shouted, lifting his head up from his arms. “I want food!” “O-Okay,” you nodded your head. “We’ll go to The Grill and get you something to eat. I-”
“I want more blood!” He hissed, veins appearing from under his eyes. Your jaw dropped as he reached out for you, his eyes on your neck. 
“Nope! Not today!” Damon exclaimed, rushing in and dosing Stefan with vervain. 
Tears welled up in your eyes as you watched Stefan’s eyes flutter close. Damon lifted Stefan up on his shoulders and walked out of the bathroom. You got up and followed him, begging Damon to leave Stefan for you to deal with. 
“You’re just gonna lock him up in the basement. He doesn’t need that!” You shouted. 
“You don’t know what he needs,” Damon muttered. 
You scoffed, looking at Caroline and Elena for help. You frowned once you realised they were on Damon’s side. 
“Seriously? Care, he is your best friend. Elena, I know you two have a past, but I know you still love him nonetheless. You can’t just let Damon do this!” 
“We’re sorry, Y/n. He’s really dangerous now,” Elena apologised. 
“Yeah, because he doesn’t know any better! All you three do is criticise and nag,” you said. 
“Okay, so the way Stefan is, is our fault?” Caroline scoffed. 
“Well, it certainly isn’t his!” You exclaimed. 
Elena sighed and walked over to you, putting her hands on each your arms. 
“Look, we’re sorry. I know I am. But you have to see that Stefan is dangerous now. The only way to help him is-” “Is to what, Elena?” You snapped. “Isolate him from his loved ones so he can feel even more pain once he turns his humanity back on? Yeah, good plan.”
“Y/n, c’mon, don’t be like this,” Caroline started. 
“No!” You shook your head and pulled out of Elena’s grasp. “This isn’t like you guys. I know seeing Stefan like this is scary, but that’s not an excuse to just give up. We are all friends, guys. Hell, I’m sure we all consider each other family. Family is supposed to protect each other. Not lock one of us in a dungeon when things get too hard.” It hurt you to see Caroline and Elena so hurt and full of tears, but you three knew that you were right. 
“I’m going to see if I can talk some sense into Damon, since obviously it isn’t working with you guys,” you muttered before pushing past them. 
Since that moment, you devoted yourself to helping Stefan. Not in the way your friends thought they were helping. You were going to show Stefan that it’s okay to drink human blood. That it’s okay to be a vampire and have struggles with bloodlust. You were going to show him the love that you knew he never gets when he becomes the ripper. But most importantly, you were going to be his friend.  
Every day for a two months, you visited him in the basement of his house where Damon insisted he stayed. You, Caroline, Elena, Damon and Bonnie worked on a plan to ween Stefan off of the blood and get him to turn his humanity back on.  It was a little against your purpose of helping Stefan. You did want him to turn his humanity back on, but you didn’t want to have to strip him from the basic necessities. You realised that fighting against the four people who were hell bent on doing exactly the opposite wasn’t going to work, so you went along with them. The only thing different you did was not taunt Stefan like Damon did and criticise like Caroline. You also had another plan worked up in your mind, but you didn’t dare tell the others. Not yet, anyways. 
“Bye, Elena! Hope you trip and fall up the stairs,” Stefan remarked as Elena left the cellar. 
“Be careful. He’s crabby today,” Elena warned. You gave her an appreciative smile, “Thanks.” She nodded and left you alone in the basement with Stefan. You opened the cellar door and went into his cage, seeing him chained up in his usual spot. 
“Oh, look, it’s Miss Do-Gooder. Where’s Blondie? I thought she was supposed to look after me after Elena,” Stefan asked. 
You chuckled at your nickname, knowing that if you let yourself get bothered by his rude attitude, it would distract you from the task at hand. 
“Caroline is out with Tyler today. She’s misses him and he’s misses her,” you answered.  
“Ah, I see,” he sighed. “Young love is amazing, isn’t it?” “It sure is,” you nodded. “I’ve experienced that before. With two women who looked exactly the same. I thought that one was better than the other, but no. They both left me,” Stefan chuckled. 
“Katherine didn’t leave you for Damon,” you disagreed. 
“No, but she did leave me to save herself. God, women are so selfish, aren’t they?” Stefan asked. 
You sat down across from him. “Hey, that’s not so nice. Save the comments about us girls for Damon, m’kay?”
“I don’t talk to Damon,” he rolled his eyes. “I know. Trust me, I wouldn’t either if I were you,” you agreed.
Stefan looked at you, narrowing his eyes. Even though you had told him countless times about why you were nice to him when he was so rude to you and everyone, he still didn’t understand. He knew that before he turned his humanity off, you two were good friends. He would even consider you and him to be closer than Caroline and him, but that still didn’t explain why you were so kind and patient. He guessed it was just because you were a generally nice person, but so was Elena and Caroline. Nothing really added up in his mind. 
“So, you have my food?” He filled the silence. 
“Yep,” you nodded and pulling out a water bottle full of blood and a bag of burgers from the backpack that was on your shoulders. 
“You got me human food, too? So generous?” Stefan smirked, reaching out to take the takeout bag. 
“Nu-uh. This is for me,” you shook your head, pulling the bag away from his reach. You unscrewed the cap of the bottle, sliding it over to him. 
“I can do that myself, you know,” he said, grabbing the bottle roughly. 
You watched as red surrounded his green irises. He downed the drink in seconds, gasping for air as he threw the bottle across the room.  
“I take it Damon didn’t give you any yesterday?” You asked.
“Nope. He’s such a dick.”
You smiled and took a bite of your burger, “So, how was your time with Elena?”
“Boring,” he answered flatly. 
“To be expected. I know you don’t talk much to the others.”
“You say that like I talk to you a whole lot,” Stefan said. You shrugged, “Well, I talk to you more than the others do.”
“True, and I don’t know why. it’s not like I even talk back.”
“You’re talking back now,” you pointed out. Stefan pursed his lips and gave you a glare. 
You grinned back. “I know, I’m a smart ass.”
“Well, you definitely got an ass,” he remarked, his eyes wandering from your face to your legs. 
You lowered your gaze at him, heat rising up your neck. Ever since he had turned off his humanity, he flirted with you everyday. He wasn’t the shy, loner boy you had grown to love. He was this flirtatious, irritated guy who just wanted to suck people dry. Hearing Stefan flirt with you wasn’t something new as you had been experiencing it in the past two months, but it definitely still made you flustered. 
“It’s so funny how shy you get when I compliment you. You’re usually so outgoing,” he commented. 
“Yeah, well, it’s not everyday that a guy says your butt looks nice,” you chuckled. 
“Well, except you do receive those comments every day because of me.”
“True,” you giggled, looking back up at him. “Hey um, don’t tell anyone, but I got you something.” “The key out of here?” Stefan guessed. 
“No, sorry, but I think you’ll like this more,” you said, pulling out a little water bottle full of human blood.  
Stefan’s eyes widened and got all red. “W-Why would you let me have this?”
“Because the rabbit and squirrel stuff everyone else is feeding you isn’t going to work. You need to learn how to control the blood thirst with human blood, not animal,” you explained. 
Stefan nodded and hummed, his eyes never leaving the bottle. 
“I’m not letting you have all of it. I’m just going to pour some into the cap and have you drink that much, okay?” You opened the bottle slowly, pouring the blood into the cap. 
Stefan growled, his mouth widening to show his fangs. You set the bottle down, taking the cap from the old bottle and screwing it onto the bottle full of blood. You set the small bottle in your backpack, holding the bottle cap full of blood steadily. You looked back to Stefan, seeing sweat beads line his forehead as he tried to contain himself. Even with his humanity turned off, he still didn’t want to hurt you. 
“You’re doing really good, Stefan,” you gave him an encouraging smile. 
“Get… Get that a-away from m-me,” he muttered, trying to move away from the blood, but he was only able to press himself against the wall. 
“No, Stefan. You need to be able to control yourself around blood,” you shook your head.   “I-If I drink that and get close to you, I could kill you.”
You let out a breathy smile, “No, you won’t. I trust you, Stefan.”
“Well, don’t!” He exclaimed, getting up from the floor. 
You sighed. You hoped he would be more relaxed around you. 
You stood up, approaching him slowly. “Hey, you’re okay. You can do this, Stefan. You are strong.” 
“I’m not,” Stefan shook his head furiously. Tears began to well up in his eyes. 
You frowned, your heart sinking to the bottom of your stomach as you began to think this was a bad idea. Damon warned you, but you decided not to listen. You were beginning to wish you had, though. 
“Why don’t I put this away and we can try this another day, okay?” You suggested, beginning to go back to the blood bottle, but Stefan stopped you. 
“No! Give me the blood!” He exclaimed, trying to move towards you, but the chains stopped him. 
“A-Are you sure?” You asked slowly. 
He nodded, swallowing hard. 
“Alright. I’m going to hold it up to your lips okay and you’re gonna take a sip,” you instructed. 
“What if I hurt you?” He asked. “Well, thank god I have this,” you chuckled and held up the Gilbert ring and a bag full of vampire blood. 
“That won’t save you when I rip your head off,” he growled. 
“You won’t,” you smiled softly. “I trust you.” “Don’t,” he warned. 
You sighed and ignored his words, walking up to him again. He leaned against the wall, holding his breath as the scent of blood got stronger. You got up closer to him, your eyes never leaving his. Getting up close to him brought up the feelings you had been pushing down ever since Damon locked Stefan in the cellar. You hoped your attraction to him wouldn’t cloud your mind while trying to help him. 
“Okay, just take it nice and slow,” you directed, holding the bottle cap up to his lips. 
His eyes flickered from the bottle cap to you. Sweat broke on his brow, his whole body shaking. Your hand found his, intertwining your fingers with his. You knew this was something you did before he turned his humanity off that calmed him down. You prayed that it still worked. 
You held up the bottle cap to his lips, watching him as he sipped the blood. 
“Good job, Stef. You’re doing great,” you praised. 
After he took a little sip, you began to pull the cap away, but Stefan’s hand left yours and went on your arm. You gasped at how much pressure he was putting. 
“Stefan, let me go,” you demanded. 
He only growled, bringing you closer so the he could drink more blood. 
“Stefan, stop!” You exclaimed. You threw the bottle cap behind you, the blood splattering all over the walls. 
“What the hell did you do that?!” He roared. 
“Because you need to learn how to control yourself,” you frowned. “And trying to take control of me won’t help.” “What did you expect when you fed me the blood, Y/n? You thought I would be well-grounded? Well guess what, Y/n, I’m not like that. I’m a monster. Someone who rips peoples heads off after I’m done draining them. You were foolish to think that I could change,” he sneered. 
“Well, I guess I’m always going to be foolish because I still think you can change!” You argued. 
“Give me the rest of the blood,” he demanded. “No,” you said sternly, trying to get out of his grasp. 
His hold on you only tightened more. You could feel his thumb digging into your bone. 
“Let go of me,” you hissed. 
“Not a chance,” he said lowly, veins growing under his eyes. 
You then began to feel afraid. “Stefan, stop. You are better than this.”
“Stop saying that!” He yelled. “You, Caroline, Elena, Bonnie, and even Damon keep saying that. You all act like you know me, but you don’t. So stop trying to fix me.”
The bridge of your nose started burning as tears welled up in your eyes. You thought you made it clear you weren’t trying to fix him, but just help. You guessed your intentions weren’t as pure as you thought. 
“Stefan, I… I’m just trying to help you. I’m not trying to fix you, y-you don’t need to be fixed. I-”
“Oh, yeah? Because you keeping me locked in this cage is not helping. You want to help me? Then let me out. Let me be the monster I truly am!” Stefan fought against the chains. 
“No! You are not a monster, Stefan! I know everyone else says that, but it’s not true. You’re right, I don’t know you. Not while you’re like this, and probably not when you have your humanity on, anyways, but, I’m not trying to fix you. Please, you have to see that. I’m trying to help you see that it’s okay to drink human blood, you just have to have to be able to control your thirst. There’s no shame in being a vampire or a ripper. You just should be able to control it,” you explained your intentions, tears rolling down your face.  
“What if I don’t want to?” Stefan asked. 
You swallowed hard, blinking rapidly as the tears fell from your eyes and straight to the floor. You looked up at him through your lashes, pain and betrayal written all over your face. 
“Why? Why would you want that for yourself?” You asked hoarsely. 
Stefan sighed, not liking the look on your face. “Don’t you get it? I’m a monster. I’m a ripper. I’m The Ripper. I’m not someone who can be fixed.”
You furrowed your brows, taking a deep breath to calm yourself down. As much as you wanted to yell some sense into him, you knew that wasn’t the right way to achieve your goal. 
“Okay. Why don’t you say we just take a break today?” You suggested. You went to pack up your things.
Stefan scoffed, “A-A break? This isn't a game, Y/n.”
“I know,” you nodded. “But we are both too worked up now. We should take a break and continue this tomorrow.”
“Continue what? You trying to fix me?” 
You frowned and turned to him. “No. Me trying to help you.”
————
“I can’t believe you’re still going with this whole thing,” Damon scoffed. 
“Like what you’re doing is any better,” you rolled your eyes. 
“It’s what Lexi did, and that worked!” Damon exclaimed. 
You frowned and turned to him. “You don’t think I know that? Look, I know you love your brother and you want to help him, but you need to try harder. And you’re obviously not doing that, so I am.”
“You’re just going to end up getting hurt,” he chuckled. 
“Well, at least I’ll get hurt trying,” you muttered, stomping away from Damon. 
You entered the basement, approaching Stefan’s cellar. 
“Oh, you’re back. Goody,” Stefan muttered.  “I’m happy to see you, too,” you sighed, going into the cellar. 
Stefan furrowed his brows, looking over you. “You look sad. Why?”
“It’s your brother and everyone else,” you answered. 
“Don’t let Damon get to you. He’s just mad that he’s not in control,” he said. 
“But he’s never in control,” you snorted. 
“Well, he doesn't like being blamed, either, which is what is happening,” Stefan added. 
“True,” you nodded. “Well, are you hungry? I made some sandwiches.”
“I think we all know that’s not what I want,” Stefan said. 
You smiled softly, “You’ll get your blood soon.”
“Ugh, please don’t tell me we’re gonna try that stupid control thing again?” Stefan groaned. 
“We are!” You sang. “Why? I hoped our fight brought some realisation to you,” he said. 
“It did,” you nodded. “I realised that I need to try harder. I can’t just get upset because you’re upset. I have to be strong… like Lexi.”
“You are nothing like Lexi, no offense.”
“None taken,” your shrugged. “Although I am not Lexi, I am me. And let’s be honest, you love me.”
“In your dreams,” he rolled his eyes.
“C’mon. I know you have your humanity off and whatnot, but I know you liked me when you had it on.” 
“Yeah, well, that was a different time,” he muttered. “Well, it’s gonna be the same, soon,” you breathed out. 
You held up the plastic bottle full of blood. 
“Give it up! You’re not gonna get anywhere,” he taunted. 
“I beg to differ,” you said.  Honestly, a part of you doubted your plan. But you had to keep the faith, otherwise, Stefan would be locked in here for the rest of his life. And since he was a vampire, that would be forever.
“I see the look on your face. You don’t think is gonna work either,” Stefan laughed. 
“Shut it,” you grumbled, taking the blood and pouring it into a little dentist cup. “I’m going to unchain you.”
“What?” Stefan’s eyes widened. He definitely wasn’t expecting that. 
“The reason why I’m doing this is to get you to be able to control, but also not feel guilty. I want you to be able to enjoy yourself when you drink blood. Part of having you accomplish that is to not have you chained up,” you explained.
“Okay, now you really have lost your mind,” he chuckled. 
“Maybe so, but like I’ve been saying, I trust you. You won’t hurt me,” you stated, unlocking the chains from his wrists. 
Stefan sighed and rubbed his wrists, enjoying the feeling of being free. 
“And you can’t tell me that you don’t enjoy being able to walk around now,” you said. 
“Yeah, I do,” he admitted. You smiled at him, taking the cup and holding it up to his nose. 
“Just smell it first,” you said. 
Stefan took a deep breath in, but not exhaling. He shook his head, stepping back. 
“I-I can’t. Look, you helping me and trusting me is real nice and cute, but you have to realise that you just can’t. If I get one taste of that blood, I will start to drink yours,” he walked backwards. 
You moved forward, urging him. “You won’t. I know you won’t. But even if you do try, which again, I know you won’t, but just in case, I have this.” You held up a syringe full of vervain. 
“I’ll kill you before you can even puncture me,” he said. 
“Well, let’s hope my reflexes are good,” you grinned. 
He hit the wall and you caged him in. You put your hand on his chest, holding him against the wall. He fought against you, but he was weak. It was taking all of him to resist not drinking the blood in the cup and honestly, not to feed on you, too. 
“Relax,” you demanded. 
As you held the cup up, you stared into his forest green eyes. You two were silent, the only sound in the room was both of your heavy breathing. Being so close to him, touching his chest, feeling his breath on your lips, it felt so much more intimate than sex. The way he looked at you made your brain foggy and knees weak. You knew that doing this would probably end up with you dead. But you knew that nothing in this moment mattered more to you than him. Not even your own life. 
You put the cup directly under his nose. You watched in part amazement and slight fear as veins circulated under his eyes. His eyes turned red and he barred his fangs. Sweat broke on his forehead and you could tell he was having a rough time holding himself back. 
“You’re doing really good, Stefan. Really good,” you assured. 
He let out a low growl in response, closing his eyes and inhaling the scent of the blood. The veins under his eyes grew impossibly more prominent and longer. You gulped in fear, but tried to keep a straight face. 
“W-Why don’t you take a little sip, yeah?” You suggested. 
He nodded, his eyes not on you anymore. You held the cup up to his lips, tipping it up. He sipped it, sighing in relief. He had been waiting a whole day to taste blood. 
“Good, Stefan,” you praised and began to pull the cup away, but his hand grabbed your wrist. 
“Stefan, no. You know what happened yesterday,” you warned, trying to pull away from him. But once again, his grip on you was too tight for you to even move your arm. 
“Stefan, let go,” you hissed, using all your force to pull away, but it didn’t work. He brought the cup up to his lips, downing all the blood. 
“Hey!” You exclaimed. “Need… More….” Stefan gasped, letting you go and throwing you across the room. 
You caught yourself on your feet, but your back still hit the cellar door. You let out a huff as you straightened yourself back up. You watched with wide, fearful eyes as Stefan downed the entire blood bottle. 
“Shit, Stefan! Stop!” You shouted, running over to him. You grabbed the bottle and threw it across the room, the rest of the blood splattering all over the walls. 
“That was mine!” Stefan roared. 
You gulped and walked backwards from him. He looked at you, grinning maliciously. 
“Guess I’ll have to catch my dinner,” he hissed. 
“No, no, no. Stefan, no,” you shook your head furiously. Your back hit a wall. Tears clouded your vision as you knew that you couldn’t escape Stefan. 
He approached you slowly, tilting his head and looking at you with murderous eyes. His arms went on each side of you, trapping you between him and the wall. 
“Stefan, th-think about what y-you’re doing,” you stammered. 
Your eyes were full with terror. You now wished that you had listened to Damon earlier. 
“I told you you couldn’t trust me,” he taunted. He lifted his head up, his fangs coming into view. 
“Oh, God,” you cried, tears running down your face. You went to grab the vervain shot, but Stefan was faster than you. He grabbed it and threw it across the room. It shattered as it hit the wall. Stefan turned back to you with a smile.
“Whatcha gonna do now, Y/n?”
You whimpered in reply, struggling against the hold Stefan had you in. His hands were on your arms now, squeezing you and holding you against the wall. You begged him to let you go as his face got close to your neck. 
“Your heart is beating so fast. I can smell the blood pumping through your veins. I bet you taste so sweet,” he groaned. 
You jumped as you felt his tongue lick right where your carotid artery was. You wished that he would be licking your neck in a different circumstance, but you knew that would never happen. Especially not after he was done with you. As you felt his lips settle on your skin, you took a deep breath, deciding to confess the big secret you had been keeping from Stefan. You closed your eyes tightly, putting your lips up to his ear before speaking. 
“S-Stefan, I… I love you,” you whispered.
As you prepared yourself to be bitten, Stefan stopped all movement. You opened your eyes and looked down, confusion written all over your face. 
“St-Stef?” You stuttered. 
He looked up at you, his grip loosening up on you. You looked up at his face. His face didn’t have veins on it anymore and his eyes weren’t red. Instead, his brows were furrowed and regret and confusion were shining into his eyes. It was the first look of humanity that you had seen on him in months. 
“You…. You love me?” Stefan asked. 
You breathed out, your heart still racing just as fast. “Yeah, I… I do.”
“Oh,” he gulped. He stepped away from you, looking around the cellar. “W-What happened?” He asked, pointing to the blood splattered on the walls. “Is this… Is this all yo-your blood?”
You shook your head furiously, moving away from the wall. “No. Not at all.”
“Oh,” he muttered. 
“Stefan…” Your voice trailed off. “I-Is your humanity turned on now?”
Stefan looked to you, his face all scrunched up in shame. “Yeah… Did… Did I hurt you?”
You sighed in relief, walking over to him. You reached out to touch his arm, but he dodged you. 
“Y/n, did I hurt you?” He asked. 
You crossed your arms in front of you, not looking him in the eyes. “N-No. You didn’t. I-I mean, barley,” you chuckled out. 
“Oh, God,” Stefan muttered. “Oh, God,” he moaned, putting his hands in his hair and pulling. 
“Stefan, it’s okay. I’m alive!” You exclaimed, smiling at him. 
He looked at you, his eyes wide. “So? I almost hurt you; the girl that I love.”
Now it was your turn to stop and reevaluate his words. 
“You love me?” You asked. You hoped you weren’t just hearing things. 
Stefan looked at you sheepishly, no longer freaking out. Your lips spread out into a smile and you ran up to him, putting your hands on the sides of his face and pressing your lips to his. 
Stefan kissed you back immediately, wrapping his arms around your back gently. Your hands snaked down to his neck, pulling him impossibly closer. Your chests touch and butterflies exploded in your stomach. You kissed him hard with passion, promise, and relief. Not only because you had wanted to do this since forever, but you finally had Stefan back. 
You pulled away for air, looking into his eyes. You started to giggle, pulling him in for another kiss. Stefan’s hands went up to your face, pulling you away just far enough so your lips weren’t touching. 
“I’m so sorry for almost killing you. I didn’t mean to. There’s no excuse for it, but I-”
You interrupted him with a short, sweet kiss, pulling away to forgive him. “I know, I know. It’s okay, Stefan. I’m just glad you’re back now.” 
He chuckled, “I thought you said that me being the ripper was fine.”
“I just wanted you to learn control and part of that is accepting yourself. I’m sorry if I pushed you too far.”
“It’s okay. You were right, anyways,” he shrugged.
“Really?” You chuckled. “Yeah,” he nodded with a smile. 
“Well, good. If I didn’t do all of that, you wouldn’t have turned your humanity back on.”
“True,” he nodded. “I um… I want to try the control training thing. Now that I have my humanity back on and stuff.”
Your face lit up in excitement and surprise. “Really?”        
“Yeah,” he smiled. “Wow, okay. Yeah, we can do that,” you smiled.
“Good,” he said. He grinned at you, taking your hands in his. “So,” he started, looking at you flirtatiously. “You love me, huh?”
You rolled your eyes in embarrassment, “Yeah, so?”
“Hey, don’t get all shy on me now,” he teased. 
You giggled, “Well, you also love me.” “Well, of course I do,” he shrugged shamelessly. 
You smiled from ear-to-ear, joy filling your heart. “Why don’t we get you into a shower and some food, yeah?”
“Only if you join me,” he winked.

March comes in like a lion, it's Portrayal of toxic & healthy relationship and how to compares rivamika + Ereh
Que the longest title everr 😌✨
So before I start on the actual analysis, I recently started watching March comes in like a lion instead of doing my assignments and I half way through season 2. For those of you who haven't watched it, it might be a spoilers so beware of that.
In this analysis I'll be comparing the similarities I found between Rei, Hina and Kyoko.
So watching any anime after being do emotionally attached to rivamika it's only natural that I compare them to the characters with even the tiniest bit similarities in their dynamic but Rei and hina's relationship jump in episode 4 of season 2 really caught me off guard and I was like omg?? Rivamika?? How do I make this about them 😩
Anyway so a little background on Rei's relationship with both girls Kyoko and Hina ( Hinata ). Firstly, i subconsciously placed Rei has Mikasa, kyoko has Eren and Hina as Levi, why? You will know on a minute. Rei is a depressed kid who has known only one way of life and that's through shogi games and after his parents death ( cough cough ) he was taken in by a old friend ( I think ) of his dad's who was also obsessed with shogi. Kyoko is the biological daughter of this man who has "adopted" Rei and later on Rei was came to know Hina and her sisters, they were super supportive of him from the start and having lost family members themselves they related to him on a personal level.
So you see why Eren and mikasa's dynamic matches with Rei and Kyoko and not only as "step siblings" it's also the fact that Rei became somewhat obsessed with her through the time he had spent over at their house, it's toxic and it's been showcased that way ever since kyoko was introduced into the series. Rei thought of her when he heard the word "love" and he even admitted to the fact that having her around is toxic and yet he can't push her away. He said he does not want to stop hearing her voice even tho she , herself is in love with a much older man who is married. Everytime she showed up to his bedroom uninvited and slept next to him my mind went "he is in love with her and their relationship is so toxic why does the author keep bringing her into his life?" Or "girl get the fuck away from him".
Without even thinking too much deep into their physical connection I already knew I would be able to related this dynamic to Eren and Mikasa. Although this series gives us much more depth into the main characters views since it's narrated from his own perspective, and the fact that he metaphorically compared his feelings of being lost and sadness helps me as an audience to understand what's happening much much easier than attack on titan. I personally feel like this kind of series are usually short ( idk how long this is) because it feels like the author knows exactly what he is going for, everything is set in stone.
Going back to Rei's ( mikasa's) relationship with kyoko ( Eren ) it's much much clear how toxic it had become for him in more than just one way. And the show isn't denying Rei of his feelings towards Kyoko and it's not even attempting to distant him from her and yet you just knew there had to be someone better right? That's when they introduced Hina and Kyoko in the same episode, meeting each other and a sense of invisible rivalry gushed over them, especially Hina. She is a happy go lucky girl and extremely sensitive to things to the point it kinda annoys me everytime she bursts out crying ( but hey you can't hate a genuinely good character ).
That's where things get interesting for me maybe because I am on that Levi X Mikasa agenda all the time but just like rivamika their relationship has been portrayed as platonic for the longest time in the seaosns. If I didn't go out of way to search up who Rei falls in love with and it didn't say hina's name I probably wouldn't be making this comparison right now because who wants to have their heart broken for the 2nd time in the same fucking month 🙄.
Anyway so in this one episode Hina comes home crying because of bullying issue at school and as she runs off into the dark streets Rei chases her and eventually catching up to her takes her hand and being able to relate to her problems, comparing his younger self to her present Rei reaches out his hand and God fucking damn it he says "you saved my life..I promise I'll stay with you" ofc I'm making this post now you know the real reason 🤡.
The unseen build up that happen between them reminds me of rivamika, the Portrayal of healthy relationship is rivamika. Hina (in our case Levi ) to Rei is the voice of emotion, she speaks out the feelings that Rei has been surpassing all these years inside of him. Just like how we talked about Levi is the voice of reason, while Mikasa has the impulsive urge to act up. Just like how Levi became the perosn who reasonably always took mikasa's side, he gave her personal reasons to take Erens side everytime have an actual meaning towards the scouts / everyone , he then became someone Mikasa was able to object & voice out her opinion towards because she knew that he would response and guide her the right way and finally he became someone she was able to fully trust.
Much like Hina and Rei, when Hina cried out her heart and Rei couldn't help but go back to his past self and imagine Hina coming to him and giving him a hand, being his saviour. It's much like how Levi saw his past self in Mikasa present ( S1 ), Levi gave Mikasa the hand she needed when she didn't know she needed.
Hina despite being much younger than him, was able to make him realise that he too was shutting out his emotions and was able to let himself be free through Hina when she cried, expressing her frustrations and very human like emotions. In the forest of the giant trees when Mikasa and Levi saved Eren for the first time he told her " we got your precious friend, didn't we?" A slight wake up call he had given her for the very first time, an attack on Mikasa's ego and evoking a different emotions within her. Like telling her it's not only about Eren and getting revenge, risking your life so easily, Levi had lost his entire squad in order to protect Eren so now that he is safe they better leave now.
So the question is did Levi and Mikasa save each other?
What can I say that I haven't said already in here about these two?
"you saved my life" Rei says to Hina as he reached out her hand and the beauty of that scene was the fact that it was delicate and soft despite it not being anything romantic. Remind me of that panel of Mikasa touching Levi's shoulder. How ironic is the fact that I'm comparing Hina, a openly emotional character to Levi who is said to be the most emotional inside?
Levi physically saved Mikasa a lot of the time however emotionally Levi saved Mikasa from being selfish and from herself. What if I said and ignoring 139, that Levi was one of of the biggest reasons Mikasa took the initiative and decapitated Eren that day?
Wait why does it feel like I already said it before lol
Through Levi, Mikasa learnt to trust more, learnt that even though they gave difference not only in height, age and in how they treat Eren ( Levi with force and Mikasa with care ), Mikasa still came in terms with Levi and relied on him, shared her burden with him. I think that's the biggest character twist Mikasa had, the fact that she was ready to draw sword at anyone who treated Eren wrong and everyone was scared of her and then came the grumpy shorty who beat her beloved brother right in front of her but eventually he became the biggest form of support she had in the end. I just can not help but laugh at all the unseen development this ship has had and all the implication of Futher interaction after season 3 between them, it's really obvious they had something going on because imagine you don't talk to someone for like 3 years and suddenly when you engage in battle against , paired up with them suddenly you become the strongest duo known to humanity. +?)!#)# make it make sense.
Sooo now you see the that having toxic relationship with a partner is only natural and inevitable but growing from that, opening your eyes to those who actually care there for you is rather healthy. So moral of the story is guys make sure stick with those who tells you to stay with them, the end.
Omg guys this turned out so much longer than I intended, anyway hopefully y'all liked it. I know it's not the strongest comparison or analysis but I feel like I'm running out of words for what I want to say about rivamika it feels like I'm recycling my sentences from previous analysis over and over again because ✨ lack of content ✨ and my inability to think of something new.
Please ignore all my spelling mistakes I have decided to embrace my mistakes instead of fixing them simply because I'm too lazy 😉
💜💜💜

I know you've said before that you think Caine and Drake are pretty one-dimensional (and I agree completely). I was wondering if there were any other villains that you wish had been explored more instead of giving those two more page time in later books. Or if there were any characters that you thought could have had villainous potential that were unexplored??
wow, interesting question! i think my main problem with caine and drake is that they’re just kind of blandly evil, one-dimensional like you said. i think, ideally, villains should feel like real people.
funnily enough, i think zil probably comes closest to embodying that in this series. he’s mean-spirited from the beginning, but it’s only under lance’s influence (from what i remember) that he becomes a real threat due to his gaining confidence. i think it would have been nice to see more of him in the series—he’s insecure in his role as leader of the human crew, which makes him fallible. he’s also kind of unnerved by lance’s neo-nazism. he’s arguably the most intelligent out of the crew aside from lance. he’s not sympathetic, per se, but he is compelling.
i would’ve liked to see him interact more directly with the protagonists—especially astrid, because i think she should get a chance to one-up him in some way after he was thinking creepy thoughts about her in hunger. also, i think astrid, being the smartie she is, would probably be most likely to try to persuade him to turn over a new leaf—she’s a normal, and a white, aryan-looking (gag) normal at that, which would probably satisfy lance, and she still has distinct power in the fayz. though zil could probably poke a hole in her argument by pointing out that she only really has that power because she’s sam’s girlfriend, which is true. anyway, they could have words about it.
i think zil is compelling because he has the potential to be redeemed. it’s a slight potential, because he’s already done some pretty evil things, but he’s not totally evil—he has to justify the violence he commits in order to accept it, which is more than caine or drake does. we never forget that, at the end of the day, he’s still an insecure, blustering twelve-year-old. he’s an anti-moof bigot, but he could change. i think lance, more than zil, represents total irredeemable evil. he represents what zil could descend into being. he’s the devil on his shoulder (astrid could potentially be the angel if she maybe switched tactics from lawful punishment to direct emotional manipulation).
i’m a sucker for human villains and natural disasters being the principal antagonists, which i think is why the first four books work so well? i think fear and light suffer from the gaiaphage taking control of the narrative, villain-wise, when i think it worked best when used sparingly. gaia is pure evil, nothing more. she’s fun to read about in her own way because she’s so villainously campy, but that’s kind of it. she’s not really interesting, imo.
i think the reason why i harp so much on the insufficient “humanity” of antagonists like caine and drake is because that’s the principal strength of books (lord of the flies, battle royale) in the “kids trapped in place and forced to survive” genre: what do the actions of the characters say about human nature? about society? about morality? in lord of the flies, the message conveyed is ultimately a bleak one: the kids all descend into savagery in one way or another, with the purest one of them all, simon (the jesus figure) being driven insane, and the intellectual (piggy) being murdered. the story is all about “the darkness in the human heart,” to paraphrase the last line of the book.
in battle royale, on the contrary, the message is ultimately one of hope. despite the characters living in a dystopian fascist society that sacrifices one class of students to a killing game, the main character shuya clings to the idea that he and his classmates can figure out an alternate way to survive the titular battle royale aside from murdering each other. his compassionate view of humanity is validated by the pov vignettes given to all his classmates. all of them are given distinct personalities; some are kind, like shuya and his allies noriko and shogo, and some are drake-esque sadists, while the majority fall somewhere in between (my personal favorite characters are the girls that team up with one another in order to protect themselves from possible sexual violence from the boys. they hole up in a lighthouse!). but all are tragic in the sense that they’re children thrust into an unfair and cruel situation. even then, though, the nobility of certain characters shines through.
for instance, there are two girls at the beginning of the game who are best friends and don’t want to kill anyone. they (foolishly or bravely) use a megaphone to call out to the other kids in hiding, asking if they can all band together. shuya and several other characters are tempted, but sadly the girls are both fatally shot soon after their announcement. they die in each other’s arms after affirming their friendship, tears in their eyes. shuya and several other kids are devastated by the girls’ deaths. while some more callous characters deride them as being stupid and naïve, the reader is ultimately meant to mourn their deaths and the lost potential of a class-wide alliance. they know that their enemy isn’t their classmates, but rather the fascist government that makes them kill each other in the first place.
anyway—tangent aside—i think those two aforementioned novels are really solid examples of the genre gone is in. gone has more of superhero vibe to it, given the focus on powers and mutations and paper-thin evil villains, but i almost think the way that’s executed almost detracts against the aforementioned “kids surviving, etc.” genre? like, that’s all about the messiness of morality and human nature and whatnot, and while superhero comics can weave that into their narratives (watchmen, the brat pack) those are usually deconstructions of the genre than straightforward examples of it. the superhero genre is usually morally black-and-white and really action-focused. this is why i think we get the strange tonal mixture of kids reacting realistically to the trauma of starving versus reacting fairly unrealistically when faced with brutal superpowered violence, such as when brianna decapitates drake like it’s nbd. or anything brianna does, really.
there’s a shift from the realistic to the unrealistic that’s fun, but tonally dissonant from each other. so there’s this sort of disconnect, at least for me. i sympathize greatly for astrid when she’s slapped by drake and forced to call little pete a slur, for instance, but how many times does drake or caine murder a kid in cold blood? at some point it gets...idk, old? as the violence gets more cartoony the less it interests me aside from morbid fascination, and there’s just so much of it. it gets desensitizing after a while. i think that’s why, even though i think it’s handled fairly believably in gone, i had a lot more trouble with the monster trilogy’s blend of absurdism (the animorphs-style mutations like dekka turning into a cat woman with medusa hair and another character turning into a praying mantis with super speed, etc.) vs. grimdark realism (ICE forcibly deports a character’s father, terrorist violence is a common theme, the san francisco bridge is destroyed, a baby boy is mutated into a giant fuzzy caterpillar and then gets blown up by the military—like this is budding dystopia-level dark and the narrative doesn’t seem to realize it). it just feels too heavy and too light at the same time. the contrast of tones does a disservice to both of them. idk what i’m saying let’s get back to your actual question lol
as for characters with villainous potential...hmmm. tbh i think astrid has villainous potential? i mean, i like the idea of her moral righteousness escalating in a way that makes her more morally gray. she’d have to probably latch onto more powerful kids in order to have any leverage over sam and the gang, given her powerlessness. maybe she could manipulate orc into being her bodyguard while she plots to usurp sam or something asgjsjk. i think she could be a powerful threat if she wanted to be! it’s fun to ponder. i heard of an au where she joins the human crew that i thought was sort of interesting!
what do you think, @goneseriesanalysis? any villains you wish had been dived into more, and/or characters with villainous potential you think would have been cool to explore?

✨Bad Batch E13 Spoilers✨
FYI this one is probably gonna be on the shorter side in comparison to my other episode posts, so let's take a look at my brain during E13...
- @fictional-men-ruin-lives WHEN I SAW THE TITLE OF THIS EPISODE!!! Omg I instantly thought of your post about the hive mind episodes
- Ok seriously though I know their armor protects them and all that jazz but for a group chaotic clone bros who are hiding from the government, they really do stick out like a sore thumb (like those guards(?) clocked them immediately)
-"And who are they?" Tech back at it again with the funky vocal inflections that I absolutely adore
- Ok it might just be me but my brain instantly went "Is that young Vizago?"... it was not but still
- WHY DO YOU HAVE CID'S NECKLACE? Is she dead? bro what’s going on?
- Tech, love, you can't just casually tell a child that a person they have kinda become friends with was possibly murdered
-Aye abrasive great aunt space lizard isn’t dead!
- Cid's soft spot for Omega is something I didn't know I needed
- "I believe she's threatening us." "You're quick." 💀
- Cid really said "I endorse Girlboss Omega" huh?
- TECH'S FACE WHEN CID COMPLIMENTED HIM!!!! AND WRECKER GIVING HIM A SUPPORTIVE SMILE!!!! AHHHH HE LOOKED SO PROUD OF HIMSELF I LOVE THAT DORK SO MUCH 🥺❤️
-"This is a stealth mission. You boys are good at that, right?" bitch have you met them?
- Aww Wrecker finally got a nickname from Cid...actually he got like four all in one episode (someone please talk to Echo...give him a nickname or something just please talk to the sweet boy)
- Love how Cid totally picked favorites and had Tech and Omega go with her
- Ew hive??? Please no bugs. Please.
-Wrecker'panicked whispering gives me life
- Tech lifting that whole ass trap door by himself 👀
- What is spice exactly? Is it honestly just ✨space drugs✨?
- Ew giant fairy looking bat things...lol wait why does this lowkey remind me of the whole flying keys thing in Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone??? Is that just me?
- If flashlights = torches...then what do they call actual torches with fire?
- Ruby. Love her. She is the moment.
- AHHHH PROTECTIVE BIG BROTHERS!!!
- WHEN I TELL YOU I LITERALLY MADE A FINGER GUN AT MY TV JUST BEFORE THE BOYS DID WHEN THE PYKES SAID THAT OMEGA HAD TO STAY BEHIND.....sis I need to go to sleep
- Awww Cid cares so much about Omega
- Wrecker's face after she said that she got Omega into this and she was gonna get her out is so interesting, but I can't quite place it. Facial expressions are one thing that I really like to focus on because they can say a lot about the characters.
- Wrecker and Cid are a chaotic duo and it's so funny to me
- Durand is a trust fund baby. Makes sense.
- Love how Omega can literally become friends wieveryoneone
- TECH IS BUILDING A THING! LOOK AT HIM GO! I'M SO PROUD OF HIM!
- WRECKER'S VOICE CRACK WHILE SCREAMING
- Lol why does Tech slouch so much when he runs? Like it’s adorable but also sir why? (giving me major “spencer reid running with a gun” vibes if you know what I mean) 
- "INCOMING!"...sir how did you fit a whole ass star into a two liter container thing
- Bruh I thought they were gonna straight up decapitate Durand
- Cid: "First round's on me." Boys: *aggressive sprinting*
FINAL THOUGHTS:
- "So no Crosshair or Howzer?" *throws phone. breaks skateboard* (pls someone understand my vine references)
- Bro I totally called the whole thing with the “this episode is gonna be dark” tweet. So glad 4 years of stage crew really helped me translate lighting nerd humor 
- So no one actually got infected by mind control worms.....weird (go see @fictional-men-ruin-lives post about that whole thing on Disney+)
- Ok y'all know me, I don't really like to be overly negative all the time, but I feel like this was a bit of a step back especially after the past two episodes. Like the episode was fine and all, but sis there's THREE EPISODES LEFT! Like wtf can we please stick to the central conflict/plot???
- While we are on the subject of us only having three episodes left, it's already not super great that they aren't getting into any character development with Tech or Echo (don't even get me started about Cross), but is it just me or did Echo barely talk. Like he's just kinda there and the only times he does say anything it's like a singular sentence and it only serves the purpose of trying to enforce the idea of him being "the grumpy one" (which I feel like is a waste of existing AND potential characterization from a writing standpoint)
- We better be getting another season. I'm so attached to all of them and there is so much potential for each of them as characters as well as a story as a whole. Looking back at S1 of TCW and Rebels, yeah they were a bit slow at some points, but that was because they were trying to establish a world with a decent amount of new characters. With this, we already got the baseline characterization of each of the members of TBB in S7 of TCW, but aside from Hunter and (to a lesser degree) Wrecker, we haven't seen a whole bunch of growth. Omega, who obviously wasn’t in TCW, is a pretty well rounded character who I personally find interesting and I love her dearly, so it's not a matter of "oh it's just the first season we don't have a lot of time to GROW THE PERSONALITIES OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS". Idk I just feel like there is so much potential and another season has to happen or I will go to the studio or office or wherever and write it myself. 
P.S.I'm sorry if my final thoughts section was a little more negative than the stuff I normally post, I just have a lot of things I wanna talk about and y'all just happen to be the ones who have to hear it 😐
Overall, the episode itself wasn't bad, I just think it's placement in the season doesn't really help in the whole cohesive storyline department.

I see you giving the Headless Horseman more love than anyone on the entire Tumblr so that is the character I ask about for the meme
I just...lobve himmm...an his honse...so much...
Tumblr media
Favorite thing about him: Everything? Okay I gotta pick one thing so...his laugh. God, I love that laugh. Instantly recognizable, presumably carries for miles, and just sounds so, so gleeful. That whole chase you can just tell he’s having the time of his afterlife.
Least favorite thing about them: That Disney doesn’t do stuff with him more often >:(
Favorite line: All he’s ever had is that laugh, and I just gushed about how much I love that laugh, so uh...ditto.
brOTP: With pretty much any of the villains, really, I think they’d all be pals. Except for Frollo. He’s definitely terrified of the Horseman.
OTP: With me? lol just kidding...unless? Really, though, with Shan Yu. Shan Yu and the Horseman all the way. Swords, horses, ruthlessness, it’s all there. While I don’t like it as much as the pairing with Shan Yu, a pairing with Constance Hatchaway sounds really good too. Especially since the Horseman was originally supposed to appear in the Haunted Mansion. He comes pre-decapitated, though, would that be a deal-breaker? Does she prefer to do that herself? What I’m getting at here is that the Horseman can swing that sword both ways
nOTP: Uh...is there a ship with his horse? If that’s a thing then yeah, that’s my nOTP. I think they have a very deep bond but deep bonds don’t have to be...like that. It’s more like a brother-and-sister kind of bond to me, or “friends who would tear the world apart if anything happened to the other.” But honestly most of the reason it’s a nOTP for me is cause...well I mean, she’s a freakin’ horse. I gotta draw the line somewhere. Maayyybe if she got turned into a human, but like...I dunno, he’s known her as a horse for way too long, I feel like it’d be too weird.
Random headcanon: He’s had Alptraum since he was a little boy. She was a horse born and raised on his family’s farm in Hesse, Germany. They basically grew up together. They were both the cutest and the most mischievous little boy and filly duo you’d ever seen.
Unpopular opinion: IDK if this is unpopular or not (honestly this is probably popular opinion but I couldn’t think of anything else to talk about here), but I’m a pretty firm believer that at least in the Disney version, the Horseman Ichabod encounters is the real deal. Though I also think Brom had a plan to impersonate the phantom to scare the daylights out of Ichabod, he just happened to see the actual Horseman zoom past him after a few minutes in the woods, and that was about when he called it quits on the prank war. Pictured below: an approximate estimation of what that encounter looked like
Tumblr media
Song I associate with them: The Headless Waltz -- Aurelio Voltaire. But like also the actual song about him from the short kicks ass. Probably my favorite of the pre-Renaissance villain songs (not that there was a lot of competition) Please listen to it if you haven’t already.
Favorite picture of them: 
Tumblr media
I cannot get enough of this scenario. Disney if you’re seeing this PLEASE put House of Mouse and its specials on Disney+ more people need to see that show

Wow I’m so sorry this was so long. But guess what? It’s gonna get even longer. Sorry, again.
So one of the differences between the first and second Thor movies is that Thor 2 has humor in the climax whereas Thor 1 doesn’t. This is because of the differences with who is the villain. In Thor 1, Thor is having to fight his brother. To quote Avengers, they “played together and fought together” for several millennia. Of course there’s not going to be any humor in it cause there shouldn’t be. The climax at the end of the movie isn’t supposed to be some epic battle between the forces of Good TM and Bad TM. It’s supposed to be tragic that he’s having to fight his own brother because Loki lost his mind due to so many factors. The last joke in the film is “You’re an amazon liar brother, always have been” “It’s good to have you back”. There’s nothing else till the end credit scene. That’s because Kenneth Branagh knew that this was supposed to be viewed at as being sad a hopeless, not some awesome upbeat battle.
Thor 2 on the other hand, is exactly that. Thor has known Malekith for.. what? 2 days? Maybe 3? His relationship and dynamic with Malekith is different than with his brother. To Thor, this is just another enemy attacking Asgard. And I’m not sure whether this was intentional or not (because I remember reading somewhere how Allen Taylor had a bitch of a time in the editing process so I think the movie came out different than he intended) but the lack of any personal relationship will Malekith means the film can make really funny jokes and still have it fit with the film. If anything, I might even argue that the humor helped the film to maintain a very nice positive vibe. Idk I can’t think of the right words to explain it but the jokes actually fit the film very well.
However, then we move on to Ragnarok. With Ragnarok, Thor is fighting his sister. While (just like Malekith) he has only known her for two days, that still doesn’t take away the fact that he is having to fight his sibling. And I’m not a film director but if I had the option of approaching this situation and taking it the Thor 1 route or the the Thor 2 route, I’d go with Thor 1. Because it’s actually incredibly tragic that Hela has been driven to insanity like Loki (though ok a different level) due to Odin’s shitty parenting. She is the horrible way she is because Odin made her that way. And that could’ve been an AMAZINGLY complex story with the audience feeling so much sympathy for Hela like we did with Loki in Thor 1, but the narrative just falls flat for two reasons. 1) Taika admitted he didn’t want the film to be emotionally complex so 2) The humor in the climax completely detracts from the seriousness of the situation.
Also, some side notes: Yes, this is edited from the original. I accidentally deleted everything and then had to go back and add everything back in. So I also had to re-tag people too. And I also added a bit more explanation at the end. I meant to do so when I originally posted but it never got done till now. Sry. Also sry that it’s so long

A Princess and a Barbarian Cheiftain ft. EreMika❣️
Hey, Braveheart anon! 💕 I see you! I hope you like it. I'm sorry it took forever to write .-. I pictured Mikasa as a warrior princess so I hope you don’t mind that lol. Please send in more requests! Also, an interesting fact from all the research I did for this one - the word "barbarian" did not have a negative meaning for everyone in the Roman Empire. It was actually used to refer to the people immigrating into their territory and not at all meant to be derogatory. I went back and forth with using historically accurate Barbarian Tribe names and writing in the Roman Empire but then I'd really have a restriction so ehhh, whatever. That's who I'm referring to when I say the "Empire'. Hope you enjoy because this damn thing took ages to fucking write! Shout out to my hubby for helping me with this! This is also a good time for me to introduce a new thing I’d like to try if people actually like it, add a drawing to my fics. Ever since I started writing this one I had a vision of Eren sitting in a chair like that with them both decked out in armor idk, I’m pretty rusty, it’s been a MINUTE since I’ve picked up my pencils, lol. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys. Yes, there’s smut, there’s angst, don’t think I have to actually put a warning in but someone complained .-.
It's a cold, frigid December morning and Princess Mikasa is on the back of her young horse with sights set on a local barbarian village because her father is finally responding to the violence done by their chieftain, a fierce and talented warrior. Emperor Ackerman wants to establish some sort of a peace treaty with him in the hopes of preventing such acts from ever occurring again, at least attacks that would be under his direction and blessing. The village is hidden behind a tall wall made from wood and what an impressive sight on the other side of the gate - a large, expansive crop field being tiled by farmers, crop animals being maintained for food and wool conveniently located near a tannery, where the hides are made into clothing then sold to villagers, and of course, a stables with a large grazing field for their horses. Mikasa was surprised to see a black smithery where one smith was currently molding a dagger out of scalding hot iron, his shop displaying many goods ranging from weapons to lock keys to horseshoes, all of the items she's seen the smiths make around her hometown. Villagers were minding their own business for the most part and working their trades, some grooming animals, some sweeping the dust out of their shops while children were running around a large tree in the center of town surrounded with dead leaves, giggling as they played tag and tossed such vegetation in the air. The princess gave her trusty steed's meaty neck a rewarding pat down by his shoulders, making his fluffy, dark ears perk up with interest, standing perfectly still as she carefully dismounted to put her stirrups back up into the saddle. Someone she recognized as being one of her father's previous subjects approached and copied Mikasa's smile when he was handed the reins. "Your Elegancy." The elderly man moved to bow respectfully and was stopped with a gentle, kind hand on the shoulder, looking up to meet her eyes with a confused expression.
"Please, that really isn't necessary, but thank you for being so respectful. Just take care of my horse for me, sir, that's all I ask."
"Of course! Some of the best hay in the area!" He turned with a smile to guide the twelve hundred pound animal into a temporary stall, where he carefully removed it's bridle and bit before locking him in behind a short, wooden stall door, allowing the horse to graze on some of their hay. Just like her Uncle Levi has taught her over the years he's been mentoring his young niece, she took in a deep breath to center herself with the advice he'd given her before she left this morning; You cannot make good decisions without a clear mind. Something that he's always insisted and Mikasa has definitely found that to be the case. And so one last time she thought through the steps Levi has constantly hounded into her head, since her parents were always too busy to raise their own child and teach these lessons themselves - the most important being to not let emotions get in the way of negotiations. The largest hut is the one she assumes to be reserved for the chieftain and it's guarded by two barbarian brutes that are definitely not intimidating at least to her, which is why she simply nodded as she opened the old, wooden door. It was difficult to maintain her trademark blank expression when she saw him - someone who doesn't even come close to resembling the stereotype that follows barbarian chieftains. There he sat upon a wooden throne boosted up on three stone slab steps and clearly missing the anticipated grisly bear of a beard in favor of a cleanly shaven, surprisingly handsome face that's framed with pushed back shoulder length, chocolate brown hair, his skin sun kissed from always being outside, and eyes so green that she swore her heart skipped a beat. What was just as surprising to her is that he appears to be about her young age of twenty four, something she didn't expect to be possible given such an impressive reputation. "Eren Jaeger?" Mikasa could feel herself blush when he responded with what she loathes to admit is quite a sexy smirk, her cheeks red already from being in the cold, and she watched his eyes as they clearly sized her up. The young man sat taller in his seat and was genuinely unsure if his eyes were in fact deceiving him because surely one of the princesses wouldn't be a warrior, but based on the armor she's wearing, it's obvious that this ravishing creature fights for the empire.
"Ah, your Elegancy. What can I do for you?"
"This destruction has gone on for long enough and it has to stop, so I've been sent here to negotiate peace."
"Why would the empire give a damn about what we do?"
"We assume that you're the one responsible for that local town being decimated? You know," Mikasa sighed as she crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow. "The fifth one this year?" He simply gave her a slow nod and pulled his hair back into a small, low ponytail at the nape of his neck, now flashing an amused grin that she's counting things out for added effect. "Okay, we'll continue. How about all of those castles that have been destroyed? The crop fields bunt? The countless Lords and knights you've killed? I realize someone else could have done this, but you're our most problematic tribe." Eren smiled and nodded his head, leaning his cheek on his fist because she’s simply alluring.
"Oh no, that was most definitely me."
"Why? You have killed so many people! Why?"
"I've been doing it for years now. Why would you get involved now?"
"Because you're out of control! What is the meaning of this?"
"You aristocrats and your stupid government have some laws that tend to be harmful to my people and I simply cannot have that. I refuse to tolerate injustices of any kind when there's something that can be done about it!" Eren leaned forward in his throne as his fists slammed into the wooden arm rests and was surprised when she didn't cower, it seems he won't be getting his way with this one. "Besides, I tend to attack other tribes that fuck me over and I could care less what your father thinks of me."
She simply rolled her eyes.
"What could those people have possibly done to warrant such extreme violence?"
"The most recent village happened after I had attempted to establish a peace treaty with their leader, so I sent one of my best men over. Only his head returned three days later hanging off the horse's saddle."
"I'm sorry about your loss," And then her expression fell sympathetic when she pictured a sight so horrific. "I really can't imagine." His face softened as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
"Yeah, well, I know you're not here to give your condolences. You want peace with me?"
"That, and I would love to actually give the families of Lords and knights some kind of closure instead of just staring at them blankly -" She paused to take a deep breath when she remembered that day in battle, where a very dear friend was ruthlessly murdered. Nobody could have done anything to stop the blitz attack, because the one who killed him rode past on their horse so quickly that there wasn't any time to respond. And suddenly her face grew as fierce as before. "One of my Uncle's best legionnaires was killed in battle last year with your men. I was there when he was decapitated, Eren, and the killer looked an awful lot like you." In a second his eyes screamed irritation and he sat forward in his throne almost growling.
"Yeah, I know exactly who you're talking about. That asshole was responsible for wiping out half of my men with your Uncle's assistance! Those people had families!"
"He left behind a wife and two little boys!"
"And should you aristocrats decide not to feed these people when they inevitably become poor," Eren smirked as he cracked his knuckles because he knows that his words have made her angry and he finds it extremely amusing. "I'm happy to take them in as I so often do when they wander away from the city. Those two morons back there were originally a part of your father's empire." The girl knit her brows together and growled under her breath because she's all too aware of the empire’s failings when it comes to caring for its people who aren't wealthy. She snarled under her breath and allowed her hands to curl into fists at her sides.
"Why, you gargantuan piece of -!" Mikasa paused and took a deep breath to collect herself. "I'll have you know that he was a very good man and someone you probably could have taken some pointers from!" Those words immediately changed the room's atmosphere and both of them felt it as they tried to intimidate the other with their increasingly heated exchange.
"So what," He rose from his throne tall and definitely commanded the room with such an intimidating presence, smelling of ale and nature. "Because I'm brutal with my enemies, I can't be a gentleman?" The fur pelt around his neck swayed as he slowly walked down the slab steps, their eyes watching each other with mutually fierce expressions. Now, this woman is stunning. Until the princess waltzed in, Eren has never really felt tempted enough to bother with something as distracting as being in some kind of relationship, but she's definitely worth the effort. There truly isn't anything he finds sexier than a woman this passionate, actually cares, and actively pursues justice, hell, the fact that she's so attractive is nothing more than icing on the cake. Her eyes are a beautiful gray-blue and they go so well with long, silky black hair that frames such a slim and angelic face, matching perfectly with her fair skin. Yes, Mikasa certainly is every bit as breathtaking as he's so often heard her described from others that had the privilege of being graced with her presence. But he can tell from her body language that his usual intimidation tactics haven't managed to get things straightened so far and with a glance behind her, he nodded at the two men standing guard at the building's entrance. "You two. Out. Now." His eyes flickered down to hers once more as he reached for a water canteen and brought it to his lips, finishing whatever was left in a large gulp before setting the empty container down on the table. She crossed her arms over her chest and sighed deeply.
"You certainly don't behave like a gentleman."
"Aw, that isn't a very nice way to negotiate, princess."
"I hate being called that. And I'm only behaving this way because you're being an ass. How dare you speak to me that way!"
"Respect is earned, princess," Eren smirked as he slipped his hands into his fur lined pockets, eyes giving her a second once over. "And I have no respect for the empire. You have a failing economy, the taxes are much too high, and you're so lazy that you literally use barbarian tribes to guard your fucking borders! Just what kind of an army is your Uncle running?"
"Well, it's better than a bunch of assholes who rape women, murder innocent people and destroy lands!"
"This tribe doesn't rape women. I've actually had quite a few of my own men executed for doing that. And I don't have people executed unless I think it's called for." Because he was just as passionate about this response, Mikasa reasoned that she's being told the truth when he insists such behaviors aren't tolerated here. "But I won't deny destroying lands, crops, killing Lords and knights, because I did all of that to protect my people. We're fighting for our lives just like everyone else." She briefly looked away with a sigh and pushed her fingers through her hair when she met his eyes once more with a considerably softened expression.
"I appreciate that, Eren, I really do, but if you don't it knock off the brutality, I'll be forced to have you and your men executed."
"Oooh," The young man smirked as he took a few steps closer to her and was surprised when she didn't back away, only flashed a genuine smile he finds to be extremely beautiful, pressing her fists into her sides. How cute. "Is that a threat?"
"No, actually, it's a promise," Mikasa smiled and bit her lower lip as they intently studied each other's eyes, an amused grin teasing his lips because he's never felt so attracted to someone before and boy does he want her. "I already have permission to have you all killed. Hell, I'll decapitate you myself."
"A princess that yields a sword? You are as impressive as I've heard."
"I have a collection." She flashed a devilish grin and cocked an eyebrow, very aware that his eyes are drawn to her lips and she was extremely flattered. Little did she know that smirk he wears is because he's ashamed to have already wondered briefly if she's this playful in bed.
"What's in it for me if I cooperate?"
"You mean besides living?"
"I think you know exactly what I meant." Eren brought a hand to his mouth, itching the corner with his finger as he briefly looked away because he's extremely amused, especially now that she has taken a few steps closer with her eyes still glued on his. They flickered down to his lips, her rational mind quickly being over powered since she's giving some serious consideration to defying Levi's instruction and giving in to this undeniable, magnetic spark between them that neither are really willing to resist. Love at first sight indeed.
"You won't be invaded and we won't destroy your crops."
"While that is appreciated, I'm afraid it's just not enough."
"Any tribes that you struggle with?"
"Yeah," He crossed his arms over his chest as they got closer and smiled at just how much he's truly enjoying this fire she has. "There are a few. Unfortunately, we aren't quite strong enough to deal with them on our own now thanks to your Uncle, since they're many in number and much larger than the ones I've already taken care of." The young woman bit her lower lip as she studied his face, so chiseled and handsome. Even the man she's been engaged to since she was four doesn't look at her like this.
"We can help you fight them."
"You also have a few of my people in custody that I'd really like back."
"Okay," Mikasa smiled as she pushed her fingers through her hair, the strands slowly falling before her eyes. "I can get them out of jail and talk with my father about maybe getting their charges dropped." He just slowly nodded his head in agreement and smirked as he closed the small gap that remained between them, an action that made her cheeks a little rosy.
"Now, that is an interesting offer."
"Well, wait a second, you need to hold up your end," She hesitantly placed a hand on his chest and was relieved when he simply smiled instead of backing away. "All we want is your cooperation if we have to fight other tribes. We may have a large military, but there's only so much border and territory we can cover on our own. The empire has grown quickly and continues to do so." Her eyes flickered from his eyes to his lips, waiting patiently for what she hopes will be good news. So much for not letting my emotions get involved..
"Fine." Eren smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and placed his hands on her hips, leaning in slowly to kiss the lips he's admittedly been eying since she walked in. But the door suddenly opened, and they rushed to pull away as one of his men stuck his head in the room to deliver a message having unknowingly interrupted their first kiss. "What is it?" He hissed out of frustration because he was finally about to kiss her after bickering back and forth with palpable sexual tension for almost an hour. Mikasa bites her lip, clasping her hands together behind her back as she impatiently watches him speak with one of his men.
"Sir, our scouts have returned. They determined that the new nearby tribe isn't a threat."
"Yeah, okay, thank you." Eren was already moving to grab her by the waist as soon as the door closed with a mutually playful smirk. "So, like, do you always negotiate peace treaties with yourself? Or am I just lucky enough to be the first one?"
"Luck had nothing to with what's about to happen," Mikasa smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him closer until their lips were almost touching. "I want you so badly.." She whispered, letting out the softest moan when he finally kissed her, a moment so magnetic, so magical that it truly seemed as if they were the only two people in the world and nothing else mattered but them. The encounter left them both feeling dizzy and that lingered long after he pulled away, her nose slowly rubbing alongside his.
"Maybe we should find somewhere more private?" He breathed to her smile and smirked when she backed away enough for him to see her biting her lip, and he was more than happy to drag her by the hand out the back door so his people don't see them leaving together for the chieftain's private living quarters. Their hearts were already racing once they got on the other side of the door and the tension had reached a new high as she started removing her armor to reveal basic cold weather clothing; several tunics, wool leggings and socks with her tall leather boots. Mikasa chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her waist with a smirk and pulled her into his solid form, sliding her hands along his fur cape to lift it over his head, tossing it on the floor. She crashed her lips against his and jumped up to capture his waist with her legs as they slowly wandered to his bed together, exchanging frantic kisses and carefully laying her on her back. Large hands slide beneath multiple, wool tunics and she was disappointed when their lips had momentarily parted so he could tug them over her head, revealing an insanely slim and beautifully toned body that he was already very drawn to.
"You're fucking gorgeous."
"Thank you.." She blushed as he grabbed onto one of her legs, smiling and watching her eyes while he pulls off her boots, then leggings and socks. Mikasa sat up on the edge of the bed as she reached for his layers of warm tunics and slid them up his body with her hands, which encouraged him to remove them and toss the bundle aside. Her cheeks immediately grew red at the best set of abs she's ever seen as he reached behind her back to loosen her corset until she was able to remove it still in shock - slim, slender, absolutely ripped. "Wow, and you say my body is incredible?"
"That's because it is. At the risk of sounding crass, I've been with quite a few women, and you're just top notch gorgeous. And a tough as hell. Which is even hotter."
"Were any of them good at giving head?" Mikasa grinned as she placed a gentle hand on his bulge and slowly slid it up to tuck her fingers behind his wool pants and sheepskin underpants. "Because I've been told I do.." He smirked as she dropped everything to his ankles and proceeded to gently curve her fingers around the thickness, her tongue lapping at the tiny amount of goo oozing from the sensitive tip. With a low groan he carefully gathered her hair away from her face and watched as she opened her mouth, leaning in slowly to control how quickly she swallows his long length, nuzzling her nose at the base in soft brown hair.
"Fuck, you are good..." Eren chuckled with a simultaneous moan as she gently pulled back with her cheeks sucked in, just enough to add her hand back into the mix so she can stroke with gentle twists of his shaft. She suddenly picked up her pace as she stroked and sucked him in tandem, making his hips jerk with his slightly louder groans and moans. But she was prepared and swallowed his length eagerly once more, content with him slowly pumping into her mouth. "You are literally the perfect girl, holy shit -" He paused when she moaned softly around him and slowly released his length from her mouth with an audible pop, biting her lower lip as she lay back on his bed so he can climb on top. "I realize now what I said just came across that you're only the perfect girl because you give amazing head, but I didn't mean for it to." She giggled just loud enough for him to hear as he began to tug down on her underpants, his eyes watching hers for any sign of hesitation only to find nothing but pure lust.
"You were fine, but thank you anyway.."
"Of course," Eren smirked as he leaned in to kiss her and tossed her underpants aside, their lips only parting so his can wander agonizingly slow down her body. "Now, where were we?" She grinned, blushing furiously as her hips are hoisted up over his shoulders so he can drag his tongue along her glistening slit and she grasped onto both of her breasts, watched him munch away at her sweet spot from above while her body dangles off of his.
"Erenn...." She squeezed her breasts as he stretched his arm down to touch one of her breasts, surrendering control over how hard he squeezes to her. His lips sealed around her clit, suckling in just the right way that caused an almost immediate climax and inspired him to playfully pop his hand on her ass, making Mikasa giggled as squeals with delight, struggling endlessly not to grind against his mouth because he's holding her so tight. "Ohh! Please, please!" She pleaded through her helpless moans and blushed a shade darker when he opened his eyes to hers, slowly pulling his lips off to plant a kiss over the pink skin. He smiled as he carefully lay her down on the bed and leaned in to kiss her, his hand wandering down so he position himself at her entrance. They both moaned into their increasingly passionate smooch as he carefully slipped deep inside the heat, lingering here to let her body get used to him being in there. Suddenly, he was thrusting into her so quickly, that it forced her to tear her lips away, watching his eyes as he absolutely railed her. "Eren! Eren! Eren!" With a most pleasurable cry she clawed at his back, letting out the occasional whimper amidst her helpless moans. And the sight of her clearly feeling satisfied made him smirk, something that she's certain will always make her heart skip a beat. "What?"
"Nothing, you're just ridiculously sexy," He paused when her eyes rolled back in pure bliss and she came hard, slowing his thrusts significantly since he's not quite ready to finish yet. "Seriously, I knew I had to have you as soon as you walked in." Those beautiful eyes opened to his and he offered a heartwarming grin as he leaned in to kiss her once more, thrusting into her deep and slow. She sighed into his mouth, reciprocating his thrusts as she pulled her lips away with a moan and giggled softly, placing a gentle hand on his cheek to touch the prominent dimples she's already loves.
"You look nothing like what I expected."
"What do you mean?"
"You're ridiculously hot.." She grinned as he suddenly took off and slammed into her, his smirk making her belly burn with desire as he stops again, sliding his hands beneath her back to encourage her to roll onto her stomach and she did so slowly, giggling small giggles as he gently pulls her up on all fours by the hips.
"I am?" Eren whispered in her ear as she eagerly spreads her legs for him, his cock still nestled deeply inside. "I'm ridiculously hot?"
"The only other cheif I've met wasn't even close to being attractive. But you are just..." Mikasa grinned when she felt his hands warm hands curve around her slender hips, his kisses slow on her spine and a smirk evident against her skin. "...the complete opposite."
"Last thing I expected when I woke up this morning was a sexy warrior princess to shiw up.” His husky voice whispered to her as he kissed up her back, making the entirety of her fair skin blush a light shade of pink. She moaned at the sound if his voice and pushed herself back against him, making her moan in such a way that he couldn't help but do the same.
"I should have guessed someone as stubborn as you would be a tease.." She purred immediate, pleasurable sounds when he took off and thrusted into her so quickly that neither  could think a coherent thought. She slowly slid her arms out until she could rest the side of her face on a pillow, clawing at the sheets and moaning loud whimpers. "Eren! Eren! Eren!"
"Mikasa.." He whispers breathlessly in her ear as she moaned through her climax, slowly pulling her hips back into his and pushing them forward. "I'll help protect your borders if you let me see you again. I assume you're like most princesses and are already engaged or married to another man, but to be honest, I really don't fucking care."
"I don't either, my fiancé is already cheating on me anyway. He even has a kid with her. Wait, you know I'm engaged to someone else, yet you still want to see me again?"
"I'm sorry," Eren's voice was genuine, soft and husky in her ear. "He sounds like an ass. Why are you so surprised that I want to see you again?"
"I didn't think you felt anything between - ah! aha! ah!" She squealed with delight when he suddenly took off and absolutely drilled into her and she loved it. "Oohhh!" Her hips started to tremble and she whimpered pleasurably, white knuckling the sheets as she bounces her hips back against his.
"I can't get enough of you already! Fuck! You're like a drug!" He moaned with her as he dug his fingers into her hips and guided her faster, sending his lover into an equally euphoric state. "I'm gonna cum!" In one swift movement he quickly pulled out at the perfect time and exploded all over her back with countless groans, hisses, and low moans. Eren held onto her tightly as they collapsed together on their sides and made her the little spoon, both hearts thumping hard against their rib cages. She sighed happily and yawned as she reached her hand up to push her damp hair back, already feeling sleepy from the most incredible sex she's ever had. “Damn, you’re incredible.”
"Mmm," Mikasa hummed with a smile and stretched back against him as he kissed any skin he could readily reach. "We need to figure out how to sneak you into my bedchamber.." His embrace is warm and welcoming as they settle beneath the blankets, basking in the heat coming from the fireplace that's giving the now dark room an orange glow. It's safe to assume that an unspoken agreement has been made between the two and that at least this tribe will no longer be of concern, all thanks to the negotiations between a barbarian chieftain and a princess.

BnHA Chapter 232: Giant Bitchslap Arm
Previously on BnHA: Gigantomachia woke up and started ninja-running toward Aichi prefecture. Then all of a sudden we cut to Hawks just chilling on an Osaka rooftop with a bag. Everyone was like, “whoa, Hawks, what are you doing in this arc?” Hawks was all “well I’ll show you” and then he had a flashback where he fucking murdered Best Jeanist, probably, and everyone was like “um, hey, what the actual fuck” and Hawks was like “well you asked” and we were all filled with regret for having done so. Back in the Ol’ Villain City, Twice caught up with Tomura and Spinner and they were very happy to see him, and Tomura was like “so anyway we’re almost at Re-Destro’s tower and I can’t wait to fucking kill that guy” and the others agreed but they also worried that Tomura was too exhausted to keep this up much longer, and so Twice went on ahead to try and finish off RD on his own. The chapter ended up with Twice #241762-D arriving at the top of the tower to confront RD and rescue my boyfriend Giran.
Today on BnHA: Twice creates some clones of Tomura and the gang to help him out. Re-Destro then insta-kills one of the clones and tells Twice that he’ll kill Giran if Twice uses his quirk any more. He then makes his arm go all big and he just fuckin’... [gestures wildly] WHIPASH!! and just smacks them all to death, and then he goes over to where Giran is and gets ready to kill him while he and Twice are having a moment. Thankfully the not-quite-dead-yet Tomura clone intervenes, and as he fights him, Re-Destro launches into a big villain monologue about the Mother of Quirks, a.k.a. the mother of the first superpowered child to ever be born. Long story short, that baby grew up to be Destro, and his mom was all “please be kind to him and let him live in peace!” and so they fucking killed her because people are terrible. As RD is wrapping up his story and about to kill the clone Tomura, the real one reaches the tower and is all, “TOUCH!!!” This is the single most badass thing anyone has ever done, and the chapter ends with a wobbly Tomura confusedly interrogating an enraged Re-Destro while “We Will Rock You” by Queen plays in the background omfg.
(All comments are my unspoiled reactions from my initial readthrough of the chapter. I did a quick edit for grammar and clarity immediately afterward, and added one or two ETAs in the process, but aside from that there are no changes.)
so this happened again
Tumblr media
listen here my anonymous friend, thank you for not spoiling me, but I do have to say that if your goal was to have me once again approach this chapter in stark terror, mission accomplished lol
here’s how it’s gonna go. I’ve got a mirror, and we’re gonna use it to cautiously peek around corners before clicking to the next page, and from what I understand that should protect us from being instantly killed by Horikoshi’s murderous basilisk glare. the characters, on the other hand, well...
what kind of sound effect is this
Tumblr media
glomp glomp? are these Horikoshi sound effects? does he know his little Twice clones are making enthusiastic hugging sounds?? and yet this is oddly in character though
also it looks like he’s cloning at least one Tomura and Dabi! so that should be fun. we get to see RD presumably murder them all on this little test run, and then they’ll hopefully have a better idea of how to approach this on their second go-around
RD says he had a lot of guards down below, and he’s praising Twice’s quirk. well, his “superpower”, anyway
that was the title of this chapter, incidentally; “quirks and superpowers.” I do vaguely wonder why they’re so insistent on using different terminology for it, and I wonder if there’s an actual reason for that
anyway so now Jin is yelling at the clones that they’re clones. so it’s okay if they die and stuff. lol. I’m sure that makes them feel a whole lot better
you guys this is fucking amazing though
Tumblr media
I wonder if this Tomura is less sleep-deprived? also, Twice duplicated the hands as well! that’s something that was pointed out to me a little while ago, back when they were fighting Gigantomachia. this actually seems a bit iffy to me now that we’ve been reminded that he needs to understand the details of something in and out before he can copy it. like, he couldn’t copy the quirk-be-gone bullets because he didn’t know how they worked. but somehow he knows how these hands work though??
or maybe he doesn’t, and these hands don’t actually work like the Real Deal hands. that’s probably the case actually. so anyways I wonder if this Tomura will act a little different. I’m probably overthinking this to the extreme lol
and Twice and Dabi are making the exact same joke I made three paragraphs earlier about “that should make them feel a whole lot better.” get your own material you assclowns
last but not least, lol at him having to reiterate his tale of bravely overcoming past trauma yet again to Compress because he missed the whole story. poor Compress, all confused and out of the loop. I wonder if Twice duplicated his robot arm. it’s hard to tell in the picture whether it’s missing or he’s still just in the process of creating it
oh shit
Tumblr media
heh. it’s possible Jin has not thought through the potential long-term consequences of this little undertaking at all sob. but that’s a problem for future Twice! right now current Twice has more important things to deal with, like kicking Re-Destro’s ass
yeah, you see, he’s all “don’t worry about that right now” and presumably tucking that whole notion away someplace in the back of his mind to be properly fucked up by later on. as anyone with ADHD can tell you that’s clearly the best way to deal with all of your problems
-- oh shit and it looks like this particular Twice doesn’t really need to worry about that anymore in any case
Tumblr media
what is it with people in this manga being decapitated lately. who hurt you Horikoshi
uh, so. hey
Tumblr media
are they?? they fucking outnumber you by a ton. though as you’ve just ably demonstrated, that doesn’t necessarily mean anything
fuck. okay let’s pause this for a sec to get our bearings here. so a bunch of clone Twices have RD cornered with a clone Dabi, Tomura, and Compress, all of whom have their own quirks, but presumably weaker versions of them. they’re also each basically one hit point away from a swift death, which is definitely something to consider
meanwhile RD has just the one of him, but possesses an unknown quirk, and does not seem to be at all fazed by the current situation which is a bit unnerving. oh yeah, and he does still have a hostage, though, if the others insist on taking their sweet time to go and untie my boy Giran. yeah. so that part’s also not good. dammit Twice untie him already
SHIT
Tumblr media
MOTHERFUCKING -- OKAY JIN, LISTEN UP, NORMALLY I’D TELL YOU TO CALL HIS BLUFF, BUT A LITTLE MOUSE (ETA: referring to poor dead Miyashita, not the anon from earlier! I only just realized how that could possibly be read as being weirdly passive aggressive or something and that’s not the case! sorry anon!) INFORMED ME THAT THIS GUY DOESN’T ACTUALLY FUCKING PLAY AROUND, THOUGH. I HAVE A FEELING HE CAN AND WILL DO EXACTLY WHAT HE’S PROMISING, SO PLEASE TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY OMG I DON’T WANT YOU TO HAVE ANOTHER FRIEND’S DEATH ON YOUR CONSCIENCE AFTER WHAT HAPPENED WITH MAGNE
sob. where’s that mirror omg
okay... and we’re cautiously clicking forward... and good, Jin looks appropriately shook
Tumblr media
maybe a little too shook. look I didn’t mean for you to just immediately freeze and surrender though, guy
aww but Tomura’s reassuring him
Tumblr media
yes but as I already explained, you’re all technically one love tap away from the sweet embrace of death here while he’s at full power. it’s iffy dude. idk. I really like that you immediately spoke up to comfort your bro though! the League of Gentle Hearts continues to warm my soul
oh my god but seriously look at them
Tumblr media
even Dabi is getting in on the friendship action. even if I’m not quite sure how he intends to not burn Giran to death along with RD lol. but at least his heart’s in the right place
-- oh shit
Tumblr media
THEY LOOK SO WORRIED OMG AND LOOK WHERE RE-DESTRO IS STANDING
Tumblr media
A COLD FUCKING CHILL JUST WENT DOWN MY SPINE OH GOD NO I’M NOT READY FOR THIS. I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU TOUCH A HAIR ON HIS SEXY GRAY HEAD I WILL WREAK VENGEANCE ON YOU SUCH AS THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN, AS SOON AS I’M DONE SOBBING MY FUCKING EYES OUT
SOB I DON’T WANT TO TURN THE PAGE. THE MIRROR ISN’T WORKING. HORIKOSHI IS A SADISTIC FUCK WHO HAS NO QUALMS ABOUT KILLING OFF EVERYONE I LOVE. BEST JEANIST, GIRAN, THE DOG. EVERYONE!!
SOBBB NOOO --
WHAT THE CHRISTING FUCK
Tumblr media
OH MY GOD NO PUT IT AWAY!! HORIKOSHI KOUHEI I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON’T STOP RIGHT NOW!! I MEAN IT YOUNG MAN!!
SOB HE’S DRAWING IT OUT FOR ALL IT’S WORTHHHHHH I CAN’T I’M NOT PLEASE WHY
Tumblr media
FUCK YOU AND YOUR COMEDIC INSERTION OF FOUR ADDITIONAL TWICE REACTION PANELS YOU PITILESS BASTARD!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media
THE BASILISK APPROACHES, GIRAN IN ITS SIGHTS!!
OH SHIT
Tumblr media
holy -- fucking -- I don’t even
wow
Tumblr media
well that all went down fucking spectacularly
looooool. okay, time to move on to plan B guys. bring on the indestructible mountain man. let Tomura have his “I have an army!” / “we have a Hulk” moment
so is Giran even still alive, or did he get caught up in all of that. lol I’m just fooling. of course he’s still alive, Horikoshi is going to drag out my torture for this entire arc and make it really slow and excruciating
Tumblr media
yeah whatever. they have a hulk. just you wait
and some of the dying Twices are glomping over to Giran to make sure he’s okay, naturally. because my feels were briefly spared for a single fucking panel and we can’t have that, no ma’am!
HAHAHA WHY
Tumblr media
THESE FEELS, MY GOD. WHATEVER!! JUST LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE THEN!!
JESUS CHRIST, HERE I WAS SHIPPING TOGAWICE LIKE ANYTHING, AND THEN HORIKOSHI COMES ALONG ALL “BUT ARE YOU SURE YOU WEREN’T ACTUALLY SHIPPING GIRANTWICE THIS WHOLE TIME” AND FUCK ME, HE’S FUCKING RIGHT
GIRAN IS SMILING SO SOFTLY MOMENTS BEFORE HIS LIKELY DEATH, AND I’M ABOUT TO PERISH IN A TYPHOON OF EMOTION. GIRAN IF I COULD LEAP IN THERE AND TAKE THE BLOW FOR YOU I WOULD
YOU GUYS HERE IT COMES. IT’S BEEN NICE KNOWING YOU ALL. LET’S ALL HOLD HANDS AND WAIT IN HELPLESS TERROR LIKE IN TOY STORY 3
Tumblr media
and Twice makes sure Giran’s not alone at the end though. god I’m about to lose it for real though, shit
-- !!!!!!!!!!
Tumblr media
(ETA: lmao I love that it’s making a “TCH” sound. like that hand is so done with his bullshit.)
what THE FUCK TOMURA ARE YOU SERIOUS?!! I WAS ALL SET TO GO ALL “OH HAPPY DAGGER” HERE AND THEN YOU TURN UP TO SAVE THE DAY WHAT IS HAPPENING
WHAT IS THIS CRAZY ADRENALINE RUSH AHAHA. DON’T BE FOOLED, THAT IS RALPH WIGGUM “I’M IN DANGER!” LAUGHTER THOUGH
but wow, so yeah. feels postponed. fucking deferred, motherfucker. FIRST WE GET OUR FIGHT ON
Tumblr media
oh hey! funny you should mention! cuz it’s just that he’s been trying to prove said worth for the last six weeks! so if you could provide some convenient way for him to actually do that, that would actually be great. Machia is a harder sell than Simon fucking Cowell, so
oh, he’s still talking
Tumblr media
actually this is super interesting to me omg. also that’s really fucked up. poor Damien! he didn’t do anything! all he did was glow a bit, what is wrong with people
(ETA: I have been informed by many kind people that Destro is not in fact the glowy baby Damien from China lol. I got kinda mixed up there lol.)
Tumblr media
probably cuz they killed her
yep
Tumblr media
yeah that seemed to be where that was leading. society is predictably fucked up, etc. that poor lady
this has nothing to do with anything, but I just want to throw it out there that I would kill to read an AU with the 1-A kids set in this time period roughly 200 years earlier where they have to hide their quirks for fear of being killed over them, and they’re all just doing their best and growing up scared and traumatized and some of them are bitter at the world and others are hopeful of one day making it a better place. oh my god. “makeste, that’s just an X-Men AU” you point out and oh my god you’re right. that means it probably already exists oh shit. I need to go on another fic binge
anyway
Tomura is all “yeah I know history too” and making me feel bad. some of us didn’t grow up in this universe, Tomura
Tumblr media
Tomura just let the man talk, I need more worldbuilding stuff for my AU headcanons
Tumblr media
you’d think that the Army would be embracing the word “quirks”, then? this woman seems like the type of martyr figure they ought to be all over. I guess there’s more to the story and I should take my own advice and shut up and let him finish
oh
Tumblr media
I see, so they associate the government’s use of the word “quirk” with their oppression. idk, I feel like they ought to be trying to reclaim it then. but whatever
so he’s wrapping up now
oh!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
his mother?!
Tumblr media
DESTRO WAS THE SON OF THE MOTHER OF QUIRKS? DESTRO WAS DAMIEN?!  holy shit!!
so that means RD is descended from the original quirk bloodline! yooooo I did not see that coming at all. no wonder the rest of the Army reveres him
anyway but now the interesting part is over and he’s moving on to crazed ranting
Tumblr media
whatever you say buddy. how did you wind up with Giant Bitchslap Arm powers if your great-great-granddad was just some dumb glowing kid though
oh now he’s getting all pompous
Tumblr media
I’m sorry I didn’t realize having a long and tragic family history was a prerequisite for kicking ass. though if it is. may I interest you in the horrific saga of the Shimura family, though. this so-called street punk has quite his own tale of woe actually
oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit
Tumblr media
(⚆_⚆) [sits up straighter]
AHHHH THEY’RE SAVING HIM!!
Tumblr media
YOU GO LEAGUE!! YOU GOT THIS!!
AHHHHHHH
Tumblr media
!!!!! THEN TELL HIM TO SUIT UP
oh shit wait I think he might be talking about Actual Tomura and not Gigantomachia! even better!!
Tumblr media
OH HEY THAT’S A NICE TOWER YOU HAVE THERE. IT SURE WOULD BE A SHAME IF SOMEONE... PATTED IT GENTLY
LOOOOOOOOOOL YESSSSSSSSSSSS
Tumblr media
(❛ӧ❛三❛ӧ❛)
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!
Tumblr media
LMAO HE’S ACTUALLY BARELY KEEPING IT TOGETHER THOUGH AND IT’S THE BEST. “WAIT... YOU’RE THE GUY... BUT SHOULDN’T YOU BE... BUT WAIT WEREN’T YOU IN...?”
Tumblr media
SO NOW IT’S ON BOTH EYES, EH? GOING FULL RORSCHACH UP IN THIS BITCH. WELL WHATEVER. I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW I’M HIGH ON THE ADRENALINE OF HAVING HAD THE FEAR OF GOD PUT INTO ME AND BEING RESIGNED TO ANOTHER CHAPTER OF HEADS BEING REMOVED FROM WHERE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE, ONLY FOR HORIKOSHI TO BE ALL “PSYCH!! I STILL LOVE YOU!” AND HAVE MR. RIGHTFUL HEIR COME UP AND FUCK UP RD’S SHIT OMG. AND I STILL SHIP GIRANTWICE!! AND GIRAN’S STILL ALIVE SOMEHOW AGAINST ALL ODDS OH MY GOODNESS
ohhhhh man. well, time to place your bets then people. who would win:
one megalomaniacal balding CEO with a giant arm who talks too much but has like an army and shit
One Sleepy Boi
hahaha. well, Tomura? time to get that worth fucking measured, then, kid

Survey #226
“i couldn't take my eyes off her, but that's not what i took off that night.”
So, how are you doing today? I'm mostly fine, I guess. I'm sooooo sleep-deprived from these damn night terrors, so it has me pretty moody. Then I'm bummed as all fuckhell that Sara and I can't be together on our anniversary. What is the last song that you had on repeat? I think it waaaas... "Idiosyncrasy" (it took me five million attempts to spell that right) by Korn. Are you a hedonist/masochist/in between? Neither. The best musical performance you’ve been to? I've only ever seen Alice Cooper, but it was WICKED. He did his signature decapitation illusion (how the fuck does that even work??), and the last song (it was a fucking amazing cover of "Another Brick In The Wall") had INCREDIBLE theatrics. I loved it. Who is your favorite drummer? *shrugs* Your favorite guitarist? Idk, really. Maybe Zakk Wylde. A vocalist with the best voice? Freddie Mercury's voice is so versatile and chill-inducing, Amy Lee is an obvious answer, Patrick Stump's voice is just so goddamn sexy, as is Brendon Urie's, as well as wide in vocal range. Do you have a band yourself? Maaaan, that'd be dope. But no. Do you write poetry or song lyrics? I used to write poems aaaaaall the time (y'know, the "I'm 14 and this is deep" kind), and I've actually really wanted to for a while now, but idk about what. Plus my word-weaving capability has drastically declined, so all I'd do is get mad. Your best memories: Meeting Sara, SARA'S FUCKING FACE WHEN SHE SAW ME IN HER BEDROOM ON HER LAST BIRTHDAY OH MY FUCKING GOD, a novel of things with Jason, seeing meerkats at the zoo for the first time, THE DAY GOD NOTICED ME THROUGH A GIF I WORKED WAY TOO HARD ON (I couldn't sleep for three days, and I wish I was kidding), uhhhh. A lot. Your worst memories: The night of the breakup, absolutely and entirely. Nothing compares. It was a slow, paralyzing trauma (don't get pissy about me using that word "as an exaggeration," it was diagnosed as such years ago) that entirely put me into an actual state of shock. I wish that night on absolutely nobody. No one. Funniest thing you've ever seen an animal do? Maaaaan, I could tell you a lot. Probably inarguably the funniest was Ginger (ex's beagle) WITHOUT FAIL losing her shit with jealousy or SOMETHING whenever she noticed Jason and I were doing anything that involved affection without her. That dog would LOSE IT with barking, tail wagging, and climbing all over him, and it was never not funny to see this fatass little dog turn into a living cockblock lmfao. OH YEAH then our late boxer Cali could be baited into howling if you did it sometimes. It was so, so cute. She'd always look so confused but do it anyway. I'm sure there're others; I've grown up with pets my whole life, but those are the only two that come to me now. What is on your mind? I wanna see Sara. Could you ever cheat on your significant other? I physically couldn't stand myself if I ever did. No. Ever been so disgraced that you had homicidal thoughts? Wow no. If so, whom did you wish to assassin? I mean I've talked about Ashley (not my sister) before, but they weren't seriously "homicidal." I wasn't going to actually do anything. If you wish to be famous, what would you want to be famous for? I don't wish it, but let's say I was. Some form of artist. ... Wait, I do want that. Errrmmm OH! A serious wildlife conservator. Do you think humanity is going downhill? Duh. What was the last thing you threw at someone? I have no clue. Do you ever want to be prom queen/king? I didn't care. Have you ever ran from the police? I'd prefer to stay out of jail. Are you afraid of clowns? No. Have you ever written on someone’s face in your yearbook? Ha ha yeeeaaah... When was the last time you made dinner? me?????? cook????????????? huh?????????????? Do you have any special plans coming up? I'm shooting my sister's gender reveal Sunday. :') Ash and her husband don't know the gender, so I am so fucking excited to see their reactions. Who do you want to be buried next to? Please don't bury me and just take up space. Cremate me and scatter the ashes somewhere, or do SOMETHING meaningful and creative. What is your favorite fish? Like... to eat? I haven't tried very much, but I liked striper forever and ever ago. If you mean visually, probably betta fish. Have you ever won a gold medal? Probably with kid stuff. Do you have any trophies? Also as a kid for A honor roll, as well as dance and sports overall. Do you work out? Oops no. When you introduce yourself, do you give hand shakes? It depends on who I'm talking to. Is there a limit to how many best friends you have? No? Do you have any hickeys on you? Bitch a girl can wish. Do you have the strength to say goodbye forever? Been there, finally done that. Will you talk to the person you like tonight? I talk to her every day throughout the day. Who did you last share a bed with? Sara. Who do you go to when you need to talk to someone? Sara or Mom. Have you ever been taken to the emergency room in an ambulance? No. What are you listening to right now? I'm not actually listening to anything, but "Gypsy" by Fleetwood Mac is BURIED into my head rn. What do you like better: hot chocolate or hot apple cider? I've never tried to latter actually, but I'd probably still prefer hot chocolate, anyway. Do you make wishes at 11:11? No; I don't believe in that stuff. I have a friend who posts JUST "11:11 <3" or something like that every night on FB, and while it shouldn't, it annoys the fuck out of me. No one cares. Ever been on a golf cart? Yeah. Do you get blizzards where you live? No, never to the point where "blizzard" fits. What’s a biblical truth that you struggle with? lmao When was the last time you did something rebellious? *shrugs* Do you rebel against God a lot? I can genuinely say I don't give a fuck if I do or don't. Do you consider yourself creative? Very. What’s an old hobby that you want to pick back up? Sigh, reading. Do you ever read books to a pet? No. That seems without real purpose... and this is coming from me, an animal worshiper, just about. Like, you know they genuinely have no clue what you're saying or doing, and I highly doubt they're gonna stay still and look at the pictures. Do you have any pets? Two dogs, a cat, a rat, and a snake. What was the theme of your childhood bedroom? It didn't have a set theme. Partially because I grew up with the same room as my little sister, and we had very different interests. What color was your nursery as a baby? I have zero clue. Did I even have a proper nursery??? What was the last surgery you had? Getting a cyst above my asscrack removed lmaoooo. What’s something you prefer to keep private? Sexual history. I am very, very shy talking about that kind of stuff. Who is someone you look up to? *sobs "fischfuck" at the top of my lungs* As a child, did you have people you admired? STEVE IRWIN WAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY EMOTIONAL DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you good at prioritizing? Eek... I'm unsure, to be honest. Which holiday is your favorite to decorate for? fuckin' Halloween hoe. Which holiday or season has the best decorations in stores? Soooo Halloween decor=room decor for me tbh lol. Who’s the prettiest YouTuber you watch? She doesn't have her own active YT channel anymore, but Suzy Hanson (GameGrumps' Arin's wife) is a fucking goddess. Oh, and while I've never watched her channel, I've seen Hannah Hart on GMM quite a few times, and she's actually one of my first signals that I wasn't straight because I definitely felt attracted to how naturally beautiful she is. What’s the most shocking thing that’s occurred in your life lately? Finding out my grandma has terminal cancer. How’s the weather been at your part of the world in the past week? It's been fucking hot. Thursday was the hottest October day in NC history, peaking at 100. Disgoostiiiiiing. Have you given something up recently? (for ex., candy, red meat etc.) Uhhhh well, this is semi-recently, I guess: I entirely stopped going to Chick-fil-a in protest of higher-ranking business employees or whatever supporting/making donations to anti-LGBT cults, especially conversion "therapy." What’s the worst thing about autumn? "How fleeting it is. I never feel like I get properly immersed in the experience. I blink and the leaves are gone and Thanksgiving is here and Christmas is right around the corner." <<< Perfect description. What is something you enjoy doing, even if you’re not very good at it? Drawing portraits, maybe. Do you work hard for your money? I don't have a job, never have had a stable one. However, on the occasion I'm hired to take pictures, I. Try. Really. Hard. What’s a song that most people interpret entirely wrong? "Mama I'm Coming Home" by Ozzy Osbourne was first to come to mind; reasonably, people tend to think the song is about his mother, but it's rather about his wife. Calling your wife that is apparently some English petname. When’s the last time you had cake? Wow, idk, actually. I think my niece mighta had some for her birthday in June? I know my nephew had cupcakes. Yeah, I think it was her b-day. Have you ever made your own soda from scratch? I have not. How about your own jam? No. Or pickled something?

Uhhhhhhhhhh idk. Do you like woolly socks? If so, do you ever make your own? NO, especially when you put sneakers over them or something. They feel so constricted. Do you have a laptop or desktop computer? A laptop that needs to be replaced, gah. Or fixed. I have a pure black crack and blob stretching across the left side of my screen that is super distracting and obscuring, and the right side of the top half is cracked along the side; I have duct tape to help keep it closed. Otherwise it's a fine laptop, though. Oh wait, and the apostrophe key is missing, so I have to hit the plastic pressure thingy that's easy to miss. Do you watch America’s Got Talent? No. If so, who has been your favorite contestant on AGT? My favorite ever was Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. Still have some of his covers on my iPod. Prince Poppycock is also my gay uncle that I would die for. What chore are you behind on? I need to dust my room good lort. Have you ever broken your phone screen? No, actually. Have you ever broke your computer screen? Well, refer to earlier question. I don't know if it's technically "broke," just damaged (it's not an actual scratch, btw; it's beyond the exterior screen). I need to take it somewhere to fix it ahhhhh. What department store do you shop at the most? Wal-Mart. Do you normally use the self-checkout or the regular checkout? Depends on how much we have. If it's just a handful or so, we just go do it ourselves. Which friend will be in your heart no matter what happens between you two? Sara, Megan. What is your most severe allergy? Pollen. Have you ever been kicked out of a store? No. OH SHIT NO WAIT, I THINK a friend and I may have wandered into Spencer's once when we were "too young." Or maybe we just got ID'd. Idk, idr. What was the stupidest mistake of your life? Turning a person into my sole source of "real" happiness, giving my entire soul to a flawed human being, being naive about love, all that jazz. Have you ever unfriended a sibling on social media? Well, she unfriended me. We're friends again now tho I think I pissed her off again. Oops. Do you watch Niki and Gabi on YouTube? If yes, which twin is your favorite: Niki or Gabi? I've heard of 'em, but don't know anything about/watch them. What was your favorite book you had to read for school? The Outsiders. The Handmaid's Tale is now right behind it. What do you want for your birthday this year? My '19 birthday has already passed, but if you mean like, my next one, idk. Maybe a new phone considering mine is GODawful with so many problems. Alllllthough I'm entirely aware I'll be putting a tattoo first, so... it depends on what I have, ha ha. Do you like rock music? Yep. What is the most beautiful landscape you have ever seen? MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!! What do you usually take for headaches? Advil/Ibuprofen. Have you ever switched doctors because of mistreatment? Or moreso carelessness and immeasurable ignorance masked by over-confidence. Do you film or record your doctor’s appointments? ??????????????????????????????? Can you even do that?????????????????? Which accomplishment are you most proud of yourself for? So, this kinda depends. I'm most likely to say "recovery," but I honestly give almost all credit to my psychiatrist and therapists. So I don't usually see *me* as playing a big role in it. Idk. So other days I'll say way more confidently graduating in the top 10% of the graduating class as a senior. Do you feel like you’ve accomplished anything yet with your life? Well yeah. What is your favorite medication that you take, and why? The combination I take of Vraylar + Lamictal due to how they interact and being massively responsible for me being stable. What is your favorite vitamin, and why? Do people???????????? have fave vitamins????????????????? List 5 people you know who have never been mean to you. Uh. I think Connie is it out of the people I know well/have known for a long time, lol. Would you rather do a craft project or a science experiment? s c i e n c e  b i t c h Do you say garbage, trash, rubbish, or something else? "Trash," usually. Which Bratz doll was your favorite? I didn't have a favorite. Which Barbie doll was your favorite? ^ Which American Girl doll was your favorite? I don't remember. Do you decorate Mason jars? No, but I find them veeeeeery pretty when decorated well. What color band and stone does your class ring have? I didn't get one. Can you see the mountains from where you live? No, I wish... What is your favorite Lisa Frank character? angel!!!!!!!!!!!! KITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you believe in the power of prayer? Not in the slightest. What color eyes does the person you like/love have? Are they pretty? A beautiful brown. Obviously if I call them beautiful. What was the first television show you were obsessed with? Pokemon cries. I never really like... showed just how much though. Looking back on when I was a kid, I took embarrassment poorly even then. Other girls thought I was weird for bringing a Psyduck plushy with me to school everyday, everyone in pre-k looked at me like "huh" when I brought my little Snorlax plush in for show-and-tell, I came to a point of only watching it when my sister was asleep, I was too scared to ask for the games, and- jfc okay I'm actually realizing I need to go back to therapy to talk about how deep my AvPD truly is rooted oops lmao. Do you eat chili when you get a hot dog, or do you like it plain? Chili is disgusting. Have you ever disowned anyone in your family? For what reasons? No. Is there anyone out there who has hurt you so much, you wish they’d die? No. Has anyone ever called you a sociopath before? No. How many times have you been drunk in your life? None got to the point of me feeling *actually* drunk. I've only ever been tipsy. When was the last time you acted really immature? *shrugs* Can you rely on one or more people to take up for you? Yeah, a few. When is the last time you sat around a campfire? I don't have a clue. Is there an important event coming up at your school? I think? It's some event all freshmen have to attend to all damn day and I'm not looking forward to it. It's for a good cause, but. It's gonna be a drag and I've had two incidents this school year of once collapsing and just last week almost fainting and vomiting just from the heat. Do you have a back-up career choice? What is it? Something with writing, I guess. Well, I ideally want to be a professional photographer but also a zoologist, but if photography goes absurdly well (this is incredibly unlikely, I know, but it's doable), I may not aim for a zoologist career, but get the necessary degree for it as back-up. I want an unquestionably stable back-up choice. My minor is Journalism, so like I mentioned up top, yeah, if things really go shitty, something in writing is an option. Would you ever get caught with a fake ID? No. Do you think religion justifies treating people unequally? I don't see the supposed "rationality" in this at all. No. Are men more attractive with longer or shorter hair? I guess it depends on the person, but I think I'm generally more attracted to men with longer hair. What color was the ink of the last pen you used? Black. Is there a name that you hear and cringe? I can't really say "cringe," but without fail, it's obvious who and what I think of the moment I hear the name "Jason," and it always causes this dull pain in my chest. What color are your dad’s eyes? They're dark brown. When you were a kid, was there a boy/girl that you said you were going to marry? No. Is your favourite TV show very popular? That '70s Show is, and Fullmetal Alchemist is among anime fans, at least. I don't think too many people know about Meerkat Manor, but I know it was and possibly still is Animal Planet's highest-grossing series, so it sure was big for viewers of that channel. What are you absolutely determined to do? Become at least a semi-successful photographer, make a great life with Sara, support my mom one day like she always has me, mostly overcome anxiety, photograph and touch a habituated meerkat of the KMP... a handful of things. Where would you rather be from? Somewhere in the U.S. that's not a homophobic, racist, gun-fucking, Bible-thumping cesspit of closed-minded shits. I love NC. How often do you play sports? Never. What website do you visit most often? YouTube. What do you wish you knew more about? Politics. What are some things you’ve had to unlearn?

I also had to unlearn uhhhh... man, I know there's a lot, I'm just blanking right now. What TV channel doesn’t exist but really should? *shrug* Where is the most interesting place you’ve been?

SLEEPY CUDDLES W/ YOUR S/O. What kind of art do you enjoy most? Man, idk. I love art so much. What have you only recently formed an opinion about? That's a good question. What is the most heartwarming thing you’ve ever seen? Literally today/yesterday when I watched the secret stream Mark did of gathering viewers to anonymously destroy random but small Twitch streamers' charity goals & he was too motivated and inspiring & everyone was so fucking confused but thankful and it was literally the most inarguably Chaotic Good thing I have ever borne witness to.

Not flipping over in the wreck we got in when I was a kid, probably. All factors of it considered, we were told flipping would have been far more likely than my mom managing to keep us on four wheels. What are some small things that make your day better? Multiple things. Sara feeling positive, I'm fucking awful so having a yummy soda gives me a measly drop of Serotonin, I love seeing Venus come out of her rock to wander around, finding a new song to become utterly addicted to is great, cool weather outside... things like that.

had a bit more time to sort my feelings out...i’m still incredibly conflicted
i did enjoy some parts of it, like the meta about canon downsides of realizing the ultimate self the brief glimpses of john being a good dad vriska and (vriska) having a calm chill out session obama
probably a few other things, and, i’ll probably get shit for it but idfc i do LIKE some of that edgy shit they put in because?? idk??? that’s shit i always liked. like i really really want to draw jade as a corpse puppet, or dave joining the strider family tradition of decapitation, or yes, even dirk’s suicide. i love making characters i love suffer, physically and psychologically, and that includes canon content most of the time. i’m not gonna try to justify that with some “it helps me cope with my depression” or whatever, even if it does? idfk that’s not the point i’m getting at
MY POINT is that homestuck is ten years old, and a beloved story to countless people, it’s helped so many people make lifetime connections, its characters have resonated so deeply with the fans...and THIS is what you reward them with? the story is over, the credits rolled, there were some loose plot points and not every character had a happy ending, and i’m not even trying to say that the only endings should be happy ones. if it’s a really good story, and makes the most sense to have everyone die in the end, kill them off! i get tired of predictable hero’s journeys yknow.
BUT
i’m talking about finished stories, with planned out beginning, middle, end. which homestuck never was and was never intended to be. you don’t just end a story, give these beloved characters relatively peaceful conclusions, wait five years, then come back and say “oh jk everything sucks lol gotcha” “no no don’t worry it’s META” yes! it’s very meta! these characters have had time to grow on their own in the fanwork that’s been produced in the radio silence hussie has given us. to come back like this? it’s like being spit on. it’s pulling a jk rowling, but worse. i’d rather get tmi on everyone’s bathroom habits.
if this was released even just a year within the ending i feel like it would’ve gone over a lot better. still odd and out of place, like, i’m sorry i thought dirk, one of the few characters to actually get any sort of closure in the comic, was very set in his conviction on improving himself. even in the credits he seemed to be doing just that! but no, uhhhhhh something something oops dirk took over the narrative and is now being the exact kind of manipulative bastard he was trying so hard to not become. or he realized he had zero control on anything narrative-wise and killed himself. hahahahaa. yeah that character that helped a lot of lgbt fans come to terms with/accept their own self/sexuality? self admitted villain. oh and he’s a transphobe. one final nail in that coffin.
yes, maybe it will all make sense if we get more, maybe there will be more explanation, blah blah blah, doesn’t matter, the damage is done. this is coming from someone who legit was enjoying seeing this version of dirk. if this brings back some version of hal i will be excited! although, now that i think about, what i liked most about hal was his interactions with the most morally responsible dirk. JUST seeing bad!dirk....that will get old. i still don’t even know what to feel right now. don’t even know what my point was, if i had one. idk
not good guys :/
