When Someone Tries to Touch Your Hair
JJK men x gn black!reader
I had this idea for a little while and I absolutely love it. As someone who has to literally fight off ppl with a stick to keep them from basically "petting" me, I thought it would be so cute to write about the JJK men sticking up for you
Warnings: Fluff!, no nsfw but MINORS ARE STILL NOT ALLOWED GO AWAY, angst in Gojo's, specified braids/locs/twists in Toji's, unwanted physical touch, I think that's it!
Starring: Nanami Kento, Toji Fushiguro, Gojo Satoru
MINORS DNI. AGELESS AND MINOR BLOGS WILL BE BLOCKED
Nanami Kento
Of course he remains calm, he's always calm. but trust, inside he is BOILING with anger
Kento adores your hair, it sounds weird but he loves watching you on wash day care and tend to your hair with such detail and precision. Apart of it is so he can learn to do it himself one day so you won't have to spend so much time doing it yourself
He's always buying the best products for you no matter how expensive he knows black hair care products can be.
Design Essentials, Creme of Nature, Mielle, jojoba oil, tea tree oil, hair masks, curling cream-- you name it (or even glance at it in the store) he's already bought it for you
So seeing someone disrespect you by even attempting to touch you makes him absolutely livid
Kento: "I don't know I didn't think it was all that great, the plot didn't really make a lot of sense." Kento said as you two walked out the doors of the movie theater.
Y/N: "What?! I thought it was good, you're always hating on superhero movies you're like an old person. Oh! the boba place closes at 9:30 did you still wanna--
"Oh my gosh I just have to ask who does your hair? It's so pretty!" A young woman around your age popped up from behind you guys, her intensity kind of startling you a little bit
Y/N: "Oh, thank you that's so sweet! I actually do it myself" you smiled and she looked at you in astonishment
"Really? Wow it looks like it was done by a professional, I bet it takes you so long!"
Kento's eyebrow raise and body stiffen in an almost defensive way, he was already anticipating what was coming next
Y/N: "Yeah, sometimes it can. It kind of just depends on how tired I am that d--
Your body leaned back as she reached out to grab the top of your head. Kento wrapped his arm around you and pulled you back by your shoulders, shooting daggers at the woman as if she had just committed an unforgivable act
Kento: "Please step back. You don't need to touch them to compliment them." he reprimanded and held a firmer grip on your shoulder. He wasn't going to yell at a woman he didn't know but he sure as hell was going to get his point across
"O-oh Im sorry I didn't mean anything by it. I just think it looks really ni--
Kento: "Then you can think it's nice from a distance, they're not a dog. Have a good night." Kento intwined your hand in his and led you away to the car. You looked up at him and a small grin grew across your face
Kento: "Don't look at me like that."
Y/N: "You're like a guard dog. Like a snappy little golden retriever." you giggled before planting a kiss on his jaw which he returned with one on the top of your head
Kento: "Cmon lets go get boba."
Toji Fushiguro
Rage, Rage, and more RAGE
The anger that fills this mans body when someone tries to touch you is immeasurable, ESPECIALLY if its a man
Sometimes you have to calm Toji down when someone tries but its no use, he's already out of his seat and practically ready to kill
Toji is definitely someone who values his personal space, so he completely understood your frustration when you talked about how crazy it is that some people think its okay to try and touch you without permission
He's only seen it happen a few times, thankfully most people had common sense. But there was always that one asshole that crosses the line
You and Toji were out on a late night supply run getting items for Megumis science fair project. You roamed through the aisles of the arts and craft store filling your basket with acrylic paint, styrofoam blocks, construction paper and glue sticks
Toji: "What kind of fifth grader does a science project on soil erosion? Can't we just do something normal like a volcano or something?"
Y/N: "Are you gonna keep complaining all night or are you gonna actually help find everything on the list?" You turned around mad dogging him, both of you were tired and a little bit cranky and snappy at one another. Most of it was playful but some of it intended
Toji: "You look like a pig when you scrunch your knows like that." He chuckled attempting to pull you in for a kiss
Y/N: "You bitch-- Go get someone to open the spraypaints for us!" You said shoving your hand in his face and pushing his head back. Toji sauntered away to find the nearest employee to assist you guys
You stood alone in the aisle for a few minutes scrolling through instagram to pass the time until Toji came back, until a tap on your shoulder caught your attention. A random man, had approached you attempting to spark a conversation. Your eyes jotted back and forth around the area wondering where tf could Toji be and why was he taking so long to get back
"You got a really pretty smile you know that? Pretty hair too, you do this all by yourself?" He asked and took one of your (protective style)'s in his hands
Toji: "Now you..." Toji came up behind the man and planted a firm grip on his shoulder, "...are way too ugly and way too short to think they'd ever want someone like you to touch them. Don't you think?"
The man trembled in place at the vast size difference between the two
"I--"
He couldn't get a whole sentence in before Toji pulled him back by his hair then slammed him head first into the shelves next to him, making the man scream in pain. The star captured the attention of multiple employees and needless to say it wasn't long until you were being led out of the building by security.
Toji: "Did I do too much again?" He asked from the passenger seat, knowing full well he didn't regret his actions
Y/N: "We just got banned from the store, what do you think Toji?"
Toji: "Are you mad at me?"
Y/N: "Yes I'm mad!"
Toji: "Mm. The blush on your face doesn't look like someone who'd be mad at me." He grinned and you tried to hide the smile that started to form
Y/N: "Shut the fuck up."
Gojo Satoru
Gojo unfortunately was very ignorant to the topic at first
Maybe it was a cultural difference but when you told him people would ask to touch your hair he thought it wasn’t that big of a deal
“If someone admired your hair so much that they want to get close to it shouldn’t that be a compliment to you? It’s like they’re complimenting an artist for their artwork right? I don’t really see the harm in that, I touch Getos hair all the time and he's fine with it.” He said once before
Nonetheless it led to a very heated argument
He didn’t understand all the fuss around it, that was until he saw it actually happen
Seeing how physically uncomfortable you get when someone you don’t know tries to “pet” you put it all in perspective for him
Y/N: “Gojo, hurry we’re gonna miss the train!” You shouted as you ran through the subway station
Gojo: “I’m coming slow down! I don’t wanna drop anything.” He followed closely behind carrying the other bags of groceries you guys got from the farmers market
You both managed to slip through the train doors in time before it departed. You two managed to find two seats by the window, it was a preferred spot that way you both could gaze upon the countryside greenery as you passed on your way back to the city. Gojo leaned against the window and you leaned against his shoulder, the both of you trying to get some rest after a full day of walking.
The train stopped at its next spot to let on a few more passengers and a tap on your shoulder shook you out of your rest.
“Can i touch your hair?” a young woman behind you asked, but she had already reached out her hand before you could even answer. You pulled back before her hand could touch you
“Oh, um no please don’t do that…” you awkwardly said and turned back around. You looked over at Gojo who you know heard everything but was undermining the situation yet again
Gojo: “Calm down she didn’t mean anything by it, go back to sleep.” He dismissed you, not even bothering to open his eyes as he still laid against the window. You let out a low scoff and laid back against your seat instead of Gojos shoulder like you were before
The next few minutes we’re quiet as you dozed back off until you heard a loud camera click and could hear the girl frantically trying to turn the volume down
Y/N: “Did you just take a picture of me?”
“Oh it wasn't a bad one I was just sending your hairstyle to my friend I think it’s cute.”
Y/N: “I don’t care. Don’t take a fucking picture of me if—
“I didn’t even touch you so calm the fuck down…this is why no body likes to compliment you people anyways. You take everything too goddamn seriously.” she muttered the last bit under her breath but still loud enough to pick up. This sentence being the one that finally caught Gojos attention
Gojo: “What was that?” He stood up towering over the young woman
“I-I didn’t say anyth— I’m s-sor—
Gojo: “Shut up. Delete it. Now.” His eyes pierced through her and she scrambled to reopen her camera and delete the photos. She flipped the phone towards his face to show that they were no longer in her folder
Gojo: “Now go to a different seat. And if you touch them against i’ll smash that stupid fucking phone into the fucking concrete.” The young woman ran from her seat to the other side of the train as quickly as possible and Gojo sat back down. He attempted to put his arm around you but you wanted no part in it, for the next 30 minutes you ignored every attempt he made to get a word out of you. Even on the walk home you were cold
Gojo: “Y/N if you don’t tell me what’s wrong I can’t fix it!” he said as you entered your apartment
Y/N: “IVE TOLD YOU WHATS WRONG BEFORE. YOU DONT LISTEN!” you yelled, something he rarely heard you do, “I told you countless times before that people trying to touch me is a reoccurring problem for me and what did you do? You belittled me and made it seem like no big deal. Why did it take someone being blatantly racist towards me for you to actually start caring? Why did I have to prove the problem to you?” He looked back at you with no words just a stunned expression as he struggled to find the right thing to say
Gojo: “I…I don’t know. I’m sorry.” you rolled your eyes at his lackluster reply and turned away to the bedroom
Y/N: “Whatever. I’m going to bed.”
Gojo: “Y/N, wait I—
you slammed the door in his face before he could finish his sentence
story belongs to @nonbinaryeggrolls

PLEASE tell me some of your favorite sandwiches...i work at a diner and i get one free sandwich per day and i almost always get the exact same thing. gimme something that will deeply bamboozle the kitchen staff
thank you for this ask. i am so sorry for the sandwich tangent that it inspired. this post is in fact so long that i have to put it under a read more tag so it doesn't reach Do You Love The Color Of The Sky notoriety. also this has been written as, like, a general cooking guide instead of Things You Can Order At A Diner, but otherwise feel free to show this post to your kitchen staff and watch their minds crumble
to build a great sandwich - a truly Fucked Up Sandwich - you must first understand that a sandwich is, at its core, just some bread with stuff on it. as a disclaimer, i don't mean to diss the classics. they're around for a reason. i just know that PERSONALLY i am a little bit sick of the same second grade lunchbox sandwich, and PERSONALLY i prefer to push the boundaries of simple food preparation into the realm of the eldritch and unknown.
the sandwiches i make are different every time. you may have heard the old adage "cooking is an art." that is partially true, sometimes, kind of. cooking, for me, is more like a four year old getting access to paint for the first time and losing their whole goddamn mind about it. i want you to let go of every rule you think there is. make things up. go crazy.
the bread of the sandwich matters only insofar as it can support its fillings. i tend to use plain ol whole wheat, but honestly, you can use whatever you'd like. my big piece of advice here is to think about the structural integrity of your design. much like a bread engineer, because that's what you are. if your fillings are wet or gelatinous (hold on, we're getting there) you NEED a crustier bread. sara lee won't cut it. some people like fancy bread with herbs and shit. i see the bread more as a canvas than as part of the painting, but like, there are no rules. go ham.
speaking of ham. this is the section where you expect me to disavow lunch meats. i shan't. pre-sliced meat is a brilliant (and cheap!) way to provide the basis of flavor for your sandwich AND to make sure you get enough protein. if you're vegan or vegetarian, you'll have to skip this step, but that's okay because it's not an integral part of the process. that being said, i think it lays a solid foundation for the whole sandwich's raison d'etre.
pairing with a good cheese is a classic for a reason. i stay away from american - it melts beautifully, which makes it great for grilled cheese, but it also has an artificial quality to it that i don't really vibe with. swiss, provolone, and cheddar are staples, but honest to god, any cheese can be made to work if you build around it. (side note: the best grilled cheese uses american, pepper jack, colby, and a tomato. season the OUTSIDE of the bread with butter, red pepper flakes, garlic, and a dash of oregano. fry up an egg and put it on top and oh baby. ham optional if you want some extra protein.)
ok. you have your basics. now i need you to take a look around your kitchen and GO WILD.
one of my Go To Combinations is turkey, swiss, and a fruit jam (i like apricot). it is EXTREMELY good and easy to make, and the jam gives it just the right touch of sweetness to complement to mellow flavor of the turkey. if you're like, "oh, wow, you put JAM? on a SANDWICH??? ARE YOU OK????" you need to stop reading right now. the shaggy-like combinations that i concoct may be too strong for you, traveler.
if you like sweet foods and want to lean into that, keep exploring Fruit Road. jams and preserves work wonders. fruit butters are also nice for a more savory touch, but can get expensive and/or seasonal. you can also go for Fruits themselves: thinly sliced apple + ham + brie (or swiss, if you can't swing a more expensive cheese) is a godsend. most fruits belong on a sandwich tbh. grapes, tangerines, bananas, pineapple: it's all about the right context.
if you want to go Even Further Beyond, Fruit Road takes you right down to Sweets Avenue. honey works on most sandwiches, and - hear me out - will cut the tangy, eggy flavor of mayonnaise. it's easy for honey to overpower, though, so i'd say to go for a little before tasting and reassessing. plain or vanilla yogurt also complements fruit really well without being overpowering. if you REALLY want to go sweet, i like marshmallow fluff + bananas + peanut butter for protein. i've yet to find good vegan alternates to these, unfortunately - agave nectar would work in place of honey, but play around and see what you can come up with.
if you want to go savory, then Aromatics Boulevard will make sure you get substance and flavor. basil is an underrated addition to sandwiches, as are green onions, garlic (jarlic works great for this, don't @ me), and cabinet spices. you might need to try a little to get the proportions right, but chicken + mozzarella + plain yogurt + curry powder is frankly a godsend. i also lovelovelove a good sauce; nando's perinaise is usually region-specific, but it's creamy and tangy and goes with everything and i'm obsessed with it. get creative with what you have!
ok. this is my secret ingredient. come here. lao gan ma is chili oil, but with chili crisps in it. it is the single best ingredient in my kitchen. it's not expensive, a jar of it lasts forever, and you can find it at almost every asian grocery store. it is the perfect kick of spice to add to a sandwich. plenty of heat but not overpowering, and with a mostly savory finish. god it's so good. i scoop it with a knife to avoid most of the oil and spread just the crisp over the sandwich. crunchy, spicy, savory. mamma mia.
those are the BASICS of what i can give you. if you've read this far and you actually make a Fucked Up Sandwich PLEASE tag me in it, because odds are i'll try it. be bold. make a potato salad + tangerine + tahini monstrosity. (i haven't tried that but maybe it's good???) anything is a sandwich if you're brave enough. if you're still looking for inspiration, i get a lot of ideas from traditional tea sandwiches, which are usually ~3 ingredients and can get absolutely hogwild.
if you want more specific recipes or combinations then reach out and i can send you a list, but i hope that this gave you the tools and confidence to go forth and wreak havoc. have fun stay safe eat sandwiches!
#anon i hope this was what you wanted#sorry this is a sandwich blog now i think#ask#anon#nat og#sandwich posting

In which I keep a promise to a bunch of people who read a fic five years ago and try to explain why I'm doing that now
In 2018, @vesperthine and I collaborated on run down till the rain delights you and when some people asked for more, we promised a sequel. That didn't happen.
Until now.
Now it's snaking its way to AO3 like an aging Toyota on cold Tromsø roads (I'm really sorry for this silliness but one of the inspo photos we used did this to me).
There's a bit of a backstory:
First of all, you have @nofeartina to blame for run down in the first place and @peacestew to blame for me sliding into the SKAM fandom in 2023 going "hiiii I haven't been in this fandom for years but here's a fic".
In 2018, Tina wanted fisherman!Isak in a knit woolen jumper* and somehow roped V into writing it, and then V somehow roped me into a collab (I'm still entirely unsure how I ended up saying yes), we brainstormed and looked for inspo and wrote some scenes** to see how it went. Fisherman!Isak turned into marine!biologist!Isak with an old fishing boat and a cabin, Even pretended to be suave, the Tromsø area piped up about wanting to be more of a character than a location and there we were:
Gif by @peacestew
It was so much fun writing with V, and we got along so well, so we wrote a short sequel quite soon after. It just needed a few final tweaks.
Then life happened.
Long story short, I haven't heard from Vesperthine since summer 2019. I hope she's happy and well, and I hope she's writing original fiction because she's seriously gifted, and I miss her because she's a very sweet and smart and lovely person. I was left with a nearly finished draft and a hope she'd turn up again. Since then I've turned down requests to translate and podfic run down, and disappointed a few people asking about the promised sequel, because it didn't feel at all right to make those decisions without V's input.
But it's been five years (!!!), I doubt I'll ever hear from her again, that draft is sitting there on my drive, and... so earlier this year I started thinking about just going ahead and posting it. I went through all our notes and figured out what remained to be done (not much, we even had the title ready), and decided to do those tweaks at some point.
Then Peace slid into my notes a while ago (it had been a few years since we were in touch, I love it when old mates show up), we chatted quite a bit and somehow mentioned run down, and I'm entirely unsure how this snowball started rolling but now we're doing an art + fic collab with that sequel. She's been terribly enabling, and dangling pretty gifs in front of me, how could I resist? She even made a gorgeous title gif for run down. V would have been just as happy with this, I'm sure.
Considering that the sequel was just about finished, and V and I never had any actual disagreements while writing (one tiny scuffle about adjectives, we compromised), I think she'd be okay having her name put on the sequel. And I am okay with making that decision, since it's been so long. I've done the final editing, Peace has added her lovely gifs and now I'm just going to work up the courage to post it.
As stupid as I feel giving directions for fic reading I recommend you read (or re-read, bless everyone who has read it) run down till the rain delights you first, I'm not sure the sequel will make much sense otherwise.
the roll of the harbour wake is coming soon to a fic archive near you. Peace and I hope you will enjoy it.
Gif by @peacestew
*the fic was almost immediately nicknamed The sweater fetish fic. Drooling over the guys in knit woolen jumpers kept happening for ages.
**the first scene we wrote didn't actually make it to run down, but we put it in harbour wake, and it goes to show that sometimes a fic takes a very different direction from where you start it.

☕︎ DAIYA NO ACE & READER : CAFÉ DATE EDITION !
"i'll take you to my favourite café!" he suggests - so where will he end up taking you and what will you be doing?
modern café ✣ people watching
"no, he's definitely the type to join a crypto pyramid scheme." you drawl, the man beside you snickering at your comment. "like, the kind to have 'sigma grindset' in his bio unironically, right?" the two of your burst into laughter, and you continue, "it was the vest for me, i think. nobody else wears those kinds in the summer except for matching old couples."
the waitress passes by your table at the window, placing down your drinks and pastries as you give her a sweet thanks. the chocolate is practically melting off your fresh croissant, making you drool. "here, try my drink. it's a taro latté." your date pushes the purple concoction toward you, which you gladly take.
"y'know, it's really easy talking to you. interesting, too." you muse, watching for his reaction. it's a small nod and a breathy laugh - he's shyer about compliments than you expected - but the crinkle in his eyes shows he must appreciate it.
hours pass in the blink of an eye, talking about anything and everything so effortlessly - so much that by the time it's over, you're both already planning your second date.
these observant, analytical baseball players will enjoy an unusual but easy-going date where they get to find out more about you.
➤ miyuki kazuya, watanabe hisashi, kominato ryosuke, takigawa chris yu
themed café ✣ taking cute pictures
"did you see this latté art? it's so good!" you stare in awe at the details of your favourite cartoon character painted onto the drink in front of you. your date's parfait looks quite tasty too, and he feeds you some of it off his spoon.
he even treats you to some merch from the shop, including matching plushies and a keychain, absolutely spoiling you before signalling the mascot over and an employee to take a picture of you.
after some cute (and some silly) shots, he thanks the staff and fiddles with his phone. "there!" he beams proudly, setting one of the pictures as his new lock screen.
"aw, you're almost as adorable as our big, plushy friend in the middle there!" you give him a quick kiss on the cheek, to wish he blushes - now that's something you'd want to get on camera.
for these adorable, sometimes-hyperactive guys, a themed café is the perfect place to spark conversation, eat yummy food, and enjoy an upbeat atmosphere.
➤ narumiya mei, todoroki raichi, umemiya seiichi, sawamura eijun
french café ✣ pastry tasting
"i'm not sure about asparagus macarons, but the lemon chiffon ones do sound tasty..." you tilt your head at the menu as the boy across from you watches intently at your every gesture. the way your cheek squishes on your hand when you lean on it, the upturn of your eyebrow, the small pout of indecision that makes its way to your face...
"cute..." he muses, only aware that he's accidentally said that out loud after you a giggle escapes you. he turns as red as the strawberries on the fraisier sitting in front of you, murmuring out an apology.
"nothing to apologize for. that's really sweet of you," you wink, bringing a finger to flick his nose at the pun. though he's still a bit embarrassed, you've loosened him up enough to get a small smile out of him. "now, how about these pistachio and orange éclairs?"
"order whatever you want..." he hums contentedly, "it's my treat, after all."
a simple date but with a fun twist for some of the more classic, romantic men in the bunch that love to spoil you.
➤ isashiki jun, shirakawa katsuyuki, furuya satoru, yuki tetsuya
beach café ✣ brunch & drinks
"so - mimosas or sangria this morning?" you ask - the menu features a selection of typical drinks but infused with fruits you've never heard of, their entrées similar.
"what about, like, when they put alcohol in coffee? kind of need my caffeine this morning..." he ponders. not a bad idea, but with the fresh sea breeze flooding your senses, you feel the need to opt for something tropical.
when you've finally made your decisions and later receive platters abundant with colour and tantalizing smells, you inquire, "so? what are these plans you've got for us the rest of the day that you're so excited to tell me about?"
"i was thinking of checking the boardwalk out. there's an area for dogs along the path that we can see, and maybe check out the little market at the end. if you want to, of course."
you agree eagerly, noting the sparkle in his eyes as he describes your day to come - and with him and his handsome smile by your side, you know it's sure to be a fun one.
something a bit more unique and adventurous for this fun-loving group - driving out to a beach for good eats and going for a nice boardwalk stroll and splashing in the water afterwards.
➤ sanada shunpei, kamiya carlos toshiki, amahisa kosei, kuramochi yoichi
off-the-wall café ✣ study date
someone walking down a car-free cobblestone road covered by the shade of blooming trees might see you and your date sipping italian sodas if they looked through the window of a hidden, cozy café with ivy on its walls. books, paper, and your laptop are spread out in front of you - but something catches your eye instead as you chew on the end of your pen.
"y'know, those board games over there are tempting me."
your date shoots you a shy smile, "i was thinking that too. nothing wrong with a small break, right?"
a "small break" turns into an afternoon of both competition and cooperation in the array of games you play, getting lost in each others' company. his face goes red after an accidental brush of your hand during a particularly intense game of connect four - how adorable.
by the time the sun is setting, you've both accepted that no more work is getting done today. after all, who'd want to study instead of having fun with the amazing guy in front of you?
a thoughtful and quaint date for the more quiet and reserved boys of daiya - a low-pressure date where you can still have fun and get to know each other.
➤ kominato haruichi, hideaki tojo, kawakami norifumi, okumura koshu
let me know if i missed anyone you want to see next time! love doing these mini-moodboard kind of drabbles. doing multiple characters is something i've seen as well and wanted to experiment with!

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person in the world who still remembers and loves CDs. Vinyl records have made a comeback and are now considered cool among certain varieties of hipster and audiophile, but CDs haven't had the same treatment.
And like, to some extent, I kinda understand that. CDs aren't cool. Records are cool. They're big and textured and elegant and they're objectively old enough to feel vintage rather than dated. They're not exactly durable but they make up for their fragility with their other positive qualities, and you could certainly argue that warping and scratches add exactly the kind of character to a record that we've lost with digital music and therefore crave from physical media. A slightly damaged CD pretty much always just becomes totally unplayable.
So I get it. And I'll readily admit that the biggest reason why I like CDs is simply that I grew up with them and have fond memories of them. But I do also think it's objectively true that there are certain positive features unique to CDs. I will never tire of the experience of giving and receiving mix CDs. You can't do that with a record. (I mean, I don't think you can? Not easily, at any rate.) And it's not the same as a playlist! It's not the same. When you make a mix CD, you not only curate the music for the recipient, you burn the disc, you decorate it, you make the sleeve or pick the jewel case and make the paper insert for it, figure out how to wrap/package it. I mean, obviously you don't have to do all of these things, but the opportunity is there for a lot of creativity and love. And in the end the person gets both the physical object as well as being able to make digital copies of the songs on their computer (which also allows them to use those songs in their future mix CDs, continuing the cycle!).
The mix CD is just so unpretentious, wholesome, and kind. It gave the average person unprecedented power over how music was curated and shared. (I mean, of course mix tapes did something similar, and maybe they deserve more credit than I give them, simply because they're from before my time; but I kind of have to assume that CD mixing is a much simpler and more efficient process.) The mix CD creates a loving context for experiencing music. Here, I made this! Special from me, for you! I think context is one of the things which we most desperately miss in this modern age, where we're fed our newest songs by the goddamn algorithm (whether that's Spotify, TikTok, YouTube, or whatever). The mix CD is personal, human, earnest and sweet.
(And yes, to some extent, playlists do this as well, and they have their own advantages. But I think the shareability of playlists, while making it possible for many more people to experience your creation, has ended up discouraging the intimate act of making something just for one other person and instead promotes the idea that what is most desirable is to have your work seen by the greatest possible number of people.)
I started thinking about this because I saw another post talking about the removal of CD/DVD drives from computers and it really does make me sad thinking that this may be the final nail in the coffin of the mix CD. I've had to depend on external disc drives to make my mixes, and I'm sure that for most people, CDs have passed totally out of their awareness.
I'm not saying the mix CD is the end all be all of sharing music. There are already lots of other ways to share music and I would quite like to think that we will continue to invent new ways. But I do find it very sad that the art of the mix CD is dying, and while the mix CD itself may be doomed, I really hope that we don't forget its virtues, and find a way to keep the spirit of the thing alive. Physical object as well as digital copies that can be shared with others, permanent ownership of the music (rather than just streaming/renting), the burning and reading of this object being cheap and accessible, personal touch/high customizability (not being limited simply to song order, a single cover image, and a short description), intimacy. These are what I don't want to lose.

Bug Headcanons! (I'm showing love to a few more listeners before we circle back around to actual characters)
First Headcanon, Don't know why but I like to imagine Bug was at one point a cheerleader (and they still have some trophies from back in the day though they originally didn't have them out, When Bug moved in with Gage, he encouraged them to put their trophies on display…)
Second Headcanon, (this one is more about my mental image of Bug but...) I totally imagine Bug really likes wearing sweaters and sweater dresses... (I like to imagine that Bug likes the feeling of the sleeves covering their hands... speaking of which…)
Third Headcanon, (so I typically give listener characters a way of fidgeting/stimming because of I usually fidget/stim a lot.. soo...) I totally imagine Bug does that sort of fidget where they trace the lines on someone's hand (usually Gage's hand...) it tends to distract them for a while.. it also helps to calm them down... (if they don't do that to calm themselves down, they will nervously bounce their leg... which people tend to take as a sign that Bug is impatient but in reality, they're just nervous... and sometimes they don't even realize that they're bouncing their leg...)
Fourth Headcanon, (sorta also a Gage Headcanon.. but...) I totally imagine when Bug is either nervous or sad and Gage notices, he will just quietly placed his hand on top of theirs... (I imagine Bug does the same thing when Gage is either nervous or sad... it's a small gesture that means a lot to them both)
Fifth Headcanon, (sorta a Headcanon for the other listeners as well... but...) I totally imagine Bug and Darling do nights out sorta frequently and occasionally they invite Sweets and Newbie/Love to join... (Since Darling used to drop off Gage's lunch, I imagine they know Newbie/Love a bit and Newbie/Love knows Sweets a bit because of Law and Desmond...)
Sixth Headcanon, Bug's family definitely was the type of family who had a lot of dogs when Bug was growing up (big, small and even medium sized dogs...) but despite that I think Bug is more of a person who likes Birds and Ferrets... (specifically white birds like doves or Snowy owls...)
Seventh Headcanon, Bug definitely had older brothers (i like to imagine they had two older brothers, one went off and became a designer while the other has a little family of his own... so far he has one daughter and he has one baby boy on the way... I like to imagine Bug's niece is around Nat's age... though because of this, Bug doesn't see their brothers as much as they wish they could... speaking of which...)
Eighth Headcanon, (slightly also a Darling Headcanon... but...) I like to imagine that Bug sees Darling somewhat as a older sibling and Darling sees Bug somewhat as a younger sibling...
Ninth Headcanon, (this is slightly inspired by the art usually featured in Gage's videos.. but...) I totally imagine Bug likes string/fairy lights (especially the string/fairy lights that look like different things (for example, skulls, snowflakes and etc..)
Tenth Headcanon, (I just thought this one was really cute.. but..) I totally imagine Bug has a old rag doll still from back when they were little (its the type of rag doll that's completely made from fabric, somehow it has survived this long.. sure its slightly dirty but it ain't ripped anywhere..)
Small bonus Bug Headcanon, (because this one was also quite cute) because of Gage, I totally imagine when Bug gives someone a gift nowadays, its usually made by Bug themselves..
#reverie audios#Bug#Slight Gage#Tiny bit of the other listeners#I'm not crying because of a sad headcanon#I'm crying because of how cute these are ;-;

Hello LU fandom! I’ve decided I want to spread a little positivity, so if you feel inclined, comment or reblog this post with some of your favorite art or fics from this fandom! Everyone here is so incredibly talented, and I want to give people a chance to share their favorite things with others :D
For me, it’s Down, Afterlorn, How To Kill A God, Decision, and Malevolence for fics!
Down is a good old sickfic, but with even more feels, and I still go back and reread it sometimes :), it’s written by RokettoMusashi or @musashi
Afterlorn is a Twi-centric 8+1! It’s very similar to The Goodest of All Good Boys, which is also amazing! The hurt/comfort it impeccable!! Afterlorn is by Raylin Shire or @raeraesmentality, and Goodest is by Twilight_Shadows
How to Kill A God is a thrilling murder mystery, and yet again, it’s Twi-centric, because he’s my fave :) the twists of this fic were unreal in the best way possible! It’s by Glau
Decision is a little darker and gorier, but it’s got good Warriors and Twi content, and I love the spine-chilling opening scene, it’s written by Ayngondaia or @ayngondaia
Malevolence deals with the concept of Malice possessing one of the Heroes, and oh my goodness it is just so well executed. It’s so good, and it’s written by theScrap_Witch or @thescrapwitch
Quick edit: I forgot about What Hyrule Hadn’t Seen! It’s by sky_squido or @squidos-goodies, and is one of the only fics I’ve ever read that made me cry, and the sweet moments between Legend and the other Heroes are just perfect :)))
My favorite art pieces are below the cut!
This stunning art of the hero’s eyes! The color and shine is beautiful! It’s by @polygenderroulette
This of Twi post-Sunset (and its companion!) it’s heartbreaking and beautiful, and the companion makes me smile :) by @socialc1imb
This Twi art, the perspective is awesome and what can I say, I really like Twilight, and this one’s by @saweewa
Please comment or reblog with your favorite fics/art/animations/anything from this fandom! Everyone here is so talented and I think we should show that a little more!

Continuing my Fankids train by sharing the next trio!!
Beck, Vira and Kiyomi!!! Probably some of the ones who have the most obvious parents
Before they met Hex, it was these three hiding out in Beck's dads shed (that Beck had claimed as his home, and was fully fitted out to be his shack). They've known each other for a while, and are very solid friends when they meet Hex, who proceeds to flip their quiet, nice lives inside out.
Kiyomi is the one who watches the chaos unfold, Beck is the protective one who panics before taking action, and Vira is the one climbing up the tree because she thinks she saw a cool bird or something (its an excuse, she just wanted to climb the tree).
Vira and Beck had met because they both share a demon lineage. They had known each other a little in the past, but now had reunited and are buds. They met Kiyomi when she just.. kind of showed up one day and they took her in. The same thing would happen with Hex later on too.
Vira originally wanted to be an Addison, selling knockoff and mildly scammy products. She met another Addison (they were a nice minty colour and i low key want to make art of them) and sort of fell for them, but some of Spamton's old friends realised who she was (and also recognised her resemblance to Jevil), and ratted her out. She quickly left Cyber City, and would go and stay with Beck for a while... which turned into longer than that.
Kiyomi is very unaware of her origins. But I am... because I made her origins. As a last attempt to preserve something from the Literature Club, and prevent the total deletion, Monika threw together parts of hers and the other Dokis codes, unintentionally creating Kiyomi, who was immediately ejected into Beck's world, where she would stay too. Sometimes, Kiyomi dreams of living in the club room with people she doesn't recognise, but she can feel their love for her through those dreams.
I dont completely have Beck's backstory figured out, but at one point he had visited the Old Studio out of curiosity for his dads past. He learnt about the things that had happened there, and of people he'd never even met before. While there, he meets Angelica (more about her potentially... i dont have a design for her lol) and she had also gone there to learn about her mother (spoiler; its' Alice).
Other things!!
Beck and Hex are together!!! They really hit it off, and are kind of inseparable and clingy to each other. I keep thinking about some kind of soulmate bond between them, which literally connects them but I want to think of the details before i go for it lol
Niko and Beck also end up getting along too. Beck thinks Niko is a sweet guy, and he thinks Beck is a gentle giant (which he is)
I originally named Beck, Hex and Kiyomi "Horror Trio", but it kind of expanded into a bigger group and i dont use it.. but id like to lol
#outing myself on tumblr as a bendymouse shipper#i just think its nice#and also i follow someone on Instagram and their art has convinced me to ship them harder#i also dont reaaaally ship the Dokis together... but i have thought about the potential of it#and Spamvil slaps. thats all.#doki doki literature club#monika ddlc#bendy and the dark revival#bendymouse#deltarune jevil#deltarune spamton#spamvil

hello !! yet another different anon, but just wanted to share this while we’re on the topic of self-criticism - hopefully this doesn’t come off as patronizing, it’s just smth i’ve found helps me as an artist and hopefully it’ll help u :D
i think it’s rlly important to view old art more from the perspective of the feelings u had making it rather than the actual content of the art itself. sure, ur artistic skills have improved a lot over the years, and maybe when ur looking back at ur older work u see a lot of flaws in it - weird anatomy, bad lighting, articles of clothing that don’t make sense, etc (not saying ur old art has any of these i’m just listing examples i’ve had in my own lol) - but u had fun making it !! it’s a drawing of something u loved and still love, and it served its purpose as an outlet to express that love. when people go back and like those old drawings, they’re not seeing it for its flaws - they’re seeing it for the love it represents, a love they probably feel themselves. while it’s good to critique ur own work to some extent for the sake of improvement, people liking ur old stuff is far from cringe-worthy! it’s just someone enjoying something u once enjoyed too, like an internet happiness hand-me-down :)
again, this sort of mindset has rlly helped me personally - i don’t feel as nervous about drawing or posting, bc im just having fun !! it’s ok if it’s kind of janky or has weird details, it was made with love and people can see and appreciate that. nobody ever stops improving or seeing flaws in their work, so its best to focus more on the joy it gave u and push urself towards improvement with the promise of even more joy rather than forcing urself to improve under the threat of feeling ashamed of ur creations
hopefully all of this makes sense i kind of have the shakes rn lol. sorry for the super long ask, i just dont rlly know how to explain all of this in a short way-
hope u are having a fantastic day full of pretty girls !!!!
omg no worries at all!! your message read as very sweet so please dont stress urself out over how u came across!!
AND I DEFINITELY AGREE!! tbh its a mindset i tend to have, but i think where ive lacked is definitely in applying the "im just doing it for fun" logic to past me. i tend to be someone who very much lives in the present and have a bit of a disconnect both from the past and the future, and this can cause me to totally disregard everything about my past self and past work LOL. so honestly having all this put into words has kinda been an "OHH RIGHT" moment for me KASJHFJAHSDKJ
theres also the factor of my audience being bigger now........ im not really someone who likes having alot of eyes on me for various reasons, which sometimes causes me to waver a bit AKJSHFKJH THOUGH ITS NOT THAT BAD. i think most of my shyness comes from having artists i really admire now see my art and im like "FUCK IC ANT HAVE IT LOOK BAD WHAT IF THEY SEE" which can cause me to overthink things But also i tend to forget that those people even follow me 80% of the time. tbh all of my "insecurities" in regards to my art are purely circumstantial and only really present themselves if im in a flustered state, but a large portion of the time im just chilling KJAHSFJKHK
i do also wanna say tho that i think the viewing all art as coming from a place of love sentiment is very sweet........ esp bc in the beginning one of the compliments i got the most was along the lines of "your love for the characters really shines through!!" so to think that, in spite of potential quality, that love is still visibly present makes me very happy.......... Perhaps if u have genuine love for what u do itll shine through no matter what

Don't listen to that anon you work things at your own pace. This is your blog and your creations and some rando going WHAT ABOUT MEEEE anonymously with absolutely 0 hint of self awareness is beyond rude of themelves. This is a personal rp blog not some public service. I'm so sorry.
(( Thank you. This really does mean a lot. It took me a while to respond as I just felt terrible about it for a while... ))
[Big post beneath the cut]
My health- mental and physical, really has not been the best over the past while... especially after having a bad seizure physically and after an incident I'm still not fully recovered from mentally with some people- which did mess up the blog actually as they purposefully erased my notes for all my character writing.
I've managed to recover some of my personal notes recently. I'm at a point though where I WOULD like to restart this blog for sweet boy N, and also I'd like to have some moments where my BADEND!AU boy Naal sometimes drops in, now that he's become very well developed as a distinct character. (Maybe losing his original notes actually helped him, his first iteration makes me cringe LOL)
The last thing I wanted to ever do though was make anyone sad. Life's so very short- I want to bring people joy. Even if its through little things like character blogs, art of someone's favorite character or a pokemon or just something that makes them smile... or a story they can gripped into and look forward to to distract them from the harsh world we live in these days. I think tumblr did eat some of those asks, though my chaotic life also threw off response time a lot as well. [ᴵ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵇᵉˢᵗ ˡᶦᵛᶦⁿᵍ ˢᶦᵗᵘᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ, ᵃⁿᵈ ᶠᵒʳ ᵃ ʷʰᶦˡᵉ ʷᵃˢ ⁿᵒᵗ ᶦⁿ ᵃ ᵍᵒᵒᵈ ʷᵒʳᵏ ˢᶦᵗᵘᵃᵗᶦᵒⁿ ᵉᶦᵗʰᵉʳ. ᴬᶠᵗᵉʳ ᵇᵉᶦⁿᵍ ᵃˢˢᵃᵘˡᵗᵉᵈ ᵒⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ʲᵒᵇ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵇᵉᶦⁿᵍ ᵖᵘⁿᶦˢʰᵉᵈ ᶠᵒʳ ᶦᵗ ⁽ᴬ ᴴᵁᴳᴱ ᵂᵀᶠ ᴵ ᴷᴺᴼᵂ ᴿᴵᴳᴴᵀ⁾ ᴵ ʳᵉᵃˡᶦᶻᵉᵈ ʰᵒ�� ᵇᵃᵈ ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ, ᵗʰᵉ ˢᵗʳᵉˢˢ ᵃᶜᵗᵘᵃˡˡʸ ᵗᵃᵏᶦⁿᵍ ˢᵘᶜʰ ᵃ ᵗᵒˡˡ ᵒⁿ ᵐʸ ᵇᵒᵈʸ ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ᵖʰʸˢᶦᶜᵃˡˡʸ ᵛᶦˢᶦᵇˡᵉ, ᵃⁿᵈ ᵃᶠᵗᵉʳ ᵇᵉᶦⁿᵍ ᵗᵒˡᵈ ᵇʸ ᵐᵃⁿᵃᵍᵉᵐᵉⁿᵗ ᴵ ᵃᵐ "ᵃ ᵖᵉʳˢᵒⁿ ʷᶦᵗʰᵒᵘᵗ ᵃⁿʸ ᵘˢᵉ ᵗᵒ ᵃⁿʸᵒⁿᵉ" ᵃⁿʸʷᵃʸ, ᴵ ᵖᵒˡᶦᵗᵉˡʸ ʳᵉˢᶦᵍⁿᵉᵈ. ᵀʰᵉʸ'ᵈ ʰᵃᵛᵉ ᶠᶦʳᵉᵈ ᵐᵉ ᶦᶠ ᵗʰᵉʸ ᶠᵒᵘⁿᵈ ᵒᵘᵗ ᴵ'ᵐ ᵗʳᵃⁿˢ ᵃⁿʸʷᵃʸ. ʸᵉᵃʰ. ᴼⁿᵉ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵒˢᵉ ʰᵉˡˡᶻᵒⁿᵉˢ.]
I'm thankful anyhow, so very much so, for those following this blog, following ALL my blogs, character driven ones or not- I'm so thankful.
My body gives me pain most days, but... I'm glad I'm still here. I'm trying to turn things back around for myself and just be alive again. Do fun things. Make people smile. Create. Find joy IN creation.
So hey. Let's get N's blog going again, how about that? I'd like to that, and I'd think other's would too. I'll hold on to some of the asks that are still in the inbox and still answer them too, but if you'd like to send him anything, I think I'll just redo him an intro post like I did for @grimsleys-gambit - clean up some old stuff here and there, and we'll start him up again from there before I start kicking off any plot on his blog.

2023 fic roundup
2023 was the year of the comeback. in 2021, i wrote about 25k; in 2022, i didn't even keep track. meanwhile, my total wordcount last year was 119,226 words. while that doesn't come close to my 200k from 2020, i am arguably prouder of last year and what it represented. my writing isn't dead! my abilities haven't vanished! i can have fun making art again :D
as always, the summer was the most productive for me. you can see that i wrote more in the spring than the fall -- this roughly corresponds to how i was doing during those times, lol. i had a Much Better spring semester than the fall. september was very rough, i had a very bad time, and it meant my mental health suffered for the rest of the year. but hey, at least i was writing essays :')
some more scattered thoughts:
i was arguably pretty consistent this year? may/june/july all had about the same wordcount (roughly) and i think that's cool. my goal isn't to be doing NaNos, it's to be writing consistently, so i'm very happy with this
ao3 says i published 67k in 2023. minus the first chapter of something out of a dream, which was published in 2020, i believe that's 65k or so total. i wrote 72k of fanfic last year, meaning that there's about 8k from last year still sitting in my google drive (a rough eyeball at my WIPs folder confirms this). these numbers don't QUITE make sense to me, since i used a fair bit of old material in what i published last year, but i'm not going to think about it too hard
i published fic for a whopping fifteen fandoms in 2023. nine of those were fandoms i'd never published anything for before! i am so, so proud of this stat. i remain multifandom as all hell and seeing that represented in my work makes me really :D
two fics -- be amazed by the sky and i got your back (and you got mine) -- were crossovers! i'd only ever written one crossover before (stay all day in the sun, which i still love dearly) and it was fun to play in these playgrounds (mostly by sticking the librarians into other universes, xD)
i published 25 fics last year! and five of those fics were less than 1k, which i also really love. this year i really tried to let go of my idea that my fics Had to be more than 4k (and super polished) before they could see the light of day. i think my writing has been more fun and less stressful because of that.
i polished off 4 multi-year WIPs last year: but the verse is sweet, something out of a dream, don't wanna see you go (but it's not forever), and all we can do today. it felt so, so good to finally get those out there. the only one i have left from The Great Hiatus of 2021-2022 is éponine de bergerac. i will finish that someday, but i'm letting her take her time, because she deserves it. (i DID make good progress on that fic, which is something at least!)
most popular fic of the year was sit there in your heartache, which. is a spirk fic written right after a relevant episode, so not a surprise lol. the fic that surprised me most is actually the sisterhood of the travelling main character plotpoints -- i kinda expected that one to vanish quietly, but the hatchetfield fandom is WAY more active than i expected! which is very cool :D
the fic with the fewest hits was sidenote, which doesn't surprise me, since the librarians isn't a very active fandom and it's a rareship within the fandom anyway. the people who DID read it were very sweet, so i am very grateful for them. (i'm doing fic with the fewest hits because i feel like it's better to focus on that than What Didn't Get Kudos)
i started 2024 with 5 WIPs. i actually already finished one (and then immediately started its sequel, whoops) (shoutout to the ds9 modern au, i'll make a real post about that sometime). none of these fics are particularly progressed, but i'll keep working on them and try to find the Finishing A Project Dopamine from ficlets if i need it.
i didn't really have any Writing Goals for 2023 aside from doing any writing at all, lol. i think for 2024 i want to try to get more consistent with my writing -- instead of doing x number of words per month (which usually happen over 3-4 Big Writing Days), i'd rather try to write for 5 days out of every week, or something like that. we'll see what i can get done.
in the meantime: thank you guys for listening. i'm proud of what i did last year, and i'm excited to see what happens next year :D

More rambles under the cut off
You've unlocked the extra rambles! congrats! Im so sorry as this may just be incomprehensible
first of all Hi! Im birdy, 24 years old, a black trans animator from the netherlands. I do da drawing and da makin of da gaymes. I stream on twitch you are always free to reach out to me here in DM's or else on discord The-Nerdy-Birdy#0918 <- JUST BE AWARE I was terrible social anxiety and I may be slow to respond THAT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU PLEASE KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU Im just silly :3 and have my moments. I promise ya tho I love to talk and ramble.
WITH THAT OUTTA THE WAY
MY BOI OH HOW I LOVE HIM SO HE CAN SOMETIMES BE A BIT OF A BITCH AND I AM SORRY. HE CAN BE MEAN. ITS JUST A CHARACTER THOUGH BUT IF I EVER GO TOO FAR LET ME KNOW PLEASE I DONT WANNA HURT NOBODY
anyways, quick summary about jackie.
Jackie went through a lot in his living years! going through the 50s to the 80s as a black man in the uk certainly was something! He used to be a genuine sweet and caring kid and now he still cares but hes very jaded by the world. He used to be part of the british black panther party and he has many opinions bout stuff and politics! but he has quited down quite a bit after his embrace.
he has a bit of a shortfuse cuz folk keep threathening him and hurting him so he is quite defensive. sadly he does not have the brains to see yet that he himself also hurts people and he should be a bit nicer to folk sometimes!
He cares tons about his friends and those who he considers fam. he does not enjoy seeing folk get hurt but.... if push comes to shove he will always choose himself. hes all he has. and all he can rely on and nobody is worth destroying himself over. atleast he'd like to think that. he does however often finds himself choosing his friends over himself and he hates it.
EHHHH FASHION WISE. He basically runs a GIANT company called SALMON which both makes ready to wear as haute couture. he is not the sole designer of it al. but he is most well known. he is a bit of a control freak with his company (not much better outside it either) so he will pick up more work than he should resulting in him always stressing about something.
he has many other companies also and a whole buncha other lore PLEASE ASK ME BOUT ME BOI HE IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD AND HE MEANS A LOT TO ME.
EHHH IDK WAT ELSE TO ADD SO U GET SMALL FUN FACTS!
Jackie is terrified of moths
his handwriting is actually a perfect typewriter font
he is really good at math! unlike me!
cant see shit without his glasses
was part of the british black panther movement
HIS FEEDING RESTRICTION IS FOR ME TO KNOW AND YOU TO FIGURE OUT TEEHEE
He wishes to become prince someday
fave color is salmon of course.
HAVE SOME MORE ART OF HIM ALSO
HIS COTERIE BTW HOW COULD I FORGET! He is actually from a still active chronicle! though I most things on dash arent like canon lol In order the characters are: Tommy Riley Jackie Ada and Chris. they all hate each other and they has an awful time together :)
#long post#ooc#because i litterally cannot stfu#cuz im silly :3 and I love my boi a lot#IM ALSO SORRY AS I DIDNT SPELL CHECK IT AND I HAVE SCATTERBRAIN SO THIS MAY NOT EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL#I AM LITTERALLY SO SORRY FOR ANYONE WHO DECIDES TO READ THIS

op you are SO right about the freaking shizumafu event because i am rotating them they are just so,,!!! like even if its just a set up, mafuyu getting support outside from n25 is just a huge step!!! more people for more support for mafuyu and man she deserves it and im so glad you brought it up because im literally going to cry im sorry for bursting into your ask like this i just think you are so cool???
if you dont mind i do wonder what your favorite event is in prjsk and why!!!
so first don't apologise for coming to ramble about story with me, it's one of my fave activities XD as evinced by the rambling i threw out already. and YES this is a writer's hunch but i think shizuku and emu will likely be a big safety component as mafu-mom pokes more into mafuyu's 'friend' at school, which she hasn't. actually really had before, before this. so this is actually a highly critical event IMO, on that front.
and like. what parent wouldn't be somewhat reassured by their child having a friend as earnestly and openly caring as shizuku? even if she'll probably be a little critical of throwing away the 'stability' of being an agency idol for being independent (yes im writing a ficlet on this and am full of thoughts).
and god do i have to just pick one?? i'll give a selection lol.
kamikou festival because it was such a nice little sight into mizuki at school, and how an and rui are just, so important for them feeling connected, and how things have changed for them? an bothering to reach out to say 'hey no one's going to be staring at you so it should be all good to come' was just. so kind.
secret distance holds a special place in my heart for mizuan interactions in card, mizuena overall, and being my first proper psekai event, i started the game when it was first done in jp. the writing really is what reeled me in.
let me know your worries picnic shizuai/mizuena double date?? shizuai mizuena double date. also showing how ena just cares so much and mizuki does too. god.
summer festival i have a soft spot for cause we really get to see for all they are def the most nippy siblings, the shinonome sibs really get each other.
two moon rabbits. god, so, fun fact, sometimes to go to sleep i just put on this event to listen to while i drift off. seeing how shizuku has just always looked out for shiho and really does know her so well? just maximum consideration. i die.
Both anni events are just so good for the mingling and the show of how everyone's drawing closer? and gosh. the kanamafu piano duet.
Footprints. I don't think I need to double this post length, so let's just say I t500'd global and mizuki aching over just having even a little more time killed me.
the events with ena facing her art fully, and her growth with honaemu (paint what you like), and mafuyu (this wish will reach the dawn)? also have nudged me back into vis art. god i love the stories.
cherry blossom event hinting at an intergroup sekai has me chomping.
wishing you happiness: holy shit hinomoris can be so gender.
vivid old tale: combined w the marriage event, it's sweet to see how an admires mature ladies. and funny lol i HC mizuki def teases her
no seek no find: i have to shout out saki's VA for absolutely wrecking people with the sheer heartbroken frustration she conveyed, for when saki was just, at her lowest at not being able to do anything she really wanted.
tying the ribbon: mizuki is def one of my fave kids so seeing them have such a good relationship with their family, their sister, and how their sister convinced them to try music... man. i really hope she gets an l2d sometime.
wolf forest: hinomoris can be so gender. i also really enjoyed shiho marvelling at an's fitness, and the area talk with an just accepting shiho likes cute stuff.
beyond that day's dream: baby harukaaaaa!! also more context on why haruka wants so badly to talk to her idol in her fes card. delish.
lol basically i have a baseline appreciation for 99% of psekai's writing but these were some fave times
#also thanks for calling me cool fdsjklfjs i ramble about story a lot so it's nice to hear someone enjoys#anonymous#war replies#project sekai

ok making an official guide to juzo itami's filmography <3
with itami, you will get beautiful humanist movies about the beauty of love and life and human connections but done in a format that is typically associated with made for TV movies with like silliness, and most of the time a lot of tackiness. also a lot of sex or sexual undertones (he was mentored by nagisa oshima) + political commentary (on people from the government, yakuzas and so on) but still in that weirdly elevated lifetime movie style (which works so well obviously). so like overall serious subjects but dealt with the codes of popular entertainment (cop movies, westerns, comedies and even erotic films kinda). also one thing to note is his amazing sense of visuals, you can count on him to always have amazing and very fun costumes and interiors. ok starting the guide now 😁😁😁😁💋💋💋💋💋
1 - the funeral (1984)
movie about funerals and grief and fucking raw in the forest. actually the best depiction of funerals ive ever seen as in a very solemn moment cohabiting with the most simple and stupid daily events of life in a very touching way. starring his wife nobuko miyamoto and tsutomu yamazaki, another one of his main actor
2 - tampopo (1985)
gorgeous gorgeous movie about food and love and how both of these notions intertwine. probably his most famous movie, not my favorite but still an amazing film. starring the same girlies from the funeral because itami is going to work with the same actors for all of his life !
3 - a taxing woman (1987)
a movie about tax evasion with nobuko starring as a tax investigator!!!!!! one of these itami movie where the line is kind of blurred and it really is a fun little cop movie but still insanely fresh and charming. again nobuko miyamoto and tsutomu yamazaki being great as a duo + amazing cigarette acting and fendi glasses
4 - a taxing woman 2 (1988)
not as good and emotional as the first one but still fun. can't really remember honestly but the entire movie is about a religious cult and the amoral antics of their leader which is kind of a daring thing to do. nobuko gets a little twink advisor working under her and itami's third main darling masahiko tsugawa gets a bigger role
5 - tales of golden geisha (1990)
so bad 😭 do not waste your time. gay scandals at the bank, nobuko girlbossing it up with a buddhist bishop and a geriatric gouvernement official with an eye-patch. very big turkish soap energy not in a good way
6 - minbo : the gentle art of japanese extortion (1992)
another movie about scamming and plotting, this time starring yakuzas!!!!!!!! this movie got him killed and it's not even good BUT we get introduced to sexy sexy takehiro murata and nobuko gets to slay in her 80s yuppie looks
7 - a quiet life (1995)
kind of a departure for itami because this movie is about two siblings in the countryside figuring out life on their own while the adults around them struggle to do the same. sometimes very sweet, sometimes very clumsy. nobuko miyamoto has a small part and stuns very hard. overall a weird humanist movie with its itami true crime podcaster moments
8 - supermarket woman (1996)
very cute film about hope and standing up together as a community, very sweet comedy where we get to see nobuko miyamoto shining for the 1000th time with her little bowl cut. very good intro to his filmography in my opinion!!! highly recommend this movie and i think it should be shown all around the world because its such a beautiful universal little comedy
9 - woman in witness protection (1997)
🚨 LEÏLA'S FAVORITE ITAMI MOVIE 🚨 nobuko miyamoto plays an egocentric DIVA separated from reality in what some may call the goldie hawn from first wife club register. amazing performance by nobuko who truly has the best range there is if you take a moment to look back. beautiful and sweet, heartwarming and a bit ironic. if you are into dramatic old women with ugly little dogs and cults, this is for you. a gay classic about a woman running away from death threats made by a man running away from death threats
#all of the illustrations are pulled from the official medusa1597 VLC archives hence the quality#there are two movies missing in that list because i havent seen them yet#but anyways 😁😁😁😁😁 yes#me as a cinema journalist: guysssss isnt this so silly its like silly right omg

Letter Found at the Foot of a Tree
Content warning for mild gore.
To My Good
Dearest
Heya
I hope this letter finds you well
I’m sorry this
I’ve never really been good at writing, but as you said, there’s a first time for everything. This is mine. Sounds easy, but when you actually sit down to do it its’ like staring at the ground from the top of a skyscraper. Which is a stupid thing to Sooner or later, you’ll have to jump, so here goes.
Do you remember when I first met you?
I was mad. Mad at my lack of talent. Mad at my stepfather. Mad at the f*cks who acted all nice to my face because I was a Tostig but talked crap behind my back. Mad at my inability to finish anything I started. Mad at my stupid stepbrother. Mad at the rotten world that keeps screwing, and screwing, and screwing, and screwing, and screwing, and screwing and screwing, and screwing us over.
And, well, you know how it is. You lash out, say a few bad words, bust a kneecap you didn’t mean to think the fury will last forever, forever turns out to be an hour, break down, feel bad, think you might as well dig deeper because why the hell not, then wash, rinse and repeat for the rest of your miserable life.
Then you showed up: a stuttering, mousy transfer student who was just as done with this whole sh!tfest as I was.
Do you remember how I offered to accessorize your outfit? I’m sorry for that. Its’ a very nice outfit and you look great in it.
I don’t know if you liked being around me, but I LIKED hanging out with you, even those days when we just sat beside each other, saying nothing. Together, we were no longer bitter jerks who needed to get over ourselves. Our rage MEANT something! It was REAL and PAINFUL and for once, screaming at the sky didn’t make me feel like an idiot.
But maybe that was part of the problem. Because sometimes, we did have dumb ideas that we probably shouldn’t have gone through with.
Do you remember when we tied up that kid who hid dog crap in your locker and yanked her teeth out? GOD, I felt alive! And you were amazing with the pliers! No idea you had that kind of arm strength. Probably made you feel ashamed, but I say that stupid b!tch deserved to get all her f*cking teeth pulled out what you did was really brave and you shouldn’t have felt bad about it. I’m the one at fault, because I thought that was justice, so I gave the say-so.
And that’s the thing, isn’t it? You do all this stuff that feels good in the moment, and eventually, the life sorta seeps out of you. Had a dream once where I was naked and made of glass. Somebody filled me up with sand. Then I got a crack, and it itched, so I banged myself to make the crack larger, and it hurt GOD did it hurt but it also felt so good I kept at it cracks running across my body sand flying loose until I became a million beautiful pieces but I wasn’t around to stop you from doing the same thing.
Maybe if I wasn’t so obsessed with banging myself up,, you would still be here.
Were we bad for each other? I mean, I thought that when people were bad for each other, they yelled and threw crap, like my stepparents. But we acted like the way friends do on T.V. We talked together. Made dresses. Told Jokes. Hung out. And we wanted to hurt things, but only the things that deserved it. How could that be wrong?
And yet, that didn’t change a thing. I screwed up, in some way I don’t fully understand. And I know it was me. Don’t pretend otherwise.
They tell me they found your body in the woods outside of school. Bee sting, they say. But I don’t buy it. You’re out there somewhere, and I hope you’re doing well.
I know I am.
You won’t believe this, but I met a girl at the art gallery. Asian, like me. We started talking about the painting, the one where the red dinosaur is stepping on the blue dinosaur’s neck while all the other dinosaurs and plesiosaurs and pterodactyls just stare like idiots as they have for 65 million years.
Anyway, the point is, we hit it off. Sweet kid; you’d like her.
How long you bet before I screw it up?
Still visit your old turf, by the way. Picking up the litter, so its’ clean for when you come back. A hawk died there recently. Put all the bones in a box for you. Not sure if you have those in your collection yet.
Now where was I?
Remember my fear of heights? Of course you don’t, I’ve never shown it. Wish I had though, but I used up all my wishes a long time ago. Point is I’m trying to get over it. Been practicing jumping from higher and higher heights each day. Can jump off the roof of my house without much trouble now. Granted, I land in the bushes like a pussy, but it still counts for something, if you ask me.
I guess all this was my convoluted way of saying: I’m sorry. I have no idea what I did, but I know it’s my fault, no matter what all those other idiots keep saying. Maybe I was just born wrong or my stepdad f*cked me up. I don’t know. But I’m really sorry I’m broken this way. I’m sorry the toxins planted into my by my stepmom or my stepdad or this whole rotten world leaked out of me and into the ground where it poisoned you too.
And thank you so, so, much for being my friend when nobody else would. Even when I threw every red flag in America at your face.
I hope you’ve found someone better, wherever you are.
Everyone tells me I’ll move on someday.
The scars will heal, they say.
But that doesn’t feel right.
Not now.
Not with you.
I’m not ready to say goodbye.
Not yet.
