Saturday, December 2nd.
Sylvia Plath.
It's a dark and cold day in December and so, naturally, we are left with no choice but to celebrate the sublime and singular talent of Sylvia Plath. That means two entire days of quotes, pictures, and exceptional memes of a literary, existential flavor.
Happy reading, folks. Use your weekends well.

Gabenath Headcanons, yes I’m aware this has become an obsession
Note: This page is practically all Gabenath content at this point and I’m planning to alternate between posting headcanons and memes, along with a few other Gabenath related stuff
Gabriel and Nathalie are both workaholics
Nathalie is bisexual and Gabriel is straight but he doesn’t mind experimenting, if that’s something his partner is interested in
Nathalie and Gabriel’s favorite season is winter
Despite Gabriel having many toxic qualities, one thing he’d never do is cheat on Nathalie, he is very loyal and faithful and would never break her trust
Gabriel likes to play with and stroke Nathalie’s hair
Gabriel makes a point to distract Nathalie while she’s working
Nathalie is a night owl and an early bird
Nathalie is usually the first to awaken in the morning and she often does have to physically drag Gabriel out of bed
At the beginning of their relationship, Gabriel and Nathalie were both very shy when it came to kissing or intimacy in general
Nathalie loves cheek and forehead kisses, especially when she is feeling down
At first Nathalie struggled with expressing her feelings for Gabriel, since she was so used to repressing how she felt
Nathalie gets flustered whenever Gabriel compliments her (she doesn’t know how to accept praise)
Gabriel is definitely the more kinky one but Nathalie is always willing to try his ideas
Gabriel and Nathalie both have praise and degradation kinks
Nathalie drives and Gabriel is the backseat driver but Nathalie just ignores him since he generally doesn’t know what he’s doing
Nathalie is silver and Gabriel is gold
Ever since Gabriel and Nathalie started dating, Gabriel and Adrien have gotten closer and actually have a healthy relationship
When Nathalie found out she was pregnant, she was very nervous to tell Gabriel but once she did he was very supportive
Nathalie and Adrien love to make fun of Hawkmoth and Gabriel just has to deal with it
Gabriel does not know how to use technology at all and Nathalie often has to walk him through how to sign into his gmail
Nathalie is clean, Gabriel is messy
Nathalie has mastered writing Gabriel’s signature since she is basically doing his job for him at this point (since he’s too busy being Hawkmoth)
When Gabriel and Nathalie finally started getting serious, Nathalie insisted that Gabriel go to therapy
On the weekends Gabriel will make Nathalie breakfast in bed
Nathalie and Gabriel are not fans of PDA but will still be affectionate in other ways (hand holding, touching, etc) in public
When Adrien and Nathalie get annoyed with Gabriel they will purposely wear off brand clothing (not the Agreste brand) just to aggravate him
Nathalie’s favorite ice cream flavor is vanilla and Gabriel’s is mint chocolate chip

People I wanna know better tag meme
I got tagged by the lovely @scarefox :)
Last song?
This one from my work playlist (it's a remix of the "The Lost Boys" soundtrack)
youtube
Favorite color?
It kind of changes every couple of years. Right now I like green a lot 💚
Currently watching?
A lot 😅
BLs:
Ossan's Love Returns
Playboyy
War of Y
Pit Babe
Cooking Crush
Sahara sensei to Toki-kun
Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka
And I'm also (re)watching some older series (mostly while I work, perks of working in my home office ^^):
The X-Files (season 1)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer (season 1)
Star Trek Voyager (season 6)
Star Trek Deep Space Nine (season 3)
Last movie?
I mostly watch series, but I actually managed to watch two movies last weekend!: The Favorite (18th century lesbians anyone?) & Ratatouille (the best tiny cook!)
Sweet/Spicy/Savory?
YES Idk I like all the flavors XD The only thing I can't eat is sour stuff, because I'll get an upset stomach :(
Relationship status?
Single pringle~
Current obsessions?
Playboyy the series 😌
Last thing you googled?
Hmm, I think the last thing I looked up was info about the 6th Oktober 1976 massacre of students at Thammasat University to get more background information while I was watching Shadow the Series. Pretty gruesome stuff... Especially the fact that none of the perpetrators were ever held accountable. It seems the official government stance is that it was just an unfortunate event and everyone should forget about it. But when you watch interviews with people who survived, it's obvious there is still a lot of trauma going on.
Selfie or another pic you took?
Let me share a cool pic from my parent's garden. What you can see here is not a hummingbird, but a huge chunky moth! They're called Taubenschwänzchen or hummingbird hawk-moths and they're about 4-5cm big :3 It's a pretty rare find up in the northern parts of Europe, because they usually prefer a warmer climate.

And let's see... I'm tagging: @boysslove @my-rose-tinted-glasses @blmpff @pinkkop @bunni-bun @ellieellieoxenfree

Can I get a sleep headcanon for Bob and a hobby headcanon for Coyote!🤭🥰
Thanks for the ask, Sam!!! I am always up for HCs and these were a lot of fun! 🥰
Bob Sleep Headcannon:
Bob usually only sleeps for three or four hours a night, however, he takes frequent short naps throughout the day. He didn’t plan on this schedule, he just sort of fell into it while in college and it stuck. At Top Gun, he uses the extra time at night to read or study (much to the dismay of roommate Phoenix, who prefers the room pitch black) and then takes little 20-30 minute catnaps while the other teams are flying or during lunch. The other Daggers soon become used to finding him curled up on the couch in the rec room or laying with his head on his desk before training starts and just leaving him alone. Though they are all still amazing at how he always snaps awake with no problem at a moment’s notice and is completely alert.
When he is actually asleep in his bed, Bob likes to sleep in a pair of loose sweatpants and an old t-shirt. Then he cocoons himself under the blankets and curls up into a small ball. When Phoenix teased him one time for sleeping like that, he just shrugged and said it makes him feel safe and cozy. What’s wrong with that?
Coyote Hobby Headcannon:
Coyote is an avid poker player. His granddad taught him and his sister to play when they were little kids and he instantly fell in love with the game. Once he got older, he began to study different strategies and techniques and soon became an expert. He began joining amateur games on the weekends while at the Naval Academy to make some extra money and cleaned up. While Hangman has an uncanny ability to win at most things they compete in (darts, pool, foot races, flight training, etc), Hangman has never managed to beat Coyote at poker. He might win a few hands now and then, but at the end of the night, Coyote always walks away the big winner. 
Coyote grew up having huge potluck dinners every Sunday with his entire extended family and he always helped his mom in the kitchen. While this started his love affair with cooking, he hates baking. Baking requires precise measurements and following instructions to the letter, and he gets enough of that in his job. But with cooking, he has the freedom to change things up, add something special that he didn’t the last time, experiment with different ingredients or flavors, and just being able to take risks. His food is always the first to go when the Daggers have parties or get-togethers, and there has been more than one instance where fists were almost thrown over the last serving of one of his dishes.

Felt I should do a little "greetings, new folks!" post. If you'd like, please feel free to hit the heart dealie for a thing in your ask box in the near future (weekend or before). Alternately, I'm sure I'll toss out a meme soon too, or just feel free to send randomness. Regardless, the result's either going to lean hard into angst or humor. Sometimes both. Horror is a side dish that just kind of shows up. A little treat, if you will.
I mean I'm not gonna stop anyone else from liking the post, but you already know the dangers of what you're going to get. It's like trick-or-treat but it's all tricks or candy flavored like obscure things that should not be candy.

Using spring recess to catch up on Invisible College reading/podcast, and I wondered if you’d ever read Carlyle’s French Revolution. I attempted it a couple years ago, got maybe 75 or 85 pages in (this is *after* I’d listened to Mike Duncan’s very approachable 45-ish episode podcast on the French Revolution) and Carlyle’s prose and the sheer density of era-specific references utterly defeated me. When people say things like “the internet/podcasts/meme culture” or whatever is the literature of our time, this reading experience is what I think of….
No, just excerpts to get the flavor of the rhetoric and the basic idea, which is essentially reproduced for the common reader by Dickens in A Tale of Two Cities anyway. (Dickens, with his populist touch, doesn't bother us with era-specific references and just presents allegorical social types for his fictional history of the French Revolution. I'm not mocking; it's a good technique!) The only Carlyle book I've read cover to cover is Sartor Resartus, which is difficult in its own way, but not that way. You probably have to know a bit about German Romanticism and Idealism for that book, but not much historical minutiae.
(Speaking of literature, history, meme culture, and our time: a leftist on Xitter said something like what was going on at Columbia this weekend will be better remembered than the contemporaneous Gertrude Stein event. "I'm not so sure," I thought, as I strived—am still striving as we speak—to cram a bunch of Irish history back into my head for the Yeats episode of the IC. Yeats I can remember; the historical context I have to remind myself of every time it comes up. Begorrah, who was O'Leary again? "Let me recite what history teaches. History teaches," wrote Stein inconclusively, as if to say that history teaches nothing. She elevates Picasso's "presently," the permanent present of timeless-untimely art, over Napoleon's "first," the mere successions and usurpations of historical time. She therefore both ventures and cancels the imperious artist's possible resemblance to the emperor. This is her way of agreeing with Aristotle, I take it, that poetry is more philosophical than history, because poetry treats of what might and should happen, while history just tells us, depressingly enough, what did.)

For that character ask, Poland #0
sorry this took so long! I've had a busy weekend 😅
#0 All numbers in the list!
1, what would their social media page/activity be like
A mix of Straight girl and history obsessed white cishet guy.
He has "You have to try this Starbucks secret menu item!!!!" and *inaccurate history meme taken from reddit* right next to each other.
also Christian memes and horse girl memes.
2, What animal they remind me of
a cat actually; like, how dare you ignore him but also how DARE you bother him when he doesn't want to be bothered.
3, my thoughts on their design/aesthetic alone
canon Poland looks like his name is Stephanie and he's a wine mom who says "I'm doing this for my crowns in heaven!" whenever doing a favor for someone.
Fanon Poland Is amazing I love him, we all really went "This man is actually a walking thrift store but in a good way" and it works amazingly on him.
4, physical headcanons
he sleeps with like 7-12 pillows. It drove Liet insane when they were married.
when he's home alone he THROWS every door open looks around suspiciously then makes a mad dash to whatever other room he needs to go to. my guy DOES NOT linger in hallways.
hates knitted stuff on his skin. Can't wear sweaters without a long sleeve shirt under them, loves the knitted crop top look, can't commit to wearing them for more than 5 min.
everyone thinks he's a 17 step morning routine person; his darkest secret is he owns 1 watered down face wash and uses 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner, body wash.
5, Social Headcanons
The Friend Group(TM) consists of Lithuania, Latvia, Prussia, Estonia, Hungary, Finland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Belarus.
"If we're gonna go out we should get the whole group together!!"
individually;
Lithuania: The Ex Husband, the boyfriend, the mom friend he's literally a 3 in 1, it's great. LietPol is one of my "Soulmates in more than 1 flavor," examples, they're stuck together. Whether it's romantic, platonic, or somethign you need a whole fic to explain.
Latvia: The little brother that tags along so much you accidentally become friends with him too. Feliks loves Raivis, they're buddies. They 100% sincerely pray for each other, like "Hey this is happening, could you pray for me?" "Of course <3"
Prussia: The former enemy. They're friends now but Feliks is still super snarky to him. "I'll pray for you <3" but condescending and unsolicited. They fuck sometimes ngl.
Estonia: Feliks takes one look at Kalev and just!!! Look at this little nerd!!! He needs friends!! I'll take pity on him and be his friend!!! Feliks is just as nerdy and knows it, but like,,, still calls Kalev a nerd, lovingly ofc.
Hungary: THE RIDE OR DIE. The shared experience of being genderqueer and horse girls. Feliks would die for Erzí, Erzsébet would die for Feliks. They complain and brag about their bf's and Erzí talks about his kids while Feliks (depending on the day) cements himself further into "I'm never having kids" or "I want a baby so badly :(((((("
Finland: Feliks straight up does not remember becoming friends with Kasper. He just knows one day Kasper tagged along with Kalev and Erzí and then they became friends? Tbh more than anything is just "Erzí and Kalev's little brother"
Czechia: his relationship with Adéla can be summed up in "I wouldn't take a bullet for you bc If I have time to jump in front of it you have time to move" but like, he would actually take a bullet for her. Tbh they really only hang out at like 3 am when drunk.
Slovakia: i... don't actually have hc on them yet.
Belarus: Feliks is actually 2 seconds away from adopting Natalya. He's gonna be her new dad and he's going to raise her right. Feliks relationship with Natalya is really complicated, but he does really feel bad for her and has moments of "I could save her from everything probably"
Psychologic headcanons
Has to be surrounded by people at all times. He has 'safety in numbers' drilled into his subconscious.
has APD, It made learning to read really hard, and like you can't talk to him in a noisy room bc your voice and that fork clinking on the plate over there are the same sound sorry :\
has nightmares so often he started taking nyquill every night so he sleeps through them bc no I don't have time for this.
7, ships with them that I like or at least consider
LietPol, legit did not think about this two until I started following 2 specific people I will let you all guess who they are.
PruPol, i have to be a specific angsty/slap-hCppy mood to enjoy it tho.
8, Made up connections with other characters that weren't in canon
I think I accidentally answered this one with #5
9, Headcanons about their past
Feliks is one of the few nations to have both human parents (Japan is one of the others I have rn) he was only a few months old physically when his father died, and 2-ish when his mother died.
They didn't throw him out. After their parents died, his younger brother (a human) took him. Generation after generation they took care of this little mystical being.
Most nations born to humans are thrown out as curses. Feliks' family called him a blessing, some family members even claimed he was their guardian angel.
Generation after generation they took care of him, they loved him so much.
A tragedy struck, they all died. He buried them all himself. He laid next to the graves and cried for days, he begged God to kill him.
He was only physically eleven years old.
He didn't know what he was, but he had bought into the guardian angel thing. He thought he had failed. Eventually he got up and moved on, he left just wandering...
Then he met Liet... found out he wasn't alone.
10, Content about them I'd like to see more of
tbh more platonic PolHun, I love them <3

Hope you enjoy this weekend. I know you will. I have a headcanon for you. Benny and Santi try to make their girl smile since she had a stressful day.
Always love the ideas you have for me 🧡!
Making a Bad Day Better (with Benny and Santiago)
Benjamin "Benny" Miller x f!reader x Santiago “Pope” Garcia
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Benny and Santiago both know you well enough to tell when you've been having a bad day long before even walk in the door after work. They can read you like a book from your text messages alone.
Santiago's admittedly less internet/phone savvy than Benny, so Benny's typically the one that takes it upon himself to periodically drop memes and funny videos into your group chat that he knows will make you laugh (or at least smile) while you're still at work. And if all else fails, you can absolutely expect to receive a Benny selfie.
Santiago, on the other hand, prefers to have flowers delivered to your office when he can tell you need a pick-me-up. Though he'll never admit it, he's on a first name basis with the local florist now.
Benny's not the world's worst cook, but on days like this, Santiago outright bans him from the kitchen and takes charge of whipping up one of your favorite meals.
Benny doesn't argue, because he'll be busy scavenging every grocery store in the surrounding area for your favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor. It's always nearly impossible to find, but nine times out of ten he manages to get his hands on it.
Santiago may have outright scoffed the first time you tried to explain to him what in the world a bath bomb is, but he's willing to brave the mall and the chatty, overbearing staff at the little bath & body boutique (and the awful headaches the fragrance-filled shop gives him) if it means you'll smile when you come home to a bag with the shop's logo sitting on the kitchen counter.
Santi can't quite understand your obsession with candles (and why an entire shelf in the towel closet is overflowing with them), but you bet your ass that man will run around the house making sure they're all lit before you walk in the door on a bad day.
While he'd do this any day as it is, Benny likes to wrap you up in an extra tight hug when you come home stressed. He'll lift you up and spin you around before placing an affectionate kiss on your forehead.
Santi has a different brand of affection than Benny does. He'll wait till you've hung up your jacket on the coat rack and put your keys on the counter. And then, when you inevitably walk into the kitchen and bend over to see what's cooking in the oven (a grin spreading across your face), he'll hug you from behind and kiss the back of your neck softly.
After dinner, you'll find yourself in a warm, tangled pile of limbs on the couch. Santi's been known to give a mean foot massage, and Benny holds you close in his arms while he plays with your hair.
18+ NSFW CONTINUATION BELOW THE CUT.
Content: NSFW, smut, MFM dynamics, MM dynamics, oral sex (f!receiving), rimming, shower sex, unprotected p in v, anal sex, creampies
Both of them insist on doting on you first, making sure you're washed. But when that's out of the way, all bets are off once the three of you are plastered together, slippery and soaking wet.
Things will always start off slow and sensual⁠—Benny kisses you softly while Santi massages your shoulders, Santi steals Benny and slots their lips together for a languid kiss, you turn and kiss your way across Santi's collarbone.
Once you feel one of their stiff cocks brush against you, you'll make to grab for them. But your pleasure comes first—especially on days like this.
Santi's knees and the shower floor don't mix well, so Benny will kneel on floor in front of you, taking your waiting cunt into his mouth and licking his way through your folds and into your hole as Santi holds you and your shaking legs up from behind (and tells you what a good girl you are for them) until your orgasm punches through you.
(Or some nights, Benny likes to turn you around and spread your cheeks, running his fingers over your sensitive rim before dipping his tongue into that tight ring of muscle.)
Santi loves your breasts anytime, anywhere. But when they're warm and wet in the shower, he can't keep his hands (or mouth) off of them. When he's busy sucking on your tits, Benny likes to wrap his arms around you and kiss your neck. (And he often gets distracted rutting his cock against your soapy ass).
Even though these nights are about you, sometimes you catch the boys off guard and swiftly kneel to the floor before either of them can stop you. (Mainly because you love watching the way Benny and Santi always end up kissing each other deeply as they rut their slick, spit-soaked cocks against one another while you take them into your mouth).
At one point or another, you'll typically end up pressed face first against cool tiles of the wall. Santiago will finally bury his length inside of your throbbing cunt while Benny stretches him open from behind, easing his cock into his ass. Benny sets the rhythm with his thrusts, which push Santi even deeper inside of you, until all three of you find your release (and you and Santi's holes are dripping with cum).
...and so really you can't be blamed if sometimes you milk a mildly inconvenient day just to ensure it ends like this.

GET TO KNOW THE MUN! 🌟
Tagged by: @hellcab (thank u!)
NAME?: H
PRONOUNS?: They/Them
MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?: Carlos. For some reason it's Demon-flavored Carlos, though I do have other AUs available.
RP PET PEEVES?: Lack of communication, though I'll be the first to admit that I'm also bad at it (I get nervous talking to people >w>)
EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?: Been Rping for 16 years, though 9 has been more serious here on Tumblr. Still new to table-top RP.
PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION?: IMs on tumblr, or you can ask me for my Discord and we can talk/rp there too :)
BEST EXPERIENCE?: I find that I have my best experience when my partners are just as excited about the thread as I am. ^^
FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT? : Carlos has had more than his fair share of angst, and there will be more always. Fluff is fun too. I haven't rped smut in years (just haven't felt like it for some reason?? Not that I'm full-on opposed though.)
PLOTS OR MEMES?: I like memes because they're quick and can turn into longer threads. But plotting gets the more substantial stuff definitely.
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?: I try to match, but I like slightly long replies, like two or three paragraphs (a paragraph meaning a new text block, which sometimes can be just one line of dialogue, which is fine)
TIME TO WRITE?: I try to get to threads in the afternoons, but with school sometimes I'm stuck with doing the longer ones in the weekends.
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: Kind of? I mean, Carlos is WTNV canonically autistic, and so am I. I make puns or joked where I can (though my delivery needs some work XD), and I like to think that I'm a smart person though not formally trained (I'm not a scientist of anything). He's helped me to explore my masculine side, which is great since I don't go out much.
Tagging: Anyone!

Co-op with Coop
On April 1st, I had a visit with the benefactor of my longest friendship Mark Cooper or “Coop” as I called him back in the day. It was April Fools, but this is not a prank and the only fool was me for not snapping a picture to mark the occasion.  Coop and I met sometime around 1979 on the neighborhood streets of what was then called Lakeview Heights.  Growing up in the late 70s and early 80s was one of those amazing times that, looking back on it, I feel so fortunate to have been a part of.  Our upbringing in those days has become solidified in modern pop culture by way of memes, pictures and stories from those who survived that time.  Depictions of kids jumping their BMX bikes over a rickety, hand-made ramp while 6 or 7 hapless friends lay prone beside the warped, plywood slope-- like decommissioned school busses in an Evil Knievel motorcycle stunt-- resonate with our generation on a deep level.  How about the memories of what water tasted like coming out of a garden hose and the reminder to let the water run for a good 30 seconds on a hot day or else you got a mouthful of 90 degree plastic hose-flavored H2O? Mark lived one street over from me in those days and the shenanigans we found ourselves in never ended. We honestly didn’t stop from sun up to sun down (except for the occasional dinner bell or call of nature).  All the kids in the neighborhood had each other’s phone numbers memorized back then there were no smartphone contact pages.  The prefix was all the same and Mark’s # and mine were only 14 numbers apart. His number ended in 5-7-1-1 and mine in 5-7-2-5 and it wasn’t uncommon in those days to know your best friend’s number better than your own. From street hockey matches with anyone that walked by and wanted to join mid-game, to playing tag and kick-the-can in each other’s yards, knocking the pickets out of our fences when we used them as make-shift soccer nets, to pranking unsuspecting families with nicky nicky nine doors and running onto the road and mooning oncoming cars -- there was never a lack of crazy things for a bunch of 6-10 year olds to do back in those days.  We would ride our bikes everywhere we could and usually that was to the local corner store, Grant’s Market, or a little further down the road to the laundromat or video store.  Westside Video Classics was THE place to rent all the latest movies and games back in the day.  
Tumblr media
If it wasn’t movies or wrestling, Coop and I bonded over hockey cards (playing scramble,  knock-downs and closeys), making comedy tapes on our cassette recorders (we thought we were a regular Bob & Doug McKenzie duo) and later on playing video games.  At my house I introduced him to the two full-sized arcade machines my dad had bought from a co-worker and put in our rumpus room as he liked to call it:  Super Soccer and Wild Cycle and then later games like Raid on Isram and Cosmic Cruncher on the Commodore Vic-20.

At his house we played endless rounds of Ring King and Super Mario Bros. 2 on his NES as well as countless hours of board games like Crokinole, Rummoli and Crossbows & Catapults. We had the definitive 80s childhood: trick-or-treating together in our shared neighborhood for years at Halloween time, sleepovers almost every other weekend, birthday parties and endless summer nights of hi-jinx.  We shared in common younger siblings that tried to do everything we did at that time and rivalries with our respective kin that gave us even more to relate to.  Sometime in the early 80s, Coop tattooed the drywall on his bedroom wall, in permanent marker no less, with the inscription:  Best Friend Bobby since 1980.  An homage to a friendship that, at that time, was a few years on but looking back now has been a friendship that has endured nearly 45 years.   To take a page out of his playbook, I mocked my 7up sign to display the following:
Tumblr media
I am getting away from my story. All of this to say that Mark came by to meet the family and check out my game room, but became quickly overwhelmed with it all.  He was audibly giggling from the moment I greeted him at the front door to the moment we made our way down to the ‘Arcade’ and then back up to the kitchen to sit and catch up.  His energy was infectious and I knew that we would likely not be doing a lot of gaming on this visit but rather getting reacquainted and spinning shared experiences from those good old neighborhood days.  
Fast forward a week and we got together again and this time we ended up spending a good hour re-living some of those nostalgic times down @ 8bit Bobby’s.  Coop’s one pre-visit request was that he wanted to play some Raid on Isram.  To make this possible, I had to hunt through various backups to find my rom files for the Vic-20 and then figure out how to interface it with my current Hyperspin setup on my M.A.M.E. Arcade machine.  After some tweaking I managed to get it setup and somewhat playable.  The game itself is nothing earth shattering and is essentially a watered-down clone of the popular game Scramble, but, to a couple of 40 somethings reliving the times when they were likely in the 10 and under category, it was pretty neat to play again.  The object of the game is literally survival. You shoot a laser cannon and drop bombs on enemy ground-to-air missiles and fuel refineries. It starts out scrolling left to right in a pretty wide open playfield but as the game wears on the air-to-ground missiles begin taking off and you begin to enter narrow tunnels with what can only be described as flying spiders coming at you.  You can shoot off the stalactites that make the caves a tight squeeze but if you are too busy contending with them you are sure to get hit by the unpredictable and weird trajectory of these squiggle-like arachnid creatures.  Raid on Isram is a “one and done” game meaning you have one life to get as far as you can and then that’s it.  No extra lives, no continues, nothing. THIS was the epitome of gaming back in the days before infinite lives, cheat codes and save states were a thing.  
Tumblr media
From here we moved on to some co-op games starting with Golden Axe.  We got swiftly through the first two stages cracking heads and laying the boots to the little magic-stealing gnomes that appear between checkpoints only to have the game freeze without warning.  I have played through several of these games and never had this happen before. It was a definite headscratcher but we were undeterred.  We continued our co-operative game play with the Midway classic, Rampage.  Just like back in the old days when we used to stomp around the neighborhood, we joined forces to destroy buildings, smash tanks and defeat digitized army men as George and Ralph the giant, Kong-like Ape and Wolfman respectively.  We played through 19 “days” or cities and after each one we wondered how long the game went on for.  After a quick Wikipedia search it would appear that the game has 128 days that, when completed, repeat 5 more times. It was good to know that this was a game we were not likely to finish in one sitting. Maybe a future stream event or something?  Pictured below are our two protagonists: Coop & Bobby and in true fashion I am showing my age and lack of tech savviness by being unsure as to where I am supposed to be looking at the camera. I suppose a goofy picture is better than no picture at all.
Tumblr media
This game room of mine and friends like Coop remind me how much of a role nostalgia plays in my life.  The way certain sights or sounds can just transport a person back in time.  I know we are not the same kids who hid in the willow trees on the neighbor’s property, cut through a field and hopped a fence into each others’ backyards with the ease and agility of an Olympic vaulter, and had water balloon fights while eating home-made popsicles to beat the summer heat, but for the hour or so that we connected tonight, we were transported back to a much simpler time. I leave you with the meme pasted below (which came up in conversation during his visit and I think really hits in the gut). Even though we can’t go back to that moment and give it the recognition and closure it deserved we can at least reminisce about what it was like just hanging out and teaming up against whatever was out there.  Co-op with Coop 4 EVA.

Do you think the soul reaper academy followed boarding school traditions like school dances? Also possibly could the captains have chaperones at these dances?
Given that the goal of the Shinigami Academy is to train shinigami for the Gotei 13, Onmitsukidou, and Kidou Corps, I think it’s unlikely that they have any kind of fun, coming-of-age, school traditions. It’s probably more of a professional school, and there probably isn’t all that much interest in things like chaperoned school dances, since all the attendees are practically already (functionally) adults. However, there are probably a couple of things that operate more like a “regular” school that we would recognize.
If shoujo anime is any indication, youth wouldn’t be complete without at least an episode on the Class Trip. The same goes for shinigami students. Advanced classes get to do cool things like go to the Living World (akin to going to Hawaii). Maybe other classes take domestic trips, like visiting the archives at the Kuchiki manor or maybe having a pottery weekend at Ugendou (these very trips tend to be boring and no one actually enjoys them).
However, if there’s one time-honored tradition that the Shinigami Academy holds onto, it’s the bunkasai (culture festival). But, it has a propagandistic spin on it, because well, this is a military school.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Unohana Shen Yun: Is Shen Yun a meme outside of the Asian American community? I don't know, but making this poster felt very necessary.
Hanbantai Players poster: I had to take this opportunity to bring back the Hanbantai Players, AKA the Half Division, the Gotei 13's finest division, the shinigami troubadours who entertain while also affirming the Soul Society world order (and the expected roles of souls and shinigami). There's a representative from every division, chosen via surprisingly competitive auditions.
The plays themselves are more "local Renaissance Faire" than Broadway, but the true talent of the Hanbantai Players lies in the fact that they act as histrionic chameleons, bringing in the local flavor of wherever they are performing to make their nationalist message feel as organic and "native" to the place as possible.
For example, this poster was made specifically for their Junrinan show, which integrates into Junrinan's extant puppet festival. (Not all Hanbantai shows are puppet shows.) The bronzy background elements reflect a map of Junrinan, with mountains and valleys (山, 谷) in the top left, then a river (川) flowing to a pond (池) through woods/forest (林, 森) before transitioning into a space for souls (魂魄) and, importantly (and in boldface), shinigami (死神).
The Hanbantai's Academy shows all open with the pledge (see below), and tend to be allegorical morality plays about why serving as a shinigami is important–but conveyed through hijinks. One of the playwrights did pitch a scene from a play about the Quincy Genocide, but to date it's never been performed, and the full play has never been ordered.
During the bunkasai, there's probably also some kind of horrible Rukongai World’s Faire type deal that describes the "culture of Rukongai" but it’s very colonial and also just generalizes the entirety of Rukongai to either being the 1st or the 80th (in one particular sector). Imagine visiting an “Inuzuri cafe” in lieu of a maid cafe, where the only drink you can get is water and also you have to fight for it.
Shinigami Oath: If you grew up in the US during a certain time period or were ever a member of any Scouting organization, you’re familiar with reciting a pledge/oath/promise at the start of every meeting. The Academy operates in a similar way. At the beginning of each day, all the students have to line up and recite the Shinigami Oath in front of the flag, and pledge their commitment to the cause. It’s something every shinigami can recite in their sleep, which makes it all the more insulting when Aizen insinuates Soi Fon doesn’t know it. The Academy might not teach much, but it certainly knows how to indoctrinate.
