That happens when we talk in the middle of the night about hair.

Somehow, we got from the question "Why does hair always grows down (besides on the head), is that gravity? Would it grow up if you would do a handstand your whole life?" To "Hair is like a Banana. Its all the sun's fault." To "Iggys eyebrows were a chemie / magic accident." To "Iggys eyebrows are Hulk."

Part 2 of the medieval fantasy Pokemon world I dreamed the other day! Blue earns her living through dance performances around the markets and inns. Smart and charming, she often slides her way between laws and escapes without a single scratch. Accompanying her are a Blastoise and Jigglypuff. The former stops creepy men (and cheated soldiers) from getting too close to her, and the latter sings for her dances. She doesn’t have a specialty weapon, but is used to improvising weapons out of anything she can lay her hands on. If necessary, the sash around her waist, made of the strongest Spinarak silk, can be used to strangle opponents.  Yellow is an apprentice herbalist from Viridian. She was born with special healing powers that legends say only appear once every decade in a child of the Viridian Forest. However, her powers are still weak, so she chose to learn herblore from a physician while she continues training them. Yellow uses her abilities to help sick or injured Pokemon living in the wild, and as a result, some of them have chosen to follow her, including a Rattata, a Doduo, and an Omanyte. She uses a rod when she has no choice but to fight. Again, if this were a video game, these two’d be the Dancer and Mage class respectively wwww

July 28th, Day 6: XXX - A Kiss; A Shot; A yearning Heart

Even the most rotten heart is beating for someone. Today’s meant for Dark Love.

“…when given as a single bloom, a daffodil can foretell misfortune.”

[blues-chatter-blog]

Tomorrow I will make the final make up & wig test for my next Cosplays. Can’t wait~

It will be:

Liz Hart from wizardess heart

Vermouth from Detective Conan

Princess Aurora from Disney

[blues-chatter-blog]

Apparently every single character on this show enjoys trolling Conan.

[blues-chatter-blog]

I predict that in season three Artemis won’t be touched by any drama and Wally will come back and they’ll live happily ever after.

[blues-chatter-blog]

I’m late, but I love her

[blues-chatter-blog]

... *sends prayers to heaven* I hope I don't see something disturbing before I get to the page with this pairings *goes on pixiv*

blues-chatter replied to your post: Why is Amuro in fan art/ fiction always the…

I found in his tags on pixiv and co pictures where Vermouth topped him. Even Shinichi. And one time Kir.

[blues-chatter-blog]

... ... ... WHAT?! Poor Kaito, what the hell Toichi I hope you have a VERY GOOD explanation for this. Does Chikage now? Because than worsed parents.

So uh. This is from MK Treasured Vol5

Toichi confirmed for alive and also for Worst Father. Rip Kaito’s reasons for stealing

u know i think vermouth is actually getting into this spying on sato and shiratori thing

I mean she doesn’t really even have acting as an excuse for this - it seems a bit out of character for araide

she’s enjoying this

[blues-chatter-blog]

It's in the middle of the night, and I start to style my Vermouth wig.

[blues-chatter-blog]
