Group Exercise! Clap! Clap!: Hazbin Hotel

Charlie: Alright, Everyone, gather around! We're doing another singing circle!

Angel: *trying to sneak away*

Vaggie: *holds Angel at spearpoint* Oh, no. Get back there and play along.

Angel: This was stupid the last time! *grumbles as he sits down in the circle* Fucking singing and clapping like a bunch of cheerleaders. Haven't seen this much clap since I was alive.

Charlie: Don't worry, Angel! I've adjusted the song to specifically match most of our guests in a way that they may be more open and honest!

Angel: *blinks* Doubt.

Charlie: Watch! AHEM!!! *sings* I have turned all of my trauma into kinks!~

*CLAP!!! CLAP!!!*

Vaggie: *face falls* Babe!

Husk: *spits out his drink*

Alastor: A- What now?????

Lucifer: *singing* I've turned all of my trauma into kiiiiinks!~

*CLAP!!! CLAP!!!*

Charlie: Vaggie! Go!

Vaggie: Uh..... *sings awkwardly* Run a knife right down my spine?

Charlie: *wiggles her eyebrows at Vaggie* Be my Mommy~

Angel: *sings enthusiastically while swooning backwards into Husk's lap* Make me cry!~

Charlie & Lucifer: Because I've turned all of my trauma into kiiiiiiinnnks!

*CLAP!!! CLAP!!!*

Charlie: Second verse, same as the first! Husk, take it away!

Husk: YOU ALL NEED FUCKING THERAPY!!!

Received an ask/thought that suggested the scenario of Alastor and Lucifer ending up handcuffed to each other like how Death Note's Light and L were during the amnesia Yotsuba arc as a Charlie-induced trust exercise~.

Link to the ask

Vaggie's supposed to be holding volume 7 of the manga, which shows how much good that endeavor did for the chained participants, lol.

The ‘it’s Viktor’ moment is lit and framed in such a way that reminds me of the dialogue screens in Patho 2 so here's a crossover as a little treat for me and the 5 other people who share my brainrot

Obsession is an accidental haunting, by a person not aware she’s a ghost.

something something the illegal street racers have now switched to being bikers and Bumblebee and Prowl decide to take part (the Race comic lives in my head rent free. the universe must let prowl give into more silliness and sassiness) as a teamwork exercise but things get out of control. possibly cuz of it again being a rigged deathly racing..

also V

cute as hell. what are you worried about prowl. he's the one getting attention. not you. smiles

Sorry to be insane about Soul Society once again, but does anyone actually know anything about those boards they are always banging on whenever there's an emergency or a wartime exemption or whatnot?

This thing:

Does it have a name? A historical precedent?

I wasted a portion of my morning trying to figure this out, and the closest thing I could find was the hanshō (半鐘), which is a bell that was struck with a hammer and were used for fire alarms. (You can read more at this interesting article about fires and firefighting in Edo-era Tokyo; there's a section about halfway down specifically about the bells).

That's a bell though. The thing above is definitely wood; I left it as a video so you can listen to the banging. If you want to listen to what an actual hanshō sounds like, here's a news piece about the one at the U.S. National Arboretum. There is a lot of bell ringing in that video but they ring the actual hanshō about about 1:25, and it's got kind of a muted reverberation, but it definitely goes "bong", rather than the distinctly wooden "clack clack clack" from the video above.

At some point while I was down deep in this rabbit hole, I learned that most hanshō were melted down for their metal during WWII. Does the Seireitei have a metal shortage? I feel like there is not a lot of metal/mining in Soul Society generally and while this might be fun enrichment for my terrible brain, someone chose to draw these bang-y boards all the time and I am absolutely sure it was not for the purposes of alluding to Soul Society's otherwise-uncommented upon metal shortage.

There was also the weird slide-y board, cursive alert tiles that B3 posted about once. We saw it exactly once during that early period where Kubo was absolutely wilding on Soul Society worldbuilding. Weirdly enough, if you look up that part in the anime (the opening moments of episode 21), you can hear a bell being struck in the background. Maybe they just liked the wooden sound better??

In fact, the sound effects they used in the manga were "BONG BONG BONG" and "KLANG KLANG KLANG."

I don't even know anymore.

hear me out: lighter with a reader who's sick, tired and dehydrated 24/7 with very deep eyebags. he's effortlessly doing pushups while you sit on him but you can jog for 5 secs without becoming a panting mess.

imagine him u up like a bunch of grapes and manhandling u

oh that is so me. he has shown in game that he would tease you a little for it (he laughed at our poor attempt of pull ups) but i don’t think he’d be mean about it. if you really wanted to, he’d help you get started so that it isn’t intimidating but he wouldn’t force you to do it. he would DEFINITELY try to help you live a healthier lifestyle in other ways like cuddles to sleep earlier, getting drinks together, etc.

i think something that’s fun to think about is actually helping lighter when he’s practicing/exercising. he feels a lot more motivated when you’re around but he doesn’t want you to just watch him. if it’s an actual fight, sure he doesn’t mind, but this is precious time that could be spent together.

so now he has you keeping his feet down while he does sit ups. it doesn’t ask much from you and he gets to see your face, unlike sitting on him when he does push ups. it’s like a reward in a sense, your voice counting each rep and your smile that just pushes him to do more every time. he doesn’t know if he’s feeling weak from the exercise or from your presence, as he’s beginning to slow down.

you observe that he’s getting tired, sweat running down his face. he doesn’t wear his shades when he’s practicing, they just get in the way sometimes, so you can see the focus in his eyes disappearing. “6, 7, 8,” you continue counting for him, keeping a mental note of how many reps he has done until now. just before he finishes, you decide to give a little boost of motivation to him. he gets ready to sit up, taking his time to ensure he does it safely. right as he sits up, you place a little kiss on his nose and he doesn’t register that for a moment. his body was ready to lie back down but then it stops half way and then it clicks in his head. a smirk on his face before lying back down, his heart rate increasing from both the exercise and you.

also i do think that he can easily manhandle you. his hands on your waist and you’re up in the air, placing you on the nearest surface. but if there’s anything that you’ve shown clear discomfort to, he would never do. i don’t think he’d slam you into a wall or anything like that, but instead would pin you to a wall slowly mhm

Has your F/O(s) ever had to defend you from anything before? Have you ever had to step in and defend them from anything? Whether it be just a one-off foul comment or something that escalated further?

How did they/you soothe and comfort the other one afterwards?

semi-related to my other post about working together, and this is something i'm probably never gonna have the time to actually do bc it's so niche and hard to search for, but i kinda wanna go back and look at the, like. immediate practical directions john gives arthur over the seasons. bc i feel like more recently he's been making way more obvious judgement calls, and with very minimal pushback from arthur. like, "thee's a cave here, it'll hide us" or "we can't run away from this thing, just play dead" or especially "use the lighter on this guy who's trying to kill you." like it's not directly talked about but there's no guarantee that he's actually correct in any of those being a good idea.

i feel like if john gave those kinds of directions early on, he'd probably get more heat for it, either in the moment or (if it's not practical to stop and argue right then) later on in retrospect. but lately arthur has just taken it on faith that he 1) hasn't failed to notice or mention anything important and 2) is making the correct assumptions wrt what action will be best for them at this moment. both of which are far from guaranteed and speak to a LOT of trust in his decision-making. especially for a guy who hates doing what he's told as a general rule. he's become so much more willing to listen to john's advice & act out his commands on way less evidence. i think.

Any good Megatron ship needs to have that gun wielding experience.

I don't care if he's not a gun anymore. I say the old man is transforming. He's transforming.
