Tell me about corals magic man

oh man this ask keeps sitting here and I keep starting to write stuff out, forgetting it, then never finishing. So since I am still processing tons of coral pics from a recent field work excursion about coral (and have a day off to just CHILL at home before regular work again) this is as good a time as any. CORAL. IT'S IMPORTANT I GUESS BUT WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? PLANT?? ANIMAL??? OVERAMBITIOUS ROCK??? Yes. kind of. Technically just an animal is correct. Corals are animals, but they are fucking weird animals. Weird in the way that only marine invertebrates can get. I love them because they're freaks. Let me show you.

Corals are a cnidarian, which puts them in the same category as anemones and jellyfish, and when you look at an individual coral polyp you can instantly see the relationship. They are colonial animals with massive structures formed out of polyps that are all clones of each other, and all building a support structure to form the whole, called the colony. An especially cute metaphor I've heard is that each coral polyp has it's own little nook like a room in the massive home they all work to build. A layer of tissue connects polyps to each other over the colony, allowing them to share nutrients and such over the entire structure like little marine communists. These polyps can range widely in size, and they can either be distinctly separate or all fused together, only distinguished by separate mouths. Numbers can also range from millions to a couple species that will have one or polyp mouths max. Polyps can extend out or retract into their little nook, called the calyx, and extend more when the coral is capturing prey from the water.

Lookit those cute little polyps, these guys make their own cubby for themselves!

Don't worry about what I just said about capturing prey and feeding, look at those cute little guys. Some of them are out and some are retracted, showing the little bump where they live.

Fused polyps like on brain corals don't extend exactly, but feeder tentacles will come out from that delineation between the ridge and oral groove. It's actually called an oral groove! Those tentacles are full of the same stinging cells jellyfish and anemones have! One biologist referred to brain corals as a wall of mouths! Ive seen them using those tentacles to slowly drag struggling little shrimps and larval fish towards a slowly opening mouth amongst that wall of mouths! It's like living in a place where at night, the walls open mouths and drag you into them with unthinking stinging strings! Sometimes they just spit out digestive strings to digest stuff outside of their body, like other coral that got too close and needs to check itself! Isn't that great!

A lot of people are surprised to hear "mouths" and "feeding" with corals and yup, corals are animals and therefore they eat! Each polyp has a mouth and tentacles and will extend them to capture prey, mostly zooplankton but also some plant material. Because they're fucking weird though, many species also gain energy via photosynthesis with the help of a symbiotic dinoflagellate called the zooxanthellae or symbiodinium. It's this algae like symbiont that actually gives coral most of their colors. These colors can range from psychadelic to just brown, with regular old browns and greens and yellows being the most common colors (especially in the Caribbean). A bleached coral is still alive, but due to stress has lost their zooxanthellae. They can survive and recover, but in this state they are highly stressed, prone to disease, and can starve slowly without the symbionts helping with their nutritional needs. They appear white or faded because the loss of their symbionts reveals the white calcium skeleton beneath the tissue.

Bleached portion of coral beside unbleached. A dead coral is one that has lost all of it's tissue, and every individual polyp has died, leaving nothing but the skeleton which can no longer grow without the living polyps. Bleached coral is very, very vulnerable to becoming a dead coral.

Unusually high heat is the most common trigger for a bleaching event. And this is where, in my education talks I sometimes do, I pause with a strained grimace of a smile as we all contemplate ocean temperatures hiking up every summer. SO WHY ARE THESE WEIRDASS ROCK ANIMALS IMPORTANT BESIDES BEING COOL TO LOOK AT? Coral structure can be colloquially described as stony or soft. Stony corals are what I work with more, and these guys are the ones that build a hard, calcium based structure as their support building, and these powerhouses are the ones that build the coral reef. Soft corals are what it says on the tin, they may have a sort of support structure that varies amongst families, but it's flexible (you'll see them waving very beautifully and gracefully in the currents) and they (for the most part) do not build the reef. If they do add to reef building it, it's with a very slow process of depositing fine layers. (Soft corals of course have their role in the overall reef health, but reefs are bonkers complicated ecosystems and I'm trying to keep on track here.) When you're looking at the reef, you are looking on centuries, if not millennia, of stony corals building on top of each other. Sometimes this building has been going on for so long that islands are made of fossilized reefs from millions of years ago, with corals that still resemble modern species in the rock. (This is the case of BonAire and blew my goddamn mind seeing the fossil reef it's so fuckin cool.)

Sometimes just a single colony will keep building on itself into massive structures. Polyp clones adding on and on to their predecessors, giving the colony overall a lifespan in centuries. It's thought that some huge colonies may be thousands of years old, because the fastest growing stony corals have a growth rate that may equal centimeters per year.

It's those reef structures of calcium carbonate building up and up that provide the homes to so many other creatures that coral reefs are some of the most biologically diverse, and biologically dense ecosystems out there, like rainforests of the ocean. Even marine life that doesn't live directly in the reefs have a connection to them, using them as feeding grounds, breeding areas, a place to hide while young and vulnerable, ect. They even protect coastlines, acting as a literal barrier that reduces wave damage from storms or just wave action in general. The reef takes the brunt of the physical damage, colonies get knocked around, but the still living polyps keep on building and rebuilding so the reef can go on and not get smashed into rubble every year. That is, if there are still stony corals alive to do the rebuilding. :))))))

So you have these weird animals who build stone structures like cathedrals, have algae in their tissue, live as massive ancient colonies of clones that can eat, photosynthesize, and also reproduce both asexually and sexually. They're able to branch out and do all of that because they are adapted to insanely stable environments. Temperatures don't fluctuate by more than a couple degrees seasonally, tides are consistent, storm seasons are consistent, the water is consistently clear due to lack of algae, which allows sunlight to penetrate and feed the symbionts that feed the coral. Mineral levels in the water are stable so they can take the calcium and carbonate from the sea water to build their skeletons. Without having to be able to adjust to changes in the environment they just went hog fucking wild on all the ways an animal can be an animal.

And here I once again pause with a strained grimace smile as we all take in how they need to be alive to keep building those reefs that support the ocean and the coasts, and how not stable their environment is becoming with new pollutants clouding waters, storms becoming more unpredictable, and waters having bigger temperature swings with hot summer spikes. :)))))))))))

#long post #marine biology #coral reefs #informative #corals are freaks and i love them #i barely touched how theyre freaks i wanted to keep this to a simple 101 guide on what they are and why theyre important #and why they are. not doing too great.#in the grand scheme of the world i believe coral reefs as an ecosystem type will survive #a few species are super hardy #some are more adaptable #in millions of years the ones that made it will eventually find new suitable places to rebuild on the rubble of ruins #but also i would prefer NOT HAVING A CATASTROPHIC EXTINCTION EVENT FOR THEM TO RECOVER FROM OVER A FEW MILLION YEARS THANKS #I WOULD PREFER THAT SORT OF RUIN NOT MAKING LIVES HARDER FOR EVERYONE

10 QL Characters I Desire Carnally

Okay, I wasn't exactly tagged, but a bunch of you have said you weren't tagging anyone and just to do it if we wanted, and I want to XD Also, shout out to @firstkanaphans because everyone else is doing BL and she did QL, so I'm kinda copying her ;)

I apologise for being horny on main

Numbers are just for organisation, this isn't ranked

Mollie (The Warp Effect) This was my introduction to Silvy, and honestly, I haven't been the same since.

Kuafah (Star and Sky: Sky in your Heart) Listen, I know this show sucked, but it was my introduction to my husband Mek and you do not even want to know the things I would do to this man. The fact Fah is a bit of a wild party boy but also a responsible doctor just does something for me, okay?!

Prapai (Love in the Air) I know I'm not alone in this, right? Like, we know he fucks. We know he fucks good.

Top (Only Friends) Listen, I am a Top defender. He is my precious boy that was so poorly misunderstood and mistreated. He also knows exactly what he is doing in the bedroom and I support that.

Ai Di (Kiseki: Dear to Me) This is a weird one for me because I find Ai Di's personality really relatable, but I am a sucker for a little hot head with bleached hair (see also: Mollie from The Warp Effect). Throw in the fact we know he'd love some BDSM, and he is a ride an a half.

Nim (The Warp Effect) I love Jan in general, I've had a crush on her since Tonhon Chonlatee, but Nim is just another little hothead that I just...ooft. She's a boxer. Of course I'm gonna want her.

Ken (KinnPorsche) The funny thing about this is I don't even like KinnPorsche. (Okay, that's a lie, I hate the way the fandom behaved and I REALLY despised the whole VegasPete thing, which more or less put me off the show.) However, this was probably the genesis of my crush on Perth. The swim race? *dies*

Uncle Jim (Moonlight Chicken) You know, I'd never overly fancied Earth until Moonlight Chicken. He's so handsome, but not my type right, but then Uncle Jim dropped and something just happened to me.

Oh-Aew (I Told Sunset About You/I Promised You The Moon) This is another odd one for me, and also a new one. I don't know how to explain this completely. He's just so beautiful, and the sleeping dom inside me has feelings.

Barry (Oh, Mando!) (Do you know how hard it was to find this gif? It's all RWRB that comes up when you Google Alex Diaz >.<) I loved how complicated Barry's character was in OM and come on, Alex is to die for.

No tags, but feel free to take part!

#i feel like i've started to out some of my kinks #and i'm sorry but not sorry #top ten meme #actor #force jiratchapong #alex diaz #pp krit #jan ployshompoo #silvy pavida #earth pirapat #fort thitipong #perth nakhun #louis chiang #mek jirakit

What would be a fitting entrance theme for each of your wrestling OCs?

In my opinion either Lunatic Rage or Man In The Box would fit Tak perfectly, I don't know, she just gives me Tommy Dreamer and Dean Ambrose vibes (Dreamer for the extreme and hardcore part of her and Ambrose for the crazy and unhinged part of her)

SUUUUUCH A GOOD QUESTION and ive thought a lot about it (those tak vibes are spot on she's very ecw) i'd want her to use something from rob zombie or white zombie cuz she was partly inspired by sean yseult who played bass in white zombie, so i thought Living Dead Girl or Electric Head p2 smth like that! LOL she could come out with a kendo stick and play it like a bass Blue Corazon would use Para Que by Anahi Yuna i'd give Hōki Boshi by Younha (from Bleach) STELLAR id put Babymetal - Shingeki cuz idky that song makes me get lost in daydreams imagining zero-g as an anime intro and makes me think of her C.K.O i keep thinking of Hit 'Em High (the monstars song from space jam but as a fighter it suits her kinda perfectly) can totally see her walking out to this shadowboxing in a cutoff hoodie Dagmara needs smth HEAVY AF like a good slow headbanger, like i wouldnt give her metallica BUT something like a Sad But True / Thing that should not be / Harvester of Sorrow vibe, slow heavy groove that the fans can chant "DAG! 🤘 DAG! 🤘 DAG! 🤘 DAG!" along with it (i feel like she'd be really into BLS) Sombrio and Malu i gotta think about still

#thanks for asking this i love talking about them #zero-g wrestling #stellar #yuna #dagmara #tak #cko #blue corazon

Cherry Magic Episode 7 Review - Their First Date

Adachi and Kurosawa go on a date! Though, it ends a bit disastrously as Kurosawa went a bit overboard, but Adachi decides to take him out on a second, calmer date to make up for it. This whole episode was them getting used to dating, which I’m glad that Adachi is finally taking some initiative. Now there’s a bigger issue at hand: what will Adachi do about his magic? Will he tell Kurosawa?

The first date portion was cute, but in a cringe way. Like, I was gushing, but I was also cringing so hard. Kurosawa’s date song was the most HILARIOUS THING ever and it gave me secondhand embarrassment as well. How many times did Ryota Suzuki attempt to do this without laughing? I’d be laughing at the very first note if I was recording this. Also, am I the only one who thinks that getting a helicopter is going a bit overboard? While it’s nice to see how smitten and devoted Kurosawa is, he did do too much. I’m glad that he learned his lesson in a way and that he doesn’t have to go overboard next time. Speaking of his voice actor, I wonder how many takes it took for him to speak that fast at the part where Adachi held his hand.

I was a bit sad that the first date ended up with Adachi being a bit too self-conscious about people’s opinions about him dating Kurosawa. Please understand that this is Adachi’s first ever date and that Kurosawa is the first person he ever dated. It’s understandable that the first date would be awkward. In fact, I feel like Adachi’s behavior is a bit realistic in a sense. Fortunately, Adachi makes up for the messy end by taking Kurosawa out on a second date where they talk about their favorite manga, looking at merch and then eating at the bar Adachi regularly goes to. As an introvert, I think that chiller dates suit them a lot better than helicopter dates. Like, I also like the fact that Adachi took the initiative and asked him out on another date and even held his hand. I do like that he’s putting in effort for dates and that he does want to make this work out too.

I do like the transition from having a successful date to now wondering about if he should tell Kurosawa about the magic and what not. When one wall is climbed, another one shows up. I feel like Kurosawa’s not going to resent Adachi for having the magic; he’s too much of a simp to hate him. I mean, look at Kurosawa at the office after the first date ended in failure; he looked like he was going to erase himself from existence. I’m sure things will work out because they’re both surprisingly good when it comes to voicing out their thoughts.

Speaking of which, Asahina, Kurosawa’s superior who showed up last episode appears again. He’s voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto (Chad from Bleach, Germany from Axis Powers Hetalia). He’s been in BL before, so he’s no stranger to the genre. I was surprised when his name showed up in the credits like “Wait…”

Anyways, what do you think will transpire next episode? Will Adachi tell him or will it drag out? Will their next dates after today’s episode be good ones? What are your thoughts on this episode and about Kurosawa’s date song?

Looking for an RP partner

So... lately I have been having an itch to write/RP... it's been years since I last wrote anything substantial... but I want to hop back onto the "bicycle" so to speak, so here's to some self advertising and info about myself.

Before you proceed, keep in mind I'm 29NB and any future partners willing to RP with me MUST be 21+. I would prefer it if they were 25+ as it would mean they are closer to my age, but I'm not going to be nit picky about the age range as long as they are 21 years old.

I have some RP experience both in tumblr and discord, but as I previously stated, it's been years. I also written a fic here and there, years ago.

My replies tend to vary from one liner sentences to multiple paragraphs in one go or in-between depending on my creative juices. You don't need to match my length (if I get crazy and reply you in one too many multiple paragraphs) if the creative juices aren't flowing.

I am looking for a casual partner, someone who feels comfortable with me and vice versa. Someone who wants to have fin with me and making up stories for our favorite characters/ships.

Also very important for me, communication is key. Specially before starting a RP and during. We have to know each other's squicks, hard no's and anything that could be potentially triggering to either one of us.

I am very open minded and I am willing to RP almost anything for example: smut, GL, BL, HET, dark stuff, violence, gore, bdsm, a/b/o, mpreg/fpreg....etc. Thinking about it, I might just RP about anything as long as it's talked to beforehand, there might be some instances where I might say no, depending on the characters and the story being written. (I'm saying like if the situations call for it I might bre willing to write vore, which I personally don't like)

I shall only RP in discord and discord only. It's easier and cleaner. I ain't going back to tumbr RPing, unless I get begged to go back to that mess. I don't wan't create a character tumblr blog ever again, or do I?

I am an ever loving multi-shipper and love many ships, however I do have my OTPs.

I don't mind doing RP with OCs, whether they be OC x OC, or MC x OC. I do have some OCs that live mostly in my head. (I might share them one day to the world, maybe, maybe not.)

And now... it is time to put down the list of some of the fandoms I am willing to RP and the characters (muses) I am comfortable to RP as and some of the ships that go with it. (Bold means I feel way more comfortable than usual writing for the character, don't know why, some characters just sing to my soul I guess?) Regardless, I'll RP as anyone and I'll do any ships, unless they are a NOTP. This is just a sample list, if you decide to RP with me, we can talk more in depth about it.

Jujutsu Kaisen -I am all caught up with the manga- (muses: Gojo Satoru, Itadori Yuuji, Nanami Kento, Zenin Maki, Todo Aoi) (Ships: Any/Yuuji, Maki/Nobara, Satoru/Suguru, Nanami/Vacation, etc...)

Chainsaw Man -I am all caught up with the manga- (muses: Denji, Power) (ships: any/any)

Gintama -I am feeling nostalgic- (muses: Shimura Shinpachi, Sakata Gintoki, Kondo Isao, Okita Sougo) (ships: ginshin, kondo/okita, hijikata/okita...etc)

Dragon Ball (muses: Son Goku, Vegeta, Bulma..etc) (ships: any)

Demon Slayer (muses: Kamado Tanjiro, Agatsuma Zenitsu, Rengoku Kyojuro, Uzui Tengen) (ships: any)

Uh... those are the ones that are coming up with some character preference... Here's another list of other fandoms I am in and are willing to RP. It is mixed media, not only anime like the above list.

Daimond no Acce

A Song of Ice and Fire (that includes the shitshow that GoT became)

House of the Dragon

SuperBat (yes, just the ship. I am familiar with DC to some degree, movies, some cartoons -Justice League-)

Marvel (I'm stuck in stucky, but I am more comfortable with Marvel than I am with DC)

Naruto (No Boruto anything.)

Bleach

Fate Series

JoJo

Eyeshield21

...and more... just ask and I shall let you know. If you decide we would be a good RP, just sent me a message here in tumblr or an ask. (and pray I actually see it cause I'm bad with that kind of stuff)

#rp #role play #jjk rp #chainsaw man rp #gintama rp #dragon ball rp #demon slayer rp #asoiaf rp #rp search

one two three

“Boo.”

Benny swivels to the side, agile on the heel of his boot to find Benji behind him. He’s post show exhausted looking, hair still stringy from sweat, dark marks under his eyes. There’s bandages on one of his hands, because his calluses had betrayed him and broke during the closing number. The blood is still on the drum set, which needs to be cleaned down, disinfected, put away.

And a roadie could do that—but it’s Benji. Who is particular about his drum kit.

“I’m not Xavier,” Benny replies, tongue on his canine tooth as he sneers. “Can’t sca-scare me.” Benji snorts at that, rolls his eyes and flexes that bandaged hand. Most of the stage is broken down already—there’s a lull in the frantic energy that Benny has slipped himself into.

Sometimes it’s nice; being on the stage, looking out into the empty space where hundreds of people had just been. Pressing closer and closer. Right up against him, usually, with excited, grabbing hands toward the musicians on stage. Benny didn’t envy them that—he wasn’t like Xavier, who got nauseas at the mere idea of being the center of attention. Instead, it just exhausted him. The idea of performance. He reckons, he’d look similar to Benji.

Like a bus fucking hit him.

But when it’s drained of all the people and lights and the music, it’s nice. Hollow feeling, sort of sits heavy in the chest like.

“What’s that for?” Benji gestures to the little container of wipes in Benny’s hands.

“Late n-ni-night snack.”

“Give it,” Benji says with an exhausted gesture of his hand. Because it’s sort of obvious what the wipes are for, considering Benny stands directly in front of the kit and no one else has many any moves toward it just yet. Either because of the blood, or maybe because they’re afraid of the drummer. Benny is neither squeamish, nor fooled by Benji’s bite. So he rolls his eyes and tucks the wipes behind his back, taking a step toward the kit.

“Relax. No bl-bleach. Just sanitizing wipes.”

“Yeah? S’nice. Give it.”

Benny fishes into his pocket with a heavy sigh. He pulls out the e-cigarette that Matilda had told him would be just like smoking a real cigarette. It isn’t, and it really only annoys him when he tucks it between his teeth and takes a drag. It’s nowhere near as satisfying a burn in his lungs, nor does it taste as good as menthol, and when he puffs the vapor out his nose, it just sort of tickles. Makes him sneeze and have to shoot his hand out to grab the vape before it clatters to the ground.

“Trying to st-stop smoking.” The bandages on Benji’s hand have little spots of red on them. Benny is no stranger to pain, but even he has to admit the sting of sweat on hand injuries is something else. He doesn’t look like he’s in pain—just tired. Benny takes another hit on the vape. “Maran’s been making puppy eyes at m-me over the cigarettes.”

“That’s whipped behavior, mate.”

“Whhp.” Benny mimes having one, making a crack in the air as he starts walking toward the drum kit. “I’m up f-for it if Maran ever wants to try.” He gives Benji a big sleazy grin, full of teeth that could be close to Xavier’s pretty toothy smile if Xavier also looked like he built nail bombs in his spare time. He’d hoped the comment would distract Benji, but it doesn’t—he darts forward and Benny hops around and points to the stool.

Ratspit makes plenty of money. Plenty. Hard not to think about how much money they make—and Benny is privy to the finer details. Like that Lark and Benji have a larger stake in the company that is Ratspit than the other members. But Benji’s stool is worn in, the leather on the seat cracking around the edges. He could afford a new one and Benny doesn’t know why he doesn’t.

He pats it.

“Still warm,” he comments.

“You’re out of it, mate.” Benji looks close to getting angry, but that doesn’t deter Benny. It’s not that Benji puts on the same veneer as he does; but they are similar in that they have veneers. He could put Benny in his place, with words or hands if he really needed to. Benny just has a sense—something prey like, animal fear—about people that aren’t as scary as they look. There’s give to Benji. Something soft that he isn’t trying to manipulate, but be friends with.

“I’m j-just gonna f-fu-fucking wipe it down, Benji.” He waves the container of sanitizing wipes back and forth and then pats the stool again. “Wouldn’t attempt to break th-this thing down if you fucking paid me. So, just sit and watch.” He pops the top off the container and starts kneeling. Benny wiggles a brow suggestively, notching his knees apart and clucking his tongue. “M’like real entertainin’ to watch.”

Benji sinks onto the stool with a long, tired sigh. He flexes his hands, examines the one that’s bandages as Benny plucks out a wipe and looks at what he thinks is the snare. The blood was particularly bad there. For a moment, he stares at it and his eyes go slightly fuzzy. He isn’t squeamish but sometimes blood—in certain patterns, or shades—make his brain try and crawl backward. He bites his lip and shakes the wipe out a bit before he starts gently rubbing at a splattering line.

“You don’t like our music,” Benji suddenly comments.

“Nope,” Benny agrees. He works harder at a little spot that has already dried, wrinkling his nose. There’s a long pause. A roadie at the left of the stage talks quietly to a tech who is packing up long cables. He watches the wipe slowly turn pink.

“There music you do like?”

Benny whips out another wipe and starts going at the metal rim of one of the drums. He doesn’t know the particular anatomy, so to him it’s just all drum. This close, he can see how well worn it also is. Not just the stool. He wonders if Benji has really kept the same kit for that long. He shifts a bit on his knees, the stage cruel against the bones and sighs.

“Rap,” Benny replies. He cuts his eyes over to Benji to see if there might be a subtle pass of judgment over his face. Music types are like that. If you’re not into what they’re into, then you have bad taste. Benny is used to that response, considering the music scene he’s ended up working in. Instead, Benji is grinning a little, a somewhat anxious bump to his knee. He looks good smiling, Benny realizes. Because it’s not something he’s plastering on for effect. Looks real.

“Old school,” Benny continues as he moves to clean more little spots of blood. “Naughty by Nature. Black Sheep. Notorious.”

“N.W.A?” Benny wedges his vape between his teeth, snide grin on as he puffs at it and cleans. Benji is smiling wider the next time he glances over. “Maran likes hip hop.”

This feels less like neutral ground and more like—well, it can’t be common ground either because Benji loves Maran differently than Benny (who will figure out a way to say that out loud, but not yet, not today). But it’s not as though Benji is extending the olive branch of an easy conversation they could both indulge in so there’s no awkward silence, because they both know Maran. Feels more like Benji is pleased he has someone else to talk about the man with.

You know Maran, he says with his eyes. I know Maran, Benny says back with his own. You know him better. Tell me about him. I’d like to know.

“Making him a pl-playlist,” Benny says, snapping out the last wipe and attacking the remainder of the drying blood. His knees are starting to hurt, this dull reminder that he is not in his twenties anymore. Benny leans back groaning, tossing the pink wipe with the rest that he’ll stuff into the trash in a minute or two. “He’s so fucking hyper on the bus.” He unfolds, snapping off his black nitrile gloves and tossing them to join the wipes.

“Do you wanna try?”

“What?”

Benji points to the drums and Benny actually jumps at the idea. He steps away from it, like it’s suddenly on fire, even though he had just spent half an hour dedicated to getting the little drops of blood out the metal edges. It seems to entertain Benji, whose hooded eyes look less sleepy now and more playful. There’s so many nuances to the drummers expressions, to his body language. Benny had never bothered before, because he thought Benji was an asshole. Rude, or mean. Not necessarily the fairest assessment.

He was still sort of nursing a bit of a wounded ego from—didn’t matter.

“M’gonna break it down in a minute. Nows your chance.” Benji stands from the stool in this panther like powerful grace that makes Benny blink a few times. The tips of his ears go hot and he looks away and stomps a combat boot on the stage. “Relax,” Benji teases playfully, shoving the stool his way. “Right?”

“D-Don’t fuck with me,” Benny mutters as he flops himself down onto the stool. He reaches down the the spare sticks, the ones that aren’t soaked red from the hand injury and holds them up. “Can I d-do the thing?”

“Aw, s’corny.”

“Can I?”

“Corny.”

“One, two, three!” Benny yells anyway, slapping the sticks together recklessly.

—

Benny wraps hands around Maran’s waist and absolutely yanks him back into the tiny alcove of a sleeping space that he has. There’s masking tape on the side that says BEN. Maran’s laugh is wild in response, a great squirm and kick as he attempts to escape but Benny’s arms slink further around him. Maran isn’t small by any measure and yet for some reason, Ben’s arms seem to be able to fold around his mid section so easily. His shirt slides up, forearms touching bare, smooth skin that for a moment distracts him. Ben tucks himself back up against the rumbling wall of the tour bus as it jerks along the road.

“Stop wriggling,” he says, squeezing hard enough to make Maran huff out a sound. He wraps a leg over the other man’s hip as well and frees an arm just to snatch at his blanket—something he’d brought from his own apartment because sleeping on the bus was hard enough. Small comforts.

“M’not wriggling,” Maran protests, in a voice that says I’m wriggling, what are you going to do about it?

“How ma-many energy drinks you had today?”

“Thought we were goin’ to listen to music?” He deflects and Benny huffs and rolls his eyes.

I’m going to ask Maran to stay after the tour. Benji had blinked at him, as he was panting, holding the sticks, beads of sweat collecting at his temple. Nothing he’d drummed made any sense, or sounded good at all, but it had felt nice to do it. There had been a beat of silence between them as he said it, that had seemed louder than the instrument.

Have fun, Benji had finally replied, taking the sticks and pushing the stool away with a foot. He’d been smiling, though. And had suggested a song for the playlist. Not an olive branch. Not a conversation filler. Maran was more—to Benji. And to Benny.

Unfortunately, the important, beautiful boy in question continues squirming until Benny slips a hand down the front of his jeans and into one of his pockets. Then he stills in alert excitement; then he realizes that Benny is going for the headphones. He makes a petulant sound at that—something between a sigh and a whine. Benny puts his hand underneath Maran’s chin, coaxes his jaw to the side with a tender push of his fingers and then kisses the corner of his lips.

“You’re going to fall asleep, aren’t you?”

“Fuck yeah,” Benny sighs contently as he takes one of the headphones and puts it into Maran’s ear. He repeats the gesture with his own and then settles back on the tiny little cot. Maran finally stops moving as much. Except his hand moves back, places itself on the curve of Benny’s thigh—and he drums his fingers to the rhythm of a song as the playlist starts up.

“Boo.”

And a roadie could do that—but it’s Benji. Who is particular about his drum kit.

Like a bus fucking hit him.

But when it’s drained of all the people and lights and the music, it’s nice. Hollow feeling, sort of sits heavy in the chest like.

“What’s that for?” Benji gestures to the little container of wipes in Benny’s hands.

“Late n-ni-night snack.”

“Relax. No bl-bleach. Just sanitizing wipes.”

“Yeah? S’nice. Give it.”

“That’s whipped behavior, mate.”

He pats it.

“Still warm,” he comments.

“You don’t like our music,” Benji suddenly comments.

“There music you do like?”

“Old school,” Benny continues as he moves to clean more little spots of blood. “Naughty by Nature. Black Sheep. Notorious.”

“N.W.A?” Benny wedges his vape between his teeth, snide grin on as he puffs at it and cleans. Benji is smiling wider the next time he glances over. “Maran likes hip hop.”

You know Maran, he says with his eyes. I know Maran, Benny says back with his own. You know him better. Tell me about him. I’d like to know.

“Do you wanna try?”

“What?”

He was still sort of nursing a bit of a wounded ego from—didn’t matter.

“Aw, s’corny.”

“Can I?”

“Corny.”

“One, two, three!” Benny yells anyway, slapping the sticks together recklessly.

—

“M’not wriggling,” Maran protests, in a voice that says I’m wriggling, what are you going to do about it?

“How ma-many energy drinks you had today?”

“Thought we were goin’ to listen to music?” He deflects and Benny huffs and rolls his eyes.

“You’re going to fall asleep, aren’t you?”

I had the autistic impulse to map my fandom timeline instead of doing the dishes, so here is the result.

This is media in which I was actively engaging with fan activity, whether online or in person, for at least a good portion of the year. This doesn’t include everything that I read/watched at any given time. Some of these things I kept up with before/after I got into the fandom. And there’s a lot of things I read/watched/played that I never participated in fandom for.

2001 (aka the year I got unsupervised internet access): Inuyasha, Rurouni Kenshin, HP

2002: Rurouni Kenshin, HP, Tolkien

2003: Rurouni Kenshin, HP, Tolkien, AVP, Linkin Park

2011: DW, Star Trek, Fringe, Being Human, Sherlock, Tron, Marvel

2012: DW, Star Trek, Fringe, Sherlock, Elementary, Marvel, Hunger Games, Game of Thrones

2013: DW, Star Trek, Fringe, Elementary, Marvel, GOT, Pacific Rim, WTNV, The Hobbit, Once Upon a Time

2015: Marvel, HQ, GSNK, Pacific Rim, Attack on Titan, WTNV, Star Wars, Hakuouki, butai

2016: Marvel, HQ, Pacific Rim, Hakuouki, Mystic Messenger, Yuri on Ice, butai, Zero Escape, Daiya

2017: HQ, Pacific Rim, Hakuouki, YOI, butai, Touken Ranbu

2019: Hakuouki, YOI, butai, BFU, Star Wars, Golden Kamuy, Guardian, Promare, Ossan’s Love

Soooo….with my love of KinnPorsche slowly dragging me down into watch Thai BL, I decided after watching Ingredients for Jeff Satur, I’m going to watch My Engineer for Perth! I saw the first episode of the RamKing Retrospective Perth did, and I was like, without checking anything out about the show, I’m going to watch and finish My Engineer.

And that was an experience, let me tell you.

KinnPorsche spoiled me a little too much

First episode, I had no knowledge of what I was getting into and it was a dumpster fire of confusion. But I’m a man on a mission, and I keep pushing through because I saw the first episode of the RamKing retrospective, I know deep down, there is a light at the end of that tunnel.

And on some level, I was right because every time Perth was in a scene everything brightened up, and like jesus, his visual acting is so incredible and that it’s like he is just completely blowing every other couple out of the water with a single expression. He’s my best boy and I was here for him and King and I stayed that way.

The main couple kind of melted my brain, but I did really enjoy their friend groups though! They were fun and added humor and made me enjoy a lot of parts and kept me somewhat invested in things that weren’t RamKing and it’s because of them I finished the show.

The couples, in order of enjoyment:

-RamKing: 100/10, they are the golden couple making it all worth it, the reward amidst the drama, the reason I keep going, this a Jane Austen Shakespearean type romance of communication and heartfelt vulnerability and intimacy amidst their dumpster fire friends, the actors have incredible chemistry and were carrying this show on their backs

-BossMek: Definitely cheesy but I’m a sucker for pining and being in love with your best friend and the whole selfless sacrifice of love trope and the totally no married couple, so I had fun with them. Also Mek looked like a sobbing wet poor little meow meow of a kicked puppy like 95% of the time and I loved that

-BohnDuen: It’s 3:00 am, I’ve lost control of my life and I just want to feel something again so I’ve turned to this

-FrongThara: Burn it from my brain, I didn’t see it, it does not exist, somehow both blander than boiled chicken??? Didn’t think that was possible. The type of thing I read one paragraph and immediately exit out of and try and get some bleach for my mind because a few sentences turned me off a theoretically fun story that much. I don’t man but every time they are on screen I was like I will even take more BohnDuen, please just end my suffering

Overall though:

- I am a raccoon so I always have some fun with trashy media, so I spent a good amount of time cackling at things

-“Duen is my wife!”/“Bohn is the bottom!” My brothers in Christ neither of you are getting laid in the first place

-Me every time Ram was shown: There he is! There’s my favorite boy!!

-Seriously every single on Ram’s expressions and actions mean everything to me, they are *chef’s kiss* perfection

-By episode 9, I decided I no longer had time for all this and my brain was starting to fizzle out, but I refused to give up because I was already invested in a.) finding out how the fuck this show is going to end with it’s buckwild plot b.) I wanted to know what’s going to happen with RamKing and BossMek and I wanted to know the context for them, and every single Ram and King individual scene so I refused to give up

-So what I’d do is put the episodes on 2x speed and then when Ram or King showed up, I’d put in back on normal speed so I could enjoy them properly. If it was BossMek or the friend groups, I’d have on 1.5x-1.25x speed depending on my investment level

-This show was trippy experience from beginning to end and kind of a complete train wreck at times and the camping subplot was the weirdest thing and I still don’t fully know why they had it and there were far too many times where I had no fucking clue what was going on or what the point of this subplot was but I definitely had some fun watching it and got a good amount of enjoyment

-The one couple that kept me going, the only reason I was here and I pushed through everything for, didn’t officially get together!

-RamKing had a tent kiss, they shared a bed, I finally thought everything was coming together for this beautiful slowburn strangers to friends to lovers relationship of intimacy and vulnerability and kindness! I had won, I had totally won!

-And then King wanted to pretend it never happened, put me through the five stages of grief in the course of like 5 minutes, Ram thankfully didn’t forget but King left to go to his grandma’s house with no communication or indication of what’s going to happen moving forward.

-It’s fine we’re fine I’m not dying on the inside

-It’s not like they said they were doing a season 2 and then there’s been no word about season 2and I desperately want to know what happens with RamKing

-Well at least I can console myself with Perth’s RamKing retrospective!

-I was really way too spoiled with KinnPorsche, huh?

15 oc questions!

i was tagged by @stargazer-sims - thank you so much!! ❤️ i've never done one of these tags in a character's voice, so it's fun to get extra practice writing as them 😊

i'll tag:

@dandylion240 @bl-sims-anime @idyllicephemera @elderwisp @nectar-cellar @minty-plumbob @crazykissim @mangosimoothie & anyone else who wants to do it!

ANYWAY i'm doing this for grant! idc if y'all have heard enough about grant, the honor goes to him

are you named after anybody?

my actual legal first name is joseph, which is my grandfather's name! so, uh, somehow yes, i am named after somebody! but i'm 99.9% sure it was out of laziness and not out of love. well, no, i'm 100% sure of that. it's not like my mom has ever respected her parents...but that's a whole different thing, we're not going there.

when was the last time you cried?

i'm a crybaby, come on! i'm known for being very emotional. i mean, sad animal commercials make me weepy. externally weepy. like tears running down my cheeks weepy. but the actual last time i cried? hmm, maybe like a week ago? i don't know if i could tell you why, though. i probably blocked it out of my memory! i'm great at that.

do you have kids?

do, uh, do cats count? because i do have a cat who i love and put sweaters on. sweaters! and he loves it.

do you use sarcasm?

it depends? sarcasm usually feels mean-spirited to me, so i'm not super into it, but then again, that's half the conversations i have with my family. i know in that case, though, that it's all bullshit humor and not serious. anyway, i think what i'm saying in a roundabout way is it depends a lot on context and audience. i don't want to hurt anyone's feelings or be a dick. i like being nice.

what's the first thing you notice about people?

okay, listen, in the most normal and not at all weird way possible, people's hairlines are always what i see first. i've been the first witness to so, so many fake blondes accidentally showing their dark roots or to dudes going bald. i'm sorry! i'm just freakishly tall! i can't not look down at all your heads unless i'm kneeling down on the ground. i'm not trying to spy on or judge the state of your hair, i promise.

what's your eye color?

brown! justice for brown eyes, the best eye color. i love being able to go out in the sun and not have my eyeballs bleached by the light. also, there's really not that many brown eyes in my family, so that's kind of fun. i'm a special boy.

scary movies or happy endings?

why not both? i love a good blair witch project, final destination moment. i also love a nice mushy gushy romantic movie with a happy ending. hell, i'd watch both in the same evening. start off with a fucked up horror movie and end it with pride and prejudice. sounds like a perfect night to me.

any special talents?

probably not anything relevant? i mean, i've played skyrim on survival mode without dying before. oh, and i guess back when i was still playing hockey, uh, a decade ago, i could score with the michigan goal pretty easily, which isn't all that common. in high school, i got my school the state championship win with that skill. but meh, i don't know how many people in the world know enough about hockey to care about that.

where were you born?

michigan! the part everyone forgets about, aka the upper peninsula, aka diet canada.

what are your hobbies?

i like to think i'm a well rounded person. i enjoy the super basic stuff like listening to music, but i'm also into into video games and tabletop RPGs like d&d. cooking and baking are fun for me, too. i did get into art semi-recently as well. i kind of had to have something i could do while laying down, like, 24/7 after i had spinal surgery.

if you're ever bored, just go fuck up your spine. you'll have SO much time on your hands to get new hobbies. actually, don't. please don't. i've been suffering for years and will continue to. i'm dying. don't be me. pretty please. pinky promise.

oh, duh, i also forgot that i'm into astronomy and um, planes. look, i'm not a car guy, i'm a plane guy. that's more fun, right?

have you any pets?

he's a cat named turtle, so, like, you know, the best cat in the world. sometimes i think about getting him a cat friend to hang out with but then i worry he'd get jealous, so i haven't done it. who am i to say whether or not he wants to live with a friend? or a sibling? being alone is so valid. i respect that.

what sports do you play/have you played?

oh, well, like i said, i played hockey for a really long time, like from, hmm, i think kindergarten and on! i even got a scholarship in college to play hockey. i'm glad to be done, though. some things ruined it for me. long story. but these days, uhh, i don't play any real sports anymore. i like hiking, you know, and i do work out at least every other day because it makes me feel better in a lot of ways, but that's kind of it. my sports days are over. i don't even skateboard anymore and i used to do that all the time.

how tall are you?

like 6'7" - though, i am rounding down a little bit. yes, down. not up. also, don't ask me how i ended up that tall. i have exactly one relative who is also tall. hi, chelsea! anyway, i am an accident or one hell of a joke. i'm laughing, i swear. it's very funny.

favorite subject in school?

i was overall a good student because i studied pretty hard but i was for sure a science and math kid. i loved physics in high school. and then in college, i got some way more fun science and math classes. just so you know, i am really holding back right now from rambling like a total nerd loser about my college classes...

but i mean, if you wanna learn about, i don't know, quantum mechanics or flight control systems, hit me up.

dream job?

that's such an easy question! when i was really, really young, i wanted to be a weather man, but then i changed my mind and wanted to be a pilot because, i don't know, i hit that time in every child's life where they have to become obsessed with a form of transportation. but then i never let that obsession go. my parents wanted me to be a doctor the whole time, though, but eww, no, i'm good. anyway, the dream of flying planes never died and somehow it worked out. now if i could just, uh, you know, go back to that job soon, that'd be sick.

#tag games #hlcn: grant #hlcn: oc info #hlcn: story extras #i live for happy rambly silly goofy mood grant #he's so baby girl #he's also 100% the kind of person that says UHHH UMMM YEAH SO LIKE UMMM way too much #he's also definitely one of those people who cannot tell a coherent story #it's always “yeah so this happened OH AND WAIT UH SO LIKE YES ACTUALLY BACKSTORY FIRST okay so then next after that”#“anna write less than 50 words per question challenge” coming soon #jk we all know that's not gonna happen #it's the autism i must communicate unnaturally #also *continues talking* sorry i'm being so bad about asks and tag games recently #i'm not ignoring y'all i swear!! i'm just dying and drowning in homework

Just started watching Don’t Say No the Series and thoughts after ep 1…

Fiat’s eyelashes are lovely. He looks very pretty with his eyes closed, especially when breathing hard.

Also love that he’s a slut. Bot Slut Rep is much needed in the BL world.

You got a cute booty. Share it. God doesn’t like stingey people.

The friends are entertaining me. I love a bitchy duo. I had a harem of friends in college and we spent all our time doing one of three things: screwing each other, talking about wanting to screw each other, listening to each other complain about screwing one of us. So again, nice touch with the Bitchy Gay Friends Rep.

Also also… everyone must go through so much bleach when they do laundry. Or maybe they just toss out their shirts each week and get new ones. I mean, they are driving old rich men’s cars around and live in spotless homes kept spotless by maids forced to work in dress clothes.

As for the super hot guy who is a fumbling idiot at love… that tracks too! There’s always at least one in every group that stays in their head too much to ever relax enough to enjoy casual sex.

This gap between experiences can grow very large in your college years… you’re either putting in the leg work or not, ya dig? Most people’s mileage goes waaaaaay up after a few years in their early twenties. Once you hit the legal drinking age and have access to some private space void of parental oversight, you’re gonna find ways to fill your nights.

Anyways… what can I say? So far I am surprised by how much I am enjoying the premise of this cheesy little Thai BL. Curious to see what happens next…

Okay tagged by @cchapsticck and school and work have been kicking my ass but I still have stuff, and damn it, things are going to get done eventually.

right |

He was allowed to hold this grudge, to feel this way. Harrington was an X, had him Number 6 on the list, would have killed him without a second thought and a grin on his face before he got de-bleached, and why did everyone want him to just let that go? Just cause he seemed normal? Like some nice fuckin’ normal guy who shrugged his shoulders when people spit at him and helped people. Like he hadn’t been at the right hand of BL/Ind. There was a piece of Eddie knew that he was reacting to this in a way that was irrational, for way more reasons than had to do with Harrington’s old profession (and more to do with the way he laughed at a joke, the wide grin on his face), but he didn’t have to acknowledge that to anyone. Least of all himself.

reason |

Eddie placed his hand over Steve’s mouth, and he was warm, so warm, and his entire body was trembling, a visceral reaction to feeling another human after two months. That was it, the only reason. Get it together, Eddie. Think, think, stop laughing like you’re mad (but you are, you are).

break |

Steve might have been off at college, but it was spring break, which meant he was still on driving duty for the kids. Or well, he didn’t have to be, but he wanted to be. As much as he bitched about it to their faces, he missed them when he was off at school. There was something soothing about having a car full of rowdy dipshits as he drove down the backroads of Hawkins.

done |

His eyes were searching Pony’s, as if he were expecting an answer in the negative, as if Pony didn’t know what he was doing. And–yes he might not have done this before, but it felt like all roads had been leading here. Only difference was that it wasn’t the dead end he thought it would be. Pony wanted to go full speed, blasting down the track to see where it led.

lost

It was good when Steve showed up; kept him from getting lost in his own damn thoughts at least. Eddie knew he was actively putting his foot in his mouth from nervousness, but it seemed to be a mutual issue between the two of them. (If he had been told before all this that King Steve would trip over his words around Eddie, oh that would have been a fucking top tier joke.) It was good to hear that those Reganinite Fascists Fucks did something right by Wayne and gave him a house. The idea of Wayne though, getting a damn house, a real house out of the trailer park, because their home was destroyed by the gaping hell he was currently trapped in? It sat in his gut, festering. Fucking Munson luck, really. Would be funny if it wasn’t so damn sad.

I'm absolutely shit at tagging anyone, so I'm...not

Here is my finished list!!!

I'm gonna talk about each tier/entry individually just to go over why I like/love them (also our favs are gonna be diff and if yours aren't on here don't bust a nut or anything)

Constantly Rotating in My Mind:

so this tier is for my absolute favourites, they've pretty much become part of me at this point and I think about them non-stop, starting with;

Bleach (Anime + Manga)

So, where the fuck do I even begin with this one lmfao, Bleach is honestly my top favourite piece of media, ever, to me. everything about this just clicked with me, from the art style to the fights, the music but those aren't what made Bleach my favourite, sure they helped but it wasn't what sold me. What sold me was the characters, from the protagonist Ichigo, to the supporting characters and villains It's the characters in Bleach that always just stood out for me the most and made me love the series, especially their arcs! with Byakuya's probably having my favourite arc, besides Ichigo (but tbh I'm biased with him since he's my fav character) They all just have such believable motivations, goals and relationships. (also quick side note but I'm sick of the Orihime slander y'all better put some respect on her name, just because she got with Ichigo over Rukia and also just because of the anime's adaptation of her.)

Trigun ('98 Anime)

Trigun is honestly a recent addition to the list! I only actually watched it in January this year! But it quickly made list because I found it to be so compelling, it's got it's comedic moments for sure with Vash, Meryl and Millie but its also got such tragedy and sadness in it with not only Vash and Knives relationship (which isn't as explored in '98 as Maximum and Stampede, although you could say that about alot of '98's adaptation) but also with Vash's struggle when he eventually ends up taking a persons life, his relationship with this parental figure, Rem and his best(boy)friend Wolfwood. To the setting! it all just spoke to me and It's quickly ended up becoming my second favourite!

Jujutsu Kaisen (Anime + Manga)

If I had to describe the JJK manga in just one sentence It'd probably be along the lines of "It's so over, we're so back, its over) It's got a lot of peaks and valleys, and I don't mean that in a negative way of it being bad, but in it's triumphant moments and then being cast back down into despair (recent chapters being an example lol) But like Bleach, what I find really compelling about JJK is it's characters! It also has some of the best written characters in an anime, especially its villains! I really like the writing behind them, especially Suguru Geto's corruption into a villain! But also just how messed up the Jujutsu sorcery world and how insane you actually have to be a part of it.

Hellsing (Anime + Manga)

I'll keep this one short, Its Vampire Nazi's vs Dracula, with some badass female characters and music, also its gory as shit 10/10.

My Love Mix-up! (Manga)

This is the first BL manga that I've actually ever read! As someone who has grown up with just a general lack of LGBTQ characters and romance in their media, to find that their is an entire genre of manga for it was really eye-opening! I ended up becoming really invested in the "will they wont they" kind of relationship going on between the 2 MC's for the first few volumes, especially Kōsuke Ida, him navigating that, first of all what does it mean to "like" someone when you've never romantically interested in someone before, but then when that person is same sex. spoke to my own personal experiences growing up. It's what made me like the manga so much, also it's comedic moments! It's actually a very funny manga, especially the side couple.

Full Metal Alchemist (Anime + Manga)

FMA has one of the best stories I've ever seen in an anime/manga, the way it's so inter-connected and all the threads of plot/characters are so weaved together are! so! good! The characters and their arc's! Scar being a prime example of this! (I'm really struggling to articulate why I love this show so much lmao, look I really just love it do I have to justify everything??)

Blue Flag (Manga)

This is a LGBTQ+ story, that I'd actually recommend you just go and read it for yourself! I don't really wanna spoil anything, and if I talk about this manga I will!! just go read it now!!!!! (side note I can't believe the series got cancelled??!!!! like???!!! because of that we really got to miss out on a relationship between 2 characters!!!! and even though they get married at the end!!!!! It's still kinda vague!!!!!)

Chainsawman (Anime + Manga)

Again, one of the thing's that made me absolutely love Chainsawman is the characters, but most of all it's their motivations, and how "human" they are. and by that I mean just so, normal. Which is a weird thing to say, but when the norm for Shonen MC's is that they wanna fight and kill god, having one whose main goal is 1, Touch Boobs, get a girlfriend and have sex, it's really refreshing. It just paint's what a "normal" kid that Denji and the juxtaposition that is towards Aki, whose goal is to kill the Gun Devil. That kind of character writing is a what really drew me into the manga and made me love it. (ALSO I'm vastly oversimplifying thing's bc I don't really wanna spoil so that's just the gist of it) Also like the Found Family of Denji, Aki and Power. But I'm just a sucker for that trope!

I Think Our Son Is Gay (Manga)

This is some REALLY good positive LGBTQ representation, not just from the "MC" of the story Hiroki and him navigating being LGBTQ but from his mother's perspective as she tries be supportive/encouraging of him but also learning about what it means to be LGBTQ and what they face/go through. It's really heart-warming and sweet! I do want to throttle the dad sometimes though, I get that he's (supposed) to be learning and challenging his own bias' but if he upsets Hiroki again he will be catching these hands.

Our Dreams at Dusk (Manga)

Another LGBTQ+ story that I would highly recommend that you just go and read for yourself, It's in my opinion very powerful in it's depictions of the different LGBTQ identities covered in the story, and the struggles they face at the ages that they do! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this one (I believe the author is putting a new series out soon but I need to check up on that)

Castlevania (Anime)

This. Fucking. Series. It's got some absolutely amazing art and animation work on it, that just gets better and better with each subsequent season! Just like the characters! Not only are they just amazingly written with such depth, but their arc's and development are just some of the best in fiction.

Golden Kamuy (Anime + Manga)

Honestly, this is probably the Gayest Anime i've ever watched, without it actually being gay. But also it's probably the funniest anime I've ever watched, I've never laughed as much at something as I have watching this. It's also got a great story with a great kinda Sibling relationship between Sugimoto and Asirpa, and poor Tanigaki, literally the bara comedy relief of the show (Also I believe the author compared the characters dick sizes at one point? its crazy, in a good way.) I'd highly recommend!

Soul Eater (Anime)

Such a unique premise, Death himself runs a school that teaches people, regular school stuff, but also how to fight. Also some of the students can turn into weapons that the other students wield. And the moon has a face. So naturally its very good (also in a roundabout way its the sequel to Fire Force) HOWEVER The manga wasn't done when the series so I'm petitioning for a Soul Eater: Brotherhood so we get the full story!

Mob Psycho 100 (Anime + Manga)

One of my favourite aspects of this show is how it shows that nobody is too far gone, that nobody is beyond redemption and growth as person. It's a message I think a lot of people really need to hear, You can just decide to be a better person and leave the past behind you, while still learning from it. And all it takes is a Middle Schooler beating the shit out of you and calling you lame. (Also WaWa, I'm constantly rotating him in my mind)

given (Anime + Manga)

Pain. just, pain. I really like how the anime (and manga) handle the topics of grief, lose, love and toxicity. But also how to move on from that, how to process it and the importance of knowing how to communicate. It really makes for a beautiful if not incredibly sad story. (also fuck you Kaji, you know what you did.)

Sasaki and Miyano (Anime + Manga)

On the opposite side of the spectrum from given, we get Sasaki and Miyano! It's really just pure fucking fluff. It's a sweet slow-burn love story, that'd I'd really recommend if you like that kind of thing, also the fucking end music slaps.

Neon Genesis Evangelion (Anime + Manga)

Ooooh boy. NGE Is an anime that I think everyone takes something different from. whether it's the themes and messages it's trying to convey to the audience, or it's cool visuals or fights. It's got something for everyone. For me it's the message of self-love and acceptance it's conveying to the watcher through the eyes of Shinji, that we all have value and a place in the world, that it's okay for us to be here. But also it's message that escapism isn't a good thing, that we need to face our problems head on instead of hiding away from them. And then the Rebuilds building upon this and giving us even more! I'd highly recommend watching!! Just be a good mental head space lol.

Castle in the Sky (Anime)
