Twirls hair giggles kicks feet

I love your seisub content, so pls continue with it despite other people not being into the ship. It scratches that itch in me that wants angsty, fucked up shit that I can't find in bl manga without it being full of other stuff I'm not into. You made me come back to reading fanfic after not reading it for over 10 years lol. (Also reminder that I'm still dying for the continuation of the seisub ghost fic you have ajsjejskwk)

Thank you so much, I'm glad to hear that 🥺 ofc I'll be still writing seisub, I don't see myself getting out of fandom anytime soon. But I just don't see myself spending hours writing prompts on tumblr for less than 10 notes. But maybe that's for the best since it gives me more time to focus on actual fics

And you're 1000% on point about seisub having that special something which is hard to find in other ships. It rly scratches that itch for angst, freedom of expression given the 0 limitations and catharsis. Also today I sat and wrote 2k of that fic. Your message reminded me of how much I actually love that fic despite it being the most difficult thing to write (constant metaphors + character study + getting into psyche of two deeply complex characters + all the tension between them). I'm at 6k now, I'll try to get it somewhere between 10k and 15k and then finally update it 💕 thanks for motivation

'batts finally got to go to the arcade' update post

wacca - finally got to play this at a volume i could actually hear! im enjoying it a lot but a) i feel like i need to turn the speed up past the presets next time and b) i don't feel too challenged by anything in the 8-9 range im playing in and need to go higher. though as far as i can tell the expert tickets aren't widely available like chunithm? sidenote: i played the arcaea collab and it is immensely funny that the english patch translates hikari's name to 'light'

sound voltex - im still bad at sound voltex. i still drop lazers. thats ok. i cleared some 10-11s but i think this game just may not be for me

pop n music - first off this game is hard as shit just learning to read all 9 buttons. second why didnt anyone tell me about boys come back to me

dancerush stardom - what the fuck. this is fun as hell

chunithm new - i checked zenius right before the drive over to see that they had added a new cab within the last week that was allegedly offline. it is connected online and was able to pull my profile, but at the very end it fails to upload my scores? strange. anyway i got to try out some songs from the new tracklist i didn't get the time to at otakon. very sad random (my beloved) and mixed nuts were later additions

chunithm paradise lost - YEAH BABEYYY THAT'S WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT got my rating from 10.05 to about 10.60 and im slowly starting to work on some 12s. tried some world's end charts that killed me dead (but i cleared bbkkbkk!) also there was a group on their way out that apparently stopped to watch me play and i didn't realize until they started applauding at the end?? it was so funny. i think i was playing shiny days master (very fun chart)

Me, about to go on a 30 minute rant and spam spree of links: ✌️🤓 👁️👄👁️

As for how this came up - me fantasizing about a "deep down" by aimer ribbon routine(yes, chainsaw man ending 9). I mean, if something is popular enough this dream is realistic enough, right.... Right???

With a tilt of his head and the lacing of fingers together behind his back, Joshua weaves through the crowds within 104, striding his way up to a ( somewhat ) familiar presence among them. And once he's close enough to, he reaches a hand out in an attempt to ruffle the latter's hair.

"Been a while." Hardly having traveled worlds these past several weeks, it stands that the two of them haven't encountered each other in a while longer than that.

"Come here to escape the heat as well?"

Whoever wins the final tonight I will be happy

Sent the trailer for TGM to my bf, I hear him scream from the other room, “OOOOOO THIS IS GONNA BE SO FUCKING GOOD”

RG BUT IS TOTK?!?!?

Ah yeah, the iconic duo:

-The gifted, burned out hero with a difficult task, the pressure of the whole world on their shoulders who gave up their mental health in order to protect others.

-And the reincarnation of a deity-like being, being forced by an ancient legend, prophecy and curse to become the another hero of the story, giving up his initial dreams and having to face something they were never prepared to until they realize that the person who goes with them (who is also the embodiment of what you're expected to be) is the best person you've ever met and your bond is actually the key to defeating this evil force and hopefully stop this curse

It's literally them.

So I’ve never seen any Blade Runner movie although I really should because Harrison Ford is an icon, and I enjoy his movies. I’ll have to add the original(s) to my list to watch.

Iconic Homoerotic Betrayal: Round 1

Round 1 Directory

Context for TWEWY below. Beefleaf fans, drop your summary in the reblogs.

You play as Neku Sakuraba in this video game, who is in the Reapers' Game, fighting for survival and partnering up and with amnesia. Turns out you're dead! He doesn't remember how he died. His first partner gets taken from him so he ends up partnered with Joshua for week two. He's an asshole and rude but also has hidden depth to him, and really connects with Neku (who remembers everything EXCEPT how he died, now).

At the end of week 2! Joshua dies for you! Takes a blow to save Neku's life!

And then at the end of the game he shows up a-okay and says HEY IM THE ONE WHO KILLED YOU, I PUT YOU IN THE GAME, YOU HAVE TO SHOOT AND KILL ME OR IM GOING TO DESTROY THIS CITY YOU'VE COME TO LOVE, AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS TOO, KILL ME OR I WILL RUIN EVERYTHING

(AND NEKU DOESN'T SHOOT, AND NEKU DOESN'T KILL HIM, AND JOSH CHANGES HIS MIND BECAUSE NEKU CARED ABOUT HIM ENOUGH TO SAVE *HIM* TOO)

Josh is also very flamboyant and teases neku gayly. I love them your honor

Extended summary for Josh/Neku. Excellent read:

Okay, buckle in, because we are going on a ride. Player One: Neku Sakuraba. Dead kid extraordinaire. He woke up in the Reaper's Game, a game hosted in Shibuya's Underground, or UG (essentially the afterlife, it's a plane of existence on top of the Realground, or RG, which is the plane of the living), where freshly-dead souls partner up and compete for a second chance at life, with no absolutely no memories of who or where he was, much less how he died. Still, together with his first partner, he managed to win the Reaper's Game... but was denied a second chance.

The Conductor, who runs the Game, told them that the Composer, essentially the god of the Underground, had decided only one of them could return to life, and that was his partner, so Neku re-entered the Game for a second week in a row. Enter Player Two: Yoshiya Kiryu, but Mother and Father call him Joshua and, well, he supposes Neku can call him Joshua, too, seeing as he's his dear, dear partner. Joshua is annoying, grating, the manifestation of all of Neku's worst traits, the thing he could be if he refuses to grow, and he's constantly giggling and flirting with Neku. He's definitely hiding something, and eventually admits that he's still alive, playing the Game of his own accord. His ultimate goal is to become the Composer, as whoever defeats the current one takes their place and Joshua's status as a living Player makes him significantly more powerful. Plus there's the issue of the current Game Master, who seems to have taken an interest in Neku and causes headaches whenever he's around.

Partway through the week, Neku receives a flash of memory, the memory of his death. He was shot, and Joshua was behind the trigger. This information leaves Neku in a difficult position, as he can't win the Reaper's Game without a partner, and in fact, if his partner is erased, so is he. And he needs to win because his partner the previous week was taken as his entry fee, he's playing for her and he doesn't know what will happen to her if he loses. So he has to get along with his murderer for the rest of the week. Joshua, meanwhile, gleefully dances around the subject, never quite confirming or denying whether he killed Neku, even when confronted.

On the final day, they have to defeat the Game Master in order to win, and just before the fight, Neku receives the same flash of memory as before... but this time, it continues. Joshua pulled the trigger, but Neku didn't die. He didn't shoot Neku; just behind him lurked the Game Master, holding up a gun of his own. Joshua never killed him, Neku realized. He had spent all week distrusting his partner, when all along, he had been trying to protect him. And after they defeat the Game Master in the present, he releases one last attack, one that would certainly erase both of them. But Joshua pushes Neku out of danger, taking on the full force of the attack himself, leaving Neku alone with the guilt, of his distrust having pushed Joshua to figuratively take the bullet for him.

And once again, Neku is forced to play the Game again, but this time, he teams up with his new partner to use the clues Joshua left them with to find the Composer themself and bring an end to all this. And they do! As the city falls into chaos around them, denizens of both the UG and RG falling victim to mind control that must be the Composer's doing, Neku and his partner fight until the last day, until the only thing standing between them and the Composer Himself is the Conductor. And just as the fight is about to begin, Neku hears that familiar giggle. Joshua is alive. He calls the Conductor by name. But Neku barely has time to process this, because the Conductor fuses with Joshua for one final battle. And in the rubble of that, as the Conductor teeters at the edge of erasure, he asks Joshua what will become of the city. It turns out, one month prior, the Conductor made a deal with the Composer, who thought Shibuya had become stagnant and needed to be destroyed before its negative influence spread elsewhere. The Conductor had a month to prove that the city wasn't worthless, to turn the people into something more suitable - thus the mind control. To make it fair, the Composer decided that He was going to play with a hand-picked proxy in His place. But the Conductor failed. As he dissolves, erased, Neku finally gets to ask Joshua what's going on. "Hee hee... It was me, Neku," Joshua says. "I'm Shibuya's Composer." And Neku was his proxy. Finally, he returns Neku's memory of his death in full - the Game Master raised his gun, but he wasn't aiming at Neku, he was aiming at Joshua. And every bullet he fired was frozen mid-air, until he was turned to turn tail and flee. Then Joshua turned his gun on Neku once more, and shot him.

And now, Joshua, the Composer of Shibuya, decides to give Neku one last chance. They'll have a duel, and whoever wins gets to decide the fate of Shibuya. Neku doesn't get the chance to agree or disagree; Joshua gives him a gun, and the countdown begins. 10... 9.... Joshua raises his gun, smirking. Like he doesn't care. Like their time as partners meant nothing. 8... 7... Neku cries. He just stares at the ground, gun in his hand, and cries. 6... The sorrow turns to rage, and Neku raises the gun, aiming at Joshua with shaking hands. His eyes squeezed shut. 5... 4... He can't do it. 3... 2... Despite everything Joshua has done, despite killing Neku, lying to him, manipulating him and forcing him to play his sick Game, faking his own death, forcing Neku into this situation, planning to erase the entire city... Neku can't shoot him. Joshua is his partner. And Neku trusts him. 1. He lowers the gun. BANG. A single gunshot rings out, and Neku falls to the floor. The last thing he sees as his eyes close is Joshua's smiling face.

If you got here, know that I was very tempted to put joshneku in a threeway duel with komahina and akeshu but decided to split things up a bit.
