• MHA pro heroes and how they met you / reader <3 •

Okay, so, plz request things, I need ideas for content :'). Requests are allowed just about anything thats, 1. Legal 2. Consensual and 3. That I'm comfy writing.

This part contains Hizashi Yamada & Aizawa Shouta.

This is how Bnha pro heroes met GN!Student!Reader :))

Nonbinary/gender fluid/ gender neutral Student reader. (platonic)

• Hizashi Yamada ° Presentation Michael.

You met him on the first day, you were walking with a kid you went to middle school with when he ran right into you while turning a corner.

"Oh shi- shoooot... Aha, you okay little listener?" He asked, reaching his hand out to help you up. You take it and he pulls you up with ease. "Yup! I'm okay! How about you, hope you didn't get hurt" you said. "I am A-Okay little listener! Anyways, yo ha go, hope to see ya soon!!" He says speed Walker by down the hall.

You did indeed see him again. He came in during the end of 3rd, you believe, period.

"SHOUTAAAA!!!!!!!" he yells making you wince slightly. "OH! Sorry little listener. Hope your okey, again, haha!!" He says in a softer tone. You nod and continue drawing/reading/writing. "Mic, what do you need." your homeroom teacher says, err, asks (?) Monotone in his voice. Yamada-sensei walks closer to his desk. "I met the cutest little listener earlier, so polite aswell!" He says, too quiet for you to hear if you had been listening. "okay?" Aizawa-sensei replies. "and, I was hoping to yk..maybe....read their file with you??" Aizawa groans.

He ended up convincing Aizawa to read it with him.

He gets you small gifts whenever you get top test score, or do the best in training that week.

Normally its a ring or neckless, but he's gotten you a few bracelets by second year.

Nemuri calls him "Dadmic" whenever they talk about you in the teachers lounge.

• Aizawa Shouta ° Erasurehead.

• you met during the Sports festival, surprisingly, you and shinsou, aka your best friend were against each other and they had to call a tie between you two.

• You throw a punch to his nose and he almost immediately kicks your ribs. you kick his leg and he falls a bit, you go to use your quirk but he's back up. He throws a punch and your pretty sure your nose broke. "L/N how much do you hate [bad person / bad parents name] ?" He asks, you stay silent. "Hm.. Getting smarter aye?" You still stay silent. He attacks again and your sure you and his hands are busted. Its more a street fight at this point. You throw a kick and he stumbles. He gets back his stance and kicks your side again.

•this went on for like, another ten minutes before Mic yelled out.

• "OKAY LITTLE LISTENERS, ITS A TIE, LETS NOT KILL EACHOTHER, HAHA!" He yells out. you sigh in relief. "Good one hito" you say walking off to recovery girl, him following behind you. "thanks n/n, same to you." He replies.

• Aizawa walks up to you and shin after your in civilian clothes and walking to the gate.

• "Hey, N/N wanna go get coffee at the Cate cafe?" Hitoshi asks. "Oh, which one? Kitty frappes??" "Yeah, or we could go downtown to meowing maids to see snowflake. Either is fine." He replies. "L/N. Shinsou." You hear a gruff voice say from behind you. "Hey Monona we were- ...uuhm, hi?" Hitoshi says to the person. "Uuuhhh, hello??? You need something?" You ask. "Yes, I'd like to ask if you'd want me to be both yours, and shinsous mentor." Your eyes open slightly wider. "y- woah.. Wait. You as in pro hero Erasurehead wanna train the 'villains' of class 1-b?" Shinsou asks in shock. "Yes." Erasurehead says. "Oh my god... Oh my god. N/n. N/N. BROO..." Hitoshi says in shock. "Uuhh, yeah uh, yeah.. Mr. Uh, Erasurehead uh, me and toshi would love that." You reply still shook.

•thats how you and hitoshi ended Up outside the 1-a doors on a fine Monday morning.

a rant: i'm scared of getting on hormones

one of the most frustrating things about being trans is just like, the fear of it all. it's like i think back to when i was 17 and it was just like, so fucking obvious? but nooo i was too shy and bashful. i ignored how good i felt when i was able to present more femininely. i chalked it up to "aha im just nonbinary dont worry hehe :3" and it just feels like if i would have started sooner i could have avoided so much unhappiness.

my friend recently described their experiences of masc-presenting as feeling like an alien compared to how it felt when they present more feminine. and it's like oh my god!! that's exactly how it is. i can GET BY okay enough when i'm in "boymode" or whatever, but i'm never truly comfortable. i hate being considered one of the bros or lumped in with dudes who take one look at me and think i'm gonna go along with their bullshit.

but goddd when i'm able to wear my cute outfits and throw on some shitty makeup and just like, express myself. stomping around in my big floral boots and just really let my guard down. i feel so amazing. i was at a concert last week to see another transwoman perform and i got so many compliments and even made new friends. my confidence was through the roof and i felt sooo so good.

and despite all of this, despite the recent time and the maaaany times over the last decade it's like... i'm still scared? i've been staring at this HRT recommendation form for DAYS. there's rarely a minute that goes by that i haven't been thinking about how horrible i feel in my body. how i'm so scared of getting older and my masculine features defining even more. i'm petrified when i think about it. it hurts me to the point of feeling nauseous.

i look at other transfemmes and i get so jealous, i wish i could say i was happy for them and in a way like, of course i am! but i'm admittedly so fucking selfish. i'm mad at how far they've come and how i feel like i'm still at square one. i had to physically move myself away from another transgirl in public recently because she looked so much like how i wanted to that i was so distracted and could feel myself getting upset.

but i don't understand? why is this so scary? i feel like i understand estrogen and what it can do for me. and again, i think about it day in and day out. and i know that i would be so much happier, and i feel like i'm running out of time. so why am i continuing to waste time just being scared?

i've never been medicated for any of my mental health issues, i've always been relatively good at keeping myself grounded. but lately i feel like i'm so deep in the water that i'm starting to drown. and it's like, HRT is the lifeboat i need but i'm like "i dunnooooo maybe i just need to get over drowning" like! what is going on in my head LOL

*pokes you* narrative structure book rant?

Hi Lou, thank you for the poke, ily!!

Okay this can all be roughly summed up by saying that when you've got a book series, the end of a novel should really give you the feeling of, this story has ended, but the saga continues. And I read a few books recently that really left me with the feeling of, haha, gotcha! you thought you were getting a conclusion, didn't you, you dumbass! And I gotta be honest, that,, makes me very frustrated.

(To be clear, this isn't a "I hate cliffhangers" rant, because those can be really fun and effective... when they're used to continue a bigger story in tandem with the resolution of a smaller story. Hopefully that makes sense with the rest of the rant.)

I'm putting the rest of this under a read more so people can scroll past if they want to. There's what will probably become a very long rant below the cut :)

Okay, so with a book series, generally you either have an overarching story that stretches between novels, or you have many different stories that are somewhat unrelated, but based around a common theme/setting/cast/etc. In the second case, it should be pretty self explanatory that you want your individual novels to have resolution- you're not continuing those plot threads into another novel, so obviously you want them tied up.

But the other case... that's the one where I get frustrated.

Suppose you've got a story with an arc that looks something like this:

(I know this isn't how most plot diagrams look but i'm keeping it simply because this is me making powerpoint diagrams at one in the morning, please be patient with me)

Suppose you're writing a three book series that covers that bigger story arc. In that case, I would expect your books to structure out something like this:

Each book has its own exposition, conflict, and resolution, while simultaneously contributing to the bigger arc around it- the overarching plot of the series. The first book might be a bit expositon heavy, and the last might have some heavy lifting to do when it comes to resolving things, but overall, every book is telling a story within a story. Substories, if you will.

What I've been seeing instead that frustrated me so much is something like this:

In this one, I made each book a line segment, although it's not usually that extreme. Usually.

This is where you read book one, and they keep introducing things, and you can see the threads of a really interesting conflict, and then right at the end of the book, you get a whole torrent of events that leaves you feeling a bit overwhelmed and a bit lied to. The first book has no resolution- just a lot of exposition and a lot of introducing conflict.

Book two, by comparison, has a lot of the action of the series. It's where characters start solving the problems, confronting things, having their big "aha" moments. It probably leads up to some major confrontation, or a big cliffhanger- you're right on the verge of a resolution, and most of the heavy lifting has been done, but you're not. quite. there. Despite a lot happening in this book, it might feel a bit flat overall (see diagram), or it might not. It's probably the best book in the series.

Book three gets all of the resolution. I'm not putting a lot here about book three, because tbh I'm surprised if I make it through book two once I've been angry enough about book one.

Some GOOD examples of series structure:

Pretty much every cosmere series. Each one clearly has its own structure to it, even as it plays a bigger role in the plot of the series. Look at the Stormlight Archive! The Way of Kings is exposition heavy, but NO ONE can say that there isn't payoff for all that work by the end of book one. And The Well of Ascension could definitely be considered a cliffhanger with the things that go down at the end, but it's nonetheless a story that resolves, even if the series is clearly amping up.

The Scholomance! Every book has its own story going on, and the main conflict of the novel is resolved by the time the novel ends. There are still problems to solve, and they'll definitely be addressed- but the immediate problem has been dealt with.

Some BAD examples of series structure:

Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: End Game. I'm putting this here even though it isn't a book series because it just captures the point so. perfectly. You think you're walking into a superhero movie. They spend a lot of time building up this conflict, and more time building up fanservice and massive action sequences, and have this big moment of emotional payoff where you think they were able to stop Thanos, then- GOTCHA! They lose! Everyone dies! The end! Oh but don't worry, there's another movie coming out :)) NO. If you were going to do this, call it "Infinity War Part 1". Don't give us an incomplete narrative and call it a complete movie. AGH.

The Atlas Six. Gotta be honest, I didn't enjoy this one for a couple of reasons, but a BIG one was the way that it all felt like a setup when you got to the end. Without spoiling anything for folks who haven't read it, I felt like I had just read a prequel for a book that hadn't been released. A lot of exposition, a lot of time spent building up these characters and their interactions sometimes not very well, but that's a different rant only for it to be one big GOTCHA! at the end. It was like reading a comic expecting a superhero story, only for it to be the hero's tragic backstory, up to and no further than the point that they decide to do something with the cards they've been dealt.

Unless you're labeling something with "Part 1," people are going to expect a story to resolve, and when you don't deliver on that, they're going to be disappointed. It's the same way that you would be upset if you turned on a romcom, and got to the end without the two main characters ever meeting- although at the very end, you see them both walking towards the same coffee shop, so maybe something will happen. Eventually.

Whenever I see something like this, I often end up thinking to myself, "This isn't meant to be a first novel in a series. This is meant to be the first part in a several-part epic. This is a prologue that got turned into a novel so that people wouldn't be intimidated by the size of the book, or because trilogies are selling well right now, or whatever explanation you want to pick."

Let it resolve. Leave a few threads to connect to the next novel in the series, but let it resolve. The characters win the battle, but perhaps they're losing the war. The characters lost the battle, but they've discovered something that promises to turn the tide. The characters have solved the mystery, but there are a few things that don't add up and they're sure there's more beneath the surface. All great resolutions! All lead into the next story! But there's a whole lot of stories that will go for shock value and lack of resolution so they can get you to buy the next volume. And nothing makes me angrier at a book than when an author tries to pull one over on the reader instead of actually doing the work to structure a story.

chapter 3

i've had a red bull (gross), i have 3 hours until im watching pride and prejudice and zombies, lets do this thing

once again jo nesbo cuts from the action because ???

look, i like dramatic retellings as much as the next bitch this wouldn't be a problem if he didn't do it every chapter.

it's the next night apparently

anyways macbeth is relaying the story of how he and duff committed a literal massacre to a very enthralled (and very drunk) SWAT team

take a shot every time angus specifically says "jesus"

he says it a lot, actually, so disregard that unless you want to fucking die

angus is an edgy atheist which is why i think it's funny that he says "jesus" so much.

macbeth is retelling the events to his friends and then seyton shows up

seyton: did you really think duff would care about a bunch of dead bodies? macbeth: sir, this is a chilis.

once again duff portrayed as An Asshole. would be better if he was shown to improve, but alas. we can't have shit in this nameless town

okay another point to nesbo, i like the ping-ponging of the story between macbeth and duff telling it to different parties and both of them LYING

duff's like "hnggg does duncan like me" and duncan's like ":)"

lennox and caithness hiiiiiiii

take a shot every time duff is like "i gotta make linguistics an art" and discusses his word choices to himself

disregard that

cawdor mention hiiiiiiiii

me when i see people from the play: omg hiiiii <3

mention of The Stoke Massacre which does play an important part if you give a shit about this fucking book, which i dont

macbeth: we shot the bitch. but. it wasn't the bitch.

yeah sweno's still alive.

good for him tbh

duncan is COMING for duff's ass fr

it's kind of amusing because duff is such an irredeemable asshole in this book but it also makes me so upset because duff is - thats my boy, okay?

jo nesbo has NEVERRRRRRR engaged critically with this text fr

not to repeat my rant on how macduff is supposed to be a narrative foil and therefore morally superior to macbeth but

even if he wasnt the man has the straightest moral compass in the play. he's fully prepared to beat malcolm's ass and then go save scotland by himself because malcolm's like "i will be a bad king and fuck the entire country up" like the man is so good. how could you do this jo nesbo

duff calls duncan an "arrogant fool"? or is it sweno? unclear

duncan's worried about shit getting stolen out of siezed goods - THEN FIX THAT SHIT??? arent you in CHARGE?

real drinking game take a shot a woman is described as "looking less capable bc ulterior motives (sex) but shes capable tho!" . i do like the part where her whole face sparkles bc of a candle flame because i too like women

lennox is like "hmm today we're gonna casually discriminate against macbeth"

everyone's clowning on duff rn (for good reason though) augh jo nesbo what are you DOING to my BOY

banquo's like "macbethhhh stop lyingggg" and macbeth's like "what are you talking about aha"

LADY MACBETH HIIIIIIIIIIIIII

banquo HATES her thats misogyny actually

duff: i'm going to commit more crimes on duncan's dollar

her name is just. lady. just lady. what in god's name-

her name is GRUOCH

anyways macbeth is a total malewife i think thats cute

first mention of lorreal. oh boy.

LADY MACDUFF HIIIIIIIIIIII

me when women

she's doing her best rn

okay it's now revealed duff and macbeth are fucking lying bc duff shot the bitch wearing sweno's helmet without checking, so macbeth stabbed the other one to hide the evidence

"now i've paid my debt to you, duff." reoccurring motif here that duff and macbeth have Issues.

duff commits crimes and forces an interrogation in a hospital asmr

[lowcosmic]

heyhii aha I'm kinda gonna be exposing myself a lot here for how much of a horrible person I actually am but, I think I do relate to 💫 anon's feelings, life can get boring if there's absolutely nothing all that interesting to do, I don't have any specific coping methods on it that I'm aware of.. although before I got pulled out of public skl, I used to act like someone I'm not but because of people's first impressions were always based on my face, everyone I've met only ever had a crush on me for it and became somewhat obsessive sometimes and in actuality I can also be a rather apathetically cruel person. I'd play into the role of a pretty/nice girl everyone assumed me to be just for fun, for years I constantly lie to people for my own personal fun, they hold onto that impression and that's what made it easy for me to manipulate a person although I don't think I have yet to cause actual harm from it so far since they never seen through me, I would do the same thing over and over everytime we moved skls, it was all the same but it wasn't repetitive probably because of different peers and the way I adjust my act to still be fun for me to play into, now that I'm not dealing with social learning I can't do that anymore, and that's only one of my own methods to keep myself entertained despite it being rather disgusting to keep fooling around with people and/or their feelings for fun. I'm prone to boredom, I've realized that over the years, sometimes the days I feel quite depressed and bored which does urge me to do something about it and even my brother notices when I get like that in which, he's rather quick on taking action, he would just invite me to adventure out for simple sightseeing because he knows I can't get enough of sceneries despite having seen it many times before 😭 I can't really give out direct advice afterall it was just a rant, not an ask for advice, but hopefully it gives you a rough idea on what you can do..

people I've met were naturally attached to me from the start, so even if I pushed them away they would constantly keep trying or they would still try to keep in touch with me somehow. despite pretending to be an outgoing friendly person, being around people I don't feel close to drains me, which results in me isolating myself or moving on from them. personally I am aware of the people that care and love me but with how unsympathetic or apathetic I am, I just can't reciprocate every single one of those people. so I can't say too much about online/offline friends.

although as for character fixations, I really enjoy nagito and kokichi's character, recently I suddenly gained a bigger fixation on kokichi, I think it was because I related to his characteristics on a certain level. even if I absolutely adore nagito there was a time where his content just stopped in which I would indulge myself in my old character fixations, such as momiji from fruit basket lol, I've always liked his character since I was younger as well and suddenly going back on it felt refreshing in a way. moving back to before, mm I have a lot of hobbies ranging from a lot of subjects, languages, music/art, sports. I hate drawing but sometimes when I have nothing to do or can't go out I try to go back into drawing, I practiced singing, piano, violin or ukulele to pass a bit of time until i get bored of it again, or I'd hone my language skills to keep in touch with my knowledge and sometimes I would do singular sports practice or just to have fun, like gymnastics or playing volleyball n wtv with my brother, there's a lot of things in the world to see and do, I go out on walks when I feel like it just to see the sky and clouds or go to my favourite cafe that I frequently visited when I didn't go back into old habits from depression. so then after the daytime, I would see the stars and moon when I can, the sky is always an amazing sight to behold even after I noticed I kept seeing the same stars every night. there's definitely some things I could never get bored of, I can't say for certain that this could be applied for everybody but I do hope so, whenever I felt bored I would kinda start self destructing over it most likely because I didn't feel like doing anything productive in the moment and I'd still contradict myself by wanting to go out or do something, anything. I'm just putting it out there in case you guys relate in some way, and also because I don't mind it since opening topics up sometimes helps me understand how I want to take action or it let's me understand myself, since I've felt like a chaotically complex person. my feelings on this aren't just something that popped up recently but rather I do feel pained by boredom almost everyday..when I'm bored, I get all sorts of emotions from it, like sadness, self hatred and even nostalgia of my life..or another thing I did was eat when I was bored and rewatched some old anime..at the same time I wouldn't even take my own word for this since personally I don't believe in my own feelings, because of how much I've pretended to be sad over things in front of people and I could only ever confirm I'm actually hungry when i can physically feel my own organs in pain despite it being rather unhealthy. but anywhas sometimes I use those feelings to get myself going to get up and try to do something so idek but it's possible to still use those wandering emotions to your advantage, to pull yourself together and find something to do or see. hopefully this won't last too long as it'll feel unbearable. this was longer than I thought 🥲 (but I try to give out my personal experience to show I can at least understand to an extent, so the one suffering can believe me when I say I feel like I relate)

DID NOT READ THIS THRU DUE TO LIMITED TIME , BUT HERE U GO

( will read later js hafta get this out )

[wasp-coffee]

TMI (2013) live watch (rant incoming)

WHY OH WHY THE EVERLOVING FUCK ARE JACE AND JOCELYN BRITISH?? WHY

Why is Clary so annoying right off the bat and demanding and generally unlikeable

Where were Izzy and Alec at Pandemonium?

What on earth is jace wearing? This weird cropped hoodie getup? Where is his training gear??? No seraph blades? None?? (From the looks of it(

I don't remember this demon rottweiler from the books - I swear it was a shax demon (don't quote me)

Shouldn't Jace be here right about now?

Oh i hate this goo shit

jace killing the demon... Not lighting the seraph blade with an angels name - the blade not lighting at all

I swear Clary killed the demon, hence the need for the iratze later

OH FUCK YOU

WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY BOY'S GOLD EYES? HIS FUCKING GOLD EYES HIS STAND OUT FEATURE

PAGE 44 "...a lazy contempt in his gold eyes"

Why is jace's hair so...strange

Where is his ring?

What is this weird necklace jace is wearing???

So many questions

Also the fact that Clarys hair is singer-in-a-rock-band red and not... Yknow... Ginger

Are her eyes green? Can't tell THIS SET IS TOO FUCKING DARK

Why, as a natural redhead, are her eyebrows black

Her eyes are green! Wahey

Ah hah! His ring is on the weird chain - doesn't make sense considering the whole morgenstern/ wayland switcheroo ordeal with the ring but okay

Jace is both too quiet and talking too much

I get why they're doing the memory thing with dot, to stop them from going to the silent city, but its so rushed

I think they think they're making jace sassy but he's just not funny

Simon ambush? Here?? Why???

I can't believe he got battered AT THE BACK OF THE NECK with a fire extinguisher and is still awake, walking, and talking

Simon is the best so far but only because of Robert Sheehan and because he is the least annoying out of the characters we've met (23:10 timestamp)

Random dad exposition? Why would there be a photo of the guy in the kitchen? I swear it was on the mantlepiece

Omg the antiques shop yay

Oh so jace does have a ring on his hand too - god knows why

AHA! the ring on his hand is the wayland/morgenstern ring! Mystery solved! What's the shir around his neck then?

... is that seriously supposed to be his stele? That looks like a spray painted ballpoint this thing is made of adamas why isn't it glowing?

Hes not even drawn a rune and suddenly he can see through the bookcase???

Where are the cronies' circle runes? Aren't they supposed to be on their necks??

HOW DO YOU KNOW THEY WORK FOR VALENTINE IF THEIR CIRCLE RUNES AREN'T VISIBLE EH JACE? SEEING THE FUTURE ARE WE?

Why is this kinda... Homoerotic for an interrogation scene?

Im so bored of this

Also im sure these idiots are supposed to mention Jace's dad? Isn't that what gets him to fight them?

(haven't read the book in a while)

Why is jace fighting with his fists?

There we go! Again no seraph blade activation or light :(

These demons are supposed to sizzle into thin air, no?

Oh my god im so bored of this can we hurry up and get to Izzy and Alec PLEASE

Blah blah blah crying in the rain GET A MOVE ON

Why is Simon here? Why?

I can't believe they're on the subway this is hilarious i guess that means no van for simon

SPEAKING OF SIMON WHERE IS HIS BAND?

Omg omg is this-

WHY IS IT LABELED "INSTITUTE" I'M SCREAMING OH MY GOD

How would Clary know that "this isn't a dump" GIRLIE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE

The cgi js GOOFY

GOOFY I TELL YOU

Omg alec hi babes

Weird...awkward flirting with the fainting from the demon bite (which is in the front door of the (deserted?) institute for some reason)

Ah hah there we have his stele lighting up

Not one ounce, a single shred of my soul believes the infirmary would be completely abandoned as seen here (31:30)

Why is Simon here?

Where's Izzy?

Alec is also missing

Also MOST IMPORTANTLY Alec just saw Jace Rune-ing Clary (I'm 80% sure there's a whole argument about turning a mundane forsaken that's supposed to take place when Alec finds out)

Why is the iratze still there? They're supposed to fade eventually once used right? Right???

Why is Simon here for exposition WHY

My patience is thinning

Why is jace wearing a gun holster? What?

IZZY!

...also british?

ALSO ALEC????

this can't have been shot in the UK... why is the main cast mostly british????? WHEN IT IS CLEARLY SET IN NEW YORK

This is so strange

What the fuck?

"we're the only ones"????

Where the fuck is Maryse? And literally everyone else the institute was never a ghost town oh my god what????

Random... Ascention detail is random

Alec, baby, sweetheart, my love WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING

Oh good let's meet hodge

This library is ridiculous. Just... So stupid. Beautiful? Yes. But so out of place

What's this massive.. rock? Blocking the doorway????? $10 we never find out

Where's huggin and muggin?

#notmyalec

Where's hodge?

Why on earth is there a random family album on the table??? A photo album with, oh, you know VALENTINE???? CHEAP JOYCELYN CONVERSATION PLOY

Mum? Mhm????

Who the fuck

WHAT the fuck

HAS SOMEONE SWAPPED OUT HODGE WITH A RUNNER UP TO PLAY ALFRED???

This man looks sixty!

Where is his circle rune???

WHERE ARE HUGGIN AND MUGGIN

[redwinterroses]

Honestly I'm very conflicted on the hermatrix plot because on the one hand I Fucking Love Lore and storytelling and shit but also like. Hermitcraft not having Hard Canon is kinda part of why I love it? Like in a world of dsmps and the like, hermitcraft has always been, for me at least, a kinda turn your brain off nothing matters kinda deal. Like if I was too overwhelmed by Lore Shit I could just flip on something from one of the other hermits that just didn't live in the vicinity of the Hermit doing Plot and I could just vibe with them. Though to be fair I'll still have TFC for that he doesn't strike me as the type to actually. Engage in Lore™ in any kinda meaningful way, similar to Zedaph. Heck Zed literally only acknowledged Moon's Big one time lol

Idk I guess I just needed somewhere to talk through these thoughts?

Valid, I suppose? I'm a storyteller at heart and my absolute favorite genre of anything is "light and silly on the surface but incredibly nuts once you dip below" (Gravity Falls my absolute beloved.) So for me, this is JUST the thing I needed to take me from "I really love Hermitcraft" to "Oh my gosh Hermitcraft is the best freaking thing on the planet."

It's totally fine for people to have different opinions on this stuff. You like what you like and dislike what you don't. That's cool.

My one irritation with this fandom right now -- or at least the tumblr side of it -- is that there's this vibe of "The Hermatrix thing was bad" (either because Hermitcraft Isn't Supposed to Have Lore or because of the unreality aspect of it) "And if you like it, you're wrong."

Like. LOL. Chill out, y'all. This is the Hermits we're talking about -- it's not like this will likely have hugely lasting influences on anyone's series except maybe Ren and Doc, and I say maybe because they act like it's coming back but Stargazer ended on a bit of a cliffhanger too and Ren barely even mentioned any of that this season so... It's no big, ya know?

As for the two criticisms I keep seeing -- Look. The Hermits can do deep storytelling if they want. This is THIER game, their story, their server. We're just privileged to get to enjoy it as an audience. If they want to do Big Story Stuff then that's 100% their prerogative. And at the risk of sounding very callous, which I do not intend: folks who don't enjoy that don't need to force themselves to watch it. Don't choke down content you don't enjoy. Life's too short for that.

And the unreality stuff... Like, I'm very sympathetic to folks who struggle with that. I understand that it's got to be hard and I in no way judge or criticize anyone for curating their media intake to avoid things that will trigger them. That's responsible story consumption. Keep doing that.

But as I said in the notes on another post: someone else's need to avoid something: a) doesn't make it a BAD thing in and of itself, and b) has no bearing on whether or not I'm allowed to enjoy it.

Like, for me personally? I really have to avoid content that has a lot of gore. It makes me physically sick and I can't handle it. But does that mean I should stand over here and say something is bad because it triggers my anxiety? Or criticize the creators of said thing for not having my particular needs in mind? Nah, fam. I just... ya know. Don't consume content with gore.

All of this is a long and hopefully firm-but-polite way of saying: it's great if you dislike something about this last season of Hermitcraft or want to avoid aspects of the story or even just toss it out the window of your particular headcanons.

But maybe don't come into the inbox of people who blatantly and loudly LOVE this content just to criticize or complain about it?

And, anon, please understand that I'm putting this on your ask because of the six or eight asks that were far less measured than yours that I've simply deleted. Because I don't feel like there's any point to me answering asks that are all "I hated this. Thought it was dumb. Refuse to acknowledge it" when I've made no bones about the fact that I LOVE the Hermatrix plotline.

So to all those anons who's asks I deleted... that's nice. Please leave me to enjoy the things I like in peace. And to this anon in particular: thanks for your input, man. I hope you can continue to enjoy Hermitcraft in the future -- especially as I expect that next season will very much go back to the more "normal" flavor of everything. <3 See you in s9!

[your-average-weeb-dealer]

Hello hello! so I'm a little new here and I saw your post about "how demon slayer characters comfort their s/o" then I saw you do jujutsu kaisen stuff! I was wondering if you could do the same kind of headcannons for Jujutsu sorcerers + anyone you want! Thank you so much! I hope you're taking care of yourself!!

Hey!! Thank you for worrying about me! I’m taking care of myself fine (not really- but I’m always a mess) and I hope you’re taking care of yourself as well!!

Jjk Characters comforting their s/o!

Characters in this post: Itadori, Megumi, Nobara, Gojo, Inumaki, Maki, Sukuna and Mahito (...kinda) 

Style: headcannons

Genre: fluff

Warnings: none

I hope you enjoy!! Here's the link to the demon slayer one!

Itadori Yuuji

poor baby

He gets so sad when your upset

He'll pull you into his chest, stroke your hair and tell you how much he loves you

He'll ask a lot of questions and he'll low-key be way more energized then he needs to

Until you tell him that right now, all you need is for him to be there with you, in the moment

"I'm so sorry Y/n... I just hate seeing you cry, it makes me scared and frankly I don't know what to do,"

"Just be here, that's all I need,"

good luck trying to get rid of him now, you're stuck with this adorable puppy forever

Megumi Fushiguro

tell me he isn’t the sweetest fucker on the planet.

do it. I dare you.

He's a quiet boy, he'll wrap his arms around your waist and just snuggle into your shoulder

He doesn't say anything, he knows that when someones upset, most of the time they just want to let out all of their feelings

so feel free to do so, he's here to listen to you rant, hug you when you cry and overall just be moral support

He loves you too much to let you suffer in alone and in silence

If your sobs get bad he'll gently shush you and comb your hair with his fingers

"shh, it's ok y/n. I'm here, and I'm not going anywhere,"

Nobara Kugisaki

She drops anything and everything she's doing and rushes to your side

cuddles? yes, yes lots of cuddles

She'll be a little aggressive while telling you she loves you

She'll probably call you an idiot for crying (sorry it's just her instinct)

But soon she'll realize that right now, all you need is for her to sit down and have someone to talk to

If you need to rant, go for it. Need a shoulder to cry on, you can drench her entire shirt in tears if it makes you feel better

She'll bring you her sweaters, sweatpants and all of her comfy clothes

cause you're having a movie night

Be prepared to watch Avengers (I headcannon that she loves marvel movies)

Don't wanna watch that? Ok! That's fine. Seriously she just wants you to be happy

"Y/n. Stop crying, you idiot. I don't like seeing you cry,"

Gojo Satoru 

Despite what a teasing, goofy mf he is

He’ll take this seriously 

He’d be so worried, to the point where he’d literally give you the world if it meant you’d feel better (tbh he’s already prepared to give you the world) 

He’ll hold you, cradle you, hug you, cuddle you, kiss you, anything to show that he cares

He might even start crying as well, 

With a frantic look on his face he’ll just be holding you and kissing your forehead

Saying all kinds of words of affirmations/compliments 

Telling you how much he loves you

“Y/n, you’re the most beautiful person I’ve ever met, you’re so kind and -sniffle- caring, it just makes me love you even more, all I want...”

Inumaki Toge 

he can’t really talk as we all know

But that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to comfort you 

Sure he can’t tell you how much he loves you, but he can show it

He’ll hug and cuddle you, frequently kissing your cheeks, your forehead, your nose, just your everything 

This was one of the moments where he wished he wasn’t a cursed speech user 

God, he wanted to tell you how much he loves you, how much you mean to him, every single reason he wants to spend the rest of his life with you

but he can’t, and it’s so frustrating,

But he’ll do the next best thing,

 he’ll write a handwritten note, saying everything he wanted to say in that moment

He wrote it all fancy too

He wasn’t going to make this your everyday later. No he was gonna write it like he was a Medieval knight sending a letter to his lover 

some of the highlights included 

“Y/n, your so beautiful sometimes I believe you aren’t human, and are really just an angel sent from heaven,”

“I love you so much that my heart might explode one day, and if it does, I will still love you. I don’t think I can ever stop loving you,”

All and all. 100/10 letter 1000/10 lover

Maki Zenin

unlike almost everyone else here

she’d get pissed

Like uncharacteristically pissed

She’s bout to go smack some bitches. How dare anyone make you upset

please tell her to calm down- idk if I like angry Maki.. she’s scary

When she eventually calms down, there’s going to be a long cuddle session

with lots

and lots

and LOTS

of kisses

“y/n. Who did this to you? What happened? who do I need to hurt. Fuck it, who do I need to kill”

Sakuna 

ok- I know he would probably kill you and eat your heart but i wanna pretend that he wouldn’t for a sec 

He’d act like he didn’t care, but really

he’s pissed.

Did someone say something? well they won’t have a tongue long enough to say anything else. Someone did something? aha, they won’t live long enough to do anything else

Your just crying cause you want to? cool, he’ll come back later

Mahito

laughs in your face and kills you.

don’t worry! he’ll still hug and kiss you after you’re dead!! 😊 

(can you tell I don’t like him??) 

Hello dear reader! If you’re a Panda simp and are wondering where he is, sorry, I don’t write for animals- even if they walk, talk and basically act like humans. It just feels weird to me, I hope you understand!

[i-need-air]

Hey it's me again ❤️

I'm just gonna whisper something in your mind (is that even possible?)

Having a baby with Hybrid Katsuki.

Just that. Imagine girl. Perfection.

Ok, real talk here. Every time I see a request from you I uwu a little bit bc I know for a fact whatever you're requesting will make me get so immersed and involved and I'm gonna 💕💞AAAAAA💕💞 while writing AND [lemmecatchmybreath] it happened once again skdjdkfkf Hope you enjoy and sorry it took longer than normal~

Word count: 1.8k

× listen 🥺 I already started and I'm melting, ok?

× when he finds out you're having a smol baby together?

× he freezes and looks at you in a whole different light

× if you're getting pregnant, he will definitely smell the change in your scent and will know even before you do; he'd be instantly by your side with a bewitched expression on his face, taking your cheeks into his palms to just soak everything in yet he's shaking slightly

× and even if you adopt [hopefully a smol hybrid], something deep inside of Katsuki, burried and long forgotten surfaces

× this is the life he always wanted, he always craved even in his darker moments

× this happiness, this fulfillment, this joy

× I absolutely believe he will diligently read and learn everything about the baby to come; will educate himself like no other, deciding to be the very best father he could ever be

× his life was rough and he was stolen away from his biological family, he will now have a chance to have his own and he will not fail you or the baby

× when you hold the little bundle of sunshine in your hands, head down admiring the beauty of a new life, he will stand there, again in shock, again soaking this moment in... so beautiful, so perfect

× will he ever tell you that? of course not; angry ass wild pomeranian—

× but his face gives him away every single time and when you tilt yourself to hand him his new son or daughter, he falls in love for the second time in his life;

× he burries his nose in the soft and fragile skin of the baby's head and breathes in, his instinct kicking in to defend, protect, care, look out for...

× watch carefully because once the baby makes a noise, he'll still, unsure of what to do, but smile so softly as the baby coos in his arms securely; that right there is the best image you can have of soft Katsuki.

× the first few weeks are actually horrible, sorry to break it to everyone aksjskdj not because he doesn't know what to do or does not want to help; on the contrary, he is so incredibly attentive but he also recites the books he learned by memory at this point and it's getting absolutely infuriating;

× although understand him, please; he wants to prove he's a good dad 🥺 except you wanna smack him bc he scoffs if you suggest something he isn't sure about.

× you will find him standing by the baby's crib as it sleeps; he's just???? making sure this is not a dream????? don't question anything though

× can we hc Bakugou with a daughter too? [ already established in the Hybrid!Kiri hcs that Kiri'd have daughter bUT i just really really like beefy men with tiny daughters;;; my heartttt;;; ]

× his little angel, no discussion, no argument, his daughter can do NO WRONG!

× he's very down to earth though, don't get me wrong, he just absolutely adores spoiling her

× speaks softly into her ear, the lowest you'd hear from him

× gruff, raspy, gutural voice ofter overused to scream now low and soft as he holds her into his chest; doesn't do baby-voices or anything like that, but calls her his angel then smirks at you if you're watching;;; then starts softly complaining and bitching about you to the baby 💀 all while rubbing her back

× omfg his hand is as big as her tiny back; guys, call an ambulance, I'm—

× Katsuki would be the type of little shit to pull what I just said then grab you and glue you to his chest too; he'd look down at you both, eyes shining in such adoration he'd take your breath away just before he continues his ranting about you;

× once the baby starts being more interactive, her giggles specially the ones induced by her daddy will make him melt; absolute diminute baby with a small wiggling tail clapping her chubby hands at her dad? his eyes would widen suddently, ears snapping high in surprise and he's taken back by the emotions overtaking him

× he's gone, man; she has him wrapped around her tiny little finger and you can't do anything about it

× instantly acts all in denial if someone is around though; scoffs to hide is obvious smile, placing a palm on his mouth to further block it out and tickles her with the other, earning another fit of giggles

× please, don't tell him his whole tail is waving from side to side

× the only clear giveaway apart from his ears and it's;;; a d o r a b l e;;;

× specially when your daughter also starts wagging her tail in response whenever he does it;

× "Hey, come see what the dumbass is doing!" or "Look at what she did" while showing you a video; proud pappa 🥺

× we're bringing back Proud Bakugou bc hIS DAUGHTER iS tHe BeSt; no, seriously, his kid is the mf best in the world and he will start this presentation with—

× now sit down with me and accept this: the baby; yes, your sweet daughter; mhm, that adorable screeching angel; mhm;;; she'll talk so early it's disturbing.

× at 6 months or so she's already saying mamma, dadda, kitty, woof-woof

× seriously terrifying how sharp she is and how she cannot shut up; for the love of gOd, Katsuki, this is all your fault... it doesn't matter, he just smirks as he has another reason to brag to anyone about his child

× did that street vendor look at him funny? "I'M GONNA FUCKING TELL YOU ABOUT MY DAUGHTER—"

× super-protective of her and fucking hates with a burning passion if anyone dares to do that thing where they match up babies saying "Maybe they'll get married when they grow up"

× hands down, no filter, he just looks deep down in whoever had the audacity and says "Like fucking shit they'd deserve her."

× drag him away before he throws fists

× he will definitely if you don't drag him away and you know it, they know it, the baby knows it and cheers for pappa, the whole world knows it at this point and they're buying tickets to watch the shitshow

× chest carrier and walks around with the kid like a boss

× man has shit to do, don't even dare to judge him;

× handles fits really well, he's impressive to say at least

× she's spoiled, yes and always has new toys, coloring books, whatever she wants but the moment she throws fits, he puts his foot down

× baby would be smol angery bb all adorable in all her Bakugou genetics anger and he'd just stare, tapping his foot

× literally waits in place until she calms and looks up at him with big, round eyes, puffy red cheeks and ears lowered

× mission accomplished; he nods then picks her up;

× and you're there amazed??????

× "The fuck you lookin' at?" lil shit still has a foul mouth tho, but make him get just as pouty and embarrassed as the child in his arms by saying something cheesy like "How amazing you are as a dad 💕"

× all rainbows and unicorns until she starts repeating insults and fr tho, Katsu almost shits his pants, fearing your reaction. Will, hands down, chill out with the insults even if he meant no damage with them; he has this unreadable expression on, a mix of shame and fluster, dread too? he's sorry, ok????

× loves, loves, loves cooking for you both and once the kiddo has her own special chair to sit at the dining table together, that's when he sees it: his dream

× you, wiping some food off her cheek with a loving expression, talking about your day casually, baby giggling while she moves her face away playfully; he loves you both so much.

× has these rare moments where, at the end of the day once you're settled in bed, he'd hug you tight and thank you in his mind for... for this... all of it...

× once she starts walking they're both a disaster

× seriously, do not expect the household to be silent ever again [ well, that dream was gone long ago anyway lol ]

× "Where the fuck do you think you're goin'?"

× rapid giggle running around from place to place

× "Oh, for fucks—"

× "Katsuki." you only need to say, catching him in his insults

× 😳 ... "Kid, come back, we're goin' to the park." Skdjkdfkl

× sudden adorable tiny fast steps approach him bc they're going for walkies!

× he is very careful with her and teaches her about stranger danger; also teaches her how to growl and even if her attempt is a total failure, small rawr leaving her lips, he's like "Yes. Good job. Now give it more heart."

× he growls as an example

× she growls back, sounding like a cute lil pup 🥺💕

× as she grows up, she obviously acts more like her father yet he knows when to stop the bad behaviors and it only takes a warning growl from him to get her to cease

× yet somehow you're the strict parent at the end of the day??????? tf????????? who made the rules??????

× starts calling her brat, squirt, lil shit 💕lovingly💕

× "your child" if she did something bad

× "Your fucking child kicked the ball into the vase and broke it." Aha, nice one, Katsuki. Good job.

× not to brag but her puppy eyes don't work on him but yours do; the problem is her puppy eyes do work on you bc she's the light of your life so if she wants something; she'll puppy-eye you knowing you'll get it for her bc daddy loves you very much 💕💞

× literally evil mastermind; didn't I tell you she's sharp? pft, she's playing you both so hard

× every day he comes back from work she runs to him at the door, tail wiggling happily behind her as she stretches her arms to be picked up and he always does, without a doubt, then proceeds to kiss the top of her head

× come out to greet him too? the whole loving routine is his absolute thing and wants to see you, have you kiss his cheek; he complains but adores it soooooo much!

× you have a family night; BONDING WITH MOODY POMERANIANS. Yes, plural, and it sounds perfect~

× even if it's just one of those animated movies he hates so much, he'll watch through all of it and make sarcastic comments just to make you both laugh; will grin satisfied asf if he manages to do so bc he's the best.

× will definitely want another kid, so how about maybe a boy??? hmm???

× asks you if you're up for the idea and if you agree, he'll roll his eyes and crack his shoulders, acting so very uninterested and purely exhausted yet his smirk would give him away:

× "Knew you'd torture me with another devil"

× throw him out, istg— 💀

First of all, I want to clarify that ever since day one, I've been Darknets!Jungkook #1 hater, you stinky bastard I'm around men like you every day so I'm telling y'all rn if you think this man cares about anyone but himself you're going to be SO disappointed.

Even though as a person who has been to the d@rk web and knows about the stuff that goes on in this story, let me tell y'all this is not the first thing you see as soon as you log in, you have to DIG for this type of stuff, I've personally never seen "chatrooms" (they're more of a urban legend than an actual thing tbh) but there is videos of gore and other nasty stuff, people who do this can't do a live bc it will give away their location, but I like the story a lot, it's def not cringy as other stories (It's still very related to reality, h*man tr@fficking is more common than you'll think) but it's still fiction so that people who don't know about this stuff and how the dark web works can imagine what goes on there, sorry for the rant I just get excited about this topic hehe

Aha yes , finally darknetsJk has some well deserved hate mail! He’s definitely one of the more dislikable yandere characters I’ve written and he does have a very selfish and narcissistic streak to him which I think differs from my other yandere character ( ‘caring’ & savior complex Code Red Jimin & even obsessive & manipulative PolarityJk is a lot kinder to the OC ) I tried to keep his character pretty realistic despite him being a yandere, it definitely wouldn’t make sense to make him a very soft one or too doting giving the sadistic business he’s in. He’s an asshole for sure and a clear product of the disastrous life style he made for himself.

And oh thank you! I’m glad I have someone giving some perspective with personal experience with the d@rk web. That sounds absolutely terrifying and couldn’t imagine ever coming across those types of videos & content. I have heard there’s a lot of misconceptions of the d@rk web so thank you for clearing that up! Yes the ‘chat room’ and ‘live effect’ was definitely added for convenience to the story and as a l dramatic effect to the plot but it’s definitely not realistic so I do hope people know that. I did mention in an earlier ask I think that the probability of you accessing those types of websites is really low so yes I hope nobody is freaked out by that haha.

And thank you so much! 🥺 I try to make my plots pretty realistic and get some information & research beforehand. These human trafficking scenes are triggering but even just the tip of the ice berg from what I’ve seen & researched, it’s definitely gets even more darker than what I’m willing to write at times. And no worries ! I enjoy these discussions, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and input babes ❤️🙏 I appreciate you giving your insight ! :)

(entp x infp relationship & intp x entj relationship)

-------------------------------------------

[at a christmas tree lot, early afternoon, the day before christmas eve]

lot worker: how bout this one? [using one had to carry three foot tall skimpy tree with droopy branches]

entp: ugh what the hell is that?

intp: 😳

entp: is this really the ONLY tree you have left?

lot worker: oh no i just showed you the worst one first. it's the day before christmas eve buddy.

intp: *snickers*

entp: 🙄 i get that, man, but still like there's NOTHING else?

intp: normally they wouldn't be pushy to a probably under paid seasonal worker, but we are kinda desperate.

lot worker: buy your tree earlier?

entp: LOOK i know, ok. I KNOW it's the day before christmas eve and we're looking for a fucking tree. BUT IF WE COULD TONE DOWN THE TUDE AND JUST FIGURE THIS OUT, would be cool ok?

intp: yeah they burned down their significant other's christmas tree and we really need a new one. actually i've been ordered to get a "bigger, better tree"

intp: [talking more to themselves than to the worker, while entp stares at the worker wide eyed like a crazy person] though now i'm thinking about it, i can't remember what the old one looked like so this might be an impossible task...

lot worker: 🤨... rough go, kids, but like i said we're fresh out of a "bigger better" redemption trees. [starts to walk off]

entp: [panic yelling] THIS IS THE THRID LOT WE'VE BEEN TO! WHAT DO WE DO NOW?!

lot worker: maybe get an axe there fire started [laughing as he walks off]

intp: ahahaha

entp: I WILL! ILL DIG ONE OUT WITH MY BARE HANDS IF I HAVE TOO PAL!

intp: [still snickering] fire starter

entp: THATS IT LETS GO!

intp: go where?

entp: [stomping to their jeep] THE FOREST!☝️

intp: we live in the city?? what forest??

entp: WE LIVE IN SEATTLE!! THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST! THE FOREST IS OUT THERE INTP! YONDER THE PINES GROW! LOOK TO THE HORIZON FOR GODSAKE! WE'LL FIND IT!

intp: [looks around] all i see is buildings and a homeless man squatting in that alley... oh god he's not squatting, HE'S NOT SQUATTING. [jumping into jeep as fast as possible]

[after a good two hours of getting lost and having to stop at a hardware store to buy a chainsaw, the xntp twins of chaos find themselves "in the forest"]

intp: are you sure this is far enough from the road? because i can definitely still hear cars also i can kinda see em.

entp: it's fine just help me put the fuel mixture in the chainsaw.

[goes over to hold chainsaw]

intp: oh! ahhh! damn it entp! you're getting gas all over man!

entp: [still pouring] well hold it up more!

[gas mixture going everywhere]

entp: damn it! it's empty! ok it's fine i'm pretty sure i got enough in there for one stupid tree.

intp: ok now, which one...?? i mean these are definitely all bigger and better. they're like 10ft tall. wait we can't do this, it's against the law.

entp: 😐

both: burst out in laughter.😂🤣

entp: ahhh that's a good one intp. ok i say we chop that bad boy down. yeah... he's a looker.

intp: ok so i think we just pull the lil cord thing to start it up, and by we i mean you. [hands entp chainsaw]

entp: i know this is like a super desperate ordeal that's going on, but can i just say i'm so excited to use a chainsaw.

intp: it's like practice for the apocalypse... eek! 😆👐

entp: RIGHT! ok let's start this bad boy up. [pulls cord half way then slips out of hand] damn it, ok i'll try again, it slipped. [does it again, slips again] DAMN IT! MY STUPID HAND'S ALL MOIST FROM THE GAS!

intp: ew.

entp: [wipes hand on pants like a crazy person] ok i dried it. i hope. ok let's get it! [does it again, finally gets it started] YES! LETS SAVE CHRISTMAS!!

intp: [pulging ears] AHHH ITS SO COOL! BUT ALSO SO LOUD!! LIKE REALLY LOUD!

[entp starts in on the base of the trunk, yelling like a mad person as sawdust starts to fly]

[several hours later, now dark out just after the sunset🌅🌃]

intp: [using chainsaw on tree which is still completely upright] ahh! cramp!! cramp!! cramp in arm!!

entp: [holding iphone light on tree] WHAT?! YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR LIKE TWO SECONDS!

intp: ITS BEEN LIKE AN HOUR!!

[neither were correct as it had only been twenty minutes]

intp: ahhh! just take your turn!! my hand is now cramping!

entp: ugh!! fine you big baby, give it to me! just hold the light. [trades intp and starts for actually two seconds and stops, and screams to the heavens] ugh! this is so exhausting! i hate chainsaws! i hate myself! and i hate christmas AND CHRIS ANGEL YOU SWINDLING SON OF BITCH AND YOUR DEFECTIVE MAGIC KITS!!

intp: i wanna go hommmme. chainsaws are not as much fun as i thought, they're loud and heavy and difficult to wield and fuel, also it's dark, i'm cold and i want snack. and nature is gross i mean we should obviously save it and recycle but I HATE BUGS and i just saw a centipede ewww.

entp: I KNOW THAT INTP! but i think the tree is about ready to come down! [counties to chainsaw tree trunk]

intp: [leans against different tree, holding phone light in limp hand. sees something out of the corner of their eye] 😳 um entp...

entp: [can't hear because they're chainsawing and yell ranting] ugh! i will get infp a new tree if it kills me!! ahhh!!

intp: [seeing red and blue flashing lights through trees, coming up path] ummmmm, entp!!

entp: i almost got ittttt!! [chainsaw stutters and stops] NOOOOOO! ITS OUT FUCKING FUEL OHHHH MYYYY GODDDD! CAN THIS CHRISTMAS GET ANY WORSE!!

intp: ENTP!

entp: WHAT?!

[turns to see what intp is looking at, sees cop car pulling up and hears a quick whoop whoop 🚔🚨]

entp: son of bitch.

[cop gets out of car]

cop: you two wouldn't be trying to cut down a tree out here would ya?

entp: [throws chainsaw to their left]

intp: *nervous laugh* ahaha nooo officer, definitely not because- because that would be um- illegal. and- and- and we're good law abiding tax paying... um Seahawks fans. go boys in blue huh..?

entp: 😬

entp: ok, you try and throw that thing it's really heavy.

cop: right well since the tree is still up i'm gonna let you two off with a hefty fine... each. [starts to write on pad]

intp: wooo ok, thank you officer.🙏

entp: 😐

intp: is there... any chance you... didn't see that? 🤔

cop: 😠

intp: 🤓

entp: fuck. me.

to be continued...

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

Comic buff with a thought, I notice the P5MM art and composition is more striking and closer to p5's art and style than the other manga, which is fine, but kinda... flat. (I find myself thinking there's something missing when I read it, then I look back at P5MM and I notice how there's more clever paneling, imagery, and stylistic choices akin to the games in it (like that one goro panel ya had a rant about) and I realize what's missing) That could be why P5MM is brought up more, just a guess. I dunno how you feel about all that though, I'm curious.

Under the cut cause it gets long cause of pictures:

I am very big on art style and visual presentation. I do actually judge a book by it's cover (manga, game, movie, show, yadda). If I find something pleasing to my eye I'll read it.....even if the contents are trash. Domestic Girlfriend is one, horrible manga (didn't finish, was holding out for Momo, aka best girl, and getting closure for her....then I bounced). Didn't watch the anime (didn't need to I was way ahead in the manga I think), but I know that opening is wasted on it. ldskfjaf Don't invest your time into it, it's not worth it, you would probably learn better morals from P5.......probably. But yeah I found the art style pleasing enough to try it out (I's not amazing by any means, but I like looking at it....or did.....that writing man....dat was bad ;w;).... *waves hands vaguely in air* yeah.

Fun fact, it's why I got into Persona. I happened across an ad for P4 on the PS2 in the Gameinformer magazine, it showed a screenshot from an animated cutscene plus one of the fully body art for the chars and I was like "Yes this is my jam!" (which only doubled down when I read what it was about, and it was a murder mystery and the article also talked up "the mystery of the glasses" which fakldjsalkfs yeah). So yeah it really clicked for me.

Tbh it's why I'm probably going to get back into freaking Bleach, and it's why I got into it and Naruto over One Piece (I don't think I'll ever read ON I'm sorry). Tite Kubo has sexy art what can I say? Can't trust a thing that man writes now but eh. It's also the reason I read a lot of Shojo (and now Yuri) manga, cause their art style is usually what I find very appealing (even if I've read the same gd shojo love story just by a different name for the 1000th time, give me the flowers and sparkly eyes! they are my life blood!)

And I've mentioned I really like Saito's art style. I've (attempted) to color some of his pieces on top of animate some manga frames (most of which I haven't actually published......I...I should....get around to finishing those up....haha...aha....haaaa). I really like his art, it's pleasant. But even with good art, I can still see past it and see what BS it's peddling and it can hamper my enjoyment of it. If I don't look at the context of the scene or the words on the page, I can be down with it. But when I'm reading.......I get annoyed. I balk at anything with Goro. I guffaw whenever Makoto's on screen (cause Saito nails her from P5, she acts useful but really she's useless but the narrative views her as useful it ironically makes her useless......it's the weirdest thing I've ever witnessed >.>). Like Saito really.....gets P5 it seems, down to it's flaws even (tho he can actually make the good parts of P5 shine, or at least parts that P5 failed to execute....execute in a way). But he also makes the flaws.....shine that much harder for me.

Now the Reg manga? it's nothing special art style wise, in fact it starts off VERY wonky, and while still wonky, has gotten a lot....better/cuter (esp Ryu). Not like shojo cute just.......I wanna squish their wittle faces cute (at times when it's not serious).

Like when it comes to Reg Manga these are the two pieces that have appeared in it that I feel kinda hit the P5 mark in terms of style:

(look at Mona, coming into this world like the pustule that he is 8U)

Which isn't much, but it's something. At least Reg's AOA is better looking than the anime. 8U

But I dunno, as the chapters go on, the Mangaka allows for more cuter expressions, and I just like their neat:

(btw I colored that page)

I dunno, it's not as overtly cutsey as Saito:

But they are still charming in a more simple way (without out having them go full chibi), it subtle but it gives it flavor. "Silly why are most, if not all those pics of Ryu and Anne?" I dunno guys maybe you should ask them how their backs are doing, cause they're the ones who are carrying the Reg manga when it comes to this! 8U

Tho I do think the first ch or two of Reg does a better job capturing P5's feel than the rest of the chapters, I think the mangaka is just.....bogged down by exposition and the game's BS that a lot of text on their pages so it almost reads like a novel:

ALots of text, not the most dynamic of framing with the panels. It's kinda eh. I haven't really read the manga past the 2nd dungeon tbh (I mean......as the residential #1 Makoto hater, I think that's fair.....that I'd start to zone out during my least fav dungeon....and then continue zoning out during my 2nd least fav dungeon askfdjaflk)

But during the first two dungeon arcs, I liked how.....bad the PT were at thieving, I liked how green they were. It was obviously a learning process. I also like some of the fight choreo (Saito did the best hand to hand one in the series in P4U's Yu vs Sho....which I actually animated....spoiler.....no I have no released that...my dumbass wants to tempt fate and see if I can redo it in color even tho it took me 4 days non stop to get that animated in just black and white.....but I am a fool so alas 8U). I mean it's not mind blowing, but it was simple and decently thought out, which is more than I feel like we usually get (esp with the anime shows....or at least P4/5's).

But I think what draws me in is....it's lack of P5 style. P5 style has them being still oh so cool despite being new at everything. It's tired me out. P5's how identity is style. It's....style over substance (gonna rile some feathers with that....Cvit(?) vid title). But P5 is overtly stylish, to the point it......weighs on me. Drags me down. Tires me out. I don't think they're cool, I'm bored with it. Ironically, Reg manga lacks that, which......def would make someone (and me usually) give it much of a passing glance. It's very basic I guess. But.....consider me, being in P5 hell, surrounded by all it's nausea inducing stylishness, sees a small break in the hellish hurricane to see.......normalcy. It kinda makes me connect better with the kids (kinda, it's still P5).

They feel like normal kids, trying to do their thing (sometimes trying to look/act cool and failing), and.....it's just the absolute antitheses to P5's brand......and I think that's why I like it. KLFJDSAFLKJA;

Anyway, who knows, maybe when I catch up on Reg in english and re-read MM with the official translation I might change my mind about a few things, or at least how I rank them. But for post length sake, and my sanity sake, I think I should keep the anime and mangas out of the "Which entry do you hate least" post......because I should just make another post where I go into both mangas as well as compare and contrast the anime! :D I'm just delaying some insanity for later haha....

Wait.........I just remember Day Breakers exists......and I liked it....still do....don't have much issue with it. Well shit, that is probably the one entry I hate the least. fklsdjfalkjdfkla;jsL;FJljsfdlskafaj *sobs* nO NO, I committed, and that's just a sad loophole. fdklsajflakfj *sobs* I still need to the game thing, cause let's be honest, the games are where it counts.

So right now my ranking for manga/anime is:

Daybreakers>Reg manga> MM>>>>>>>>>>TV Show Anime and it's OVAs (may the burn in the hell fire from which they spawned)

Oh, one last thing, forgot to put it in but I dunno where to put it now. I like how the manga tones down the pervyness some:

I mean Ryu is a fellow monkey. u_u .......but it's for the best I don't have to see his ape expression. ;w; (iirc the pyramid scene was a lot shorter/faster, but that's by the grace of reading and books rather than animation I suppose).

I hihi I am!!! A little nervous w/ doing this bc I've never done this b4 so please bear🐻 w// me💦 May I request a match up? A vision, a romantic partner and maybe a friend and/or enemy? If that's too much feel free to just assign me a vision + partner, ehe/// Preferably male for a romantic match-up, but either gender is fine with a friend and enemy match-up^^ I tried to be as detailed as possible but I think I ended up just ranting, so im v v sorry if it's long! I sort of fluctuate when it comes to being an introvert/extroverted. W// strangers and irl, I'm very introverted and shy!! Rarely speak and if I do it's just the usual "Hi how are you? That's good. I'm good too, thank you for asking:)" yeayea I'm not too. Keen on social interaction irl. But I always do my best to be very nice!! I never wanna come off as mean bc wow what a bad first impression that would be. But with friends / ppl ik online?? Whew I am very very friendly n chatty ^^ Either very high energy or very chill, there's rarely any inbetween. Sometimes I like to jokingly tease my friends but I'd never go too far / make them uncomfortable!! And if I do I always apologize right away!! I like to say that I'm affectionate?? My strongest love language is def physical affection, if not quality time. Idk man there's just something about vibing with someone or hugging them that just aaaaa/// Although I usually display affection w// words of affection bc. Literally most of my friends are online friends so I can't actually hug them, sad times. Idk if this is needed/important info but I just remembered: I'm 5'6 around??? Need glasses bc. Whew i am blind (near sighted), I'm poc (specifically black) anndd, hm. Actually I think thats it for this section, aha. As you can see I'm, not really all that organized. Also I don't have the best attention span - while writing this I'm circling between 4 different apps - and I'm a bit of a mess. And also a little stupid. Just a smidge dumb. But I have my moments - I solved like. 2 puzzles in Inazuma by myself so I think that counts for something. I also find that I tend to talk a whole lot when I have an idea or smthn to say abt a thing I'm super interested in!! That's info-dumping. I info dump. Yes. I also really like to listen to other people talk abt things they like!!!! Its so nice :) I'm protective over people I care about!! I've never done it but 100% would bark at someone who messed with someone close to be. Arf arf yaknow. I tend to he impulsive. I'll do something, and be all "YEAH>:D" and then regret it later. And then I'll do it all over again in a fun little cycle :) I consider myself an optimist, but quickly turn into a pessimist whenever it concerns myself. Fun funfun. Should probably mention that I am. A very insecure person w/ dangerously low self esteem, which is super fun esp when you mix that with the fact that I'm rarely ever motivated to improve. Yayayay Also sort of a pushover?? Like most often than not I'll be convinced to do something, even if I'm not too keen on doing it. Also afraid of confrontation when it comes to my friends and strangers (that is, if it's concerning me!! I'll order smthn for my friend but if I need to order for myself?? uhh stutter time aha). I'm also a mega simp ahah! Srsly though if I fall for someone/get infatuated with someone I. Will be so obvious abt it even though I try very hard not to be. Would gush over that person probably. I don't really like mean people tbh. Like yes I'll be nice and civil with them but!!! I cannot stand!!! Rude people!!! Esp when they're mean for no reason like sir??? maam??? homie??? chill pls ty<3 People who aren't necessarily mean, but moreso have bastard energy and are just really "hehe>:D" but playfully are p poggers tho!!! I think I get along with kids!! I have a little sister,, around like. Nine? And we get along really well!! I also try and match a kid's energy whenever I'm tasked with looking after them. I take pride in the fact that kids like me >:].... even if they sometimes scare me-- Ok, interest time!!

I like art!! Quite a bit!! Less of a realistic artist and more of a cartoonist!! Idk there's just something fun abt drawing cartoons, hehe. I also like self ships - I have quite a bit of them, actually ! Idk its comforting drawings your fictional crushes loving you idkidk. I like writing too! Both original stories, and one-shots or personal fics that are associated with already created media!! Writing character backstories and personalities and stuff is also fun too! I've even made my own fictional world with a full fledged backstory n everything! It's very fun to think about. I'm a day dreamer!!! Yea remember when I said I write stories? I day dream abt potential stories even more. Mmm daydream world so nice so warm so fun I read aswell!! Mostly fantasy books, or stories where animals are the protagonists. Think Warrior Cats. But my favorite book series has got to be Guardians of Ga'Hoole. Fantasy owl books, anyway! X Readers are also things I enjoy reading :) Again, s I m p Also gaming!!! Is something fun I do sometimes!!! Although it's usually Genshin Impact, or Wii Sports/Resort w// my little sister. Oh, also pokemon! I rlly like Primarina, Vaporeon, Sylveon and Vulpix/Ninetails! I absolutely adore sweet foods, and baking is smthn I'm def interested in! Don't like foods w// weird textures though, like beans or mashed potatoes. Also I. Love spice so much. Mmm love it when my mouth burns so bad. Don't have a favorite animal but I've had three cats in my lifetime (btw not important but my current cat is named Sylvester and. He's my baby boy) so I am. A very big cat fan. Probably not needed but I really like sword and claymore characters. Literally all of the characters I main are either sword or claymore users. Although I did get Diona, so I miiight start forcing myself to learn how to aimmm. I see that I tend to like people/characters that are a little more extroverted than me. Upbeat, happy type beat!!! Nice sunshine babies, :) I think thats it! I hope this was good enough? Again, first time doing this (at 2am nonetheless) so forgive me if I got too rambly or did anything wrong ^^ Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this! And I hope your day is good / you had a good day, depending on when you read this, ehe!

Hey! Sorry if the wait has been long! I also love Warrior Cats (I promise myself, one day I'll finish it.)

You received... A Pyro vision! Optimistic, enthusiastic, impulsive, reckless, and a lot of energy are the general characteristics held by the Pyro vision. • I hesitated between the Pyro and Hydro vision, but your energy distinguishes you from the Hydro vision. • You said you were impulsive, always doing something you might regret later but still doing it. • You react quickly: as you said, if somebody hurt someone you love, you won't think twice before barking. Your partner would be... Xingqiu! “This feeling was unexpected.” • At first, you were just friends, and Xingqiu really loved to tease you. Actually, you both teased each other. But eventually, a feeling of love towards you grew into Xingqiu. And that was reciprocated. • Your relationship is filled with teases, jokes, and good/funny moments where you mostly share what you commonly appreciate. • He also knows when to get serious: for example, he does everything to support you during your moments of struggle concerning your self-esteem. Your friend would be... Childe! “Luckily, I'm here!” • You two also share funny moments, especially during situations where your “stupidity” is overtaken by his insight. • Sometimes, he finds you cute. • He likes the fact that you get along well with kids. It leads you to great moments with him and his siblings. • You're quite the opposite in terms of self-esteem. I think it's a good thing because it makes you complementary. Your enemy would be... Albedo! A misunderstanding. • You wouldn't hate each other, but I think Albedo wouldn't like the way you use your energy, and when you're more in a chill mood (meaning you're more available for him to talk), he could get pissed at how much times he'd have to repeat himself for you to understand something. • He's very patient, but he understood quickly that his interests would maybe not be within your reach. • You would just be too different. Worth to mention • You and Venti are like drama queens in Mondstadt. You are good friends. But you both know that you can't be more, as it would eventually both drag you down (because of similar problems). • Klee is also your best friend: both of you share decisions that you definitely will regret later. Or maybe not. • Hu tao and you are kinds of silently competing over who's the best tease, and she beats you. My goal is definitely not achieved. I hope I can catch up tomorrow. And don't worry, it was surprisingly good for a first description!

Boosh asks 7 and 14 (hope these are right numbers, I'm number-dyslexic).

14. Have you seen the Mighty Boosh live?  Nope, never got close to a chance. I’d give an arm and leg to see it now though lol if they EVER DID IT AGAIN! 

7. How did you become acquainted with the Boosh? OH yay!! a chance to talk about my first experiences! my favorite subject. 

WARNING, long rant ahead.

  Let me take ya’ll back to wonderful year of 2006. It was May (oddly enough) and my High School (I was 16 at the time) is hosting its annual May Day fair. That’s not important however, I just wanna set the scene. Those were the days, I thought I was in love (I REALLY wasn’t) and I was on top of the world (as most 16 year old’s tend to think) We (me and my what...two friends? I don’t remember anymore) had gotten bored of the fair and had decided to drive out to the shops. I believe we visited Barnes and Noble, and we ended up at the only (at the time) Panera Bread in the area. 

Now if you know Panera Bread you know they have free wifi, and lots of people like to take their laptops with them. My friend (whom I thought I was in love with) had brought his laptop along and had it set up on the table with Youtube on. This is where I first watched The Legend of Old Gregg. I don’t remember if it was the full episode or just the Gregg clips but I think it was the episode. When ever I watch it now, certain scenes read differently. Like my old memory takes over. Its real weird. ANYWAY. That’s how the Gregg meme entered my life. I knew of the Boosh but I had never seen anything else. I didn’t even know there WAS anything else. I just knew that it was a show. I thought it was older then it was. I had no idea it was BASICALLY NEW AT THAT POINT. I just new Gregg and all the good things that Gregg was. 

THEN, because I was a teenager and fickle I forgot about it (for the most part) because I was in love and the Pirates of the Caribbean two was coming out in two months. 

Fast forward to 2009, fresh from dropping out of community college. I had nothing but time and late nights on my hands. By this point the Boosh was basically over and Adult Swim started airing it (and other BBC shows) on Sunday nights at 1 am. I remember being super excited to see it then, because obviously I knew what it was but I had never seen it cause being an American we don’t get a lot of chances to see these things. Not like I do now where I know where to find it. I remember a lot of stuff freaking me out (in a good way). I got to share it with my brother. We had fun with it. It was a good time. But I still didn’t grasp the cultural enormity of it, or the hidden depths it had. It was still just a silly surreal show that me and my younger brother would quote at each other. 

(almost done, this got long srry)

Okay so, I’d seen pretty much the whole show. (I’m convinced there are episodes I missed but you can’t always catch a show at 1 am on a Sunday) An yeah it was a thing, quoted it. It was there in the background of my TV experience. Like yeah hey I’ve seen that, wonderful.  I joined Tumblr in 2011. Still very much into only just pirates of the Caribbean, and a few other things. I remember seeing a fan blog, like so many of us have now and thinking “oh hey aha this person REALLY likes the Boosh, remember that?? thats fun!”  I followed that blog because I was curious, that was my first moment realizing that there was...something there. 

But that blog soon after deactivated and I forgot about it AGAIN for 17 YEARS (Okay what??) I had a lot going on!? other fandoms! other ships! other fanfics! and yes also some real world issues. Getting a job, learning to drive, falling in and out of love with the SAME PERSON (I hate him) getting my own place to live, etc. THINGS.

Now fast forward REALLY FAST to 2018 and I’ve just moved into my own apartment with my roommate. I wasn’t really into anything at the moment, just small things, and revisiting old fandoms from time to time. (btw I still love Pirates of the Caribbean if your curious, but not like I used to be) An heres where it gets kinda...weird cause I’ve no idea how it happened or WHICH ONE OF YOU DID IT but I found a fanfic. Somehow, idk. Maybe I saw a gif and got curious, by this point I’ve had my Gay Slash Glasses (tm) on for a long long while. So yeah idk but I read a fanfic, maybe two, maybe three, idk its a blur. An then....I found myself watching the epsiodes again (thank you Boosh docs) and well 3 years on i’M STILL HERE!  17 fanfics under my belt and more friends then I’ve ever had in a fandom. 

Now that I had time and the ability I found that it did indeed have a huge impact on culture and had some CRAZY hidden depths. So many things I never knew about if only I had checked back in 2006.  

thank you for coming to my ted talk aboout my Journey Through Time and Space and how long it took me to get here.

hi! i was the anthropology anon aha That sounds super interesting! I'm glad you were able to factor in all your favorite interests into your major/minor ♡ do you have any advice for narrowing your major? Or figuring it out in general? I feel like I'm just not in touch with myself and welp, I have to declare a major soon. Sorry for ranting! I hope you're taking care. I would love to hear more about your major and minor. Sending lots of love 😘☺

hi anthro nonnie! ♡ I think that’s a tough one. There’s a lot of debate between “do what you love” and “do what will make you the money to live.” and I literally can’t fault either because I don’t want to do something I hate for the rest of my life, but I also really want to live in relative stability. Not rich, just stable. 

So I think it’s a good idea to make a list of things you love, and things you are passionate about/want to change in the world, and see how deeply your passion for them goes, and if you can market them. I think you can do most things if you market them hard enough. And that means having good public speaking skills, being able to interview well and sell yourself well, etc!

For instance, I love art very much. It was a hobby that used to consume me. I almost majored in it, but then I decided that I didn’t want the difficulty of trying to make a living out of it to take my joy of it away. I do it a lot less now, but I don’t regret my decision.

Also, some things you can’t plan out--they just come to you! I majored in linguistic anthro with no idea of exactly what I wanted to do with it, just that I loved languages and cultures. Then I had a conversation with a friend I had made in my uni dining hall about how he had been here for 12 years but his mother was still back in Puerto Rico with various health conditions, unwilling to leave her family to come and get proper medical help (which he couldn’t afford anyway) because the US really doesn’t treat PR well despite it being a territory. His friend behind the counter with him, who was African American, said his mother had died from insufficient care despite everything he did to fight for her.

It made me so, so, so angry. And it’s weird, admitting that my desire to be an interpreter is partially fueled by anger, but I think it’s anger with a cause. I’m white, and while I am part of other minority groups, I can often hide the ways I stick out because of my whiteness (except being a woman, I can’t hide that). I do have white privilege and while I’m still learning what it means to be a proper ally to marginalized groups outside of my own, I want to recognize it, be responsible about it, and also use it to help. I speak English natively, and I love languages, and I hate the linguistic, ethnic, racial discrimination that immigrants go through (and citizens, but my anthro focus is on immigration laws and treatment of immigrants), and I want to be someone who helps makes their voices louder and stops people from speaking over them. And I also want them to get equal treatment in hospitals and courtrooms. (I can’t decide if I want to specialize in medical or legal interpreting yet if you haven’t noticed...)

So anyway tl;dr: you gotta find what you’re passionate about and what can sustain you. you’re probably going to have to work hard. Even doctors and lawyers don’t make money just by going down that path--they work their asses off, go through a lot of stress and debt, and a lot of schooling. So if you’re passionate about that, it’s going to be so much easier to get through the hard parts. If you’re not, trust me, there’s other ways to make money. It is important, I won’t discount it, but being passionate about whatever you go into is important too.

ALSO tl;dr 2: make a list/write about it. It’s hard to feel “in touch with yourself” if you don’t take time to process your thoughts.

I hope this helped nonnie? Please feel free to ask me again if you want to bounce ideas off of me or need something else clarified!

Ancient jewish puns

[3:59:44 AM] neubauje: lol you should have seen me today

[4:00:07 AM] neubauje: I went on a mini-rant about my "own" religion to my innocent bystander friends

[4:00:17 AM] neubauje: they didn't say a WORD

[4:00:32 AM] Spazfox: Fun times.

(this is where I would insert a line break if I knew how)

Nie, [25.04.17 13:56][throws cold ham at]

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 13:56]um

Nie, [25.04.17 13:57]Thats what im eating

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 13:57]what's ham made out of dumbass

Nie, [25.04.17 13:57]Pork, but last i checked you didnt eat kosher

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 13:57]bruh I haven't eaten pork in 10+ years

Nie, [25.04.17 13:58]Bruh you never told me that

Nie, [25.04.17 13:58]Just that you hated bacon

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 13:58]and what is bacon made of

Nie, [25.04.17 13:58]You can hate bacon without hating pork dumbass

Nie, [25.04.17 13:58]Dont try to guilt trip me for you not tellin me shit lol

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 13:59][ 😟 Sticker ]

Doom, [25.04.17 13:59]Funny story that shows my Spanish has clearly deteriorated. So I'm at a cafe and they have 'pata' for sale and I'm like 'ah, a duck sandwich. I fucking love duck I'll have it'. So there I am happily eating my sandwich and my mum pops back from some sort of appointment and she's like 'you know that's pig's foot right?'. Pata means foot. Pato is duck.

Nie, [25.04.17 14:00]LOL

Doom, [25.04.17 14:00]I was wondering why it was so fatty and stringy

Nie, [25.04.17 14:01]well now you know you like the taste of pata

Nie, [25.04.17 14:01]Maybe not the texture though

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:23]I don't prefer most pork things, but I'll eat it if that's what's for lunch iykwim

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:23]Keeping kosher is waaay too much trouble in america

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:24]And I do like a good cheeseburger

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 14:24]pork is the easiest to avoid so that's what I cut out

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 14:24]but you'll pry my cheese and meat tacos from my cold dead hands

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:24]What about shrimp and catfish

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 14:24]never been a fan of seafood

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:25]Well there you go

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:25]What I always found ridiculous about keeping kosher is the "building a wall around the torah" aspect... When they build a wall around the wall and then a wall around that wall

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:27]Like they take the line "don't boil a calf in its mother's milk" and instead of taking away "hey maybe we shouldn't be unnecessarily cruel and thoughtless to animals" they ended up with "don't mix milk with meat"

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:27]Including chicken meat, which doesn't even lactate??

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:27]Noooo problem mixing chicken meat with eggs though

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:28]As for which animals are/are not kosher? Totally arbitrary. They were based on classifications at a time when bats were still considered birds

Randy Skayvage, [25.04.17 14:29]Not necessarily. If you consider it in terms of which foods would/wouldn't spoil quickly or have the potential to be dangerous health-wise.

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:29]At the time? Maybe. These days, no longer relevant

neubauje, [25.04.17 14:30]But that's all the ranting about my own religion that I have time for right now I got to be going to work

[4:04:25 AM] neubauje: do NOT feel obligated to read all that

[4:04:31 AM] neubauje: the top bit is mostly for context

[4:04:55 AM] neubauje: as it turns out, I still silently hold a grudge against my more conservative family members

[4:06:39 AM] neubauje: the reasonings they give for still being as observant as they are have always seemed like indoctrinated bullshit based mostly in faith and tradition

[4:07:03 AM] neubauje: like, I GET tradition? as in, a way to spiritually connect with your ancestors? but like... there's a line, yo.

[4:07:16 AM] neubauje: and faith, I just have zero patience for

[4:07:33 AM] Spazfox: It's almost like rules dreamed up in the bronze age and sold as being holy are kinda dumb. :P

[4:07:45 AM] neubauje: almost!!

[4:07:56 AM] Spazfox: Bats are birds, ya know.

[4:08:02 AM] neubauje: -_-

[4:10:37 AM] neubauje: so do I consider myself jewish? kinda. if one can be a secular jew, that's what I am. in the spirit of understanding and acknowledging my ancestry, I learn the history, I learn the rules and the reasons, I learn the Hebrew. but I make my own decisions and lifestyle from there thank you very much.

[4:10:51 AM] neubauje: and honestly, if you ask me, the best parts of Judaism are all about that kind of mindset anyway

[4:31:28 AM] neubauje: aha, after doing some more research on the passage in question, I see now that there are TWO words in the "birds not to eat" section which both have very little context elsewhere in the torah... so scholars are pretty much guessing that at least one of them means "bat" but they aren't sure which one, and what the other one would be

[4:31:53 AM] neubauje: that's the trouble with dead languages :/

[4:32:28 AM] neubauje: I wanna know how they managed to figure out what the Hebrew word for "hyrax" was... I don't recall there ever being any other context for a hyrax

[4:32:57 AM] Spazfox: You know, somebody should come up with a method for working out how the world actually functions instead of just using guesswork and folk wisdom.

[4:33:07 AM] neubauje: you mean science?

[4:33:16 AM] Spazfox: Something like that.
