this one is the painful one i talked about:

visitations by var_abelasan (12K, wip, divorced wangxian, post divorce, most of this is angst, uhm lowkey don't but also do want wangxian to end up together, it's messy, the jiangs & lans are shitty, wwx was in prison (brief mentions of that but it's kind of a major plot point), mxy & xy are the little brothers he never wanted but wwx picked them up anyways)

"Wei Ying-" Lan Zhan says, stutters, "I'm sorry." 

And now Wei Wuxian sees it, the red rimming Lan Zhan's eyes, the rumpled edges of his blazer. There is an old, familiar urge for him to reach over, to hold Lan Zhan's hand and smooth his hair, to tell him that everything will be fine. 

"We're all a bit sorry about this, I think," he says instead, and finds that he means it. For Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji and everyone else in that Guanyin temple, the pain must be unbearably fresh, like skin just flayed open. But Wei Wuxian's chest had been cracked open a long time ago, his wounds licked and cauterized and sewn shut over five long years - Ever hurting, but a dull, constant ache, "It's really alright, Lan Zhan."

 

Five years after being accused of corporate espionage and losing everything, the Guanyin Scandal breaks open and Wei Wuxian finds a familiar face at his door.

please don't let me be misunderstood by sysrae (3K, partly deaf!wwx, lwj notices, nobody else does though, idk wwx is like made out of fucking steel or some shit)

Lan Wangji has known Wei Ying for a fortnight, the first time he sees him get hit by a car.

light by redkosmos (10K, blind!lwj, which causes angst, but they manage it, best friends to lovers, fluff, lwj being insecure and feeling like a burden, college au kind of? but it doesn't matter too much)

The realization slowly dawns on him.

He can never again see the brightness of Wei Ying's eyes, the way they crescent when he smiles, never again see the rich black of his hair, the mess of it in the early mornings, never again see the beautiful tan of his skin, the beauty of the scars and marks adorned on it, how he wears his clothes, how it hugs his frame beautifully, how he looks like he's adorably swimming in cloth when he wears Lan Zhan's, and-

(Lan Zhan loses his vision in a car accident and learns to cope with it.)

don't leave me by trippinonskies (19K, brief very brief mention of lwj cheating, he doesn't but wwx is afraid lwj is cheating on him or just wants to break up with him, (he doesn't), marriage proposal, lwj acting distant = wwx's insecurities show up, fluff, angst and comfort)

Lan Zhan! Where are you lost today?” Wei Wuxian finally asks, at the end of his patience.

Lan Zhan looks a little guilty as he looks at Wei Wuxian, “Sorry, just a lot of work to deal with.”

Lie.

If there is one thing Lan Zhan can’t do, it’s lying. Especially to Wei Wuxian. But he doesn’t question Lan Zhan. He just accepts the reply, too scared to know that he is right. Too scared to know the truth.

// or where Lan Zhan is too hung up in planning the perfect proposal and ends up accidently ignoring Wei Wuxian making the other think that he wants to break up //

want you closer by xiaobucephalus ((3K, HORSES, only in the background tho, but wwx is an equestrian vet, which is so fucking valid bro, the lans own horses, a sick bunny, lwj the bunny parent!, super cute, dark bay throughoutbred chenqing is honestly so valid)

“Thank you,” Lan Zhan said, breathing a sigh of relief.

“Don’t thank me, Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying laughed again, his voice warming the chill of fear that had settled in his chest. “I’ve been looking for an excuse to get into your hutch for a while anyway.”

safe in your thoughts by anonymous (20K, it's a cherry magic au???? (i haven't watched it, but you have i think?), horny lwj but only for wwx (always for wwx))

Wei Wuxian learns three very important things on the night of his twenty-seventh birthday.

One, that Lan Wangji is ridiculously funny, which Wei Wuxian had known before but what Wei Wuxain hadn’t expected was Lan Wangji to be funny at his brother’s expense.

Two, that Wei Wuxian had finally gone mad, absolutely mental at the ripe age of twenty seven because nothing else would explain the third thing he had learnt.

Third, and the most unbelievable of the lot, that Lan Wangji wants to fuck him.

iura by yoo_im_finally_writing (1K, only added bcs op is right and wwx would've the cutest german accent, it's more fun if you understand german so hit me up if you want translations for the german sentences)

Wei Ying calls in the middle of the night to talk about German law, and Lan Zhan tries very hard not to fall asleep. Or at least, not to let Wei Ying notice he's falling asleep. (As best friends do.)

breathe in the air, the last of its kind by wereworm / @neverdoingmuch (27K, getting together, jealous!lwj, but also kind of supportive, brief mention of cheating bcs of miscommunication, no actual cheating tho, college au, lwj pov)

Following Wei Ying’s line of sight, Lan Wangji can barely prevent a smile from crossing his lips when he sees the short row of rabbit statuettes placed at the front of the display. Silver, with bright gems for eyes, they look elegant yet lively and animated.

“A-Yuan would love one of those,” Wei Ying murmurs, almost as if to himself.

Lan Wangji frowns; the rabbits, while cute, don’t seem like a suitable gift for Wei Ying’s A-Yuan.

...

It’s only when he glances back at the rabbits and notices what has been placed on display behind them, that the pieces fall into place. They’re engagement rings, there’s no doubt about it. Lan Wangji feels his heart sink – Wei Ying isn’t just dating A-Yuan, he wants to propose to him.

Or: the five times Lan Wangji thinks that A-Yuan is Wei Ying’s boyfriend and the one time he learns the truth.

paint smears on sunny days by snowshadowao3 / @angstsexual (53K, getting together, art teacher!wwx, single parent!lwj, they're rich if i remember right, wwx & lwj are both good with kids!!!, this is so good actually, fluff)

To say that he runs to his car would be incorrect, as he is a Lan, and running is both undignified and unnecessary unless in immediate danger. Nor does he slam his key into the ignition, or aggressively swerve around the cars on the freeway, or have a mild panic attack at the fact he is picking A-Yuan up late from school for the first time ever.

He comes close, though.

By the time he arrives, it’s 4:35PM, and he has imagined about fifty different worse-case scenarios. The door is partly open when he gets to it, a messy label of 104B—Art Room scrawled with chalk on a placard next to the faded wood. As he opens it fully, he expects to see a wailing, terrified child, or perhaps a scene of utter misery and betrayal.

What he finds is his son, hands covered in paint, being sung to by a beautiful, dark-haired stranger.

“Ducks live in the pond, yellow ducks, happy ducks!”

Lan Wangji stops in his tracks.

(Or: Falling in love with your son’s art teacher, in five parts)

“Lan Zhan!” Wei Wuxian cornered his friend one week before his birthday. “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?”

Lan Wangji furrowed his brow at Wei Wuxian, not exactly sure how to answer that question in a truthful manner that didn’t involve confessing his undying love for his best friend.

Wei Wuxian is on a mission to get Lan Wangji the perfect gift for his birthday. What Wei Wuxian doesn't know is that the only thing Lan Wangji truly wants is him.

"Lan Zhan, do you like Mianmian?" asked Wei Wuxian.

Lan Wangji blinked, and stared. It was not the first time Lan Wangji had questioned the perceptiveness of the boy he had a crush on. Wei Wuxian had been smart in the class they had taken together. Yet time and time again, Wei Wuxian had tested the old wisdom that there are no stupid questions.

Lan Wangji must figure out how to confess when Wei Wuxian is the most oblivious person he's ever met.

Lan Zhan wakes up and he has no idea where he is.

There are bright lights and his jaw hurts, he doesn't who this man next to his bed is but oh he might be in love, maybe, probably, definitely.

“It beeps.”

“That’s… what they generally do, yes.”

“The beeps change,” Lan Wangji continues, “when others are around.”

It took Lan Wangji a long time to realize he was cursed. Too long really, anyone else would have noticed so much sooner. The problem was, he liked following the rules.

Ella Enchanted AU that no one needed but I wanted.

hello my old heart, how have you been? by ravenditefairylights (10K, amnesia, fluff, wwx taking care of lwj, so much fluff and softness, angst too but not that much)

The issue is, Lan Wangji brings his thoughts back before they stray too far, that it is impossible for someone to be in his bed, unless Lan Wangji himself invited them. He has not. He would remember doing so, and besides, all his night clothes are still on and there is no headache to imply that he was inebriated last night. No, the situation is simple.

There is someone in Lan Wangji’s bed. It is impossible for anyone to be in Lan Wangji’s bed, and yet that doesn’t seem to have stopped the stranger.

or lan wangji wakes up, and wei ying is there. he doesn't understand how or why, and he can understand even less why his hallucination of wei ying is so insistent on bathing him, and braiding his hair, on holding him and fixing his clothes. why the hallucination of wei ying seems so happy to see him.

"I do not wish to leave my future spouse… dissatisfied with my intimate knowledge,” Lan Zhan says, very seriously. “I am hoping to find an instructor, to better prepare myself for such matters."

Wei Ying feels his mouth drop open. He's pretty sure the Second Jade of Lan just told him he's a virgin who wants to learn how to do sex good.

Rogue Cultivator Wei Wuxian is the stuff of local legends. Some of those legends are even true! The ones about his tremendous experience in bed, on the other hand, are not so true. Which becomes a problem when Lan Wangji, on the verge of an arranged marriage and worried he won’t know how to please his future spouse, enlists Wei Ying's help to teach him the art of love-making. Wei Ying's great at improvisation, though, and is pretty sure he's got this sex mentor thing under control. What could possibly go wrong

of god: my love unholy by tunnelodfawn (3K, tw blood / war, dark!lwj, god!wwx, kind of poetry)

Lan Zhan takes everything as a sign from his god. The blood staining his fingertips—a holy anointment. He sanctifies himself through blood. The strings of his guqin gleam red in the sun—a divine blessing. This is an instrument of destruction. A single note—a cry of power—and in this note the voice of his god unravels the earthly threads tethering man to earth.

The Yiling Patriarch blesses Lan Zhan with war. Wei Wuxian blesses Lan Zhan with agility. Wei Ying blesses Lan Zhan with love.

The base of the Yiling Patriarch’s shrine is the home of Lan Zhan’s knees. He worships. There is something of the blasphemous and the unholy in his prayers. He prays not for victory but for the sight of Wei Ying. Bless me with your presence, he begs.

Or, wherein, Lan Zhan bridges the gap between the mortal and the divine—the worshipper and the god—with blood.

Lan Wangji gritted his teeth, wishing to just be left alone. "I am looking for my soulmate," he ground out.

"Oh."

It took Lan Wangji a few moments to realize that Wei Wuxian had stopped following him. When he looked back, the other boy seemed to be frozen to the spot, eyes wide and lips still parted. He quickly looked away when he saw Lan Wangji looking back. "I see. Well, have a good trip!"

--

At six years old, Lan Zhan met his soulmate on the streets of Yiling and promptly lost him again.

At sixteen years old, Lan Wangji met his betrothed and was determined not to like him.

(I saw this trend going around on Facebook and just wanted to do a little something with it for Kakashi + Rei 💕) 

#Valentines Share your story! Valentine’s Day is coming! 

Here’s our story:

How’d you guys meet? “We grew up next door to each other” Kakashi smiled. “Our parents were friends, so we were friends.” 

First Date: “I think our first official date” Rei started, “was Kokana Grill, that super fancy hibachi place.” Her cheeks blushed as she shook her head and laughed. “You were really trying to win me over, weren’t you?” 

Kakashi rubbed the back of his neck and shrugged. “I just wanted to take you someplace nice is all.” 

How long have you been together: Rei snorted. “Officially, or in general?” she asked. “I’m pretty sure I’ve lost count.” 

Furrowing his brows, Kakashi counted on his fingers before answering, “Six years dating, right?” 

“Your guess is as good as mine” Rei replied. 

Age difference: “I’m two and a half years older” Kakashi replied. 

Who was interested first: Rei and Kakashi blinked and looked at each other quizzically. They honestly weren’t quite sure. “Well, I know I’ve cared about you since I first met you” the Copy Ninja started slowly, “But we were just kids.” 

“I always hoped we’d end up together, even back then” Rei replied. “But I don’t know when I started feeling that way. I think I just always did. But again, we were kids, so it wasn’t quite the same.” 

“Well, when you joined the ANBU” Kakashi continued, “I had feelings for you, but I definitely had a hard time accepting them until that training mission gone south at the Forest of Death.” 

“I think that was when I realized you still cared about me” Rei nodded. “You remembered Aisuruhito, and you looked at me differently that day.” 

Kakashi smiled softly at the memory, then snapped back to reality. “So, to answer your question, I’d say we were both interested at the same time.” 

Who is taller: “Him” Rei grumbled, crossing her arms across her chest and pouting. 

Who said I love you first: “Also him” Rei answered, her face now softening. 

Most impatient: Without a single word, Kakashi pointed to his fiancée. Rei grimaced up at him and slapped him playfully on the arm. 

Most sensitive: “I think the answer to the last question is significant enough evidence for this one” Kakashi joked. 

Loudest: Brushing the long bangs back out of her face, Rei pursed her lips and replied, “One time when I was, like, fourteen, someone called the cops on me because I was too loud and they thought I was being kidnapped. So I’m going to say it’s probably me.” 

Most Stubborn: Kakashi wrapped an arm around Rei as he replied, “Rei is one of the most resilient and steadfast women I’ve ever met. She doesn’t give up no matter what. The fact that she took her lack of support and used it to fuel her progression as a kunoichi, and not only that but progress all the way to captain of the ANBU black ops, is incredibly admirable.” Rei’s cheeks burned as she buried her face in his chest, flattered. 

Falls asleep first: “I feel like it’s probably Kakashi” Rei answered. “But we’re both pretty weird when it comes to sleep.” 

Kakashi nodded. “I think it’s safe to say we both have some insomniac tendencies.” 

Cooks better: “Oh god, absolutely Kakashi” Rei enthused. “He’s tried to teach me his ways but I’ll never be as good in the kitchen as him.” 

Better morning person: “I’d say Kakashi” Rei replied. “He runs late for everything, but he’s way better at getting up early than I am. I’ve overslept so many damn times, sooner or later Lady Tsunade is just going to confiscate the snooze button from me.” 

Most competitive: “Definitely Rei” Kakashi chuckled. “Again, she never gives up until she gets what she wants. She definitely gets heated in battle.” 

Rei tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear and averted her gaze. “I mean...I do have to admit that my temper is a little shorter than average.” 

Funniest: “Kakashi is a lot funnier than he gets credit for” Rei replied. “He seems really cool and serious but when we’re alone, he has me in stitches. He’s really good with situational humor.”  

Where do you eat out most as a couple? “Maybe Ichiraku, or that takeout place around the corner” Kakashi replied. 

“Their subuta is really delicious” Rei added. “It’s one of my favorite comfort foods.” 

Who is more social? “We’re both pretty introverted” Rei replied. “We don’t really go out much, unless it’s with Sekkachi and Guy.” 

“I’d say we both have a good amount of friends, though” Kakashi continued. “But with jobs like ours, we make a lot of connections.” 

Who is the neat freak? “I am, admittedly, a total slob” Rei confessed. “I wouldn’t say Kakashi is a neat freak, necessarily, but he definitely does a much better job of keeping our place clean than I do.” 

“You’re getting better, though” Kakashi smiled. “You’ve improved a lot since we moved in together.” 

Where was your first kiss? Kakashi laughed awkwardly. “It was on the roof of our old apartment building” he replied.

“It was all very romantic” Rei laughed. 

Who initiated your first kiss? Rei paused for a moment before hesitantly answering “...Pakkun.” 

“Yeah...all the ninja hounds, really” Kakashi added.

Do you get flowers often? “Sometimes” Rei replied. “I really love flowers, but I also take them a lot more seriously than other girls do, I think.” 

“Rei has this incredible jutsu” Kakashi started, and Rei’s heart swelled at the love in his eyes as he explained. “She tethers others chakras to different plants as a way to keep tabs on her loved ones. Because of the chakra link, the flowers can reflect that person’s morale, so if someone is in danger or sick, the flowers will start to wilt and Rei will know that something is wrong. Likewise, if the flowers are thriving, she’ll know that whoever’s chakra is tethered to that plant is thriving, too.” 

“I don’t do this stuff for just anyone, though” Rei continued. “So I treat flowers really carefully and am really specific on what kinds are assigned to who. Hanakotoba and all that good shit. It’s, uh...it’s kind of complicated, I guess.” 

How long did it take to get serious? “We’ve had some ups and downs” Rei admitted, “But after a brief break-up, I think it was only a few months later that Kakashi proposed.” 

Kakashi nodded, taking Rei’s hand in his. “I knew that I couldn’t afford to lose her ever again.” 

Plans date night? “Definitely Kakashi” Rei replied. “He’s better at sorting everything out than I am. If I had it my way, we’d be ordering takeout in our underwear every night.” 

“Which, by the way” Kakashi interjected, “Is also a very valid dinner plan.” 

Rei rolled her eyes, muttering under her breath, “You just like any excuse to see me with my pants off.” 

Who picks where you go to dinner? “It’s a mutual decision” Kakashi said. “It depends on what we’re both in the mood for.” 

Who is the first one to admit when they’re wrong? “I’d say Kakashi” Rei replied. “I feel like it can be really hard for me to own up to my mistakes, even if I feel really guilty about fucking shit up.” 

Who wears the pants in the relationship? Rei smirked and shook her head, her cheeks reddening. “If you ask me, I think we both prefer our pants off” she joked. Kakashi’s face turned beet red under his mask. 

Who cries more? “I’d say I do” Rei replied. “I think in general I’m just a lot more emotional, or at least outwardly.” 

Who sings better? “Definitely Kakashi” Rei immediately answered. “He secretly has a great voice.” 

Spends the most? “I think we’re both pretty good about finances” Kakashi said. “There isn’t much we buy for ourselves outside of books.” 

“Though you would spend a ton of money on anything Icha Icha” Rei replied, poking Kakashi playfully in the cheek. 

Did you go to the same school? Rei nodded. “We both went to the academy, but not at the same time. He had already graduated by the time I started.” 

Where is the furthest you two have traveled? “We’ve gone to lots of places for work” Rei replied, “But I can’t really remember the furthest we’ve ever travelled.” 

“It can be hard to keep track” Kakashi admitted.

hey, the jeweller richard series, is it GAY gay or is it just bait?

Hi anon.

You want a simple answer? It’s not BL or yaoi - it isn’t marketed as such, and it doesn’t have the trappings of BL - the series is not about a romantic or sexual relationship between two men. So if you want confessions and kissing and all that stuff, you won’t find it here.

But as to whether it’s queerbait? Absolutely not.

A real answer requires a more detailed discussion.

The relationship between the two leads is absolutely a romantic one. It’s just a slow-burn romance. And the anime does tone down the romantic element to a degree, but in part that’s because it takes away the narration of the novels, which are written from Seigi’s point of view and show just how smitten he is with Richard. But even then, it’s not him saying ‘I’m secretly in love with this guy’. It’s implied, through the things he says and thinks about Richard, and just the way he’s so fixated on the guy from day one.

The relationship isn’t what drives the plot; rather, the plot is what allows the relationship to develop. The plot, over several novels (very much condensed in the anime) is about two people from seemingly different worlds, brought together by happenstance, who get to know each other through the work they do together and who become each other’s most important person.

The anime and novels absolutely acknowledge that same-gender relationships deserve the same validity as heterosexual relationships - episode 2 is specifically about that, so it’s not a ‘world where there is no gay or straight’ like Yuuri On Ice.

If you want the full gay experience, you’ll need to read the novels. I don’t know how much the anime is going to give us, but it’s made it clear enough that the two leads are more than friends. It’s just...subtle. It feels genuine, like how a relationship would develop in real life. It’s even referenced in one of the later novels (not a major spoiler) as a character mentions that, where he’s from, relationships often don’t come with confessions, but tend to start with two people who become very close and eventually describe themselves as ‘going out’.

The anime is full of romantic coding - both the OP and ED are romantic ballads with images that frame Richard and Seigi as a pair, either in the same shot or with matching eyelines to imply they’re looking at each other. They are frequently seen eating or drinking together, and are usually there to support the other during challenges or difficult times. The anime has skipped or glossed over some things, like a particular set of teacups  - white with a single gold band - which were gifted to the two of them and which they will only use when they’re alone, although we see Richard drinking from said cup in the anime. The novel also has more than one moment when they’re mistaken for lovers, and each of the early cases in the anime foreshadows some aspect of their developing relationship, from Richard’s stance on LGBTQIA acceptance, to valuing a person for their character rather than their looks, and allusions to their troubled pasts which brought them to where they are now.

So if by ‘Gay gay’ you mean confessions and kissing and sex, then no. 

But it’s absolutely not bait. As a queer person myself, I am finding this one of the most realistic and most loving and respectful depictions of a romantic same-sex relationship I’ve ever come across in any medium (hence my obsession!). I’ve made a few analytical posts about how well it does this (check my ‘the case files of jeweler richard’ tag).

Way back when I’d only seen a preview and read a synopsis, back in December, I jokingly described the series as ‘Gentle Gay Adventures’. Turns out I was absolutely right.

[go-diane-winchester]

Why many Misha fans want haters and non fans to kill themselves.

I was scratching my head for awhile wondering why Misha's fans behave the way they do.  Now I think I might be starting to get a partial clue about that.  He is like a cult leader, because unlike Jensen and Jared who just want to be known for the work that they get paid to do, Misha has more time on his hands and uses it to constantly stay in contact with his fans so that their attention is never diverted from him.   I found a Psychology Today article that made me smirk.  The article is written in the context of a dangerous cult leader but Misha is not that.  He doesn't use aggression.  He uses sympathy.  He puts him in victim mode so that his fans will feel the need to protect him.  Remember that mockumentary that made his fans feel sorry for him?

He has also put himself in the position of an authority figure who has an opinion about charity, the LGBT, slash fiction, feminism and politics amongst other things.  He rarely speaks about the canon aspects of his character and the canon of Supernatural.  And yet he was a director.  His sub group of fans, especially destiel fans, would not have gotten any attention from him, had he been a normal, agenda free individual.  Because he does something as unusual as giving slash fans attention, they latch onto him because they are not going to get that attention elsewhere.  Hellers and minions identify with Misha because he presumably cut himself on the thigh as a ''fat'' child.  I have seen some of his childhood pictures.  He was not fat.  Quite a cutie actually.  Cutters will therefore identify with him even though, he has told many lies about his childhood. 

These are some of the traits that Psychology Today listed.  I had to remove some that fit a dangerous cult leader more than the sympathy junkie that Misha is.  There are some that don't have additional information in bold, because although they feel like Misha traits, I don't have a pinpoint example.  Or there are too many examples.  If you wish to contribute to the updating of this list, please let me know. 

He has a grandiose idea of who he is and what he can achieve. [He refers to himself as an Overlord]

Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, or brilliance. [Used Gish to break Guinness World records] 

Demands blind unquestioned obedience. [calls his fans minions.  A minion are a servile or unimportant follower or underling of a powerful person] 

Requires excessive admiration from followers and outsiders. [Expected fiction authors to write stories about him for free]

Has a sense of entitlement - expecting to be treated special at all times. [wanted to be in the TVGuide graphic despite having no right to be on it]

Is arrogant and haughty in his behavior or attitude.

Has an exaggerated sense of power (entitlement) that allows him to bend rules and break laws. [wants NASA to do Gish related things for him in outerspace.  Admitted to stealing passes from the White house]

Takes sexual advantage of members of his sect or cult. [pandering destiel, and asking Gish participants to do half naked challenges despite knowing that there might be underage participants]

Is hypersensitive to how he is seen or perceived by others. [During the Giving Back Tour, a con headed by him only and not J2, he pitched up only on the Sunday, the way that the leads do for their cons, perhaps to be percieved as a lead himself.  They have a valid reason.  They are working till the last minute.  He had no reason to not be present from Friday evening.  He wants to be like J2.  That con flopped. - thanks for reader inputs because I didn't know this.] 

Publicly devalues others as being inferior, incapable, or not worthy. [calls destiel shippers perverts]

Makes members confess their sins or faults publicly subjecting them to ridicule or humiliation while revealing exploitable weaknesses of the penitent. [pointed out the lap dancer, while she was asking a question and showed the butt plug for no reason even though he could have reported the lapdancer and refused the butt plug]

Has ignored the needs of others, including: biological, physical, emotional, and financial needs. [no support for J2 during the Nolacon scandal, or for Jared during various heller attacks, but spoke up for Danneel because it secures heller sexual fantasies - I have an inkling that HatersOfDanneel might be minions which is why he stopped them, to show her how supportive he is.  Who knows, maybe he set up to do this, so he could rescue her.]

Is frequently boastful of accomplishments. [the receipts can fill a book]

Needs to be the center of attention and does things to distract others to insure that he or she is being noticed by arriving late, using exotic clothing, overdramatic speech, or by making theatrical entrances. [like the chair gag at Comic Con which garnered sympathy from fans, and constantly drawing lewd attention to himself during panels where he is with others.  He didn't like sharing a panel with Sebastian Roche, because Sebastian can out-crass him, and is obligated to sit through a Jared panel because Jared can also be provocative if he so wishes, but enjoys being in a panel with the sexually restrained Jensen, perhaps because it puts him in a powerful position.  And he seldom just steps on stage.  He must say or do something first:  like an accent or something similar.  Once he wore a severely torn T shirt under his jacket and made sure he showed everyone on stage.  The man cant afford a T shirt?]

Doesn’t seem to listen well to needs of others, communication is usually one-way in the form of dictates. [called Jensen a motherf*cker, for speaking unfavorably about his scenes with Cas being decreased] 

Haughtiness, grandiosity, and the need to be controlling is part of his personality. [constantly waving rules set by the CW and CE, for example telling people about the ''I love you'' line, even though he was told not to.  He doesn't follow the rules that others are humble enough to follow.]

Behaves as though people are objects to be used, manipulated or exploited for personal gain. [asked Dean and Cas cosplayers to make out for his leery pleasure]

When criticized, he tends to lash out not just with anger but with rage. [there is a gif somewhere of him telling a critical con guest:  I don't appreciate your tone when she told him he was queer baiting.] [Edit: A wonderful fan sent me the pictures - Thanks]

Anyone who criticizes or questions him, is called an “enemy''. [calls non-minions haters]

Acts imperious at times, not wishing to know what others think or desire. [smashed a Boba Fett cake in Jared's face, without notifying him that the cake was from a fan and was painstakingly made for Jared's birthday.  The cake was inedible after that, and Jared profusely apologized to the fan.  How hurt she must have been.  Misha took the cake on stage, when he had no business to - Edit: thanks to an awesome reader for this input.  I forgot about it, even though it had ticked me off when I learned the truth] 

Is superficially charming.  [Sometimes he cant even muster up a smile at his photo op, unless it is a Cockles one.  He cant even pretend to like his fans]

Habitually puts down others as inferior and only he is superior.  [again minion and pervert.  Jokes that Jensen and Jared got their jobs on the basis of their looks.]

Has a certain coldness or aloofness about him that makes others worry about who this person really is and or whether they really know him. [when he hugged JDM, fans in the background cheered, and Misha looked at them, shook his head in a fed up, irritated manner before focusing at JDM]

Is deeply offended when there are perceived signs of boredom, being ignored or of being slighted.  [told off a fan who said she wasn't supposed to be attending his panel.  She was supposed to be asleep.  She was called because her name ended up on the question line up.  He was so angry, he didn't let her speak.  That transcript is difficult to read.]

Treats others with contempt and arrogance.

Is constantly assessing for those who are a threat or those who revere him.  [SPN Anti-Bullying Twitter is the most communist thing I have ever seen.  It only seeks out Misha critics and does away with them.  Its like communism, fandom style.  Misha is in close contact with Emily Cleghorn who runs this page and participates in Gishwhes.]

The word “I” dominates his conversations. He is oblivious to how often he references himself. [With Misha it might be the opposite.  He tries to project a kicked puppy personality.  Watch his body language carefully]

Hates to be embarrassed or fail publicly - when he does he acts out with rage.  [Just drink your effen water and get off the stage - could be a joke, or could be something else.  Its was said to Jensen who laughed about it, but you never know how he perceived this outburst.]

Doesn’t seem to feel guilty for anything he has done wrong nor does he apologize for his actions.  [Didn't apologize for slavery or roofie joke]

Believes he possesses the answers and solutions to world problems.  [Gishwhes is more about his ego, wasting food and stripping down to nothing, for his enjoyment more than anything else.  But he thinks it will solve problems.  Other than creating a spectacle, and reaching the attention of Larry King, it doesn't seem to do any good because what good could the Record breaking largest number of people dressed as French maids do to better the world.  And he waste food, whilst taking part in a marathon to end child hunger.  He doesn't realize how hypocritical that is]

Believes himself to be a deity or a chosen representative of a deity. [Haha, I don't know if bragging about being accused of being the anti-Christ counts, because what decent person brags about that.  Just added it here, as a laugh.]

Rigid, unbending, or insensitive describes how this person thinks.  [Made Jensen tell the story, during their Jib panel, that made Jensen break down earlier - bashed the Bible]

Tries to control others in what they do, read, view, or think. 

Seems to be highly dependent of tribute and adoration and will often fish for compliments.  [wanted fiction writers to write a story about him for free - this is worth a second mention because of how arrogant it is]

Uses enforcers or sycophants to insure compliance from members or believers.  [Has journalists in media outlets like Geekiary, Hypable and possibly others doing his bidding, including attacking the leads on social media, for saying something contradictory to what Misha is saying.  Natalie Fisher of Hypable is more notable for doing this.]

Sees self as “unstoppable” perhaps has even said so.  [With regards to Misha, he might say it about Random Acts or Gish because he want to project being 'humble'.]

Conceals background or family which would disclose how plain or ordinary he is.  [Lied about being poor to garner sympathy - lied about only receiving elite education, because he has never been to public school, and says he lived on his friend, Darius's handouts, including meals, which makes me wonder how trust worthy Misha's friend is. Because don't elite private schools provide meals and uniforms - lied about being mugged]

A gazillion thank yous to my awesome friend, whom I will now refer to as Sam the researcher, because this is the second obscure piece of evidence that she found for me.  I have been looking for it, for too long, fruitlessly.  Also thanks for the second and third ones. 

@iamacynic seems to think non-Misha fans were born without the faculty of thinking.  So this person accused me of being non-empathetic to the fact that Misha was poor and living in a tent.  Do you think nobody knows that?  When Misha first told the story of being poor and having a druggie for a mother, he got a lot of sympathy, which is why over the years, the story has become more and more elaborate.  The Overlord had found his niche.  Misha was poor from birth till age 3.  Mom married a guy who was loaded and who took over responsibility of Misha and his brother.  From 4 till now, Misha has been a rich man.  The elite private schools Misha attended cost more than $50 000 per annum.  Misha attended Greenfield Centre and then Northfield Mount Herman.  He has never attended a public school.  And Misha doesn't remember any of that?  All he remembers is the first 3 years of his life?  Realistically, person will only remember a smidgen of the third year of his life.  Unless someone out there remember age one.  Raise your hands.  Tell us about your extraordinary memory.

YouTube Excursion - Kimi to Boku

Kimi to Boku was a great anime to watch, and I end up recommending it to a lot of people when I get the chance to.

As I said in my previous post, I praise the anime for the story, the characters, the simplicity with the art, and how everything progressed in a way that felt natural.  It was relatable because it was about five teenage guys who are just trying to go through life. They struggle through school, love, and the ultimate conundrum of having no money to buy the video games you want because you’ve got no job. While the main cast lacks female characters, you can kind of understand that that’s because this is about a group of guys, but with that in mind, you do get to meet some female side characters along the way. The voice cast is a lot of fun too, and I liked the OPs and EDs. Aoi Shouta also sings a lot of the inserted song performances. He also has a supporting role too. 

In this YouTube Excursion, I’m going to recommend some music from the anime and some seiyuu events that were just subbed in August. 

Music

Opening One

Ending One

Opening Two

YouTube somehow didn’t work with me here so I couldn’t upload the Aoi Shouta OSTs, but then I realized that it wouldn’t have the same effect for people who haven’t watched the show.

Here’s a list of other tracks to check out:

Opening Two

Shun Matsuoka’s Character Song (Toyonaga Toshiyuki)

Aoi Shouta’s OSTs:

Aoi Shouta Singing Live (【SORA】、【OVER】、【Tomorrow】)

Sora

Tomorrow

March

Candy

Over

(I recommend all of those for after you watch the show.)

The score composer for this series was Masato Nakayama who has also worked on Tonari no Kaibutsu-Kun and arrangements for Mirai Nikki and Katanagatari.

Seiyuu

I kinda didn’t know that Kouki Uchiyama was capable of being that lively, but I think that’s because his friend Ryouhei Kimura is there. I guess he’s like me where you aren’t fond of meeting new people, but when you’re surrounded by someone who’s close, you are a lot happier.

Toyonaga just starts yelling a lot, Kouki writes “Moriagete (GET HYPED)” which Toyonaga takes in stride (causing him to get louder). 

Ono thinks that sesames are living beings. 

“Cockroaches are... ew.” - Miyu Irino

Tonkotsu and Tonkatsu are not the same things, and I got my butt roasted by an article I read about it because Tonkatsu is a fried pork thing while Tonkotsu literally just means bone broth. I know they aren’t the same thing now but it still makes me feel like an idiot.

Okay, by far, the best question was “Where should a high schooler confess?”  I’m not going to say who answered what but here are the answers and my needless commentary.

Classroom - Valid choice until someone walks in.

Rooftop - Good cliche choice. I can respect that

The space between the train station [preferably during the time of the last train] - The fact that they were supposed to match answers... the guy who answered this is a fool. And yeah, right by the train station so when you’re turned down, you can lie on the train tracks and mumble, “Maybe in my next life.”

Shrine - ...I’m genuinely surprised that this guy is married and for at least eight years... wow. That is the stupidest answer I’ve ever heard.

Under the blossoming sakura - Not for me. I’m allergic. I would end up getting snot on whoever it is.

“Write a word that starts with ‘sa’ and ends with ‘n’.” Kouki wrote “Santa-san”. Sure, he’s young if you count 20-21 as being young. The rest of the cast thought it was cute.

Beethoven’s ninth symphony is the most iconic. 

If I were to date a character, dang, it’d have to be Yuuta. Episode seven was great, and I don’t like talking sometimes, so that’d work out just fine.

Best high school memory? None. I’m currently a “delinquent”.

Kouki just shot down Ono so fast, but he was already a married man at this point.

When Kouki interrupted Miyu, Ryouhei just lost it. He walked off-stage and just started dying of laughter, and his story was pretty good too. 

And as for their hairstyles (Uchiyama, Kimura, Toyonaga), all I can say was that this took place nearly a decade ago.
