crazy how i can be so stressed and upset and then suddenly i remember that *I* am in control of my emotions and then i can physically breathe the stress out of me and i’m fine.

Wait what

Are we getting a new Brave/Yuusha webcomic at the end of July??? And an anime opening???

It looks like it will be a crossover of the original 8 shows + Baan Gaan, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. The main Brave's secondary or final form could be named Sworgrader if they stick to the norm and one of the Brave's components appears to be a Shinkansen (bullet train).

Here are some images that can be found on Twitter, Reddit and 4chan as well as the front page of its official website.

And here are some of the other sources I found:

The second one was written in Korean but live screen translators exist for a reason and I used one to get the following screenshots. Note that the translation doesn't work at all and most sentences make no sense.

quick update: i am in the midst of a Not Good Situation. i am ok and safe but this is a pretty big and distressing thing and i don't know how everything's going to shake out. i still have the writeup finished and i still intend to queue and post it at some point tomorrow, but depending on the ongoing situation i might not have the ability to edit it any more deeply than a spellcheck proofread and i may be slow to reply to asks/comments over the next few days. i did promise the writeup and i do intend to fulfill that promise barring any extreme circumstances but i may not be able to provide much more than that for now. thanks for understanding and my sincerest apologies in advance. regularly scheduled programming will resume at the earliest opportunity. <3

hi ♡ i guess i'm back? 🥹

here's a little life update! i think you guys deserve it after my absence that lasted longer than even i expected it to last ;( i am very sorry about that. i miss everyone here and bangtan so much, you have no idea. the reason for all that is that for the past months i have been going through a lot of things and changes in my life. there were good and bad things happening, time flies extra fast, days melt into one and i didn't even notice the past half a year pass. although i think my absence was unavoidable in these circumstances i just thought that you guys deserve to know what's been up with me for the past months haha i have received a lot messages and reminders that people remember about me and that they miss me and i just want to send all of you my biggest apologies for leaving you for so long with no response, as well as all my love and gratitude! 🥺 i think i've been always fairly transparent on here so if anyone wanted to know more I'll leave some more details in the tags but basically I just hope that soon i will be able to become more active again and respond to messages ❤️❤️❤️ i hope everyone is doing great 🥰

man I am gay and miserable

im becoming a emu blog again

Real quick PSA for the followers, just to make sure my positions are clear on some issues and to make sure I am not causing any unintentional harm (that devolved into a minor hiatus):

-If I'm intending to talk about something specific, I'll mention it, I promise.

-I do be forgetting that you all recognize me on both my A03 and my tumblr. It is surprising to me every time. I tend to be vERY flippant on here, especially in my tags. I think we have reached a point where I should be more careful lol. I am not used to having an actual effect, so if I have an effect you don't appreciate, or I say something hurtful, please please bring it up to me! Dms, anon, replies; idc, I'm always down for a conversation.

-I am not in the business of apologies I do not mean, and I certainly do not back down from my opinions, I think that's been fairly clear. So, if I apologize it's because I mean it, and that won't change.

-I make a lot of posts that are critical of fandom culture in a lot of different fandoms, and culture around specific characters as well. I want it to be very clear that unless I am directly interacting with another user, then the criticism should never surround anyone specific. I never want to direct hate ever, unless I'm tagging.

-If there are questions about the appropriateness of my headcanon posts in response to asks, that can be changed. I would really hate to be making my very small community uncomfortable. I had thought I was fairly clear on the blogs boundaries and what I think is appropriate, but perhaps I haven't been careful enough. Please feel free to address issues with me, or to block me. That is always an option of course.

Uh, that being said, I might take a couple days. I have used this blog for fun and friends since 2015, it's not my first time fucking up nor will it be the last. But, it's upsetting to me that my blog might be harmful to some (who I hadn't intended it to be harmful to, it's always been an active warzone for irredeemable character excusers lol, since 2015). The queue will go on as usual but no new posts for a bit while I figure out if things need to change. I'll respond to DMs tho, probably, bc I'm obsessed with my mutuals.

id never say my mom was like. objectively correct in how she raised me. she fucked up a lot. but then i look at my stepbrother booting up the ps5 at 8 am knowing he wont turn it off until bedtime. not for a new release (which im guilty of having extensive playtimes in that situation) but for roblox & hello neighbor. and suddenly i am immensely grateful that she told me not to do that and supported my other interests

OH MY GOD I THINK I’M HAVING A TRAUMA RESPONSE

“It’s not like that,” Apollo explains. “I know spirit mediums are a thing. I grew up around them.”  “Really?”  “Mhm. I don’t doubt that there’s…something after death. I mean, I don’t think there’s an afterlife or a rainbow bridge or whatever. I think you’re just stuck like you’re asleep until someone channels you. It’s not like the dead know that they’re dead.”  “But you’re still on the fence about ghosts?”  “I’m not on the fence. I know they don’t exist.”  “How can you be so sure?”  “Because it’s never the dead that haunt you, is it? It’s always the living who have unfinished business and it’s not, like, Frankenstein or whatever that makes you feel like there’s something waiting to strike in the shadows. It’s the past. People aren’t scared of ghosts. They’re scared of memories.”

if you enjoy gothic literature and boys flirting while investigating a murder and the haunting that takes place in every story where characters walk the path of the narrative over and over again until they take each other’s hands and write a new story together and also strange and charming old women, boy oh BOY does the lovely and brilliant @gabr1elkit have just the story for you!

spent a worryingly large amount of my time either crying or thinking about hanging myself but hey that's summer i guess

i keep "based on your likes" on out of like, morbid curiosity about tumblrs shitass algorithm (i think it goes, i [tumblr user J] like a post by tumblr user A. tumblr user A likes posts by tumblr user B, tumblr user C, tumblr user D. tumblr user J gets shown all of tumblr user As likes. i must have liked a post by someone who only likes posts about religion because i am getting a steady stream of almost harrowingly (derogatory) christian posts.

I really need to make a DNI sometimmMMEE

one of the bad things about having such low social energy/social anhedonia/little interest in interacting with others in any capacity/ Hermit Disease™ is that like.. once every FIVE months here and there I’ll get fleeting bursts of social energy and will message one or two people to catch up with old friends or etc. and then it’s like... 

tfw you message someone and then wake up the next morning to see that they REPLIED to your message so now you’re actually supposed to message them back, which is an obligation you were somehow not expecting despite the fact that YOU sent them a message
